mgk Debuts Bouncy New Track ‘All Around The World’ Featuring Fred Durst
mgk has debuted a new track whilst on tour in Australia that sees him stepping into the crushing world of nu-metal, with a little help from a legend of the genre.
The track itself is called ‘All Around The World’ and was showcased for the first time at mgk’s show in Perth which took place last night (April 08), as part of his ‘lost americana’ world tour.
The track itself is as bouncy and belligerent as a song associated with nu-metal should be, but most specifically it feels like a Limp Bizkit banger in sound and stature.
That makes sense, considering that Colson called up the one and only Fred Durst to help him out on the track, and the result feels like both parties having all of the fun in the world.
mgk preceded the performance by stating, “I called up my friend Fred Durst. I said, ‘Sir, drop something on this’. What he dropped, the rest is history”.
He ain’t wrong.
You can check out some fan footage of the debut below.
mgk has apparantly been seen filming a music video for the track with fans during this world tour. Here is his recently released video for ‘lost americana’ track ‘goddamn’.The post mgk Debuts Bouncy New Track ‘All Around The World’ Featuring Fred Durst appeared first on Rock Sound.

Listening Now : deadPEASNTS – Leave It Alone
Leave It Alone by deadPEASNTS drifts through a dreamy, slightly off-kilter indie space, where acoustic warmth meets hazy synth textures and psychedelic undertones. The vocals feel intimate and close, almost confessional, while the melody quietly anchors the track as it moves through its more unconventional structure. There’s a gentle tension between clarity and blur, grounding and drift, giving the song a reflective, late-night feel.
Subtle but emotionally rich, it’s a piece that reveals more the deeper you sit with it.

WATCH: Militarie Gun Make London Their Own In ‘Kick’ Video
Militarie Gun have shared a new video for their sensational track ‘Kick’ ahead of a big Summer on the road.
The band recently played a headline tour across the UK, and much of the footage used in the video for the track is from that very run. The song itself is classic MG ambition: huge hooks, menacing intent, and enough heart and soul to fill a lake.
From making their way around Camden Town in a black cab to taking over one of London’s many luscious green spaces, the clip sums up what a special connection the band have with the other side of the Atlantic. A place that welcomes them as one of their own, and loves their music with every fibre of their being.
The track is taken from the band’s recent album ‘God Save The Gun’, which is out now via Loma Vista Recordings.
The band recently performed a whole host of tracks from the record for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert. Have a watch for yourself, it is absolutely ace.
Militarie Gun will be making their way around the world in the coming months for a whole load of festivals and shows. Here’s where you can catch them.
