PIERCE THE VEIL RELEASING THE JAWS OF LIFE (DELUXE EDITION) ON FRIDAY 9TH MAY 2025 VIA FEARLESS RECORDS SHARE NEW SINGLE “KISS ME NOW” - OUT TODAY VIA FEARLESS RECORDS LISTEN / WATCH  Photo By: Celina Kenyon This Friday, 9th May 2025, platinum-selling band Pierce The Veil will release a deluxe version of their hugely successful and chart-topping 2023 album The Jaws of Life. Released in 2023 the LP debuted at #14 on the Billboard Top 200, #2 on the Alternative Chart, and claimed the #1 spot on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. The LP’s lead single “Emergency Contact” became the band’s first #1 single at Alternative Radio. Combined with other standout tracks from The Jaws of Life - “Pass The Nirvana,” “Even When I'm Not with You” and "12 Fractures (feat. Chloe Moriondo)” - the record’s singles have amassed over 140 million streams to date. The Jaws of Life (Deluxe) will contain two new tracks - the band’s take on Radiohead's “Karma Police” which was released in 2024, and a new single, “Kiss Me Now,” out today. The track reveals a more vulnerable side of Pierce The Veil while retaining the high-energy intensity that has won over their fans. The band’s Vic Fuentes says: “ Lyrically, ‘Kiss Me Now’ is a love song to my wife, Danielle, exploring the concept of fear of time passing by too fast. It was inspired by a quote I find true as I move through life. ‘There will never be a perfect time for anything.’ If you spend your life waiting for the perfect moment to do something, it may never come. I tend to overthink things, and this song reminds me to give in more often.”  “I CAN’T HEAR YOU TOUR” WORLD TOUR 2025 On 13th May 2025 Pierce The Veil will hit the road for their highly anticipated "I Can’t Hear You Tour," with the North American leg now set to continue through October 2025. Now covering 60 dates across North America, Europe, and Latin America, this tour marks a bold new milestone for the band, following their standout summer as main support for Blink-182 on the “One More Time” tour. Numerous shows have already sold out including their 20th May stop at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre on 19th June , and a 3-night stand at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles in July. The tour will also make stops at OVO Arena Wembley in London, England; and Espaço Unimed in São Paulo, Brazil. The tour will feature an exciting lineup of support acts across its various legs.

 Photo By: F Scott Schafer Friday, May 2, 2025 – Ice Nine Kills has unleashed “A Work of Art (Live in Melbourne, Australia).” Filmed at the band’s recent sold-out show at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena, the bloodthirsty video offers a visceral examination of INK’s latest single, which was featured in the No. 1 horror blockbuster Terrifier 3 and has slayed Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart for 18 weeks and counting. Watch "A Work Of Art (Live In Melbourne, Australia)" HERE or by clicking the thumbnail below.  “A Work of Art” has already racked up over 35 million streams and debuted at #3 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. Its extended-cut music video—featuring System of a Down’s Shavo Odadjian, Terrifier franchise icons David Howard Thornton (Art the Clown) and Catherine Corcoran, SiriusXM’s Jose Mangin and Vincent Rockwell and Richard Christy (Drummer for Death, Control Denied, and Charred Walls of the Damned). The blood-soaked massacre is directed by Jensen Noen with special effects from Oscar-winner Christopher Nelson and became an instant horror-metal classic upon release. Now, fans can witness the mayhem live, with the band’s signature theatricality on full display in front of thousands of Australian “Psychos.” The release arrives as Ice Nine Kills begin to tear through the U.S. on their immersive Silver Scream-A-Thon headline tour—a two-night, double-feature experience featuring both The Silver Scream (night 1) and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood (night 2) performed in full on respective nights along with fan favourites and deep cuts. The tour is currently underway and includes select stadium stops alongside Metallica on the M72 World Tour.  YUNGBLUD RELEASES ANTHEM TO BRITISH CULTURE ‘LOVESICK LULLABY’ OUT NOW, WITH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO  Yungblud has released his latest single, the brazen Brit-pop anthem ‘Lovesick Lullaby,’ which comes with an equally bold and brilliant music video and tribute to British culture directed by Charlie Sarsfield. Watch HERE. In the new music video, Yungblud, clad in quintessential British designers Burberry, Fred Perry and Sir Tom Baker, is seen in the back of a black London taxi-cab before arriving to a packed-out pub. The video is peppered with pop culture references, including a nod to the iconic British 1982 Maxell “Break the Sound Barrier” commercial, with Yungblud posing in an armchair, blasted by the force of the speaker. The track itself is an unapologetic, in-your-face anthem that celebrates the best of British pop and rock. ‘Lovesick Lullaby’ follows the release of his nine minute and six second epic, ‘Hello Heaven, Hello,’ and showcases a completely different side to the British rockstar