Alternative Rock Rising Star Rohin Announces New EP ‘As The Light Fades’ and Drops Powerful Single “Sundown”

Toronto’s own Rohin is back and ready to make waves. The 21-year-old alternative artist has announced his sophomore EP As The Light Fades, out now via Universal Music Canada, alongside the release of his soaring new single “Sundown,” out now on all streaming platforms. The track dives deep into the turmoil of loving someone emotionally unavailable, exploring confusion, desperation, and the moments where passion blurs intention.

“Sundown” captures Rohin’s knack for raw emotional honesty, blending alternative rock grit with ambient textures that shimmer between melancholy and release. It’s a compelling follow-up to his first single “Someday,” which arrived earlier this summer with a cinematic music video that showcased his growing artistry.

On the forthcoming EP, Rohin says, “I’m so proud of this project – I believe it is my best work yet, and my most intentional. It’s about the ending of eras and trying to find catharsis in that crisis.” As The Light Fades captures that exact spirit — a coming-of-age reflection written against the backdrop of a world in flux. The EP grapples with modern uncertainty, the loss of innocence, and the fragile process of rebuilding hope amid chaos.

Following his debut EP follow me down in 2024, which featured the standout track “Sadlove,” Rohin has refined his sound into something darker, more reflective, and deeply resonant. Inspired by the British indie rock scene and ambient soundscapes, his music sits at the crossroads of nostalgia and revelation — honest, youthful, and defiantly alive.

“Sundown” is the perfect preview of what’s to come — an anthemic, emotionally charged snapshot of an artist stepping fully into his moment.

Czech Hardcore Force CRIPPLED FINGERS Unleash Explosive Live Set from the Netherlands

Prague’s own CRIPPLED FINGERS have just dropped a full live set that captures everything fans love about them: sweat, grit, and pure hardcore fury. Recorded during their October 2024 shows in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, the performance at Neushoorn finds the band firing on all cylinders in front of a packed crowd. The multi-camera, pro-mixed release delivers the band’s trademark blend of aggression and control — the kind of energy that can only come from years of tearing up stages across Europe.

After a chaotic first night at an underground venue, it was the second show that nailed the band’s chemistry and momentum. Every riff, shout, and breakdown hits like a controlled detonation, a testament to the intensity that’s made CRIPPLED FINGERS one of the Czech hardcore scene’s most formidable live acts.

With three full-length albums, an EP, and a string of high-voltage singles, the band has built a reputation as road warriors, lighting up festivals like Brutal Assault, Fajtfest, Masters of Rock, and Czech Death Fest. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with icons such as Hatebreed, Biohazard, Crowbar, Guilt Trip, Worst, and Pro-Pain.

This new live set follows their third album Through the Pain, released in April 2024, and acts as a fierce reminder of what CRIPPLED FINGERS deliver best — honest, unfiltered, high-volume emotion. It’s not just a concert film; it’s a portrait of a band built on resilience, community, and the power of the pit.

Track Listing (Live Set):

  1. Intro
  2. Through the Pain
  3. Nothing Left to Fear
  4. Broken Hands
  5. Inside Out

Rapper Ace Hood Takes Full Control With Defiant New Visual “Born Rebel” From ‘S.O.U.L.’

Ace Hood is standing tall in his truth with the release of the fiery new video for “Born Rebel,” a standout from his latest project S.O.U.L., out now. The clip shows the platinum-selling artist spitting fearless bars in front of a Lamborghini, his confidence and independence radiating through every frame. It’s the perfect visual metaphor for a man fully steering his own destiny.

“Shout my lawyer/this shit real/pullin’ me outta that bad deal,” he raps. “I wanted freedom to build mine/start to see holdin’-me-back signs.” The lyrics speak directly to Ace’s journey toward autonomy—one that now finds him leading his own label, Hood Nation Records, and crafting art entirely on his own terms.

