What’s happening

Alt-metal and industrial-pop shapeshifter Poppy has officially dropped a surprise cover of Alanis Morissette's iconic 1995 alt-rock anthem, "Hand In My Pocket." The unexpected release hit streaming platforms today to the immediate excitement of her fanbase. Rather than appearing on a standalone studio album, the track was recorded specifically for the official motion picture soundtrack and companion album to the film Mile End Kicks.

The new single marks another fascinating sonic pivot for the chameleon-like artist, who has spent the last year frequently contrasting bone-crushing metalcore screams with experimental, avant-garde pop melodies. Poppy's rendition of the Jagged Little Pill classic strips back her heavier industrial tendencies to deliver a stylized, vocal-focused performance that breathes new life into Morissette's legendary lyrics. Fans can stream the official track now on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music via the Mile End Kicks official movie playlist.

Foo Fighters mastermind Dave Grohl is helping rock fans kick off the warm-weather season by curating the ultimate soundtrack for sunshine and backyard grilling. Grohl has contributed an exclusive, hand-picked mix to Apple Music’s Summertime Sounds playlist series titled “Dave Grohl’s Summer Cookout Jams.” Deeply inspired by his well-known, long-standing passion for pitmaster barbecuing, the sprawling 45-track collection blends timeless classic rock with energetic alternative staples. “Any day spent at a barbecue with your friends is, indeed, a lovely day,” Grohl shared, appropriately quoting the title of one of his playlist inclusions, the soulful anthem “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers. The star-studded tracklist also features legendary cuts from rock royalty including Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Tom Petty, Beastie Boys, and The Breeders.

Aside from serving as the master of ceremonies at the grill, Grohl is preparing for an incredibly loud and high-energy summer on the road. Following headlining spring festival appearances, the Foo Fighters are scheduled to officially ignite a massive North American stadium tour this August, which will feature a highly anticipated stop at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland, Ohio. The extensive stadium trek is launched in support of the band's blistering 12th studio album, Your Favorite Toy, which arrived on April 24th via RCA Records. Marking their first studio record to feature powerhouse drummer Ilan Rubin, the fast-paced, 10-track album has already established itself as a massive commercial success, debuting at No. 3 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart and setting up a monumental stadium run for the rock icons.

Extreme power metal icons DragonForce have officially announced a massive 2026 North American headlining tour, marking their very first cross-country run since welcoming former Arch Enemy frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz as their new vocalist. The extensive 22-city campaign will double as a monumental 20th-anniversary celebration of their landmark 2006 studio album, Inhuman Rampage—the breakthrough record that famously birthed the multi-platinum guitar hero anthem "Through the Fire and Flames." The highly anticipated trek is scheduled to ignite on Friday, November 13th at The Observatory North Park in San Diego, California, cutting across the United States and Canada before wrapping up on December 13th at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. Joining the world's fastest band on the stellar touring bill are folk metal favorites Ensiferum and symphonic power metal veterans Rhapsody of Fire.

The upcoming fall tour represents the official dawn of a bold new era for DragonForce, following White-Gluz's earth-shattering addition to the lineup earlier this May after a 12-year tenure with Arch Enemy. The band previously treated fans to an early preview of their blistering new live dynamic with critically acclaimed festival appearances at Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple, but this trek will stand as her first full headlining run at the helm. "Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we've done up to this point," guitarist Herman Li shared in an official statement, noting her transformative impact on their songwriting and live execution. Tickets for the tour are scheduled to officially go on sale to the public this Friday, May 29th at 10:00 AM local time via the band's official website, with special artist and Citi cardmember pre-sales launching today.

Heavy music fans were left with little to celebrate at the 2026 American Music Awards, which took place last night (May 25th) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite high hopes heading into the ceremony with a powerhouse lineup of heavy nominees—including nü-metal icons Linkin Park, alternative metal titans Deftones, and rising British masked sensation Sleep Token—the heavier genres were completely shut out from taking home any hardware. Instead, the night belonged to pop-rock duo Twenty One Pilots and indie-pop artist sombr, who swept the rock-adjacent categories. The disappointing evening closely mirrored the results of this year’s earlier Grammy Awards, where all three prominent heavy bands similarly walked away empty-handed.

