<p>We’ve been so busy blaming our ex over the past year or so that we totally slept on The Beaches dropping a couple of delectable new jams. But the white-hot Toronto band isn’t worried about any of that, as the unfuckwithable guitar-pop unit is purely concerned with what’s up next, and fast on the agenda is a night out soundtracked by boisterous new bop “Last Girls at the Party.” This firecracker dropped yesterday (April 3), and it retains the playful […]</p>

London, Ontario’s Pro Wrestling The Band are getting ready to unleash their previously vinyl-exclusive album Falling In Love With Pro Wrestling The Band on streaming services for the first time. The album collects the band’s 2024 EP along with 7 of their singles, all of which were mastered for vinyl by Kyle Ashbourne who made them sound even fuller than before. The 13 songs show a band coming into their sound as they hone their songwriting chops, build up their high-energy blend of punk, power pop, and alt-country, and kick out so many infectious hooks that it is impossible to pick just one to sing along with. Falling In Love With Pro Wrestling The Band hits streaming services for the first time on April 4 and you can pre-save it here. You can also order a physical copy of the album from Grooves Records Records right here. Pro Wrestling The Band will be touring around Ontario this spring and will be playing Pouzza Fest in Montreal in May. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with guitarist and vocalist Danny Kidd and drummer Nathan Stock to talk about their decision to release the vinyl masters on streaming, the community-oriented scene in London, playing Pouzza Fest, wrestling, and so much more.

Trust Records has announced that they will be reissuing 7Seconds’s 1986 album New Wind. Along with a reissue of the original record (which has been restored from its original tapes and remastered), a remixed version of the album called Change In My Head will also be released.

Today, we are pleased to debut the new track by Sivan Langer! This track is wild- it's got a little T-rex melodic bop, a little Flaming Lips aggressive weirdness, a little Syd Barrett tripped out mind fry, and it's pretty negative- which is very, very cool.Speaking to Punknews, Sivan Langer said, "I wrote Simple Song because I was going through a period of depression and just feeling negativity from about every aspect of life. In these moments, people tend to go to their place of security, which for me is music, words, and songwriting."Rough Mix is out today and you can check out the new single below, right now!

<p>Over in Vegas, Paramount just wrapped up their CinemaCon presentation, and they definitely won the “at Home” front. Sure, they brought Tom Cruise out on stage to both sell Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning (who also paid tribute to Val Kilmer with a moment of silence); they wowed with footage of Glen Powell in Edgar Wright’s upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s The Running Man (which we keep getting confused with The Long Walk, even though we love the Arnold […]</p>

Rise Against have released a video for their new song “Prizefighter”. This is the band’s second single of 2025 and follows “Nod” which was released in January. Rise Against released their album Nowhere Generation in 2021. Check out the video below.

<p>Since we’re not on-site in Vegas to watch a whole bunch of movie trailers, we took a bit of a break from bringing you the CinemaCon highlights to mourn the dearly departed Val Kilmer, and because, outside of the news from the Lionsgate presentation that Keanu Reeves will return for John Wick 5, there wasn’t too much to write about. You’ll likely see the Superman footage Warner Bros. showed in their presentation at your local theater in front of Minecraft […]</p>

<p>When Lowell’s beloved hub Mill No. 5 shuttered this past February, one of its newest residents had only been in business for six months. ADamnShame Records joined the Mill’s wealth of vendors last July, stepping into the former Vinyl Destination storefront like a passing of the torch between two arbiters of Lowell’s cultural scene. Now, in light of the Mill’s final days, ADamnShame Records owner Adam O’Donnell has teamed up with a different staple of downtown Lowell: Lala Books. The record […]</p>
