Black Label Society announce their new studio album ‘Engines of Demolition’, out March 27, 2026 and available for pre-order now. The record marks the band’s first full-length release since 2021 and arrives alongside the new single and video “Name In Blood,” out now. Writing for the album began in 2022 during Zakk Wylde’s time on the Pantera Celebration World Tour and continued through 2025, culminating in “Ozzy’s Song,” written as a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Wylde says, “Engines of Demolition is a sincere ride through the peaks and valleys of the last four years from start to finish, some of the highest highs and lowest lows and everything in between.”

In support of the album, Black Label Society have announced U.K. headline dates with support from Venom Inc. and will also launch their first North American tour since 2021 beginning February 26. The touring plans accompany a 13-track album that balances aggressive riffs with reflective moments, documenting a multi-year writing period shaped by the road, loss, and perseverance.

Saint Harison Returns With “bad” As 2026 Opener And New Creative Turn

0

Southampton-born artist Saint Harison releases “bad,” his first new single of 2026. Written with Grammy-nominated duo NovaWav and songwriter Rissi, the track documents the aftermath of a breakup and the impulse toward vindication, delivered through pointed lyrics and a direct vocal performance. The song follows his recent release “ghosted” and presents a contrasting emotional stance, grounded in confrontation rather than restraint. “I wrote ‘bad’ with one of my favorite songwriting producer duos, NovaWav,” Saint says. “I remember ranting about getting dumped a week before Valentine’s Day. That’s where ‘bad’ started, and now the song feels like a whole alter ego to me.”

Sonically, “bad” draws from Saint Harison’s R and B and soul influences, including Jazmine Sullivan, pairing layered production with a rhythm-forward structure. The release arrives after a period of growing visibility that includes being sampled by Dave on “175 Months” from ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’, public support from Justin Bieber, SZA, Elton John, and Kehlani, and the release of “ghosted,” whose video was directed by DEADHORSES. Saint Harison continues to expand his catalog following his debut EP ‘lost a friend’, which has surpassed 200 million streams worldwide.

India Ramey Releases “Welcome To My Villain Era” And Details Forthcoming Album ‘Villain Era’

0

Nashville-based outlaw country artist India Ramey releases the new single “Welcome To My Villain Era,” now out via Copoco and Blue Elan Records. The song also serves as the title track for her upcoming album ‘Villain Era’, scheduled for release on May 8, 2026. Built around fiddle, twang-forward guitars, and a classic honky-tonk rhythm, the track centers on personal boundaries and self-definition. “If my boundaries offend you,” Ramey says, “I’ll happily play the villain in that story.”

‘Villain Era’ was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Eric Corne and features contributions from Eugene Edwards on guitar, Chris Masterson on guitar, and Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle. Written entirely by Ramey, the album follows her 2024 release ‘Baptized By The Blaze’ and reflects a shift toward autonomy and clarity. Ramey describes the project directly, saying, “This album is the ‘healed’ me. I spent years as a people pleaser, not knowing how to have boundaries. I lost sight of who I really was. These songs are about reclaiming that.”

The Deadmans Introduce Alt-Pop Vision With Debut Single “Nice Kid” Video

0

London-based international alt-pop newcomers The Deadmans release their debut single “Nice Kid,” now out via all major streaming services, accompanied by an official video. Written and recorded across Paris, London, Brooklyn, Silverlake, and Brunswick Heads, the track features drums recorded at Up Top Studios in St Albans, with additional production and mixing by Jake Black and mastering by Ruairi O’Flaherty at Nomograph Mastering. The song introduces the band’s lo-fi, groove-led approach, pairing intimate vocal delivery with a restrained but insistent rhythmic foundation.

Lyricist LaurenSage Browning describes the song as rooted in lived experience, saying, “I spent several years of my twenties trying to shapeshift myself to match the rooms I was in instead of breaking down the door and running to places where I could exist without all the magic tricks.” The accompanying video, directed by Harry Deadman and LaurenSage Browning and shot on a VHS handycam, was filmed in Browning’s hometown in Kansas and stars Nikki DeParis. Harry Deadman explains, “The video takes the central theme of ‘Nice Kid’ and digs into LaurenSage’s midwest roots… we opted for minimal production to replicate the feel of 90s and 2000s home videos,” visually extending the song’s focus on displacement, escape, and self-recognition.

Aquakultre Shares “Make That Change” With Measha Brueggergosman-Lee Ahead Of ‘1783’

0

Halifax singer, rapper, composer, and storyteller Aquakultre, also known as Lance Sampson, releases the new single “Make That Change,” featuring Juno Award-winning soprano Measha Brueggergosman-Lee. The track arrives in advance of Aquakultre’s fourth studio album ‘1783’, due February 6, 2026 via Next Door Records. The album brings together production from Erin Costelo, mixing by Qmillion, and mastering by Chris Athens, continuing the momentum following Aquakultre’s 2023 Polaris Music Prize longlisted album ‘Don’t Trip’.

