​Rock band Dance Gavin Dance is excited to share their new single and music video “Trap Door”, out now here. The third track to be released from their forthcoming album Pantheon, “Trap Door” is a collision of anxious energy and unhurried melodies.

​On “Trap Door”, vocalist/guitarist Andrew Wells shares: “’Trap Door’ is an unrelenting banger about sticking to your principles, persevering through hate, and achieving triumph over your enemies. Very much like climbing to the summit of the mountain when everyone told you that it couldn’t be done.”

Pantheon, the band’s 11th studio album, is set to be released on 12th September 2025 via Rise Records. Their first full length release since 2022’s Jackpot Juicer – which debuted at #8 in the Billboard Top 200 – Pantheon sees the band building on their signature genre defying sound with soul shredding breakdowns, pop infused melodies, frenzied screams, and guest vocals from the legendary master of Pfunk, George Clinton on the song “Space Cow Initiation Ritual”. Fans can pre-save / pre-order Pantheon as a 2LP set now HERE.
​

Dance Gavin Dance recently wrapped up the headlining Return Of The Robot Tour with special guests The Home Team, Belmont, and Dwellings. The North American run included sold out performances in Philadelphia, New York, Worcester, Toronto, Charlotte, and more.

I PREVAIL - ANNOUNCES FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM "VIOLENT NATURE"

​Today, the Grammy-nominated rock band I Prevail announced their fourth studio album Violent Nature set for release 19th September 2025 via Fearless Records. They also released their third single off the record, “Rain” with an accompanying music video.
Picture
​“Rain” is a powerful, emotionally charged track showcasing the band’s ability to balance heaviness with vulnerability. It feels both aggressive and cleansing as it explores the weight of suffering and the relief that comes with finally being set free from misery. It sets the tone for what’s to come in the new record: a collection of tracks that are darker, deeper, and more intense than ever.

Frontman Eric Vanlerberghe shared his thoughts on the new track below:

“Rain was one of the first songs we wrote for the record. As time went along and more songs started filling up the tracklist, it continued to be one of my favorite songs. Thematically, Rain deals with acceptance of things out of your control and finding clarity.”

Just last month, the band released the steadfast anthem “Into Hell,” following the release of their heaviest track to date, “Violent Nature,” the month prior. Both releases marked a major turning point for the band as they ushered in a new chapter with Vanlerberghe as the only lead singer.
​

The entire record was produced by the band’s bass player Jon Eberhard, and it boasts a total of ten hard-hitting tracks you can find below.

“CHANGES - (LIVE FROM VILLA PARK) BACK TO THE BEGINNING” FT NUNO BETTENCOURT, FRANK BELLO, ADAM WAKEMAN AND II
​Ahead of his SOLD-OUT North American tour, which starts next month, the globally recognized, creative force, Yungblud, has released a version of “Changes,” recorded live at Black Sabbath’s farewell concert, titled ‘Back to the Beginning’, at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK on Saturday July 5. The event became the highest grossing charity concert of all time.
 
Watch the official video for “Changes (Live from Villa Park) Back to the Beginning” HERE.
 
“Changes – (Live from Villa Park) Back to the Beginning” featuring Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Frank Bello (Anthrax), Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne) and II (Sleep Token) is a breathtaking rendition of the 1972 track featuring a powerhouse lead vocal by the 27-year-old British artist, whose recent album ‘Idols’ went to Number 1 in the UK charts, becoming his third consecutive album to do so. Delivered in front of over 40,000 fans at the band’s home stadium, the performance served as part of a moving send-off for a group widely regarded as a seminal force in Rock.
 
Yungblud dropped the track as a single today, announcing that all proceeds will be donated to Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice. 
 
Speaking about the single, Yungblud said, “This was hands down the biggest moment of my entire life. I got to stand on stage and honor one of my heroes, and the fact that it has touched so many is truly overwhelming.”
 
He added, “The best part about this release is that we can take such a monumental moment, immortalize it on tape, release it and donate all the money to such important causes in Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice. This is what Rock and roll is about. Stream it, buy it, add it to your playlist – let’s raise some f*cking money.”
 
Last week, Yungblud shared a video online which captured a tender moment between him and Black Sabbath’s legendary frontman, Ozzy Osbourne ahead of the concert. In the video, the young artist is seen gifting Osbourne a custom piece of jewelry. Yungblud is heard saying, “Thank you for everything.” (Watch the video HERE).
 
Yungblud’s performance on the single received the seal of approval from Osbourne, who said, “He did an amazing job. I couldn’t have done it better myself.”
 
‘Back to the Beginning’ featured performances by Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Metallica, Pantera and more. The likes of The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler also made guest appearances, whilst guitar legend Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine oversaw the epic event as its Musical Director.
 
Today, Mercury Studios announced that ‘Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow’ will see its theatrical debut in early 2026. The feature-length concert film is currently in production and will celebrate the enduring legacy of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. 
 
“Changes – (Live from Villa Park) Back to the Beginning” Featuring Nuno Bettencourt, Frank Bello, Adam Wakeman and II by Yungblud is out now via Capitol / Locomotion / Island.
 
On August 23, Yungblud’s SOLD OUT 16-date North American headline tour will start in Los Angeles, CA, with support from Sawyer Hill across all dates. For more details, go to: www.yungbludofficial.com/tour/

Noah Cyrus Releases Album "I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME."

