“ECHOES IN ETERNITY” TOUR 2026

Agnostic Front, Beton Arme, Restraining Order, Street Hassle
Thursday, October 15th 2026
The Song & Dance, Syracuse, NY

Our Score 3 out of 5 Stars

New York hardcore legends Agnostic Front returned to Syracuse, NY’s Song and Dance music venue on October 15th in support of the bands latest album release “Echoes In Eternity”. The evenings line up also featured performances from Beton Arme, Restraining Order and Street Hassle.

The upstate city of Syracuse, NY is certainly no stranger to hardcore music. The  city has served as a breeding ground for the genre since the 90’s having spawned such legendary hardcore acts as The Promise, Earth Crisis and countless others. Playing host this night would be The Song and Dance a mid-sized sub-level venue which continues the legacy of music in the 315 area code with special attention payed to the college towns hardcore and metal roots.

After brief sets by support acts Beton Arme (Montreal, QC)  Retraining Order (MA, USA) and locals Street Hassle the stage was set and the energy was primed for “The Godfathers of Hardcore” to hit the stage. From the opening notes of the thunderous “AF Stomp” to the closing buzz of “Blitzkreig Bop” the collective unit known as Agnostic Front got straight to the point and wasted very little time between songs. Vocalist Roger Miret shared the microphone multiple times through out the set allowing those pushed against the waist high stage to be apart of the evenings festivities most notably during the songs “Crucified” and “Gotta Go”. Guitarist Vinny Stigma moved about the stage like that of a performer 40 years his younger commanding attention and at one point left the stage while still playing to be instantly engulfed by a frenzied circling crowd.

Not to go without mention were the remainder of the band made up of bassist Mike Gallo, guitarist Craig Silverman and drummer Danny Lamagna who appeared locked in functioning like a Swiss time piece through each of the sets 17 songs with personal highlights including “The Eliminator”, “Victim in Pain” and “United Blood”.

With a set time clocking in at just under an hour and consisting of around 17 to 18 songs the band covered a decent amount of their catalog however I think there could have been time for maybe just a couple more songs. The the set was absent of any encores the band left the stage bathed in applause and cheer leaving the week night crowd smiling and fulfilled as they made their way up the venues granite steps. With just a few dates remaining on the Fall run you won’t want to miss these legends when they come to your city.

DESCENDENTS PRESENT:
MILO GOES TO COMICS
THE OFFICIAL Z2 GRAPHIC ALBUM COMES WITH TWO NEW EXCLUSIVE SONGS ON 7” VINYL

Bill Stevenson, Milo Aukerman, Annie Zaleski and
Ryan Dunlavey chronicles the genre-defining band’s winding journey from 1970s childhood friends to pop-punk icons.

Z2, the leading publisher of music-driven graphic novels and illustrated books, is bringing the sprawling, nearly five-decade story of genre-defining punk legends Descendents with the announcement of MILO GOES TO COMICS. From a friendship forged in the 1970s to a career that helped reshape the sound, spirit and possibilities of punk, the story of MILO GOES TO COMICS is as unconventional as the band itself.

Written by Bill Stevenson, Milo Aukerman and Annie Zaleski and illustrated by Ryan Dunlavey, the graphic novel traces the band’s winding journey across nearly five decades of music, friendship, evolution and perseverance. More than a chronicle of records and shows, the project offers a visual portrait of the people and moments behind a band whose influence continues to reverberate across generations, culminating with the band’s two brand new, exclusive songs “I Stuck Around” and “Old Power.” The cover art is by Descendants legend Chris Shary, who has been their main album cover artist for decades.

Milo Aukerman, Singer, Descendents adds “This comic is WAY more entertaining than reading the Wienerschnitzel coupon page… and better for you too! Seriously though, Annie and Ryan have accurately captured the roller coaster ride of our band history, with many anecdotes never before revealed. I can’t wait for our fans to experience the humor, mishaps, and pathos of the Descendents story, which continues to this day!”

“Bringing Descendents to graphic novels is a huge moment for Z2. They are one of the most iconic names in punk rock, with an incredible legacy, we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to expand that world through storytelling and music”shares Thomas Dreux, V.P., Operations of Z2, he continues and adds “We’re especially excited for the deluxe edition, which includes two previously unreleased songs on vinyl. Being able to give fans something they simply can’t experience anywhere else makes this book incredibly special, and we’re proud to be a part of it”.

For more than four decades, Descendents have been one of punk rock’s most influential and enduring bands, reshaping the genre with their uniquely melodic blend of speed, wit, vulnerability, and unapologetic honesty. Formed in Manhattan Beach, California in 1978, the band—founding guitarist Frank Navetta, bassist Tony Lombardo, drummer Bill Stevenson, and vocalist Milo Aukerman—helped lay the groundwork for the melodic punk and pop-punk movements that would follow.

Across a landmark catalog that includes Milo Goes to College, I Don’t Want to Grow Up, Everything Sucks, Cool to Be You, Hypercaffium Spazzinate, and 9th & Walnut,Descendents have built a fiercely devoted following while influencing generations of artists across punk, alternative, and beyond. Their songs have always married the visceral energy of punk with deeply human themes: relationships, anxiety, aging, alienation, family, food, and the everyday frustrations of being a person trying to make sense of the world.

Still driven by the same restless creative spirit that defined them from the beginning, Descendents remain a singular force in punk—proof that music can be fast, funny, deeply personal, and profoundly influential all at once.

Arriving in 2027, DESCENDENTS: MILO GOES TO COMICS will be available in various formats, including the standard edition, graphic novel + 7” vinyl, as well as the graphic novel + 7” vinyl bundle (signed platinum edition). Product will begin shipping on March 22 2027. The book is available for pre-order from Z2 at: z2comics.com/descendents.

Marking the announcement of this historic record, the new single “Splatter-Fu,” written specifically for GWAR by John Brennan, and its official video are available now.

