Early grunge band Skin Yard releasing ’Skin Yard Select’ vinyl box set

Asking Alexandria to drop new EP, ‘Where Do We Go From Here? The Remixes’

Ozzy Osbourne shares reaction to Jake E. Lee shooting: “I just hope he’ll be OK”

Tim Montana has put his unique tour bus up for auction, a 1998 Prevost Marathon XL originally commissioned by Charlie Sheen. According to Sheen, he designed the bus during a "12-day bender" to resemble a swanky Los Angeles bar called Bar One. After acquiring the vehicle, Montana renovated the interior to better suit a touring band, replacing the bar-style layout with six bunks, while retaining features like plush red couches, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen.

The bus, which Sheen used during his time on Two and a Half Men, is now live for bidding starting at $5,000. This sale coincides with a busy period for Montana, who just released the single "Break Me Down" and is preparing for the July 17 release of his new album, Entire State of Tim Montana. Montana is also set to hit the road later this month, joining Alter Bridge for a tour beginning April 25.

Billy Morrison, the guitarist for Billy Idol, has released the music video for his new single "Becoming." This track features Godsmack's Sully Erna and Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme. The video shows the three musicians performing together in heavy rain. Morrison shared that the conditions were intense, saying, “It was over 90 degrees outside, and we were locked in a steel room with constant running water for 5 hours.” He humorously added, “It was like playing in an Ecuadorian rainforest. It played havoc with the hair!”

"Becoming" will be part of Morrison's upcoming album, titled Hollow, which is set to drop in August. The album will also feature collaborations with several notable artists, including Marilyn Manson, Dexter Holland from The Offspring, Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, and rappers Chuck D, B-Real, and DMC. Hollow follows Morrison's 2024 release, The Morrison Project, which included the track "Crack Cocaine" featuring Ozzy Osbourne.

Nickelback bassist Mike Kroeger has confirmed that the band's eleventh studio album is "almost done." The update came via a social media post where Kroeger also shared X-rays of his broken foot, noting that the injury has shifted his focus to upper-body workouts while the band puts the finishing touches on their latest project. "I like it. You will too," Kroeger assured fans regarding the new material.

While a specific release date has not yet been set, the upcoming record will follow the band's recent active streak, including the release of their single "Bones for the Crows," which was featured in Dungeon Hunter 6 and selected as the official theme song for WrestleMania 42. The new album will be their first full-length collection since 2022's Get Rollin', as the diamond-certified Canadian rockers continue to dominate the radio rock landscape.

Yes has announced their 24th studio album, titled Aurora, set for release on June 12, 2026, via InsideOut Music/Sony Music. The legendary progressive rock band, currently led by guitarist Steve Howe, shared the news today alongside the debut of the album's title track and an accompanying animated music video.

The new record was produced by Howe and features the long-standing lineup of Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, and Jay Schellen.
The album’s title and visual direction were inspired by early musical sketches that suggested a sense of "light and emergence," which immediately resonated with long-time collaborator and artist Roger Dean, who provided the cover art. Aurora marks the band's first studio output since their 2024 "Classic Tales Of Yes" tour and includes the nearly 14-minute epic "Countermovement." Fans can pre-order the album in several formats, including a deluxe artbook edition featuring Dolby Atmos and 5.1 Surround Sound mixes.

Maynard James Keenan has voiced sharp concerns regarding the current state of global society, stating that humanity has "lost the f*cking way." Speaking with Louder, the frontman for Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer expressed alarm over a perceived lack of empathy and the breakdown of meaningful conversation. He argued that the ability for people to talk to one another has been "vanquished" and "unplugged," a theme he also explored on Puscifer’s latest album, Normal Isn’t.

Keenan attributed much of this disconnect to digital algorithms and social media programming that feed "dopamine addiction" and foster fundamentalist extremism across the political spectrum. Describing himself as a centrist, he warned that people are being "puppeteered" into dying on hills over "stupid sh*t." The singer also shared a personal observation of this political creep, noting his surprise at hearing his 10-year-old daughter and her friends discussing the controversial Project 2025 initiative. Despite his concerns, Keenan maintained that his primary role is that of a storyteller, reporting what he sees through his music and art.

Afrika Bambaataa, a foundational figure in the birth of hip-hop, died in Pennsylvania yesterday, April 9, at the age of 68. His lawyer confirmed that the cause of death was prostate cancer. Born Lance Taylor in the South Bronx, Bambaataa became a towering figure in the 1970s and 80s, helping to shape the burgeoning electro-funk and hip-hop movements. He is most widely recognized for his 1982 masterpiece "Planet Rock" and for using his influence to resolve local gang conflicts through the formation of the Universal Zulu Nation art collective.

Bambaataa’s legacy is as influential as it is complex. While credited with introducing beat breaks and the Roland TR-808 drum machine to the genre, his later years were marred by numerous allegations of sexual abuse dating back to the 1980s. Despite his steadfast denials, these accusations led to a public apology from the Universal Zulu Nation in 2016. Nevertheless, his impact on global music culture remains undeniable, with his talent agency noting that "everything hip hop is today, it is because of him."

wisted Sister has officially announced their first string of performances featuring Sebastian Bach as their new lead singer.

The new-look lineup, which includes classic members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, is scheduled to kick off their run on September 4 at the Alaska State Fair.

The initial itinerary includes four North American stops, hitting Oklahoma in mid-September before wrapping up with two Canadian dates in early October. Fans recently got a preview of the collaboration when Ojeda joined Bach on stage during a solo show to perform “I Wanna Rock.” This revamped version of the band also features bassist Russell Pzütto and drummer Joey Cassata. An artist pre-sale is currently underway with the code TWISTED2026, followed by a general ticket sale on Friday, April 10.

Tim Montana has returned with his latest single, "Break Me Down," a high-octane track that blends his signature Southern rock swagger with gritty, Seattle-style grunge. Released today, April 9, the song tackles heavy themes of anxiety and control. Montana described the track as being for "the broken souls who never show it on the outside," emphasizing the idea that the right person can pull someone out of a dark place even when they feel "too far gone."

The single is accompanied by a cinematic music video directed by Richard Gray, filmed at the Yellowstone Film Ranch in Pray, Montana. This latest release continues Montana’s evolution from his country-rock roots into a more distortion-heavy, vulnerable sound, a shift he began with his 2021 project Long Shots. With a career that has already earned endorsements from legends like Dave Grohl and Billy Gibbons, Montana continues to cement his place as a premier storyteller in the modern rock landscape.

Bret Michaels is looking toward 2027 as a "good reunion year" for Poison, potentially coinciding with the 41st anniversary of their debut album, Look What the Cat Dragged In. Appearing on SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation with Eddie Trunk on April 6, Michaels addressed recent rumors surrounding the band's failed 2026 tour plans. While drummer Rikki Rockett previously claimed the tour fell through due to Michaels demanding a "lion's share" of the pay, Bret dismissed the talk as drama, stating that formal negotiations never even reached the financial stage.

Michaels explained that the 2026 dates were pushed back last summer due to scheduling conflicts with his solo commitments. He emphasized his long-standing friendship with his bandmates—Rockett, Bobby Dall, and C.C. DeVille—calling them his "brothers" and noting that any disagreements should be handled over the phone rather than through the media. While Rockett is currently touring with his new band, The Rockett Mafia, performing Poison's debut in its entirety, Michaels expressed optimism that a full four-way discussion will lead to a successful "40 Plus One" reunion tour in the near future.