S.O.U.L. represents the final chapter in a trilogy that began with M.I.N.D. and B.O.D.Y., a conceptual evolution chronicling his growth as both a man and an artist. The album’s sonic palette blends introspective soul with hard-hitting trap beats, delivering a rich emotional landscape where self-awareness and swagger coexist.

Highlights like “Georgia Lyric” pay homage to his grandmother and late daughter, while “Live and Learn” turns pain into perseverance. Tracks such as “Yes He Is” and “Even After the Rain” bring faith and renewal into focus, rounding out a body of work that feels deeply human and spiritually grounded.

“This is the embodiment of my integrated self,” Ace shares. “It’s inspiring and honest, and I’m expressing all the different versions of me.” S.O.U.L. isn’t just an album—it’s a statement of self-mastery from one of hip-hop’s most resilient voices.

Track Listing:

  1. Born Rebel
  2. Georgia Lyric
  3. Live and Learn

Russian Post-Rock Visionaries I am waiting for you last summer Return With Cinematic New Album ‘Without/Within’

Cinematic post-rock project I am waiting for you last summer have returned with Without/Within, their most ambitious and emotionally charged album to date. Formed in Ryazan, Russia in 2011 at a This Will Destroy You concert, the trio—Sasha Sokolov, Evgenii Popov, and Lev Nikitin—have crafted an expansive sonic journey that explores the fragile boundaries between inner and outer worlds, consciousness and cosmos.

The album’s concept, Sokolov explains, centers on the mystery of awareness itself—how it forms, perceives, and divides the world into dualities. “Nulla,” the lead single, captures that idea in sound: a haunting, ascending composition that swells with synth textures, echoing percussion, and celestial atmospherics. “Nulla was inspired by the idea that we — as living matter — are part of an evolving process that, at some point, begins to question itself,” says Sokolov. “There’s something powerful in the image of consciousness emerging from the same material that forms stars and planets — and then turning inward to ask: What am I? What is this?”

Known for their immersive live shows that merge light, motion, and sound into something almost physical, I am waiting for you last summer have earned global acclaim from stages like SXSW, dunk!festival, and Magnetic Fields, performing alongside genre heavyweights including 65daysofstatic, Alcest, and Rosetta. Sokolov’s background in crafting music for major film trailers such as Jurassic World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier lends the band’s sound an unmistakable cinematic gravity.

Without/Within unfolds like a science fiction narrative of self-awareness, blending ambient soundscapes, industrial pulses, and vast emotional crescendos. Across ten tracks—Message, Contact, Unknown, Redshift, Threshold, Nulla, Entangled, Tides, Gravity, and Quiet Sun—the band balances introspection with momentum, turning each moment into a meditation on being itself.

This is I am waiting for you last summer at their most expansive, spiritual, and human. Without/Within isn’t just an album—it’s a question whispered to the universe and reflected back in sound.

Without/Within Track Listing:

1. Message
2. Contact
3. Unknown
4. Redshift
5. Threshold
6. Nulla
7. Entangled
8. Tides
9. Gravity
10. Quiet Sun

Country Icons Ty Herndon and Ashley McBryde Reimagine ‘A Man Holdin’ On (To a Woman Lettin’ Go)’ for New Era

Ty Herndon is celebrating thirty years of country music with a powerful new collaboration alongside Ashley McBryde. The pair have joined forces for a reimagined version of Herndon’s 1998 classic “A Man Holdin’ On (To a Woman Lettin’ Go),” out now through Club44 Records. The emotional ballad finds new life through McBryde’s soulful grit and Herndon’s timeless warmth, making for one of the most poignant duets of the year.

Originally penned by Gene Dobbins, John Ramey, and Bobby Taylor, “A Man Holdin’ On” became one of Herndon’s most beloved hits in the late ’90s. Now, with McBryde’s haunting harmonies, the song feels both familiar and revitalized, a perfect bridge between country’s past and present. Together, the two deliver a masterclass in storytelling — a raw and tender reflection on love, loss, and the art of letting go.

