We’re still two months out, and 2026 has seen numerous tour announcements already. With 2025 a stupidly busy year for releases, it only makes sense that next year will be stupidly busy for touring. So, get your wallets ready. 2026 will be a doozy. And Latin America isn’t being forgotten about. Ill Niño have just […]
The character-driven Tumbleweed Connection doesn’t sound anything like the sleek soundtrack work that Elton John devolved into by the ’90s. It hardly sounds like his peak ’70s stuff, either. This Old West-themed collaboration with Bernie Taupin, released on Oct. 30, 1070, was writerly and brave enough to experiment with song form in a way John […]
Electric Callboy have dropped a huge new single, ‘TANZNEID’, ahead of their upcoming world tour.
