Oliver Tree returns with “Flowers,” a sharp left turn and a bold step forward from his upcoming fourth studio album, ‘Love You Madly, Hate You Badly,’ arriving this Spring. The Los Angeles-based genre disruptor continues to blur the edges of pop, alternative, and experimental production, refusing to settle into any predictable lane. “Flowers” lands with the kind of calculated unpredictability that has defined his entire career.
The single follows “Superhero” and “Joyride,” expanding the sonic palette of an album recorded across seven continents and 80 countries. From Africa to China to Afghanistan, Tree built this record on movement and immersion, pulling global textures into his already elastic sound. This is not a casual rollout. It is a fully realized creative arc unfolding in real time.
The music video, conceptualized by Tree himself, leans into his signature deadpan absurdity. One moment he is dancing on an airplane wing in a full pilot uniform. The next he is vacuuming the cabin with meticulous focus. It is surreal, controlled chaos delivered with a straight face, and it reinforces his ability to fuse performance art with pop spectacle.
Oliver Tree does not release songs quietly. “Flowers” is another reminder that he operates on his own blueprint, pushing genre lines while building an album shaped by global travel and restless experimentation. The fourth chapter is loading, and he is steering it exactly where he wants it to go.
Goose just leveled up Viva El Gonzo. The destination festival returns May 7–9, 2026 in San José del Cabo, Mexico, with an expanded lineup that now includes LEISURE, The Disco Biscuits, Midnight Generation, Stuart Bogie, City Of The Sun, and Ruthie Bandit. Three nights in Cabo, three nights of Goose, and a deep bench of exploratory artists ready to turn the desert into a groove-soaked oasis.
Anchored by two Goose sets each night, the weekend also features My Morning Jacket, Cory Wong, LP Giobbi, a Jim James acoustic set, The California Honeydrops, and more. This is not a passive festival. It is a choose-your-own-adventure built around improvisation, movement, and discovery. Goose are curating a world, and they are playing at the center of it.
The heart of the experience is El Ganzo Oasis, where stages rise from lush tropical terrain just steps from the Sea of Cortez. When night falls, the energy shifts to Crania, a beachside club transformed into a neon-drenched art and music playground. Daylight means snorkeling, hiking, horseback riding, and diving into the culture of San José del Cabo. Night means rhythm, color, and sweat under the stars.
Travel packages and tickets are on sale now, with hotel options ranging from boutique stays to all-inclusive resorts within five miles of the grounds. A limited number of music-only passes are also available. Viva El Gonzo is not just a lineup drop. It is Goose building a destination, setting the vibe, and inviting fans to step fully inside it.
LA-born artist Ando San continues his shape-shifting run with the new single “iLL,” following “Thick Neck” and last year’s ‘OH KAY’ EP. Known for moving from instrumental math rock to jazz-leaning hip hop and boom-bap funk fusion, he now leans fully into the collision of his metal and rap roots. The result is tense, heavy, and rhythmically sharp.
“‘iLL’ is a song that highlights how trying to build a career as an independent artist requires so much work and so many decisions to be made all the time, that it can physically make you unwell,” he shares. “Musically, this song is a culmination of my metal and hip hop roots… I actually started out as a metal vocalist before I was a rapper.” The track brings that history forward with force.
Chichester alt rock trio Viva Los Villains step forward with “Hunter’s Moon,” a brooding, guitar-led single that sharpens their presence in the UK scene. Blending distorted riffs with indie introspection and a touch of folk warmth, the track captures the quiet fallout of love with a steady, slow-burning pull. It feels focused and fully realized.
Built on driving rhythms and emotionally exposed vocals, “Hunter’s Moon” leans into honesty over theatrics. The line “Don’t call me baby / One time it was love…” lands with unfiltered directness, tracing the aftershock of a relationship that still echoes. The chorus circles back in hypnotic fashion, mirroring the emotional loop at the heart of the song.
