The Mars Volta have unveiled an interactive project here, with a countdown timer on the cryptic website having concluded on June 9. Diehard fans have dug deep into the platform, with the general consensus being that the band are preparing a live album drawn from their 2025 touring cycle for Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacío — and are giving fans a hand in shaping its contents.
The Mars Volta toured extensively in 2025 in support of Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacío, performing the album in full throughout the run, which included an arena tour alongside Deftones. The album itself had an unconventional path to release: it leaked ahead of any announcement and was eventually officially released by the band with minimal fanfare.
The interactive platform provides audio previews of select live performances from the tour, with the various cities represented through enigmatic symbology rather than their names outright — a device that appears designed to discourage fans from voting for their hometown shows over the strongest performances. Fans have already reported deciphering the encoded city identifiers.
The Mars Volta are the experimental progressive rock band founded by guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López and vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala following the dissolution of At the Drive-In. The band’s catalog spans albums including De-Loused in the Comatorium (2003), Frances the Mute (2005) and Noctourniquet (2012), and a 2022 self-titled reunion album. Lucro Sucio; Los Ojos del Vacío is their most recent studio release.

Mayday Parade have revealed the details of their third and final part of their recent album series, and they are seing things out with a bang.

Titled ‘Sugar’, it’s set for release on July 24. It follows on from last year’s first two parts ‘Sweet’ and ‘Sad’.
The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is a bit more like this:
1. Set Phasers To Bummed
2. Blame It On The Youth
3. Sweet Sad Sugar
4. Weekend Music
5. Lying To Myself
6. Two Hearts
7. Don’t Give Up On Me
8. Patriotism Of First Tiger Called Into Question
9. So The Story Goes
10. What Happens Next
The record features the previously shared track ‘Blame It On The Youth’, but also the just dropped ‘Weekend Music’. A quintessential piece of romantic, nostalgic and really lovely pop-rock, with key changes and earnest chords aplenty, it’s everything that continues to make Mayday such a pivotal cornerstone of the scene. Even after all these years, they still manage to pull on the heartstrings.
Vocalist Derek Sanders had this to say about the song, stating, “When we began working on Sugar – part three of a three album release – I started to get concerned that we had overextended ourselves. That the good ideas had run dry and needed more time to replenish. ‘Weekend Music’ is one of the songs that came together and put me at ease, it has the catchiness and complexity that I was looking for. It feels good to be able to create a song that we’re proud of so deep into our career.”

The trailer for Green Day’s upcoming coming-of-age comedy ‘Nimrods’ has dropped, and it already looks like a must-see for any fan of the band.

Set for release in theatres on August 14, the film is set to follow Tommy, who receives a phone call inviting his band to open for Green Day on New Years Eve without him realising it’s a prank by his older brother, Wayne. Regardless, Tommy takes on a roadtrip from Kansas City to Los Angeles to live out his dreams, the sort of dream that countless bands have had before his.
One of those bands being Green Day themselves, who, of course, make a star appearance and are producers.
The film also starts Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, Ryan Foust, Mckenna Grace, Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey, Fred Armisen, Bobby Lee, Jolene, Keen Ruffalo, Ignacio Diaz-Silverio and Sean Gunn, so it is a star-studded affair.
Check it out for yourself below:
The post WATCH: The Trailer For Upcoming Green Day Comedy ‘Nimrods’ appeared first on Rock Sound.
For a very long time now, we’ve been hearing about the new road-trip comedy that Green Day are making in conjunction with Live Nation. Last year, when the movie had the title New Year’s Rev, we got a teaser. Now, the movie has been given the new title Nimrods, which is a little more obviously Green Day-based. It’s got a poster, a release date, and a brand new trailer.
