ALREADY DEAD – Blue Collar Hardcorers Unleash Nuclear Single From Their Upcoming 3rd Album
Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine
9 November 2026
Band: ALREADY DEAD
Who: Before forming the Massachuttes trio’s its members were raised
on punk, ska, and hardcore noisemakers, and mix in other influences
across a spectrum of genres to create a sound that’s entirely their own.
Track: 0, 5s and 25s
The lead single from their upcoming 3rd album ‘Traditions and Dysfunctions’,
out on December 4th. It comes with shocking B-side Redirected.
Songwriter/vocalist/guitarist Dan Cummings, and guitarist/vocalist Brandon Bartlett
found themselves at a crossroads, both dealing with life-altering situations completely
independent of each other.
Cummings, a union pipefitter, was suffering from crippling back pain from a career in construction, facing spine surgery and an uncertain future while his family was dealing with a private tragedy; and Bartlett, an Army veteran, confronted his addiction to begin
a long, hard road to sobriety.
Bartlett about 0,5s and 25’s : “I randomly got the idea to write a song and somehow incorporate 0, 5s and 25s into it. I wanted to make 0, 5’s and 25’s work for regular life
in the song, so the 0 is checking yourself, ‘make sure your shit’s straight; 5 is checking your immediate circle; and 25 is being weary of the general populace. I snuck in some other Army terms like ‘toe the line’, ‘stay alert, stay alive’ and ‘place the mission first’ into the lyrics.”
TUTV: The blue collar hardcorers unleash a nuclear missile here. A supersonic rocket that shoot big holes in the ozone layer. 0,5s and 25’s explodes in your face like a grenade (so to speak).
Artillery guitars and bombarding drums threathen to destroy all pieces of shit
who bullshit around on this turbulent planet. Miraculously, the vocalists prevail
in the midst of the maddening mayhem. Think Dropkick Murphys on acid.
A sonic blunami.

ROYAL BLOOD – Blues Rock Fanatics Drop Their 5th LP ‘DEAD COMPANY’
9 November 2026
Band: ROYAL BLOOD
Who: The English blues-rock
fanatics.
Album: DEAD COMPANY
Their 5th.
Press info: “Self-produced, Mike Kerr and Ben Thatcher headed into the studio in 2025
with no deadline and no distractions. The result is raw, direct and stripped back to the essentials, with all the force and immediacy of Royal Blood at full tilt. Written with the
stage in mind, Dead Company is built to hit hard live.”
NME: “The duo floor the accelerator and embark on another collision course of energised and uncompromising riff-rock. Despite threatening to disrupt the evolutionary flow that ‘Typhoons’ instigated, in actuality, ‘Dead Company’ carries the hallmarks of another ground zero moment for Royal Blood.”
TUTV: Royal Blood by numbers. Fired-up riff whoppers in every corner sounding like the fired-up riff whoppers on previous albums. Their blues rock territory isn’t one where risks are taken, nor changes are made. As the cliché goes, a treat for fans only. Next, please.

GUSH – Fiery Irish Indies Blow The Richter Scale To Pieces With New Belter ‘TOLD U SO’
Daily electricity to charge your batteries
9 November 2026
Band: GUSH
Who: Fiery Belfast indies, who dropped their
ear-piercing 5-track debut EP Exposure Therapy
in 2024.
Track: TOLD U SO
Brand new single.
Chelsea (frontwoman): “‘Told U So really brings into focus what we’re all about
sonically, as a band and as musicians. The lyrics are a conversation between my own
self-loathing internal monologue and the more rational side of my mind, which is a pretty relentless ordeal.’
TUTV: Gush hit it out of the park again with this jet jackhammer. After a sparkly
Strokes-esque guitar intro, it’s all hands on deck when the thumping chorus blows
the Richter scale to pieces with wanton willpower. The band’s guitar/bass/drum artillery strikes again, yet fervent frontwoman Chelsea’s vocals somehow cut through the voltaic bedlam.
She’s a fan of legendary voices Shirley Manson and Chrissie Hynde. She told us so. But here it sounds more like Chelsea lets PJ Harvey – another authentic rock heroine – take charge and inject this belter with resolute poignancy.
“Never wanna know
How the story goes
Don’t show your face around here again
By the way it shows
The way your feelings grow
You gotta earn your place around here my friend
You don’t have to look it in the eye
If you don’t chase it it’ll disappear
Never wanna know
Cause I told you so”

TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS Released Self-Titled Debut LP 50 Years Ago Today
Significant longplayers from yesteryear
9 November 2026
The late rock luminary TOM PETTY (1950-2017) and his band THE HEARTBREAKERS
(1967-2017 / 13th LPs) released their eponymous debut album today, 50 years ago,
on 9 November 1976.
All tracks were written by Petty, except ‘Rockin’ Around (With You)’
co-written with their guitarist Mike Campbell.
The album received little attention on its release in the United States.
It climbed to No. 24 on the UK albums chart following a British tour, and
the single ‘Anything That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll‘ became a hit in the UK. After nearly
a year and many positive reviews, the album reached the U.S. charts,
where it peaked at No. 55 in 1978 and eventually went Gold.
AllMusic says: “At the time Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ debut was released
in 1976, they were fresh enough to almost be considered punk. They weren’t as
reckless or visionary as the Ramones, but they shared a similar love for pure ’60s
rock and, for the Heartbreakers, that meant embracing the Byrds as much as the
Stones. And that’s pretty much what this album is, tuneful jangle balanced by
a tough garage swagger.”

SUFJAN STEVENS Optimistic About This Year’s XMAS (Is He Really?)
Reveries for the laziest day of the week
8 November 2026
New York’s singer-songwriter celeb SUFJAN STEVENS
is one of the first artists to sing us a Xmas carol, and he’s
pretty optimistic this year.
With ON THIS CHRISTMAS (IT ONLY GETS BETTER) he
drops a jolly let’s-dance-around the Xmas three tune.
The song appears on his new LP, titled Worst Christmas Ever! (damn, I thought he was optimistic this year) released this Friday. The 16-track album features Xmas songs he wrote over the years, in fact, since 2001.
Stevens: “I love the idea of a Christmas apology. A holiday characterized by the giving and receiving of gifts might be made even better by the giving and receiving of forgiveness. Let’s
try to be better this year: more loving, forgiving, welcoming and reckoning. This song is a prayer, that we can all find a way to yield to the wisdom and understanding of forgiveness. I believe the world will find its way.”
Here we go, family.

MINISTRY – Industrial Rock Tormentators Wave Goodbye With Volcanic Spectacle On Final Album
6 November 2026
Some weeks ago, AL JOURGENSEN, the general of legendary industrial metal tormentors MINISTRY, announced the final stand of the band after a smashing journey since 1981.
Jourgensen: “I’m fucking done. I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’m amazed at the path that it’s taken, from With Sympathy to where we’re at today, and all points in between. It’s been quite a ride, but I’m completely at peace with the fact that it’s done. It’s time to herd goats.”
As pivotal pioneers of the genre, they released 17 studio albums, 8 live releases,
8 side projects, multiple touring campaigns across 5 continents, an autobiography,
2 documentaries, the administration of last rites no less than 3 times.
Their 17th and final full-length, named HATE TO GO (TAKE OUT OR DELIVERY).
is out now. The LP is about Al Jourgensen settling scores and laying everything on
the table with one of the heaviest, angriest records of his long career.
Kerrang‘s verdict: “Packed with spoken-word samples, thrash riffs and Jourgensen
distinctive vocal bark, Hate To Go brandishes Ministry’s classic components in a convincing manner.”
TUTV: With opening shrapnel bomb Crickets, Jourgensen kicks losing moron Trump
and his orange ass-kissing troop of parrots, between the legs, hard, really hard. No
mercy for the corrupt administration and its MAGA cult.
It’s, obviously, very loud and very clear that the legendary metal roughneck wanted Ministry‘s last stand to be an earth-shattering monster that tears all his enemies to
shreds.
Crashing clobber after crashing clobber. Roasting roundhouse after roasting
roundhouse. Of course, AJ’s petrifying howls and evil-burning spit-and-sneer
assualts dominate this volcanic spectacle. I suppose he’ll retire to his favorite
place called hell where he will play cacodemonic video games with his good
pal Satan.
