Lainey Wilson reveals she experienced a days-long panic attack in 2019 after reaching her "breaking point" during her climb to country music stardom. The 33-year-old singer sought help from three therapists, including one for business matters, to restore her mental equilibrium. Wilson's struggles stemmed from an exhausting four-month radio tour promoting her music across America. "I was burned-out from having to constantly be on," she explained. "I wanted to curl up in a little ball and shut the world out completely." The Louisiana native spent eight years working toward her recording contract after moving to Nashville at 19, living in a camper while pursuing her dreams. Wilson now advocates for mental health awareness, urging people to "speak up when you're not feeling great." She shares her story in the upcoming Netflix documentary Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool. 

Charli XCX revealed she's creating a rock album for her eighth studio project. "I think the dance floor is dead, so now we're making rock music," she told Vogue, moving away from her dance-forward 2024 hit "Brat." The still unfinished album features heavily processed guitars, queasy feedback, and "scuffed" melodies with rough demo-like vocals replacing her signature auto-tuned style. Thematically, she explores her relationship with art, calling it the "joint main love of my life" alongside husband George Daniel of The 1975. Songs address marriage, fame's temporary nature, and reinvention's artificiality. Charli wrote and produced with collaborators A.G. Cook and Finn Keane, recording portions secretly in Paris during Fashion Week. The album remains incomplete due to her busy schedule, including festival headlining slots at Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Reading & Leeds

Since the early 1980's, lead by vocalist Sammy DeJohn, RUTHLESS has stayed true to its style of metal, from the classic first EP "Metal Without Mercy" (1984) and the debut cult album "Discipline Of Steel" (1986), to the later albums "They Rise" (2015)" and "Evil Within" (2019), they've never wavered on the power of bands like JUDAS PRIEST, ACCEPT and BLACK SABBATH, always staying true to their roots. Their previous album "The Fallen" was released in January 2024 on their new label Fireflash Records (WOLF, HOLY MOSES, MEZZROW a.o.), followed by a European tour as support act for their fellow believers JAG PANZER, cementing their reputation as a magnificent live band.
Today, RUTHLESS are proud to release the first single, along with a lyric video for the title track of their upcoming  new album "Curse Of The Beast", which will be released on July 17th.
Sammy DeJohn adds: "The song is about a guy getting hit by a werewolf, (bitten by the beast, now victim of the curse you've become) he's a man by day then turns into the beast or werewolf by nite, (forever in pain, waiting for you souls release), so it would be like guy turning into a werewolf at nite, attacking people and waking in the morning, being a man again regretting what he's done.

Boston alternative metal powerhouse Prospect Hill return with their latest single "Blood In The Water," a gripping anthem about resilience, survival, and refusing to fade quietly when the pressure is at its highest.
 
Fueled by crushing guitars, driving rhythms, and a raw, emotionally charged vocal performance, "Blood In The Water" captures the moment when everything feels like it's collapsing around you and the decision to fight anyway. With lyrics confronting mortality, purpose, and pride head-on, the song dives into the mindset of someone staring down the weight of the world and choosing to push forward rather than break. The track blends melodic hard rock with a darker alternative metal intensity, delivering a powerful statement about legacy, perseverance, and the search for meaning when the odds are stacked against you.

"For us, 'Blood In The Water' is about that moment where everything feels like it's closing in," the band explains. "When the pressure builds, when doubt creeps in, when it feels like everyone's waiting for you to fail. It's about choosing to fight harder instead and creating something that lasts beyond you.

Outlier has released their new single "Nightmare," a gripping track that dives headfirst into the emotional wreckage of toxic attachment, self-doubt, and the painful comfort of familiarity. With haunting atmosphere and hard-hitting intensity, "Nightmare" captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle you know is destroying you-but still can't walk away from.
 
