The Linda Lindas have premiered a new song called “Blood on Our Hands,” a track off the band’s upcoming album, Gotta Get Out.

“We’re living in very dark times and it’s really easy to feel hopeless,” says bassist Eloise Wong. “‘Blood on Our Hands’ is about doing what you can, not just on national boycott days and marches, but thinking every day about where your money goes and what you put your money towards, and we have to do our best to support each other.”

You can watch the video for “Blood on Our Hands” on YouTube.

Gotta Get Out, the follow-up to 2024’s No Obligation, is due out Aug. 28. It also includes the previously released song “Burning Out” and a collaboration with Paramore’s Hayley Williams called “Closer.”

The Linda Lindas will launch a U.S. tour in September.

Sevendust will launch their Dead/Seven U.S. tour with Theory of a Deadman Friday in Duluth, Minnesota. As Sevendust drummer Morgan Rose tells ABC Audio, he’s hoping to convert some new fans during the run.

“[Our agent] has these ideas to put together tours that some people might go ‘Hmm’ to,” Rose says. “The crossover effect, I think, is what we’re looking forward to.”

“We’re always looking to try to play in front of people that might not have seen us before or maybe thought, ‘Uh, I don’t know about those guys,'” Rose continues. “Then hopefully we can catch ’em.”

While they may be 15 albums and over 30 years into their career, the Sevendust members still have that hunger to prove themselves, which they rediscovered during a recent trip to Europe.

“We were able to go over there and play in front of a bunch of people that didn’t know us,” Rose says. “To watch that thing move from people looking at you, like, ‘What is this?’ and then three songs in I’m looking over at my tech going, ‘Got ’em,’ and it’s like, ‘Oh, damn! This feels like it did in 1997.’ So, whenever you get those opportunities you jump at those.”

For those already among the Sevendust heads, you can expect to hear songs from throughout the band’s career, as well as tracks from their new album, One, which dropped in May.

“I think we were playing three new ones on the last run, which is super lofty for us,” Rose says. “I don’t even remember us ever doing that since maybe [2003’s] Seasons [album].”

Foo Fighters have released a new live EP, Foo Fighters Are Playing Where??? Vol. II.

Miranda Lambert’s checking into the “Sunset Marquis” for the latest preview of her Crisco album, which arrives Oct. 2. 

It’s inspired by the West Hollywood hotel known as a haven for musicians, actors and other artists. 

“I’ve been staying at the Sunset Marquis for close to 20 years,” Miranda says. “Every time I’m there, you never know who you’re going to run into or what kind of memories you’re going to make. It has this timeless energy that feels like stepping into another era.”

“When we wrote this song,” she continues, “I wanted listeners to be able to close their eyes and feel like they were there with us – to see it, smell it and experience the magic that’s made the Sunset Marquis such a special place for so many years.”

“The House That Built Me” hitmaker co-wrote the new track alongside frequent collaborators like Ashley Monroe and Waylon Payne. 

It’s also featured in the If These Walls Could Rock documentary about the Sunset Marquis, which comes to streaming Aug. 14.

Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire’s show in San Francisco was canceled last minute Thursday night due to a “medical emergency” involving a member of the band.

Earth, Wind & Fire announced the news in a social media post just minutes before the concert was set to begin at the Chase Center.

“We are unable to perform as scheduled tonight at Chase Center in San Francisco due to a medical emergency involving a member of our band,” the message read. “As a result, tonight’s show with Lionel Richie will be rescheduled, with a new date to be announced soon.”

“Ticket holders should retain their tickets, which will be honored for the new date, or refunds will be available at the point of purchase,” the statement added. “We sincerely apologize for the unexpected change and appreciate everyone’s understanding.”

No word on which band member was sick.

Back in June, Lionel Richie had to postpone two concerts after falling ill onstage during the first night of the tour.

The tour’s next scheduled date is Saturday in Palm Desert, California.
