Puscifer released their fifth album, Normal Isn’t on February 6th, 2026.  Not only are we getting a new album, we’ve got a video for “Bad Wolf” and the film Normal Isn’t: Live at the Pacific Stock Exchange (available February 9th, 2026).  Frontman and vocalist Maynard James Keenan (Tool and A Perfect Circle) with Carina Round (vocals) and bandmates Mat Mitchell (guitars and production), Gunner Olsen (drums), and Josh Moreau (bass) have really created something stunning with this one. 

It’s too bad the weather couldn’t match the heat coming from Stan’s Room at Piere’s Entertainment Center in Fort Wayne, IN on December 19th, 2025. Although it was winter, it might as well have been July.  The “Christmas in July December” show that was originally set for July, happened this night instead.  Cyanide Sayonara, Tearing Down the Masquerade, and Controller packed up the heat of summer and brought it on stage and ignited the place, with no apologies to the winter season. 

Singer-songwriter, Dan Hubbard, from Bloomington, Illinois (folk-rock, southern-rock, pop, americana) released his 10th studio project Vol 1: Letting Go on October 24th, 2025.  This album, he says, has been a creative outlet, branching out from his normal sound.  He set out to not care so much about what anyone thinks (aside from his wife, Kaetlyn).  “I didn’t set out to write a concept album about ‘letting go’, but it just became obvious that’s what this EP is about,” Dan shared with me.