Joey Arena shares, "'Nightmare' lives in that quiet war between what you know you deserve and what you keep crawling back to - where love feels like a wound you refuse to let heal. It's the echo of self-doubt that makes pain feel familiar, the kind that turns chaos into comfort and affection into addiction. You don't stay because it's good - you stay because somewhere deep down, you've learned to believe this is all you're worth... "
 
In support of the new release, Outlier will be hitting the road with Silent Theory, joining them on tour from April 21st through May 14th

Fresh off his Opry debut, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Stephen Sanchez proves it's going to be a yearning summer on his new single "CHUCK THE MONEY," out today via Mercury Records. Bolstered by a flourish of trumpets, Stephen urges listeners to shift their priorities from material things to true, powerful connection. The song is featured on Stephen's forthcoming sophomore album, Love, Love, Love, out May 8. With "CHUCK THE MONEY," Stephen blends old-school influences and modern pop sensibilities, further expanding his sonic universe that feels rooted in the past while always looking toward the future. On writing the song, Stephen shares, "This was the second song we wrote for the record. It's about throwing out the material things and placing value back on connection and intimacy that's real and has a heartbeat. But also taking it to a place that's fun and innocent as well." Just last week, Stephen made his Opry debut, where he lit up the stage with a pair of songs off Love, Love, Love. Recently, Stephen also gave fans a taste of the new album with performances on Good Morning America and Medium Sized Backyard. Ahead of the album's release, Stephen has also shared tracks "LOVE, LOVE, LOVE" and "SWEET LOVE," with the latter being accompanied by a video co-starring his grandparents. The new album follows 2023's Angel Face, which earned critical praise from NPR, SPIN, V Magazine, FLOOD, American Songwriter, and more

"'Don't Ask Me' lives in that quiet, unsettled space after everything falls apart, the part no one really talks about. It's not polished, it's just honest. We leaned into the details, the restless nights, the questions you don't have answers for yet, and let the imagery sit right there in the middle of it." Told through the eyes of someone still wrestling with the aftermath of a breakup, "Don't Ask Me" stands out for its raw, specific imagery.  The track's driving rhythms and vivid storytelling capture the confusion and restlessness that follow heartbreak. Written by Mason with an all-star group of songwriters, including Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey, and Jack Rauton, the lyrics delve deep into those emotions. Lyrics such as "Don't ask me how I'm doing, don't ask me how I've been, don't ask about those empty cans rolling around in my truck bed" paint a portrait of a man sorting through regrets, searching for answers he may never find. He's landed Top 40 airplay in Canada, climbed to #14 on the UK Country Airplay chart, and surged to #2 on Australia's CountryTown Top 50, signaling an already massive global audience. After a standout set at CMC Rocks in Australia and international dates supporting Jordan Davis, he's now stepping back into his own spotlight with a run of headlining spring shows, while also joining Morgan Wallen on select U.S. stadium shows. Vincent Mason Full Tour Dates4/18/2026 - Tuscaloosa, AL - Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium +4/23/2026 - Richmond, VA -  The National4/24/2026 - Silver Spring, MD - The Fillmore4/25/2026 - Philadelphia, PA - Theatre of Living Arts5/1/2026 - Las Vegas, NV - Allegiant Stadium +5/2/2026 - Las Vegas, NV - Allegiant Stadium +5/7/2026 - Toronto, ON - The Danforth Music Hall5/8/2026 - Royal Oak, MI - Royal Oak Music Theatre5/14/2026 - New York, NY - Irving Plaza5/15/2026 - Boston, MA - Citizens House of Blues Boston5/16/2026 - Las Vegas, NV - ACM Next Wave: Country's Beach Bash5/29/2026 - Denver, CO - Empower Field at Mile High +5/30/2026 - Denver, CO - Empower Field at Mile High +6/4/2026 - Nashville, TN - CMA Fest - Chevy Riverfront Stage6/6/2026 - Little Elm, TX - The Craft Brew & Que Festival6/18/2026 - San Diego, CA - Viejas Arena ^6/19/2026 - Los Angeles, CA - Greek Theatre ^6/20/2026 - Sacramento, CA - Golden 1 Center ^6/25/2026 - Nampa, ID - Ford Idaho Center Amphitheater ^6/26/2026 - Bend, OR - Hayden Homes Amphitheater ^6/27/2026 - Kent, WA - accesso ShoWare Center ^7/9/2026 - West Salem, WI - Country Boom7/10/2026 - Chicago, IL - Windy City Smokeout7/11/2026 - Fort Loramie, OH - Country Concert7/16/2026 - Brandon, MS - Brandon Amphitheater ^7/17/2026 - Orange Beach, AL - The Wharf Amphitheater ^7/18/2026 - Alpharetta, GA - Ameris Bank Amphitheatre ^7/24/2026 - Chillicothe, IL - River & Rails Fest8/14/2026 - Lewisburg, WV - State Fair of West Virginia9/3/2026 - Bangor, ME - Maine Savings Amphitheater ^9/4/2026 - Gilford, NH - Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion ^9/5/2026 - Saratoga Springs, NY - Saratoga Performing Arts Center ^9/10/2026 - Louisville, KY - KFC Yum!

