Metallica has announced the definitive re-release of its quadruple platinum seventh studio album ReLoad, to be released June 26th via the band’s own Blackened Recordings.
Remastered by Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering with Greg Fidelman overseeing, the ReLoad Remastered Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set is available now for pre-order at https://metallica.lnk.to/reloadreissue where full package details and track listings can be viewed. Pre-orders of the Deluxe Box will receive instant grat versions of “The Memory Remains” including the remastered original recording, Instrumental Mix, Take 18 Floor Take, and Live in Brisbane.
ReLoad (Remastered) is available in formats including standard 180g 2LP, Wal-Mart exclusive color 140g 2LP, CD, 3CD Expanded Edition, cassette and digital (including a Spatial Audio mix using Atmos). Pre-orders and pre-saves of all configurations include “The Memory Remains (Remastered)” instant grat. Additionally, “The Memory Remains (Live in Philadelphia)” video is live now at https://metallica.lnk.to/TheMemoryRemainsPhilly97
The ReLoad Remastered Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set is a passionately and thoroughly curated document of 1997-1998 era Metallica, bursting with exclusives including previously unreleased demos, rough mixes, live performances, on-air and television appearances, and much more. This one-time numbered pressing features the remastered ReLoad album on 180g double vinyl, “The Memory Remains” 7”, and Live at Ministry of Sound ’97, a 140g triple album recorded live. The set’s 15 CDs range from the remastered ReLoad album to never-before-released collections of riffs, demos and rough mixes, B-Sides and rarities, and a wealth of live material, while its 4 DVDs offer a plethora of behind the scenes, in-studio and live footage, on-air and television appearances, the band’s pop-up performance at the CoreStates Complex Parking Lot in Philadelphia, visits to Seoul, and more. Rounding out the box’s content are memorabilia including a pack of 13 Rorschach Test cards, an 11×17 Gimme Fuel poster, a sticker, a Pushead print, a 10-pack of guitar/bass picks, lyric sheets, three laminated tour passes and a deluxe 128-page book with never-before-seen photos and stories from whose who were there.
The release of ReLoad (Remastered) also marks the opening of the #GetTheReLoadOut fan cover competition. Last year, thousands of Metallica fans across social media submitted their interpretations of Load tracks for the #GetTheLoadOut Fan Cover Competition. The band is opening up round two — this time as #GetTheReLoadOut — to celebrate the ReLoad reissue with a new second category: In addition to the more traditional musical covers, performance and visual artists are also invited to participate. A different track off the album will be highlighted each week throughout the competition, culminating in two Grand Prize Winners each taking home a Metallica-autographed ReLoad Remastered Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set.
Originally released November 18, 1997, ReLoad was the third consecutive Metallica album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200, ultimately spending nearly 80 weeks on the chart and attaining #1 status in six countries, and top 10 in nearly a dozen more. The 1995-1997 sessions at The Plant in Sausalito CA that yielded both ReLoad and Load found James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Jason Newsted exploring expanded creative terrain and pushing the boundaries of Metallica’s sonic identity. On ReLoad, this meant bold decisions ranging from the inclusion of hurdy-gurdy and violin on the somber “Low Man’s Lyric” to Marianne Faithfull’s haunting guest vocal on “The Memory Remains.” Like its 1996 predecessor, ReLoad has only grown in stature in the years since its release, with its incendiary opener “Fuel” and the timeless “The Memory Remains” remaining staples of the band’s setlists on the ongoing M72 World Tour.

