Vevo has released Foo Fighters‘ short film as the final installment of its “Extended Play” series, capping off a run built around intimate performances and behind-the-scenes storytelling. The Foo Fighters episode pairs conversation with live cuts of “Child Actor”, “Of All People”, “Caught In The Echo” and “Unconditional”, all pulled from the band’s new record, Your Favorite Toy.

Shot at the band’s 606 Studio in Los Angeles, the film catches the group swapping stories about the music that shaped them, all while putting together a potluck spread. Dave Grohl shows up with fixings for BLTs, keyboardist Rami Jaffee brings his own take on “Los Angeles Kugel,” bassist Nate Mendel handles the salmon, guitarist Chris Shiflett covers green beans, drummer Ilan Rubin shows up with homemade sourdough, and guitarist Pat Smear closes out the meal with ice cream sandwiches.

While they eat, the band digs into how their individual musical backgrounds fed into the Your Favorite Toy sound, a record that mixes the breakneck hardcore tempos some members cut their teeth on with the kind of melodies they grew up loving. “I like the new songs just because they feel comfortable to play,” mused Grohl. Ilan backed him up, adding, “Nothing felt…uncomfortable.”

“Working with Foo Fighters was an incredible experience for our entire team,” said JP Evangelista, EVP of content, programming and marketing at Vevo. “From the moment we started collaborating, it was clear why they’ve stayed at the top of rock for over two decades: the energy, musicianship and passion they bring to every performance is truly unmatched. They were generous collaborators who were deeply invested in getting every detail just right, all while being down-to-earth and fun. Having the opportunity to partner with a band of this caliber who still perform with the hunger of a group just starting out is the kind of moment that reminds us why we do this job.”

Vevo‘s “Extended Play” series is built around connecting artists with fans through curated live sets and personal storytelling shot in locations that matter to them, with each installment shaped by the artist to give an inside look at the creative process behind their latest release.

Vevo has spent more than a decade positioning itself as the world’s top music video network, linking a growing global audience to high-quality video content. Launched by Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment in 2009, Vevo hosts everything from official music videos to live performances and original programming, backing artists across every career stage.

Twenty-five years on from Blink-182‘s Take Off Your Pants And Jacket, one of pop-punk’s most beloved eras is finally getting the collectible treatment it deserves. Encore! Toy Co., a Rockabilia.com offshoot, has unveiled a new officially licensed, limited-edition line of seven-inch vinyl figures modeled after Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker in their instantly recognizable “First Date” personas, marking the milestone anniversary of the band’s 2001 breakthrough.

Pre-orders went live on Thursday, Sept. 24, with the figures slated to ship out in February 2027, giving longtime Blink-182 fans and collectors a shot at owning a physical piece of the Take Off Your Pants And Jacket era.

The sculpts lean hard into the visual details fans will remember: Hoppus‘s unmistakable look, DeLonge‘s signature style and Barker‘s checkerboard motif all get faithful treatment. Together, the three figures package one of pop-punk’s defining chapters into a collectible aimed squarely at fans who lived through it the first time and the newer wave discovering the record now.

Frankie Blydenburgh, co-owner and managing operator of music culture and fan merchandise for Rockabilia.comand Encore! Toy Co., is the one who pushed the project forward. In their own words:

“Blink-182 has been a huge part of my life since I discovered them in ’97, and they were really the catalyst for me getting into punk rock. To now be nearly 30 years into that journey and working alongside the entire Blink team to bring an officially licensed project like this to life is pretty unbelievable.

“The fact that everyone on their side is just as excited as we are to see these figures roll out makes the whole thing even more rewarding. Take Off Your Pants And Jacket was such a defining record for so many fans, and getting to celebrate its 25th anniversary this way is something I’m incredibly proud to be a part of.”

Since dropping in 2001, Take Off Your Pants And Jacket has stood as a cornerstone of the early-2000s pop-punk boom, loaded with staples like “The Rock Show”, “First Date” and “Stay Together For The Kids”. A quarter-century later, its sound and aesthetic still carry serious weight in the genre’s culture, and merch tied to that era continues to move fans in a way few other periods of Blink-182‘s catalog manage.

These vinyl figures amount to more than a standard round of band merch. They’re a snapshot of the moment Blink-182 helped reshape what pop-punk could look and sound like, freezing the classic lineup at one of the band’s most pivotal points. Longtime fans get another piece of the Blink-182 story, collectors get a new centerpiece, and anyone who grew up on Take Off Your Pants And Jacket gets a shot at owning a chunk of an era that clearly never went anywhere.

LISTEN TO “THE SLICK AND THE DEAD” NOW: https://youtu.be/qYHU2wBu2TU

King Buffalo releases Doomsayer, the Rochester-based band’s seventh album, on Dec. 4th, via King Buffalo (North America)/Stickman Records (UK/EU).

A preview of the seven-song album arrives with the release of “The Slick and The Dead” (https://youtu.be/qYHU2wBu2TU?si=gWOE235E68wifbsv).  

“Doomsayer originated in early 2026 out of many hours of jam sessions in our new studio space, playing around and seeing where it took us,” explains guitarist/vocalist Sean Roa, who also produced and mixed the album. “We didn’t really have an end goal in mind of what we were going for. We were simply exploring ideas and seeing what ended up speaking to us the most. So much has happened, both as a band and in our personal lives since our last record, that ended up becoming the inspiration to many of the lyrics on Doomsayer. I think as a result, this is some of our most upfront, direct and riff-driven work to date. We are incredibly proud of it and can’t wait for it to get out into the world.”

Four years on from Regenerator, King Buffalo returns with a record shaped by years of international touring and a deepening confidence in their own sound. Recorded in the new studio the band built themselves, Doomsayer finds the trio continuing to reach into the unknown, while bringing a greater sense of focus and intention to their sound.

The experience they have gained on the road is evident throughout the album, both in the poise of the material and the confidence of their delivery. Like the pandemic trilogy that preceded it, Doomsayer was made at home, but the band’s new surroundings have given them the freedom to continue exploring and finding new ground, with a maturity they have earned one stage at a time.

Album pre-orders begin Friday, Sept. 25 at 12 noon eastern via Kingbuffalo.com. 50 test pressings of the 43-plus minute collection will be available, as well as a Deluxe Edition, limited to 750 copies on translucent emerald vinyl and including a hand-numbered insert, download code and polybag. The standard edition, limited to 1750 copies, arrives on purple opaque vinyl and includes a download code and polybag.

All Shall Perish has released “Led To Slaughter,” the Northern California extreme metal band’s second new single in 15 years, following “Be As Kings, Be As Gods,” which arrived earlier in September. Like its predecessor, “Led To Slaughter” was produced by Zack Ohren (Machine Head, Fallujah) and released via Arson Theory, the music company co-founded by frontman Hernan “Eddie” Hermida.

The track arrives after All Shall Perish surpassed its $75,000 Kickstarter goal to fund the recording of the band’s first new album since 2011’s This Is Where It Ends. The band is releasing the album independently, currently without a record label or manager. According to the campaign, funds will be allocated as follows:

• Finish recording: $30,000 (40%)
• Videos: $18,000 (24%)
• Promotion: $8,250 (11%)
• Contingency: $7,000 (9%)
• Mastering: $5,000 (7%)
• Platform fees: $6,750 (9%)

All Shall Perish recently embarked on The Price Of Existence 20 Year Anniversary tour, celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the band’s 2006 album The Price Of Existence, which was their first to feature Hermida and lead guitarist Chris Storey. The trek launched Sept. 4 in Fresno, California and concludes Oct. 3 in San Jose, California.
