Lamb of God has released a new single called “Sepsis.” 

The track is accompanied by a video filmed in the metal outfit’s hometown of Richmond, Virginia, which you can watch on YouTube.

“‘Sepsis’ is a celebration of the very underground local bands here in Richmond that we really admired when we were just forming Burn the Priest,” says guitarist Mark Morton, referring to LoG’s original name. “Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger—though they never got widespread attention outside of Richmond, those were the bands we listened to all the time. The song references that stuff in a way that’s a direct line to where we were coming from when we were in the basement writing our earliest material together.”

“Sepsis” follows Lamb of God’s 2022 album, Omens. Since then, they teamed up with Mastodon for the collaborative single “Floods of Triton” and released a cover of Black Sabbath‘s “Children of the Grave” following their performance at the Back to the Beginning Ozzy Osbourne farewell concert.

Doja Cat is known to the world as a singer, rapper, songwriter and producer, but on Wednesday night she flaunted her skills as an emcee. Doja served as co-host on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, rocking a metallic-colored look inspired by the ’80s, much like her latest album, Vie. 

While on the show, she reenacted a heated scene from The Real Housewives of Miami with The Roots‘ Tarik Trotter, helped Jimmy read their favorite #MyRoommateIsWeird social media posts and listened to Fallon, Questlove and Steve Higgins‘ elevator pitches for Vie.

She played a game of song scramble, showed off her favorite ’80s dance move and talked about Fortnite, displaying her new Mother of Thorns skin for the video game.

Elsewhere in the show, Doja helped Fallon interview guest Druski and welcomed Blood Orange onstage for a live performance of “Somewhere in Between.”

Doja’s Tonight Show gig followed the release of Vie and marked her first time co-hosting the show. She is set to appear as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on Oct. 11.

The Who wrapped their The Song Is Over – The North American Farewell Tour at the Acrisure Arena near Palm Springs, California, Wednesday night, treating the crowd to a set filled with hits.

For their last tour stop ever in the U.S., setlist.fm reports that Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend played songs like “Who Are You,” “The Seeker,” “I Can See for Miles,” “Pinball Wizard,” “My Generation,” “The Real Me,” “Baba O’Riley” and more.

The duo ended the night with just the two of them on stage for an acoustic performance of “Tea and Theatre,” and fan shot footage shared on YouTube shows Roger putting his arm around Pete at the end of the song and pulling him in for a side hug, with Pete grabbing Roger’s hand.

“I suppose, you know, it’s goodbye,” Pete said during their final bows. “That’s what it is. To what we know as the Who, it’s goodbye.”

As for the future, he added, “What Roger and I will get up to next, who knows? If we last any longer, I’m sure we’ll get up to all kinds of mischief. We’ll do stuff together, I’m sure, sharing some stuff, all kinds bits and pieces. But for this kind of thing, it’s goodbye. And you were last!”

Roger went on to thank fans “for all the years showing up for us,” adding “it was every band’s dream in the ’60s to make it in America and thanks to you guys, you made it happen for us.”

So far there’s no word on whether The Who will bring their farewell tour to other parts of the world.

María Zardoya of The Marías has announced her debut album with her new solo project, Not for Radio.

The record is called Melt, and is due out Oct. 10.

“My intention with this project was to make music for the love of experimenting, far from home, fully in the moment, open to whatever stream of consciousness unfolded around us,” Zardoya shares in an Instagram post. “And that’s exactly what we did in the snowy woods, tucked away, as ice melted beneath our feet and as we melted into the songs. What grew from the melted ice is this album.”

Zardoya previously announced the launch of Not for Radio in August, noting that The Marías will “be here forever,” but she “wanted to challenge myself to make a project that resonated with me in a different way.”

The most recent Marías album is 2024’s Submarine, which includes the singles “Run Your Mouth” and “No One Noticed.” Since then, they’ve put out the single “Back to Me.”

The Monkees’ fourth studio album, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd, is set to be reissued on vinyl and as a massive deluxe box set.

The vinyl reissue, coming Friday, is part of the Rhino High Fidelity series, and was pressed from the original analog stereo master reels, something that has never been done before due to the difficulty accessing the original masters. The reissue is limited to 5,000 individually numbered copies and will be available at Rhino.com.

