“The police hadn’t helped us much, but the FBI got to work”

Tove Lo teamed up with SG Lewis back in 2024 for their collaborative EP Heat, which we liked quite a bit. But now, it’s time for a new Tove Lo album. A couple of days ago, the Swedish pop star announced the title and release date of her sixth studio album Estrus, which arrives in…

The London rapper and producer fakemink recently emerged as a weird, energetic new force with a lot of hype and energy behind him. On record, fakemink is an oblique lo-fi weirdo who radiates confidence even when he’s transforming his voice into an inhuman squeak. In person, he’s something else. When fakemink played Coachella last month, plenty of critics noted his sloppy, listless performance. (Hunter Biden, for one, was into it.) On Saturday, fakemink played Orlando’s Rolling Loud fest, and it seems like things didn’t go much better.

Glenn Hughes had a plan for 2026: do absolutely nothing. It got interrupted exactly once.

In a new interview with Metal Kaoz, Hughes discussed his one-off appearance with The Dead Daisies on May 30 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Ill. The show brings together Hughes, guitarist Doug Aldrich, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and guitarist/band founder David Lowy for a 50/50 split set — ten Dead Daisies tracks followed by ten Deep Purple classics. That’s the full itinerary.

“Specifically, when David Lowy asked me to do this show, I don’t know what they have planned, if they have anything planned. I know I’m taking some time off. I’m looking forward to that,” Hughes said (transcribed by Blabbermouth). “But we really haven’t talked about anything other than the Arcada Theater. Really, it’s just a one-show celebration of Deep Purple and Dead Daisies.”

“For me, I was gonna take 2026 off. I’ve been working like a crazy man for 30 years, and I haven’t really had any time to take a break,” Hughes explained. “So this year, for me, was going to be a no-show, no-album year. So all I know is I’m doing one show with my friends, and the rest is up to God.”

On what his next creative chapter might look like — following the 2025 solo album Chosen — Hughes had no interest in staying in a lane: “I’ve been making rock music for 50 years, more than that, and as an ever-changing artist, I have to listen to my soul. I’m not saying I won’t make rock music, but it’s not gonna be straight-down-the-middle classic rock. It’s gonna be a little bit different. I can’t stay in a formula. I’ve been changing every time I make an album. It’s got the rock feel, but there’s groove and there’s R&B, a little jazz. That’s the way I operate. I can’t make ‘Burn Part 2’ or ‘Addiction Part 2.’ I can’t do that.”

“For me, I sing all the time, whether I’m on stage or off stage. I’ve been given a tremendous gift with this voice,” Hughes said. “In my peer group, there’s four or five of my friends, and you know who they are, at my age that are still out there doing this. And we’re all very, very grateful. But while I have this ability to sing and feel the way I do, I think it’s important to feel good about giving it to people. I’ve had a lot of support with my voice all these years. There’s no one more grateful than I am for the people that have really come to see me sing. I’m a live singer. I’m very much a live singer.”

Hughes departed The Dead Daisies in May 2023 after four years with the band, replaced by a returning John Corabi. His career runs from early ‘70s success with Trapeze, through the Mark III Deep Purple lineup alongside David Coverdale — the Burn, Stormbringer, and Come Taste the Band era — to a prolific solo run and collaborations including Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa and Jason Bonham) and a guest turn on Robbie Williams’ 2025 single “Rocket,” which also featured Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.

Lorn are an Italian black metal band and this is their fourth album. Following on from 2017’s Arrayed Claws, Lorn have now returned with the 41-minute Searing Blood. It’s not the same Lorn as previously encountered though. However, when you listen to Searing Blood, it’s hard to complain. This is a shockingly good record. Searing Blood features … Continue reading “Lorn – Searing Blood (Review)”

Sir Roger Daltrey, voice of The Who, has announced a 20-city U.S. solo tour dubbed “A Great Night Out.” The run opens August 23 at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Arizona, and closes September 29 at the Chevalier Theatre in Medford, Massachusetts, with a stop at New York City’s The Town Hall on September 27. General on-sale begins May 15 at 10 a.m. local time; presale opens May 13 with password “GREATNIGHT.”

The tour follows The Who‘s acclaimed farewell run and Daltrey‘s widely praised 2024 semi-acoustic solo outing. His nine-piece backing ensemble is the same from those dates: Simon Townshend on guitar, Billy Nicholls on mandolin, Jody Linscott on percussion, Doug Boyle on guitar, John Hogg on bass, Katie Jacoby on violin, Steve Weston on harmonica, Geraint Watkins on keyboards/accordion, and Scott Devours on drums.

Expect a setlist drawing from Daltrey‘s solo catalog, reimagined covers, and Who rarities that rarely get aired. The 2024 run earned glowing notices for its candid banter and acoustic intimacy; Forbes called Daltrey “witty, charming, and engaging. An absolute masterclass.”

“Well, it’s one more for the road,” Daltrey said. “After finishing The Who‘s final tour of the U.S., it’s time for me as a solo artist to possibly do the same. After touring solo with different bands of musicians for the last 17 years, a less grueling life becomes more attractive, I’ll see. With my present lineup of nine musicians, I have this opportunity to see your beautiful country and enjoy the hospitality you have shown me over so many years. I’ll be off the backing tracks and always searching for different soundscapes to present the songs. It’s a lot of fun and gives me the chance to have A Great Night Out.”

Daltrey was knighted last December by the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle for his service to music and charity, including over 25 years of curating Teenage Cancer Trust concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. He’s a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee (1990) and Grammy Lifetime Achievement recipient. Planet Rock listeners voted him the fifth-greatest rock voice of all time. His 2018 autobiography Thanks A Lot Mr. Kibblewhite earned strong reviews.
