While She Sleeps, Buried Tomorrow And Vended Announce North American Tour

While She Sleeps have announced a new North American Tour to support their most recent Spinefarm release, ‘Self Hell.’ The tour is supported by Bury Tomorrow with openers Vended.

Dates kick off in Cleveland, OH on April 2nd at The Roxy and close out on the 30th in Charlotte, NC at The Underground. Presales begin Thursday, December 12th at 10 AM local time; general sales start Friday, December 13th at 10 AM local time.

The band shared this about the upcoming trek: “We’re excited to be coming back to the USA and bringing a bunch of friends with us. We’ve been touring with Bury Tomorrow since 2010, so it’s going to be special being on the other side of the world together. After sadly having our last USA headline run cut short on the West Coast by the dreaded 2020 Covid outbreak, we are picking up where we left off and are back with more energy than ever, well-oiled after a world tour celebrating the release of ‘Self Hell.’ It will be amazing to bring this lineup to places we’ve never headlined before & after so many tours in the US supporting other bands, finally be able to play a more expansive set of the songs from the past 18 years. We can’t wait to be back.”

Envy Of None Release Atmospheric New Single “Under The Stars” Ahead of Spring 2025 Album

Following the release of their superb single “Not Dead Yet” in October, rock supergroup Envy Of None – made up of Alf Annibalini, Andy Curran, Alex Lifeson, Maiah Wynne – are back with the follow up, “Under The Stars”.

Speaking on the single, songwriter and bassist Andy Curran said, “Alf and I toiled over this one for months and really felt, even at its rough demo stage that we had something special. We left a ton of space for Maiah in the verses and there’s such a cool mood shift when the chorus hits. Joe Vitale’s drum track and percussion added an almost trance like vibe and the icing on the cake, is an unmistakable “Alex” guitar solo. I’m a romantic at heart and the message here is universal. Soul mates, ‘two against the world!'”

Stream/download “Under The Stars” here, and watch the Olivier Boscovitch-created music video below:

Envy of None are busy in the studio finishing off their next album and the follow-up to 2022’s self-titled debut, expected in spring 2025.

Gibson Unveils ‘A Complete Unknown’ Collection Honoring Bob Dylan in Biopic Starring Timothée Chalamet

Gibson has been shaping the sound of music since 1894, when its founder, Orville Gibson, designed and built his earliest-known musical instrument in his workshop. As it celebrates 130 years of making the most iconic guitars in the world, Gibson’s groundbreaking instruments have inspired the most iconic musicians to create their sonic masterpieces, been the catalyst for some of the most powerful moments in pop culture and encouraged new generations to pick up the guitar in legendary appearances on the silver screen.

Bob Dylan remains both pop’s greatest songwriter and its greatest enigma. In theaters nationwide December 25th, Timothee Chalamet stars and sings as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s three-time Golden Globe-nominated movie, A Complete Unknown, the electrifying true story behind Dylan’s meteoric rise from hard-scrabbling vagabond to rock-and-roll icon. New generations of music fans and Dylanologists alike will have the opportunity to experience his journey from the cafes of Greenwich Village to the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, from where his groundbreaking and controversial performance reverberated worldwide.

Dylan’s artistic evolution was fast-moving, and Gibson acoustic guitars were a constant feature. Gibson’s acoustic guitar luthiers worked closely with the film’s production team including Executive Music Producer Nick Baxter. A variety of Gibsons were used during the filming and recording sessions for A Complete Unknown, striving for pinpoint historical accuracy when it came to instruments, sonics, and recording signal chains. Most of the Gibson and Epiphone guitars throughout the film continue to be handcrafted at the Gibson acoustic craftory in Bozeman, Montana.

Today, Gibson has unveiled A Complete Unknown: The Collection, a specially curated selection of Gibson acoustic instruments inspired by and used during the filming and soundtrack recording sessions. View Gibson’s A Complete Unknown: The Collection available worldwide on Gibson.com
