BUSH are hitting the road again. The multi-platinum rock veterans have announced the Land of Milk and Honey Tour, a spring 2026 North American run supporting their latest album, I Beat Loneliness. The tour kicks off April 7 in Pittsburgh and stretches through mid-May, with stops at major markets, amphitheaters, and festival stages — including a high-profile appearance at Stagecoach on April 25 and Sonic Temple Festival in May.
The run takes its name from “The Land of Milk and Honey,” BUSH’s eighth No. 1 single on U.S. Active Rock Radio, and continues the momentum behind I Beat Loneliness, a record that balances post-grunge heft with a reflective, hard-won emotional core. Critics have praised the band’s renewed urgency, with Stereogum noting that Gavin Rossdale’s “dramatic, impassioned delivery” turns even the most ambiguous lines into arena-ready rallying cries, while AllMusic summed it up simply: “This is what real live rock sounds like.”
Joining BUSH on the road are Mammoth and UK rock outfit James and the Cold Gun, setting the stage for a tour that leans into volume, catharsis, and the kind of communal release the band has been delivering for more than three decades. Presales begin on January 12 (sign up for those right here), with general tickets going on sale January 16. If recent live reviews are any indication, BUSH aren’t just revisiting their legacy — they’re amplifying it.

Stephen Sanchez is ushering in 2026 with a soft-focus ode to devotion. The multi-platinum singer-songwriter has released a new single, “Sweet Love,” alongside a tender, home-movie-style video directed by Jason Lester (Hozier, Laufey, Conan Gray) that stars Sanchez’s grandparents and was filmed inside their home — the same place where he first fell in love with music while flipping through his grandfather’s record collection.
Built on buoyant production and Sanchez’s signature romantic croon, “Sweet Love” opens a new chapter centered on the full spectrum of love — its warmth, its complications, and the daily choice it requires. “It really encapsulates the beautiful parts of love, and the active choice we have to make, to love one another every day,” Sanchez said of the track, adding that his grandparents’ relationship directly inspired the song. “It was so special to have them star in the video.”
Sanchez previewed the single last night at an intimate, sold-out pop-up show at Nashville’s The Basement East, where he mixed fan favorites with unreleased material. “Sweet Love” marks his first solo release since 2023’s Angel Face, the debut album that earned praise from NPR, SPIN, V Magazine, FLOOD, and American Songwriter. If this release is any indication, Sanchez’s long-teased next era is officially underway — and shaping up to be his most heartfelt yet. Stream “Sweet Love” here.
In recent days, cryptic social media posts have flooded Morrissey’s feed. Today’s date, lyrics, and even a 30-second snippet of a song led up to today’s reveal. Now, Morrissey’s 14th solo album, Make-Up Is A Lie, has been officially announced for release on March 6, 2026, as he returns to Sire/Warner Records. The album is the first in over five years and is filled with provocative lyrics, unique instrumentation, and Morrissey’s instantly recognizable artistic expression.
The title track, co-written by Morrissey and keyboardist Camila Grey, has been unveiled alongside today’s announcement. It follows the story of a woman attempting to send a message that spans over a decade, even after her death. The song’s mysterious atmosphere, unique soundscapes, and narrative create an engaging piece and a perfect introduction to the upcoming album.
Morrissey reunited with Joe Chiccarelli to produce the single and album. Aside from producing multiple singles and a studio album for Morrissey, Chiccarelli is also known for his work with The Strokes, The White Stripes, Weezer, My Morning Jacket, and Alanis Morissette. True to the song’s French location, it was recorded at Studio La Fabrique in the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence region of Southern France.

Familiar faces, including Jesse Tobias, Camila Grey, Carmen Vandenberg, Juan Galeano, Alain Whyte, Gustavo Manzur, and Brendan Buckley, appear on the album. The track list includes some previously mentioned songs, brand-new titles, and a cover of Roxy Music’s 1973 deep cut “Amazona.”
Make-Up Is A Lie will be available on vinyl, CD, and digital through all DSPs. The vinyl album variants include a blue vinyl and a unique Zoetrope picture disc. A red vinyl will be exclusively available through indie retail stores.
The news arrived amidst Morrissey’s world tour, which has already ventured through the United States, Canada, and Europe. The next leg of the tour begins tomorrow (January 10) in San Antonio, Texas, then will travel throughout North America, Europe, and the UK. Tour dates are available below.

