June 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

I Prevail has debuted a new single called “Paradise,” a collaboration with Amira Elfeky.

Elfeky, whose style is described in a press release as “alt goth x grunge,” will be opening for I Prevail on select dates of their upcoming tour of the U.K. and Europe beginning in September.

“We’ve been fans of Amira for a while,” I Prevail says in a statement. “She has such a distinct sound and style. The opportunity to write together came up super organically and we instantly connected on this crazy concept for a song.”

“We all saw the vision for it almost right away,” the band continues. “That’s a rare and beautiful thing when it happens. We still don’t think we know exactly what we made. We never had to stop to think about it. We just made it.”

You can watch the video for “Paradise” streaming now on YouTube.

“Paradise” follows follows I Prevail’s 2025 album, Violent Nature, which marked their first following the departure of vocalist Brian Burkheiser. It spawned the single “Into Hell.”

I Prevail will be touring the U.S. starting in October alongside Three Days Grace.

‘The Time of My Life’: Watch Benson Boone’s ‘favorite piece of work’ he has ‘ever made’

June 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Benson Boone has teamed up with social media star Alix Earle to create what he calls an “epic” video for his new song, “The Time of My Life.”

In the elaborate clip, Benson and Alix play actors ready to go onstage in a theater, but Benson is distracted by the thought that the woman he loves may not attend. The two then act out a series of fairy-tale like scenarios: They meet on a medieval, Beauty and the Beast-like street, engage in swordplay in a tavern, fight dragons and eventually end up at an altar, ready to marry.

Throughout the performance, the camera repeatedly cuts to an empty chair with a sign that reads “Reserved.” When it comes time for Benson to kiss the bride, he can’t go through with it. Instead, he runs off the stage, out of the theater and through a portal, where he tries to reach the woman he’s been missing, but can’t get to her.

The camera then cuts back to the altar, where Benson realizes Alix is actually the woman for him and plants a big kiss on her.

Benson wrote on Instagram, “I have had The Time Of My Life creating this song and video. Thank you to the incredible @alixearle you are a dream and you made this whole shoot come to life. I hope you guys enjoy this song so much, I’ve probably said this 90 kabillion times but this is my favorite piece of work I have ever made and I’m so proud of it.”

“Love you guys, and I love this life,” he adds. “I’ll never take it for granted”

Alix wrote in the comments, “So grateful to be a part of something so special. still cry every time I hear this song.”

Watch trailer for Tom DeLonge-produced animated series, ‘Breaking Bear’

June 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

A new trailer is out for Breaking Bear, the adult animated series executive produced by blink-182’s Tom DeLonge.

The show follows a family of anthropomorphic bears who “run a drug empire to raise money to save their forest from frackers and an endless array of psychotic enemies,” according to its description. Or, as DeLonge previously stated when the project was first announced back in 2022, it’s “just a ridiculous show about animals doing drugs.”

The trailer, which is streaming on YouTube, certainly lives up to that promise, alongside the type of humor you might expect from someone whose band just celebrated the 25th anniversary of an album called Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.

Breaking Bear stars the voices of Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, Josh Gad and Elizabeth Hurley, among others. It will premiere July 24 on Tubi.

Blink-182, meanwhile, recently announced a run of European dates, set to kick off in June 2027.

On This Day, June 26, 1965: The Byrds hit #1 with ‘Mr. Tambourine Man’

June 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

On This Day, June 26, 1965…

The Byrds hit #1 on the Billboard singles chart with their debut single, a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man.” It became the first recording of a Dylan song to reach number one on any pop music chart.

The track would be one of two #1 hits for the group. The other, “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season),” would top the chart six months later.

Dylan’s version of the song appeared on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The Byrds’ version was released less than a month after Dylan’s, and became the title track of their debut album.

Both versions of the song have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

‘Hands Up’: Jelly Roll’s new song captures 3 moments of his life

June 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If you watched the annual CMA Fest special Thursday on ABC, you got to witness Jelly Roll putting his “Hands Up” as he debuted his new radio single on national TV.

For the man born Jason Bradley DeFord, it’s an expression whose meaning has changed through the years.

“Man, this song is really just three snapshots of my life,” Jelly Roll reflects. “The first time I threw my hands up was at a concert as a kid, realizing music was bigger than anything I’d ever felt before. The second time was with a cop telling me to put ’em up because I was out there making some terrible decisions.”

“Then the third time was in a church,” he continues, “finally surrendering and giving God some things I couldn’t carry anymore. Same two words, hands up, but they meant something completely different in every season of my life.”

HARDY is one of Jelly Roll’s co-writers on “Hands Up.”

Jelly Roll’s most recent trip to #1 came back in March with Shaboozey and “Amen,” which spent two weeks at the top.

The music of INXS to be subject of new ballet

June 26, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The music of INXS is going to be the subject of a new ballet opening in the band’s native Australia.

The Queensland Ballet has teamed with HOTA, Home of the Arts, Gold Coast, for the new contemporary ballet Elegantly Wasted, featuring dance interpretations of the band’s songs.

“INXS have always embraced exploring new ideas and the different ways our music can connect with people,” INXS founding member and composer Andrew Farriss says in a statement. “This ballet is a fresh artistic interpretation that stands in its own space. It’s not about the band’s story but shows how our music can inspire new forms of expression.”

He adds, “It’s exciting to see the work approached from a completely new perspective. … [W]e’re looking forward to seeing how it comes to life.”

The production is described as a “striking contemporary work that charts a compelling shift from artifice to awareness, from surface to soul. It invites us to question what we perform, what we conceal, and what we might rediscover if we dare to be seen without filters.”

Elegantly Wasted was the band’s 10th studio album and its final album recorded with frontman Michael Hutchence before his 1997 death.
