Tucker Wetmore’s giving fans a Sunburn Mixtape to take to the beach before summer draws to a close.
The new six-song EP includes his new radio single, “Who Told You That,” which came out earlier in July, as well as “Sunburn” from March and “Proving Me Right,” which dropped in December.
The July 31 collection adds three unreleased tracks: “Crazy to Yourself,” “98%” and “YOURS.”
If you’d like to study the song list more closely, that’s easy to do, since part of the project’s artwork includes a shirtless beach picture of Tucker’s impressive back, with the tracks seemingly suntanned onto to his skin.

Elvis Costello released his debut album, My Aim Is True, in the U.K. produced by musician Nick Lowe.
The album was released to critical acclaim, and included future Costello classics, “Alison” and “(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes.”
When it was released in the U.S. that November, it contained an additional track, “Watching the Detective,” which became the album’s first hit, peaking at #15 in the U.K.
While the album was recorded with the backing band Clover, they were uncredited on the record. Before the album’s actual release though, Costello formed a new band, The Attractions, which included musician Steve Nieve, who Costello continues to play with to this day.
Costello has gone on to release 32 studio albums, his last being 2022’s The Boy Named If.

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, one year ago Wednesday. He was 76.
Born John Michael Osbourne on Dec. 3, 1948, the man who would become known as the Prince of Darkness helped create the genre of heavy metal as the vocalist in the legendary Black Sabbath alongside guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward.
Following his departure from Sabbath in 1979, Ozzy launched a solo career, which spawned classic singles including “Crazy Train” and “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” He later reunited with Sabbath multiple times, including for their farewell tour, which concluded in 2017.
In between his musical career, Ozzy reached a broader audience as a star in the pioneering reality TV series The Osbournes, which also featured his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, and their children Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne.
Ozzy was also the subject of some of metal’s most outrageous moments, including when he bit the head off a bat during a concert in 1982.
“Ozzy was one of those indestructible forces,” Mastodon drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor tells ABC Audio. “Ozzy was always there, it’s so strange that he’s not here anymore.”
Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale adds that she was inspired by Ozzy’s “attitude toward life.”
“He led with love and complete joy and just always hungry for what’s next,” she says.
Ozzy dealt with a number of health issues in his later years, which kept him off the road. He returned to the stage for a final solo performance and alongside the original Sabbath lineup at the Back to the Beginning concert, which took place just two weeks before his death.
“To leave that kind of a legacy and to know that you’ve touched so many different people’s lives, yeah, I’m sure he went with a smile on his face,” Hale laughs.

Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne’s death, and his son, Jack Osbourne, has a request for fans who wish to honor the milestone.
“I want to fill the entire day, July 22, with just awesome Ozzy stories,” Jack says in a video posted to Instagram.
Jack suggests sharing a remembrance of seeing Ozzy live or what his music has meant to you, and asks that you tag posts with #OzzyDay so that he’ll see it.
“Please, get thinking, get posting, spread the love. That’s what my dad would want,” Jack says. “He would not want us to all be sat around, shedding tears, because that’s not his vibe. He did not like people crying in front of him. So, yeah, spread the love that way.”
Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, at age 76. He’d just performed for the last time alongside the original Black Sabbath lineup at the Back to the Beginning concert, which happened two weeks earlier on July 5.

Trivium’s most recent release is their 2025 EP, Struck Dead, which followed their 2021 album, In the Court of the Dragon. Longtime drummer Alex Bent left the group in 2025, and was first replaced by Greyson Nekrutman and then by Alex Rüdinger, who will be the band’s drummer going forward.
Warren Zeiders is going all-in on his third studio album, No Brakes, which is set to arrive Sept. 25.
Keeping with that philosophy, the 12-song project was made “primarily in a two day, twelve hour work session.”
“Life is inevitable,” Warren says. “Good things, bad things, it’s all coming at you – and you have to power on. There’s not really a choice, but why would you want one? That’s why the idea, all gas, no brakes really seemed like the right name for this album.”
The title track follows the previously released “Days of My Life” and “Drinking Game,” with the rest of the songs still to be revealed.
Zeiders hit #1 with his double-Platinum “Pretty Little Poison” in early 2024.
