The band shares: “The celebration continues! 25 Years of Noise – Spring Edition is coming this April and May with an incredible lineup featuring Real Friends, Broadside, and Greyhaven. We’re heading to some new cities and revisiting places we haven’t played in years. With two albums and a world tour, 2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for Silverstein. See you on the road!”
This year, fans around the world are invited to join the band in celebrating their “silver” anniversary with the 25 Years Of Noise Tour. These shows offer a discography-spanning performance and fans are able to vote for their favorite songs from each record to help decide the setlist. The first leg of North American dates continues through February 15th and features support from Thursday, Arm’s Length, and Split Chain. Following the month-long run, Silverstein will bring the tour to the UK / EU alongside Thursday, The Callous Daoboys ahead of the newly announced spring leg.
In addition to the new tour dates, Silverstein recently released “Don’t Let Me Get Too Low”. The song is the latest from Antibloom, the first part of their prolific double album Antibloom / Pink Moon. The records were written in the deserts of Joshua Tree and represent the band’s most eclectic and prolific body of work to date. Antibloom will see its release on February 21st, 2025 via UNFD, with Pink Moon to follow later in the year.

Acclaimed Swedish indie-pop band Peter Bjorn and John are bringing their iconic Writer’s Block album back to life on a highly anticipated U.S. tour in May 2025. This marks the band’s first stateside shows in six years and commemorates the 19th anniversary of their breakthrough LP, originally released in 2006. The announcement follows news of the band’s appearance at this year’s Just Live Heaven Festival in Pasadena, CA on May 10th where they’ll be playing alongside Vampire Weekend, Rilo Kiley, Bloc Party and TV on the Radio.
Writer’s Block is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the mid-2000s. The LP was one of Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” picks and had The Guardian calling it “A delight, from start to finish.” The album’s single “Young Folks,” featuring Victoria Bergsman, became an era-defining anthem, earning widespread and long-lasting acclaim. The song’s infectious whistling has been spotlighted in numerous cultural discussions and earlier this year The New York Times featured “Young Folks” in their “In Praise of Whistling in Pop Music” newsletter and playlist “The Amplifier.” In addition, the song was featured prominently in two of the period’s biggest TV shows – Gossip Girl and How I Met Your Mother.
Furthermore, several album tracks caught the ear of some very well-known rappers. Kanye West rapped over “Young Folks” for his 2007 mixtape Can’t Tell Me Nothing, and in 2009 Drake sampled “Let’s Call It Off” on his track of the same name and Azealia Banks rapped over “The Chills,” retitling the track “The Chill$.”
This milestone tour offers fans a chance to relive Writer’s Block in its entirety, along with other beloved hits from Peter Bjorn and John’s extensive discography. The band’s innovative approach to songwriting and their knack for crafting timeless melodies have solidified their place as indie pop pioneers, and this tour promises to celebrate their enduring legacy.

Smithsonian Folkways has announced the launch of the Smithsonian Folkways Music Pathways, an innovative new teaching tool designed to illuminate lesser-known corners of music history using the sounds and resources available in the label’s iconic catalog. The Music Pathways are a free resource available to educators, parents, and the general public, contiguous with Folkways’ mission of making the sounds of the world broadly accessible and increasing understanding among people and cultures. Two Pathways are available now: Estoy Aqui: Music of the Chicano Movement and Cajun and Zydeco Music: Flavors of Southwest Louisiana, with a third covering women in the blues forthcoming. The Smithsonian Folkways Music Pathways offer step-by-step guides through both the music and the history of the people who made it, offering moments for listening, reflection, hands-on activities, and storytelling for teachers and learners in all subjects.
The Music Pathways are a first-of-their-kind lesson-plan resource that meets national academic standards in a variety of subjects, such as Common Core, National Standards for Music Education, and more. The Pathways present music within many contexts, allowing students to discover how music connects to historical moments and why it sounds as it does. Lesson plans are situated like nesting dolls inside larger inquiries of study, allowing students, educators, and parents to move between different topics within each Pathway easily and logically. Music Pathways are currently available for students in grades 6-8, with Pathways for additional age groups to be launched.
