Genre-bending band NOISEVEIN dropped “WATER” today, August 7th, the latest single from their upcoming debut album, PLANEWALKER. The track is an evolving narrative around the protagonist, often referred to as The Planewalker (inspired by the game Dungeons & Dragons), who is struggling with alcohol addiction. Through sonically intensifying instrumentation, NOISEVEIN captures the emotional journey of falling into addiction.

The day before was a long day for me in Pompeii - still one of the greatest adventures and events I've ever attended. I was staying in Naples - not far from Pompeii. After the Pompeii show I got back to the hotel around 12:30 pm, and then I had to get up at 5 am to catch a six-and-a-half-hour train up to Verona and then an hour car drive to my room in Este. A really cool place to stay - it was converted from an old factory building constructed in the 1600s into a smaller b

What inspired the creation of this single? Night Prowler is about police brutality and small-town violence. I was spending a lot of time commuting to and from college when I wrote it. During the autumn, when the sun would set before I drove home, I remember passing all these police cars lurking among the trees. I couldn't shake the feeling that they were like vampires or predators waiting for a moment to pounce.

What first got you into music? People often expect a simple answer to this question. Usually, it's something about hearing a record, picking up a guitar for the first time, or dreaming of standing on a stage. Those are beautiful stories, but they are not ours. Music didn't enter our lives as an ambition. It entered as a language. Like many musicians, each of us has travelled a different artistic path over the years.

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? 30 years of life. I started writing songs back in the late 90s, but had to put those dreams away because of career, family, etc. In the past several years I've picked it back up and I'm finally recording and releasing my first album fulfilling a lifelong dream.

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? This collection of songs, written over the past couple of years, represents a bit of every genre we draw from. We chose the various tracks to reflect this diversity. Were there any particular events or emotions that shaped the songwriting? The songwriting as a whole has been shaped throughout our lives drawing from personal stories and events, “the trad tune” was inspired by a time in my life where I found myself

What inspired the theme or concept behind this album? There were quite a few conversations with friends ranging in different topics, but childhood trauma is one we kept coming back to. I realized when I went to go write for the album, I wanted a different song to relate to things we might've experienced growing up.

As a longtime rock-and-roll fan and live music photographer, I have photographed Dawes many times. However, this was my first time photographing lead singer Taylor Goldsmith and his brother, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, performing together as a duo. That opportunity came on July 30, 2026, at the Groton Hill Music Center in Groton, Massachusetts, a beautiful venue with incredible acoustics.

Just to stand there and think about all the people who had been in that venue in ancient days were truly mind-blowing. Savatage – while not nearly so ancient – have a storied history of their own. I've been a fan of the band since the very beginning, from my tape-trading days when I first discovered them to buying the Sirens album on its release date in 1983. During the 80s, I saw the band four times and photographed them twice in 1990 but I haven't seen them since.

On July 25, 2026, Ragged Mountain Resort in Danbury, New Hampshire, welcomed the Kinfolk Music & Arts Festival. Designed as a community-focused gathering in the mountains, the festival was about more than just music. It was a celebration of community, family, creativity, and the arts. The festival emphasized a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with interactive activities, artisan booths, arts and crafts vendors, and more.

DROWN IN SULPHUR are the latest addition to the German Metal Record Label and proudly present new music with a fresh band line-up. After they dropped a bomb with the first output "New Moon Rising On Florence" in June, the brand-new single cements even clearer where the band is heading towards with their revamped sound. Be prepared since the upcoming digital EP Strix is blending the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era deathcore with grim black metal influences, marking a deliberate

The Plain White T’s released "Hey There Delilah" on May 9, 2006, and 21 years later, it hasn't just endured; it has become one of the most timeless love songs of the 2000s. The track has now surpassed 2.5 billion streams, was a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, and earned two Grammy nominations, but its real story is longevity: A stripped-down, simple but powerful, pre-social media love song that continues to connect across generations.

The doors opened at 7:00 p.m. Rapidly, the seats at the theatre were filled up. The crowd was very excited to enter this historic venue with fantastic lights and sound and went crazy when the band entered the stage. The performance featured tracks from their albums and a mix of original songs and classic tracks from the Allman Brothers Band.

Yungblud is back, and Indianapolis was there for it. Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park in Indianapolis on July 28, 2026, was a sold-out show. This was a reschedule date, but it was definitely worth all of the anticipation. Good things come to those who wait. After taking some time off and skipping a festival to take a break to focus on loved ones and for his mental health, he’s back and phenomenal as expected. You can’t even be mad about it.

Growing up in the Philippines, The Fray and Dashboard Confessional were two of the bands that defined my high school years. Their songs constantly played on the radio and became part of some of my favorite memories. Never did I imagine that one day I'd be standing in the photo pit, capturing the very artists whose music I grew up listening to.

Some concerts are just another night out. Others feel like a full-circle moment. Flyleaf’s sold-out stop at The Fillmore Minneapolis on July 19 was undoubtedly the latter. The 20 Year Anniversary Tour marks Flyleaf’s first official tour with original vocalist Lacey Sturm since her departure from the band in 2012. While the reunited lineup has appeared at various festivals over the years, this tour gives fans the chance to experience the band in a full headlining setting on

There’s a lot that can be said about a band that’s been around for two decades. Motionless In White has been called many things over the years: some good, some bad, some ugly. But there’s one thing they can’t be called and that’s stagnant. The Scranton, PA metalcore group released their highly anticipated seventh studio album, aptly titled Decades, in celebration of the band’s 20 year anniversary.

The Summer School Tour proved exactly why it's becoming a must-see summer event. With every band bringing their own personality and style to the stage, the night never felt repetitive. From discovering a new favorite in Lake Drive to witnessing the chaos of Winona Fighter and celebrating Honey Revenge's well-earned success, Minneapolis was treated to one heck of a show. When the final bell rang, fans left with sore feet, ringing ears, sweat- soaked shirts, and a few new favor

MASS MoCA was the perfect backdrop for Dacus’s thoughtful songwriting and understated stage presence. Set within the sprawling campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, a former 19th-century textile and electronics manufacturing complex transformed into one of the country’s premier contemporary arts centers, the venue’s industrial brick buildings and open-air Courtyard D created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and expansive.
