Grammy-nominated US powerhouse singer-songwriter Beth Hart releases a digital deluxe edition of her acclaimed 2024 album, You Still Got Me, via Provogue/Artone Label Group. Hart’s tour has recently been sweeping across Europe, and she will return for more shows in July and again in November. She has also just announced US tour dates for September.

Reinvigorating the record, the deluxe edition unlocks six tracks previously available only on a limited-edition box set. The sultry groove of the latest video for ‘Stuff For You’ was filmed at her show at De Roma in Antwerp, Belgium, on May 24, 2026, capturing behind-the-scenes footage as well as from the fans’ perspective.

This follows the jazzy blues sizzler, ‘Mean Ole Man Of Mine,’which tells the story of a girl drawn to a wild, larger-than-life man—someone rough, unpredictable, and unapologetically bold.

The deluxe edition turns up the heat with extended versions of “Savior With A Razor,” featuring the unmistakable guitar firepower of Slash of Guns N’ Roses, along with “Wonderful World,” “Wanna Be Big Bad Johnny Cash,” and “Don’t Call The Police.”

The original album made a powerful global impact, storming the charts at #1 on the US Billboard Blues Album chart, #1 on the UK Jazz & Blues chart, and Top 10 across Europe. With over 11 million streams worldwide, it stands as a testament to Hart’s magnetic artistry and enduring connection with audiences.

You Still Got Me, exemplifies her ability to seamlessly navigate across genres, breaking boundaries between blues, rock, and Americana. If you have ever seen Beth Hart live or immersed yourself in her music, you know she pours every ounce of herself into her songs. Firebrands inspire; it’s what attracts people to them. We all have our “Me” when she sings “You still got me” – a loved one, a friend, a pet, a place, a memory, a song. Beth Hart continues to inspire.

UNWRITTEN LAW Are Seeing Red in San Diego

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 19, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: UNWRITTEN LAW. Leave a comment

The gig posters said it all – “An Evening with Unwritten Law – a Live Performance Featuring Songs From Their Entire Catalog.”

And what a catalog the band had to choose from. Even as a packed audience crammed itself into San Diego’s SOMA that evening in April 2022, not only for the live show but also a listening party for the band’s latest album, The Hum (also available on Cleopatra Records), it, too, was humming, trying to guess what they’d be hearing as the evening wore on.

Unwritten Law had a 30-plus year career behind it, after all, dating back to when drummer Wade Youman was just 12 years old, forming a punk band with a handful of friends. A lot of members have passed through Unwritten Law’s ranks since then… even when the band was readying its debut album in 1993, Youman was the only surviving founder member. And, a few hiatuses notwithstanding, he still is.

But vocalist Scott Russo, who was recruited when the band heard him sing Fugazi’s “Waiting Room” at a house party, came on board in 1990; and Chris Lewis (lead guitar) and Jonny Grill (bass) have been unwriting the laws for more than 20 years. Yeah, there’s a lot of history in this band, and a lot of songs for the fan club to call out for.

How many would they get to hear?

Classic hit “Seein’ Red,” of course, would be on display – and it shoots out today as the album’s first single, a dramatic rendition that erupts like a runaway truck from that historically misleading acoustic intro; and “Save Me (Wake Up Call) pounds in as the show nears its conclusion, but still Scott promises there’s more surprises to come.

He’s right, too.

SINGLE: https://orcd.co/unwrittenlaw_seeinredliveinsandiego

“This was our first real show back after the pandemic,” says Chris. “We wanted to do something special and different, but also familiar. We chose Soma in SD, which we have a deep connection with. Not just the place, which is in its third location, but also the people who still run it and the history involved. Len Paul has been running a version of Soma in San Diego since the early nineties, and we have a long list of amazing shows we’ve played with him at his venues.

”Not only was it our first show back, it was also a prelude to the release of our album, The Hum. We played the whole record over the PA before the show, bought pizza, and walked around handing it out. We had a bunch of friends play a few songs before we came out (Sitting on Saturn, Fran Roz, Mouthguard), as well as a bunch of legendary SD musicians make guest appearances during our set, including Scott’s daughter Cailin, his son Tre, and both original UL guitarists, Rob Brewer and Steve “The Kid” Morris.

”It was a family affair, to be sure, and one we’re very lucky to have had the incomparable Joe Marlett capture for us on wax.”

Seventeen songs peel out of the catalog, going all the way back to “C.P.K.” and “World War III” from the band’s Blue Room debut, “Superman” from Oz Factor; “California Sky” from 1998’s eponymous offering; and all the way up to “Beggars” from The Hum. Of course they could have played more, but they could have played all night and someone would go home without hearing their favorite.

But a lot of them did hear what they were waiting for, and some folk, the really smart ones, didn’t care what the band played. It was enough that they were playing. And listening to the album today, it’s difficult to disagree. Unwritten Law have had a couple of “best of” style compilations over the years, and they did their job well.