FOO FIGHTERS
YOUR FAVORITE TOY
NEW ALBUM OUT NOW
Photo Credit: Elizabeth Miranda
“an energy-lifting listen… punchy, catchy and stadium tour ready.” –– ASSOCIATED PRESS
“a vital recalibration” — FLOOD
“The biggest surprise ends up being how refreshed, potent, and unexpectedly fun it feels after 30 years in the game.” — ALLMUSIC
Foo Fighters proudly present their hotly anticipated, awesomely heavy new album, Your Favorite Toy, out today via Roswell Records/RCA Records.
The 12th album in Foo Fighters’ 15-GRAMMY-Award-winning discography, Your Favorite Toy’s arrival was heralded over the last several months by the “back-to-basics garage-rock delivered in a welter of noisy guitars” (The New York Times) of its title track,“thunderous tone-setter” (Associated Press) “Caught In The Echo,” the “fist-pounding” (Revolver) “Of All People,” and “characteristically intense rocker” (UPROXX) “Asking For A Friend.”
Your Favorite Toy ushers in a new chapter of Foo Fighters’ longtime dominance at multiple radio formats, its string of chart-toppers beginning with last fall’s release of “Asking For A Friend” in the wake of the band’s ecstatically received surprise club shows. The handful of intimate one-offs, in locales ranging from San Luis Obispo CA to Washington DC, begs the question of whether Your Favorite Toy’s release will see similar spontaneous Foo Fighters underplays.
Your Favorite Toy’s release also coincides with the intriguing new video for “Window.” Developed from an original concept by Dave Grohl and directed by Jake Erland, this visual interpretation of one of the new album’s multiple standouts takes viewers on a journey of detached voyeurism: The video stars Craig Parkinson as a window cleaner scaling the glass and steel exterior of a massive skyscraper, observing the various inhabitants of each floor while he remains virtually invisible. To enter the isolated world of the window cleaner and follow along on his vertical trek, go to: https://foofighters.lnk.to/window-vid
Be sure to stay tuned to Foo Fighters site and socials for further audio, visual and potentially in-the-flesh surprises coming soon.
Recorded at home, Your Favorite Toy was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent. The album consists of the following songs—all now available to stream, download and/or buy on vinyl and other physical formats: https://foofighters.lnk.to/yourfavoritetoy
Caught In The Echo
Of All People

Your Favorite Toy’s release will be followed closely by the opening of Foo Fighters’ massive Take Cover world tour, which kicks off with next week’s sold out April 28th show at the Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, CT and makes stops at this year’s Welcome to Rockville and Bottlerock festivals before resuming with the sold out opener of its European leg June 10th at Unity Arena in Oslo, Norway. The tour’s swing through North American begins August 4th at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, running through to a September 26th date at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and featuring support from Queens of the Stone Age, Mannequin Pussy and more. For more information on the rock ’n’ roll stadium tour of the summer, go to https://foofighters.com/tour-dates/
Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin.
BECK
RIDE LONESOME SINGLE & TOUR
“Ride Lonesome” Single and Video Out Now
North American Dates On Sale Friday, April 24th at 10am local time at beck.com
Yesterday, eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck unveiled the stunning new surprise single, “Ride Lonesome.”
Today, Beck follows that hypnotically sublime ballad with the announcement of the Ride Lonesome Tour, a 25-date trek stopping at some of North America’s most renowned theaters and amphitheaters.
The Ride Lonesome Tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off September 16th at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31st at The Truth in Nashville.
Tickets for Beck’s Ride Lonesome Tour go on sale Friday, April 24th at 10am local time. For further information, go to Beck.com.
Produced by Beck and Mixed by Nigel Godrich, the song “Ride Lonesome” evokes the beautiful and haunting sonic landscapes and textures of 2015 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner Morning Phase and its spiritual predecessor, 2002’s classic Sea Change—and features multiple musicians who played on those milestone releases. From the resonant acoustic guitar strains of its opening to the emotional peaks of its final chorus, this long-awaited new original composition is the first indication of a different yet familiar direction for Beck in the year ahead.
Citi is the official card of the Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 21st at 11am local time until Thursday, April 23rd at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program.

VIDURA BANDARA RAJAPAKSA ANNOUNCES

Photo Credit: Jennifer McCord
Today, comedian, writer, and director Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa announced additional dates for his 2026 Paradise Gothic Tour across Asia, Australia, and North America. The 29-date run kicks off on May 22nd in Bengaluru, India with additional stops across Asia, followed by shows in Australia in June. The tour concludes in North America with stops in Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC, Austin, Chicago, San Francisco, and more, before wrapping on October 15th in Portland, OR.
Vidura Bandara Rajapaksa returns with Paradise Gothic, a sharp, darkly funny new hour exploring immigration, the absurdities of attempting to build a life within late-stage capitalism, and beyond. With his trademark deadpan delivery and postcolonial wit, Vidura takes on corporate tech culture, spiritual burnout, and the strange comedy of trying to stay human in a world running by numbers. Smart, subversive, and quietly explosive; this is Vidura at his most fearless.
Tickets will be available starting via artist presale on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 10am local time. General on-sale begins on Friday, April 17, 2026 at 10am local time. Visit vidurabr.com for tickets and more info.

If you agree with VICE when they say “unhinged Dave Grohl is my favorite version of Dave Grohl,” Foo Fighters have delivered your new favorite song: “Of All People.” Fresh from its first time being played in the presence of other humans February 22nd in Dingle, Ireland, the newly released early Husker Du-esque rager is the latest advance offering from Foo Fighters’ forthcoming 12th album, Your Favorite Toy, out April 24th via Roswell Records/RCA Records.
“Of All People” is available in all its glorious ferocity to stream, download or visualize. To witness the song’s live debut singing the eyebrows off 80 or so fortunate souls packed into tiny St. James Church, check out Foo Fighters’ performance on long running RTÉ TV series Other Voices HERE.

