Boston-based blues trio GA-20 has ignited a massive online debate about the aviation industry's treatment of musicians' property after sharing a viral video of a pre-flight TSA security checkpoint ordeal. The incident occurred at San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport in California, where an overzealous agent insisted on physically dismantling a high-end Mono Creators guitar case.

According to the band—which features guitarist Matthew Stubbs, vocalist/guitarist Cody Nilsen, and drummer Josh Kiggans—all members hold TSA PreCheck status. Despite this, the agent refused to run the case through the X-ray machine until he had spent 20 minutes ripping out the interior padding and stuffing, which he was then unable to put back together. The band noted that the physical swabbing of the case wasn't deemed enough by the agent, rendering the $380 premium gig bag completely ruined. "The gig bag is trash now," the band shared on social media, noting sarcastically that they were handed a business card to file an email complaint.

The viral clip quickly drew outrage from the music community, with prominent guitarists like Guthrie Trapp calling the situation "f*cking insanity" and singer-songwriter Bones Owens echoing frustrations regarding a widespread lack of care and common sense toward musicians' livelihoods during air travel. Official TSA policy notes that musical instruments must undergo screening and physical inspection at checkpoints, advising travelers to inform officers if an instrument requires special care—though GA-20's experience shows that communication doesn't always prevent disaster.

Have you ever had a nightmare experience trying to get your musical gear or valuable equipment through airport security?

Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett is facing heavy backlash from pop music fans after labeling today's mainstream popular music "crap" in a new interview with The Irish Times. Reflecting on his own upbringing, Hammett reminisced about a time when learning an instrument required intense personal dedication and ear training. "I kind of lament [not having] those days when people had to really struggle to learn, because it’s all in the struggle," Hammett explained, noting that while the technical precision of modern internet-taught musicians is impressive, he feels the creative soul of songwriting has suffered. He went on to add, "right now, songwriting and pop music is crap... Because I’ll say it again, K-R-A-P. Crap. Sorry for all you pop fans out there".

The blunt comments arrive hot on the heels of another recent controversy involving the thrash metal icon. Just last week, Hammett turned heads and ignited the internet when he wore a shirt reading “Taylor Swift Is a CIA Psyop” during Metallica's performance in Budapest, Hungary. While the wardrobe choice appeared to be a joke, it quickly drew the ire of dedicated "Swifties". The tension only amplified a few shows later in Dublin, Ireland, when Hammett accidentally fell off the stage while playing "Seek & Destroy"—an incident that ecstatic pop fans quickly celebrated online as swift cosmic karma. Metallica is currently preparing to wrap up their European run in London before heading into their massive 24-date "Life Burns Faster" residency at the Las Vegas Sphere starting this October.

Do you think Kirk has a point about modern songwriting losing its edge, or is he just being an out-of-touch rock purist?

Today, June 25th, marks the 33rd birthday of Alex Terrible (born Aleksandr Shikolai), the ferocious, lightning-rod frontman of deathcore heavyweights Slaughter to Prevail. Born in 1993, the Russian-born vocalist has spent the last decade completely redefining the boundaries of extreme metal with his unbelievable, bone-shaking guttural growls and commanding stage presence.

From his early days exploding across the internet with viral YouTube vocal covers to leading Slaughter to Prevail into massive global success with crushing anthems like "Demolisher" and "Baba Yaga," Alex has firmly cemented his legacy as one of the most uniquely influential and formidable vocalists in modern heavy music. Beyond the microphone, he has continued to expand his horizons into the world of combat sports, custom mask design, and recently welcoming a newborn son.

Sleep Theory have just unveiled their latest studio offering, taking on the early Paramore classic "My Heart." An official visualizer for the cover track, directed by Hugo Rubiano, was released today. The emotional, heavy-hitting rendition marks a special connection for the group, as both Sleep Theory and Paramore hail from the state of Tennessee.

The new single follows closely on the heels of the band's recent, highly buzzed-about cover of *NSYNC's pop anthem "Bye Bye Bye." By pivoting from late-90s boy band pop to mid-2000s nostalgic emo, the band continues to showcase their versatile range and knack for reinterpreting scene classics.

Does Sleep Theory's heavier take on "My Heart" do justice to Paramore's iconic All We Know Is Falling deep cut?

L.A.-based rock outfit Dead Poet Society has officially unleashed their second standalone single of the year, a shape-shifting track titled "Roach." The heavy release arrives alongside an eerily captivating, strikingly cinematic official music video co-directed by frontman Jack Underkofler and visual collaborator Mindreader. Exploring a darker psychological landscape, the band shared that the track is built entirely around the concept of deep-seated bitterness: "Resent. That is what this song is about. It’s about those who have wronged you, taken advantage of you, hurt you. Let the feeling fester and consume you."

The production for "Roach" was steered by heavy-hitting producer Paul Meany (Twenty One Pilots, Pierce the Veil), mixed by Adam Hawkins (Turnstile, Yungblud), and tracked locally in Los Angeles at Valley View Studios and The Park. The single follows hot on the heels of early last month's "Sinner Systems"—the group's first taste of new music since their 2024 full-length album FISSION—which held a mirror up to modern excess and emotional numbness using distinct, heavy, detuned fretless grooves.

Do you think "Roach" captures that same raw, brooding energy that made FISSION such a standout record?

Following a wave of recent live and social media teasing, Bring Me The Horizon have officially unleashed a heavy, deathcore-inspired new single titled "Dehumanized." An official music video for the aggressive track premiered this morning, June 25th. The brutal new cut serves as a previously unannounced bonus track that will accompany the band's forthcoming, fully re-recorded version of their 2006 debut album.

After decades of public dissatisfaction with the original production of their debut record, the band has utilized its upcoming 20th anniversary as an opportunity to head back into the studio and completely re-track the material from top to bottom. The overhauled anniversary edition has been officially titled Count Your Blessings – Repented and is scheduled to drop on July 10th.

To celebrate the release, the band will perform a handful of special 20th-anniversary live shows where they will play the album in its entirety. The select performance schedule includes:

07/10 — Manchester, UK @ B.E.C. Arena (feat. Static Dress, Dying Wish, Heriot, Rolo Tomassi, Car Underwater, Still In Love & Showing Teeth)

07/11 — Manchester, UK @ B.E.C. Arena (feat. Static Dress, Dying Wish, Heriot, Rolo Tomassi, Car Underwater, Still In Love & Showing Teeth)

10/11 — Birmingham, AL @ Furnace Festival

Are you hyped to hear Bring Me The Horizon revisit their heavy deathcore era on this re-recorded album?