Today, the Lancaster, PA-based quintet shares the video for "Forever." The song weaves contemplative verses with epic and explosive choruses and breakdowns, and it ultimately demonstrates the band's deftness with dynamics.
"'Forever' came together at the very end of the record, almost like it was waiting for everything else to fall into place before it could exist," Brandyberry shares. "There's a sense of finality to it, like standing in the aftermath of something you can't fix, realizing too late where it all went wrong. It paints a picture of how it feels when regret won't let go."
He continues, "We pushed ourselves further than we ever have on this one. We made choices that felt uncomfortable, but that's what helped shape it into something different for us. The goal wasn't to play it safe; it was to evolve and create something that sticks with you. 'Forever' doesn't resolve cleanly...It lingers, and that's exactly what we wanted."
As for the album as a whole, the band explains, "It's not a concept album by design, but there's a common theme running through it - that feeling of being stuck in a kind of purgatory, where you can almost see something better ahead of you, but there's always something dragging you back down."
It is also a moment for From Ashes to New, but not simply a moment in time. The band finishes, "This record is a reflection of who we were while making it, but even more than that, it's a statement of who we're becoming. Every song helped shape a sound that feels honest to where we're headed, not where we've been. We didn't hold anything back, and you can hear that in every moment."
The 12-track REFLECTIONS is the follow-up to 2023's BLACKOUT, which achieved the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. It was a massive success. Yet, in late 2023, FROM ASHES TO NEW arrived at a creative crossroads. The group wrapped up demos for 16 songs for what was supposed to be their fifth studio album. However, instead of sprinting towards the finish line and completing the record, the band scrapped those demo sessions. The process went against everything the band had ever done before. But largely starting anew -they kept two songs-was liberating. The band collectively knew it had to make something that remained true to their traditional sound yet broadened the tent to capture the ears and focus of a fresh audience. "I wanted to take what we are good at and push it even further," Brandyberry says. "That was the process for this whole record."
As a result, fans can hear a reinvigorated FROM ASHES TO NEW on REFLECTIONS

Oklahoma Rockers Hillbilly Vegas have dropped their new single & video for "Mr. Midnight", which was written by and features Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Paul Rodgers (Bad Company).  The track is the 2nd single from their new album "A La Mode", which is slated for release on May 8th via Quarto Valley Records.  It's the follow-up to the hit "I Hope You Know", which is at #20 on the Rock Radio charts and still climbing.
 
"Mr. Midnight" is a heavy, electric blues-rock song that has a retro feel of ZZ Top 'Tush' mixed with the modern blues sound of Christone "Kingfish" Ingram.   The edgy and slinky guitar riffs evoke images of Beale Street late at night, whiskey in hand, while on the prowl for good trouble - buoyed by the unmistakable Paul Rodgers ethos of classic 70's rock and roll.
 