Zach Bryan has returned with his most ambitious project yet. The acclaimed singer-songwriter has just released his sixth studio album, With Heaven On Top, via Warner Records — a sprawling 25-track collection written, recorded, and produced by Bryan over the past several months in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Fans can stream the full album now, with vinyl and CD editions coming soon. Pre-order those editions here.
The album follows Bryan’s signature blend of raw storytelling and cinematic Americana, offering an expansive journey through heartbreak, hope, and reflection across tracks like “Appetite,” “Say Why,” “Santa Fe,” “Slicked Back,” and many other standouts.
To support the release, Bryan and his band will embark on the With Heaven On Tour 2026, kicking off March 7 in St. Louis and spanning the U.S. and Europe, with stops in Berlin, London, and Dublin before wrapping stateside in Foxboro in October. Tickets are already on sale here.
On a fun note, Zach was quick to note on his Instagram that some people have been critical of his records in the past being “overproduced” and “shitty,” so he sat down in his room by himself to record all 25 of the songs acoustically. The acoustic version will be out three days from now, warts and all. Love it.
With With Heaven On Top, Bryan cements his status as one of modern country and Americana’s most compelling voices, proving once again that he’s unafraid to dream big and deliver even bigger. Stream the album’s spoken intro, “Down, Down, Stream,” below alongside one of our favorites, “All Good Things Pass.
Yungblud has teamed up with rock legends The Smashing Pumpkins on a reimagined version of his GRAMMY®-nominated hit “Zombie,” marking the first time the iconic band has featured on another artist’s recording. Produced by Billy Corgan and Matt Schwartz, the collaboration fuses Yungblud’s raw modern energy with the Pumpkins’ signature guitar textures, creating a heavier, more urgent take on the already fan-beloved track. The official music video, directed by Charlie Sarsfield, premiered today.
The partnership traces back to last July, when Yungblud and Corgan crossed paths at Black Sabbath’s farewell concert in Birmingham. Corgan, who first discovered Yungblud years earlier, praised his talent and trajectory, calling him “a star for the next 50 years.” The meeting ultimately led to the collaboration, with Yungblud describing the experience as “one of the greatest honors” of his career.
“Zombie” originally appeared on Yungblud’s GRAMMY®-nominated album IDOLS, which has solidified him as one of modern rock’s defining voices. With billions of global streams, sold-out tours, and multiple GRAMMY® nods across all major rock categories, Yungblud continues to bridge generational gaps in the genre. The reimagined track arrives ahead of his sold-out North American tour, which kicks off May 1, 2026, and includes arena dates spanning the U.S. and Canada.
With this landmark collaboration, Yungblud not only honors his influences but cements his place in rock’s evolving legacy, proving that the next generation can carry forward the torch while making it entirely their own.
Machine Gun Kelly is digging back into his emotional archives. The Grammy-nominated artist has released “times of my life,” a fan-favorite track years in the making, alongside an accompanying video, offering a reflective look at lost love and the long shadow of past relationships.
Recorded with Travis Barker and the core collaborators behind August’s lost americana, the song traces its origins to early sessions for 2020’s Tickets to My Downfall, resurfacing now as a fully realized entry in mgk’s evolving pop-punk and emo-adjacent catalog. Built around acoustic and electric guitars, cello, piano, and bass, “times of my life” centers on a stark refrain — “The best times of my life, were the ones that had you” — that underscores its bittersweet tone.
The release arrives as mgk continues riding the momentum of lost americana, which marked his third consecutive Number One on Billboard’s Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. His sprawling Lost Americana Tour is set to stretch well into 2026, resuming February 15 in Bologna before returning to North America in May and wrapping July 1 in Washington state.
Beyond the tour, mgk has spent the past year expanding the album’s universe through high-profile collaborations and alternate versions, including a remix of “cliché” with the Jonas Brothers and a stripped-down “sad version” of the track. With “times of my life,” he adds another chapter to an era defined by nostalgia, vulnerability, and a clear connection to the fans who have been asking for it all along.