Formed in 2024, Viva Los Villains fuse rock, country, and indie into a textured, guitar-driven sound rooted in storytelling. With Tom Marfleet, Jonathan Ordidge, and Aaron Bailey at the core, the band continue building momentum through songs that balance grit and reflection. “Hunter’s Moon” stands as a confident marker of where they are headed next.
Austin roots rock mainstays The Band Of Heathens celebrate 20 years with the release of ‘Country Sides’, out now. Self-produced with longtime collaborator Jim Vollentine, the album is a guitar-driven, piano-pounding statement from a band that has built its career on its own terms. It arrives with the single “Lead Don’t Follow,” premiered by SPIN, and a growing tour schedule across the U.S.
The record lands at a milestone moment. Their recording of “Hurricane” is now certified platinum, “Take The Cake” sits at #2 on the Americana chart after three weeks in the Top 5 and is Top 40 at AAA, and the band continues to chart its own course. “There’s the conventional way and then there’s our way,” the band shares. “Finding our own voice and standing firm in what made us different was the only way to have longevity.”
Founded in Austin by Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist, the group has moved from barroom stages to national venues while maintaining full creative control. ‘Country Sides’ was tracked in just over a week at their studio, The Finishing School, and features standouts including “She’s The Night,” “Lead Don’t Follow,” and “Pleasing People.” The sound is loose, lived-in, and grounded in country, soul, and rock and roll tradition.
The ‘Country Sides’ Tour kicks off March 6 with a homecoming show at ACL Live in Austin before heading to Chicago, Atlanta, Indianapolis, New Orleans, and more. Two decades in, The Band Of Heathens are still pushing forward, celebrating endurance, craft, and a fiercely independent spirit that defines their legacy.
Belfast indie rock quartet Monday’s Child step into a new chapter with “Over Again,” a bold, guitar-driven single that follows their debut EP ‘Modern Affair’. Swells of distortion meet a soaring, radio-ready chorus, capturing the tension between devotion and doubt. The band sound energized and fully in stride.
Produced by Darragh Tibbs, the track leans into the chemistry the group have built on stages across Ireland. Touring alongside acts like Swim School and CRAWLERS sharpened their dynamics and expanded their reach, and that momentum pulses through every hook. “Over Again” feels immediate, emotionally charged, and built to echo back from a crowd.
Lead singer Jen calls the song “a deeply introspective and personal look at my doubts and fears in the face of a pure love.” The band filmed the video with Anna Burnett at The Fairy Glen in Rostrevor, chasing a sense of youthful mischief and freedom. The result is vibrant and magnetic, a statement of growth from a band clearly ascending.
Multiplatinum global pop superstar Hilary Duff releases her sixth studio album, ‘luck… or something’, out now via Atlantic Records. The 11-track collection includes lead singles “Mature” and “Roommates” and arrives alongside the official visual for opening track “Weather For Tennis.” Co-written by Duff and produced by Matthew Koma and Brian Phillips, the album marks a bold new chapter in her catalog.
“There’s that question of whether women can have it all, and through this process I learned I had to sacrifice some things in order to put the record first,” shares Duff. “As hard as that is, I still believe it’s okay to choose yourself sometimes and do what scares the hell out of you. Carving out the time to make an album after all these years was incredibly powerful for me, and now I can’t wait to share it with the world.”
Critics have responded with enthusiasm. Rolling Stone calls it “a cohesive, no-skips record that offers an update on Duff’s life,” while Glamour writes, “The sense you get listening to ‘luck… or something’ is that Duff is firmly in the driver’s seat.” Across its runtime, the album explores motherhood, marriage, growth, and self-reflection with sharp songwriting and polished pop production.
The album was introduced by “Mature,” praised by Vogue for pushing Duff’s sound forward while staying true to her voice. The Lauren Dunn-directed video has already drawn millions of views. Follow-up single “Roommates,” directed by Matty Peacock, continues climbing at Pop and Hot AC radio, with Rolling Stone declaring it “10 OUT OF 10…one of her best songs.” The record moves with confidence and emotional depth.
