Dion, who has rarely performed since announcing her stiff person syndrome diagnosis in 2022, will put on 10 shows beginning in September.

My Precious Bunny is the solo project of Lily Wolter, who plays in the great Brighton indie rock band Penelope Isles with her brother Jack. She recently announced her debut album A Moment In My Eyes and shared its dreamy acoustic lead single “I Go Up, You Go Down.” Today we get another preview, the…

Listen, you and I both know there’s something fishy going on with this whole President thing. Maybe it’s the gimmick. Maybe it’s the fact that they were suddenly popular despite never putting out a song. But for many, their reasons don’t extend beyond the fact that they feel like an industry plant.

All of that is prologue to say that the band is going out on tour in North America for the first time in its seemingly short existence. Coming along for their headline tour through the U.S. will be Cenobia and Showing Teeth on select dates.

The tour itself will kick off on September 4 in Nashville, Tennessee and come to a close on October 14 in Dallas, Texas. Along the way, they’ll make stops in places like St. Louis, Missouri; Toronto, Ontario; and Denver, Colorado, just to name a few.

You can find the full list of tour dates below. Pre-sale access begins Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time, though you’ll have to register at the band’s website to gain access.

GOZU will be touring in support of their forthcoming new full-length, Gozu VI, set for release on May 15th through Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records.

“We wanted something that really moved and hit a nerve,” says GOZU singer/guitarist Marc Gaffney on composing the band’s sixth studio album. “I was pretty roughed up emotionally while writing. I played guitar more in the past two years than ever before. I would work, go to the gym, come home, eat and then play guitar until I went to bed.”

The end result is eight action-packed tracks, produced and mixed by Benny Grotto at Boston’s Mad Oak Studios. With Gozu VI, the lineup’s melding of intense, fuzzy ’70s-inspired riffs, rich, catchy, grunge-esque vocal melodies, and a touch of oldschool stoner psychedelia has reached a zenith. Categorize them how you will. “We don’t mind if people think we’re stoner, doom, heavy, easy listening with a touch of cayenne pepper. I feel we’re just a heavy soulful band,” Gaff says. “We play music that people can shake their ass to and lyrics that are honest and deal with human nature.”

Gozu VI will be released digitally. Find pre-orders at: blacklightmediarecords.com/gozu

A riddle for you: What has a bunch of arms and legs and features members of Graf Orlock, Dangers, Dogteeth and Ghostlimb? That would be LA hardcore punk ’n rollers Sweat, who are about to release their third full-length, Tear it on Down. We’re offering a complimentary peek at said ripper, which features 11 sweaty (sorry) tracks of incendiary, angry and riff-heavy punk rock performed by Tuna Tardugno (vocals), Anthony Rivera (drums), Justin Smith (guitars/vocals) and Kevin Conway (bass).

Tear it on Down was recorded live to tape July 2025 at the Atomic Garden, Oakland, CA. It was tracked, mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley. It’s set for release on vinyl and digitally via Vitriol Records on April 3. Place your preorder here (digital) or here (vinyl).

Vocalist Tuna Tardugno had this to say about Sweat’s new full-length:

“As a whole, this record addresses coming to terms with a world that is seemingly on its last leg and what feels like a firsthand view of ensuing collapse. It is about resilience, integrity, exhaustion and grief against the backdrop of an increasingly uncertain future and a general human decorum gone to shit, all awash in a wave of increasing brutality from the prevailing order. Although pessimistic, it counters that grief by rejecting those new norms and champions self-reliance and an understanding that we all have to sort this out ourselves. Ultimately, it settles on a hesitant hope that there is something worth pushing for and in that aggrieved pushing, an intrinsic value that ties us all together.

TLDR: Shit sucks, record rips, do something.”
