14-time Grammy-winner, Academy Award-winner, and two-time Golden Globe-winner Lady Gaga returns with MAYHEM. Includes previously released singles “Die With A Smile,” and “Disease,” plus the new track, “Abracadabra.”
With their debut album, Afterglow, Sleep Theory is carving out space at the forefront of modern hard rock, stacking stadium-sized hooks with genuine emotional weight. If their meteoric rise is any indication, this is only the beginning. The album, which offers a stunning display of diverse rock flavors, was produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects).
Revolver put it best: “The band’s mix of metalcore, pop, and R&B is clearly connecting in a big way—and has positioned Sleep Theory as one of heavy music’s biggest breakouts.”
Sleep Theory isn’t just another rock band climbing the ranks—they’re an unstoppable force rewriting the genre’s rules in real time. Frontman Cullen Moore doesn’t just sing; he commands, delivering lung-busting hooks that sit comfortably between modern rock’s heaviest hitters and the emotional pull of early-2000s alt-metal. Sleep Theory’s sound blends anthemic rock, metalcore energy, and smooth R&B-inspired melodies, drawing comparisons to Linkin Park’s more dynamic moments. Moore’s vocal range allows for a mix of soaring melodies and intense screams, adding depth and versatility to their music.
In under two years, the Memphis-based quartet—Moore, bassist Paolo Vergara, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, and drummer Benjamin Pruitt—had rocketed from internet obscurity to festival mainstages and the momentum hasn’t slowed. With over 220 million streams on their first eight songs, Sleep Theory is proving that viral moments can have serious staying power.
The industry is watching. Sleep Theory closed out 2024 as the fifth most-played artist on Active Rock radio, with multiple singles cracking year-end rock and metal charts. Heavyweights like Jelly Roll and Disturbed’s David Draiman are openly singing their praises, while Shinedown, Beartooth, Wage War, Daughtry, and Falling in Reverse have already taken them on tour across the U.S. and Europe.

Forever Howlong is Black Country, New Road’s first studio release since 2022's UK #3 album Ants From Up There, which gave the band their second Top 5 UK album in 12 months alongside their Mercury Prize shortlisted debut For the first time, and follows 2023's Live at Bush Hall, an album The Guardian claimed was a “magical resurgence” in a triumphant five-star review. Now, on studio album three, the band are once again building from the ground up in yet another miraculous musical transformation.
The long-awaited new record was produced by James Ford (Fontaines D.C., Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Blur) and sees Black Country, New Road settled into a new shape in which vocal duties – and most of the song writing – is split between Tyler Hyde, Georgia Ellery, and May Kershaw. “It created a real through line for the album, having three girls singing," says Ellery. "It's definitely very different to Ants From Up There, because of the female perspective - and the music we've made also compliments that."
Forever Howlong is an ambitious, meticulously detailed record that includes everything from folk to prog via baroque pop and touches of alt-rock – with nods to everything from Joanna Newsom to Randy Newman via Fiona Apple and Janis Ian – yet all the while retaining that unmistakably unique sound that only this combination of musicians can come up with. Although hugely varied and expansive, the album also feels deeply cohesive and focused, as it takes three distinct voices and styles and seamlessly intersperses them into a new collective sound.

After a decade releasing music as Years & Years, Polari is literally Olly Alexander talking the talk. He bonded with Danny L Harle over a mutual love of 80s club music, that period of uncompromising, avant-garde pop which nonetheless snuck into the mainstream. Polari remained a north star throughout the creative process, a secret language likewise lacking widespread recognition but still influential in plain sight. And after a long history of secrets and subtext, Polari is ultimately an open and universal pop record about those needs that transcend time, sexuality, and self: what it means to belong, to be loved, and (Polari literally translates as “to talk”) to connect.

What's New 2-7-25
Inside Out MusicDream Theater’s first release with the classic lineup since 2009 rarely takes the simple route. Head-spinning solos and rhythmically complex musical passages were essential to defining the prog metal master’s reputation and they're no less exciting here. The 16-year break from each other rarely reveals any cobwebs, shaking off any doubts about their return.
Thirty Tigers / Totally Normal RecordsMichigan-born and Nashville-based Jason Singer leaves one chapter in the rear-view and turns the page on another with uplifting instrumentation, and plainspoken heartland storytelling punctuated by alternative flare. It’s a deft balance of rock energy, alternative adventurousness, and heart-on-his-sleeve songcraft.
FantasyThe punk/alternative supergroup’s (members of Thursday, My Chemical Romance, Coheed and Combria, and Circa Survive) debut, Past Lives, navigated through dark, thunderous clouds—each song a lightning bolt illuminating the raw, untamed experimentation of the band. Violet, on the other hand, is the radiant dawn that breaks after the tempest, bringing with it a new hope with its profound lyrics and melancholically hopeful melodies.
New West RecordsForever is a raw, unvarnished work of love and trust that walks the line between alt-rock muscle and singer-songwriter sensitivity. It is a bold, guitar-driven, exploration of maturity and adulthood that grapples with growth and change, escape and anxiety, self-loathing and self-love, and the songs are intensely vulnerable, full of diaristic snapshots.
EarmusicJoe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson inaugurated the G3 Tour concept 28 years ago which put them on stage together for the first time ever. In 2024, G3 reunited for a sold-out run of US dates. “Reunion Live” much more than just a live album, containing a new album from each artist plus a new LP from the certified supergroup.
Thirty Tigers / I Love YouBeautifully varied and richly rendered, Lefty is an album that wanders from theme to theme, style to style, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything, it is at play. Lefty feels like not just a celebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre, but as if they have rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boys growing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.
AtlanticOn her first studio album in five years, the ever-experimental artist searches for transcendence in her own inimitable language. As promised, twigs’ long-awaited third album is inspired by techno – it’s also her warmest and brightest material to date. The hazy underground equivalent of BRAT summer with a massive injection of purified sex.
EarmusicBacked by a seven-piece band, Iggy breathes new fire into Stooges classics like “I Wanna Be Your Dog” and “T.V. Eye” and ignites the adoring crowd with visceral run-throughs of “The Passenger” and, of course, “Lust for Life.” Live At Montreux… captures the avant-garde icon and punk pioneer in a performance that could only happen here. A singular moment in a singular career.
Warner RecordsRecorded in 2014 but never released, Mac Miller’s second posthumous album is the missing link between the earnest rapper he was and the evocative songwriter he would become. Feeling distinct from his broader catalogue, Balloonerism equally tethers itself to other points in Mac’s work. It’s a rather wonderful, albeit unsettling, reminder of a talent lost.
City SlangIf peppering political songs with humor is like sticking a sparkler in some bread, then Who Let The Dogs Out is like a fireworks display in the factory itself: strange, dangerous, exciting. Sirens blare over a heavy distorted bass and a live drum breakbeat. The band dance between upbeat pop punk, dirty grunge tones and discordant post-punk. A take-no-prisoners debut from one of the UK’s most fun and fearless bands.
Napalm RecordsMark Tremonti levels up all around on his 19th overall album, joined by bandmates Eric Friedman [guitar], Ryan Bennett [drums], and Tanner Keegan [bass]. The End Will Show Us How charges with inspirational lyricism, metallic barrages, and Tremonti’s most incisive displays of fret fireworks - a testament to his legacy of ceaseless creativity and a certified triumph!
Domino Record Co.The band’s sixth full-length album showcases Franz at their most immediate, upbeat and life-affirming, unashamedly going for the pop-jugular in classic Franz style. Recorded at AYR studios in Scotland, the 11 songs on The Human Fear all allude to some deep-set human fears and how overcoming and accepting these fears drives and defines our lives.