Duff celebrates the release with “the lucky me tour,” her first full-scale global headline run in nearly two decades. The tour begins June 21 in West Palm Beach and spans seven countries through February 2027, with multiple second nights added in Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, London, Vancouver, and Mexico City due to demand. Tickets are on sale now.

Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Houston hip hop artist Don Toliver delivers “CREEPIN’,” an original song for ‘Scream 7’, expanding his cinematic run with a dark, pulse-heavy anthem. Produced by Don Toliver alongside BNYX and 206DEREK, the track lands as part of a month-long rollout of original music tied to the franchise’s latest chapter.
The release follows Toliver’s chart-topping album ‘OCTANE’, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 with 162K units moved in its first week and 423 million global streams. The project also opened at #1 globally on Spotify and Apple Music, marking a major milestone in his ascent. It stands as one of the year’s most dominant openings in hip hop.
Momentum continues at the single level. “E85” and “Body” have both surpassed 50 million global streams and landed on the Billboard Hot 100. “E85” sits at #4 on TikTok’s Top 50 with more than 448 million video views and over 570,000 user creations, while “Body” has generated 296 million views and more than 118,000 creations. The numbers speak loudly.
‘Scream 7’, directed by Kevin Williamson, arrives in theatres, 4DX, ScreenX, premium large formats and IMAX on February 27, 2026. The film stars Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Isabel May and more, continuing the Ghostface legacy with five original songs rolling out across February, including Toliver’s “CREEPIN’.”
Vancouver grunge pop four-piece Buddie hit New York City next month for a showcase at New Colossus Festival, celebrating Crafted Sounds’ 10-Year Anniversary. The band takes the stage March 6 at Parkside Lounge, joining labelmates BRNDA, Aunt Katrina, and Silver Car Crash for a stacked international bill that runs deep into the night.
Ahead of the trip, Buddie shared digicam footage of “Golden,” filmed at their ‘Glass’ release show at Green Auto in Vancouver. The clip captures the band in full fuzzed-out form, guitars shimmering and drums pushing forward with urgency. It is a raw snapshot of a group fully locked in.
Led by Philadelphian-turned-Vancouverite Dan Forrest, Buddie channel ’90s alternative touchstones like Built To Spill and Nada Surf into sharp, hook-heavy songs grounded in environmental and social awareness. RANGE magazine called them a “quietly essential presence in Vancouver’s grunge-pop landscape,” and ‘Glass’ carries that weight with confidence and punch.
The eight-song, 25-minute album filters city-life anxiety through thick distortion and melodic sweetness. Singles “Stressed in Paradise” and “In the Glass Shell” take on gig work and digital overload with grit and heart. It is a record that hits hard and lingers long after the last chord fades.
Canadian blues rock trio Something Unto Nothing return with a remastered and expanded edition of their self-titled debut, ‘Something Unto Nothing’, out now on vinyl for the first time via Crown X Recordings. Fronted by Juno Award winner Sass Jordan, alongside multi-instrumentalist Brian Tichy and bassist Michael Devin, the record captures a band locked into the groove and pushing air the old-school way.
Originally released in 2013, the album roars back with updated sonics courtesy of remastering engineer Thiago Lima at Iguana Studios in Toronto. The chemistry traces back to 2010, when Jordan reunited with Tichy after their work on her 1994 album Rats. The first song written, “Burned,” sparked the sessions and established the album’s gritty blues-rock pulse.
“Brian and I have a fantastic creative partnership. There’s a constant flow of inspiration when we’re together, songs just pour out,” says Jordan. She continues, “Every track on this album holds echoes of the music we grew up loving. It’s all the flavors you recognize, but reimagined into something fresh and alive. We’re not reinventing rock & roll. We’re celebrating it.” That spirit runs through every track with undeniable fire.
Recorded over two focused weeks in a mountain shack in Canyon Country, the album thrives on live-off-the-floor energy. Tichy sums it up: “For those who like to look life in the face… for those who move at another pace… Real grooves. Real performances. Real rock.” The deluxe limited signed package features a flame-colored LP, CD with bonus tracks, signed flat, custom guitar pick, and exclusive tote, available through the band’s webstore.
