A.T.L.D.V. Drop Emotionally Charged R&B Single “CRAZY” About Toxic Love and Real Feelings

0

Rising R&B band A.T.L.D.V., known for blending the nostalgic essence of classic soul with the bold edge of contemporary R&B, is set to release their single “CRAZY” in the second quarter of this year.

A.T.L.D.V. is Artist That’s Living a Dream Vision. The band consist of Members Amy Christine, Ike Nyce & Nako DeVinnci.

The track delivers a modern sonic experience layered with emotionally rich vocals and polished production. With its clean radio edit, “CRAZY” is primed for mainstream airplay while staying true to the group’s artistic vision.

“CRAZY” is more than just a song—it’s a statement. Penned by Nako DeVincci, the band’s creative force, the single offers a raw exploration of the highs and lows of modern relationships. Through powerful lyrics and captivating melodies, the band holds a mirror to the fractured dynamics between men and women in today’s dating landscape.

Unlike previous releases, “CRAZY” dives deeper into emotional and psychological terrain, confronting mental turmoil with honesty and boldness. Early feedback has been polarizing—some praise its authenticity and emotional depth, while others grapple with its provocative themes. But it’s in that tension that the true strength of the song lies.
“As A.T.L.D.V., we want our existing and new fans to know our new single Crazy is about the ups and downs in relationships.
You know that you can have crazy relationships but you have to see through them.
Well, when you’re dealing with crazy love, it’s toxic but real love at the same time. I’ve had a lot of crazy relationships.”
-Nako DeVinnci (Pronounced Nay-ko DaVinci), Crazy Creator & A.T.L.D.V. Group Member

“I wrote my Crazy verse in regards to an experience that I got caught up in that was created by someone else’s crazy. In my verse, I say “that the girl will call the police on you and turn right around and go bail you out of jail.” That’s crazy to me! It’s that crazy love, in and out of hell love, that keep you in a spell love.”
–Ike Nyce, A.T.L.D.V. Group Member

A.T.L.D.V. has long been a whispered name in underground music circles. With this upcoming release, the band signals a bold leap into broader visibility, challenging conventions and expanding what modern R&B can look—and sound—like.

“CRAZY” is a provocative, timely single that promises to engage, inspire, and start conversations. A.T.L.D.V. isn’t just making music—they’re shaping the future of the genre.

Kaiser Chiefs Celebrate 20 Years of ‘Employment’ With Massive Anniversary Vinyl Reissue and Tour

0

Following the announcement of a run of very special outdoor celebration shows, which include a massive hometown show at Leeds’ Temple Newsam Park later this month, Yorkshire indie icons Kaiser Chiefs have announced a 20th anniversary release of their seminal debut album Employment. The album will come July 18th.

A year typically commemorated with China, Kaiser Chiefs will mark 20 years of their iconic debut album Employment with three brand new expanded ‘China Anniversary’ formats. The 1LP edition is pressed on white vinyl, and includes ‘bonus’ track ‘Take My Temperature’; the 2LP set features 15 additional tracks, including a selection of B-Sides and CD single bonus tracks, plus two previously unreleased songs, exclusive to this format. On the 3CD set, alongside the original album, the band have added 40 tracks, including previously unreleased demo recordings, remixes, radio sessions, and a selection of live tracks that chart their rapid rise from small club dates in Leeds, to festival headline act. The original album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios, and the bonus material was curated by the band from their own archive.

Originally released in March 2005, the album landed to wide-spread acclaim and has gone on to become one of the most successful debut albums from a UK band. Peaking at No. 2 on the UK album chart, the record has since spent more than 17 months on the Official Top 40 chart, selling more than 2.1 million copies in the process, and being certified 7 x Platinum status by the British Phonographic Industry. Featuring a host of hit singles including ‘Oh My God’, ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Everyday I Love You Less And Less’ and ‘Modern Way’, the album catapulted the band to into the music world’s stratosphere, setting them onto the path of arena mainstays and festival headline status across the world.

“20 years ago, a brand new song by a brand new band was released. ‘I Predict A Riot’ was the start of something really special for some musicians from Leeds,” the band reminisced. “And the album that followed, ‘Employment’, changed our lives and has soundtracked the lives of millions of others since 2005. In 2025 we are saluting 20 years of that album and everyone is invited. Come celebrate the 2000’s, loving everything less & less and stripey blazers taking over the world..”

