What’s happening

Knocked Loose frontman Bryan Garris has provided an encouraging health update regarding his recent Bell's Palsy diagnosis, confirming that he is finally starting to regain physical movement on the left side of his face. Speaking candidly in the latest episode of the band's new documentary web series, Garris addressed the temporary paralysis condition, which struck the band amid a string of incredibly tough logistical hurdles—including their guitarist being struck by a car just prior to their massive stadium tour supporting Metallica. Despite the physical setbacks, the hardcore juggernauts have pushed forward with their live commitments without missing a beat.

Reflecting on the timeline since his initial diagnosis, Garris noted that while the condition briefly intensified, the trajectory has turned a corner. "We are on two and a half to three weeks since the diagnosis," Garris shared. "Since the video, it did get a little bit worse. I got to a point where my left eye was no longer blinking at all, and when I would try to smile, the left side of my mouth was just completely closed—fully stiff—which was difficult." Fortunately, the vocalist woke up recently experiencing a noticeable breakthrough. "I'm experiencing no pain, just a lot of discomfort... But since then it has actually gotten better. I woke up today feeling better than I have since the diagnosis. So I’m regaining some movement here… So yeah, hopefully this means we’re on the road to recovery." Garris credited a strict regimen of acupuncture and routine sauna sessions for helping stimulate blood circulation.

In tandem with the positive health update, Knocked Loose has treated fans to a highly anticipated, intimate live announcement. Following their upcoming appearance at the Outbreak Festival, the band will be performing a special, completely unbarricaded gig inside a church alongside their close friends in electronic-punk outfit Lip Critic. Tickets for the unique event are officially live, serving as a raw, small-scale detour within the band's relentless global touring schedule.

Staind have expanded their upcoming autumn touring plans, adding a special full-album performance of their landmark third studio album, Break The Cycle. The multi-platinum group will take the stage on September 3rd at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, to play the 5x platinum record from front to back. Presale tickets for this newly unveiled date launch today, Wednesday, June 10th, utilizing the access code 'BREAK25'.

The special Connecticut performance joins Staind's previously scheduled anniversary itinerary celebrating the definitive 2001 release, which features massive rock staples like "It's Been Awhile" and "Fade." The band will spend September and October trekking across North American amphitheaters alongside a loaded package of post-grunge and alternative rock veterans, including Seether, Hoobastank, and Hinder. Once the waves of early-2000s nostalgia wind down, Staind is already eyeing the future; the band has fully wrapped production on their highly anticipated ninth studio album, which is currently slated to be officially issued sometime in 2027.

MGK has opened up about the severe medical complications he endured after rushing the process behind his massive "dark mode" blackout tattoo. Speaking in a new interview with Billboard Canada, the 36-year-old musician revealed that he completely ignored the timeline advised by celebrity tattoo artist ROXX, opting to compress what should have been a careful two-year procedure into a grueling two-month period. Driven by a desire to cover up older tattoos that reminded him of chaotic eras marked by drugs and death, the singer established a relentless daily routine of getting tattooed at ROXX's Los Angeles studio without building in vital windows for bodily healing.

The extreme physical strain quickly triggered a severe systemic reaction. “After the first week, we hit my lymph nodes around my armpits and shoulders, and I got really sick," MGK shared. "My skin was turning yellow. I wasn’t able to sleep. I stopped being able to move certain parts of my upper body." The alarming symptoms mirror known risks highlighted by medical experts, who note that a widespread immune response can occur when the body's immune cells react heavily to chemicals in ink and carry them to local lymph nodes.

Despite the temporary paralysis and scary health scare, the father of two views the intense physical transformation as a necessary metaphorical obstacle that ultimately brought him profound mental clarity. After looking in the mirror and feeling like his old tattoos made his past struggles scream off his skin, clearing the canvas allowed him to find a new sense of identity. MGK noted that he emerged from the stressful ordeal feeling far less chaotic, more focused, and creatively recharged, stating, "I came out the other side extremely inspired. Not just because of what I had done, but because of what I had to overcome."