SOCIAL DISTORTION
“Partners In Crime”
Second Advance Track From Born To Kill Available Now
New Album Out May 8th on Epitaph Records
Social Distortion has unleashed “Partners In Crime,” the second advance taste of its long-awaited eighth album, Born To Kill. An unabashed and anthemic celebration of a lifetime dedicated to rock ’n’ roll, “Partners In Crime” can be heard alongside the album’s previously unveiled title track at https://socialdistortion.ffm.to/borntokill
“‘Partners In Crime’ is about finding your voice, especially if you weren’t allowed or if it didn’t matter,” says Social Distortion founder Mike Ness. “And finding comfort in others who share the same sentiment, angst and rage. Strength in unity.”
Set for release May 8 via Epitaph, Born To Kill is more than the conclusion to a 15-year wait between Social Distortion albums, it’s a revelation: 11 songs of pure, unadulterated rock fury, joy and catharsis, all imbued with the signature blend of defiance and world-weariness that has made Ness a poet and sage to the dispossessed for more than 40 years.
Hailed by ROLLING STONE as “still full of piss and vinegar,” Born To Kill wastes no time letting the listener know where its heart is: its hard-charging title track — closing in on 3 million streams in the month since it dropped — paying respects to Lou Reed (“Rock ’n’ Roll Animal gonna come your way!”) and Iggy and the Stooges (“The agenda is yeah to Search and Destroy”) and lionizing David Bowie (“It’s a Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide”) on the newly released “Partners In Crime.” This is a man, a band, and a record that wear their influences proudly while creating timeless anthems and ballads that both chart Social Distortion’s path forward and celebrate its storied past: “Tonight” and “The Way Things Were” are emotionally charged reminiscences in the vein of classics like “Story of My Life” from the band’s eponymous 1990 breakthrough and “I Was Wrong” from 1996’s White Light, White Heat, White Trash, the latter containing a potent distillation of the Social D ethos: “I wrote a song with a stolen riff / If you ain’t got a song you ain’t got shit.”
The track listing for Born To Kill is:
Born To Kill
No Way Out
The Way Things Were
Tonight
Partners In Crime
Crazy Dreamer
Wicked Game
Walk Away (Don’t Look Back)
Never Goin’ Back Again
Don’t Keep Me Hanging On
Over You
Co-produced by Ness and Dave Sardy, and featuring guest appearances from Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Lucinda Williams, and collaborative cover art by Ness and Shepard Fairey, Born To Kill is the latest installment in a remarkable catalog that spans nearly three generations, including Mommy’s Little Monster (1983), Prison Bound (1988), the RIAA gold-certified Social Distortion (1990) and Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell (1992), White Light, White Heat, White Trash (1996), Sex, Love and Rock ’n’ Roll (2004), and Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes (2011).
Social Distortion will support Born To Kill with an extensive North American tour, featuring support from The Descendents and The Chats. The tour kicks off August 25 in Phoenix and plays a total of 25 shows in 22 cities before concluding October 3 in San Diego.

RADIOHEAD
MOTION PICTURE HOUSE
KID A MNESIA
Limited Run to Debut at Coachella Bunker April 10
Followed by Installations in Brooklyn, Chicago, Mexico City, San Francisco
VIEW THE TRAILER HERE
Radiohead have confirmed the impending existence of Motion Picture House featuring KID A MNESIA. Motion Picture House is a large scale audiovisual installation built to house KID A MNESIA, a film comprised of the artwork Thom Yorke and Stanley Donwood created during the making of landmark Radiohead albums Kid A and Amnesiac, set to a soundtrack derived from those original multitracks. Motion Picture House will also host galleries featuring full scale artwork by Yorke and Donwood from that era.
Fans will recall the KID A MNESIA exhibition directed by Sean Evans and featured on Epic Games Store and PS5, aptly described by The Verge as “unsettling and beautiful.” KID A MNESIA was originally intended as an experience in a physical space and while the pandemic necessitated Epic Games’ Unreal Engine transporting the project to a virtual world, Motion Picture House is an actualization of the original idea: an opportunity for audiences to be completely enveloped in the world of Kid A and Amnesiac. In the flesh, on a large scale and featuring a custom built 6-point surround system for which the music was specifically remixed, KID A MNESIA features a narrative designed by its creators—in Thom Yorke’s words—“in which a Monster is trapped in a derelict museum of the lost & forgotten.” Gorgeous, visceral and slightly anxiety-inducing, KID A MNESIA is an epic wander through the masterpieces that inspired it—a time and place that 25 years ago, Radiohead cautioned us to enter at our own peril.
KID A MNESIA will debut underground at Coachella’s brand new bunker… yes, it’s an actual 17,000 square foot bunker with 38 foot high ceilings buried beneath the Empire Polo Fields that host Coachella, specifically created for KID A MNESIA. All Coachella ticket holders are eligible to enter.
Following Coachella, Motion Picture House: KID A MNESIA will appear in a handful of cities across North America for a limited time:
May 6 – 31
Brooklyn – Agger Fish Building
July 30- August 23
Chicago – Cinespace Studio
October 27- November 15
Mexico City – La Maravilla Studios
January 14 – February 7
San Francisco – Palace of Fine Arts
Tickets to the above engagements are available Thursdays through Sundays in two-hour slots: 75 minutes for the audiovisual experience and extra time to explore the gallery and the surrounding space.
In an attempt to eliminate bots and third parties, Radiohead will use Fair AXS: designed to make ticket buying more fair and transparent. Fans are invited to pre-register at kida-mnesia.com where they will be randomly selected for the opportunity to access pre-sale tickets.
The pre-registration window is open now through April 12 at 11:59 pm PT. Fans must register during this period to be eligible for the presale, which begins Wednesday, April 22. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public starting Friday, April 24 at 10 am local time.