Speaking on the upcoming album, Blothar exclaims:

“Lordy Lordy, look who’s 40! GWAR and Joe Bob Briggs. A match made in hell! I love horror movies, trash, and funny spooky stuff. GWAR wouldn’t exist without it. I was just a calf when creepy Joe Bob reached up my poodle skirt at the last Drive-in. He promised he’d make me a star… Now we’ve made a record together!”

Joe Bob continues:

“To create the real spirit of Halloween, I called up my buddies – the intergalactic warriors who live in Antarctica – and I asked them to bring some fear, some filth, and some fun. Of course you know whom I’m talkin’ about… the Scumdogs of the Universe… GWAR!”

“I built this as a lit-hop record in the truest sense: a nineteenth-century author reinterpreted through modern music, made for English teachers and mosh pits alike.”- MC Lars

MC Lars brings the macabre stories, dark humor and psychological suspense of Edgar Allan Poe into the world of hip-hop with the One Year Anniversary Edition of The Edgar Allan Poe LP, out now via Oglio Entertainment, digitally and on two-disc CD.

Executive produced by Adam F. Goldberg, creator of The Goldbergs, the expanded collection features 19 tracks, pairing the original twelve-song album with seven bonus recordings: three new 2026 versions and four tracks from Lars’s 2012 Edgar Allan Poe EP. Arriving just in time for Halloween, the release draws together years of Lars’s exploration of Poe through lit-hop, his fusion of classic literature and contemporary hip-hop.

Across the collection, Lars revisits the author’s tales of obsession, revenge, mortality and madness through songs inspired by works including The Cask of Amontillado, The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Black Cat. The album connects Poe’s enduring themes with Lars’s interests as a rapper, storyteller and educator, offering listeners another way into the author’s work.

Guests include Jaret Reddick of Bowling for Soup, the Dead Milkmen, Watt White, Mega Ran, Rodney Anonymous, Schäffer the Darklord, Lacey Johnson, Ash Tell Em, Christina Rotondo and Worm Quartet. Underground prank-call figures Longmont Potion Castle and Brad Carter of Phone Losers of America also appear on “$3.47.”

Among the anniversary edition’s additions are “Amontillado (2026)” featuring Watt White, which reimagines Poe’s chilling tale of revenge and deception; “Wiggle Wiggle Worm (2026)” featuring Jaret Reddick; and “Mr. Raven (2026)” featuring Gosh Diggity. The bonus disc also revisits Lars’s earlier Poe recordings, including “Flow Like Poe,” “The Tell-Tale <3” featuring Mega Ran, and “Mr. Raven (2012)” featuring the Dead Milkmen.

The anniversary edition follows the album’s initial delivery to Kickstarter supporters on Halloween 2025. The campaign raised $29,917 from 385 backers, reaching nearly six times its original $5,000 goal.

“I’ve been rapping about Poe since before I had any business doing it,” says MC Lars. “The EP was a sketch. This is the actual building. A year ago I sent it to 385 people who paid for it before it existed, which is the most Poe thing imaginable, except he never got the money.”

For Lars, the connection between music and literature extends beyond the recording studio. In December 2023, he completed a master’s degree in Instructional Science and Technology, developing and evaluating a curriculum that teaches poetry through rap. His capstone research found statistically significant improvements in students’ attitudes toward poetry and retention of the material.

“I went and got a master’s degree to prove that teaching poetry through rap actually works, because I got tired of people calling it a gimmick. It turns out you can just measure it.”

A Stanford alumnus who also studied at Oxford, Lars has been interpreting Poe through music since “Mr. Raven” in the mid-2000s. He released The Edgar Allan Poe EP in 2012, performed “Flow Like Poe” at Carnegie Hall with a live string ensemble for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and gave a TEDxUSC talk connecting Tupac’s death to the final act of Hamlet.

His career has also included touring with Nas, Snoop Dogg, Bowling for Soup and Simple Plan, appearances on the Vans Warped Tour, and the Australian Top 30 single “Download This Song.”

The release reunites Lars with Oglio Entertainment, which previously released This Gigantic Robot Kills and 21 Concepts (But a Hit Ain’t One). His own Horris Records, founded in 2004, began as an imprint under Nettwerk and Oglio before becoming independent.

Lars is also scheduled to mark release day with a lit-hop performance and education event at Stanford University’s CCRMA Stage, presented with Stanford’s English Department and Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics. Following a residency led by Lars, students from San Jose’s Indigo Middle School will perform original raps inspired by “The Raven.”

“I want a kid to hear this record, get obsessed with ‘The Raven,’ and not realize until later that they did their homework.”

The Edgar Allan Poe LP (Special One Year Anniversary Deluxe Expanded Edition) is out now digitally and on two-disc CD via Oglio Entertainment.

WATCH THE ANIMATED LYRIC VIDEO FOR SECOND SINGLE ‘BUILT FOR SPEED’ — TAKEN FROM THE BRAND-NEW 2026 REMIX OF THE LANDMARK ALBUM BY LONGTIME MOTÖRHEAD COLLABORATOR CAMERON WEBB

Next up in the 40th anniversary celebration, Orgasmatron shifts into top gear with “Built For Speed” — the second single from Cameron Webb’s brand-new remix of the whole album, created from the original multi-tracks.

A full-throttle Motörhead classic and live staple “Built For Speed” does exactly what it says on the tin: huge riffs, Lemmy’s unmistakable bass and vocals, and a relentless charge from start to finish.

MOTÖRHEAD Built For Speed (Cameron Webb 40th Anniversary Remix) Official Lyric Video

The animated lyric video was created by Lee Gregory at ILoveMotion.

Cameron’s remix is part of the Orgasmatron 40th Anniversary Edition, available as a deluxe 3LP bookpack and 2CD, featuring the remastered original mix, the new Cameron Webb Remix, additional studio rehearsals and outtakes recorded in 1985, and the complete BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show session from 1986, capturing the band during the Orgasmatron era. The 40th anniversary edition is also available as a 1LP pressing on transparent violet vinyl, featuring the remastered original studio album.

