  • Usher Defends Diddy, Denies Beef With Justin Bieber

    Last year, Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison for two counts interstate transportation related to prostitution. After an extremely publicized sex-trafficking trial, a jury found Combs not guilty of the most serious charges against him, and he’s now trying to appeal his current sentence. Whether or not they were proven in court, the many allegations against Combs paint an extremely troubling picture. So it’s notable when a superstar on the level of Usher goes out of his way to defend the man.

  • Upon A Burning Body’s 2026 Tour Is Built For Chaos—And These Rooms Won’t Hold Everyone

    upon-a-burning-body-2026

    When Is Upon A Burning Body Touring The U.S. In 2026?

    They’ll be on the road from June 4 through June 20 across the U.S., hitting smaller, high-impact venues.

    TL;DR

    Upon A Burning Body are taking a June 2026 U.S. headlining run through tightly packed venues with Traitors, Carcosa, and Swollen Teeth. Tickets go on sale March 27, and this setup leans heavily into intensity over scale.

    Dates First—Because That’s What You Came For

    June 04 – Pensacola, FL – The Handlebar
    June 05 – Jacksonville, FL – Albatross
    June 06 – Atlanta, GA – Hell at The Masquerade
    June 07 – Charleston, SC – Music Farm
    June 09 – Asheville, NC – Eulogy
    June 10 – Greensboro, NC – Hangar 1819
    June 11 – Richmond, VA – The Broadberry
    June 12 – Huntington, WV – The Loud
    June 14 – Millersville, PA – Phantom Power
    June 16 – Pittsburgh, PA – Preserving
    June 17 – Detroit, MI – Sanctuary
    June 18 – Columbus, OH – The King Of Clubs
    June 19 – Louisville, KY – Headliners Music Hall
    June 20 – Nashville, TN – The Mil At Cannery Hall

    If you’re planning to catch one of these, tickets are already moving through secondary listings here.

    This Isn’t A Victory Lap Tour—It’s Pressure In Small Rooms

    There’s a very deliberate choice here.

    Instead of stretching this into larger venues, they’ve leaned into tighter spaces where everything feels louder, closer, and less controlled. That changes how these shows play out. You don’t get distance from the stage. You don’t get a breather between bands.

    Traitors bring weight. Carcosa bring precision. Swollen Teeth bring unpredictability. Stack those together in rooms that weren’t built for comfort, and the tone of the night is already set before Upon A Burning Body even walk out.

    Loaded Radio Recommends – The 13 Metalcore Albums That Defined The Genre (And Still Haven’t Been Topped)

    Blood Of The Bull Still Has Teeth Live

    This tour lands in that window where new material still feels volatile onstage.

    Blood Of The Bull hasn’t settled yet. The songs are still being pushed, adjusted, tested in front of crowds that are hearing them live for the first time. That tends to produce a different kind of set—less polished, more aggressive.

    That works in their favor.

    Some Cities Will Break Faster Than Others

    There’s always a pattern with runs like this, even if it doesn’t look obvious on paper.

    Atlanta, Detroit, Nashville—those are the ones that tend to tighten up quickly. But smaller markets can flip just as fast when the room size is limited and the lineup hits the right crowd.

    Waiting usually means fewer options, not better ones.

    FAQ

    When do tickets go on sale?

    March 27 at 10 a.m. local time.

    Who’s on this tour?

    Traitors, Carcosa, and Swollen Teeth are supporting the full run.

    What album are they touring behind?

    Blood Of The Bull, released December 2025.

    Are these big venues?

    No—this is a club-level run built around smaller, more intense spaces.

    Is this a full U.S. tour?

    It’s a focused regional run covering the Southeast and parts of the Midwest.

    Upon A Burning Body Bio

    Formed in San Antonio, Texas in 2005, Upon A Burning Body carved out a lane by blending groove-driven metalcore with heavier death metal influences and a distinctly rhythmic, breakdown-focused approach. Their rise accelerated with a Billboard 200 breakthrough in 2014, and they’ve maintained a reputation for physically intense live shows ever since.

    Rooted in a strong Texas identity, the band has continued evolving without abandoning the core sound that built their following. Their latest release, Blood Of The Bull, dropped in December 2025 and feeds directly into this current tour cycle.

  • 10 Songs That Introduce Elton John Beyond The Hits

    For those of us who grew up in the 1970s, whether you were in middle school, high school, or even college, most of us were huge Elton John fans. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but just about all my friends and everyone I knew loved Elton John. There really was no bigger artist in the 1970s than Elton John, with maybe the exception of Paul McCartney. I only say this because those of us who lived through that time know Elton John’s music inside and out. We lived that music; we bought every album that came out,