Paul McCartney Announces New Album
The Boys of Dungeon Lane
Brand new song – “Days We Left Behind” – Available Now
Album Out May 29th via MPL/Capitol Records – available to pre-order now
The Boys of Dungeon Lane is not only the first new solo album to be released by Paul McCartney in over five years; it is a collection of rare and revealing glimpses into memories never-before shared along with some newly inspired love songs, from one of the most culturally significant figures of our time.
With The Boys of Dungeon Lane, Paul McCartney turns the lens inward, revisiting the formative years that shaped not only his life, but the very foundations of modern popular culture. In a career defined by timeless storytelling and unforgettable characters, Paul now tells the most personal story of all, his own. The Boys of Dungeon Lane is his most introspective album to date and takes the listener back to where it all began.
These extraordinary new songs find Paul in a candid, vulnerable and deeply reflective mood, writing with rare openness about his childhood in post-war Liverpool, the resilience of his parents, and early adventures shared with George Harrison and John Lennon long before the world had ever heard of Beatlemania. These were the years that historians continue to examine, the quiet, unguarded days that unknowingly laid the groundwork for a cultural revolution. Paul visits them not as myths or folklore but as his own memories.
The album takes its title from one of the many standout tracks which is available now, “Days We Left Behind,” a stripped-back and deeply intimate track that captures the emotional core of the project. Dungeon Lane is a place Paul still sees when returning home serving as a symbolic gateway to a pre-fame world: afternoons by the Mersey, birdwatching book in hand, “smoky bars and cheap guitars”, and dreams not yet lived.
Speaking about “Days We Left Behind:” “This is very much a memory song for me. The album title, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, comes from a lyric in this track. I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else? It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke which is quite working class. We didn’t have much at all but it didn’t matter because all the people were great and you didn’t notice you didn’t have much.”
As well as being packed with poignant reflections from an artist whose influence is woven into the fabric of our lives, The Boys of Dungeon Lane also includes new love songs in the inimitable instantly identifiable Paul McCartney style. A world without Paul McCartney is impossible to imagine, yet here listeners can travel to a world that existed before everything changed, offering memories never previously shared and revealing, with extraordinary honesty, the human story behind a global icon. This is the story before THE story.
About the creation of the album:
The Boys of Dungeon Lane was first brought into existence five years ago when Paul met producer Andrew Watt for a cup of tea and an exchange of ideas. While playing around on the guitar during the meeting, Paul happened upon a chord that even he — the world’s most successful living songwriter — didn’t recognise. Undeterred and driven by his experimental nature, Paul carried on changing one note, then another, until he had a three-chord sequence — which Watt suggested they should record.
This session yielded the album’s opening track, “As You Lie There.” Encouraged by his new producer, Paul would flesh out the new track, playing the majority of instruments – much in the spirit of his 1970 solo debut album, McCartney. So began the journey of what became Paul’s 18th studio album credited solely to Paul McCartney.
Paul’s packed schedule meant that the album was recorded in tight and efficient sessions between legs of global tour dates spanning five years and alternating between Los Angeles and Sussex. With no record label pressure and no deadline, the pair were able to make the album to their own timeline and satisfaction.Like his career, The Boys of Dungeon Lane is musically eclectic and sees Paul across an array of instruments and styles showcasing his broad musicality. There’s Wings style rock, Beatles style harmonies, McCartney style grooves, understated intimacy, melody driven storytelling, character songs – the common thread being Paul.