Extensive resources from across the Smithsonian are utilized throughout the Music Pathways. Audio, liner notes, and artwork that comprise many releases on Smithsonian Folkways (and other collections, such as Arhoolie Records) are positioned adjacent to photographs, video, scholarship, and other media from nearly every museum and unit of the Institution. Learners are able to see, hear, and directly engage with primary resources that illustrate the vibrancy of the cultures and relevance of the histories being explored. These comprehensive, ready-made resources are able to be immediately implemented in classroom and hybrid learning environments, providing educators with vetted, engaging deep dives that cover multiple perspectives on the histories being uncovered. Each Music Pathway, in its entirety, contains 12-18 hours of rich, thematic, multidisciplinary content that is customizable based on the needs of individual teachers and students in a variety of learning contexts. Music, history, and other humanities teachers alike will find lesson plans that will make for easy curricular integration and standards fulfillment.
While the Music Pathways were designed with national education standards in mind, they are also perfect for independent and lifelong learners, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the histories behind their favorite LPs released by Smithsonian Folkways. They are excellent supplemental resources for parents who wish to introduce their children to music and culture from around the world.
As a leader in resources for music educators for over 30 years, Smithsonian Folkways now charts a new direction for educational projects at the label. In 2024, Folkways received an internal grant through the Smithsonian’s Together We Thrive initiative to support an in-house curriculum specialist overseeing educational offerings like the Music Pathways. “We are thrilled that Dr. Jennifer Mellizo, a music educator and respected researcher with over 22 years of teaching experience in K-12 classrooms, joins us as our first full-time educator at the label,” said Folkways Director and Curator Maureen Loughran. “The Smithsonian’s commitment to education at Folkways encourages us to further develop deep contextual resources, like Music Pathways, and explore new projects dedicated to teachers and students from all parts of the world.” Under Mellizo’s supervision, a third Music Pathway on women and the blues will be released later in 2025.

Estoy Aquí: Music of the Chicano Movement:
Estoy Aquí: Music of the Chicano Movement explores Smithsonian Folkways Recordings’ large collection of songs and genres that emerged as symbols of cultural identity and pride during the Chicano movement of the 1960s-1970s. During this important time in American history, people in Mexican American and ally communities bravely advocated for equal rights and called for social change. As activists and leaders like César Chávez, Dolores Huerta, Reies López Tijerina, and Corky Gonzales fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, land rights, educational opportunities, and political representation, musicians documented history as it was happening––they expressed struggles, energized political messages, and lifted the spirits of strikers, marchers, and protestors.
This Smithsonian Folkways Music Pathway celebrates the Chicano/a community’s important contributions to the American story. As you immerse yourself in the sounds of mariachi, dance to the infectious beat of conjunto, engage with the complex rhythms of son jarocho, and sing protest songs that became anthems during the Chicano movement, you will gain a deeper understanding of how history can shape both the present and the future.

Cajun and Zydeco Music: Flavors of Southwest Louisiana:
Through displacement and hardship, both Cajuns (descendants of what is today known as Nova Scotia) and Creoles (people from a combination of Caribbean, West African, Native American, Spanish, and Portuguese descent) ended up making their homes along the banks of the Mississippi River in a place called “Acadiana.” Their exchange of French-language music and diverse cultural traditions created what we now think of as “Cajun” and “zydeco” music. A true musical melting pot, the unique sounds and styles of Cajun and zydeco continue to influence each other and the vibrant music culture of southwest Louisiana. When people with different ancestries combine similar instrumentation, lyrical themes, language, and rhythms into one pot, the result is a true musical gumbo!
Drawing heavily from seminal audio recordings in the Arhoolie Records collection, which Smithsonian Folkways acquired in 2016, Cajun and Zydeco Music: Flavors of Southwest Louisiana explores the diverse roots and stylistic developments of these music genres and celebrates the “laissez les bons temps rouler” (let the good times roll) ethos that is alive and well in this region today.
Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, the “National Museum of Sound,” makes available close to 60,000 tracks in physical and digital format as the nonprofit record label of the Smithsonian, with a reach of 80 million people per year. A division of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the non-profit label is dedicated to supporting cultural diversity and increased understanding among people through the documentation, preservation, production and dissemination of sound. Its mission is the legacy of Moses Asch, who founded Folkways Records in 1948 to document “people’s music” from around the world.

