Electric Callboy have officially joined forces with punk rock royalty for their explosive new single, "Let The Good Times Roll," featuring the unmistakable vocals of The Offspring's Dexter Holland. The track seamlessly fuses Electric Callboy's signature crushing metalcore riffs and electronic techno flourishes with classic punk energy, serving as the latest high-octane preview of their highly anticipated new studio album, Tanzneid, arriving on August 7, 2026. The collaborative track drops just in time for the kickoff of the European summer festival season at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, where the group is billed as a major main-stage attraction.

The single arrives alongside a wildly entertaining, Los Angeles-filmed music video that doubles down on the band's trademark absurd humor, featuring standout celebrity cameos from comedian Howie Mandel, actor/comedian Brian Posehn, and Nekrogoblikon's metal icon John Goblikon. Following the new album drop, the band will bring the Tanzneid era to its peak at their curated Escalation Fest 2026 at Berlin's iconic Wuhlheide. The landmark hometown celebration will showcase the live debut of the full record alongside an Electric Bassboy DJ set, a full-size Tekkno Train, and a stellar supporting festival lineup including Paleface Swiss, Alestorm, Heavysaurus, and The Hardkiss.

Evanescence have officially released their highly anticipated sixth studio album, Sanctuary, which dropped worldwide at the stroke of midnight. The fresh collection houses the band's powerhouse single, “Who Will You Follow,” which recently surged to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, marking the group's very first leader on that specific ranking since it was first introduced in 2020. To celebrate the album's launch, the multi-Grammy-winning rockers have officially extended their monumental world tour to include a massive arena run down under in the early months of 2027. Produced by Live Nation, the newly announced leg marks their first major return to the region since their late 2025 stadium run as special guests on Metallica’s M72 World Tour.

The newly added Australia and New Zealand trek is scheduled to kick off on Friday, March 5, 2027, at Perth’s RAC Arena. From there, the tour will head east for high-octane arena dates in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, before officially wrapping up on March 20, 2027, at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand. General ticket onsales are set to begin next Friday, June 12. These dates heavily expand an already massive global routing that officially kicks off next week on June 11 at the iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. The band will tear through an extensive North American amphitheater run before leaping across the Atlantic for major summertime UK and European gigs, eventually bringing the Sanctuary era to Southeast Asia, Japan, Central America, and South America.

The official 2027 Australia and New Zealand tour dates include:

03/05 – Perth, AU @ RAC Arena
03/07 – Adelaide, AU
03/10 – Melbourne, AU
03/13 – Sydney, AU
03/17 – Brisbane, AU
03/20 – Auckland, NZ @ Spark Arena

Taylor Momsen has spoken out against the modern music industry's reliance on technology, defending her band's strict refusal to utilize backing tracks or click tracks during live performances. Speaking with Thomas Moser of Germany's Rock Antenne, the vocalist emphasized her deep-rooted love for classic rock and '90s grunge, noting that the band treats computers strictly like traditional tape machines to record raw performances without any auto-tune or post-production fixes. Momsen explained that manipulating music takes the essential human element out of the art, adding that "perfection is in the imperfection" and that her ultimate goal is to remain as vulnerable, raw, and honest as humanly possible on stage. To prove their old-school, stripped-down ethos, the band recently treated fans to an intimate club show at London's Underworld, pulling tracks from all eras of their career for a fanbase that Momsen feels fortunate to say still listens to full albums rather than cherry-picking single tracks.

This purist approach sets the stage for a massive year as The Pretty Reckless prepares to drop their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Dear God, on June 26 via Fearless Records. In support of the release, the band will launch their all-new headlining "Dear God" global tour, kicking off in North America this summer with marquee stops in New Orleans, Dallas, and Los Angeles before eventually wrapping up across Europe. The upcoming run follows the band's relentless two-year stint stadium-hopping across the globe alongside rock royalty AC/DC on the "Power Up" tour. It also builds on an incredible 12-month stretch for Momsen, which included performing with Soundgarden at the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, honoring Mariah Carey at the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year Gala alongside Foo Fighters, and scoring a No. 1 Billboard Hot Hard Rock Songs hit with her revamped holiday single, "Where Are You Christmas?".