To coincide with the release Kaiser Chiefs will also be taking the celebrations out on the road this summer. Kicking off in Port Talbot on May 23rd, the band will play a run of outdoor shows across the UK stopping off in Leeds, Bristol, Edinburgh, London, Brighton, Cumbria & Newquay – full dates below.

Formed in Leeds in 2000, Kaiser Chiefs are one of the most exciting and consistently successful bands of their generation. Fronted by the charismatic Ricky Wilson, with Simon Rix on bass, Andrew ‘Whitey’ White on guitar, Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines on keyboards and drummer Vijay Mistry, the band have released eight original studio albums (two of those UK No. 1), had nine Top 40 singles, including the No. 1 ‘Ruby’, received three Brit Awards, an Ivor Novello Album of the Year award for Employment, toured with U2, Foo Fighters and Green Day and sold more than eight million albums worldwide.

Country Riser Blake Smeltz Unleashes Coming-Of-Age Anthem ‘Nicotine Daydream’

0

Country artist Blake Smeltz releases his bittersweet, energetic new single, “Nicotine Daydream,” capturing the rush of young love and the memories that linger long after it fades.

Tracing the story of a first love tied tightly to youth and rebellion, “Nicotine Daydream,” is a song about associating your first love with the feeling of Nicotine. It captures imagery of blaring Springsteen on the radio, windows down, with nowhere to be but everywhere to go. As the years pass, a chance encounter stirs up old emotions, offering a sharp, relatable look at how certain moments stay with us forever.

Anchored by lines like, “Nicotine daydream at 18 here we go again / It’s been a couple years now since I last seen her face / ran into her the other day / and it gave my heart a race,” the track leans into the sweetness and sting of growing up, growing apart, and remembering who we once were.

With a sound that echoes influences like Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, and Gavin Adcock, Smeltz pairs vivid storytelling with his signature raspy vocals, once again proving his knack for crafting songs that feel both personal and universal.

Nicotine Daydream is a song about associating your first love with the feeling of nicotine. It’s an upbeat song about growing up and growing apart, another perspective on a failed relationship. Everyone has one thing that reminds them of something they had in the past.” – Singer-Songwriter Blake Smeltz

Produced by Charlotte Avenue Entertainment, David Flint and William Gawley, “Nicotine Daydream” is the latest preview from Smeltz’s forthcoming album, Heartbreak Highway, set for release this July. With this track, Smeltz continues to build on the emotional honesty and sonic grit that are quickly becoming his trademarks in today’s country scene.

Blake Smeltz, a native of Evington, Virginia, has always felt a deep connection to nature, a bond that resonates throughout his music. A self-taught artist who wears his heart on his sleeve, Blake merges sharp songwriting with captivating storytelling to craft songs that are both authentic and engaging. His raspy voice and tenderhearted approach allow him to forge meaningful connections with listeners, drawing them into his world.

Inspired by country legends like Luke Combs, Zach Bryan, and Jason Aldean, Blake seamlessly navigates genres, blending elements of country-rock, singer-songwriter, and everything in between. In 2023, he debuted with Demos From the 434, a project that ignited his passion for music and set him on a promising path in country music. Blake’s artistry is a unique blend of Zach Bryan’s introspective lyrics and Luke Combs’ soulful style, enriched by his own powerful voice and heartfelt storytelling.

Outside of music, his passions for motorcycle rides, racecars, and life on the open road fuel his adventurous spirit and inspire his creative process. Rooted in the stillness of nature and the beauty of God’s creation, Blake channels these experiences into lyrics that resonate deeply with his audience. With his passion for music and a life lived boldly, Blake Smeltz is poised to take country music to exciting new horizons.

Why Choosing a Local Expert for Portable AC Unit Installation and Advice Makes Sense

0

By Mitch Rice

With UK summers becoming increasingly unpredictable and heatwaves more frequent, more households and businesses are turning to portable air conditioning units for a quick, flexible cooling solution. These units offer an affordable way to stay comfortable without the cost or complexity of permanent systems. But while portable ACs are designed for ease of use, getting the right advice — and potentially professional help with setup — can make a real difference. That’s where a local portable AC expert comes in.

Why Use a Portable Air Conditioning Unit?

Portable AC units are compact, movable systems that provide targeted cooling for specific rooms or spaces. Unlike fixed air conditioning, they don’t require invasive installation, making them ideal for renters, homeowners, offices, and even small commercial setups. Most models only need a power supply and a window or external vent to expel warm air.