“This song has always been one of the most emotional songs in my catalog,” Herndon says. “To revisit it with someone as fearless and gifted as Ashley was both humbling and electric. We didn’t just sing the song — we lived it.”

The track serves as the second single from Herndon’s upcoming double album Thirty, a career-spanning project that marks his three-decade journey in country music. Set to arrive in two volumes, Thirty will feature new collaborations on many of Herndon’s most cherished songs, each reinterpreted with some of today’s most dynamic country voices.

Released through Club44 Records, this reimagined “A Man Holdin’ On” is more than a trip down memory lane — it’s a heartfelt testament to Herndon’s longevity, authenticity, and enduring influence in the genre. Thirty stands as a celebration of resilience, artistry, and the stories that continue to define country music.

The multi-instrumentalist and rising alt-pop sensation has just dropped his deluxe album ‘Malcolm Todd (Still)’ via Columbia Records, along with his brand-new single “Original.” The expanded edition builds on his breakout self-titled debut, delivering four new tracks that showcase his signature mix of wit, emotion, and undeniable groove.

“Original” is pure Malcolm magic — confessional, catchy, and brimming with feeling. His raw vocal cuts through a lush, sun-drenched chorus that feels equal parts heartbreak and hope. The deluxe album continues the story that Rolling Stone called “a knockout” and “an intriguing vision for a new kind of male pop star.”

The project includes his hit single “Chest Pain,” which stormed the Billboard Hot 100 and racked up over 100 million streams, alongside “Concrete,” “Cheer Me On,” and “Bleed” featuring Omar Apollo. The latter arrived with an Aidan Cullen-directed video set in an underground fight club, complete with a surprise cameo from Jack Harlow.

Following a massive sold-out North American tour with packed shows at Terminal 5, The Wiltern, and The Regency Ballroom, Malcolm’s star power has only grown brighter. His mix of self-awareness, humor, and emotional honesty has made him one of pop’s most compelling new voices.

‘Malcolm Todd (Still)’ is out now on all platforms — a bold, playful, and deeply human statement from an artist who keeps redefining what pop can sound like in 2025.

Pop-Rock Powerhouse The Band CAMINO Soar With New Album ‘NeverAlways’

The Band CAMINO are officially back and brighter than ever. The Nashville-based pop-rock trio have released their highly anticipated third studio album ‘NeverAlways,’ available now via Atlantic Records. Across eleven tracks, the band captures the essence of everything fans love about them: explosive emotion, shimmering hooks, and a sound that hits as hard in your headphones as it does in a packed venue.

‘NeverAlways’ is led by standout single “What You Can’t Have,” along with the previously released “Stupid Questions” and “Infinity.” Both were co-written with longtime collaborators Seth Ennis and Schmidt, the same creative partnership behind the band’s beloved hits “Daphne Blue” and “See Through.” Together, they’ve crafted a record that blends nostalgia and renewal in equal measure.

The album also features collaborations with some of pop’s brightest minds, including Captain Cuts, Jonah Shy (Role Model, Shawn Mendes), and Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams). The result is a lush, cinematic sound that expands the band’s musical palette without losing the emotional edge that made them fan favorites in the first place.

“‘NeverAlways’ is a reflection of our past couple of years as a band – sonically and emotionally,” The Band CAMINO share. “We wrote these songs in a period of intense change, but making it felt like returning to ourselves in a way – like growing up and becoming a kid again all at once. It’s an album about getting caught up in extremes – life, death, never, and always. But finally understanding that real living, the good stuff, happens somewhere in between.”

‘NeverAlways’ marks a new chapter for The Band CAMINO — one that celebrates evolution, vulnerability, and everything that comes with learning how to live in the in-between. It’s streaming now everywhere, and it’s their most confident, cohesive statement yet.

