Oasis Celebrate 30 Years Of “Some Might Say” With Limited Edition Vinyl And New Visualizer

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of “Some Might Say” this week, Oasis have re-released their seminal single on limited-edition, pearl colored, numbered, 7″ vinyl. They’ve also released a brand-new visualizer for the track.

The release of “Some Might Say” was monumental in Oasis’ journey. As the first single released from the indomitable (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? and the band’s first ever number one in the UK Singles Chart, it marked a remarkable beginning to their second album. It was met with widespread critical and commercial acclaim at the time of release, also entering the top ten in Finland, Iceland, Ireland and Sweden.

(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?, which is also celebrating its 30th anniversary this October, went on to become a cultural phenomenon, elevating Oasis to massive heights on the global stage. It spawned countless era-defining moments, with “Some Might Say” the starting gun to it all. The single arrived only eight months after the band’s prodigious debut album, Definitely Maybe. In the short intervening period, Oasis were able to capitalize on their initial success and bring it to new places through the development of their sound. The huge, stadium fillers heard across (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? are beloved by fans around the world with the album having sold over 25 million copies worldwide.

The 30th anniversary of “Some Might Say” comes during another era-defining period for the iconic band, with the sold-out Oasis Live ’25 tour an undisputable, worldwide phenomenon. Unprecedented demand and a resounding global appetite made the announcement the music story of 2024 and what is unquestionably the musical event of 2025.

Order vinyl here. Watch the visualizer below:

The anniversary also follows the release of Time Flies… 1994 – 2009, the complete singles collection, reissued as a limited edition, 4 coloured LP, numbered, box set for this years’ Record Store Day which charted at no.3 in the UK official albums chart last week.

The Best Music Documentaries Still To Come In 2025

Because sometimes hearing the song isn’t enough — you want to hear the whole story behind it. The heartbreaks, the backstage chaos, the legends being made. 2025 is bringing a goldmine of music documentaries, and every single one is ready to rock your world.

Bono: Stories of Surrender (Arrives May 30, Apple TV+)

Get ready for Bono like you’ve never seen him before — raw, real, and remembering it all. Mixing live shows with behind-the-scenes memories, this is the deep dive into U2’s soul that fans have been waiting for. Oh, and bring tissues.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes (Coming this summer, HBO and Max)

The Piano Man finally gets his due in a sweeping two-part documentary that promises the heartbreak, the hits, and the humanity behind the legend. If you’ve ever sung along to “Piano Man” at 2 a.m., this one’s for you.

Culture Club (Premiering June at Tribeca Festival)

Boy George. Top 5 hits. More drama than a season of Succession. Culture Club’s story isn’t just about the music — it’s about the revolution. Alison Ellwood is behind the camera, and you know she’s going to bring the heat.

Depeche Mode: M (Premiering June at Tribeca Festival)

Depeche Mode, Mexico City, and an exploration of life, death, and sound. Memento Mori gets a powerful live documentary treatment that dives deep into mortality and music. This one’s going to stick with you.

Janis Ian: Breaking Silence (Out now in the US)

Janis Ian’s story is one of bravery, beauty, and breaking barriers. From “At Seventeen” to her emotional retirement, this doc — packed with friends like Joan Baez and Lily Tomlin — is a heart-to-heart conversation with a musical pioneer.

Karol G: Tomorrow Was Beautiful (Out May 8 on Netflix)

Global superstar? Check. Sold-out stadiums? Check. Karol G’s journey to the top — sexism, racism, and all — gets laid bare in this powerful, no-gloss documentary. She’s not just telling the glamorous parts. She’s telling the truth.

Metallica Saved My Life (Screening unfinished version on tour now)

When your fans say your music saved their lives — you listen. Jonas Åkerlund’s documentary is a love letter to Metallica’s fan family. You don’t have to be a metalhead to feel this one in your bones.

Oasis (TBD — following 2025 stadium tour)

The Gallagher brothers are back — and the cameras are rolling. With the team behind Peaky Blinders producing, expect drama, fists, and genius. If you think you know Oasis, think again. This is going to be pure rock cinema.

One To One: John & Yoko (In UK cinemas now)

Before hashtags, before viral activism — there were John and Yoko. One To One uncovers the power couple’s last live shows, their activism, and the behind-closed-doors moments that made them unforgettable.

Take That (Coming soon to Netflix)

The story of Take That — Gary, Howard, Mark, Jason, and Robbie — finally gets the epic docuseries it deserves. Expect laughs, tears, and no-holds-barred honesty. If you grew up with these guys, it’s going to feel like coming home.