Twenty One Pilots are bringing one of the biggest moments of their career to the big screen. Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined, a new concert film capturing the duo’s sold-out Mexico City stadium show from the Clancy World Tour, will hit IMAX and cinemas worldwide for a limited run beginning February 26, with exclusive IMAX previews on February 25.
Released by Trafalgar Releasing, the film documents Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun performing in front of 65,000 fans in one of the most electric cities on the planet. Alongside full-scale performance footage, the film offers behind-the-scenes access that follows the band from their arrival in Mexico City through the build-up to showtime, blending the spectacle of the night with quieter, reflective moments. Joseph and Dun provide personal commentary throughout, tracing the path from their early days to the largest stages of their career.
Directed by longtime collaborator Mark C. Eshleman, More Than We Ever Imagined is designed to place viewers directly inside the experience, using more than 20 cameras positioned onstage, throughout the crowd, and above the stadium. The result is a visceral portrait of a band whose live shows have become as central to their identity as their records.
The film marks Twenty One Pilots’ first concert movie presented in IMAX and their second major cinematic release overall, following years of redefining what a modern arena tour can be. It arrives amid a particularly prolific era for the duo, following the release of their chart-topping album Breach and the completion of their stadium-spanning Clancy Tour: Breach 2025.
Tickets for Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined go on sale January 15 right here.
Olivia Rodrigo is marking a major milestone in her career. Five years after its release, the three-time Grammy winner is celebrating the anniversary of “drivers license,” the breakout single that reshaped pop’s emotional landscape and made her the youngest artist ever to debut at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100.
To commemorate the occasion, Rodrigo has unveiled a special new cover of “drivers license” by David Byrne, the Talking Heads frontman and longtime art-pop icon. Byrne’s version arrives today alongside Rodrigo’s original recording on all streaming platforms, kicking off a broader celebration tied to the fifth anniversary of SOUR, her chart-topping 2021 debut. Additional anniversary covers are expected to roll out in the coming months.
The release is accompanied by a pair of collectible vinyl editions. A limited 7-inch, pressed on translucent ruby vinyl, features Byrne’s “drivers license” cover on Side A and a live recording of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down the House,” captured when Byrne joined Rodrigo onstage at Governors Ball 2025. A Target-exclusive Tiny Vinyl edition, pressed on fruit punch-colored vinyl, pairs the original album version of “drivers license” with a live Governors Ball performance of the song. Order the aforementioned 7″ here, and order the Ruby colored version through Olivia’s site here.
Since its arrival on January 8, 2021, “drivers license” has amassed more than 4.7 billion global streams, earned a six-times Platinum certification, and spent eight consecutive weeks at Number One — then the longest run ever for a solo artist. The song helped propel SOUR to the top of the Billboard 200 and ultimately earned Rodrigo Grammys for Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Pop Solo Performance.
The anniversary arrives as Rodrigo remains firmly entrenched at pop’s center. Her sophomore album GUTS debuted at Number One in 2023, while its supporting world tour spanned five continents and sold out 100 headline shows. For Byrne, the collaboration continues a prolific recent run that includes his 2025 album Who Is the Sky? and a slate of interdisciplinary projects across theater, film, and publishing.
Five years on, “drivers license” remains both a generational touchstone and an unlikely bridge between eras — now refracted through one of pop’s most influential voices. Stream the song via the link.
Following their successful career of 50 million records sold worldwide, a Grammy award (and 12 nominations), and cementing themselves as a thrash legacy, Megadeth announced that their upcoming album will be their final. The band has now unveiled their newest single, “Let There Be Shred!” alongside its music video.

Let There Be Shred!
The single centers around the band’s energetic sound with lyrics such as, “The amps start to roar, a tsunami of sound / Controlling the air, shaking the ground / Guitars are all screaming, they squeal with delight / Clawing fretboards away at the speed of light.” The fast riffs and solos combined with Dave Mustaine’s iconic vocals create the ultimate, authentic thrash single.
“When Megadeth started we said we would be fast and furious…we said so on the flyers we handed out,” Dave Mustaine says. “This song is fast and furious. Know it! It has a very hooky chorus that draws you in and you can’t help but play air guitar and headbang to this one.”
The music video features Mustaine participating in an intense mixed martial arts battle, which is interwoven with clips of the band’s performance. It was directed by Keith Leman, produced by Alethea Leman, and edited by Grant Templeton at Forward Post.
