Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello plays on a new song from Peter Frampton called “Lions at the Gate.”

The track is a protest song that, according to a press release, “draws inspiration from lion statues outside Hollywood elite mansions in the 1920s.” It symbolizes “a bold challenge to the ultra-powerful.”

“‘Lions at the Gate’ is a powerful track with a powerful message, and Tom’s playing took it to another level,” Frampton says.

“Lions at the Gate” will appear on Frampton’s upcoming album, Carry the Light, due out May 15. It marks Frampton’s first collection of all-new material in 16 years.

Morello, meanwhile, is currently on tour with another classic rock legend, Bruce Springsteen, playing select songs with the E Street Band.

Yes is back with new music.

The band — currently made up of Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen — will release the new album, Aurora, on June 12. They are previewing the record with the release of the title track.

“Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music,” says Howe. “It’s always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn’t really a Yes song. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new.”

Aurora is Yes’ 24th studio album and their first since 2023’s Mirror to the Sky. It will be released digitally, on CD and as a two-LP set, along with limited-edition deluxe editions that come with a bonus disc of instrumentals, a Blu-ray with various audio mixes of the album and more.

All formats are available for preorder now.

Yes recently postponed their European and U.K. Fragile tour so Howe could recover from needed surgery. On the tour, the band was supposed to play their 1971 album, Fragile, in its entirety.

Dogstar has premiered a new song called “Joy,” a track off the Keanu Reeves-featuring band’s upcoming album, All in Now.

“It begins with ethereal, dreamy reverb guitar that sets a tone,” vocalist/guitarist Bret Domrose says of “Joy.” “I bought a new guitar – a vintage Gibson ES335 Hollow Body that I brought in. It gave us some new tones to explore and opened a new avenue for us to explore.”

You can watch the video for “Joy” on YouTube.

All in Now, which also includes the previously released title track, is due out May 29. It’s the follow-up to 2023’s Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, which marked the first Dogstar album in over 20 years.

Dogstar will play a pair of California shows in May to celebrate the album release before launching a full U.S. tour in August.

Barry Manilow has postponed more shows on his arena tour.

Manilow’s next scheduled show was booked for April 13 at UBS Arena in Long Island, New York. A post on the venue’s website says the show has now been postponed.

Newsday reports that an email from the arena went out to ticket holders noting that the show “will now be rescheduled to a later date due to doctor’s orders.”

While Manilow hasn’t made an official statement regarding the postponement, his website lists the UBS show, as well as all shows scheduled before a July 30 date in Charleston, South Carolina, as “TBD.” That includes shows in Newark, New Jersey; Wilkes-Barre and Reading, Pennsylvania; Portland, Maine; and Albany and Buffalo, New York.

Manilow had surgery in December to remove a cancerous spot on his left lung. In early February, he postponed dates for his Las Vegas residency in order to focus on healing, and then later that month postponed arena shows after his doctor advised him he wouldn’t be healthy enough to headline the concerts.

ABC Audio has reached out to Manilow’s rep for comment.

The reunited Alabama Shakes have premiered a new single called “American Dream.”

“It’s a snapshot of what we’re living through in 2026,” frontwoman Brittany Howard says of the track. “I look around and wonder how we got to a place where there’s so much strain and so little support. I mean, it shouldn’t be impossible to take off work so you can bring your child to the doctor—that’s actually insane.”

She adds, “My hope is that one day people will hear this song and say, ‘’Yeah, s*** was crazy back then, but we made it through.'”

“American Dream” marks the second new track from Alabama Shakes since they reunited at the end of 2024 after a six-year hiatus. The first, “Another Life,” was released in 2025.

The most recent Alabama Shakes album is 2015’s Sound & Color.

Alabama Shakes will launch a U.S. tour April 16 in Richmond, Virginia.

Teddy Swims is kicking off Coachella weekend with the brand new song he’s been teasing, “Mr. Know It All.”

On the track, he sings about sabotaging his love life by assuming it’ll end badly: “Shoulda told you I could see this coming, like I’m lookin’ right into a crystal ball/ When I fall in love it’s with misfortune, oh, I wish I wasn’t Mr. Know It All.”

“‘Mr. Know It All’ explores the idea that love can become a self-fulfilling contradiction,” Teddy explains in a statement. “When you believe you already know how it ends, you protect yourself by holding back and that distance becomes the reason it fails.”

“But when you try to fight that fate and control every outcome, you can end up suffocating the connection,” he adds. “It’s about how both fear and control can quietly undo something real.”

Teddy takes the main stage at Coachella Friday at 5:30 p.m. PT. You can watch the festival live streaming on YouTube.

Peter Frampton has released another track off his upcoming solo album, Carry The Light.

The song, available now via digital outlets, also features vocals from Frampton’s son, Julian Frampton. It is the second track released from the album, following “Buried Treasure” which features Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench.

Carry the Light, dropping May 15, is Peter Frampton’s first album of all-new material in 16 years. In addition to Morello and Tench, it features guest appearances by Sheryl Crow, Graham Nash, H.E.R. and saxophonist Bill Evans.

Carry The Light will be released digitally, on CD and on 180-gram yellow vinyl. It will also be available as a limited-edition numbered vinyl featuring a premium cover. All formats are available for preorder now.

Evanescence has announced a new album called Sanctuary.

The fifth studio effort from Amy Lee and company — sixth if you count 2017’s Synthesis compilation of reworked songs with orchestration and electronics — is due out June 5. It’s the follow-up to 2021’s The Bitter Truth.

“This album is over three years in the making, and finally listening back to it all at once, about to release it to the world, I am so damn proud of every second of it,” Lee says in a post on Evanescence’s website. “It’s overwhelming. Working on it has been my outlet for so much that feels wrong and out of control, and a place to ignite hope through the power of music and connection… good thing we have the tour all lined up or I wouldn’t know what to do with myself now!”

Lee adds, “I’ve been completely obsessed. I’m dying for the fans to hear this.”

Sanctuary includes the 2025 single “Afterlife,” which Evanescence recorded for the Netflix series Devil May Cry; it earned the band their first #1 hit on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. A second cut, called “Who Will You Follow,” is out now.

Evanescence is playing the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas on April 25 before launching a full U.S. tour with support from Spiritbox and Nova Twins in June.
