Connecticut-based hardcore outfit Boundaries returned earlier today to drop their first new piece of music since 2024’s Death Is Little More in the form of single “Skies Cast Amber Black”.

Written with an eye on the current cultural situation we all find ourselves in, “Skies Cast Amber Black” starts immediately with a punch to the face and doesn’t let up. Speaking of the Drew Fulk produced track, vocalist Matthew McDougal explained how the song relates to his experience in the music industry.

“I have a deep desire in the pit of my making to surround and suffocate the growing plague of people’s self-interest. Given the chance, I’d remove every ego from the music landscape and burn it off for fuel to power blood hungry behemoths whose only goal is to crush and disable. This song is my plea to cleanse a community I adore of people who see it only as an opportunity or a stepping stone.”

There’s no news at this time of a new album, nor was there any hint with this single release, but I’m willing to bet we’ll hear something in the near future.

Along with the new single, the band has a whole mess of live North American tour dates coming up with The Amity Affliction and August Burns Red. Then they’ll head out to Europe for the summer festival circuit. You can find the full list of dates below.

Latto seems to be doing really well. We haven’t gotten an album from the Atlanta rapper since 2024’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea, but she’s been cooking up more than a follow-up. Today she announced her new album Big Mama with the single “Business & Personal.” The cover art, the song, and its video revealed that…

Formed in Stockholm in 1983, Glorious Bankrobbers quickly earned notoriety for their uncompromising sound and electrifying live performances. Their 1984 debut, produced by Kee Marcello (Easy Action/Europe), marked the arrival of a band destined to push boundaries. By 1989, the group cemented their place in rock history with Dynamite Sex Doze—a landmark release that became […]

The Black Crowes present a wonderfully loud jangle on their 2026 platter, A Pound Of Feathers. Claiming that it took no more than 10 days to record, this is the follow up to their 2024 critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated, Happiness Bastards.

All songs here were penned by vocalist Chris and guitarist Rich Robinson, the brother core of the Crowes. We get a powerful “Profane Prophecy” to kick off things, with its crunchy guitar, wailing slide, and shouted backing vocals. “Cruel Streak’s” follows, showcasing drummer Cully Symington.

I like all the unadulterated rockin’ of the overall production here, and believe The Black Crowes are a band that do this kind of loosey goosy strut better than most. For me, the true meat-and-taters is the first half of the record with Rich Robinson’s stellar slide work, Erik Deutsch’s piano and Chris Robinson’s brilliant vocal. It all comes together in the all-acoustic, brilliantly tight and subtle “Pharmacy Chronicles.”

The five songs on the A Pound Of Lead second half begin again with that crunchy Stones-like panache on “It’s Like That,” which finds Chris wailing about being left by his lover. Mackenzie Adams and Leslie Grant once again lend some great single-word backing vocals in the chorus.  “Blood Red Regrets” and “You Call This A Good Time” get the Crowes strut working before  stripping down for “Eros Blues.” Its slow electric piano, swirly organ verses and nasty riffy chorus are pretty much perfect. Ender “Doomsday Doggerel” could have been the lost Led Zeppelin tune they never wrote.

It’s nice to still have the Robinson brothers and whatever company they are keeping these days, still crowing in their rag-taggle, Southern-stained way. The eleven songs of A Pound Of Feathers are surely worth a spin when you’re in the mood for no-nonsense, pull-no-punches, in-your-face rock and roll.

Purchase A Pound Of Feathers

These days, it feels like the UK trio FLO are the last straight-up pop girl group left standing, at least outside of the K-pop machine. FLO made their name by reviving the sleek R&B of the late ’90s, and they’re extremely good at it. Their very fun debut album Access All Areas came out in…

Seether are set to drop a new digital-only EP, Beneath The Surface, on April 17 through Concord Records. The first single, “Into The Ground”, is already out, arriving with a lyric video.

Beneath The Surface extends the cycle behind the band’s latest album, The Surface Seems So Far, adding a few more tracks tied to those sessions. The EP features four songs, including two previously unreleased studio cuts — “Into The Ground” and “Proud Daddy” — both taken from the original The Surface Seems So Far recordings. It also includes live versions of “Lost All Control” and “Judas Mind”, recorded during a SiriusXM Octane session.

Bassist Dale Stewart shared his thoughts on the release: “I’m really stoked about our new EP. “Into The Ground” really gets me pumped and “Proud Daddy” is one of my favorite songs from the last sessions we did.”

The Surface Seems So Far was released in September 2024 via Fantasy Records.

On the live front, Seether will hit the road this fall supporting Staind on the Break The Cycle 25th Anniversary Tour. The run takes place across September and October, with additional support from Hoobastank and Hinder. Produced by Live Nation, the 25-date trek begins September 8 in Atlanta and wraps October 19 in Austin, hitting amphitheaters and arenas across the U.S. and Canada.