However, choosing the right unit for your space, setting it up correctly, and using it efficiently are all factors that can affect performance. That’s where local knowledge and experience are valuable.

Expert Advice on Choosing the Right Unit

Not all portable AC units are created equal. Factors such as room size, insulation, humidity levels, and even the direction your windows face can impact which model will work best for you. A local specialist understands the typical property styles in your area and the kind of heat issues that occur — whether you’re in a modern flat or a Victorian terrace.

Rather than guessing online or relying on product descriptions, speaking with a local expert gives you access to tailored advice. They can recommend a unit with the right BTU rating, features like dehumidification, and energy efficiency suited to your specific needs.

Proper Setup for Better Efficiency

Although portable AC units are marketed as plug-and-play devices, incorrect setup can seriously affect performance. Poor vent placement, blocked airflow, or leaky windows can all reduce cooling efficiency and increase running costs. A local fitter or technician can help you set up your unit properly — ensuring that ducts are sealed, vents are in the right position, and the machine is running at its optimum setting.

They can also offer guidance on where to position your unit for maximum effect and how to maintain airflow without compromising insulation.

Ongoing Support and Maintenance

Working with a local portable AC expert means you’ll have someone nearby who can help if things go wrong. Whether your unit starts underperforming, needs a part replaced, or you want to upgrade in the future, having access to fast, local support is invaluable — especially during peak summer months when demand is high.

Supporting Local Businesses

Opting for local help not only gives you a better service, but it also supports small businesses in your area. You’ll likely benefit from more personal attention, flexible appointment times, and competitive pricing — all while keeping money in the local economy.

Final Thoughts

Portable air conditioning units are a smart solution for keeping cool in the UK’s rising summer temperatures. But for the best results, it pays to consult a local portable AC expert who understands your space and your needs. From choosing the right unit to setting it up correctly and offering ongoing support, their knowledge ensures you get the most out of your investment.

Metallica and its foundation, All Within My Hands (AWMH), are thrilled to announce more than 1,000 blood donations have been collected to date as part of a lifesaving partnership with the American Red Cross. 

Just over one month ago, a series of Red Cross x Metallica blood drives kicked off in select locations along the current U.S. leg of the M72 World Tour. Since then, members of the Metallica family have turned out to blood drives in full force, ready to roll up their sleeves and help patients counting on critical care this spring. This week marked the 1,000th donation collected, with several blood drives still on the books into June. Each blood donation can help save more than one life. 

“The Red Cross appreciates the impact this partnership has made in the lives of people in trauma situations, and those facing cancer and chronic conditions, like sickle cell disease,” said Darren Irby, executive director of national partnerships for the Red Cross. “Not only are donors who give regularly coming to give at these blood drives, but we are welcoming many new donors who have never given before – a true sign of how Metallica and All Within My Hands are inspiring people to give back across the country.”

All Within My Hands takes advantage of opportunities on the road to contribute to each community the tour visits. Several Red Cross x Metallica blood drives remain, including stops in Houston TX, Santa Clara CA, and Denver CO. 

As a thank you, all who come to give at this special series of blood drives will get a limited-edition Red Cross x Metallica T-shirt, while supplies last. For more information and to book a blood donation appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org/Metallica

Formed in 1981 by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich and including guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo, Metallica has become one of the most influential and successful rock bands in history, selling nearly 125 million albums worldwide and generating more than 17 billion streams while playing to millions of fans on all seven continents—more than 1.3 million of whom belong to the band’s fiercely loyal and consistently growing Fifth Member fan club. Metallica’s catalog of multi-platinum studio albums includes Kill ’Em All, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, …And Justice for All, Metallica (commonly referred to as The Black Album), Load, ReLoad, St. Anger, Death Magnetic, Hardwired…To Self-Destruct, and most recently, the Grammy-winning 72 Seasons, released April 14, 2023, on the band’s own Blackened Recordings label. Metallica’s awards and accolades include nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, multiple MTV Video Music Awards, a 2009 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Sweden’s Polar Music Prize. In 2017, Metallica established its own charitable foundation, All Within My Hands, to give back to communities that have supported the band. To date, All Within My Hands’ collective efforts have raised nearly $20 Million since inception, including $11.4 million in grants to workforce education, $7.4 million to fight hunger globally, and $5.2 million donated to critical local services around the world.