Rock Titans Three Days Grace Ignite Emotion With ‘Kill Me Fast’ From ‘Alienation’

Three Days Grace are back in full force with the release of “Kill Me Fast,” a powerful new single from their upcoming album ‘Alienation,’ out now across all digital streaming platforms. Following their chart-topping hits “Apologies” and “Mayday,” and the high-octane opener “Dominate,” this latest track pushes their sound and storytelling into even deeper emotional territory.

Frontman Adam Gontier says “Kill Me Fast” is among his personal favorites. “’Kill Me Fast’ is one of my favorite songs this band has ever written. It’s about ripping the band aid off. It’s a plea to someone who’s already halfway out the door, to just let you go. Don’t keep me hanging on while you figure your life out. It’s about the slow torture of not knowing where you stand. That moment when silence hurts more than the truth, and you’re begging for the cut just to stop the bleeding.”

‘Alienation’ captures what Three Days Grace do best — fusing heavy, propulsive rock with lyrics that cut straight to the heart. With Gontier’s return joining Matt Walst on vocals, the band is embracing a bold new era that feels both fiercely present and unmistakably classic. Fans can expect the same emotional catharsis that defined their early years, with the energy and craftsmanship that comes from two decades atop the rock world.

The band continues to rack up milestones that speak to their legacy. They’ve tallied 20 total #1 hits on Mediabase’s Active Rock chart and 19 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, and recently entered Spotify’s “Billions Club” as their 2003 anthem “I Hate Everything About You” surpassed 1 billion streams. It’s another moment that cements Three Days Grace as one of rock’s most enduring forces.

‘Alienation,’ available now via RCA Records, features twelve tracks that chart a journey through heartbreak, power, and renewal. It’s an album built for both longtime fans and a new generation discovering why Three Days Grace remain at the heart of modern rock’s DNA.

Prog-Metal Power Surge as Between the Buried and Me Dive Deep into ‘The Blue Nowhere’

Prog-Metal Power Surge as Between the Buried and Me Dive Deep into ‘The Blue Nowhere’

Between the Buried and Me are turning up the volume and bending space-time again with their newest release, “Absent Thereafter,” a mind-bending track that offers a second taste of their upcoming album ‘The Blue Nowhere,’ out now via InsideOutMusic. It’s everything fans love about the North Carolina prog-metal pioneers: ambitious, fearless, and impossible to pin down.

Vocalist Tommy Rogers calls “Absent Thereafter” the quintessential BTBAM song. “To me, ‘Absent Thereafter’ feels like the quintessential BTBAM song – fun, intense, spacy, and still f***ing heavy,” he says. “I like to think it takes the listener on an unexpected journey, with ear candy waiting around every corner. It’s a deeper dive into all of the dynamic places you’re taken within The Blue Nowhere!”

Bassist Dan Briggs says the new track splits the difference between chaos and groove. “This song moves arrangement-wise in two parts divided by a key change and tonal shift of the chorus, but is ultimately the big fun time bombastic energy of a Van Halen shuffle with Huey Lewis and the News horns going through variations that are sometimes heavily syncopated, sometimes lost in space, and sometimes inspiring you to break out into a do-si-do,” he says. “Grab your washboard and let’s go!”

The band’s earlier single, “Things We Tell Ourselves In The Dark,” came with a 3D-modeled video that introduced fans to the mysterious hotel setting central to the album’s concept. Critics have been eating it up, with Consequence calling it “sunny jazz-funk,” Revolver dubbing it “the first funky taste of the prog vets’ new collection,” and Knotfest praising how it “showcases the band’s all-encompassing range and unwillingness to stick to the conventional.”

Produced by longtime collaborator Jamie King and mixed by Jens Bogren, ‘The Blue Nowhere’ breaks new ground for Between the Buried and Me. Featuring lush strings and horns across its massive arrangements, the album is available now as a Special Edition CD, Gatefold 2LP, and digitally, with a Deluxe Gatefold Special Colored 2LP + 2CD edition that includes a bonus track, instrumentals, a door-hanger, and alternate artwork. It’s BTBAM at their most adventurous, and it’s out in the wild right now.
