Midnight Til Morning Close U.S. Tour with Stunning SF Finale

November 17, 2025

Last night, San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom was transformed into a place of pure musical electricity as Midnight Til Morning delivered a breathtaking, stellar performance. The group born from the Netflix series Building the Band, has a uniquely modern origin story: musicians forming a band without ever seeing one another, focusing entirely on chemistry, creativity, and instinct rather than appearances. What emerged from that experiment was a remarkably cohesive and charismatic Australian/American boy band featuring Shane Appell, Zach Newbould, Conor Smith and Mason Watts, a group whose artistry has expanded far beyond what viewers witnessed on the show. Opening the night was an unforgettable set by Adrian Lyles, whose passionate performance immediately won over the crowd. His presence was magnetic, his vocals smooth, and his connection with the audience undeniable, earning him cheers from both longtime supporters and brand-new fans swept up in the moment. When Midnight Til Morning finally took the stage, the venue erupted. The set began with audio clips of the members reflecting on their love of music and the journey that brought [Read More]

September 16, 2025

One of our favorite artists, Des Rocs has just released a new song, This Land. The song is featured on the opening sequence of the Borderlands 4 game which is available worldwide. Buy/stream “This Land” HERE You can watch it here: Des Rocs shares, “I’ll never forget the first call when they told me what they were looking for in a song for Borderlands 4,” says Des. “I couldn’t stop grinning. They were describing exactly where my heart lies. Rock n’ roll that’s loud, raw, unfiltered, built for a foreign landscape. This song has that unhinged wild energy, the one I felt when I first picked up a guitar. It’s real and it’s rowdy, just like the music I worshipped growing up.” Borderlands is one of the best-selling and most beloved video game franchises of all time. For the fourth installment, Des Rocs brings the raw energy and grit he’s known for, taking the helm for the main theme song, and following in the footsteps of Cage the Elephant and The Heavy, who set the tone for previous games.

The Last Dinner Party announce new album and release new single

July 17, 2025

One of our absolute favorite bands, The Last Dinner Party have just announced the news for their second album. Their second album FROM THE PYRE is set to release on October 17th via Island Records. In addition to announcing the album news, they have released a new single, “This Is The Killer Speaking”. The band share about their new album: “This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light. “The songs are character driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the apocalypse. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss the way our experiences felt, giving each the [Read More]

Ice Nine Kills unleash new single/video for The Great Unknown

July 9, 2025

Today, RIAA Gold-Certified horror metal madmen Ice Nine Kills unleash “The Great Unknown”, a hard-hitting, high-concept single and video sees the band stepping into the glitching heart of dystopian sci-fi inspired by The Matrix. Watch the official music video for “The Great Unknown” “The Great Unknown” pairs cinematic worship with melodic grandeur, pushing Ice Nine Kills’ signature sound into uncharted territory while retaining the polish, precision, and razor-wire wit that have defined the INKverse to date. The official music video drops the viewer into a parallel simulation—an adrenaline-fueled, bullet-time mindwarp where perception is fragile, control is an illusion, and nothing is quite what it seems. Will you wake up, press play and follow the white rabbit into The Great Unknown or choose the blissful ignorance of The Matrix? Red pill or blue pill. The choice is yours! The release of “The Great Unknown” follows weeks of escalating online speculation surrounding frontman Spencer Charnas’ increasingly cryptic and eerily odd behavior. What began as an unforced marketing misfire quickly snowballed into full-blown internet hysteria, as fans, critics, and commentators dissected increasingly [Read More]

Finn Wolfhard releases debut solo album, Happy Birthday and check out the new single!

June 6, 2025

We are excited to announce the release of Finn Wolfhard’s highly anticipated debut solo album, Happy Birthday. This album brings Finn’s songwriting in the spotlight as he is the solo writer and performer. Finn comments on the album: “If I were to walk away and listen to it in 10 years, I think it would feel like the beginning of a specific style and voice,” he says. “It can be interesting being a younger person in any kind of industry, because even though I’ve been acting for a long time, I’m still only 22, and things start to take shape at different times in your life. I hope that when I look back on this record, I’ll be proud of the melodies and the songwriting. I want to be accepting of myself at that time. It was okay that I felt like that and made a record about it and then moved on to new experiences.” The nine-track album, a vibrant and emotionally charged collection, originated from a personal challenge Wolfhard set for [Read More]