with this in-your-face anthem with a wholly British sound. Speaking about the new single, Yungblud said, ‘Making this song was a f*cking party and you can hear that on the recording.” He added, “[I tried to] let my subconscious do a lot of the talking and then make sense of my words the following afternoon in a kitchen, hungover, eating fish and chips with a cup of tea. I've been on a journey trying to find meaning in different places all over the world, for which I am forever grateful, but it felt as though my feet left the ground a little too much and I had to bring myself back… to British music, to British art and culture.” Last month, Yungblud made an appearance on the British late night talk show The Jonathan Ross Show [watch his performance HERE], where he also joined guests on the sofa to discuss the forthcoming album as well as the return of his own-curated festival Bludfest, set for its second year on June 21 in the UK. Speaking about his motivation behind the festival and its affordable price point, Yungblud explained, “It needed to represent a new idea and a new generation. Gigs at the minute are extortionately expensive.”  Announce the April 18th Release of "SWEET" the first of a three-part new album!  Photo by: Eli Ritter With their milestone 20th anniversary year in full swing, Mayday Parade – Derek Sanders, drummer/vocalist Jake Bundrick, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts and bassist/vocalist Jeremy Lenzo – continue the march toward their highly anticipated new three-part studio album with the release of “Towards You” – listen HERE. Watch the visualiser for "Towards You" HERE or by clicking the image below.  Marking the third single from Sweet – the first instalment of their ambitious new project (out 18th April 2025) – “Towards You” offers a heartfelt, stripped-down love song that showcases the band’s timeless songwriting. “‘Towards You’ is really just a simple love song,” shares vocalist Derek Sanders. “Sometimes all you need is an acoustic guitar, some singing, and some strings to tell someone how much you love them.” Following the effervescent bounce of lead single “By The Way” and the introspective depth of last summer’s “Pretty Good To Feel Something,” “Towards You” strips things down to their essence, reminding listeners why Mayday Parade has remained a cornerstone of the scene for two decades. Over the years, the band has amassed an impressive 1.43+ billion streams, a testament to their enduring impact and the deeply personal connection fans have with their music. Set for release just ahead of the band’s Three Cheers for Twenty Years Tour, Sweet is the first chapter in a three-part album that bridges Mayday Parade’s storied past and their ever-evolving future. Recorded with longtime producers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (All Time Low, Jimmy Eat World), the trilogy is their first full-length since 2021’s What It Means To Fall Apart and their first self-released collection since 2006’s Tales Told By Dead Friends EP—which they sold by the tens of thousands in parking lots while following that year’s Vans Warped Tour, building their audience one fan at a time. The Three Cheers for Twenty Years Tour kicks off April 22nd in St. Petersburg, FL, and will see the band traversing North America, celebrating their catalog with fans old and new. With festival appearances lined up—including a return to When We Were Young 2025--Mayday Parade is proving that two decades in, they’re still pushing forward with passion and purpose. With Sweet set to arrive on April 18th, followed by two additional installments in the coming months, Mayday Parade’s next chapter is well underway. Fans can stream “By The Way,” “Pretty Good To Feel Something,” and “Towards You” now!

Pre-orders available - Here  Sweet - First of a Three-Part New Album - Due out April 18th Photo by: Eli Ritter New York, NY - 14th January 2025 - Tallahassee, Florida’s Mayday Parade - vocalist Derek Sanders, drummer/vocalist Jake Bundrick, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts and bassist/vocalist Jeremy Lenzo - announce a massive North American 20-Year Anniversary Tour this Spring. Aptly titled Three Cheers for Twenty Years, the nearly two-month long trek will feature music from every stage of their two decade career including hits, standards, deep cuts and new material. Things kick-off on April 22nd in St. Petersburg, FL at Jannus Live and the headline run has them out through June 7th when they return home to Tallahassee, FL where they’ll play The Moon. “This tour is the culmination of the band's career for the past 20 years, and as such, we really wanted to go all out and provide our fans with a memorable and very special experience. We will be celebrating our deep music catalog starting at this band's inception and continuing with our new releases this year. We are all very proud of what we've done, and when I say we, I mean the five of us, our crew – touring, production, and administrative – and, most importantly, you, the fans. Everyone always says that without you, we couldn't do this, and I know that sounds like a cliche at this point, but that sentiment is repeated because of its literal and figurative truth. While we may “make” the