Nova Twins Unleash Ferocious New Single ‘Piranha’ Ahead of Upcoming Album ‘Parasites & Butterflies’

0

Alt-rock powerhouses Nova Twins return with feral new single “Piranha,” taken from their hotly anticipated third album, Parasites & Butterflies, out August 29th, 2025 via Marshall Records.

Following recent singles “Monsters” and “Soprano”, the track dives into murkier waters. Anchored by snarling bass, razor-sharp riffs, and fiercely charged vocals, “Piranha” channels unrest and unease, capturing the pressure-cooker atmosphere of the world around us.

With “Piranha”, Nova Twins continue to carve their own path, unafraid to challenge, question, and provoke. The track offers a powerful glimpse of what’s to come on Parasites & Butterflies, an album that promises to bridge chaos and beauty, strength and vulnerability.

With nods to the raw, chaotic style of The Blair Witch Project, the video captures the ominous, predatory nature at the heart of “Piranha”.

The album was recorded in Vermont, USA, with legendary producer Rich Costey (Foo FightersMuseDeftonesSam Fender). From front to back, it’s a genre-shattering statement of intent, balancing dancefloor detonators with moments of raw introspection. Full of contrast and scale, it reveals Nova Twins at their most expansive.

Nova Twins have also announced a UK and EU headline tour for September and October 2025. Following a packed summer of 19 festival appearances, including another return to Glastonbury and support dates with Biffy Clyro, the tour kicks off in the Netherlands on September 17th and wraps up in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on October 18th, marking their biggest hometown show to date.

Foreigner Reimagines ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ in Spanish with Joy Huerta on Duet ‘Quiero Saber Si Es Amor’

0

Foreigner is paying tribute to its Latin fans with the Spanish-language release of its most beloved hit with “Quiero Saber Si Es Amor.” The emotional duet is a powerful reimagining of this chart topping classic, “I Want To Know What Love Is.” This iconic duet features Luis Maldonado, FOREIGNER’s own guitarist and vocalist, alongside acclaimed Mexican singer-songwriter Joy Huerta of the GRAMMY award-winning duo Jesse & Joy, out now.

The single will be released in two versions – one entirely in Spanish and a bilingual Spanish-English edition – marking FOREIGNER’s first official foray into Spanish-language recordings. The release comes as the band just wrapped its 2025 South American tour, which included stops in Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and beyond.

The Spanish adaptation of “Quiero Saber Si Es Amor” was created in collaboration with Warner Chappell Music songwriter and Chilean music producer Cris Zalles. His creativity was key in preserving the song’s original sentiment while adding a fresh flair that will resonate with Spanish-speaking audiences.

“We have been embraced by our Latino fans for decades,” said guitarist and vocalist Luis Maldonado. “Recording these songs in Spanish is our way of thanking them and sharing the music in a more intimate and personal way.”
Joy Huerta recalls a moment in the studio with FOREIGNER founding member, songwriter, and producer Mick Jones. She asked Jones, “What is love?” to which Jones replied, “Love is a sentiment – and so much more.” She adds, “That moment speaks deeply to Latinos, and for me – having grown up with this song – recording it now with FOREIGNER in my own language is truly incredible.”

Joy Huerta was just named as the first Mexican woman to be nominated for the 2025 Tony Award for Best Original Score for her work on “Real Women Have Curves: The Musical,” currently playing at the James Earl Jones Theatre on Broadway. With “Quiero Saber Si Es Amor,” Huerta brings her powerhouse vocals to the collaboration, blending seamlessly with Maldonado’s breathtaking performance.

Alan Doyle’s Musical Comedy ‘Tell Tale Harbour’ Sails from Charlottetown to Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre

0

Co-written by and starring Great Big Sea’s Alan Doyle, the musical comedy Tell Tale Harbour made its smash-hit world premiere at Confederation Centre of The Arts in Charlottetown, PEI, in 2022. It returned to PEI in a revised production this summer – June 14 to August 29, 2025. Then they’ll pack up the entire production and bring it to Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre for the show’s “mainland” debut, September 23 – November 2, 2025. 

Tickets to the Toronto engagement are onsale now at mirvish.com or by calling 1.800.461.3333.

Deep in the heart of Atlantic Canada sits a small but proud harbour eager to keep its community together. With the sudden closing of their precious fish plant, this once bountiful village is looking for a miracle. When an opportunity arises to secure a state-of-the-art frozen french fry factory — and the many jobs it would create — the entire community is galvanized into action. 

There’s just one major obstacle — to secure the factory, the harbour must have a full-time resident doctor. Realizing this might be their last chance to save their beloved home, the townspeople come together to spin the truth and put on a show to charm an interim doctor into moving there permanently. 

Tell Tale Harbour is packed with all the songs and laughs we expect from the best East Coast kitchen party. It is as relatable as it is ridiculous, as hilarious as it is heartfelt, and celebrates the people, the trials, and the triumphs of living in a small town on the edge of the mighty Atlantic Ocean. 

Based on the screenplay The Grand Seduction by Ken Scott,Tell Tale Harbour is co-created by Adam Brazier, Alan Doyle, Bob Foster and Edward Riche. 