Joe Bonamassa Releases “Breakthrough” And Announces Genre-Blending New Album ‘Breakthrough’

Joe Bonamassa Releases “Breakthrough” And Announces Genre-Blending New Album ‘Breakthrough’

In a career defined by evolution, Joe Bonamassa is ready to turn the page once again. The blues-rock virtuoso has just announced Breakthrough, his most adventurous and genre-blending studio album to date, out July 18th via his own J&R Adventures. At the heart of the announcement is the release of the album’s powerful title track-“Breakthrough”-a soulful, hard-hitting anthem about letting go, moving forward, and finding your fire again, available today on all streaming platforms.

Crafted across multiple continents and infused with a world’s worth of inspiration, Breakthrough marks a bold new chapter for Bonamassa-one that leans on fiery solos, emotionally rich storytelling, groove-driven arrangements, and stylistic exploration. Produced by long-time creative partner Kevin Shirley (Iron Maiden, The Black Crowes, Journey), the album was shaped by sessions in Greece, Egypt, Nashville, and Los Angeles, resulting in a vibrant sonic tapestry that shifts effortlessly from funky blues and Texas swing to acoustic ballads and swaggering hard rock.

“I think this album, Breakthrough, marks a shift in the styling of Joe Bonamassa’s recording output,” says Shirley. “While there are plenty of guitar solos on this record, his emphasis has been on songs primarily. Each time Joe undertakes a new recording project, he seems to access a different part of his vast library of music genre from the jukebox-in-his-head! This album is a round-the-world musical trip-from Little Feat funkiness to Texas swing, from hard rock power to acoustic singer/songwriter-style songs.”

The newly released single “Breakthrough,” co-written with long-time collaborator Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd), captures the emotional core of the record-an uplifting anthem about transformation, persistence, and letting go of the weight that holds us back. With gritty vocals, melodic guitar lines, and lush instrumentation, the track embodies Bonamassa’s signature blend of power and finesse while ushering in a bold new direction.

Linkin Park Release New Single “Unshatter” Ahead Of ‘From Zero’ Deluxe Edition

Linkin Park reveal a new track entitled “Unshatter” out now via Warner Records. It’s the next unreleased track to be unlocked from the Deluxe Edition of their acclaimed album FROM ZERO, which lands on May 16.

Right out of the gate, a stomping groove sets the pace for “Unshatter.” Distorted guitar crunch and kinetic production lays the framework for Mike Shinoda’s signature wordplay and airtight cadence. He passes the mic to Emily Armstrong whose gritty delivery drives the refrain. “‘Unshatter’ was an early track we made while recording From Zero,” Shinoda explains. “Emily’s huge vocal in the bridge was one of the moments that gave us an indication of what was possible together.” Teeming with emotion and energy, it has all the makings of a LINKIN PARK staple and future live favorite.

It lands in the wake of “Up From The Bottom,” which has already generated over 24 million Spotify streams and counting as well as 16 million YouTube views on the music video. Earning acclaim, Revolver applauded, “It taps into the propulsive, pop-punk-ish and mid-tempo spirit of last year’s FROM ZERO single “The Emptiness Machine,” and likewise features piano embellishment and a bridge sporting turntables, 808 beats and more,” and NME hailed it as “ferocious” and “explosive.’

Next up, LINKIN PARK will headline and ignite the UEFA Champions League final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi and UC3 on May 31st at the Munich Football Arena. Expect a setlist representing the best of their legacy, past and present.

Following unforgettable shows everywhere from Mexico to Tokyo, Jakarta, and beyond, the From Zero World Tour-produced by Live Nation-launches tomorrow April 26 in the U.S. Overall, it will see the band touch down on four continents. Anticipation has already reached fever pitch, resulting in 15 sellouts across the tour at legendary venues such as Wembley Stadium in London, Stade de France in Paris, and Boston’s TD Garden where a second date has been added for July 31 due to overwhelming demand. This massive global jaunt carries them through to the end of the year, concluding on November 11 in Brasilia, Brazil. Special guests Spiritbox, AFI, Architects, grandson, Jean Dawson, JPEGMAFIA, and PVRIS will join on select dates.

 

Sabaton Release New Single “Templars” And Announce Forthcoming 11th Album

Sabaton Release New Single “Templars” And Announce Forthcoming 11th Album

BETTER NOISE MUSIC is proud and excited to announce the signing of the mighty Sabaton. Today, April 25, the #1 Global Power Metal Band and one of Sweden’s most successful bands have unveiled the single and video “Templars” as the first release from their forthcoming 11th studio album.