Today, musician from the multi-platinum band AJR, climate advocate, educator and TIME Earth Award recipient Adam Met announced his debut book, AMPLIFY: How to Use the Power of Connection to Engage, Take Action, and Build a Better World is due out on June 3rd via Harmony Books, a division of Penguin Random House. The bookis a blueprint for boosting activism and building support for the causes you care about using fan-building tactics from the music industry and featuring the voices of today’s most passionate change-makers. AMPLIFY includes a foreword by Congressman Maxwell Frost, the first Gen-Z member of the US House of Representatives. You can pre-order the book HERE.
Met holds a Ph.D. in human rights and sustainable development and is the founder and executive director of Planet Reimagined, which trains and engages the climate leaders of the future using media and entertainment platforms along with strategic advocacy to mobilize climate action. He also is a professor at Columbia University, where he uses his expertise to teach about climate policy and campaigning.
“People are feeling overwhelmed, worried, and fearful that our efforts to create a better world haven’t worked,” Met shared. “AMPLIFY offers a fresh perspective — a slate of proven strategies inspired by cultural icons like Taylor Swift and BTS — about building new kinds of movements and empowering individuals to find their space to make a real, tangible difference.”
From stadium acts to indie singer-songwriters, musicians have pioneered ways of sparking passion, building awareness, and catalyzing engagement. Now imagine if the causes you cared about—from the fight to protect the planet to campaigns promoting global health, gun reform, or LGBTQIA+ rights—had the same fervent support as your favorite artists. AMPLIFY’s innovative toolkit will help you find your voice and maximize your impact in the world of social progress to create the change you want to see.
Met has firsthand experience growing an impassioned audience for an indie-pop band that formed in a family living room and is now selling out arenas across the country. With award-winning journalist Heather Landy, he shows how fan-building tactics from the music industry can build up movements in exciting, innovative ways. AMPLIFY demonstrates ways to smartly attract passionate supporters (i.e. fans) using the tactics of engagement, collaboration, and authentic connection, to inspire people to carry your message to the world and spur others to action.
The book also shares strategies from today’s most effective organizers, engagers, and audience builders, and includes interviews with Andrew Yang (former US presidential candidate), David Hogg (March for Our Lives co-founder), Christiana Figueres (Paris Agreement architect), Sue Doster (NYC Pride executive director), Glenn Beck (conservative commentator), Jim Gaffigan(comedian), and Bill Nye (scientist and entertainer), among others.
Last fall, Met was honored with the prestigious TIME Earth Award, which recognizes individuals influencing the future of the planet through their work on climate justice, awareness, and activism. Adam joins an exclusive group of Earth Award recipients, including Jane Fonda and John Kerry. You can read his profile HERE and watch his acceptance speech HERE.
Adam is a regular commentator on climate issues for CNN, and his climate advocacy work has been featured in outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter and NPR Weekend Edition, which recently profiled Adam in a piece about his effective climate advocacy campaign – listen HERE.
Adam Met, Ph.D., seamlessly transitions between roles as a musician, educator, and advocate. As the bassist in the multi-platinum band AJR, he has played for millions of fans worldwide. He is the co-founder and executive director of the climate research and advocacy nonprofit Planet Reimagined and teaches about climate campaigning and policy at Columbia University.

Celebrated Canadian rock and roll band The Damn Truth release their self-titled album The Damn Truth on Friday 14 March via Spectra Musique. The forthcoming album features the singles “Love Outta Luck,” “I Just Gotta Let You Know,” “The Willow,” and their latest single “Better This Way.”
It’s no secret that one of the most exciting new bands making noise in the UK and Europe these days is Canadian. It’s true, and it’s The Damn Truth, a Montreal rock foursome serving up a gutsy, revved up modern reimagining of classic rock ideals.
And now, after touring the UK and Europe for the last four years, The Damn Truth return with their self-titled fourth album, The Damn Truth, and, once again, produced by the legendary Bob Rock (Motley Crue, The Offspring, Bon Jovi). The new album is the culmination of 12 years of hard work and constant touring; The Damn Truth are a perpetual and virtually unstoppable rock and roll machine.
Fuelled by two Top 40 singles on the Canadian Active Rock Charts (“Love Outta Luck,” “I Just Gotta Let You Know”), this new album marks the next level in their relationship with Bob Rock. He has pushed the band in all areas of playing, writing, and refining the Damn Truth signature sound, most evident in the revelatory power of Lee-la Baum’s vocals as evidenced on the mystic, almost Zeppelin-vibed “The Willow;” the full on bittersweet romance of “Better This Way;” the social conscience of “The Dying Dove;” the cautionary “If Don’t Make It Home;” and the hell yeah rabble rousing “All Night Long.”
