The band announced this cancellation in an Instagram post which reads in part, ”A bit of bad news and a bit of good, unfortunately, due to a family emergency we will need to cancel a few of our late June dates as we simply cannot be away from home for a prolonged period whilst we look after our loved ones. […] All dates before and after and all dates noted on the poster will go ahead including the French headliner and Hellfest which is just before the tour was supposed to begin. […] Apologies to those wanting to see us on the cancelled dates, we hate sacking off a show but I hope you understand that the health of our loved ones comes first.” The Chisel released their album What A Fucking Nightmare in 2024.

They’re Goin’ Places, and you’re not! New York pop-punk veterans Goin’ Places are celebrating their 25th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than with a brand new record? The band will be releasing their fourth full-length album Imperfect later this year on Mom’s Basement Records, and they’re streaming the title track – one of 15 songs on the album’s tracklist – right now. Check it out below!

We’ve got a new album coming, so we thought now was a good time to release the first single. It’s called “Imperfect” and is about us, you and everyone you know. This song is about looking at yourself in the mirror, realizing that you have flaws and being ok with that. It’s also about accepting the fact that your partner isn’t perfect either and that’s what makes them perfect for you.

Stay tuned for more to come in what’s sure to be a big year for Goin’ Places! Follow the band on their socials, keep an eye on the Mom’s Basement webstore for record pre-orders, and all that good shit.

But, on the eve of the current Swans nexus, the band releases the absolutely mammoth album The Birthing. Of the LP's seven tracks, four are twenty minute epics and only one is less than ten minutes. it's massive and expansive and heavy and far out.So, Punknews' John Gentile spoke with Gira about the album and the end of the current incarnation of the mighty Swans.

On Sunday, 18 May 2025 Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle brought their Sessanta 2.0 tour to EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia. These bands came together at the first Sessanta tour in 2024 (covered by DS head honcho Jay Stone) to celebrate Maynard James Keenan’s 60th birthday. The bands had so much fun that they decided to do it again in 2025!

The bands started off with short sets, then transitioned to mixing it up with different band members joining in on each other’s songs. All three bands came together for the final song, “Grand Canyon“, where everyone was onstage and rocking out together. The collaborative format was teased in the Sessanta promos, which dubbed the bands “Primifer, A Primus Circle, A Puscifect Primcle, and A Prifmect Puscicle.” The final song was also the only time fans were allowed to use their phones to photograph the moment for themselves, as there was a “NO Photo Policy” during the show. Maynard James Keenan has said he feels it’s important for people to be present and /enjoy the show without the use of technology.

Act I

A Perfect Circle: The Package, Disillusioned, Blue

Primus: Here Come the Bastards, Groundhog’s Day, Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread

Puscifer: Man Overboard, Horizons, Indigo Children

Act II

Primus: Little Lord Fentanyl (w/ Maynard James Keenan and Carina Round), Welcome to This World, My Name is Mud, Jerry Was a Race Car Driver

Puscifer, Primus, and A Perfect Circle: Grand Canyon

This night was an extra special night because A Perfect Circle founder and guitarist Billy Howerdel celebrated his 55th birthday on stage in front of fans.

Speaking of legendary musicians, while traveling through Cottonwood, Arizona in October 2024, my hubby and I stumbled upon a cool new record store that had just opened up called “Queen Bee Vinyl,” only learning it was Maynard’s record store once inside. Be sure to check it out!

We also stopped by Merkins Vineyard, and highly recommend snagging your own bottle of Maynard’s wine. 

Go see the show if you haven’t and experience it for yourself.
