Twenty One Pilots‘ Josh Dun has shared a drum cover of the Turnstile song “T.L.C. (TURNSTILE LOVE CONNECTION).”

The performance is featured on Dun’s YouTube channel, where he’s also posted drum covers of Metallica‘s “Master of Puppets” and Rage Against the Machine‘s “Bulls on Parade.”

“Posting songs that inspire me in some way or another. Whether that’s just a feeling or a desire to get better,” Dun says. “[Turnstile’s] Daniel Fang is a drummer worth watching to get inspired, and this song is rad.”

Dun just paid tribute to another drummer, Meg White, when Twenty One Pilots covered “Seven Nation Army” in honor of The White Stripes getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 

Turnstile, meanwhile, released a new album, NEVER ENOUGH, in June. It was accompanied by a visual album that premiered at the Tribeca Festival.

With a busy 2025 behind him, Dylan Scott doesn’t have a date on the books until April 2026, though that’s certain to change once he announces his new tour. 

With “What He’ll Never Have” continuing its climb in country’s top 20, it’s a good time for Dylan to enjoy the fruits of his labor. 

So what are his plans for the holidays?

“Whatever my wife tells me we’re doin’, that’s what we’re doin’,” Dylan quips.

At least for turkey day, that means he and Blair Robinson will head for his hometown, before leaving 8-year-old Beckett Robinson, 6-year-old Finley Robinson and 2-year-old Barron Robinson behind. 

“This year, Thanksgiving, we’re taking the kids to Louisiana,” he tells ABC Audio, “and then the grandparents are gonna watch the kids while my wife and I go to New York City right after Thanksgiving.” 

“So I’m thankful this year for grandparents,” he adds.  

Dylan just released “Two Christmas Trees” for the 2025 holiday, a cover of a song his father wrote in the ’80s. If you’re looking for more familiar yuletide tunes from Dylan, you can check out his Merry Christmas album from 2019.

The Pretty Reckless‘ Taylor Momsen has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season.

For one, her band’s latest single, “For I Am Death,” hit #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, giving The Pretty Reckless their eighth leader on the ranking.

“It’s very cool!” Momsen tells ABC Audio of the “For I Am Death” success. “It’s kind of surreal, we haven’t even played it live yet.”

“For I Am Death” premiered in August and marked the first new, original Pretty Reckless material in four years.

“It’s kind of blowing my mind a little bit, but in the best way possible,” Momsen says. “I love that song so much, so I’m proud it’s the first thing we’ve put out in awhile, and I’m so thankful that people like it.”

Meanwhile, Momsen performed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Nov. 8 in honor of Soundgarden, and The Pretty Reckless put out a holiday EP featuring a rocking version of Momsen’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas song “Where Are You Christmas?” And if that weren’t enough, Momsen is performing during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on Thursday.

“The universe is aligned or something, I don’t know,” Momsen laughs.

Kevin Jonas fears telling his brothers he wants to sing lead in A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, but in real life, he he recently released his first solo single, “Changing.” That, however, doesn’t mean an album is the next step.

Speaking to Billboard‘s Pop Shop podcast, Kevin says he’s been “recording more music.” However, since he’s an independent artist, he can “do kind of whatever I want, so I don’t have to follow specific rules” regarding releases.

“I don’t know if an album’s in the works. Maybe an EP, maybe just a collection of some music that I like over the course of the year,” he adds. “I really don’t have exact plans. I know the next song I want to release, but as of right now, I’m gonna get through this one first.”

Kevin also says in the interview that a Christmas movie was a “bucket-list item” for Jonas Brothers, who wanted to make one from back in their early days on the Disney Channel. However, he notes, “It really happened at the right time. Our families are involved. I think we can speak to the adult nature of things now, at the same time of allowing it to be just enough fun so kids will love it.”

Kevin also explains how he got through the film, as he isn’t an experienced like brothers Nick and Joe Jonas.

“I leaned on [Joe and Nick] a lot. I worked with an amazing acting coach … I really called him every day,” he says.

He continues, “Playing yourself to start is a weird challenge… I just kind of had to do the best version.”

During Foo Fighters‘ performance on Amazon Music Live in October, Dave Grohl and company performed in the round on the floor without any elevation. Now the Foos are giving an inside look at how the show came together.

The “Everlong” rockers have shared hand-drawn pictures of the stage design, presumably created by Grohl. A drawing of the overhead view shows where each of the members would stand around drummer Ilan Rubin.

You can check out the drawings via the Foo Fighters Facebook.

Grohl previously took to pen and paper to bring his stage ideas to life when he created a hand-drawn image of the elaborate throne that he sat in during the Foos’ 2015 tour after breaking his leg at a show earlier that year.

Perhaps Grohl is currently drawing the stage setup for Foo Fighters’ 2026 stadium tour, which launches in the U.S. in August.