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jack White has caught the music world off guard once again, quietly launching pre-orders for his unexpected seventh solo studio album, Frozen Charlotte, via his official Third Man Records webstore. Keeping with his recent tradition of unconventional rollouts—reminiscent of how he stealthily distributed his lauded 2024 album No Name via unmarked vinyl bags—White skipped formal press releases entirely, opting instead to simply update his online shop. Scheduled for a July 10th street date, the upcoming 13-track effort includes the recently released singles “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico,” and features original cover artwork created by White himself, which he previously teased during an Instagram studio video.

According to the official product description, the material was tracked directly at Third Man Studio in Nashville immediately following a string of universally acclaimed live performances. Rather than taking a break from the road, White brought his scorching-hot touring lineup straight into the studio, capturing the performances alongside longtime collaborators Patrick Keeler on drums, Dominic Davis on bass, and Bobby Emmett on keyboards. The collection promises to carry on the same raucous, raw, and frenetic energy of his previous record, combining intense rock-and-roll punches with deep, underlying blues foundations. The surprise studio drop lands right in the middle of a heavy stretch of 2026 international tour dates, which will see the guitar virtuoso trekking across major venues throughout North America and Europe over the coming months.

Heart frontwoman Ann Wilson has opened up candidly about her 2024 battle with cancer, detailing the mental hurdles of the diagnosis and the grueling reality of post-operative preventative chemotherapy. Speaking in a new interview with Jesse Thorn on the NPR program Bullseye, the iconic singer admitted that her primary fears during the health scare were deeply tied to her lifelong musical identity. "I really did worry about my physical self on stage more than I worried about it any other way," Wilson revealed. "What I would care about the most would be, 'Oh, my God. Will I still be able to sing?' Yeah, I definitely worried about that." Despite the initial anxiety, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee credits an unwavering sense of optimism for helping her navigate the treatment process without spiraling into despair, stating that she remained focused on pushing through to the other side.

While Wilson acknowledged that chemotherapy and the subsequent waiting periods for test results amount to intense physical and mental torture, she emphasized that the grueling road back to baseline is often the ultimate test. "The recovery from cancer is harder than the cancer, really, in life," Wilson observed, adding that while the journey touched her on a profound level, she managed to avoid falling into a dark mental space. Her resilient mindset paved the way for a triumphant return to live performing in 2025. The intimate look into her health journey mirrors the raw vulnerability showcased in her new authorized feature documentary, In My Voice. Directed by Prime-Time Emmy nominee Barbara Hall, the archival-heavy film recently celebrated its world premiere run across North America, mapping out Wilson's trailblazing 50-year career leading one of hard rock’s most influential, multi-platinum institutions.

Post-hardcore pioneers Underoath have confirmed a North American tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal, gold-certified 2006 studio album, Define The Great Line. The monumental commemorative run will feature a powerhouse lineup, bringing metalcore titans August Burns Red and Atreyu out as primary support. Scene stalwarts As Cities Burn and Emery are also tapped to perform on select legs of the trek, which is scheduled to conclude just ahead of the Christmas holidays with an emotional hometown finale for Underoath in Tampa, Florida.

Reflecting on the record's staggering two-decade legacy, Underoath keyboardist and programmer Chris Dudley expressed how deeply the album shaped the band's identity. "What this album has meant to us, and so many others, over the past 20 years is hard to quantify," Dudley shared. "It gave us permission to be ourselves. It sent us around the world. It gave people the freedom to say (and scream) the things out loud they had buried deep. It will outlive us. We still play these songs on stage 20 years later and get those chills. The opportunity to devote an entire tour to presenting this album in the best way it ever has been, alongside friends we’ve had since before it was released, is going to be bucket list material for us."

In addition to the standard tour dates, the core roster will double as the official lineup for August Burns Red’s annual 'Christmas Burns Red' extravaganza. The festive holiday event is locked in for December 3th at Freedom Hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Following a highly successful, sold-out spring run, Mudvayne and Hellyeah vocalist Chad Gray has officially announced a massive fall extension for his ongoing "30 Years Of Madness" solo tour. Launching in late August and running through October, the newly added dates are designed to continue celebrating Gray's multi-decade career by bringing the catalogs of both his iconic bands to the stage on the same night.

