Hardcore innovators Turnstile have unleashed a vibrant new music video for “Light Design,” a standout track from their critically acclaimed new album ‘Never Enough’. Directed by the band’s own Brendan Yates and Pat McCrory, the visual serves as a victory lap following the announcement that Turnstile has secured five nominations for the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. The group has made history as the first artist ever to be nominated across the Rock, Alternative, and Metal categories in a single year, with nods for “Best Rock Album,” “Best Rock Song,” “Best Rock Performance,” “Best Alternative Music Performance,” and “Best Metal Performance.” Produced by Yates and recorded between Los Angeles and their native Baltimore, ‘Never Enough’ represents a restless, genre-defying evolution that cements the band’s status as a transformative force in modern music. Fans can further explore this creative era through the companion film ‘Turnstile: Never Enough’, currently streaming on demand.
Eric Coquin Poirier Debuts The Harp Reactor One-Man Band Innovation
Now, here is a fascinating intersection of engineering and pure musical obsession. Imagine a world where a standard harmonica just isn’t enough, so you decide to build a twelve-chambered wind beast called the Harp Reactor that plays like a futuristic concertina. Eric Coquin Poirier isn’t just a one-man band; he’s a mad scientist of sound, meticulously hand-crafting the very tools he uses to redefine the limits of solo performance. It is a brilliant, slightly eccentric look at what happens when a musician refuses to accept the constraints of off-the-shelf gear and instead builds their own sonic universe from the ground up.
Gov’t Mule Announces 2026 Tour Dates Including Co-Headline Run With Joe Bonamassa
Gov’t Mule has unveiled the first wave of their 2026 touring schedule, headlined by a highly anticipated summer co-promotion with blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa. This marks the first time the two longtime collaborators will officially tour together, with eight joint dates scheduled from late July through mid-August. The band’s spring itinerary also includes a special “Mile High Mule” performance at Denver’s Mission Ballroom and a headline slot at Joe Bonamassa’s Sound Wave Beach Weekend in Florida. Frontman Warren Haynes expressed his excitement for the pairing, noting that while they have shared the stage many times over the years, this dedicated run represents a new milestone for both artists.
Before the summer trek, Haynes remains incredibly prolific with a series of diverse projects, including the annual Island Exodus “concert-cation” in Jamaica featuring John Scofield and the 33rd annual Christmas Jam in Asheville. Fans can also look forward to a remastered 10th-anniversary reissue of Haynes’s debut solo album, ‘Tales of Ordinary Madness’, arriving January 30th via Megaforce Records. To support that release, Haynes will embark on an intimate 11-date solo acoustic tour in February, followed by a run with the Warren Haynes Band in March.

Bright Eyes Announce 21st Anniversary Shows For ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’ And ‘Digital Ash In A Digital Urn’
Bright Eyes have announced a landmark series of 21st-anniversary shows to celebrate their two era-defining albums released on the same day in 2005: ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’ and ‘Digital Ash in a Digital Urn’. This summer, the trio of Conor Oberst, Mike Mogis, and Nathaniel Walcott will perform both albums in their entirety during three massive headline dates at some of the most hallowed venues in the United States. ‘I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning’, a heartland rock masterpiece featuring tracks like “First Day Of My Life,” will be paired each night with the moody, electronic-leaning companion ‘Digital Ash in a Digital Urn’, showcasing the dual creative peaks of the band’s most prolific period.
To make these events even more special, Bright Eyes will be joined by a revolving cast of longtime friends and legendary supporting acts. Tilly and the Wall will join them at Red Rocks, while the Hollywood Bowl show features The Moldy Peaches, and Built To Spill will support at Forest Hills Stadium. Conor Oberst shared his excitement for the run, noting that while he traditionally dislikes birthdays, he couldn’t pass up the chance to celebrate the “coming of age” of these two records with his bandmates and fans. The performances are designed as a “magical thing” that brings together the acoustic folk and dark, atmospheric post-punk elements that re-wrote the indie rock playbook two decades ago.
Tickets for these exclusive anniversary shows go on sale this Friday, December 12, at 10 am local time, with an artist presale beginning on Wednesday, December 10. These three dates represent the first time the band has dedicated a tour to the full performance of these specific albums, offering fans a rare opportunity to see deep cuts and hits alike in a singular, continuous live setting. From the simmering glow of their folk masterpieces to the agitated synth-pop of their electronic experiments, Bright Eyes is prepared to look back at their “imperial phase” with their most ambitious production to date.

