The Offspring have released a video of them performing “Million Miles Away” live with none other than Ed Sheeran. The video was filmed at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival. Ed Sheeran released a statement about the performance which reads, "The first album I ever bought was The Offspring – Conspiracy of One. I used to pretend to be in their band in the mirror and sing along to the album when I was 9, mostly to their song Million Miles Away as it was the first song of theirs I heard. I mentioned it in an interview and Noodles / Dexter got in touch with me when we found out we were all playing the same festival, to see if I wanted to get on stage and sing it. It was an instant yes obvz. Really felt like living out a childhood dream thank you for having me up there guys. Music is a wild ride, every day I’m so grateful to be living my dream in reality." The Offspring released their album Let The Bad Times Roll in 2021. Check out the video below.

Whoa! Hotlung has a new album coming out! We're debuting the first track! Hotlung is a nbew-ish band from Santa Cruz. The lineup includes Kelly Dalbeck (Daxma) and Joe Clements (Furry 66, The Deathless). Influenced by post-punk hallmarks like Quicksand, Seaweed, and even Fugazi, the band makes really big, really introspective, icy sounding music=, It's heavy conceptually and sonically, and has some melody, too. The new album is their first record and it sounds like a band that knows what they are doing.Dalbeck had this to say about the track, "It's about being a woman in general and never really feeling like you have complete agency over your own body. You're never the one in complete control of it, there's always some other factor going on. My experience has been that as women we sometimes disassociate from our bodies, too.You can pre-order the album here and here and you can check out the new tune below, right now!
