Melbourne’s garage rock gentlemen The Mean Times return with their first single in bloody ages, ‘Already Done‘, out now via Golden Robot Records. This track is a fast, fiery anthem for the overworked, overstimulated, and over-it. Packed with razor-sharp wit and relentless energy, the track is a full-throttle takedown of burnout culture, political hypocrisy, and the never-ending noise of modern life.

Stream ‘Already Done’ HERE

With punchy guitars, a pounding rhythm section, and a whole bunch of stuff that demands to be shouted, ‘Already Done‘ is equal parts defiance and catharsis. The track swings from frustration to dark humor, calling out know-it-all boomers, corporate bullshit, the people who oppose it and the sheer absurdity of it all – because when the world’s on fire, set alight by dickheads, there’s nothing you can you do about it but scream and raise a drink, a fist and an eyebrow.

Produced by Anna Laverty, ‘Already Done‘ sets the stage for The Mean Times’ debut album, Feel More Dumb, dropping September 2025. If you’ve ever felt completely spent and surrounded by morons – this one’s for you.

Philadelphia’s Corners of Sanctuary (COS) are set to reissue their 2012 debut album, Breakout, on April 29th. This CD-only release contains the album’s original track listing with several major upgrades, including new recordings, new versions of previous songs, new mixes and masters, and features performances from the current lineup.

The reissue of Breakout on CD, via Sonic Velocity Records, comes as part of the COS’ year-long celebration of the 10-year anniversary release of their seminal 2015 album, Metal Machine.

“The idea to reissue Breakout started back in 2018,” says COS founder and guitarist Mick Michaels. “It’s one of those things where it became one thing after another, and it kept being put off for one reason or another. No more excuses… here it is!”

A limited first pressing of Breakout, which will don the album’s original cover artwork, will be available April 29th, exclusively on the official Corners of Sanctuary website,  www.cornersofsanctuary.com , and at all of the band’s shows.

“Breakout is a sentimental piece of this band’s journey,” adds Michaels. “This reissue honors that history, all of it… the good, the bad, and the ugly.”

In addition, COS dropped a new single and lyric video in February, “Never Count Me Out.” The single is included on the new EP, Forever Metal, and the single is now streaming on all major platforms via SODEH Records and the lyric video can be viewed on Youtube. Autographed CD copies of Forever Metal are also available at the band’s website.

Following the release of “Not Your Dog“, Sandness continues building momentum toward their upcoming album “Vertigo” with the brand-new single “Draw The Line”, now available on all digital platforms.

Direct and melodic, “Draw The Line” reveals a more emotional and introspective side of the band, blending hard rock energy with strong ’80s AOR influences. Inspired by a personal turning point, the lyrics speak about the strength to start over and view life from a new perspective. With catchy riffs, big choruses, and polished production, Sandness delivers a song that showcases their growth while staying true to their roots.

Featured on the tracklist of “Vertigo”, “Draw The Line” perfectly represents the spirit of the album: a record born in a time of transition that pushed the band to rethink their creative process. Recorded and produced by Alessandro Del Vecchio at Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio (Italy), the album blends modern and vintage rock sounds, combining radio-friendly immediacy with arena-sized impact.

Digital Single – https://lnk.to/lYnj1A

With over fifteen years of experience, Sandness have carved out their place in the European hard rock scene with a signature sound that mixes hard rock, power pop and classic metal, winning over fans of UFO, D-A-D, The Darkness and Y&T. Despite being a power trio, their live shows are explosive and full of energy, as proven by past performances alongside Lita Ford, Nazareth and Tygers Of Pan Tang.

“Draw The Line” is further proof of Sandness’ artistic evolution—a single that hits with its energy and emotional depth, offering a taste of what promises to be a powerful and multifaceted album.
​
The band will present the new album live on May 20, 2025, at Alcatraz – Milan, opening an epic night alongside Eclipse and Swiss hard rock legends Gotthard, in what will be their only Italian show!

Rock band Pageant is excited to announce the release of their new single, “Show Me How To Love You”. Pageant is a hard-hitting 4-piece rock band based in High Point, NC, built to revive and redefine rock ‘n’ roll for a new generation. With Roxxi Dirt on bass and vocals, Dylan Dynasty on drums, Dezzy Foxx shredding lead guitar, and Cam Duke on rhythm, Pageant fuses the raw power of rock’s golden era with a modern edge that refuses to be boxed in. Inspired by icons like Mötley Crüe, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, and Cinderella, their sound delivers the high-energy guitar-driven sounds of the past while unapologetically adding new, modern elements.  

The band comments on the single, “Have you ever met someone that makes you feel like a teenager again, unsure of how to express your feelings? This song is a high-energy anthem about the inability to navigate strong feelings in a new relationship. Produced by Brian Craddock (Daughtry) and mastered by Grammy-winning Brad Blackwood (Mammoth, Korn, Maroon 5, Sevendust), this song is a powerhouse that takes you on a high-speed ride the second it starts and doesn’t slow down.”

While honoring the giants of classic rock, Pageant also embraces a wide array of musical influences. Their distinct sound seeks to bridge the gap between the past and future of rock, providing listeners with a unique experience that feels both raw and refined. With a passion for every genre, their music offers a fusion of styles that feels new yet nostalgic, a perfect balance between the familiar and the unexpected.

Pageant is actively pushing boundaries through relentless live shows, a highly-driven DIY work ethic, and a strong media outreach to put their name in every rock fan’s mouth. Whether it’s blowing the roof off college frat houses, self-funding tours across the country, or working with major producers and Grammy winners, Pageant is doing the work and making noise. They’re not just playing music. They’re building a movement.

Thomas Eriksen’s UDÅD Return with New Two-Track Single ‘Positive Tanker/Bakenfor Urskogens Utkant’

Thomas Eriksen, the mastermind behind Norwegian black metal titans Mork, returns today with new music from his band Udåd. Formed in late 2022 as an outlet for his darker, more primitive songwriting instincts, Eriksen’s Udåd channels pure nihilism, steeped in the raw, unrelenting fury of traditional black metal. In this vein, the new single from Udåd titled ‘Positive Tanker’ is a descent into existential suffering.

“This is my tribute to an extremely disturbed mind. ADHD, depression, regrets, obsession, pain, self-hate frustration, overwhelming amounts of obstacles and too many thoughts at once ending up in a distorted static chaos which I ironically called Positive Thoughts. Can you make it all the way through?” – Thomas Eriksen

The B-side of the new single features ‘Bakenfor Urskogens Utkant’, a standout track from UDÅD’s self-titled debut album, released in 2024.