7/11/2025

​Today, GRAMMY® nominated artist, songwriter, musician and producer Noah Cyrus has released her career-defining sophomore studio album I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME (RECORDS/Columbia Records). Listen HERE.
 
Rooted in Americana, indie folk, and country music, and co-produced by Noah Cyrus alongside trusted collaborators Mike Crosseyand PJ Harding, I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME is an other-worldly, humbling and heartfelt listening experience, mixing ethereal and whispered vocals with full-throated declarations, all tied together by gorgeous organic instrumentation; pedal steel, banjo, dulcimer, mandolin, cellos, and acoustic guitars framing Noah’s smoky and distinctive voice.
 
“For a long time, I couldn't really trust in my own choices. I had to learn how to make decisions for myself and make that transition into adulthood,” Noah Cyrus, now 25, says. “But I've found who I am, I know who I am, and this record shows what I had inside me all this time. This album is me.”
 
Paying homage to members of her family and nature in ways both subtle and overt pair effortlessly with Noah and Crossey’s immersive interpretation of country music throughout the album. “When I was a kid, I was so enamored with how each instrument came together with the beat to create a memorable moment in a song, like the outro chorus in ‘Don’t Put It All On Me’ and ‘New Country.’ I remember asking my father, ‘Dad, what’s that called?’ and he said, ‘Sissy, that’s called dynamics,’” Noah says. “I think of that every time I walk into a studio to make my own music. I’m always focused on sonics and dynamics.”
 
The album opens with “I Saw the Mountains,” a rousing tale of recognizing and communing with the beauty in nature. As a child of Tennessee and California, Noah was always outdoors, and often on horseback. “The harmony between people and the earth is really taken for granted,” she says. “My dad taught us from an early age to connect with nature and the animals that inhabit it.” 
 
On “Don’t Put It All On Me,” a song her brother Braison wrote for her, Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, one of Braison’s favorite bands joins Noah. “My brother observed our family dynamics and how in some ways I’d take it all upon my shoulders and he wrote that song from his perspective,” she says. “We’ll always be there for each other, and I wanted to honor him with that performance.”
 
“Apple Tree” embodies the album’s aesthetic. Over a brooding piano melody, Noah sings, “Love is a bottomless pit/And because of you I’m falling forever in it,” evoking the gothic wordplay of inspirations like Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen. Near song’s end, she unleashes a cathartic, wailing vocal before ceding the spotlight to a voice from long past: that of her grandfather, Ron Cyrus, who is heard reciting a hymn written by Eldon Lindsey Cyrus, Noah’s great grandfather.
 
“All of my thoughts turn back to days of childhood… My father and mother, sisters and brothers, I never dreamed how far we’d roam,” Noah’s grandfather, whom they called “Pappy,” says in the vintage audio sample that inspired the album’s title. “When I hear that part of the song, I see my mom tucking me in, I see us with my dad up on the hill by the fire. Memories of us all together flood my mind,” Noah says “That’s something I really hope for. Death itself doesn’t scare me, but the chance of never seeing my loved ones together again after death, terrifies me.”
 
She also brings to life the very first song her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, ever wrote. “With You” is a crisp electric-guitar ballad about undying devotion: “Just listen in the wind and know that I’m your friend/And always with you,” she sings. “My dad is one of my biggest influences,” Noah says. “He turned me on to so many great songs and artists. My musical inspirations came from somewhere, and more often than not, it’s been him.”
 
“Way of the World,” with its easygoing groove, is reminiscent of Noah’s favorite song by Bob Seger, “Against the Wind,” as Langley and Cyrus trade lines and lean into the track’s free-spirit vibes — it’s reminiscent of the groundbreaking Trio album by Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris. The lyrics underscore Noah’s mature writing style, as she charts a life from birth to its end: “You can’t return to the safe space you lost,” she sings, “From your mother’s womb/Into the chaos of a cold hospital room.”
 
On “New Country,” Noah plants her flag of independence, with harmonies from Shelton, whose appearance co-signs Noah as a true country songwriter. “All these eyes on you/Waiting on you to fall/Cause the box they put you in/Just don’t fit you anymore,” goes one lyric. Elsewhere, she writes about being unable to ever go back: “Then you have to find new country.” “It's a song about finding a new place in life, about walking on your own two feet, and realizing that change is the only thing that’s constant,” she says. “The only way out is through.”

"This EP is a step into a place where we solidify who we are as raw and as purely as possible." says the band.  "We wanted to push the boundaries of the current state of music to hear something that we wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else while revisiting our thrash-inspired technical pop-punk sound sonically. “Live A Lie” is a song that revisits our pop-punk roots and is meant to be an anthemic, catchy, and classic feel of the sound along with implementing our technical and shreddy flare”.

Less than a month remains before San Jose metalcore/hardcore band MUGSHOT unleashes their long-awaited sophomore album, All The Devils Are Here. Today, the rising four-piece reveals the impending record's massively heavy 3rd single, 'I'll Be Here Forever,' and accompanying music video. 

Commenting on the new single, the band says:  "This was one of the most difficult to finish lyrically, but came together better because of that. We all felt a sense of isolation while writing and recording this album so thematically, this song is centered around sacrificing whatever you feel is necessary to accomplish one’s goals, even if that means ultimately harming yourself or those around you."

All The Devils Are Here, will be released 20th June 2025 via Pure Noise Records.