“Make That Change” is accompanied by a lyric video shot by John Walsh and centers on cycles of violence and silence within Black communities. Sampson says, “There was always a tension between the Square and Mulgrave Park, which are both predominantly Black, and between East Preston and North Preston. As the younger generation, I feel like we were at a loss. Even now, I’m one degree separated from what happens on the street and who’s been affected by it. This song is a question particularly posed to Black men of my generation. It’s an optimistic plea for us to start thinking about the violence in our communities and how generational trauma is catching up to us, and how we are reacting to each other without love and connection.”

XCOMM Drop “Fake ID” Hardcore Punk Single As Venice Beach Breakout Moment

0

Venice Beach hardcore punk band XCOMM release the new single “Fake ID,” now available on streaming platforms alongside an official music video. Written by frontman Michael Gatto, the track draws directly from being turned away from under-21 shows and channels that experience into a fast, aggressive song built around beatdown rhythms and sharp pacing. “Fake ID rips! It’s about getting rejected from shows for being under 21 when all you want to do is check out a band,” Gatto says. “The video shoot was amazing. It was so funny to walk around town dressed as grandmas for a day. I thought we looked great and I love how the video concludes with us walking into the ocean.”

The release coincides with a major live moment for the band, as XCOMM support Foo Fighters at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles for a sold-out charity concert benefiting Hope The Mission and Los Angeles Mission, held on Dave Grohl’s birthday. “Fake ID” is the second single from XCOMM’s upcoming debut album ‘Time To Burn’, produced by Ross Robinson and coming via Blowed Out Records. The song locks frustration into a compact, high-impact release that hits hard and moves fast, marking a confident step forward for a band gaining attention through live shows and sharp, direct recordings.

Armando Christian Pérez, globally known as Pitbull, invites disruption on a global scale as a GRAMMY Award-winning independent international superstar, education ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. With billions of audio streams and video views, along with hundreds of gold and platinum certifications, his career stands as one of the most impressive in music history. Pitbull’s signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” grito (yell) is one of fewer than 40 sound trademarks protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Beyond music, Pitbull has built a diverse and expanding business portfolio. He founded the Mr. 305 record label and Voli 305 Vodka, and launched Globalization, a SiriusXM channel featuring global rhythmic hits. He recently made history by partnering with Florida International University (FIU) to rename its football stadium “Pitbull Stadium,” the first athletic venue in the U.S. named after an artist. Pitbull is also a passionate advocate for education. He co-founded SLAM! (Sports Leadership Arts Management), a tuition-free public charter school network recognized globally as a leading education organization, currently serving over 10,000 students across 14 schools in the U.S. In 2024, Pitbull teamed up with rock legend Bon Jovi for the powerful track “Now or Never,” blending his signature high-energy sound with Bon Jovi’s anthemic rock style. The unexpected collaboration quickly gained global traction, further proving Pitbull’s ability to transcend genres and generations. In 2025, Pitbull launched a high-energy European tour, igniting arenas across the continent and drawing massive crowds — including a viral explosion of fans proudly wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s” in honor of the artist’s signature look and larger-than-life persona. This fan movement has taken social media by storm, celebrating Pitbull’s iconic image with humor, creativity, and unity. With no signs of slowing down, Pitbull is continuing his global tour, with Australia as the next electrifying stop on his worldwide journey. Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions around the world, leaving a profound cultural impact and cementing a legacy that spans entertainment, business, education, and beyond.

For the last decade plus, the words “YEAHHH,” “OKAYY,” and “WHATTT” have been synonymous with multi-

platinum, Grammy award winning artist Lil Jon. He has been one of the most prominent figures in music and pop

culture alike, performing for hundreds of thousands of fans with Usher & Ludacris, Afrojack, Steve Aoki, Pitbull, TLC

(on FOX’s American Idol), Becky G, Offset, LMFAO, Too $hort and E-40 just to name a few. Known best for his role in creating and popularizing the southern movement and lifestyle known as Crunk, Lil Jon delivered a string of regional hits (in the 90’s) with the East Side Boyz eventually becoming a national force in 2001 thanks to the tracks “Bia Bia” and “Put Yo Hood Up.” Their iconic albums include We Still Crunk!, Put Yo Hood Up, Kings of Crunk and Crunk Juice.

Lil Jon has a long list of platinum-selling productions, crafting groundbreaking hits for a diverse array of artists such as E-40, Usher, Ciara, The Ying Yang Twins, Ice Cube and more. He’s also worked with will.i.am, Miley Cyrus, Britney

Spears, Bret Michaels, Travis Barker, Jennifer Lopez, Machine Gun Kelly, DJ Snake and many more. As an artist, he has sold millions of records as the frontman of Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz, whose smash hits “Get Low” and “What U Gon’ Do” have been among some of the biggest crossover hip-hop records. His consistent hitmaking has earned him legions of fans from Los Angeles to New York to the Midwest and of course his native region, the South. He has also traveled the globe DJing worldwide in places such as, but not limited to France, Germany, South Korea, China, India, Dubai, London, Mexico and Australia. Lil Jon has won 2 BMI Songwriter of the Year awards as well as scored eleven Billboard Awards (for the two hit Usher tracks “Yeah!” and “Lovers and Friends”), a Grammy, a Radio Music Award, a BET award, two MTV Video Music Awards, and an American Music Award.
