Hollywood Undead return today with brand new single "All My Friends" featuring Jeris Johnson, a venomous new single that slams the band's signature rap-rock attack into a world of monsters, spectacle, pressure, and consequence. Out now via Sumerian Records, the track is another major anthem built for the Undead Army and serves to further cement the band's new, unstoppable era since signing with the globally renowned independent label.
"All My Friends" sees Hollywood Undead delivering the razor-sharp, combustible energy that has defined their most enduring anthems. The track pairs arena-conquering vocal hooks with rapid-fire vocal exchanges, lacing its huge chorus with images of monsters, holy water, choppers, bright lights, burning days, and the uneasy cost of chasing glory. There is a sinister, theatrical charge to the song, with Jeris Johnson adding his own edge and pushing Hollywood Undead's collision of rap, rock, and heavy music into a darker lane. (continue)
The flower moon of May 1, 2026 is the first of two full moons in the month, and with it comes the release of the fifth song from Peter Gabriel's forthcoming album o\i. Won't Stand Down is out now, and the Bright-Side Mix is the first version to be heard; "It's really a song to encourage some sort of activism," says Gabriel.
"I had originally thought about trying to create some music for The Elders.org, who are an extraordinary group of people. Their currency is not based on military power, economic power or political power, but just the moral authority they have from having lived extraordinary, selfless lives. That's something which I wanted to talk about, write about and encourage, because it's pretty dark out there in lots of places and I think we need people who can just nudge both us and our leaders and keep alive some basic values of justice, compassion and democracy - a hope that can help us start envisioning a just, peaceful and fairer world.

Jon Olazabal said of the new song, "This is one of my personal favorites on the album. Another one that was mostly done out in Nashville. We are definitely living in wild times right now. There is a lot of uncertainty in the world, it's so important we stick together and help each other navigate this crazy ass world, and to remind each other that all things pass. Moving forward with love and compassion for one another is a must. This song is a great reminder of that." (continue)
Salim Nourallah just released his new album "Close as a Star" and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the song, "About Us." Here is the story: I started "About Us" more than 20 years ago. It sat untouched, and I didn't think much about it. It was just another of countless ideas that I'd abandoned. I had tons of them: lyrics scrawled on scraps of paper, 30-second snippets of mumbled melodies on old cassettes, a cappella verses, and proposed drumbeats played with chopsticks.
In February 2023, I came across a rough sketch of the song on a CD of demos that had been transferred from a cassette. I had been waiting to preview that particular CD for at least a decade. I'd finally gotten to it because I was in the middle of a project I'd called Rescued from Oblivion. I was on a mission to go back to songs I had left unfinished, troll for the best ideas, and finally complete them. (continue)