None do it as perfectly as this gig, though. An Evening With Unwritten Law is more than a souvenir of a great show. It’s a party to which you will never tire of getting an invite.

Or, as Chris concludes, “We’re so stoked to share this magical night with everyone. We hope you enjoy it!”

Polish U.K.Ć. Release Music Video for Song ‘Mętne słońce’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 19, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: U.K.Ć. Leave a comment

U.K.Ć. is a solo project created by Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki, known for his work with Corruption, Devilish Impressions, Virgin Snatch, Hermh, and Christ Agony.
Due to its one-man nature, the project and its music were never intended to leave the confines of the recording studio. The music is infused with a strong emotional charge, woven from the most sincere feelings. U.K.Ć. is a form of metal that is not afraid of its own sensitivity.

On March 6, 2026, the second album entitled “Anomalie – Upadek Konającego Ćwierćwiecza” was released by Via Nocturna in digital format and on CD. The vinyl edition followed on June 15. The album was recorded at the renowned Hertz Studio, with Karol Anders (Quo Vadis, Supreme Void) responsible for tracking, and Wojtek Wiesławski (Azarath, Vader) handling the final sound. The album artwork was created by Rafał Kubisiak, while the photo session was done by Magdalena Zagóra.

Yesterday, the music video for the track “Mętne słońce” premiered online. The video was created in collaboration with Art Of Vision.

Łukasz comments on the single: “‘Mętne Słońce’ is a track inspired by cultural and religious diversity. As a passionate traveler, I approach the opportunity to experience customs from places significantly different from European standards with gratitude and respect. The direct impulse for writing the lyrics came from observing ignorance, stupidity, pride, and narcissistic arrogance shown by citizens of what we perceive as a developed, educated, and civilized country toward differences encountered, for example, in Middle Eastern cultures. This track is a reaction born out of a sense of embarrassment, shame, and helplessness. ‘Mętne Słońce’ is a statement of opposition!”

HÄ/DA to Release Brand-New Album This Fall, First Single ‘Workingman’s Blues’ Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 19, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: HÄ/DA. Leave a comment

Finnish hard-rock juggernaut HÄ/DA first introduced itself to the world with their (Almost) 20 Minutes Of Love, an unapologetically AC/DC-worshipping EP release in the spring of ’25. Now they have a brand-new, full album follow-up releasing this autumn.

The first single from the upcoming record is the energetic rock tune Workingman’s Blues, released on Wednesday, 17 June 2026.

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music etc.): https://push.fm/fl/hada-workingmansblues

“The lyrics deal with what an ordinary working-class person thinks about the current state of the world — where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, and honest working won’t make you wealthy,” vocalist Antti “DeeAa” Heikkinen says.

Much like the debut EP, the forthcoming album walks firmly in AC/DC’s footsteps, especially in terms of instrumentation. “What would Angus Young play?” has been guitarist Juho “Hässi” Hämäläinen’s guiding dogma in HÄ/DA from the day one — and that principle still remains. Nevertheless, DeeAa’s flexible delivery and catchy vocal melodies broaden the band’s sonic palette, ensuring this is far from a personality-free pastiche.

Tracks from HÄ/DA’s debut EP received radio play on FM and online stations in the United States, France, England and Scotland.

Hässi also performs in Dirty Deeds Indeed, one of Finland’s longest-running AC/DC tribute bands, as well as in the heavy-rock outfit Rane Rautiainen & Paha Kaksonen. DeeAa, in turn, is the singer-guitarist of the Kuopio-based heavy-rock band Mosfite. The musicians also share a past in the late-1990s Jyväskylä rock group Brutaali Magneetti.

BOMBUS’ self-titled debut album, ‘Bombus,’ was originally released in 2010 via Mourningwood Recordings. This Swedish heavy metal release earned widespread critical acclaim and established the band’s raw, uncompromising sound.

The album sold out within weeks and has remained unavailable ever since — until now. It finally returns in a newly remastered edition with updated artwork, reissued via Black Lodge Records, and available on September 11th.

Reborn and revitalized, the 2010 debut burns brighter than ever. This definitive edition has been remastered by Magnus Lindberg (Redmount Studios), renowned for his work with The Hellacopters, Cult of Luna, Refused, Alcest, and more, bringing enhanced clarity and power to the album’s original intensity.

This reissue also includes the standout track “Biblical,” a longtime fan favorite and a bold detour within the band’s catalog.

Since forming in 2008, BOMBUS have built a formidable reputation within the Scandinavian rock and metal scene. Following their explosive debut, the band went on to release ‘The Poet and the Parrot’ (2013), ‘Repeat Until Death’ (2016), ‘Vulture Culture’ (2019), and most recently the critically acclaimed ‘Your Blood’ (2024), continuously evolving their sound while staying true to their roots.
