Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd has sparked fresh speculation regarding the band’s next move after sharing a new photo from the studio. While the multi-platinum alternative rock outfit originally planned to release an album titled Something In The Water in 2025, they ultimately scrapped those plans to head back into the studio for further writing and recording. Despite Boyd indicating in January that the record was finished, this latest glimpse has fans questioning if more work is being done or if the band is putting the final touches on the collection.

This upcoming release will mark the band’s first full-length studio effort since 2017's 8 and their first featuring bassist Nicole Row, who joined the lineup following the departure of Ben Kenney. With the previous release plans abandoned in favor of new material, anticipation is high for what Boyd has described as a more "intentional" and evolved sound for the Californian group.

Daniel Oliver, the powerhouse bassist for the Grammy-nominated rock unit Nothing More, is celebrating his birthday today, February 21, 2026. A foundational member of the group since 2004, Oliver has become as well-known for his thunderous bass lines as he is for his mechanical ingenuity, serving as the primary architect behind the band’s legendary stage contraptions like the "Scorpion Tale" and the "Drum Swing." His vision for integrating heavy machinery with live performance remains a defining hallmark of the band's high-energy identity.

The birthday milestone comes at a time of massive momentum for the San Antonio-born quartet. Having recently dominated the rock charts with multiple #1 singles from their latest album, CARNAL, the band is currently traversing North America on a major headlining tour. Oliver’s craftsmanship continues to push boundaries as the group explores new sonic and visual territories, proving that two decades into their career, their creative fire is only burning brighter.

The brief partnership between CKY and bassist Mike Leon has come to a volatile end, with both sides offering conflicting accounts of the split. Leon, who joined the band in July 2025, released a statement on February 20 claiming he chose to exit due to "unprofessionalism," "toxicity," and a "stressful environment" driven by the actions of frontman Chad I Ginsburg. Leon admitted he had ignored "red flags" and warnings from peers because of his lifelong fandom of the group.

However, Ginsburg quickly fired back in a video statement, asserting that Leon did not quit but was actually fired. Ginsburg cited several reasons for the dismissal, alleging that Leon "hates dogs," refused to tour with the band's dogs, and was consistently unhappy with financial arrangements. Despite the public spat, CKY confirmed that their upcoming tour dates remain unaffected, as they have already secured a replacement bassist.

Kid Rock has achieved a historic milestone, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart with his cover of Cody Johnson’s hit, "’Til You Can't". The achievement marks the artist's first-ever appearance on a Christian music chart and was propelled by a newly written third verse that emphasizes themes of faith and redemption. Rock premiered the updated version—which features lyrics about giving one's life to Jesus—during his headlining performance at Turning Point USA’s "All-American Halftime Show" earlier this month.

Performing under his birth name, Robert Ritchie, for the event, the singer shared that the song is about "redemption and the moment," acknowledging his own past mistakes while pointing toward a second chance through faith. The track has quickly become a cross-genre powerhouse, also securing top positions on the Digital Song Sales and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts.

Two-time Grammy nominees August Burns Red have officially returned to Fearless Records, celebrating the homecoming with the release of their massive new single, "Behemoth". Guitarist JB Brubaker described the track as one of the "heaviest and most raw" songs in the band's two-decade career, noting that it underwent more revisions than any other song they’ve written. Lyrically, vocalist Jake Luhrs explained that the song explores the process of healing from past pains and finding rebirth by "cutting the ties to your past".

The release marks a full-circle moment for the Lancaster, PA, quintet, who previously found massive success with Fearless on albums like Found in Far Away Places and Phantom Anthem. To support the new era, the band is set to embark on the "Spring Horizons" co-headlining tour with The Amity Affliction starting this April.

Founding members of the multi-platinum rock band Live have reignited their long-standing legal battle, with guitarist Chad Taylor and drummer Chad Gracey issuing a cease-and-desist to frontman Ed Kowalczyk. The move, publicised via social media on February 20, 2026, alleges that Kowalczyk and his label, The Fifth Veda, no longer have the authority to use the band’s trademarks. Taylor asserts that Kowalczyk—who claimed to have "fired" the rest of the band in 2022—never had the legal power to do so and remains only one shareholder in Action Front Unlimited, the entity that owns the Live name.

The dispute comes at a critical time as Kowalczyk has been touring under the Live moniker with a new lineup of musicians. This latest legal volley follows over a decade of tension, including a 2012 lawsuit against Kowalczyk for billing himself as "Ed Kowalczyk of Live" and a brief, ill-fated reunion of all four original members between 2016 and 2022. Gracey underscored the seriousness of the new filing by posting the legal letter with the blunt caption: “YOUR LICENSE IS REVOKED”.

Dave Grohl has finally offered his perspective on the band’s decision to part ways with drummer Josh Freese in May 2025. Speaking with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1, Grohl clarified that the choice "didn’t happen overnight" and was a collective decision made by the entire band during a six-month break from touring. While Freese previously expressed shock and disappointment over the "mystery" dismissal, Grohl noted that they simply felt it was time for a "new direction". He also alluded to Freese's own admission that the Foo Fighters' music didn't fully "resonate" with him, calling that a critical factor in the transition.

Grohl described the phone call to Freese as a respectful "thank you" for his time with the band, though he refrained from offering a specific technical reason for the change. The frontman instead focused on the band's current synergy with new drummer Ilan Rubin, whom he hailed as an "incredible blessing" as they prepare for the release of their 12th album, Your Favorite Toy, this April.

Kid Rock has taken to social media to fire back at reports regarding his tour pricing, accusing the media of twisting facts." Clarifying the structure of his premium seating, he explained that the $5,000 price tag applies only to the four seats in the very first row, which he describes as "First Class" accommodations. He further detailed a tiered scale for the first five rows—ranging from $5,000 to $1,000—noting that these represent only 20 total seats in venues holding up to 25,000 people. Rock emphasized that the majority of fans can still attend for $50 via lawn seating and concluded his message with a warning that "sooner or later God will cut ‘em down."

Kid Rock's Full Statement:

Here we go again.

The fake liberal media says I’m charging $5,000 for front-row tickets.
They know damn well that’s not the full story.

Those are extremely limited First Class seats like I explained — FOUR tickets per row, first five rows only (5k per seat row 1, 4k row 2, 3k row 3, 2k row 4, 1k row 5) — Again ONLY 4 seats in rows 1 through 5 (20 "first class" seats in venues that hold 15k to 25k people)

But instead of reporting facts or that lawn seats are only 50 bucks or how we are cutting out the scalpers, they twist it for headlines / clicks and to attack me - nothing new here.

I WILL pray for them but I know that sooner or later God will cut ‘em down.