Paul Rodgers says "I wrote "Mr. Midnight" a few years ago when I was writing songs - that to my surprise  - became an album 'Midnight Rose'. I had no idea that the songs would become an album.  But when Sun Records said that they would be interested in releasing a Paul Rodgers album you would have to be mad not to accept.  I actually forgot that I had the song and that is why it was not included on the 'Midnight Rose' album. Bassist Todd Ronning from my solo band - who later joined Bad Company - played on the demo track for the song and was familiar with it".
 
He continues "The song started with the guitar riff. I had it floating around in my mind, and I built the song around that. When I was looking for lyrics I was inspired by a feline.  Cynthia, my wife, has a number of rescued cats, and there was one black cat in particular named Jasper. His coat was so sleek and black that I nicknamed him Mr. Midnight. You can let your imagination take it from there.  When I heard Hillbilly Vegas' recording of 'Mr. Midnight' - Steve (Harris) did such a great job, I felt they had it well covered.  I did not want to disturb the flow created in their recording, but I had made a promise to the boys in the band - so I sang some lines, and it turned out very well."
Hillbilly Vegas' Steve Harris adds "Being part of something like this with Paul, who's had such an impact on how we all hear rock and roll, was an incredible experience that we still can't quite believe happened. His voice, his phrasing and the way he approaches a song...that's the blueprint.  It raises the bar, but it also reminds you why you started doing this in the first place, because you realize you're not just making a record, you're stepping into a lineage that guys like Paul built."

Mr. Midnight - Single Artwork
The video for "Mr. Midnight" was filmed in Oklahoma and produced by the band.  Harris explains: We shot the video in our warehouse and it was directed by Jon Wright. He kept it organic and simple...nothing forced, just capturing the band the way we really are. And having Paul appear in the video... that's just as cool as it gets!  It's one thing to share a track with him, but to have him visually be part of it too-that takes it to another level."
 
The band's 2nd full length album, "A La Mode", will be released on May 8th.  It features 11 tracks and will be available in digital, CD, and Vinyl LP formats.   Pre-orders start Monday, April 20th.

Breakthrough country artist Payton Smith captures the vulnerable thrill of unspoken feelings on his new single, "See How It Sounds," out now. Centered around the quiet tension of two people circling around three life-changing words, the track bottles the nerves, anticipation, and honesty of love waiting to be said. Written by Payton Smith alongside Austin Goodloe and Ava Suppelsa, the song pairs intimate lyricism with Smith's signature guitar work, allowing the emotion to build naturally into a memorable instrumental outro. "'See How It Sounds' is about that moment when the words are right there, but nobody's said them yet," says Payton. "It's two people dancing around 'I love you,' waiting to see who's gonna go first. It's simple, a little nervous, and honest in the best way. The guitar says what the words can't in the outro. Sometimes you just have to let 'I love you' fly... just to see how it sounds." Louisiana native and self-taught guitarist Payton Smith first broke out in 2019, quickly amassing more than 50 million streams on his debut single, "Like I Knew You Would." The former CMT Listen Up artist has earned major playlist support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and TIDAL, while MusicRow named him a Next Big Thing. Following his 2022 signing with Combustion Masters, Smith released "Missed The Boat" and his debut album, What Colors Your Wild, continuing to build momentum with standout playlist placements and a growing fanbase. No stranger to major stages, Smith has supported runs with Brantley Gilbert, ZZ Top, Lee Brice, Dylan Scott, Lily Rose, and Priscilla Block, while also sharing stages with Jordan Davis, Chris Young, and Mitchell Tenpenny. With "See How It Sounds," Smith once again turns a quiet, deeply relatable moment into something lasting, blending honesty and guitar-driven warmth into a track that lingers long after the final note