Alan Doyle stars as Frank. The cast also includes AP Bautista (Marie), Karen Burthwright (Louise), Joel Cumber (Gus), Stephen Guy-McGrath (Gord, Understudy Yvon), Jacob Hemphill (Charles), Susan Henley (Vera), Gabrielle Jones (Gina), Connor Lucas (Swing), Melissa MacKenzie (Kathleen), Jamie McRoberts (Swing), Laurie Murdoch (Yvon), Kale Penny (Dr. Chris), Kristen Pottle (Swing, Dance Captain), Daniel Williston (Henry, Understudy Frank), and Alison Woolridge (Barbara). 

The creative team includes Direction by Brian Hill, Music Direction by Bob Foster, Choreography by Robin Calvert, Set and Props Design by Michael Gianfrancesco, Costume Design by Joyce Padua, Lighting Design by Davida Tkach, Sound Design by Josh Liebert. The creative team also includes Morgan Saulnier (Associate Music Director), Kristen Pottle (Associate Choreographer), Brandon Kleiman (Associate Set Designer), Lani Martel (Stage Manager), Sandi Becker (Assistant Stage Manager), and Teagan Keith (Apprentice Stage Manager). 

‘Dancing with Muddy’ Tells Jerry Portnoy’s Wild Journey from Chicago Streets to Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, and Beyond

0

Jerry Portnoy grew up in Chicago hearing the blues being played outside his father’s rug store on famed Maxwell Street during the late 1940s and early ’50s. 

After dropping out of college, he became immersed in the colorful world of pool hustlers like Cornbread Red, and Minnesota Fats as he managed the largest pool hall in Chicago. During a stint as a paratrooper early in the Vietnam war, he applied for discharge as a conscientious objector, and lived in San Francisco during 1967’s “summer of love.” While bumming around Europe the following year, Portnoy heard the blues again on a record by Sonny Boy Williamson and instantly became obsessed with mastering blues harmonica.

He returned to Chicago and in 1974 he was playing in small Black clubs at night when Muddy Waters plucked him from his day job at Cook County Jail to fill the historic harmonica chair in his fabled band. Eric Clapton followed suit in 1991. In a career that took him from ghetto taverns to the White House and the Royal Albert Hall, he went from the raggedy vans and cheap roadside motels of the blues world to the private jets and five-star hotels of the rock world. Between those two very different gigs was a struggle to survive the vagaries of the music business and the pressures of life on the road. In a remarkable life, he also assisted in surgery, lodged in a Moroccan house of ill repute, and dined at Giorgio Armani’s. 

Dancing with Muddy details the surprising, lively, and sometimes bumpy ride of a blues harmonica legend.

Reba McEntire Brings Heart and Humor to Realtor.com’s New ‘Nearly Home’ Campaign

0

 Buying a home in America has never felt more emotionally fraught or economically complex, and that is why today, Realtor.com is launching a new campaign, “Nearly Home,” which features beloved country music star and sitcom veteran Reba McEntire to offer something many homebuyers haven’t felt in years: optimism. 

“With this campaign, our goal is to make home search feel more human, more hopeful and less overwhelming—especially for a generation of buyers who’ve been navigating a complex market,” said Mickey Neuberger, chief marketing officer at Realtor.com.. “As the most trusted brand in real estate and the brand most trusted by real estate professionals, partnering with Reba McEntire was an easy choice. She’s got the trust, the charm and the boots-on-the-ground wisdom to bring a genuine sense of reassurance, and a little humor, to our message. She helps us remind people that finding a home shouldn’t feel impossible—it should feel like coming home.”

Reba McEntire, America’s Queen of Country and sitcom legend, brings her one-of-a-kind warmth and comedic charm to Realtor.com ‘s series of sitcom-inspired ads which will be the biggest real estate campaign of the year. The campaign highlights the relatable ups and downs of the home buying and selling process, making it feel more accessible and less daunting. Drawing from real homebuyers’ experiences, the ads offer digestible solutions to common problems, providing viewers with the tools they need to take the next step in their home search with confidence.

“As I learned more about Realtor.com, I saw how they have amazing tools for home buyers and sellers, are the most trusted site by real estate professionals and have over 500,000 new listings a month – and I was sold… pun intended!” says Reba McEntire. “A home brings a sense of comfort, relief and belonging that everyone deserves. This new campaign will help people become more positive, energized and hopeful about their home search. When it comes to something as important as your home, you want the best team on your side.”

The first episode of this campaign, called “The One without the Break-Up,” highlights the very real drama that often comes along with buying a home. In this episode, a young couple is faced with common challenges experienced by home buyers that often test relationships. As they argue over their need for “more space,” Reba enters with relatable real-talk to help uncomplicate the couple’s search and home-buying process with Realtor.com. In the end of the episode, Reba’s tough-love charm and Realtor.com’s best-in-class tools like RealListings, RealCommute, RealChoice Selling, and RealView Maps turn real-world tension into real solutions, showing that the right help can make all the difference.

Realtor.com’s Nearly Home campaign taps into the aspirations of home buyers at a time when homeownership remains a defining goal for many Americans. A 2024 Realtor.com survey revealed that 75% of Americans believe homeownership is an essential aspect of the American dream, and nearly two out of three Americans (64%) consider it one of their top life goals.

This campaign will launch with a cross-channel push which is anticipated to reach 1-in-2 Americans. “Nearly Home” is Realtor.com’s largest brand investment in its nearly 30-year history—and a direct response to the anxiety, confusion and doubt that define today’s housing market.

This campaign builds on the success of Realtor.com’s most recent campaign, which leaned into their status as the leading app real estate professionals rely on and showcases expert insights and best-in-class tools.
