Progressive rock legends Yes have announced their 24th studio album Aurora, set for release on 12 June 2026 via InsideOutMusic and Sony Music. The current lineup of Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen continue to push forward creatively with a record that blends heritage with fresh ideas.

Steve Howe described the process as a collaborative experience, highlighting the band’s ongoing commitment to evolving their sound rather than revisiting the past.

“Making this record was joyful,” Steve Howe told us. “A chance to play, explore and give everything to the music. It’s always been about collaboration. Somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it, it isn’t really a Yes song.

The band have also released the title track Aurora, accompanied by an animated video created by Matt Hutchings. The album features ten tracks including Aurora, Turnaround Situation, Countermovement and Emotional Intelligence, showcasing a mix of expansive compositions and shorter, focused pieces.

Work on the album began following the Classic Tales Of Yes tour in 2024, with the band adopting a modern, collaborative approach, developing ideas across home studios before bringing them together into a cohesive final record.

There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. “Among these early sketches was a piece titled Aurora,” the band said, “and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band.”

Jon Davison remembers how “the title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project.”

Aurora represents another chapter in the Yes legacy, combining their signature progressive style with a continued drive to explore new musical territory.

Aurora will be available in multiple formats including deluxe vinyl, CD and Blu-ray editions featuring Dolby Atmos and surround sound mixes, alongside digital versions. Pre-orders are available from yes-band.lnk.to/Aurora.

Marmozets have shared another piece of their upcoming record ‘CO. WAR. DICE.’, and it finds them sparkling like a thousand glitter balls.

Titled ‘Cut Back’, it pays plenty of tributes to the synth-driven, dancefloor-flooding sensationalism of the 1980s. But this isn’t a throwback; it’s a reinvention and reinvigoration of a sound to the point where it feels like nobody else by Marmozets. Wonderfully thrilling and devilishly catchy, it also sounds like nothing else that the band have shared from their first record in eight years; a reminder to always expect the unexpected and never settle for anything less than the boat being pushed all the way out.

‘CO. WAR. DICE.’ will be released in full on May 22 via Nettwerk.

Here is previous single, ‘Running With The Sun In Your Eyes’:

Dead Pony have revealed that they will be releasing a new EP next month, kicking off what is sure to be a riotous chapter for the band.

It’s going to be called ‘Eat My Dust!’ and will be yours on May 15 via ADA. It serves as the follow-up to 2024’s full-length ‘IGNORE THIS’.

Vocalist Anna Sheilds and Producer/Guitarist Blair Crichton had this to say about the release, explaining, “We’re stepping into a whole new era of Dead Pony — one that feels bigger, bolder, and more unapologetically us than anything we’ve ever done before. We’ve pulled heavily from our early 2000s influences, but this isn’t about looking back — it’s about reshaping that nostalgia into something that feels fresh, unpredictable, and completely our own.”

“More than anything, we wanted this EP to be a statement. There’s chaos and energy running through every track, but underneath it is a band pushing themselves to evolve. We’ve gone further with our songwriting, taken more risks in the studio, and allowed ourselves to experiment in ways we never have before. This is us stepping outside our comfort zone and fully committing to it.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is a little bit more like this:

1. What If?
2. Eat My Dust!
3. Freak Like Me
4. BOOM!
5. Fury
6. Lost Inside Of Me

The title track is already out there for you, but today sees the release of another taste of the project. That is ‘Freak Like Me’, a proud and powerful piece of throwback battery that serves as a manifesto for all those who live this life a little bit differently. Showing off plenty of nu-metal crunch and harmony-driven euphoria, it’s a rip-roarer of a track, one that is impossible not to lose all inhibitions to.

Anna had this to say about the song’s inspiration:

“Freak Like Me is a love letter to the outsiders in society – the ones who never quite fit the mould and stopped trying to. It’s about owning every bizarre, messy, sexy, beautiful part of who you are, and finding your people in that chaos. I was really inspired by the energy of The Priory bar in Glasgow, where we used to hang out and play our first gigs – sweaty, loud, full of young musicians and misfits just being unapologetically themselves. There was this unspoken understanding that no one had to pretend. That’s the spirit I wanted to bottle in this track — a space where being a ‘freak’ isn’t just accepted; it’s celebrated.”

Go on, dance. Nobody is watching.

The band will be heading out on a lovely little headline tour in a month’s time. Here is where you will be able to see them:
