Alter Bridge Announce Self-Titled Rock Album and 2026 European Tour with Daughtry and Sevendust

With more than two decades performing together, acclaimed rockers Alter Bridge show no signs of slowing down. Known for their memorable riffs, infectious vocal melodies and dueling guitar attack, the quartet, comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums, has garnered massive critical and fan acclaim around the globe. The band looks to continue that trend when they release their self-titled, eighth studio album, Alter Bridge, set for January 9, 2026, via Napalm Records.

Alter Bridge is comprised of 12 new tracks from the band and features some of their most iconic moments on record. Songs like “Rue The Day,” “Disregarded,” and “Scales Are Falling” will fit alongside any of the classic songs from Alter Bridge’s catalog. “Trust In Me” shows Myles and Mark sharing vocal duties as Myles handles the verse duties while Mark takes the chorus. That strategy is flipped on “Tested And Able” as Mark handles the verses and Myles takes on the choruses behind one of the band’s heaviest intros to date, giving way to an unforgettable melody. “Hang By A Thread” is sure to become a show favorite as it hints at some of the most popular songs in the band’s catalog. The album closer “Slave To Master” is an epic track that Alter Bridge has come to be known for and is the longest song the quartet has recorded to date. The band worked with longtime collaborator and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette on their eighth album. Alter Bridge was recorded over 2 months this Spring in the legendary 5150 studio in California and Elvis’ recording studio in Florida.

To coincide with the announcement of the new album, Alter Bridge will be touring in support of the release. The band is heading out on the What Lies Within Tour. The 31-date tour of Europe will kick off on January 15th in Germany before it wraps on March 5th in Nottingham, UK. Joining the band on the tour will be Daughtry and Sevendust.

Alter Bridge will be reuniting for one show in 2025. The band will be doing a rare acoustic show on October 1st in Nashville to support the Tremonti Family Charity Golf Outing. The outing is a benefit started by guitarist Mark Tremonti to support the National Down Syndrome Society – an organization close to Mark after his daughter Stella was born with Down syndrome. The event will raise money for NDSS – an organization that engages grassroots advocates at the federal, state, and local levels and creates resources to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and caregivers across the lifespan on topics including education, employment, health and wellness, and aging.

Japanese Metal Phenoms Babymetal Unleash Explosive New Single “Kon! Kon!” Featuring Bloodywood

Babymetal has released the explosive new single “Kon! Kon!” featuring Bloodywood. This is the fifth single off their upcoming album Metal Forth, out now via Capitol Records. They also put out an accompanying music video for the song, filmed at their show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, that showcases their high-octane performance with Bloodywood. They are currently on tour together on their biggest North American tour to date.

Meaning “beyond metal,” Metal Forth features collaborations with Poppy, Spiritbox, Tom Morello, Bloodywood, Electric Callboy, Polyphia, and Slaughter to Prevail – artists Babymetal has connected with while touring the globe. Fans can stream the previously released singles “Ratatata” with Electric Callboy, “From Me to U” featuring Poppy, and “Song 3” with Slaughter To Prevail, now on all digital platforms.

Metal Forth follows 2019’s Metal Galaxy and The Other One, their 2023 concept album. For the first time, Babymetal will offer autographed copies of the new album in strictly limited quantities, as well as a box set, alternate cover art versions, LPs, CDs, cassettes, merchandise bundles and more.

Formed in 2010, Babymetal quickly gained popularity in Japan for their explosive live shows. By 2013, they had become a force of their own, opening for Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn, and Lady Gaga, and bringing the ferocity of metal to a global audience. With over 15 years of history and a diehard international following, Babymetal isn’t just a band — they’re a movement redefining what heavy music looks and sounds like. Fronted by three dynamic women — Su-Metal, Moametal, and Momometal — Babymetal has helped reshape the face of metal, inspiring a new generation of women and girls who see themselves in this sound and on these stages.

Country Artist Shea Fisher Teams with Walker Hayes for Playful New Single “Ow In Cowboy”

Country Artist Shea Fisher Teams with Walker Hayes for Playful New Single “Ow In Cowboy”

Australian country music artist Shea Fisher has teamed with Walker Hayes for her new single, “Ow In Cowboy.” Out now alongside its official music video, the pair wrote the song together, and is a playful, high-energy anthem that blends flirtation, humor, and a fresh twist on traditional cowboy charm.

“I wrote ‘Ow in Cowboy’ with my good buddy Walker — and believe it or not, we finished it in under an hour,” says Fisher. “It’s one of those boot-stomping, feel-good songs that came together fast and had us laughing the whole time. I kept the demo tucked away for a few years, but I always felt like it was something the world needed to hear. Because let’s be honest — we could all use a little more fun these days.”

The release follows the success of Shea’s comeback single “Take Me Back to Texas,” a heartfelt ballad that earned widespread praise and marked her re-entry into the country music scene. The song’s music video — filmed on her family’s ranch outside Fort Worth — helped reignite her growing fanbase and catalyzed a wave of new followers across social media.

Born in Australia to rodeo champion parents, Fisher grew up in the arena and on the road — competing in her first rodeo at five and discovering her love for country music during a family move to the U.S. Her early career included six No. 1 hits on Australia’s Aria Country Charts and a Top 20 CMT video for “Don’t Chase Me.” After moving to Nashville and signing with Stroudavarious Records, Fisher’s momentum continued until the label unexpectedly closed. Choosing to remain in the U.S., she planted roots in Texas and built a life grounded in both grit and grace.

In addition to music, Fisher is a thriving entrepreneur. She runs Shea Baby, a children’s fashion line sold in over 2,500 stores nationwide, and Shea Michelle Buckles, a custom silversmith brand known across the rodeo world. Her wellness platform, Fit with Shea, empowers women to feel strong and confident through fitness, nutrition, and style.

Even with a full plate, music never left her heart. In 2024, Fisher made a conscious decision to return to the studio with a renewed sense of honesty, energy, and life experience, fueling her most authentic and dynamic music yet. Since then, she has steadily built momentum with numerous press appearances and standout performances, including singing the national anthem at the Texas Rangers game in June 2025 and captivating 20,000+ fans at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.

“Ow in Cowboy” is one of many singles Fisher has lined up, including the upcoming release of “The Truck,” a country-pop-rocker co-written with Jaron Boyer (Jason Aldean, Rascal Flatts, Dierks Bentley).

Fisher’s story of perseverance and reinvention is an inspiration to women everywhere, proving that it’s never too late to pursue your passion. With a growing fanbase and a sound that is more authentic than ever, she is ready to show the world that her best chapters are just beginning.

Heavy Metal Icon Rob Halford Immortalized with New McFarlane Toys Action Figure

McFarlane Toys has unveiled a Rob Halford action figure, set to be released in August. Music Maniacs Metal Rob Halford (Judas Priest) immortalizes the “Metal God” as a detailed six-inch scale figure with “Music Maniacs”-themed window box packaging. Designed with up to 12 points of articulation for posing and play, the figure features a microphone and base, and art card with numbered certificate of authenticity.

Rob Halford, the “Metal God,” is the legendary frontman of Judas Priest, one of heavy metal’s most influential bands. Since joining in 1973, his powerful voice and iconic style have helped define the genre. Judas Priest, formed in 1969, gained fame with albums like British Steel and Painkiller. Halford briefly left in the ’90s but returned in 2003, solidifying his place in metal history. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.

The band has teamed with Sony Music Vision, Sony Music Entertainment UK, and Epic Records for a feature-length documentary, The Ballad of Judas Priest, that documents their epic journey to the top of rock and roll. Co-directed by documentary filmmaker Sam Dunn and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello in his directorial debut, the film will celebrate the legendary band’s lasting impact on music and culture, with their influence reaching far beyond metal. Featuring unforgettable anthems and pop culture staples like “Breaking the Law” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming,” The Ballad of Judas Priest will capture the passion, resilience, and enduring legacy of a band whose music and story continue to inspire generations.

Soulful Country-Pop Artist Meghan Linsey Releases Fiery New Single “Things You Can’t Unsay”

No. 1 Billboard chart-topping artist and The Voice alum Meghan Linsey releases her newest single, “Things You Can’t Unsay,” available everywhere independently. The song is a fiery, unapologetic anthem for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild after loving the wrong person. Sassy and soulful, the track captures the messy aftermath of a toxic relationship, but it’s also a powerful ode to female empowerment, self-respect, and reclaiming your voice.

“‘Things You Can’t Unsay’ came from a really raw place. It’s about finding the strength to walk away from something that no longer serves you and reclaiming your power in the process. I’ve never felt more confident or connected to my voice, both as an artist and a woman,” Meghan shares.

This release marks a personal and creative evolution. After years of navigating the highs and lows of the spotlight, Meghan is showing up more unapologetically than ever, challenging expectations around womanhood and the music industry, and proving that reinvention isn’t just possible, it’s powerful. With a renewed sense of purpose and artistic freedom, she’s turning the page on what it means to be in your prime.

Linsey is a CMA and ACM-nominated recording artist, celebrated songwriter, and fearless advocate who continues to carve out her lane in the music industry. Known for her powerhouse vocals and genre-blending sound, Meghan first rose to fame as one half of the chart-topping duo Steel Magnolia and later as the groundbreaking runner-up on the eighth season of NBC’s The Voice.

As an independent artist, Linsey is making a powerful comeback with her newest singles “Humble Again” and “Things You Can’t Unsay” – anthems about resilience, reinvention, and the strength it takes to start over. These tracks mark the beginning of a new era for Meghan, one grounded in authenticity and artistic freedom.

In the spring, Meghan performed at Grammys on the Hill in Washington, D.C., using her platform to advocate for creators’ rights. She was also named a 2025 Modern Luxury Nashville Power Player and took the stage at Variety’s Power of Women event in Nashville, where she wowed the crowd with a powerful performance of “Humble Again” and a medley honoring Reba, Sheryl Crow, Kelsea Ballerini, and Mickey Guyton.

Indie Pop Artist MORGXN Releases Emotional New Video for “H O L Y”

Indie-pop artist MORGXN is proud to announce the release of the official music video for his latest single, “H O L Y”. Directed by Neta Ben Ezra, the video features Carl and Leo, a couple who opened their home to share their deeply moving love story.

“Generational love – especially in a state like Tennessee – is just not something I ever grew up seeing,” shares MORGXN. “So it means a lot to mark their story and mine with this video.”

The video brings to life the message of “H O L Y,” a song that celebrates love in all its forms, showcasing the deep connection between two people and the authenticity that comes with vulnerability. The track, written by MORGXN, Jesse Brock and Stephanie Middleton, explores the sacredness of love – not because of perfection, but because of its true, raw beauty.

“H O L Y” is a taste of more new music from MORGXN, with his recent EP HEARTLAND: PART I released on July 4. The EP perfectly encapsulates MORGXN’s ability to create music that feels both personal and universal, speaking to the complexities of relationships and the strength that comes from embracing love, flaws, and all.

With heartfelt songwriting, raw emotion, and a clear vision of what love and home can be, MORGXN continues to establish himself as a powerful storyteller and fearless advocate for authenticity in both art and life. His music, which combines indie-pop sensibilities with soul-baring lyricism, creates space for vulnerability, identity, and connection. As an artist who lives openly and creates fearlessly, he not only shares his truth but also invites others to do the same, inspiring a growing community that sees itself reflected in his work.

MORGXN is known for his breakout hit “Home” (feat. Walk the Moon), which landed in the Top 10 at Alternative Radio. A former Broadway performer (Spring Awakening), he’s played major festivals like Lollapalooza, Firefly, and Hangout, and shared stages with X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey, and Miike Snow. His music has been featured on ABC, HBO, NBC, and PBS, including performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Rising indie singer-songwriter hannah bahng has released her highly anticipated sophomore project, The Misunderstood EP, out now via her independent label Bahng Entertainment.

The Misunderstood EP will include hannah’s latest single “Sweet Satin Boy,” which was officially released this past summer. The song was first introduced during her set at Rolling Stone’s Future of Music SXSW Showcase and throughout The Abysmal Tour in Europe this past spring.

sombr Announces 2026 UK & European Tour Following Global Chart Success

Continuing his worldwide momentum, 20-year-old singer-songwriter, producer, and breakthrough artist of the year sombr will embark on a 2026 UK and European headline tour. The run commences on February 10 in Stockholm, Sweden at Annexet, sees him take over iconic venues such as O2 Academy Brixton in London, UK on March 8, and concludes at 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland on March 16. Speaking to overwhelming international demand, he will notably be performing his most expansive and extensive set yet.

sombr soundtracks summer 2025 with “back to friends.” It recently vaulted to #1 on Spotify’s Global Weekly Chart as the “#1 most-streamed song in the world this week” with over 540 million total streams and counting. Plus, it has held #1 on the Billboard Alternative Radio chart for a staggering five weeks. It notably reached the top spot after 10 weeks, marking his first #1 and the quickest Alternative Airplay accession for a musician making their debut on the tally in nearly a decade.

It’s no wonder VMAN recently crowned him “Gen Z’s new favorite indie rockstar.”

Meanwhile, magnetic hit “undressed” also continues to climb the charts, approaching 400 million streams as it reaches the Top 10 at Top 40 Radio. His newest release “we never dated” is following in the same footsteps, and saw sombr take the cover of Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist upon release.

From sharing his first taste of music online in 2021, to quickly garnering millions of monthly listeners and penning concurrent chart-topping singles, sombr’s rise has been meteoric. The breakout artist has spent the last few months selling out venues around the world, making his television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and captivating a global fanbase through his vulnerable storytelling and steady stream of new music.

After selling out his North American and European headline tour pre-sale instantly, sombr will perform at venues around the world this summer/fall, including at New York’s Gramercy Theatre, back-to-back nights at New York’s Brooklyn Steel and Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre and a show at Los Angeles’ Fonda Theatre. sombr will also take his dynamic live show to Australia and New Zealand in December. The dates sold out instantly upon presale and include four slots at Spilt Milk Festival, nights in Sydney, Melbourne and more.

A New York-native raised on the Lower East Side, sombr-born Shane Boose-started making music in his bedroom while studying classical music as a student at the prestigious public school, LaGuardia High School. His breakout hit “Caroline” (2022) took the internet by storm, and he has since released a series of EPs and singles, climbing to over 46 million Spotify monthly listeners. Now based in Los Angeles, sombr continues to explore young romance and heartbreak through his music-all of which is self-written and released via Warner Records.