“It’s the second video from the new record that we made with Keith [Leman], who also directed ‘I Don’t Care,’” states Mustaine. “It was a blast to make and it’s a tribute to my first Sensei, Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez and my Professor, Reggie Almieda. Everyone on the set was really stoked to see each of us do our stunts. In the end, we got the balance of shredding and ass kicking just right!”
Final Studio Album & More
The single follows the previously released “Tipping Point” and “I Don’t Care,” alongside the announcement that “Ride The Lightning” will be featured as a bonus track. Mustaine co-wrote the song with James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich, and it became a staple track for Metallica and the title track of their 1984 album.
Megadeth’s final studio album is set to be released January 23, 2026, via Mustaine’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label. The band is keeping busy until then. On the eve of the album’s release, Megadeth: Behind The Mask will premiere worldwide. The film details 40 years of Megadeth’s legacy with untold stories and more. More information is available here!
Aside from the film, the group has announced an exclusive, day-long celebration set for January 17 in La Vergne, Tennessee. “Let There Be Shred: The Ultimate Megadeth Immersive Listening Event” will feature Megadeth hosting a day full of activities and opportunities to get closer to the band. The band’s farewell tour across North America begins with a cross-country run through Canada on February 15 in Victoria, BC.
Sweet Pill has revealed their first offering from their upcoming LP, There’s Still A Glow. Accompanied by a meaningful music video directed by Johnny Komar, their newest single, “No Control,” is an introspective exploration of self-indulgence.
No Control
The single first premiered on Apple Music’s The Zane Lowe Show earlier on the release date. “No Control” is a brutally honest confession and a deep dive into self-control and boundaries.
“This is the first song we completed for Still There’s A Glow. At that time, I was feeling a bit…indulgent. Taking what I want, whenever I wanted it, and disregarding the world all at the same time. I felt like my self worth was cheap, and that I had no boundaries as a healthy person. I quite literally had no self control,” Singer Zayna Youssef continues, “This song is sort of my way to rock bottom. It is my fancy way of calling myself a pushover, unconfident, and ungrateful. I had this ‘grass is always greener’ kind of mentality and wanted more when I already had it and then some.”
The track comes partnered with a cinematic music video, directed by Johnny Komar. Youssef is depicted smoking and drinking at a bar between shots of performing with the band in a small room. Later, her deck of cards is replaced with a fistful of cigarettes while playing a game with her bandmates. Then, upon glancing at the table, all of the cards have been replaced by hundreds of cigarettes. The vices in the video perfectly pair with the lyrics, “Holding onto something gold / But I always want more / Feel it bending in your hands / I’m malleable / No control.”

“No Control” gives a first look at the band’s upcoming Sophomore album, There’s Still A Glow. The album is set to release on March 13, 2026, via Hopeless Records and is currently available for pre-order here!
There’s Still A Glow documents self-reflection and growth with raw lyrical honesty. It was written and recorded during the whirlwind three years following their 2022 debut album, Where the Heart Is. An album’s worth of scrapped demos later, There’s Still A Glow is ready to share its vulnerable, alternative soundscapes with the world.
“I went through some depression last spring, and then I went into therapy. It was also a big turning point in my life as I was about to turn 30, while I’d written our first record when I was graduating from college–that’s a big change,” Youssef explains. “I could’ve kept making bad choices because they’re easy, but I had to come clean to myself. Half the album was written before and the other half after, so the songs are kind of hard on myself but some are also hopeful, with a light at the end of the tunnel. You put out a fire, there’s still an ember that’s still glowing–that’s the record. It’s about being at a low and climbing out of it.”
A Fresh Start
The upcoming album is the close-knit band’s first written fully as a group and with the current lineup. The group wrote through the exhaustion of intense touring, and when it came time for Sweet Pill to record, Youssef was blocked. This is when they decided to start fresh, stepping away from most of the demos and looking inward. This is where There’s Still A Glow truly begins.
“Seeing Zayna change influenced the band–we grew, both as songwriters and as people,” explains guitarist Jayce Williams. Youssef adds, “A lot of the album is about the hurdle of being kind to yourself, making good choices for yourself. This was our first time writing as a band and to an audience, and it’s so honest and vulnerable. I hope it makes people feel like they can be honest with themselves in the same way.”