MORE ON THE ORGASMATRON 40TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

Released in 1986, Orgasmatron featured the line-up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Würzel and Pete Gill. It marked a new chapter for the band, pushing further into heavier territory while retaining the speed, aggression and raw energy that had defined Motörhead from the beginning.

The album’s production was the subject of much discussion among the band and their fans, but beneath it was a formidable collection of songs. “Orgasmatron”, “Deaf Forever” and “Built For Speed” became key parts of the Motörhead live repertoire, while the album’s combination of hard rock, heavy metal and punk influences gave it a character all of its own. Four decades on, Orgasmatron has taken its place as one of the most distinctive and respected records in the Motörhead catalogue.

Now, 40 years after its original release, Orgasmatron is revisited in a new anniversary edition that explores both the album itself and the story behind its creation. The original studio recordings have been remastered for the anniversary and cut at half speed from the original tapes, while longtime Motörhead collaborator Cameron Webb has created a brand-new remix and remaster from the original multi-tracks.

The Motörhead team explain: “Orgasmatron is a special album. Part of that is down to the stylized production of Bill Laswell, who approached the work from a unique perspective. Bill’s work stands in its own right as something special in the Motörhead library, and Orgasmatron stands as one hell of an album. However, there was some controversy in the sense that both Lemmy and Phil Campbell felt that some of the power, bite and energy had been lost in Laswell’s final delivery.

As old-school Motörhead fans, we found ourselves sitting around the coffee table one night several months ago, drinks in hand, pondering what Orgasmatron would sound like if it were to be remixed by Motörhead’s longtime producer, Cameron Webb. Cameron helmed six studio albums, and it’s fair to say he had the trust, love — and grumbles too! — of Lem, Phil and Mikkey. Would it be ‘right’ to ask him if he wanted a crack at remixing Orgasmatron? Would it be disrespecting the original album if we were to offer such a thing alongside Bill’s original work? We concluded a big fat ‘no’! It would be an added adventure if people wanted to take it. So we asked Cameron if he was up for it. And he screamed a rather enthusiastic ‘yes’!”

For Cameron, the opportunity was particularly personal: “My brother introduced me to Orgasmatron when I was 14 years old. I heard the song and thought, ‘Is this even music?’ It was like the devil coming through my cassette tape. And I loved it. That record and Rock ’N’ Roll were my Motörhead records, so being asked to work on this is incredibly special to me. I honestly don’t know anyone in the world who would be more excited than me to do it.”

At the same time, Webb was keen to preserve the character of the original recording and acknowledge the work of producer Bill Laswell and engineer Jason Corsaro: “I love the fact that the original is wild and a little messy. I wanted to be respectful to what Jason Corsaro and Bill Laswell created, rather than simply trying to make it sound like a modern heavy metal record. When we opened up the original 24-track tapes, you could really hear how creative they were with the sounds, particularly the drums. There’s so much character in that recording, and I wanted to preserve that.”

With the original mix in mind, Webb also approached the remix by considering what Lemmy and Phil might have wanted to hear: “Lemmy and Phil both said they didn’t like the original mix, so I thought about what they might have asked me to do if they were sitting next to me. I tried to channel what I knew about them and their approach to recording — bringing out the bass here, defining the guitars there — while still respecting what was already there. The aim was never to replace the original, but to reveal more of what was inside it.”

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) and the Fender Custom Shop (FCS) announce three new signature Telecasters celebrating the genre-defying artistry of John 5: the Fender John 5 Phantom Telecaster, Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster and Fender Custom Shop John 5 “Phantom” Telecaster. Each of these Telecasters captures a different facet of his technical prowess, unmistakable style and musical versatility, bringing his signature sound and design to more players across a range of price points.

“I don’t know if the Telecaster picked me or I picked it. I was so drawn to that shape,” said John 5. “Ever since I was little, Fender was always just the pinnacle, the greatest, and I just wanted nothing more to have the best guitar for me and have the people enjoy it as well.”

John 5’s approach to the Telecaster showcases the instrument’s boundless versatility, pushing its iconic design into bold new territory. Equally at home with distortion-drenched shredding and country chicken-picking, John 5 has spent his career proving there’s no genre, style or vibe off limits. A lifelong Telecaster devotee, his technically demanding, theatrical playing has made him one of rock’s most distinctive guitarists.

“John 5 is one of the most distinctive players in modern guitar, pushing the Telecaster across genres and beyond convention, and these three instruments reflect that versatility,” said Justin Norvell, Fender Chief Product Officer, Guitars. “Bringing the Ghost back into the Fender lineup puts his signature design within reach of more players. Together, this collection gives fans at every level a way to plug into his sound.”

The three signature models translate John 5’s sound and visual style into distinct instruments, from the Fender lineup to the Fender Custom Shop:

John 5 Phantom Telecaster®

John 5’s hard-rock take on the classic Telecaster. Finished in commanding black with a matching headstock, the Phantom pairs DiMarzio® D Activator™ humbuckers with a Floyd Rose® FRTS2000 Special Series tremolo for high-output tones and extreme pitch-bending capabilities. Its stripped-down control layout, featuring a single volume knob and killswitch, keeps the focus on playing, while the streamlined design pushes the Telecaster into bold new territory.

John 5 Ghost Telecaster®

A stripped-back, high-output Telecaster built for John 5’s signature sound. The Ghost continues the Fender line in an eye-catching Arctic White finish with matching headstock, chrome hardware and red accents. A nyatoh body gives this model a distinct feel, while DiMarzio® D Activator™ humbuckers deliver the high-output, high-gain tones John 5 is known for. Streamlined controls, including a single volume knob and killswitch, keep the design focused and performance-ready.

