On June 13, Foo Fighters premiered “Unconditional” for lucky attendees of their Emirates Old Trafford show in Manchester, England. However, the song is, by no means, “new.” In fact, it’s an unreleased demo that was never fully realized. A band representative noted, “The band’s rediscovery of ‘Unconditional’ happened in true spontaneous Foo Fighters fashion. The song came up in conversation during rehearsals for the UK tour, and all it took was one run-through. The decision was made instantly to share it with everyone in the same way — live.” Check out the live performance of “Unconditional” below, courtesy of @foofighterslive… Read more »

Split Chain is back with a new single, “Scatterbrain,” from the upcoming digital deluxe version of motionblur. The deluxe LP is set for arrival on all platforms on September 11 via Epitaph Records. “Like all of our other music, ‘Scatterbrain’ comes from personal experiences growing up that we’re sure everyone can relate with to some degree. It’s a song about the slow degradation of friendships, relationships, and family ties,” the band says. “How all of a sudden, when things can seem to be at their best, the other person in the relationship, friendship or the family member seems to stop pulling their weight. They start to get caught up in their own thing, get… Read more »
Northlane have independently returned with their new single “Evian,” arriving alongside an accompanying video. Frontman Marcus Bridge shares, “‘Evian’ is about self-improvement through confronting trauma then finding your way back to someone from a healthier place.

Evanescence are stepping into a new era with their forthcoming album—and they’re not easing into it. In a new interview with Kerrang!, frontwoman Amy Lee opens up about Sanctuary, set for release June 5, framing it as both a personal and collective response to the current state of the world. While working on Sanctuary, Lee found herself rewriting material as global and political tensions escalated—choosing to channel that energy into the music rather than social media. “I know that music has the power to affect people,” she says, noting that focusing on the record felt like the most meaningful way… Read more »

After revealing “Broken By Design,” “WIRED,” and “The Way I Feel,” Basement dropped “Head Alight” with an accompanying music video. All single releases are set to appear on their upcoming album WIRED, due out May 8, via Run For Cover Records. Vocalist Andrew Fisher shares, “What started out as a love song quickly evolved into something a lot more ethereal. Alex was picking up on what I was saying in a far broader and otherworldly way. He saw it less in a romantic way—a more universal look at the idea of someone’s soul or essence being so powerful and beautiful you can’t look… Read more »
Ahead of the release of their new album, What’s Left Now?, due out on April 24 via Epitaph, Death Lens has just shared their new collab with Militarie Gun, “Waiting To Know.” Frontman Bryan Torres says, “‘Waiting to Know’ sits somewhere between growing older and not knowing if you ever really do. It’s fear and acceptance sharing the same skin, looping the same question until it stops sounding like a question at all. What’s next? My biggest fear: the unknown. It’s about spending your whole life waiting to know, waiting to go, like the answer is always just out of… Read more »