music you enjoy, your energy and support fuel this dream. We look forward to seeing you at these shows and celebrating the past 20 years with us.” – Alex Garcia News of the Spring headline tour follows last week’s announcement of an ambitious new three-part album, marking the band’s first self-released collection since 2006’s Tales Told By Dead Friends EP. The initial installment, Sweet, arrives on April 18, 2025 and demonstrates just how far Mayday Parade has evolved since forming in 2005. Recorded with longtime collaborators, multiplatinum engineers Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount (All Time Low, Jimmy Eat World), the trilogy of releases will serve as Mayday Parade’s eight full-length studio album and first LP since 2021’s What It Means To Fall Apart. As one of the most enduring acts to rise from the underground in the mid-aughts, Mayday Parade has soundtracked both adolescence and adulthood for millions of listeners. Their music stands synonymous with the emo and pop-punk genres: 2007’s A Lesson In Romantics, their gold-certified debut LP, has been hailed as one of the best – and most influential – emo albums of all time by Alternative Press. Monsters In The Closet, their 2013 LP release, debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, and tracks like the platinum-selling “Jamie All Over,” gold-certified “Miserable At Best” and “Oh Well, Oh Well” represent not only widespread commercial acclaim, but the sort of artist-audience relationship that’s fortified them across changing musical landscapes and the ebb and flow of an unforgiving industry. Now, with Sweet set to launch on April 18th, 2025 and the project’s remaining two releases waiting in the wings later this year and into 2026, fans also can look forward to catching Mayday Parade on their career spanning Spring North American headline tour. All confirmed dates are below along with this year’s When We Were Young festival play in Las Vegas, NV on October 18th.
 WAGE WAR -- Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — have entered their world domination era. Last month, the Florida band has announced its fifth album STIGMA, which arrives digitally on 21st June 2024 via Fearless Records, while the physical version will land in stores on September 6. Pre-order it here. Today, the band has shared "TOMBSTONE." Listen here The band has also dropped the visualiser. Watch it here or by clicking the image below.  "Metal riffs meet country western tropes in our new track 'TOMBSTONE,'" the band explains. "A final showdown with an enemy. One fight. Two dogs unleashed."
From its ominous, tension-building opening seconds through the deadly breakdowns, Wage War go hard on "TOMBSTONE." It's got vocals that sound like screamer Briton Bond gargled with a razor blade cocktail, thick and groovy riffs that'’ll have you nodding your head, and battering ram percussion. "TOMBSTONE" finds Wage War, unleashing a hellacious anthem that brings the heavy artillery from start to stomp to finish.  Photo credit: Lina Glasir JINJER, Ukraine's most dynamic musical force, has just unleashed a new live video for their gripping anti-war anthem, “Home Back”. The live version of the song is cut from their highly anticipated first official live DVD/BluRay, Live in Los Angeles, set to be released this Friday, May 17 via Napalm Records. Originally the track appeared on JINJER’s 2019 studio album, Macro. This meaningful song holds profound significance and perfectly embraces the sense of the new live album. In fact, filmed on December 22, 2022 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, CA, USA, Live in Los Angeles not only honors their endurance through recent challenges, but also celebrates their triumphant 15-year journey. During these years, JINJER attained remarkable milestones, touring globally and captivating millions at prestigious festivals like Hellfest, Rock am Ring, Graspop Metal Meeting, Download Festival and Rocklahoma USA. Moreover, their latest triumph, the acclaimed studio album Wallflowers, broke charts worldwide, soaring to #1 on both the US Billboard Top New Artist Album charts and Canadian Hard Music album charts, #2 on the US Hard Music album charts, #5 on the official UK Rock & Metal album charts and #7 on the official German album charts. JINJER on “Home Back”: “Since it‘s original release back in 2019, ‘Home Back’ has become another anthem for JINJER and our followers. From its upbeat musical groove to its lyrics charged with pacifism and unfortunate predictions about the state of the world we find ourselves in today, we felt like this was no brainer to release as the third single for the Live In Los Angeles DVD!” Watch the Live Video for “Home Back” HERE:  Live in Los Angeles was a spontaneous decision by the band, recorded as raw as possible, to emphasize the passion that can come from a live show. This release is an explosive mixture of JINJER’s discography - featuring fan favorites like “Sit Stay Roll Over”, “Call Me A Symbol” and the game changing “Pisces”. The live album contains 16 songs in various audio formats, with some strictly limited: the Deluxe Digipack features not only a DVD, but also two more songs, “Wallflower” & “Disclosure!”, recorded in Paris in 2023.

 THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, who are currently touring the UK supporting LANDMVRKS, have announced a UK headline tour for February 2025. Speaking about returning to the UK the band said, “It has been WAY too long since we had a headline tour in the UK, but the wait is over. You asked, we answer, we hear you every night of this tour! We will see you next February for a massive tour with some very special guests. New music, big shows, get ready, we’re coming!” You can see The Devil Wears Prada headline the UK at the following dates: 17th February 2025 - Slay, Glasgow 18th February 2025 - Club Academy, Manchester 19th February 2025 - Stylus, Leeds 20th February 2025 - O2 Academy Islington, London 21st February 2025 - O2 Institute 2, Birmingham Tickets on sale 16th May 2024 - HERE Earlier this year the band released new single and video for 'Ritual.' The song was co-produced by Grammy nominated Tyler Smyth (I Prevail, Falling in Reverse) and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Blink 182). It finds the band further experimenting with and pushing the boundaries of their signature sound. Watch the video for single Ritual HERE or by clicking the image below.  TDWP continue to smash boundaries and expectations. They are truly operating in the height of their career, having moved over 75,000 tickets on the Metalcore Dropouts tour, during which they've been playing material almost exclusively new material from 2022's Color Decay. Rather than focus on their deep (and much-loved) catalog, the band is leaving fans even hungrier for even more new songs.
 Photo By: Jared Leibowitz YOU WON’T GO BEFORE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO" OUT TODAY VIA PURE NOISE - LISTEN / SHARE On You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, Kentucky’s Knocked Loose have honed in on a diverse, cohesive and savagely aggressive album that sums up the massive strides they’ve taken during their decade as a band, and asserts their boundless potential going forward. Internally, there was the need to challenge themselves as songwriters while retaining the merciless intensity and unflinching honesty that have always been their calling cards. Externally, there was a whole new set of eyes on the hard-touring Louisville quintet, following a banner year on the road, during which they’d brought their underground-seasoned sound to some of the world’s biggest stages.
You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To is filled with boundary-pushing textures and samples the band has collected over the years. “On this album, we go the fastest we've ever gone; we go the scariest we've ever gone. We also go the catchiest and the most melodic that we've ever gone, and that's the point,” guitarist Isaac Hale says. “Instead of branching off into a specific direction, we want to encompass ALL directions.” The new songs find them plumbing through new depths of loathing — directed both inward and outward. Across 10 tracks and 27 gripping minutes, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To leans into Knocked Loose’s most extreme impulses, from blastbeat-driven fury, chaotic turbulence and seismic breakdowns, while seasoning the mix with ear-catching auxiliary percussion, evocative samples and shout-along hooks, all interwoven to perfection by Grammy-nominated, pop-savy producer Drew “WZRD BLD” Fulk. There’s no ceiling for hardcore in 2024 — even an outfit as uncompromising as Knocked Loose can turn up in mainstream-adjacent spaces and win over new fans (see 2023’s viral Coachella and Bonnaroo sets). But there’s a centre to what they do that will never change: uncompromising heaviness, both sonically and thematically. What is evolving is their drive to find new ways to convey that heaviness, and add tasteful variety that only highlights their undiminished ferocity. Everywhere Knocked Loose have been is here on this record — but so is everywhere they may yet go. Knocked Loose’s headlining North American tour is underway. The run hits both coasts with two sold out nights in New York City at Brooklyn Steel and Terminal 5, The Shrine in Los Angeles tomorrow and more. Show Me The Body, Loathe and Speed will support. Last week Knocked Loose announced they will be direct support on Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain Tour which includes plays at Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome (two nights) and other arenas nationwide. See below for a full list of dates. Tickets are available here. PURCHASE / LISTEN / SHARE  Ska alternative rock group, Sublime with Rome, release their final album today. This self-titled album is a culmination of the last fifteen years for the fans as a final farewell honoring the legacy of Sublime.
The band’s frontman Rome Ramirez says, "Please enjoy the final Sublime with Rome album. I debated on whether to release it, but after heartfelt conversations with many of you, I’ve come to realize that the music deserves to be heard. Our fans, you, are at the core of everything we do. Over the past 15 years, we’ve built a beautiful community together, and this album is a testament to that bond. Last spring, we poured our hearts into the studio crafting songs that had been brewing for almost three years. It was a time of both struggle and revelation, filled with pain, love, and purpose. For me, it was clearly the beginning of the end, and finishing this album marks the end of an era—an emotional conclusion to my journey with Sublime. But I’m hopeful that through the music, you’ll find moments of peace and connection, as I did while creating it. Love always triumphs, and I hope this album brings a little more of it into your lives.” In support of the final album, the band is performing nationwide on The Farewell Tour. The touring members for this final leg consist of Rome Ramirez, Joe Tomino on drums, Brian Allen (Miranda Lambert, Zac Brown) on bass, and Gabrial McNair (No Doubt, Green Day) on trombone/keys.
