In 2023, the singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør, allegedly Norway’s best-kept secret, shared an album with the very funny title Blómi. In the time since its release, Sundfør has given birth to two babies and moved out to the Norwegian countryside. Today, Sundfør announces Revelations Of Divine Love, a new album that she and the British musician Kit Downes recorded using nothing but an old chuch’s pipe organ.

A trailer has landed for Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, a warts-and-all look at the life of drummer, producer and rock fixture Travis Barker. The documentary drops August 13 on Hulu and Disney+ bundle for U.S. subscribers, with a Disney+ release for international viewers.

The film has Barker walking through the 2008 plane crash that claimed the lives of his assistant, Chris “Lil Chris” Baker, his bodyguard, Charles “Che” Still, and both the pilot and co-pilot. Barker and Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein made it out alive but suffered severe burns. Goldstein was found dead in his New York City apartment roughly a year afterward.

Interviews in the trailer include Barker‘s Blink-182 bandmates, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, plus appearances from Mötley Crüe‘s Tommy Lee and the late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins.

Louder Than Fear premiered this past June at the Tribeca Festival, with the screening followed by a live conversation featuring Barker.

The film’s synopsis frames it as the story of a drummer who survived a near-fatal plane crash and came out the other side changed. Before Barker ever sat behind a kit for Blink-182, he was collecting trash in Laguna Beach; stepping in as the band’s replacement drummer set off a rise that would make him one of the most recognizable players of his generation. Underneath that success, the documentary digs into a man wrestling with grief, pain and the fine line between pushing through and giving in, told through the people who know him best.

Louder Than Fear comes from Media Weaver Entertainment, directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, and produced by Matthew Weaver and Nick Stern. Lawrence Vavra and John Janick serve as executive producers.

Barker‘s résumé spans hip hop, alternative rock, pop and country. Beyond his main gig, he’s a member of rap-rock outfit Transplants, co-founded +44, and has played with Box Car Racer, Antemasque and Goldfinger. He handled drums on Avril Lavigne‘s The Best Damn Thing and Love Sux, as well as Machine Gun Kelly‘s Tickets To My Downfall and Mainstream Sellout. His solo record, Give The Drummer Some, shows off range that goes well beyond any single genre or band.

Barker‘s recovery from the 2008 crash was extensive: burns across 65% of his body, 11 weeks in the hospital and close to 30 surgeries. After treatment that included multiple operations and PTSD therapy, he returned to Blink-182. He wrote about the experience in his memoir, Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, And Drums, Drums, Drums.

Outside music, Barker built the clothing brand Famous Stars And Straps and launched two record labels, LaSalle Records and DTA Records, alongside partnerships with DC Shoes and Zildjian on signature gear. He also drummed for Post Malone‘s Nirvana tribute set, staged as a fundraiser for the WHO COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund. Between the technical skill, genre-hopping collaborations and personal comeback story, Barker has carved out a lasting spot in modern rock.

Over the decades, former Fleetwood Mac bandmates Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have shared one of the stormiest relationships in rock ‘n’ roll history. The fallout from their various misadventures was enough to drive an all-time classic album like Rumours, and it didn’t stop there. After a great many breakups and reunions over the years, Fleetwood Mac finally fired Buckingham in 2016. Later on, Nicks said it was her decision. But now, Buckingham and Nicks are apparently quite cordial — according to Buckingham, anyway.

Topeka, a major player in the U.S. destination-vacation music scene, has unveiled fresh additions to this year’s “Rockin’ In Paradise With Styx & Friends” beach weekend, set to return to Miramar Beach, Florida, October 8-10.

New for 2026, the three-day getaway brings in three yacht rock legends: Peter Beckett of Player, Elliot Lurie of Looking Glass and Walter Egan. The trio will team up with Yacht Rock Revue for a one-off collaborative set built around some of the genre’s most beloved songs.

Organizers have also rolled out single-day ticket options, giving fans more flexibility in how they attend.

The lineup once again centers on two full headlining sets from Styx, backed by a stacked bill featuring Tesla, The Marshall Tucker Band, Yacht Rock Revue, Don Felder, Edwin McCain, The Band Feel, 38 Special, Jefferson Starship, The Outlaws, The Velcro Pygmies, Jay Psaros, School Of Rock and exclusive guest segments hosted by rock radio fixture Eddie Trunk.

Friday night’s already-buzzy Yacht Rock Revue headline set just got bigger with three special guests added to the bill:

• Peter Beckett (Player) — the voice behind “Baby Come Back”
• Elliot Lurie (Looking Glass) — known for “Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)”
• Walter Egan — the man behind “Magnet And Steel”

The collaborative performance will run through a batch of classic rock’s most familiar hits in a beachside setting built for the occasion.

New ticket tiers give fans more ways to take in the weekend:

• Day Pass Cove — reserved seated cove, $119 per person, per day
• Grand Lawn Pass — $68 per person, per day, open lawn seating with room to stand, sit or dance; blankets allowed
• Pit Pass — $345 per person, per day for standing-room space right up front

Beyond the two nightly Styx sets, attendees get an exclusive Styx Q&A hosted by Trunk, daytime beach activities and Topeka‘s signature hospitality touches.

The 5,500-capacity venue was built to skip the usual festival headaches, with guests relaxing in their own reserved cove while food, drinks and merch get delivered straight to their seats. Air-conditioned restrooms and easy walks from nearby beach lodging round out the setup.

Full schedule and vacation package details are available here.

Recording new music remains central to the band’s identity, and Styx backs that up with Circling From Above, its 18th studio album, out now via Alpha Dog 2T/UMe. The 13-track record explores the tension between technology and nature through the lens of the human experience. Critics have called it the band’s third straight “masterpiece,” following 2021’s Crash Of The Crown and 2017’s The Mission. All seven current members appear on the record: founding guitarist/vocalist James “JY” Young, guitarist/vocalist Tommy Shaw, original bassist Chuck Panozzo, longtime drummer Todd Sucherman, keyboardist/vocalist Lawrence Gowan, guitarist/vocalist Will Evankovich and bassist Terry Gowan.

All seven members remain committed to bringing their A-game to Paradise and beyond, drawing from five-plus decades of hits, singalongs and deep cuts. A typical Styx set moves through the sweeping ambition of “The Grand Illusion,” the blue-collar grit of “Blue Collar Man,” the devotion of “Lady,” the pointed jab of “Miss America,” the isolation of “Man In The Wilderness,” the searching drive of “Crystal Ball,” the soaring reach of “Come Sail Away” and the rough-and-tumble swagger of “Renegade.”