Fender Custom Shop John 5 “Phantom” Telecaster®

Crafted by the Fender Custom Shop, this modernized Telecaster pairs a gloss black two-piece select alder body with Ultra Contours and a maple neck featuring a Modern “C” profile, 10″–14″ compound-radius flat-laminated ebony fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. A pair of DiMarzio® D Activator™ humbuckers delivers tight, high-output tones, while a Floyd Rose® Original double-locking tremolo enables extreme pitch manipulation with tuning stability. Additional premium appointments include Luminlay® side dots, black hardware, locking tuners and a satin urethane neck finish.

Watch The Fender Custom Shop explore the John 5 “Phantom” Telecaster and an in conversation video with John 5 as he walks through the John 5 “Phantom” Telecaster.

In celebration of the new guitar models, John 5 also releases a brand-new song and video for “Phantom” today. See the music video HERE, filmed by Mike Savage and featuring drummer Joey Aguirre. The song was mixed by Barry Pointer.

“Phantom” follows the release of John 5’s latest album Ghost, which offered anchor tracks including “Hollywood Story” (about the first time John 5 picked up a guitar and the path that led him to the incredible career he has today) as well as “Fiend,” “Deviant,” “Moon Glow” and “You Me and the Devil Make Three.”

Z2 AND CBGB JOIN FORCES TO BRING
THE LEGENDARY CLUB’S UNDERGROUND LEGACY TO LIFE IN A NEW OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP

Celebrating CBGB’s history, influence and enduring impact on music, art and culture through a new slate of comics, graphic storytelling and other creative expansions.

Z2, the leading publisher of music-driven graphic novels and illustrated books, and CBGB & OMFUG – Home of Underground Rock are announcing a new partnership that will bring one of the most iconic names in music history into the world of comics and graphic storytelling. Z2’s partnership with CBGB builds upon the cultural footprint of creating new opportunities to preserve the stories of the past while imagining the future of underground music through the visual language of comics.

The partnership will explore CBGB’s extraordinary history, its larger-than-life characters, the artists who passed through its doors and the cultural movements that grew from its stage, while also examining the club’s continuing relevance to new generations of musicians and fans. Through Z2’s signature blend of music, visual art and storytelling, the collaboration will transform the mythology and history of CBGB into new formats designed for both longtime devotees and those discovering its legacy for the first time.

“CBGB has always represented something bigger than a club or physical space,” says Josh Berstein, President of Z2. “It was the pulsing heart of The Bowery where artists could take risks, where scenes were born, and where generations found their voice. That spirit is incredibly aligned with what we do at Z2. We’re thrilled to partner with CBGB to explore this history through the language of comics and graphic storytelling, while also looking forward and aligning with the CBGB FESTIVAL and what means to artists and fans today.”

The announcement comes as CBGB continues its evolution as a living cultural brand, with the return of the CBGB Festival on September 26 at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, NY, presented in partnership with The Bowery Presents. The festival’s 2026 lineup features Morrissey, Patti Smith, Interpol, Sex Pistols (Steve Jones, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock) featuring Frank Carter, Bikini Kill, Mannequin Pussy, Circle Jerks, The Return of Jackie and Judy, Buzzcocks, Agnostic Front, Militarie Gun, High Vis, Bad Nerves, Haywire, Panic Shack, Upchuck and Violet Grohl, among others.

“In everything we do under the CBGB banner, our priority is to not just reconnect with longtime fans, but to also create a connection with a new generation.” said Phil Sandhaus, CBGB Brand Manager. “CBGB has always represented a spirit of creativity, independence and self-expression that continues to influence music, fashion and visual arts. Z2 Comics is totally aligned with blending our nostalgic roots with a modern musical identity with attitude in a visual format.”

The festival embodies the same ethos that has defined CBGB for more than five decades: connecting the originators of underground music with the artists carrying that spirit forward. As CBGB has evolved beyond its original home at 315 Bowery, its mission remains rooted in the same question that drives the festival: Who would be playing at CBGB today?

From the Ramones and Blondie to Patti Smith and Talking Heads, from Agnostic Front and the Cro-Mags to the countless artists who found community and creative freedom within its walls, CBGB helped establish New York City as a global epicenter of underground music. Its iconic logo, aesthetic and DIY ethos have since transcended music to influence fashion, art, publishing and popular culture around the world.

Arriving in 2027, The Illustrated History of CBGB will be written by Daniel Kohn, (Spin, Vice) and Josh Bernstein (Loudwire, Revolver) and will cover the unbelievable TRUE stories that happened inside one of the most notorious and iconic venues in Rock & Roll History, CBGB!

To celebrate the new partnership, Z2 & CBGB have teamed up to release an official CBGB Festival Poster, illustrated by HeCreative Studios in the UK. The 11”x17” art prints are for sale now on Z2comics.com/CBGB and limited numbers of the poster will be available on-site to purchase at the CBGB Festival. Sales while supplies last!

ABOUT CBGB & OMFUG – HOME OF UNDERGROUND ROCK
Founded in 1973 in Manhattan’s East Village, CBGB was ground zero for the seminal punk rock and new wave movements, launching the careers of bands like the Ramones, Blondie, Talking Heads, Television, Patti Smith Group, The Dead Boys, Richard Hell, The Beastie Boys, and The Dictators. During the 1980s, CBGB would become home to the hardcore punk revolution, with bands such as Agnostic Front, Murphy’s Law, Cro-Mags, and Gorilla Biscuits becoming synonymous with the club. In the 1990s, the Club embraced the next generation of hard rock with bands including Sum 41, Korn, Green Day, and Guns N’ Roses regularly performing. Over the past 50 years, CBGB has become the most famous, influential, and talked-about rock & roll club of all time.

CBGB and its iconic logo continue to personify underground and alternative music and all that it stands for. In 2013, the former location at 315 Bowery was added to the National Register of Historic Places and remains a pilgrimage site for legions of music fans today. CBGB’s legacy and cultural relevance are now managed by a passionate group of New York City-based music lovers who are dedicated to curating its impact on music, fashion, and visual art today.

BLINK-182’S ICONIC TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS AND JACKET ERA COMES TO LIFE WITH NEW LIMITED-EDITION 7-INCH VINYL FIGURES FROM ENCORE! TOY CO.

