Way back in 2019, we put Penelope Isles, the Brighton-based indie rock duo of Lily and Jack Wolter, on our list of the year’s best new bands. Penelope Isles released their sophomore album Which Way To Happy in 2021, and then the Wolters went off and did other things. Lily spent an extended sojourn surfing in Sri Lanka and Indonesia, while Jack toured as CMAT’s guitarist. Also, both of them put out their own solo music — Lily as My Precious Bunny, Jack as Cubzoa. But now the Wolters are back together, with a new Penelope Isles album on the way.

Old school death metal veterans Jungle Rot are asking fans for support after a sudden travel disaster left the band stranded and hit with unexpected expenses while on tour. The group has launched a GoFundMe campaign titled Help Us Get Back on the Road to recover the financial losses and keep their current touring cycle moving forward.

Travel chaos triggers major financial setback

According to the band, the situation began when a flight was canceled without warning during their current tour. That single disruption created a chain reaction of costs, forcing the group to cover emergency lodging, transportation, driver fees, and last minute travel rebooking.
In their statement, Jungle Rot explained that independent touring acts operate on extremely tight margins, where one major delay or cancellation can erase profits from multiple shows. What might look like a simple travel issue on the surface quickly becomes a serious financial burden when multiplied across an entire tour schedule.
The band emphasized that every part of their touring operation is budgeted in advance, meaning unexpected disruptions can put pressure on both the musicians and the crew working behind the scenes to keep the run alive.
“Any contribution helps keep us on the road”

Jungle Rot addressed fans directly, stressing that the goal of the GoFundMe is simply to recover from the unexpected losses and continue the tour as planned.
They noted that any donation, no matter the size, goes directly toward covering travel related expenses. For fans unable to contribute financially, the band said that sharing the fundraiser is just as valuable in helping spread the word and ease the burden.
The message reflects a familiar reality for long running underground bands, where community support often plays a critical role in keeping tours viable when setbacks hit.
Still on the road with a packed 2026 tour schedule

Despite the setback, Jungle Rot continue their extensive “Back to the Old School Tour,” which includes club shows and major European festival appearances throughout summer 2026.
The tour features support from acts including KHNVM and Rats Of Gomorrah on select legs, alongside appearances at major festivals across Europe.
Stops include cities across the Baltics, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, and major festival dates such as Obscene Extreme Festival, Dortmund Deathfest, Partysan Festival, and Alcatraz Festival.
Touring reality hits even veteran bands

The situation highlights a harsh truth of modern touring life. Even established underground bands are not immune to logistical failures that can quickly snowball into major financial setbacks. A single canceled flight can ripple through an entire schedule, impacting lodging, transport, and production costs across multiple countries.
For Jungle Rot, the focus remains on staying on the road and delivering shows to fans who have supported them for decades. The GoFundMe is simply a way to bridge an unexpected gap and keep the tour moving forward without further disruption.
As the band continues their 2026 run, the message is clear: the music does not stop, but sometimes the road needs a little help keeping it alive.

The story of the night that these electro-pop pioneers from Essex caused such carnage they made the US national news

Where they from?
Copenhagen, Denmark. KNICKS GONNA WIN A FUCKING CHAMPIONSHIP! KNICKS IN FOUR! KNICKS IN FOUR! KNICKS IN FOUR! KNICKS IN (you get the idea).

Why the hype?
Are you ready to have your brain MELTIFIED?! If your taste in grindcore leans more in the Repulsion/Carcass/Exhumed vein than this is absolutely your ticket to ride baby. This band really excels in those thrashy tornados of single-foot blast beats that ought to get a basement filled with heshers absolutely jumping, or at the very least not looking at their goddamn phones for fifteen minutes. I mean, I get it, we all want to monitor twitter as the New York Knicks win their first championship in fifty three years, but come on people, there’s good helpings of grimy grindcore to be had here!

Latest release?
Meltification, self-released. Like I said earlier, this band has a very old-school vibe but it’s paired with modern production and precision. There are many punky tritone riffs to be had and circle pits for days here. Kind of like Manhattan after the Knicks win this here championship. KNICKS IN FOUR!

Deathcore veterans Whitechapel are hitting a major milestone this fall, marking 20 years of relentless heaviness with a full North American headlining run that looks more like a victory lap built for chaos than a nostalgia trip.
Presented by Live Nation , the tour launches November 11 in Atlanta, Georgia and wraps December 18 in Pelham, Tennessee. Along the way, the band will be pulling from their entire catalog, meaning nothing is off limits. Old cuts, new bruisers, deep cuts that fans have been begging for years, it is all on the table.
Joining them for the run is a stacked support bill featuring Chelsea Grin , The Acacia Strain , and Netherwalker on select dates. That lineup alone tells you this is not a casual night out. This is full contact damage.
Guitarist Alex Wade summed it up best, reflecting on the band’s unlikely two decade run and calling this their biggest headlining tour yet. The band plans to perform songs from their entire discography, promising their longest sets ever in the largest rooms they have played to date.
Tickets move fast on this kind of run. Artist presales and VIP packages open June 9 at 2:00 PM local time through Sound Rink, with general on sale following June 12 at 10:00 AM local. VIP options include meet and greets, early entry, exclusive merch, and collector style items built for the diehards who have been riding since day one.

This tour also leans heavily on the band’s most recent release, Hymns In Dissonance , issued via Metal Blade Records . The record pushed Whitechapel further into darker, heavier territory and earned strong chart placements across Billboard categories, proving the band is not just surviving 20 years in, they are still evolving and hitting harder than ever.
Critical reception was just as blunt as the music itself, with outlets praising its brutality, technical weight, and refusal to let up. Translation, it is built for the pit, not polite listening.
