Spiritbox Accidentally Drop – Then Pull – New Song

Fans got a surprise earlier today (March 3) when Spiritbox briefly released a new track, “Crystal Roses”, ahead of schedule. The song, from their upcoming album Tsunami Sea (out March 7), appeared on streaming services but was quickly taken down.

Vocalist Courtney LaPlante addressed the mix-up on social media, confirming it wasn’t meant to drop yet “I don’t normally like to air out behind the scenes things like this, but we did not approve putting out another single today. None of us were aware this was happening. I am extremely disappointed and only found out about it late last night, by chance. Trying to take it down asap.”

Despite the slip, excitement is higher than ever for the album’s release, following singles “Soft Spine,” “Perfect Soul,” and “No Loss, No Love.”

Wes Scantlin Blames Ex-Bandmate for Rocky Puddle of Mudd Show

Puddle of Mudd frontman Wes Scantlin is facing backlash after a chaotic performance at Daytona Bike Week (March 1), where fans reported sound issues and an impaired stage presence. Despite the band’s good intentions—raising $5,000 for St. Jude’s—the night took a turn as some fans walked out.

Scantlin later claimed in a fan-recorded video that he was “roofied” by former bassist Sean Sammon. Flipping double middle fingers before storming off Scantlin said “I suck, I suck and I suck … but I was roofied. My old bass player Sean Sammon roofied me last night, so he can go fuck his ass.”

Whether fans believe him or not, the controversy continues to follow Scantlin wherever he goes.

The Morrison Hotel, forever etched in rock history as the cover of The Doors’ 1970 album, is no more. The band took to social media, mourning the loss of the iconic Los Angeles landmark, which was recently destroyed by fire.

Photographer Henry Diltz captured the legendary shot of Jim Morrison and the band standing behind the hotel’s front window—without permission, in true rock fashion.

Though the building is gone, its legacy—and The Doors’ music—lives on.

Jerry Cantrell Revives Alice In Chains Deep Cut After 31 Years

Jerry Cantrell kicked off his 2025 solo tour in Ontario, Canada, delivering a 17-song career-spanning set—but one moment stole the show.

For the first time since 1993, Cantrell played Alice In Chains’ “Hate to Feel”, a deep cut from Dirt that was last performed when Layne Staley was still alive.

While Cantrell is Alice’s primary songwriter, this track was uniquely Staley’s—one of the few he wrote solo and played guitar on. According to Setlist.fm, it was performed 88 times before disappearing… until now.

The Black Keys Announce ‘No Rain No Flowers’ Tour After Scrapped 2024 Run

The Black Keys are hitting the road again, announcing the first leg of their No Rain No Flowers North American tour for May and June 2025.

This comes after their 2024 International Players Tour was abruptly canceled, leading to a shake-up in management amid reports of low ticket sales.

But there’s a silver lining—Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney used the time to record a new album, which might share its name with the tour. Fans won’t have to wait long for new music—the first single, “The Night Before,” drops Feb. 7.

Spiritbox’s Courtney LaPlante Trolls Interviewer After Grammy Mix-Up

Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox just delivered one of the funniest moments of the 2025 Grammy Awards after an interviewer mistook her for Poppy—and she ran with it.

During the red carpet chaos, LaPlante, who was nominated for Best Metal Performance with Spiritbox’s “Cellar Door,” was addressed as Poppy, who was also nominated for her feature on Knocked Loose’s “Suffocate.” Instead of correcting the mistake, LaPlante kept a deadpan face and played along.

“I am Poppy,” she stated, before jokingly claiming Poppy’s Grammy history and hoping to “take home the award for Knocked Loose and myself.”

The clip quickly went viral, with fans praising LaPlante’s humor. While neither won the Grammy—Gojira took home the award.

In true rock ‘n’ roll fashion, Billy Idol is giving back.

Taking it a step further, Idol himself will personally match the donation.

Rock Community Mourns the Loss of Guitar Legend John Sykes

The rock world is reeling from the loss of John Sykes, the iconic guitarist known for his work with Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, and Blue Murder. Sykes passed away at age 65 following what an official statement describes as “a hard-fought battle with cancer.”

Tributes have poured in from peers and fans alike, celebrating the life and legacy of a musician whose riffs and solos left an indelible mark on rock history.

David Coverdale, who collaborated with Sykes on Whitesnake’s Slide It In and self-titled Whitesnake albums, shared his heartfelt condolences:
“Just heard the shocking news of John’s passing. My sincere condolences to his family, friends & fans.”

Known for his blistering guitar work and songwriting prowess, Sykes was instrumental in shaping the sound of classic rock staples. His contributions to tracks like “Still of the Night” and “Cold Sweat” cemented his status as a legend in the rock pantheon.

John Sykes’ influence will live on through his music, inspiring generations of rockers to come. Rest in power, John.

Green Day Takes a Swing at Elon Musk During South African Show

Green Day turned heads once again during their January 20th show in Johannesburg, South Africa, by tweaking the lyrics of their iconic track American Idiot to take a jab at tech mogul Elon Musk.

While performing the title track from their 2004 album, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong altered the lyric “I’m not part of a redneck agenda” to “I’m not part of an Elon agenda.” The change took aim at Musk, who was born in Pretoria, South Africa, before becoming a U.S. citizen in 2002. Musk, now the world’s richest man and head of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, has been no stranger to controversy—and Green Day didn’t hold back in making their stance clear.

This isn’t the first time Green Day has rewritten the lyrics to “American Idiot” for a pointed critique. Last year, they updated the same line to “I’m not part of the MAGA agenda” as a direct rebuke of Donald Trump’s influence. The band has a history of politically charged performances, including their memorable chant, “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist U.S.A.,” at the 2016 American Music Awards.

Musk, using a made up word, previously mocked the band’s activism, claiming they had gone from “raging against the machine to milquetoastedly raging for it.” As of now, the billionaire has yet to respond to Green Day’s latest onstage antics, which coincided with a day of controversial gestures from Musk following Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Green Day continues to use their platform to call out figures of power, proving once again that punk rock is alive, well, and unafraid to speak truth to power.

Spiritbox Launches Charity Raffle to Aid California Wildfire Victims

Metal heavyweights Spiritbox have joined the growing list of artists and festivals stepping up to support victims of the devastating California wildfires. The band recently announced an exclusive charity raffle to raise funds for recovery efforts, with proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles and Altadena Girls.

The initiative, revealed on Spiritbox’s social media pages this past Friday (Jan. 17), was spearheaded by guitarist Mike Stringer. In his post, Stringer shared the band’s determination to “not only donate” but to “raise as much as possible to help.” For Spiritbox, the cause is deeply personal, as bassist Josh Gilbert lost his home in the Eaton Fire.

Adding to their significance, the items in the raffle were used by the band either on tour or in the studio, making them highly coveted collectibles for fans.

Each $20 donation grants one entry into the raffle, giving supporters an opportunity to own a piece of Spiritbox’s history while aiding vital wildfire recovery efforts.

This charitable move by Spiritbox underscores the band’s commitment to using their platform for good. For those eager to contribute and win, check out the full details on their official social media pages.
