Teaze .

The post Teaze to release new studio album ‘Rev Your Engines’ 50 years after their debut record first appeared on Sleaze Roxx.

It’s been almost two years since Justin Timberlake was arrested for a DWI in the Hamptons and we got the infamous quote, “This is gonna ruin the tour.” It did not ruin the tour and the charge ended up being dropped in a plea deal, which included a fine of $500 and 25 hours of community service. Now, the bodycam footage has been released despite the pop star’s attempts to block it.

Darkthrone are back. The Norwegian black metal institution has confirmed Pre-Historic Metal as the title of their new studio album, set for release on 05/08 via Peaceville Records.

The announcement lands hot on the heels of The Fist In The Face Of God, the recently issued box set revisiting the band’s foundational black metal years. Now Fenriz and Nocturno Culto — currently marking 40 years since their earliest formation as Black Death — are ready to drag something new out of the primordial dark.

The title track video, directed by Matthew Vickerstaff, can be seen below.

Fenriz isn’t overthinking the title. “Prehistoric is a loose term,” he says. “I just figure it’s our vibe, our take on things, and it’s more of a statement that we use old style to create something new.”

Picking up where 2024’s It Beckons Us All left off, Pre-Historic Metal is built on primal riffs and a sound rooted firmly in the spirit of the ’70s and ’80s. The record charts a course through thrash, black, heavy, and doom metal, with Darkthrone reportedly leaning harder into the writing instincts of their late-’80s output — but with the craft sharpened rather than softened.

Fenriz lays it out plainly: “It means that we are metal. With very loud guitars. ‘Frightfully barbaric but not without finesse’, I call it. We collaborated in the studio more than ever, who’s playing what is still in a purple haze, but last but not least, it was a sort of hardening of the arteries — we decided to tighten the tourniquet and do eight effective songs brimming with riffs instead of the airy plodding we so much enjoy usually.”

The album was recorded at Chaka Khan Studios in Oslo, with production handled by Ole Øvstedal, Silje Høgevold, and Mads Luis. Mastering duties went to Jack Control at Enormous Door and Maor Appelbaum Mastering.

Hey everyone – we’ve got a new EP review for you, and I’m glad this one landed on our radar. It’s a fun listen and a strong step forward for the band.

Seattle‑based alt/garage rock band, Sun Spots, released their new EP, Dog Is Calling, on Friday, March 13th, 2026 under Den Tapes. The EP follows their 2022 release of Loosey as well as shows along the West Coast where they shared stages with Enumclaw, GUV, TV Star, and Supercrush.

A defining element of Sun Spots’ sound is the way they balance light pop melodies with the heavier weight and grit of classic grunge guitar. Dog Is Calling leans into that contrast even more. Across four tracks (most coming in at just under three minutes), the band pairs raw, emotive, but soothing vocals with distorted guitar tones that feel both nostalgic and refreshing.

Compared to their earlier material, this EP is their most polished and catchy work yet – still grungy, still dynamic, but more refined in its songwriting. They keep the tempo shifts and energy swings that make their music engaging.

Most importantly, the EP moves you. Good music should take you somewhere, and this one does just that – its warm, familiar elements give you that déjà‑vu head-bobbing feeling from the first listen.

Track‑by‑Track

“Jesus Muffler”

A clear nod to ’90s grunge in both vocals and tempo, but with a poppier sensibility than their earlier releases. A strong opener that sets the tone for the EP.

“Rocket”

Kicks off with a great little hook and guitar effects that feel new for the band. The track shifts from light to heavy and back again with ease. This one stands out – easily my favorite Sun Spots song to date.

“Could’ve Been”

Starts off faster than we’ve heard from them before, pushing into a more urgent sense in the intro while keeping their melodic core intact. It’s a great song.

“Dog Is Calling”

The title track is complete and perhaps the most bittersweet sound on the EP – you can really picture yourself hearing this track on the score of a late ’90s movie like She’s All That. It’s a fitting ending that ties the whole project together.

As mentioned, Dog Is Calling dropped Friday the 13th. Check out Den Tapes for more info!
