(hennemusic) Ozzy Osbourne has announced that he will release an expanded 30th anniversary digital reissue of his 1991 classic, "No More Tears", on September 17.

The rocker's sixth studio record featured the US Top 30 hit, "Mama, I'm Coming Home", as one of four top ten singles on the Billboard Rock Tracks chart alongside "Road To Nowhere", "Time After Time", and the title track; in addition, the album's "I Don't Want To Change The World" earned Ozzy his first Grammy for a live version of the track that was featured on his 1993 "Live And Loud" album.

(hennemusic) Mammoth WVH played a second club show this week ahead of joining Guns N' Roses for a US tour launch this weekend. The Wolfgang Van Halen project performed at RocHaus in West Dundee, IL on July 28, the night after making their live concert debut at small venue in Lawrence, KS.

"...and that's show number 2!," shared Wolfgang on social media after the event. "It's an unreal feeling to finally be able to tour IN GENERAL, let alone with this music, AND to get the amazing response we've gotten so far. Thanks so much for showing up! Y'all are amazing!" (read more)


(hennemusic) Whitesnake will release a series of 25th anniversary reissues of their 1997 album, "Restless Heart", on October 29. The band's ninth studio set was originally intended to be singer David Coverdale's third solo record, but his record label pressured him to issue the project under the David Coverdale & Whitesnake moniker.

Originally launched with the lead single, "Too Many Tears", what became the band's first new studio album in eight years went on to reach the Top 10 in Sweden, Finland and Japan, a Top 40 set in Coverdale's native UK, yet was never released in the US. (read more)


(hennemusic) Pink Floyd are sharing audio of a demo for "Marooned", an instrumental from the band's 1994 album, "The Division Bell." "Marooned" has the distinction of being the only Pink Floyd track to ever win a Grammy Award when it was honored as Best Rock Instrumental Performance at the 37th Annual Grammy Awards in 1995.

"The birth of Marooned from the Pink Floyd sessions of January 1993," says the band. "Originally known as Cosmic 13, it's just Rick, David, Nick and Guy jamming direct to a stereo DAT machine at Britannia Row Studios. Posted on 28 July 2021, to mark Rick's birthday." (read more)


Dierks Bentley has released a brand new single called "Beers On Me" that features Breland and HARDY. The song is the follow up to his chart topping single "Gone".

He had this to say, "HARDY threw out this title and I remember immediately thinking, 'I wish I could buy all my fans a beer.' After the year we've all had, it would be nice to get the first round and say, 'Hey, we all got some problems but we're going to forget about them for a little while...the beers are on me'.

LIARS have released a new video for their track "From What The Never Was." The song comes from their forthcoming album, "The Apple Drop", which will arrive on August 6th.

The new visual completes the Clemens Habicht directed video trilogy and acts as a prequel of the time leading up to the clips for "Sekwar" and "Big Appetite." (read more)


Flight Club are releasing debut album "Until The Sun Downs" this week and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the latest single "High Roller". Here is the story:

When we went into the studio we probably had over 30 demos or ideas we had previously started toying with. A big thing for me was trying to push ourselves and try out new tones and styles that we had been listening to forever but didn't have the scope to explore them in our shorter releases. A majority of our previously released work focused on high gain guitars and high energy drums. The vocals were punchy and in your face. "High Roller" was our attempt to slow things down, mellow out a bit, and play something an audience could dance with. (read more)