Wunderhorse Release Urgent New Single “The Rope” After Sold-Out UK Tour

0

Wunderhorse are proud to share new single “The Rope”, along with a visualizer video, following a sold-out UK tour, which culminated in a triumphant stop at London’s Alexandra Palace.

“The Rope” came together weeks before Wunderhorse embarked on their biggest headline shows to date last month. Conceived and recorded in a flash at London’s RAK Studios with producer Loren Humphrey, the track mirrors the ethos of spontaneity and urgency present throughout recent album Midas.

Recorded at Minnesota’s Pachyderm Studio (birthplace of Nirvana’s In Utero & PJ Harvey’s Rid Of Me) with producer Craig Silvey (The Rolling Stones, The National, Florence + the Machine), August’s album Midas follows the band’s acclaimed 2022 debut, Cub, and sees the band striding confidently into their role as one of British guitar music’s most exciting outfits.

Adopting an organic, unpolished recording process, Midas is a collection which captures the visceral atmosphere of Wunderhorse’s lauded live performances. “When we first went into the studio to make this record, the only thing we were sure about is how we wanted it to sound: very imperfect, very live, very raw,” frontman Jacob Slater explains. “We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amplifiers, like you’ve been locked inside the bass drum.”

Crematory Unleashes Heavy Visualizer for “Banished Forever” From New Album ‘Destination’

0

German dark metal veterans Crematory have shared a new video clip for their heavy track “Banished Forever”, which comes from their latest studio album “Destination”

“Banished Forever” is our singer Felix’s favorite song from the new album and one of the harder tracks on the Destination album, with some light progressive influences for us,” Crematory drummer and mastermind Markus Jullich comments. “As a thank-you to the fans for their incredible support in helping us reach #8 in the Top 10 of the German album charts, we would like to sincerely thank you with this Visualizer video clip, because you’ve made our lifelong dream come true. Many heartfelt thanks!”

“Destination” was released on May 2, 2025 via ROAR, and is available on CD, colored 2-LP Vinyl (incl. 4 bonus-Tracks), 3-CD Earbook (feat. the regular album, 4-track bonus CD, album on instrumental versions + a 48-page booklet), an exclusive 18-CD bundle (new album, exclusive remix album + all 16 previous albums) and in digital formats.

Alcatrazz Reopens “Island In The Sun” With 2025 Re-Recording on BraveWords

0

BraveWords Records releases the re-record of “Island In The Sun (Re-Opened 2025)” by Alcatrazz. The single is available today on all digital services.

Gary Shea, Alcatrazz bassist and founding member, “I have played Island In The Sun many times since it’s inception. So much sometimes I hear it in my sleep. Giles Lavery nails the vocal right up there with other past performances. Well done and looking forward to new music on BraveWords Records.”

Alcatrazz lead singer Giles Lavery, “I do seem to have a thing for placing a target on my head… re-record a classic song originally sung by a legendary vocalist… yeah right!, no big deal! (!!!) Jimmy Waldo wrote the main theme to this while still a member of New England in 1981… the first single from Alcatrazz back in 1983….and here is Alcatrazz 2025 presenting a new version just in time for the Alcatraz Prison reopening?… Back to the island we go! Stranger things have happened!”

Alcatrazz, formed in 1983 in Los Angeles, has been as well known for the legendary players and singers who have passed throughout the bands ranks as much as they have for their music.

Formed originally by the trio of Jimmy Waldo, Gary Shea (both fresh from late 70’s hitmakers New England and the short lived band Warrior featuring a pre-KISS Vinnie Vincent) along with vocalist Graham Bonnet (himself with impressive credentials having been a then recent member of Rainbow and the Michael Schenker Group) the band set about completing the line up with drummer Jan Uvena (formerly of Alice Cooper) and a then very young Yngwie Malmsteen, a guitarist who had quickly made a name for himself upon arriving in the USA in the early 80s. The band issued their now classic debut No Parole From Rock N Roll album (1983) which was met with universal critical acclaim. Yngwie was soon to depart in favor of Steve Vai just in time for the bands second album, Disturbing The Peace (1985).

The bands mission has always been a not necessarily stable lineup, but of an evolving union of established performers all forming a “supergroup” of sorts, one with perhaps more guitar fire-power than many, but definitely also with the songs to back it up.

Alcatrazz hit the road in Europe later this year with Girlschool.
