When asked about the song, the band shared

Independent active rock band Set It Off has dropped furious new song ‘Pathological’, taken from their upcoming self-titled album. Off the back of US radio success with ‘Punching Bag’, ‘Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing [REBORN]’ and ‘Rotten’ comes ‘Pathological’ - a seething, riff-and-rap-filled retort to those who’ve lied, bluffed and faked their way through life.

Denton, Texas-based indie rock outfit Saint Blonde are back with their electrifying new single “Dirty $$$,” out now via Pale Chord/Rise Records/BMG. The track delivers an upbeat surf-rock swagger, fused with defiant punk energy, driving rhythms, and infectious hooks that showcase the band’s trademark ability to balance raw grit with soaring melodies.

The result is a warm, elegant, and emotionally resonant set of performances that includes renditions of Allen Toussaint’s “It’s Raining” –– whose visualizer is out today (watch here) –– the sentimental standard “Angel Eyes,” and a stunning reinterpretation of “I’ll Be Long Gone,” a fan favorite from Scaggs’ 1969 self-titled debut. The 11-track album moves with quiet confidence through moods of longing, reflection, and grace.

The Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton is back with a thunderous new album “Legends.” “Legends” is an 11-song masterpiece of an album that consists of melodic guitar riffs, choirs that are haunting yet beautiful, epic ballad choruses, and fantastic storytelling through the lyrics. Simply put, this album will make you want to run into battle with Sabaton singing battle hymns, pumping your fist, and screaming your war cry!

On the completely DNA altering evening of Sept 27, 2025, Sleep Token brought their Even in Arcadia tour to Cleveland at Rocket Arena. I was lucky enough to score tickets in the pre-sale that sold out within a day. In fact, the whole tour sold out. I’m an avid concert attender, frequently going for fun and for photos/media, but something was different about scoring these tickets. Something about Sleep Token keeps that spark alive. The anticipation of waiting for the date

The ocean breeze carried the sound of BEL’s ethereal vocals across the boardwalk as the California-born artist made her Oceans Calling debut. With shimmering melodies and emotionally charged lyrics, BEL (Isabel Whelan) brought a wave of sincerity to a lineup packed with powerhouse acts, instantly winning over new fans.

The first day of Oceans Calling always carries a special kind of electricity - the boardwalk humming with music, the scent of sea air mixing with festival food, and the pulse of fans eager for live performances. Izzy Escobar had opened the Sea Bright Stage with a performance that felt both intimate and explosive - her voice rising above the waves and chatter, commanding attention with its strength and soul.

When the unmistakable opening riff of “Teenage Dirtbag” rang out across the Ocean City boardwalk, time stopped. The rain was coming down in sheets, but no one cared - not the teenagers who were once on their parents’ shoulders, not the grown-ups reliving their youth, not the little kids shouting every word as if they’d lived it themselves. It was one of those rare festival moments where generations collide in song, proof that some anthems never fade - they just evolve.

From the moment I heard Jadu Heart's music it tore me up. Shoegaze, experimental, and hypnotic, they've created a soundscape that pulls you into a dissociative and heart clenched portal. Expect to cry; it’s painstakingly beautiful, wrapped in melancholy that feels like longing itself. You’ll listen again and again and again, cry some more, then rinse and repeat.

Progressive rock giants Yes were kind enough to make a stop at Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe, PA this past weekend, which marks the fourth time the group has ever played this particular venue. I was lucky enough to have Tara here at Rock DNA turn my awareness on to this gig, as it was at the Peak where I got my start with both concerts and concert photography alike. Penn’s Peak is a wonderful niche of a place tucked in the woods (a hidden gem, if you will) that has a specific cro

Surrounded by a group of talented musicians, Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton brought his hard rock group Close Enemies formed in 2023 at Foxborough's String Grill & Stage on October 10, 2025. It was an exceptional night of live music.

Growing up, Hadreas was the only out gay person at his school. Brutally bullied, death threats, the administration did nothing. During his last year of High School, he dropped out. It didn't end there, when he was attacked by a group of men. Years later, 2005, Hadreas began to make music for his first album, Learning.

Shoegaze has been having a bit of a moment lately, to put it lightly. The surge of a new generation of music fans with access to the vast majority of recorded music right at their fingertips gave a somewhat forgotten alternative style a breath of new life. While the peaks of the first wave of shoegaze heavyweights like my bloody valentine may be long gone, they certainly aren’t forgotten, with newer bands stepping up to the plate left and right, each of them creating massive

What inspired the creation of this single? While waking up on a quiet winter’s morning, my mind drifted to the people I’ve encountered and the stories they’ve lived. I started thinking about all the unfortunate souls who have lost their lives to substance abuse, and how many more will lose their lives, loved ones, and everything they’ve built.

Infinity Music Hall at Hartford, CT, welcomed on October 4, 2025, Pink Talking Fish, the hybrid tribute band that melds together the sounds of three of the world’s most cherished bands – Pink Floyd, Talking Heads, and Phish. As a photographer I was there with my camera to shoot the concert. It was an excellent show at an absolutely stunning venue in Connecticut. The concert was phenomenal in terms of ambiance and attendance. Hundreds and hundreds of fans were present to list

Nilüfer Yanya is a UK artist whose music takes me back to walking the streets of London in the fall of 2022, PAINLESS pumping through my earbuds. Crisp air and morning mist met by Yanya's deep, soulful voice that falls with ease. Released just months earlier, this album was my entry point to their music: layered with texture and atmosphere that shifts from cinematic melancholy to bittersweet danceability. Multi-tonal, emotive vocals in contrast to gritty guitar riffs, Yanya’s

Indie folk staples The Mountain Goats have rarely been a group to slow down. Throughout their lengthy 34 years as a band, the group has amassed an incredibly supportive fanbase amid an ever changing musical landscape, complete with an ever-evolving discography that never loses the folky magic that makes the band what they are. The trio are currently touring in support of their upcoming record Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan, and they made a stop at the Jersey City