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF BLINK-182’S LANDMARK ALBUM, THE COLLECTIBLE FIGURES CAPTURE MARK HOPPUS, TOM DELONGE AND TRAVIS BARKER IN THEIR CLASSIC-ERA LOOKS

PRE-ORDERS BEGIN THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 + FIGURES EXPECTED TO SHIP FEBRUARY 2027

Twenty-five years after BLINK-182 released Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, one of the most recognizable eras in pop-punk history is getting a collectible worthy of its place in music lore. Encore! Toy Co., a subsidiary of Rockabilia.com, proudly presents the brand-new and officially licensed, limited-edition set of 7-inch vinyl figures depicting Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker, as their iconic “First Date” alter egos, to celebrate the enduring legacy of BLINK-182’s 2001 landmark album.

Now, that nostalgia gets a new physical form.

Available for pre-order beginning Thursday, September 24, the figures are expected to ship in February 2027, giving longtime Blink fans and collectors the chance to bring a piece of the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era into their own collections.

From Mark’s instantly recognizable look to Tom’s signature aesthetic and Travis’ unmistakable checkerboard style, each figure is packed with details that nod to the band’s visual identity during one of the defining chapters of their career. Together, the trio transforms a landmark moment in pop-punk into a limited-edition collectible designed for the fans who grew up with it and the new generation discovering it now.

The project, brought to the table by co-owner and managing operator of music culture and fan merchandise of Rockabilia.com and Encore! Toy Co., Frankie Blydenburgh, explained, “Blink-182 has been a huge part of my life since I discovered them in ’97, and they were really the catalyst for me getting into punk rock. To now be nearly 30 years into that journey and working alongside the entire Blink team to bring an officially licensed project like this to life is pretty unbelievable. The fact that everyone on their side is just as excited as we are to see these figures roll out makes the whole thing even more rewarding. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket was such a defining record for so many fans, and getting to celebrate its 25th anniversary this way is something I’m incredibly proud to be a part of.”

Released in 2001, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket became a defining album of the early-2000s pop-punk explosion, delivering enduring BLINK-182 staples including “The Rock Show,” “First Date,” and “Stay Together for the Kids.” Twenty-five years later, its songs, imagery, and irreverent spirit remain deeply embedded in the culture surrounding the genre. The Take Off Your Pants and Jacket era remains a particularly significant and undeniable part of BLINK-182’s collectible history, with merchandise from the period that carries viral and lasting nostalgia among fans.

The limited-edition Encore! Toy Co. BLINK-182 7-inch vinyl figures aren’t simply another piece of band merchandise — they’re a snapshot of a moment when BLINK-182 helped define what pop-punk could become, immortalizing the classic lineup at a pivotal point in the band’s lengthy history. For longtime fans, it’s a piece of the BLINK-182 story. For collectors, it’s a centerpiece. And for anyone who grew up with Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, it’s a chance to own a little piece of the era that never really left.

All packaging artwork has been created by Jeremiah Purinton and the toy sculpts were crafted by sculptor, alarconos.

Pre-orders open Thursday, September 24 exclusively through EncoreToyCo.com.

Figures are expected to ship February 2027.

PROUDLY ANNOUNCE THE 40th ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF ‘ORGASMATRON’ CELEBRATING 40 YEARS
OF A MOTÖRHEAD CLASSIC

FEATURING A BRAND-NEW REMIX OF THE LANDMARK 1986 ALBUM FROM LONGTIME COLLABORATOR CAMERON WEBB ALONGSIDE THE REMASTERED ORIGINAL RECORDING FROM BILL LASWELL

WATCH A NEW VIDEO FOR THE SONG
ORGASMATRON

PLUS PREORDERS HERE – https://motorhead.lnk.to/orgasmatron40thPR

Released in 1986, Orgasmatron featured the line-up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Würzel and Pete Gill. It marked a new chapter for the band, pushing further into heavier territory while retaining the speed, aggression and raw energy that had defined Motörhead from the beginning.

The album’s production was the subject of much discussion among the band and their fans, but beneath it was a formidable collection of songs. “Orgasmatron”, “Deaf Forever” and “Built For Speed” became key parts of the Motörhead live repertoire, while the album’s combination of hard rock, heavy metal and punk influences gave it a character all of its own. Four decades on, Orgasmatron has taken its place as one of the most distinctive and respected records in the Motörhead catalogue.

Now, 40 years after its original release, Orgasmatron is revisited in a new anniversary edition that explores both the album itself and the story behind its creation. The original studio recordings have been remastered for the anniversary and cut at half speed from the original tapes, while longtime Motörhead collaborator Cameron Webb has created a brand-new remix and remaster from the original stems.

The Motörhead team explain: “Orgasmatron is a special album. Part of that is down to the stylized production of Bill Laswell, who approached the work from a unique perspective. Bill’s work stands in its own right as something special in the Motörhead library, and Orgasmatron stands as one hell of an album. However, there was some controversy in the sense that both Lemmy and Phil Campbell felt that some of the power, bite and energy had been lost in Laswell’s final delivery.

“As old-school Motörhead fans, we found ourselves sitting around the coffee table one night several months ago, drinks in hand, pondering what Orgasmatron would sound like if it were to be remixed by Motörhead’s longtime producer, Cameron Webb. Cameron helmed six studio albums, and it’s fair to say he had the trust, love — and grumbles too! — of Lem, Phil and Mikkey. Would it be ‘right’ to ask him if he wanted a crack at remixing Orgasmatron? Would it be disrespecting the original album if we were to offer such a thing alongside Bill’s original work? We concluded a big fat ‘no’! It would be an added adventure if people wanted to take it. So we asked Cameron if he was up for it. And he screamed a rather enthusiastic ‘yes’!”