Cheltenham Punk Veterans 4ft Fingers Return With New Single “Better Days”
Cheltenham-based punk powerhouses 4ft Fingers have officially returned from a 17-year studio hiatus with the release of their high-energy single “Better Days” via Disconnect Disconnect Records. Marking their first new music since 2008’s ‘New Beginnings of Old Stories’, the track captures the “punk rock ‘n roll with soul” roots that once earned them the title of the UK’s hardest-working band from publications like Kerrang! and Big Cheese. According to guitarist Tom Saunders, the single serves as a mature reflection on life’s highs and lows while maintaining the signature speed and melodic angst influenced by legends like The Clash and Snuff. The release acts as a precursor to a highly anticipated full-length album slated for 2026, signaling a major new chapter for the band as they prepare to hit the road for an upcoming run of live shows, including a headline date at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston this February.

The track is a standout from his latest holiday collection, ‘The Season 3’, which arrived last November via Dark Horse Records. This expanded edition builds upon his original 2021 release, ‘The Season’, and now includes six newly recorded tracks, such as “Jingle Bell Rock,” “Let It Snow,” and a deeply personal duet of “Call Me Irresponsible” with his late father, Ray Perry.

Goose Shares Immersive “Burn The Witch” Cover From Sold-Out Goosemas XII
Goose has released a pro-shot video of their debut cover of Radiohead’s “Burn The Witch,” a highlight from the first night of their sold-out Goosemas XII celebration at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI. This performance was part of a meticulously crafted two-night residency titled “Barnaby Glimpse’s Show Upon Time,” a narrative-driven production that transformed the arena into the fictional, colonial-era town of Lovering’s Hollow. Night one focused on a surreal “dark carnival” theme, featuring period-inspired attire, animal-themed puppetry, and woodwind textures from frequent collaborator Stuart Bogie. The tension-filled Radiohead cover served as a centerpiece for the second set, fitting perfectly into the production’s shadowy atmosphere before dissolving into expansive improvisations on fan favorites like “Madhuvan” and “Dripfield.”
The residency concluded on night two with a shift toward musical collaboration and resolution, highlighted by the debut of the traditional ballad “Wild Mountain Thyme” featuring the Providence College Choir. The band continued to push their sonic boundaries with help from a full horn section, delivering explosive renditions of The Band’s “Life Is A Carnival” and an expansive “Hot Tea” that featured a psytrance-inspired interlude from bassist Trevor Weekz as DJ Marb Menthols. From the theatrical staging and high-wire aerialists to the inclusion of rare tracks like “Strange Overtones” and “Wysteria Lane,” Goosemas XII stood as a cohesive artistic statement. The weekend served as a career-defining celebration of improvisational risk, proving the band’s ability to curate immersive, large-scale musical events while maintaining the technical precision that has fueled their rapid ascent.
Dave Announces North American Tour In Support Of ‘The Boy Who Played The Harp’
Chart-topping rapper Dave has announced a highly anticipated North American tour in support of his latest record-breaking album, ‘The Boy Who Played the Harp’. This trek marks his first return to the continent in nearly four years, following a massive European arena run that includes four sold-out nights at London’s O2 Arena. The new album cements Dave’s legacy as a premier musical architect, with the artist producing or co-producing nine of the ten tracks. Featuring high-profile collaborations with Tems, Kano, and long-time creative partner James Blake, the project has already made history, making Dave the first British rapper to debut three consecutive albums at #1 in the UK. From the record-breaking success of “Sprinter” to the intimate storytelling of “My 27th Birthday,” this new body of work showcases the unmatched depth and production prowess that have defined his career since ‘Psychodrama’.
The North American leg kicks off in Seattle on March 27, 2026, and will hit major markets including Los Angeles, Toronto, Atlanta, and Chicago before concluding with a double-header in Brooklyn. Fans can expect a setlist that spans his decorated discography, including material from the platinum-selling ‘We’re All Alone In This Together’. Tickets for these dates will go through a series of pre-sales starting December 9, 2025, before the general public on-sale on December 12. As Dave continues to shatter records for both sales and chart longevity, this tour stands as a victory lap for an artist who has redefined the global reach of UK rap while maintaining a fiercely independent and self-produced creative vision.