And for the true Monkees fan, Rhino will also be releasing a super deluxe edition of the album, featuring more than 100 tracks, and plenty of bonus material. The four-CD set comes with the original mono and stereo mixes of the album, along with new stereo and alternate mono mixes.

There are also two CDs, made up of previously unreleased session recordings, demos, outtakes and backing tracks, as well as television mixes that are getting their first-ever physical release. Plus, the set comes with a 7-inch single featuring previously unreleased mono mixes of “Love Is Only Sleeping” and “Goin’ Down.”

There are also new liner notes from Andrew Sandoval, who produced the box set, and a 32-page booklet featuring rare photos and more.

It is available now at Monkees.com.

Released in November 1967, Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd, features the classic Monkees hit “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” which peaked at #3 on the singles chart. The album was the fourth consecutive #1 for the band — made up of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork — and went on to sell over 3 million copies.

There’s no doubt about it: Jackson Dean is willing to suffer for his art. 

If you need proof, just check out the video for his latest hit or the cover of the album it’s on, On the Back of My Dreams. 

“That shot was a mile up on the side of a mountain in Paradise Valley, in the middle of January,” he says of the record cover. “That shot was probably negative 28. The ‘Heavens to Betsy’ video is probably negative 50 plus the wind chill at sundown.”

“Yeah, cold times out there,” he adds. “Definitely a little sacrifice of body going on for that.”

It’s a sacrifice that’s paid off, as “Heavens to Betsy” is currently a top-10 country hit.

It’s been 50 years since The Rocky Horror Picture Show hit the big screen, attracting fans across the globe.

The film, starring Barry Bostwick, Susan Sarandon and Tim Curry, gained a cult following thanks to its rock ‘n’ roll soundtrack and midnight screenings, where fans dressed up as characters, acted out the film and talked back to the screen.

Before rock stardom, Meat Loaf appeared in the film as motorcyclist Eddie. His co-star Nell Campbell, who played groupie Columbia in the film, tells ABC Audio that he was an “absolute darling.”

“He was a big Texan baby with a voice of an angel with a jet engine behind it,” Campbell says of the musician, who died in 2022. “We all adored him.”

And one member of the cast got to do more than just act opposite him.

Patricia Quinn, who played Magenta in the film, says she made Meat Loaf prove a boast he made about being the best kisser at his Texas high school.

“I said, ‘Well, one would have to sample that.’ So I proffered my mouth towards him and we began to kiss,” she shares. “And I said, ‘They were right. You are the best kisser — in your high school in Texas.’” 

The 50th anniversary of Rocky Horror is being celebrated with The Rocky Horror Picture Show Spectacular tour, with appearances by Bostwick, Quinn and Campbell. It will hit 55 cities in the U.S. and Canada, including Washington, D.C., on Thursday.

Plus, throughout October fans can catch a newly restored 4K version of the film in theaters; the 4K version will arrive on Blu-ray and on digital platforms on Oct. 7.

The soundtrack is also getting a 50th anniversary deluxe edition on red-in-gold vinyl on Oct. 10.

Janet Jackson‘s feature on Cardi B‘s Am I the Drama? song “Principal” has earned her a spot on the Billboard Hot 100, where she has managed to chart in five separate decades.

The song debuted at #92 on the list dated Oct. 4 after garnering 4.9 million streams, 1,000 sales downloads and 725,000 radio audience impressions in the U.S. for the Sept. 19 to Sept. 25 tracking week, according to Luminate.

With its new placement on the chart, Janet has had a new Hot 100 hit in every decade since the ’80s. She shares this accomplishment with Cher and Madonna, the only other women to have charted new songs on the Hot 100 in five different decades.

Janet now has a total of 42 Hot 100 hits under her belt, having earned 10 in the ’80s, 19 in the ’90s, 10 in the 2000s, two in the 2010s and one in the 2020s. The latest, Cardi B’s “Principal,” samples her very own “The Pleasure Principle,” which earned the MTV Video Music Award for best choreography in 1988.