For Cameron, the opportunity was particularly personal:
“My brother introduced me to Orgasmatron when I was 14 years old. I heard the song and thought, ‘Is this even music?’ It was like the devil coming through my cassette tape. And I loved it. That record and Rock ’N’ Roll were my Motörhead records, so being asked to work on this is incredibly special to me. I honestly don’t know anyone in the world who would be more excited than me to do it.”

At the same time, Webb was keen to preserve the character of the original recording and acknowledge the work of producer Bill Laswell and engineer Jason Corsaro:
“I love the fact that the original is wild and a little messy. I wanted to be respectful to what Jason Corsaro and Bill Laswell created, rather than simply trying to make it sound like a modern heavy metal record. When we opened up the original 24-track tapes, you could really hear how creative they were with the sounds, particularly the drums. There’s so much character in that recording, and I wanted to preserve that.”

With the original mix in mind, Webb also approached the remix by considering what Lemmy and Phil might have wanted to hear:
“Lemmy and Phil both said they didn’t like the original mix, so I thought about what they might have asked me to do if they were sitting next to me. I tried to channel what I knew about them and their approach to recording — bringing out the bass here, defining the guitars there — while still respecting what was already there. The aim was never to replace the original, but to reveal more of what was inside it.”

The Orgasmatron 40th Anniversary Edition will be available as a deluxe 3LP bookpack and 2CD, featuring the remastered original mix, the Cameron Webb Remix, additional studio rehearsals and outtakes recorded in 1985, and the complete BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show session from 1986, capturing the band during the Orgasmatron era. The 40th anniversary edition is also available as a 1LP pressing on transparent violet vinyl, featuring the original studio album.

SKID ROW CELEBRATES 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BAND’S FORMATION WITH 40 SEASONS: THE BEST OF SKID ROW — NEWLY REMASTERED + AVAILABLE ON VINYL FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME

The definitive collection of Skid Row classics, including “Youth Gone Wild,” “18 And Life,” and “Slave To The Grind,” arrive on November 6th via BMG.

Newly remastered and available on vinyl for the first time ever, as well as on CD.

BMG in partnership with Rhino Entertainment is proud to announce a newly remastered edition of Skid Row’s 40 Seasons: The Best of Skid Row, arriving November 6 in the US and December 4th elsewhere, on CD — and for the first time ever — translucent blue vinyl.

Originally released in 1998, 40 Seasons: The Best of Skid Row brings together 16 tracks from one of hard rock’s most explosive and enduring bands, spanning the multi-platinum albums Skid Row and Slave To The Grind through 1995’s Subhuman Race.

Now newly remastered, the collection puts a fresh spotlight on a catalog that helped define a generation and captures Skid Row at their most raw, their loudest, and their most unforgettable.

Alongside the band’s best-known songs like “Youth Gone Wild” and “18 And Life,” the collection digs deeper into their catalog with demos of “Fire In The Hole” and “Frozen”; remixes of tracks like “Into Another” and “Breakin’ Down”; as well as a live version of “Beat Yourself Blind” record in London’s Astoria in 1995.

Formed in New Jersey, Skid Row broke onto the international stage with their self-titled 1989 debut, establishing themselves with a combination of huge hooks, street-level attitude, and ferocious live reputation. Two years later, Slave To The Grind pushed the band into heavier territory while cementing their place among the era’s defining hard rock acts.

More than three decades later, their songs remain cornerstones of the hard rock canon, resonating with both longtime fans and new generations alike.

40 SEASONS: THE BEST OF SKID ROW TRACK LISTING:

BRAND NEW VIDEO FOR TITLE TRACK “LEGACY” PREMIERED TODAY — WATCH IT HERE

Five Finger Death Punch released various physical editions of their brand-new 10th studio album, Legacy, which arrived digitally on July 31 via Better Noise Music. The collection includes limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette variants featuring exclusive artwork, available now through the band’s official store HERE, with the European and UK vinyl release following on October 9. Adding to today’s release, the band also dropped the official music video for the album’s title track “Legacy.” Watch it HERE.

Celebrating two decades of Five Finger Death Punch, each physical variant stands out as a singular collectible, arriving as the band continues its current North American leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour through October 23.

Standard Vinyl (Clear vinyl)

Walmart Exclusive CD
Amazon Exclusive Vinyl (Green Marble vinyl)
Amazon Exclusive CD
Revolver Exclusive (Orange vinyl)
EMP Exclusive Vinyl (Yellow Marble vinyl)
Sweden Rock Exclusive Vinyl (Cloud vinyl)

Since its digital release in July, Legacy has already yielded over 60 million streams and counting. Upon release, the album claimed spots on 18 international charts. Most notably, it vaulted to #2 on the US Top Digital Albums Chart, hot on the trail of only Ariana Grande’s Petal. On Spotify, it hit #6 on the US Top Albums Chart and #8 globally.

People Magazine marveled at the band’s success in an exclusive in-depth profile, going on to assure: “Five Finger Death Punch is in it for the long run.”

HEAVY Magazine praised, “It’s not as if 5FDP have ever had a point to prove to anyone but themselves, but Legacy is more than a summation of the band to this point. It is an emphatic statement of intent that implies 5FDP are only just getting warmed up, which is exciting and intimidating at the same time.”

The album arrived in the wake of the first single “Eye Of The Storm,” delivering the band’s 18th No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, extending their own record for the most consecutive No. 1s in the chart’s 45-year history. It held the top slot for three consecutive weeks. Current single “Nails in the Coffin” is steadily climbing the rock charts and is already at #21 this week. Revolver praised the track’s blend of battering riffs and melody driven by Ivan Moody’s introspective vocal performance, while Loudwire called it “a furious opening statement for the new album cycle.”

