To celebrate the worldwide release of his third album The End, GRAMMY® Award-nominated songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Wolfgang Van Halen is back with another installment music video for the Mammoth-verse. “Same Old Song” picks up where the video for “The End” wraps up and returns the universe created by Wolfgang back to normal. The music video for “The End” – directed by Robert Rodriguez – saw Wolfgang’s bandmates mauled by a collection of zombies, vampires and werewolves. “Same Old Song” starts with Wolfgang waking up from a dream and realizing things are back to normal as the band rehearses the new song. Directed by JT Ibanez, the video shows Mammoth depicting their trademark live-performance style that they have come to be known for. The music video for “Same Old Song” can be seen here.
Softcult, the JUNO-nominated Ontario-based sibling duo featuring Mercedes (she/her) and Phoenix (they/them) Arn-Horn, have shared their powerful new single “She Said, He Said”, from their recently announced debut full-length album, When A Flower Doesn’t Grow, out January 30, 2026 via Easy Life Records. Pre-save/order the album HERE.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Mercedes explains, “‘She Said, He Said’ is a song about believing survivors of assault. It’s known that SA cases are historically under-reported, and most victims don’t come forward for fear of being accused of lying. When survivors do come forward they are all too often blamed for encouraging the situation that led to the assault in the first place. Myths and bogus claims aiming to dismiss allegations of assault perpetuate misinformation that leads to mistrust and suspicion of survivors when they decide to share their stories. This culture of misogynistic skepticism contributes to the silencing of survivors, enabling predators to continue with their mistreatment while escaping accountability. This song tells a story that is all too familiar; the “nice guy” that coerces and pressures his victim instead of asking for consent.”
On the track’s accompanying official music video, Mercedes continues, “We wanted to create a visual that tackles this very poignant and nuanced subject matter in a respectful way, while still resonating and getting the intended message across. We decided to focus on the frustration many women feel when we tell traumatic stories and are met with suspicion and accusations. We chose an interrogation room setting to capture the feeling of “making a case” for our truth to be heard and believed. We included some Easter eggs referencing other videos from this album cycle, which represent a common theme of patriarchal oppression and abuse. The clues displayed as evidence on the interrogation room table lead directly to the anonymous male characters in other videos (Naive, 16/25). However, the detective fails to make the connection, blinded by patriarchal bias, and instead casts suspicion and classically blames the victim.”
“She Said, He Said” joins previously released singles: “16/25”, a track confronting the predatory behaviour of older men who groom younger women; “Naive”, a hauntingly honest exploration of disillusionment and emotional awakening; and “Pill To Swallow”, a searing, shoegaze anthem that confronts our world’s most uncomfortable truths with an almost-eerie clarity.
With the overwhelming response to their first single in over two years “Silent Divide,” acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE are back with another song from their upcoming 8th studio album, Alter Bridge. “What Lies Within” is now available via all digital service providers from the quartet comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums. The song opens with a driving guitar riff from Kennedy and Tremonti as before the rhythmic groove of Marshall and Phillips pushes the song. The lyrics are a cautionary tale of the darkness inside mankind as Kennedy sings “What lies within, beneath the skin, something so dark and foreboding.” An animated video for “What Lies Within” was directed by J.T. Ibanez
With more than two decades performing together, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE show no signs of slowing down. Known for their memorable riffs, infectious vocal melodies and dueling guitar attack, the quartet have garnered themselves massive critical and fan acclaim around the globe. The band looks to continue that trend when they release their self-titled, eighth studio album next year via Napalm Records. Alter Bridge will be released on January 9, 2026, and first physical formats are now available for pre-order.
On the heels of the excitement from the recent announcements of their upcoming eighth studio album and their Blackbird festival in Wales next summer, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE are releasing the first piece of music in over two years, “Silent Divide.” The track from the quartet, comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums, shows the band is back and ready to pick up where they left off in 2023. The brooding track begins with the signature guitar tones of Kennedy and Tremonti before the rhythm section of Marshall and Phillips join in. The chorus is powered by Kennedy’s haunting descent as he sings: “Keep your head down, ride out the silent divide.”
A music video for “Silent Divide” is also available today that the band has been teasing for days. A comedic opening skit was released of Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips calling Kennedy’s mom to get the band back together as Myles hangs in his mom’s basement. That scene gives way to a performance of the four guys playing together in
