Portugal. The Man has released a new song called “Phoenix” in collaboration with hitmaking DJ Marshmello.

“Growing up in Alaska as the son of dog mushers, music never felt like a reachable world, so there’s still a part of me that can’t believe I get to work with people I’ve looked up to—especially someone like Marshmello,” says PTM frontman John Gourley in a statement. “Working on ‘Phoenix’ with him was incredibly fun and easy, no ego, no overthinking—just chasing the feeling until it stuck.”

Gourley adds, “The song’s about that cycle—breaking down and coming back stronger—and I’m grateful for the trust and energy he brought into it.”

Marshmello has previously collaborated with alternative artists including Bastille and CHVRCHES.

Portugal. The Man’s most recent album is 2025’s SHISH, which includes the single “Tanana.”

Yellowcard has released a new song called “Go Go Go” in collaboration with children’s entertainer Blippi.

“Our kids have been watching Blippi for years, so getting to make a song together felt pretty surreal for us as dads,” Yellowcard says in a statement. “We’ve all seen Blippi exploring trucks and excavators at home with our families, so stepping into that world and creating ‘Go Go Go’ together was incredibly fun.”

The accompanying “Go Go Go” video features Yellowcard and Blippi packing a trunk with musical instruments and embarking on a journey to put on a concert. You can watch that streaming now on YouTube.

Yellowcard released a new album, Better Days, in 2025, marking their first record in nine years. They’ll launch a U.S. tour in May.

B5 is outside and active, hence the release of their new single, “ETA.”

The song is about the thrill and longing of waiting for that special person, a concept Dustin tells ABC Audio they came up while working in the studio.

“[We were] just bouncing ideas around and just stumbled upon the concept of ‘ETA,'” he explains. “And we ended up just coming up with a cool song about it.“

Kelly adds, “We just wanted to let people know that we’re outside, we never stop … so show up to where we at, what’s your ETA?“

While song releases are sometimes are a preview of an upcoming body of work, Dustin says this is a “calling card” indicating several projects to come.

“There’s a lot of things that B5 has in store. This is just the starting conversation piece. That’s what ‘ETA’ is about,” Patrick adds. “It’s leading up to more singles, more music videos, concerts, tours, even some TV, film things that’s happening as well. This is the jump off right now.”

“If y’all on a ride with us,” Dustin chimes in. “Y’all let us know what y’all ETA is.”

B5, which also includes members Bryan and Carnell, is currently on the road as part of the Boys 4 Life tour, which stops at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center Saturday. With 20 years in the game, Dustin says “it feels great … for us to be having interviews, still talking about music with our group. The fact we can stand the test of time says a lot and we’re just honestly just really thankful for it all.”

“Obviously, we have the best fans in the world,” Patrick says. “It’s an honor and it feels good to be here to still do what we’re all extremely passionate about and … love.” He continues, “We can’t wait to do 20 more if possible.”