The band is currently on the first leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour, traveling across North America with special guests Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire. The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band’s journey from their 2005 formation and the 2007 release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Punch’d Energy, the 48-city North American tour is currently underway and will wrap up in Bristow, VA, at Jiffy Lube Live on October 23. Check out the full tour routing below. For tickets, VIP offerings, and more, visit here.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of rock’s most charitable bands, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans, first responders, and their families. In 2026, the band continued that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games, to be held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

Zoltan Bathory has selected USA Judo, the National Governing Body for Judo in the U.S., as his beneficiary. At the same time, vocalist Ivan Moody will direct his contribution to the USA Cycling BMX Racing & BMX Freestyle teams. “Our athletes are competing against nations with fully funded teams, while U.S. teams rely almost exclusively on private donations and sponsorships. We believe supporting Team USA is both patriotic and necessary, especially with the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming home in 2028.” Vocalist Ivan Moody added, “These athletes represent the best of who we are. Dedication, sacrifice, discipline. If we can help level the playing field even a little, we’re all in.”

The 20th Anniversary World Tour also marks the newest addition to the Death Punch family: Punch’d Energy joins as the tour’s official sponsor, bringing a whole new way to get energized. Their stackable caffeine gummies each contain 10mg of pure, natural caffeine, so fans can stack as many as they need to build their own dose. At every show, fans 18 and over can scan the on-screen QR code for a free sample shipped straight to their door, no purchase necessary. For more info, visit here.

Next up, after the North American tour, 5FDP will head across the pond for an early 2027 UK/EUROPEAN arena tour with Lamb of God and Bleed From Within. The second leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour will kick off in Manchester, UK, on Saturday, January 16, and will see the band perform in 21 cities across the continent, ending in Helsinki on February 22, 2027.

“Everybody’s Gonna Die (2026)”

‘The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel’
Set for Release on November 13th via BLKIIBLK
Pre-Order HERE

September 16th, is the 40th anniversary of the iconic CRO-MAGS debut ‘The Age of Quarrel’ and the seminal New York hardcore outfit, fronted by Harley Flanagan, is proudly launching their new version of “Everybody’s Gonna Die (2026).” Taken from the 1985 demo, and featured on the upcoming album ‘The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel,’ the track is a tribute to their unforgettable 1986 debut.

Written by Harley in 1985, “Everybody’s Gonna Die” didn’t make the final track list for ‘The Age of Quarrel,’ though it proved to be a demo-era fan favorite. Now, the track reclaims its rightful spot on ‘The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel,’ alongside an official lyric video, available below.

Watch the Lyric Video for “Everybody’s Gonna Die (2026)” HERE

Forty years ago, New York City’s CRO-MAGS defined the metal-punk crossover with their landmark 1986 album, ‘The Age of Quarrel.’ The intensity, influence, and groove of that record continue to resonate today, fueled by the band’s enduring legacy and hard-earned reputation as one of heavy music’s most volatile and influential acts. Led by founding bassist and vocalist Harley Flanagan, who assumed frontman duties beginning with 1989’s ‘Best Wishes,’ CRO-MAGS bring ‘The Age of Quarrel’ full circle with a celebration of the album that started it all.

Joining Flanagan are original ‘AOQ’ guitarist Doug Holland and former CRO-MAGS/ Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George, plus Meg Mills, Zach Blair, and Arthur Rizk for fresh takes on classics including “Hard Times,” “World Peace,” and “Malfunction,” along with the addition of the 1985 demo-era favorite “Everybody’s Gonna Die.” Flanagan is also joined by current band members Dominic Dibenedetto and Dave Sharpe. Drums on all tracks were handled by drum phenom Greyson Nekrutman. Produced and mixed by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Blood Incantation), ‘40 Years of Quarrel’ not merely revisits a pivotal crossover classic, but pours new fuel on the fire for old devotees and new converts to the CRO-MAGS cause.

The decision to revisit ‘The Age of Quarrel’ began during the making of the “Wired for Chaos” documentary. Several songs had to be re-recorded for the film’s soundtrack because the original recordings couldn’t be licensed, inspiring Harley Flanagan to re-record the entire album.

The project also provided an opportunity to address the complicated history surrounding the original record. None of the musicians who performed on ‘The Age of Quarrel’ were ever paid or received an accounting of the album’s sales. For years, Flanagan tried to reunite the original lineup to re-record the album and reclaim the rights to ‘The Age of Quarrel’ and ‘Best Wishes’ through the Copyright Reversion Act, but couldn’t bring everyone together before that window closed.

For the new recording, Flanagan brought together friends, current bandmates, and musicians from other bands to celebrate an album that has impacted generations of fans. Forty years later, everyone who wrote the songs will finally be paid through ASCAP and BMI, with the remaining proceeds going to charity.

The project is Flanagan’s way of honoring the music, its creators, and the fans who have carried these songs forward for four decades while putting the past behind him. The songs belong to the fans. Love wins. The quarrel is over.

POP-PUNK ROYALTY YELLOWCARD RELEASE NEW SONG “HELL WITH ME” (FEAT. STEVE AOKI)

SONG ARRIVES ALONGSIDE BETTER DAYS (DELUXE) OUT NOW LISTEN

WATCH LYRIC VIDEO HERE

Joining forces for an unprecedented collaboration —yet again! — multi-platinum pop-punk royalty YELLOWCARD link up with none other than GRAMMY®-nominated artist, producer, DJ, entrepreneur, and visionary Steve Aoki on a brand new song entitled “Hell With Me” out now via Better Noise.

Worlds collide once more as these two powerhouses pool their collective talents and energies to create a genre-busting crossover banger.

The track arrives as a highlight from Yellowcard’s eagerly anticipated Deluxe Edition of the acclaimed Better Days, available today.

Listen to “Hell With Me” (feat. Steve Aoki) here and watch the lyric video here.

“Hell With Me” marks the second official collab between Yellowcard and Aoki, channeling the chemistry they first unlocked with the 2023 EDM remix of the band’s 2003 smash “Ocean Avenue” and amplifying it. Trusted Yellowcard collaborator and producer Neil Avron notably mixed the track.

“Hell With Me” originated from a demo cooked up by Aoki. Once the group got its collective hands on it, the two respective styles seamlessly blended. The tune’s unshakable melody interlocks like the missing puzzle piece within the inventive production. Fusing electronic, pop, and punk into a new vision for alternative, the song transcends boundaries.

