Its appears that the drama with the members of Poison has passed and now the band is on track to stage a reunion tour next year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album "Look What The Cat Dragged In".
Drummer Rikki Rockett revealed in an interview on SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" last week that he and frontman Bret Michaels have been in contact. He told Trunk, "Bret's right. "We didn't sit down at a negotiating table, really. It never did get that far. It got kiboshed at the very beginning. But I just wanted to put a sensible reason to it so that everybody understands that it wasn't Bobby, C.C. or me, any of those rumors you heard, that's not why we weren't touring. And so, I have to answer it with something." (continue)

Goodbye, and we don't want to pay you anymore.' (continue)

Crushing instrumentation collides with visceral lyricism, capturing the turmoil of confronting conformity, internalized stigma, and the cost of self-realization. (continue)
Philadelphia's Varials re-entered the chat in a massively metallic way in 2025 by announcing their new album WHERE THE LIGHT LEAVES. The album will arrive on February 27 via Fearless Records. Today, they share the video for new single "The Hurt Chamber."
The song moves at a measured and deliberate pace, and it's one of the most melodic songs in the band's catalog. With this track, Varials, known for erecting impenetrable walls of sound and for trafficking in pure metallic fury, prove that heavier-than-granite music doesn't always have to mean fast. Heavy can also be slow and steady - and memorable. The beautifully eerie, keys-driven fade out could serve as the background music in the creepiest scene in your favorite psychological thriller.

With it's shuffle-groove and infectiously catchy hook and chorus Put the Bucket Down conjures dream-like imagery of mind reading, thought reading and thought writing - all of which are possible through the brain / computer interface. The character singing is getting very confused ... (continue)
Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck return with their latest single, "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is," out now on all major streaming platforms. The track arrives as the band prepares to hit the road for their Spring 2026 U.S. tour, offering a hard-hitting statement that underscores the urgency, resolve, and fire that have defined their recent run.
Written with a directness that leaves no room for half-measures, "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" calls out talk without follow-through and the gap between what people say and what they actually do. It's a straight-ahead, no-frills rocker that cuts through the noise, pushing the idea that intention only matters once it's backed by action. From the opening blast, the song wastes no time setting its tone - loud, direct, and unapologetic. (continue)
Frank Zappa and Don Van Vliet, later christened Captain Beefheart by Zappa, met as teenagers in the late 1950s in Lancaster, Calif., bonding over a shared love of blues, R&B, doo-wop, and outsider art, and dreaming up a radical new kind of music that defied convention. Their early friendship was intense and formative, marked by deep mutual admiration as well as clashing personalities that would periodically strain their relationship. As their careers developed, Zappa became both a collaborator and catalyst for Beefheart's most significant work, contributing production, composition, and guidance to Trout Mask Replica (1969), the landmark album that crystallized Beefheart's surreal, avant-blues vision and remains one of the most challenging and influential records in rock history. That same year, Beefheart appeared on Zappa's quintessential album, Hot Rats, lending his unmistakable growl to "Willie the Pimp," a track that bridged Zappa's jazz-rock ambitions with Beefheart's raw vocal presence. Despite cycles of estrangement and reconciliation, their creative dialogue endured, shaped by shared roots and creative rivalry. This long, complex personal and musical relationship ultimately found renewed expression in Bongo Fury (1975), a collaborative album, mostly recorded live on tour, that captured the volatile, joyous chemistry of two lifelong friends whose artistic paths, however divergent, were always magnetically linked.