Legendary shock rock pioneer Alice Cooper experienced a serious stroke of good luck earlier this month after a local Good Samaritan safely tracked down and returned his lost credit card. The rock icon had been golfing in Payson, Arizona, when he accidentally left his card behind at a gas station pump. Local resident Geoff Guy discovered the abandoned card, immediately recognized the famous name printed on the back, and proactively contacted Cooper's management team to coordinate a safe return before the singer departed the country for an upcoming five-week European concert tour.

The official handoff took place on Monday morning, June 8th, at Cooper's Solid Rock Teen Center in Phoenix, with local outlet 12News on hand to capture the wholesome meeting between the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and his eagle-eyed savior. The fortunate resolution ensures a smooth departure for Cooper, whose packed 2026 schedule includes the highly anticipated publication of his definitive autobiography, Devil On My Shoulder, slated to be released by Ebury Spotlight on October 8, 2026. The book arrives on the heels of immense career momentum, riding high off the widespread critical acclaim of 2025's The Revenge of Alice Cooper, which successfully reunited the surviving members of the original, seminal 1970s Alice Cooper band lineup.

Shinedown guitarist Zach Myers has pulled no punches regarding the controversial rise of artificial intelligence in music creation, calling the use of AI song generators an "awful" trend that lacks genuine human substance. Speaking in a new interview with Primordial Radio, Myers targeted the growing reliance on algorithms and machine learning models to synthesize melodies, harmonies, and lyrics—particularly pointing out an unnamed app being utilized within the Nashville songwriting circuit. "You can hear it, dude. It's so bad," Myers stated bluntly. "How about you actually live a little life, go through some shit, and then write a song about it?" While the guitarist clarified that he uses tools like ChatGPT for regular day-to-day inquiries and respects traditional human collaboration, he drew a definitive line at allowing technology to take over artistic output, calling it a dangerous game that strips away real soul.

Myers’ comments align seamlessly with frontman Brent Smith, who recently confirmed that absolutely no artificial intelligence was used in the making of Shinedown's newly released eighth studio album, Ei8ht, which arrived on May 29th via Atlantic Records. Smith echoed the sentiment that true music requires a heartbeat, a consciousness, and the undeniable kinetic energy that occurs when living human beings push air with physical instruments in a room together. Rather than letting software dictate the template, bassist and producer Eric Bass meticulously refined any loops or sequences on the record to ensure the final product remained completely organic. Pushing back against hierarchy figures who assume the public won't notice a synthetic product, Smith challenged creators to look at the cautionary tales of AI in cinema, joking, "Go watch Terminator and tell me how you feel afterwards."

Backed by a completely authentic studio catalog, Myers delivered the ultimate mic-drop moment regarding the band's self-made legacy, stating, "This is the most cocky thing I'll ever say in my life—we got 24 Number Ones without using a computer." Fans will soon get to experience that unfiltered, human energy live as Shinedown prepares to launch their massive "Dance, K…

Wishing a very happy birthday to Wes Scantlin, the distinctive frontman, guitarist, and founding force behind multi-platinum post-grunge hitmakers Puddle of Mudd, who celebrates his birthday today, June 9th! Emerging from the late '90s underground scene and exploding onto global airwaves with the band’s 2001 major-label debut Come Clean, Scantlin’s raspy, emotionally charged vocal delivery became a defining soundtrack of the early 2000s rock landscape. With massive, chart-topping alternative staples like "Blurry," "Control," and "She Hates Me," he cemented his place as a premier songwriter of his generation, delivering earworm hooks and heavy grooves that continue to dominate rock radio rotation.

Today, Scantlin continues to push forward with a solid new Puddle of Mudd lineup that includes guitarist Miles Schon, bassist Michael Anthony Grajewski, and drummer Jon Smith. The band is currently touring out in support of their latest album, Kiss the Machine, which recently spawned the poignant, reflective single and music video "Free"—a track that Scantlin notes is all about finding your way through life's inevitable ups and downs. Beyond the stage, the rock vocalist is also keeping busy channeling his multi-decade journey in the music industry into a highly anticipated upcoming autobiography, which he is co-authoring alongside his brother. Crank up Come Clean today to celebrate one of the most recognizable voices of the 2000s rock boom!