Yellowcard vocalist and guitarist Ryan Key said, “We’ve gotten to work with Steve a few times now and he is an absolute legend. He had a demo laying around for this song that he thought would be fun to collaborate on and it became ‘Hell With Me.’ We also got to reunite with our long-time producer Neal Avron who mixed the track.”

Akoi echoed the excitement, saying, “This is a song we’ve been working on for a long time and I’m really proud of what we did with it. This is a 2027 mixture of rock and electronic coming together. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

The band set the stage for Better Days (Deluxe) with their fan-favorite single, “Calvary Drive.” Right out of the gate, it received plugs from HEAVY Magazine, Rock ‘N’ Load, Wasted Attitude, and Rock Sound who praised it as “a buoyant piece of timeless pop-punk brimming with nostalgia, longing and endless Summer brightness,” going on to assure, “The song itself feels quintessential Yellowcard in sound and substance.”

Prior, they shared the cross-generational phenomenon “Bedroom Posters” (Feat. Blippi). It landed looks from Rock Sound and New Noise Magazine who applauded how, “This version of the song preserves the original’s high-spirit energy and Blippi adds his own distinctive spark to it.”

At the top of the year, Yellowcard teamed with Good Charlotte for the first collaborative version of “Bedroom Posters.” Popping off as a matchmade in pop-punk heaven, it tallied 2.6 million Spotify streams and vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart.

Is there any other band who could seamlessly collaborate with Steve Aoki, Blippi, and Good Charlotte in the same year?! Only the same band that also collaborated with Avril Lavigne and Alkaline Trio.

The deluxe edition caps a career-redefining run for Yellowcard. Since its release in October 2025, Better Days has surpassed 65 million streams and delivered Yellowcard their first and second-ever #1 hits at Alternative radio — the title track “Better Days,” followed by “Bedroom Posters,” featuring Good Charlotte, which is included on the deluxe edition. The album cycle has also seen the band cross over in unexpected directions. It proves there is no ceiling to the things that Yellowcard can and will do.

Next up, Yellowcard will canvas North America throughout September on tour. In November, they cross the pond to hit the road in Europe with Good Charlotte.

25 years after Creed’s Weathered debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and began an extraordinary eight-week run atop the chart, Craft Recordings celebrates the landmark album with a newly remastered and expanded Deluxe Edition, arriving November 20—exactly 25 years to the day after its original 2001 release—on 2-LP, CD and digital formats. Featuring the enduring hits “My Sacrifice” and “One Last Breath, alongside the title track “Weathered” and live staple “Bullets,”Weathered has been certified 6X Platinum by the RIAA and remains a defining rock album of the early 2000s.

The anniversary edition pairs the newly remastered original album with four bonus tracks from the era, led by Creed’s cover of The Doors’ “Riders on the Storm,” featuring legendary Doors guitarist Robby Krieger. Also included are edits of “My Sacrifice” and “Weathered” along with an acoustic version of “Don’t Stop Dancing.” The 2-LP edition marks Weathered’s first-ever release on vinyl and is presented in a gatefold jacket.

Alongside the wide release, the 2-LP set will be available in a range of limited-edition color pressings through the Official Creed Store (Sunspot Swirl), Craft Recordings (Ember Swirl), Revolver (Tiger’s Eye), Barnes & Noble (Moss Swirl), Urban Outfitters(Translucent Forest Green), Books-A-Million (Golden Yellow), and Indie Record Stores/Vinyl Voice (Burnt Red Swirl). All formats are available to pre-order/pre-save now.

Available to stream today is “My Sacrifice (Radio Edit / Remastered 2026),” a newly remastered version of the album’s lead single and one of Creed’s signature songs. Released in the fall of 2001, “My Sacrifice” became a major crossover hit, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helping usher in one of the most successful chapters of the band’s career.

###

By the time Creed began work on Weathered, the Florida rock band had already reached a level few of their contemporaries could match. Their 1997 debut, My Own Prison, established the band nationally, while 1999’s Human Clay propelled them into the mainstream with “Higher” and the GRAMMY®-winning No. 1 single “With Arms Wide Open.” When Weathered arrived on November 20, 2001, Creed were at the height of a remarkable run that had made them one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

Recorded in Florida with longtime producer John Kurzweg and co-producer Kirk Kelsey, Weathered found the band working as a trio: vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist Mark Tremonti and drummer Scott Phillips, with Tremonti also handling bass throughout the album. Musically, the record pushed toward both ends of Creed’s sound.

The opening one-two punch of “Bullets” and “Freedom Fighter” ranks among the band’s heaviest recorded work, with “Bullets” becoming a lasting fixture of their live show, while “My Sacrifice” and “One Last Breath” leaned into the sweeping melodies and arena-sized dynamics that had become central to their appeal. Elsewhere, the title track “Weathered” paired a blues-inflected guitar riff with lyrics reflecting the pressures and scrutiny that accompanied the band’s rapid ascent, while “Don’t Stop Dancing” expanded the album’s palette with contributions from the Tallahassee Boys’ Choir. The brief “Lullaby” brought the record to an understated finish.

Weathered debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and remained there for eight consecutive weeks, ultimately earning a 6X Platinum certification in the U.S. Its two biggest singles crossed decisively into the pop mainstream: “My Sacrifice” reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “One Last Breath,” built around one of Tremonti’s most recognizable guitar figures, peaked at No. 6.

25 years later, the scale of Weathered’s original success is matched by the durability of its songs. “My Sacrifice” and “One Last Breath” remain fixtures of rock culture, while a new generation has increasingly embraced the music and culture of the early 2000s. At the same time, Creed’s return to the stage has introduced the band’s catalog to audiences who were too young to experience its original run. Weathered (25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) revisits the album at the center of that moment—newly remastered, expanded and, for the first time, pressed to vinyl.