Nü-metal giants Limp Bizkit officially launched their highly anticipated 2026 touring cycle yesterday, June 3rd, headlining the 'Impact Festival' at the Tauron Arena in Kraków, Poland. Continuing the band's long-standing tradition of dramatic visual reinventions at the start of a new trek, both guitarist Wes Borland and frontman Fred Durst took the stage sporting completely fresh, eye-catching makeovers.

For this latest run of shows, Borland has officially retired his pink-feathered, Día de los Muertos-inspired suit and visage from previous tours. Instead, the visual architect stepped into the European spotlight transforming into an obsidian, golden-bearded warrior. Frontman Fred Durst also turned heads by debuting bright pink hair paired with matching glasses. The vocalist's new look appears to serve as a direct aesthetic nod back to a pair of departed grunge icons: Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and Alice In Chains vocalist Layne Staley. Fan-filmed footage from the explosive Kraków opener has already begun surfacing online, showcasing the band's new era in full swing.

Nineteen years ago today, on June 4, 2007, Paramore officially unleashed "Misery Business" as the lead single from their landmark sophomore album, Riot!. Written by vocalist Hayley Williams and former guitarist Josh Farro, the track instantly resonated across the alternative rock scene, eventually climbing to No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the Alternative Airplay chart. Powered by an infectious, driving opening riff, aggressive rhythm section, and Williams' powerhouse vocal delivery, the song served as the definitive mainstream catalyst that transformed the Franklin, Tennessee outfit from fueled-by-ramen underground darlings into global, arena-headlining superstars.

While the track remains a high-energy time capsule of late-2000s pop-punk and emo culture, its legacy has also been subject to retrospective scrutiny over its angst-ridden, teenage lyrical content. Williams herself famously addressed the internalized misogyny of certain lines, leading the band to actively retire the song from live setlists for several years before triumphantly bringing it back in recent touring cycles with updated, mature perspectives. Whether it takes you back to the days of neon skinny jeans or serves as a staple on your modern heavy rock playlists, there is no denying the generational impact of the song that solidifyed Paramore's spot in rock history.

What's your absolute favorite track or deep cut off the Riot! album?

Alternative rock pioneers The Jesus and Mary Chain have stirred up major debate in the rock community after delivering a scathing review of the late Eddie Van Halen’s legendary guitar playing. Speaking with Stereogum, vocalist Jim Reid first touched on his own minimalist approach to the instrument, explaining that he deliberately only plays to the exact level he needs to, arguing that knowing too much about the technicalities of music can actually get in the way of true creativity. However, the conversation took a sharp turn when his older brother and bandmate, guitarist William Reid, chimed in with a blistering critique of traditional rock virtuosity. "I think guitar players should never learn scales," William asserted. "I think the worst guitar players in the world, like Eddie Van Halen — I can’t stand Eddie Van Halen’s guitar playing. I think he ruined rock guitar all through the ’80s and ’90s ’cause so many people copied him."

William went on to express his deep disdain for the lightning-fast shredding style that the Van Halen co-founder popularized, stating that he could never get into the philosophy of playing as fast as humanly possible and cramming as many notes as you can into a single second. Instead of technical wizardry, the indie-rock musician revealed that his admiration leans toward melody and restraint. To illustrate his point, William pointed to the simplistic, melodic bass lines of Peter Hook—the iconic Joy Division and New Order bassist who is slated for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame later this year. "I listen to Peter Hook’s bass riffs, and I think that’s a thousand times better than anything Eddie Van Halen could ever conjure up," William concluded, solidifying the band's long-standing preference for raw post-punk attitude over arena-rock spectacle.

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe and Grammy-winning producer Andrew Watt appeared as the musical guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night, delivering a rare late-night performance of their collaborative track, “I Played the Fool.” The song serves as the official theme music for The Rooster, the HBO series starring Steve Carell, which the duo initially released back in March to coincide with the show's broadcast premiere.

For the televised performance, the pair assembled an impressive, A-list backing band comprised of alternative rock royalty, pulling in Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith to man the kit and former Chili Peppers guitarist Josh Klinghoffer to handle piano duties. While Klinghoffer reprised his role from the original studio tracking sessions, blink-182’s Travis Barker originally recorded the studio drums for the track. Whether the theme song will find a permanent home on a full-length release remains unknown, though Stipe previously revealed during an April appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that his long-awaited debut solo album is officially expected to drop later this year.