Despite the lack of award show recognition, all three snubbed artists are coming off historically massive years on the charts and the road. Sleep Token spent the past year shattering chart records with their latest album Even In Arcadia before launching a highly elaborate global arena tour, while Deftones enjoyed a banner season on the back of their tenth studio album Private Music, which debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Linkin Park continued their monumental comeback era, packing stadiums and arenas worldwide behind their From Zero album and its late-2024 deluxe edition. While the award ceremonies may have missed the mark for the metal community, the sheer touring power and chart success of these three bands prove that the scene remains as dominant as ever.

Rising alternative rocker Kami Kehoe has officially confirmed that her music video for "Dirty" will premiere on Friday, June 5th. The announcement locks in the arrival date for the cinematic project, which has been building massive momentum across social media. Featuring a heavy blend of 90s-inspired rock aesthetics, a brooding atmosphere, and Kehoe's signature gritty live energy, the upcoming release is poised to be one of the alternative scene's standout visual drops of the summer.

The announcement comes as Kehoe continues to cement her status as one of the most compelling and hands-on new creators in the indie rock world. Fans have already flooded her channels with excitement following the initial viral clips, praising the raw, hypnotic tone that perfectly mirrors the track's driving basslines and powerful vocal delivery. Make sure to mark your calendars for June 5th, head over to her official pages to catch up on the teasers, and stay tuned for the big premiere next week.

Weezer mastermind Rivers Cuomo has unexpectedly treated fans to a massive treasure trove of fascinating musical curiosities, uploading 15 solo acoustic covers to his YouTube channel under the cryptic playlist title "randum cuverz." The intimate recordings heavily resemble raw smartphone Voice Memos, though several of the audio files are old enough to entirely predate the smartphone era. Online fan communities on Reddit have been abuzz exploring the rare material, which Cuomo has made fully public, giving listeners a direct window into his personal home recording files and archives spanning his multi-decade career.

The sprawling tracklist stretches across various musical genres, featuring Cuomo's stripped-down, vocal-forward interpretations of Nirvana's "Drain You," Radiohead's "Creep," Metallica's "Enter Sandman," Outkast's "Hey Ya," and Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." While Weezer has famously covered several of these anthems live or on studio projects in the past, the surprise drop also features completely unreleased territory for the frontman, including Sam Hunt's "Body Like A Back Road" and Whitney Houston's "Without You"—a haunting 2003 performance that originally surfaced in shorter form on MySpace and strongly mirrors the raw, emotional essence of Pinkerton's closing track, "Butterfly."

On this day in 2004, Slipknot unleashed their groundbreaking third studio album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), a record that permanently redefined the boundaries of mainstream heavy metal. Looking to expand their musical horizons beyond the raw hatred, disgust, and absolute sonic overload of their first two Ross Robinson-produced masterpieces, the Iowa masked contingent made the bold decision to recruit legendary studio guru Rick Rubin. Recording at Rubin's infamous, haunted Mansion studio in Los Angeles, the pairing pushed the nine-piece brotherhood to channel their inner demons into entirely new arrangements, dynamic structures, and experimental audio textures.

The resulting masterpiece proved to be undeniably vicious, creepy, and dark, yet it uniquely introduced melodic hooks, acoustic compositions, and vocal harmonies that catapulted the band straight into the global mainstream. Even the record's most unrepentantly radio-friendly singles, such as the anthemic "Duality" and the hauntingly melancholic "Vermilion Pt. 2," remained deeply uncomfortable, filled with bizarre avant-garde touches and a heavy sense of psychological dread. Decades later, Vol. 3 stands tall as a masterclass in artistic evolution, proving that a band can completely reinvent its sonic palette without losing an ounce of its core ferocity.