PIXIES
7 New US Shows Announced
Tickets On Sale March 27th at pixiesmusic.com
Rounding out a year that marks four decades as one of the most influential forces in modern music, Pixies has announced a series of seven new US dates in September. In addition to the band’s previously announced appearance at the Borderland Music Festival in East Aurora NY, the next American leg will see Pixies on the lineup of this year’s See Hear Now Festival in Asbury Park NJ, and making headline stops in Greenville SC, Wilmington NC, Louisville KY, Columbia MO, Santa Fe NM and Tucson AZ. See below for a full itinerary.
Tickets for these shows will be on sale Friday, March 27th at 10am local time at pixiesmusic.com.
The newly confirmed shows are Pixies’ first series of North American dates since the 2025 tour that moved The Hollywood Reporter to proclaim them “The band that drew the blueprint for alternative rock,” Twin Cities Media to rave “the whole night had that rare ‘yep, this is why we go to shows’ kind of magic,” and the Phoenix New Times to observe “Nearly four decades after making their debut, the band is showing no signs of letting up.”
Pixies’ ninth and most recent album The Night The Zombies Came was released October 25th via BMG, moving the likes of AllMusic to rave “Songs like these uphold Pixies’ brash, eccentric, oddly moving legacy brilliantly, and as a whole, The Night the Zombies Came ranks among their finest post-reunion music.” 2026 is already shaping up to be another incredible year for Pixies — Charles “Black Francis” Thompson (vocals, guitar), Joey Santiago (guitar), David Lovering (drums) and Emma Richardson (bass, vocals) — who will visit China, the Philippines, Hong Kong, the UK and Europe prior to the newly announced US shows. Marking the 40th anniversary of the band’s 1986 formation and release of the Come On Pilgrim mini-LP, Pixies continues to mark milestones such as “Where Is My Mind?” from 1988’s immortal Surfer Rosa recently surpassing one billion plays on Spotify. The band’s peerless catalog — which includes 1989’s platinum-certified breakthrough Doolittle, Bossanova (1990), Trompe le Monde (1991), Indie Cindy (2014), Head Carrier (2016), Beneath the Eyrie (2019), Doggerel (2022) and more — continues to grow in stature across successive generations.

FOO FIGHTERS
“CAUGHT IN THE ECHO”
NEW SINGLE FROM YOUR FAVORITE TOY
ALBUM OUT APRIL 24th
Listen HERE, Check Out Visualizer HERE and Pre-Order the Album HERE
“Caught In The Echo,” the third song to be released in advance of Foo Fighters’ forthcoming 12th full-length studio album, Your Favorite Toy, is now available across digital platforms.
Following in the turbulent wake of the album’s postpone-tinged banger of a title track — described by THE NEW YORK TIMES as “back-to-basics garage-rock delivered in a welter of noisy guitars” and moving VICE to rave “Unhinged Dave Grohl is my favorite version of Dave Grohl” — “Caught In The Echo” is the instantly combustible opener that sets the tone for the harnessing of the FF live fury that pervades the album. From its opening exhortation of “Do I? Do I? Do I? Do I?” to its closing plea of “Who can save us now?”, “Caught In The Echo” foreshadows the new album’s rough hewn energy with arguably the band’s most explosive opener since Wasting Light’s “Bridge Burning.”
Your Favorite Toy will be released April 24th via Roswell Records/RCA Records. Recorded at home, the album was co-produced by Foo Fighters and Oliver Roman, engineered by Oliver Roman and mixed by Mark “Spike” Stent, and consists of the following songs:
Caught In The Echo
Of All People
Window
Your Favorite Toy
If You Only Knew
Spit Shine
Unconditional
Child Actor
Amen, Caveman
Asking For A Friend
Your Favorite Toy’s release heralds Foo Fighters’ massive Take Cover world tour, which just added an already SOLD OUT April 28 show at the Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, CT. For more information on the rock ’n’ roll stadium tour of the summer, go to https://foofighters.lnk.to/ShowsPR
Last but not least, running errands in the San Fernando Valley became a lot more interesting yesterday, as 20 personally burned CDs of “Caught in the Echo,” each featuring individually hand-drawn artwork by Dave and Harper Grohl, were hidden in various locations in the area, ranging from local indie record stores to national grocery, book and pharmacy chains and more. For updates and further information on the “Caught in the Echo” scavenger hunt, check https://www.instagram.com/foofighters/
Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Rami Jaffee and Ilan Rubin.