The Damn Truth have added some extra lanes on their rock and roll highway as they explore new musical scenery, but the destination remains the same: organic loud rock experienced best in a crowded concert hall dripping in sweat.
Singer Lee-la Baum recalls the phone call that started it all – “It’s 3am in the heart of London. The adrenaline from an epic show supporting Glenn Hughes still courses through my veins as I collapse into my hotel room. Just as I start to unwind, my phone jolts me awake. It’s Bob Rock! The same Bob Rock I’d sent our demos to just hours earlier. Anticipation fills the air as I answer the call.
“Hello?”
“Hi there, it’s Bob!”
“How are you, Bob?” I reply, barely able to contain my excitement.
“I’m great! I listened to the new songs first thing this morning and I just had to call you right away. It’s awesome! Probably the best songs you guys have ever written. I’m excited to see you guys in a few weeks.”
“Let’s make a record!”
The album was recorded over a period of two months at Bryan Adams’ Warehouse Studios in Vancouver. This is Bob Rock’s favourite studio; it’s a classic and gigantic old school recording haven (AC/DC had just wrapped up prior to The Damn Truth’s arrival), perfect for the massive drum sound that Bob loves. Unlike their previous LP, Now or Nowhere (2021), which was hampered by Covid restrictions; this one is 100% produced and mixed by Bob Rock, who also gave the band access to his incredible collection of rare and vintage guitars for the sessions.
This is what Bob told the band at the start of this project, “When I hear you guys, I feel the spirit of Zep 1, let’s make a record like that, playing together, live, feeding off each other’s energy. That’s rock n roll”
Led by singer/guitarist Lee-La Baum, the rest of the quartet consists of lead guitarist Tom Shemer, bass-player PY Letellier, and drummer Dave Traina. Critics have been nothing but effusive concerning Lee-la’s vocals. Rock at Night magazine stated, “Lee-La sounds like a combo of Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship) and Ann Wilson (Heart). Her vocals are beyond powerful… incredible rock and roll.”
Bassist PY Letellier noticed a difference in this album’s creation, “Working with Bob this time around really brought new layers to our music that we hadn’t really had before.”
“Bob Rock is synonymous with the biggest bass and drum sounds,” adds drummer Dave Traina, “But with us, he seemed more interested in the lyrics and melody. He had us play each song quietly with an acoustic guitar and Lee-la’s voice. We built the music around those focal points.”
Their last album, Now or Nowhere, caught fire in the UK and Europe to such a degree (airplay on over 70 stations plus A-list airplay on Planet Rock, the UK’s most influential rock station, in addition to BBC 2 Rock Show.
The Damn Truth have constantly toured Europe performing to audiences in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Holland, and more). The band have also toured with noteworthy rock bands and artists including Z.Z. Top, Rival Sons, The Cult, Glenn Hughes, The Sheepdogs, Styx, and many more.
Their July 2024, their festival run in Europe included their first ever appearance in Romania (Open Air Blues Festival Brezoi) where the reaction was so overwhelming that the band has been invited back for this year’s festival. They will return to the UK this November for a series of festival and club dates.
This February, the band are special guests on the sold-out Rock Legends Cruise with Alice Cooper, Styx, Burton Cummings, John Waite, Jason Bonham, and others. Another career highlight was being part of the Alex Lifeson’s (RUSH) 2023 all-star band charity concert at Massey Hall, Toronto featuring Lee-la singing lead vocals.
Get ready! 2025 looks to be the year of The Damn Truth!

Faye Webster’s Tiny Desk performance is like stepping into a dream you never want to wake up from. With a string quartet and her locked-in band, she turns Underdressed at the Symphony into a hypnotic, otherworldly experience. You’ll feel it in your bones, in your heart, and maybe even in the last-minute ticket you didn’t buy to the symphony.
MJ Lenderman steps into the Tiny Desk spotlight with his own set, bringing wry lyricism, fiddle-driven melodies, and that perfect blend of sad, funny, and deeply human storytelling. “Nothing funny has ever happened to me,” he says—yet his songs tell a different story.
