Overcast Off unleash raw emotional intensity on Acid Rain Dance, a gripping alt rock slow burner driven by pounding 6/8 rhythms, wiry guitars, and deeply evocative storytelling. Recorded live with an unfiltered immediacy, the track captures the chaos and vulnerability of youth through poetic imagery and restless momentum. Balancing post-punk tension with gritty rock energy, Acid Rain Dance feels simultaneously urgent and introspective, channeling the spirit of bands like Protomartyr and Fontaines D.C. without losing its own identity.

Dark, hypnotic, and emotionally charged, it’s a powerful statement from a band embracing rawness over polish.

Ruby AT delivers pure liquid drum & bass elegance on Flowers, a smooth and emotionally rich instrumental driven by rolling rhythms, atmospheric textures, and warm melodic depth. Floating between late-night introspection and dancefloor momentum, the track blends soulful harmonies, subtle vocal flourishes, and fluid basslines into a deeply immersive listening experience. Rather than relying on explosive drops, Flowers thrives on restraint, groove, and emotional flow, creating a sound that feels equally suited for headphone escapes and club systems alike. Lush, cinematic, and effortlessly hypnotic, it’s liquid DnB crafted with precision and heart.

On Tuesday, May 19, Stir Cove at Harrah’s Casino and Hotel in Council Bluffs, IA was the place to be as Yellowcard made their return to the Omaha metro area. There were many elder millennials in lawn chairs, more so than people in the pit, making me question: is Yellowcard classic rock? In a way yes, but that goes to show the longevity their music goes.

The Plain White T’s from Chicagoland kicked things off for the night. These guys have been together since 2003, at least this lineup of guys, so it was cool seeing these guys can still put on a damn good set. Tom Higgenson still sounds the same as the records from back in the day. He borrowed someone’s sunglasses from the crowd. I’ve never seen that happen before. They played hits such as “Our Time Now” (shout out iCarly) and “Rhythm of Love”, led by guitarist Tim Lopez. Near the end of their set, the band and crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to their photographer, Hailey Sherman. And, of course, you got to end it with “Hey There Delilah”, a sing along for the ages. So glad I got to finally see these guys live after their music has been in my life since my adolescent years.

New Found Glory from Florida was the direct support. This was also my first time seeing them. For a band that’s been around since 1997, they still bring energy to their live performance. Jordan Pundik (sporting a Militarie Gun shirt), lead singer, went out into the crowd at one point, a man of the people. They played some new songs off of their latest album, Listen Up!, as well as older material like “All Downhill from Here”. They even performed their cover of “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid, shouting out the Disney adults. Ian Gruska, dubbed the “sexiest bassist in all of pop punk”, had a ton of fun performing, even taking his shirt off, showcasing his body tattoos and suspenders. They ended their set with “My Friends Over You”, which got so many people excited. Never really engaged with New Found Glory’s music before this set, but I was impressed by their performance.

Finally, the crowd was ready for Yellowcard. This my second time seeing them live, the first on Halloween night 2025 in Lincoln, Nebraska. So, I was familiar with their live show. But they’ve added some moments they’ve added to their headlining set. They opened up their set playing the Top Gun theme. While they performed, they had clips of movies from the 1980s like Goonies and Stand By Me as well as nostalgic video games like Zelda and Mario. What I appreciated the most about this performance was how vulnerable Ryan Key was about becoming a father and his mental health journey. Despite the recent comeback and the successes that come with being a band that has a devoted following, being a working musician does take a toll on your mentality, especially being away from home. They had a pretty solid crowd, even a couple people crowd surfing in the chill evening. But this band continues to bring it live. At one point, they brought out some couches, lamps, acoustic guitars and slowed the set down a bit. They replicated that feel of hanging with friends downstairs at your parents’ house. This night felt like we were all back at Warped Tour, just making new memories with this music we love. They ended with “Ocean Avenue”, which got everyone moving and singing. Once again, I’m glad Yellowcard is back together and can bundle a tour together with their buddies that they have grinded with since the early 2000s. I hope we get some new music from them soon.

For some Christopher Cross represents a moment in time, basically 1980, when his debut solo album was a major success.  He went on to win five Grammys a year later and his career was established. Of course, since that time, … Continue reading →

New Order will revisit their 1994 hits collection, The Best Of New Order, and its 1995 remix companion, The Rest Of New Order, this summer with a newly remastered, expanded collection featuring rare mixes, vinyl-only cuts, and previously unreleased remixes.

Due out on July 17th via Warner Music, The Best & The Rest Of New Order will be released in multiple formats, led by a 4CD deluxe edition that pairs both original compilations with two bonus discs of additional remixes — including four previously unreleased tracks.

Originally released in 1994, The Best Of New Order gathered 7-inch versions of the band’s classic singles from 1985 onward, along with four then-new 1994 mixes: “True Faith,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “1963” and “Round & Round.” Its companion set, The Rest Of New Order, followed in 1995, collecting club remixes including Hardfloor’s “Blue Monday-95.” Both compilations reached the U.K. Top 5.

The expanded 4CD edition includes remastered versions of both albums, plus bonus material featuring remixes by Sub Sub, Richie Hawtin, Joe T. Vannelli, Perfecto, Shep Pettibone, Armand Van Helden, K-Klass, Howie B., Dave Clarke, and more.

Among the previously unreleased tracks are a full-length version of “1963-94,” Sub Sub’s 12-inch remix of “Spooky,” the “Eschreamer” mix of “True Faith-94” and an alternate Richie Hawtin mix of “Blue Monday.”

Vinyl editions are also planned. The Best Of New Order will be released as a remastered 2LP set, cut at Abbey Road Studios, with an exclusive blue-vinyl pressing available through the band’s official store. The Rest Of New Order will appear as a 3LP set, also cut at Abbey Road, bringing together the original CD and vinyl remix selections on vinyl for the first time.

A standard 2CD edition of The Best & The Rest Of New Order will also be available. Pre-orders are open now through New Order’s official store.

Also in New Order news, Joy Division/New Order are part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026, alongside Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan. The induction ceremony is scheduled for Nov. 14, 2026, at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with a broadcast planned for December on ABC and Disney+.

Any hopes of a full classic lineup reunion at the ceremony appear unlikely. Peter Hook has stated that he will not perform with Bernard Sumner, Stephen Morris, and Gillian Gilbert at the Rock Hall event.

Aside from a possible appearance at the induction ceremony, New Order currently has no 2026 live dates scheduled.

In recent years, Rhino has kept the band’s reissue campaign going with expanded 2CD editions of Movement, Power, Corruption & Lies, Low-Life, and Brotherhood, plus Blu-ray Audio editions of Movement, Low-Life, and Brotherhood featuring Dolby Atmos, 5.1 surround sound, stereo mixes, and instrumentals by Steven Wilson.

Former New Order bassist Peter Hook will continue to carry the catalog on the road in 2026. Peter Hook & The Light have announced North American dates built around a full performance of New Order’s 2001 album Get Ready, with additional New Order and Joy Division favorites also in the set.
