Stephen Morris has said he “doesn’t know” if he’ll return to New Order due to serious illness. In June, the Manchester band confirmed that Morris, as well as Gillian Gilbert, would not be touring with them in the “foreseeable future” due to “personal health reasons”. Morris was the drummer in Joy Division alongside Bernard Sumner, Peter Hook and Ian Curtis, and the remaining members formed New Order after Curtis’ death in 1980. The news marks a major change to New Order’s live incarnation, which has been centred around Sumner, Morris and Gilbert since the band returned in 2011 without founding bassist Hook. Now, Morris has shared…

J ulia Wolf is seeing things in the music video for her latest single “Lamb” — or at least the animated rendering of herself is. It’s a familiar scene framed through video game graphics. The singer-songwriter is riding a motorcycle a little too fast down a slick road cloaked in a light layer of fog when she starts to hallucinate. The scene starts to recall The Twilight Saga: New Moon, only instead of Edward Cullen appearing in front of her as he did for Bella Swan, it’s Sleeping With Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn, who lends a guest verse to Wolf’s…

At the start of this year, Bruce Springsteen had no immediate plans to take the E Street Band back on the road. They’d been touring heavily for the past three years, and it was time for an extended break. But seven days into the year, Renée Good was killed by an ICE agent while protesting in Minneapolis. Just 17 days later, Alex Pretti was fatally shot during a confrontation with two United States Customs and Border Protection officers. Springsteen responded with the protest song “Streets of Minneapolis,” where he honored both Good and Pretti by name and pinned the blame…

The War On Drugs have returned with ‘Who’s That’, their first new single in five years. Listen below. The song follows on from the US band’s fifth and latest studio album, 2021’s ‘I Don’t Live Here Anymore’, and their 2024 live record ‘Live Drugs Again’. Written and produced by frontman Adam Granduciel at his Burbank studio compound, ‘Who’s That’ is a rousing, synth-drenched anthem that finds him in a reflective state, as he acknowledges his mental state. “Did I blow it?/ Did it just explode?” the musician contemplates. “There’s a lion hanging from my teeth/ I can taste it, but…

The last time the War on Drugs released a new song, it was 2022 and the band was taking a victory lap for its well-received album I Don’t Live Here Anymore. Four years later, we haven’t heard a peep from singer-songwriter Adam Granduciel and co. — but that’s changing today with the release of “Who’s That.” The band’s big return delivers everything a War on Drugs fan might be hoping for, especially if you’ve caught this song at one of their recent concerts. Granduciel, who wrote and produced the song at his studio in Burbank, California, layers all kinds of…

That changes today with “Who’s That?“ the band’s first offering in four years. The song was written and produced by singer and bandleader Adam Granduciel, who says it came together in an impressively short amount of time.“’Who’s That’ was written in 10 minutes somewhere between first coffee and school drop off,” he writes in a statement. “It’s a song about trying to love yourself despite things…