Oasis announce the 25th anniversary reissue of their fourth studio album, Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants – available on limited edition vinyl including silver LP and official store exclusive blue and purple marble LP on the anniversary of the original release date, February 28th. Today’s news is accompanied by a new lyric video for the album’s first single “Go Let It Out,” originally released 25 years ago today.
A pivotal moment in Oasis’ storied history, Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants marked the start of a new era for the band. “Go Let It Out” was the first release on Noel and Liam Gallagher’s own label Big Brother Recordings Ltd, established in January 2000 following the sudden closure of Oasis’ former UK label Creation Records. Big Brother’s debut release was rushed into production and released on February 7th, 2000, only seven weeks after the label’s inception.
Set up by Noel and Liam, together with their management team and entirely self-financed, Big Brother was the only real option for one of the most independently minded bands in the UK. Including the rights for the band’s existing catalogue as well as new releases, in the 25 years since its birth, Big Brother has gone on to be responsible for 10 No. 1 albums and over 15 billion streams globally.
Following the meteoric global success of Definitely Maybe (1994), What’s The Story (Morning Glory?) (1995) and Be Here Now (1997), with Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, Oasis embraced a bold development in their sound. Noel Gallagher took a broader and more experimental approach to recording, resulting in a departure from their earlier sounds towards a modern psychedelic rock influenced record. This experimentation and richer sonic palette was in part due to Noel taking more time to craft this record than he had previously enjoyed. New instruments and techniques were utilised, including drum loops, samples, electric sitar, Mellotron, synthesisers and backward guitars, all contributing to a progression in Oasis’ output. Several tracks on the album also saw Oasis use samples for the first time. “F***in’ In The Bushes” contains samples from Murray Lerner’s film “Message To Love Isle Of Wight 1970,” whilst “Go Let It Out” contains elements from Johnny Jenkins “I Walk on Gilded Splinters.” Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants also marked the first time that Liam Gallagher contributed songwriting to an Oasis album (“Little James”), with this continuing on subsequent albums.
Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants holds further significance as the first Oasis album to be released following the change to the original band line up. Gem Archer and Andy Bell took over guitar and bass duties respectively for the album’s live activity, following the departure of Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Paul “Guigsy” McGuigan. Also significant to the recording process Mark “Spike” Stent took up production duties alongside Noel.
The bold new sounds were quickly embraced by Oasis’ fans, and Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants reached No.1 in the UK Album Charts, selling over 310,000 copies in its first week alone. It is now certified double platinum and has also sold in excess of 200,000 copies in the US. Moreover, the legacy of its songs continues to burn bright in Oasis back catalogue. “F***in’ In The Bushes” cemented itself in fans consciousness as the incendiary rallying cry Oasis walked on stage to for subsequent live shows. “Go Let It Out,” a classic slice of Noel’s very best songwriting, backed with hypnotic drum loop and Mellotron, topped the single charts in UK, Ireland, Italy, and Spain. And with the spiralling chaos of “Gas Panic!,” the band showed their ability to masterfully explore new territory with dark, sobering textures and an expertly crafted sense of unease.
The 25th anniversary of Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants lands at the start of a year that is sure to belong to Oasis as fans eagerly anticipate the Oasis Live ’25 tour, the reunion that ended years of feverish speculation. Unprecedented demand and a resounding global appetite made the announcement the music story of 2024. Last year also saw the 30th anniversary edition of Definitely Maybe reach No.1 in the UK album charts for a second time in its history.
In the midst of a pivotal moment in the remarkable story of Oasis, reflecting on another during its 25th anniversary, feels particularly apt. With Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants, Oasis embarked on a bold new chapter, one that would lay the foundation for everything that was to follow as the band took control of their own destiny.

sland Records and UMe today announce the release of Original Soundtracks 1 (30th Anniversary Edition) by Passengers, pressed on 2LP recycled black vinyl for Record Store Day, April 12, 2025.
Original Soundtracks 1, the studio album by Brian Eno and U2 was released in November 1995 under the artist pseudonym Passengers. The experimental recording process resulted in a collection of 14 songs, written mostly for imaginary films – hence the album title – with the exception of “Ghost in the Shell,” “Beyond the Clouds,” and the hit single “Miss Sarajevo,” featuring Luciano Pavarotti. Other highlights include guest appearances from musician and producer Howie B and Japanese artist Holi, as well as the bonus track “Bottoms (Watash*tachi No Ookina Yume),” which previously featured on the original Japanese version of the album.