Along with the digital release of “Templars,” SABATON is offering their fans a special one-sided 12″ vinyl single which is limited to 1000 copies worldwide and set to be released on June 27. Watch the strikingly cinematic video, filmed at two massive historical fortresses in Serbia, below and pre-order the vinyl/stream/download the track here.

SABATON-Joakim Broden (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes, Van Dahl (drums)-have always had a signature focus on writing songs about historical battles, wars, and acts of heroism that have solidified their impact with their loyal and longtime fans. SABATON have accumulated more than three billion streams across all streaming platforms and almost two billion views on YouTube.

“‘Templars’ is the first song we wrote for our forthcoming album and it truly brings out the theatrical side of SABATON,” says bassist Pär Sundström. “From the moment we started working on it, we were overflowing with ideas on how to bring it to life on stage. We didn’t just want to play it-we wanted to show it!”

The video for “Templars” presents a fictionalized depiction of a possible last stand for the Knights Templar. The band members take on the roles of the last remaining Templars, sworn to protect the secrets of their order. The story unfolds as the Templars intercept a letter warning them of their impending arrest for heresy. Soon after, an enemy army arrives on their doorstep demanding their surrender on behalf of King Philip IV of France. Refusing to yield, the Templars choose to fight to the bitter end. One by one, they fall in battle until only a single warrior remains. In a final, desperate clash, he defeats the enemy commander before retreating to the keep. There, he makes the ultimate sacrifice, setting fire to the stronghold to ensure the secrets of the order are lost to history.

The video was filmed at two massive historical fortresses in Serbia (Belgrade Fortress within Kalemegdan Park and Smederevo Fortress), both of which provided a striking and authentic backdrop for the epic battle scenes. To ensure both realism and safety, the band enlisted a large group of experienced reenactors, many of whom had worked in film production before. Their expertise helped bring the fight sequences to life with remarkable accuracy. Shot over the course of two long, hot days, the production faced intense summer heat, adding to the challenges of filming, but also enhancing the raw energy of the battle scenes.

As Thobbe Englund had only just rejoined the band after his almost eight-year hiatus, his bandmates wanted to mark his return in a memorable way by making him the last Templar standing, tasked with one final, epic battle. Initially, the plan was for him to wear a helmet so that a stuntman could step in for the demanding fight scene. However, the stunt coordinator had a different idea. He decided to take on the fight alongside Thobbe himself. While the battle was carefully choreographed, moments of improvisation added to its intensity. Clad in 40 kilos of armor, the two clashed with such force that the impact rumbled like an earthquake. To make things even more challenging, the scene was filmed in the scorching summer heat, and Thobbe was battling a fever at the time. Yet, he powered through, delivering a performance that was nothing short of legendary-a fitting way to mark his triumphant return to SABATON.

“We’re truly excited to begin this new chapter with Better Noise Music,” Pär Sundström comments. “After exploring various record labels worldwide, we found Better Noise to be the perfect fit. As an independent label, they haven’t traditionally focused on our style of heavy metal, making this collaboration particularly exciting. We’re excited to see how this partnership develops, confident that they’re ready to embrace the challenge of working with a band that brings a unique sound to their roster.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome SABATON to our roster,” says Lexie Viklund, the label’s Director of A&R. “Their powerful music and storytelling have resonated with fans worldwide, and we’re eager to amplify their presence in the U.S. while continuing to grow their global impact.”

Josie Sal Releases Bold New Single “Fake Friends” Showcasing Strength And Resilience

Country music’s rising powerhouse, 13-year-old Josie Sal, is making waves once again with her latest single, “Fake Friends.” Produced by industry veteran Noah Henson (Kane Brown, Brantley Gilbert), the track highlights Josie’s fearless spirit and signature blend of country roots with a modern edge.

An anthem of confidence and resilience, “Fake Friends” speaks to seeing people’s true colors-whether good or bad. Too often, those closest to you aren’t always the ones truly cheering you on. With her bold lyrics and undeniable talent, Josie proves that age is just a number-she’s a force to be reckoned with. “Fake Friends” is now streaming on all major platforms.

“Fake Friends” is a raw reflection of the moments when trust is broken and true colors are revealed,” shares Josie. “It’s about recognizing the difference between real connections and the ones that fade when you need them most. I hope y’all love this song, and I hope it resonates with anyone who’s ever felt the sting of a friendship that wasn’t what it seemed.”

