Incubus’ Brandon Boyd Releases ‘Dime In My Dryer’ Ahead of New Album

On their roots-nodding 2021 covers album Delta Kream, the Black Keys pretty much forgot the previous decade ever happened and returned to the place they started. Breakthrough records Brothers (2010), El Camino (2011) and the No. 1 Turn Blue (2014) undoubtedly lit a creative spark beyond the appealingly primitive, two-man setup heard on early blues-rock garage LPs like Thickfreakness and Rubber Factory. But revisiting the songs of R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough on Delta Kream must have spurred Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney to go back to their basics for their 11th album.

My Chemical Romance have released their first new music since 2014 with the song "The Foundations of Decay." The track is a reflective song, starting with piano and an electronic backing before starting to pick up as Gerard Way's intensity matches the band upon reaching the song's chorus. Bringing vintage...

Pop star Olivia Rodrigo recently paid a visit to Jack White and his Third Man Records outpost in Nashville. The pair shared photos and a video of the encounter, showing mutual respect. White, the former White Stripes bandleader and solo artist, said the "very cool" Rodrigo is introducing Gen Z to vinyl records.

Though Linkin Park have been largely inactive since 2017 after the death of Chester Bennington (save for promotional efforts of the 20th anniversary of Hybrid Theory), their music is still racking up impressive sales numbers. In fact, the RIAA has just revealed several new multi-platinum and platinum sales certifications for their Minutes to Midnight album and a trio of tracks.

The lineup for the Austin City Limits Music Festival has been revealed and it is jam-packed with sick bands. The festival is taking place over two weekends, Oct. 7-9 and Oct. 14-16 at Zilker Park in downtown Austin, Texas. The festival was inspired by the TV show Austin City Limits...

Derek Scott, brother of the late AC/DC singer Bon Scott, has publicly opened up about his rocker sibling for the first time in a TV documentary in the band's native Australia. He said it's the first and last time he'll grant such an interview. On the Brink, the Bon Scott-focused...

Will Smith commented on Ozzfest in his memoir, Will, published last year, calling it the "least African-American event" outside of Olympic curling. The actor and rapper who infamously slapped comedian Chris Rock onstage at March's 94th Academy Awards has links to Ozzfest through his wife, the actress Jada Pinkett Smith. Her nu-metal band, Wicked Wisdom, took part in Ozzfest 2005.

David Bowie was a hero and legend to many, so those in the music industry who had a chance to have a relationship with the singer cherished the moment. But sadly for Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell, he twice pushed the boundaries of that friendship with technological mishaps. As Farrell revealed to Howard Stern, on two separate occasions, he accidentally provided access to Bowie's personal contact info to random strangers.

Although pop and metal may seem like polar opposites, they honestly have a lot in common. Namely, tons of metal fans and artists enjoy softer styles (and vice versa); thus, even the most unconventionally brutal tastes could go hand in hand with lighter mainstream fare. In the end, a good track is a good track no matter its genre.

Avenged Sevenfold have often been ahead of the times with their approach to getting their music to fans, and while streaming is nothing new for a lot of acts these days, singer M. Shadows bemoaned some of the resistance he's seen from acts in heavier rock and metal toward adopting streaming as a way to connect with their fans.

Last week we asked which of Motley Crue albums is your favorite, and now it's time for another Stadium Tour band — Def Leppard. As they gear up to drop their 12th studio album Diamond Star Halos, we want to know which of their previous releases is the best in this week's Loudwire Nights Album of the Week poll.

The first-ever surround-sound concert on May 12, 1967, was both predictably by space-rock pioneers Pink Floyd and predictably very lo-fi. They'd already set new standards for London's drug-fueled musical "happenings," playing lengthy, sometimes quite odd Syd Barrett originals while projections of rudimentary light displays, weird films and other psychedelic imagery swirled around the venue. "I was always interested in the possibility of rock 'n' roll, how to fill the space between the audience and the idea with more than just guitars and vocals," bassist Roger Waters said in Barry Miles' book Pink Floyd: The Early Years.

Security is a necessary service at concerts, but on occasion the guards can get overzealous and step out of bounds. When this happens, musicians will sometimes stop their performance mid-song or address it at the conclusion of a track and, at a stop in Nashville, Tennessee, Megadeth's Dave Mustaine did just that and scolded a security guard, telling him "cool it" or else.

Skillet this week earned three new platinum and gold sales certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

It's time for our most hotly debated list of the year. Check out these 10 up-and-coming acts and hopefully you'll find at least one new favorite!. In the metal world, few rising bands have captured more attention than Bloodywood. Hailing from India, the band blends traditional Indian music with nu-metal and modern metallic hardcore, but most importantly, Bloodywood brings the fun back to heavy music. A few years removed from their breakout “Machi Bhasad,” new Bloodywood tracks like “Aaj,” “Dana Dan” and “Gaddaar” prove there’s no stopping this new force from the east.

The Black Keys' first album is, literally, a collection of basement tapes. When drummer Pat Carney and guitarist Dan Auerbach set up shop in Carney's basement in the early 2000s with an eight-track tape recorder, two microphones bought off eBay and some other penny-pinching gear, it was not because they were trying to sound hip or cool. There was simply no money to do it any other way. Both men had dropped out of the University of Akron to pursue music which, at the time, seemed an even more promising field of work than whatever else their college degree could have gotten them.

An unauthorized play about Motley Crue helmed by the playwright David Lucarelli moved Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx to issue a terse response and a warning to the band's fans. This week, the musician indicated that ads for Lucarelli's stage production The Crue: Underneath the Dirt Lies the Truth, which...

We all have to start somewhere, but would it surprise you to find out that Metallica's James Hetfield cites both punk and metal icons as the two guitarists that shaped his playing style. In a new video promotion Hetfield's branded Hardwired Master Core strings for Ernie Ball, the Metallica singer...
