  • Get your grunge on this weekend with 25% off Nixon’s eye-popping Nirvana watches – but be quick

    Nixon watches have a long history of collaborations with music artists, including past partnerships with Metallica, the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones. Sadly, all those watch designs have long since sold out – but one that’s still going strong is the American brand’s Nirvana watch range.

    Launched in 2024, only four designs still remain available – but the good news is that all of them currently have a 25% discount through August 18 and are part of a site-wide sale celebrating the Nixon’s 28th birthday.

    The Nirvana Sentry Wobble in either the Yellow Smiley colour scheme or its Matte Super Black/Blue counterpart are both down from $/£375 to $/£281.25. The next Nirvana watch on sale is the Sentry Leather version in its starburst Unplug Fade design is even cheaper – down from $/£225 to $/£168.75.

    Finally, and in the US only, the Black and yellow Nirvana Time Teller is down from $175 to just $131.25.

    Nixon Watches: 25% off site wide sale
    American watch and accessories brand Nixon are holding a four-day sale to celebrate their 28th birthday. There’s 25% off right across the site, and that includes chunky savings on the reamining line of Nirvana watches. The sale runs between August 14-18 – so get in quick!View Deal

    The Nirvana Sentry Wobble is my favourite design, with Kurt Cobain’s famous smiley face design front and centre. But the most eye-catching detail is that the watch face has been contorted and squeezed to give it its “wobble” look. In addition, the watch has a 50m waterproof rating and it’s available in two distinctive colour combinations.

    The Nirvana Sentry Leather has a sunburst colour design on the face which Nixon call Unplug Fade. Rather than numbers around the circumference, the watch face has letters spelling the band’s name. The watch strap takes its inspiration from Nirvana’s “sweater selections” with the result a “cushy leather band.”

    As for the US-only Nirvana Time Teller, it features the smiley face logo in the centre of the watch in black, with the numbers displayed in vibrant yellow.

    The Nixon site-wide sale runs August 14-18, so get in quick before the deal door slams shut.

  • Wage War Share Blistering New Single ‘SWEET DREAMS’

    Wage War are back with a blistering new single, drawing inspiration from every chapter of their journey so far.


    The track is called ‘SWEET DREAMS’, and it’s got something for every type of Wage War fan to latch onto. Surging with anger and dealing out some bone-crushing breakdowns and throat-shredding ‘blegh’s, it’s sure to get you pumped for whatever comes next.

    Speaking about the track, the band have explained:

    “‘Sweet Dreams is a song about being deceived by the world around you. About safety in a sense of blissful ignorance. Sonically, it draws inspiration from all of our previous work over the last 10 years.”

    Take a listen.

  • Movements Unleash Frantic Single ‘Live By The Sword’

    Movements have given us another taste of their fourth full-length album ‘Happier Now’, and it’s the perfect reminder of just what makes their band so special.

    With ‘Happier Now’ set to be released on September 04 via Fearless Records, the band’s latest single is titled ‘Live By The Sword’.

    A track that keeps you guessing and will inevitably end up stuck in your brain from the second you hit play, it’s got a little bit of everything that makes Movements the powerhouse force they are. With a gradually building tension pushed forward by hushed vocal chants and propulsive guitar lines, it’s another reminder that we’re in for something very, very special with this album.

    Take a listen below.

    On the process of creating the band’s latest album, vocalist Patrick Miranda has shared:

    “I think at first we weren’t really sure what the record was going to be… We all had a general idea: We wanted it to bring in the early elements of our sound and blend it with the newer material like RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds.”

    Take a look at the artwork and full tracklisting for ‘Happier Now’ below.

    “Pulse”
    “Dissolve Me”
    “Everything Is Fine”
    “Happier Now”
    “Flowerbed”
    “Back in My Ways”
    “Spellbound”
    “Ill at Ease”
    “Live by the Sword”
    “Everyone I’ve Ever Been”
    “Fragile Hands”
    “Separate”

  • Warren Haynes reveals “Thorazine Shuffle (Live)” from symphonic album

    Warren Haynes has released “Thorazine Shuffle (Live),” the latest preview of his upcoming album, Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey, due September 18 via Evil Teen Records in the U.S. and Provogue/Artone Label Group in Europe.

    The new version of the Gov’t Mule song, originally released on the band’s 1998 album Dose, features an orchestral arrangement by John Medeski.

    “John Medeski did the arrangement for ‘Thorazine Shuffle,’ and his unique take on music in general was what led me to ask him to arrange that particular piece,” shares Haynes. “He was able to strike a balance for ‘Thorazine Shuffle’ that takes it a little further avant-garde than most of the songs but still has that beautiful symphonic quality as far as the arrangement is concerned that really transports it into another place. His counter-melodies and all the different textures that he put in that song elevated it in a way that I wasn’t expecting. It’s probably the most unique arrangement on the record.”

    Dreams & Songs: A Symphonic Journey was co-produced by Haynes and Don Was and recorded in 2019 at Thomas Wolfe Auditorium in Haynes’ hometown of Asheville, North Carolina. The performance marked the debut of Haynes’ Dreams & Songs symphonic show and featured the 64-piece Asheville Symphony Orchestra.

    Haynes was joined by Oteil Burbridge on bass, John Medeski on organ and keyboards, Jeff Sipe on drums and Greg Osby on saxophone, with Edwin McCain and Jasmine Muhammad providing background vocals.

    The 16-track live album was mixed by Bob Clearmountain and features material spanning more than three decades of Haynes’ career. The collection draws from his work with Gov’t Mule, the Allman Brothers Band, The Dead and his solo catalog, with the songs reworked through orchestral arrangements.

    The album also includes a performance of the Grateful Dead’s “Shakedown Street” along with Gov’t Mule songs “Banks of the Deep End” and “Raven Black Night.”

    Haynes first presented the Dreams & Songs Symphonic Experience in Asheville in 2019. The show has since been staged at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and in cities including New Orleans, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland and Cincinnati.

    The Warren Haynes Dreams & Songs Symphonic Experience will return for two performances at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center on March 11 and March 12, 2027.

    Haynes is currently on the road with Gov’t Mule for the band’s Kicking In Your Stall Tour, which runs through August 23 and includes nine co-headlining shows with Joe Bonamassa.

    Gov’t Mule will then join Ziggy Marley for the Dreaming The Same Dream Tour this fall. The 16-date co-headlining run, which also features a guest DJ set from YOLA, begins September 23 at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City and concludes October 17 in Dallas.