Paris Hilton Releases “If the Earth Is Spinning” Remix Featuring Sia Ahead Of ‘INFINITE ICON Remix EP’

Paris Hilton is getting ready for the summer with a bold return to the dancefloor, releasing a house remix of “If the Earth Is Spinning” featuring Sia via ADA Worldwide, the independent label and artist services arm of Warner Music Group. Reimagined by UK electronic heavyweight James Hurr and Chicago-based producer DJ Karsten Sollors, the track transforms the original into a club-ready anthem. It’s the first in a series of remixes from Hilton’s 2024 album INFINITE ICON, an autobiographical record executive produced by Sia that marked her long-awaited return to music.

With a career spanning music, fashion, business, and activism, Hilton continues to reinvent herself while staying true to her roots. The INFINITE ICON remix series brings a new dimension to her sound, blending her signature pop sensibility with fresh energy from some of dance music’s most respected names.

“This track is pure dancefloor magic. It’s made for that moment when you just let go and the music takes over. My remix era is all about transformation, self-expression, and finding your light. This song is just the beginning, it’s going to be iconic! Karsten and James brought a whole new vibe to If The Earth Is Spinning and I’m so excited to be working together” said Paris Hilton.

In addition to the track, Paris is following her highly anticipated sophomore album with the release of INFINITE ICON Remix EP on May 30th. The EP reimagines tracks from her 2024 album with fresh, high-energy production. Each song is transformed for the dance floor while staying true to her signature sound. This release marks the beginning of the INFINITE ICON remix series. It’s a bold new chapter in Paris Hilton’s evolving music career.

Charles Kelley Announces New Album ‘Songs For A New Moon’ And Releases Tracks “Run” And “Driving And Listening To Music”

Charles Kelley is stepping into a moodily-hazed midnight spotlight with his forthcoming solo album SONGS FOR A NEW MOON, set for release June 25. A project seeping with unbridled optimism and irresistible 80’s pop flair, SONGS FOR A NEW MOON marks a new chapter for Kelley, as the 16 tracks celebrate an age of renewed possibility and fresh perspective, both musically and in life. Produced mainly by Sam Ellis and Lindsay Rimes and with Kelley co-penning all the original songs, the album fully embraces a freeing sense of sonic abandon, as the richly textured digital grooves feature roaring saxophones, saccharine guitars and sky-high vocal stacks, pushing Kelley to new levels. Today, Kelley offers a set of tracks, the unabashed anthem “Run” captures the rush of a couple making their escape from the world, covered in syrupy guitars and anthemic vocals soared over a booming rhythmic pulse and “Driving And Listening to Music” shifts into high gear, with shimmering synth melodies and processed drums on a nostalgic, windows-down jam, reminiscing on an escape into the sunset.

“I’ve always loved really well-written, great ’80s pop, from Toto to Ambrosia, and I always just felt like no one gave it enough credit,” Kelley explains. “This is me wanting to explore a different sound and pull from influences I’ve had for the longest time – but I didn’t want to make an ’80s sounding record, and then throw a bunch of country ‘insurance’ on it. I almost feel like that would be an insult to the listener… I wanted to go all-in.”

“The album’s north star” (American Songwriter) “Can’t Lose You,” made a splash on the Adult Contemporary radio charts, with its radio debut charting at No. 26. Tracks like “Take Back Goodbye” infuse the urbane edge of new-wave pop with an effortless, laid-back vibe, while “Can’t Be Alone Tonight” explores the epic R&B feel pioneered by Boyz II Men, stirring haunting romantic memories with grand piano and digital beats. The one-last-time anthem “Kiss This Thing Goodbye” sees Kelley and producer Nathan Chapman go for a sexy, ravenous romp, and the propulsive “Angel Eyes” gets lost in hypnotic desire – with ’80s icon (and Lady A producer) Dann Huff laying down the guitar solo – while the velveteen plush of “Lost and the Lonely” offers a vibey retreat from heartbreak. Inclusive of covers of The Killers’ “Here With Me” and reimagination of Cyndi Lauper’s immortal “Time After Time,” the collection ends on the sentimental piano ballad “Look What We Did.”

“This is about as honest as I can be in my music, and I’m super proud and just grateful. I’ve been in a really positive life-is-good headspace, and I want to soak it up. I want to take this second chance and self discovery and stop being afraid,” Kelly admits. “A little bit of that unknown is what makes life fun – it’s scary, but good scary.”
