Jimmy Eat World to launch summer North American tour

Arizona alt-rock band Jimmy Eat World will kick off the celebration for the 25th anniversary of their album Bleed American with a tour that starts in June in Denver. 

The trek marks the band's return to the Vans Warped Tour stage, in all five cities, after a 25-year absence. 

As members prepare for tour, they are approaching songs from the album with a perspective they lacked in the blur of 2001: intentional gratitude. For drummer Zach Lind, this tour feels like a second chance to show appreciation to the fans who provided their livelihood for the past 25 years. 

Lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins echoes this sentiment: “I feel like at this time in our lives, especially for me, it’s important to get back to a place that you can savor. This tour is designed to be an elevated version of our show, a heightened experience with production that reflects 25 years of learning how to stretch artistically in the live environment.” Fans can expect to hear the entirety of Bleed American, along with others. 

Along the tour, Jimmy Eat World will be joined by very special guests on select dates.

Originally released July 24, 2001 via DreamWorks Records, Bleed American has been certified platinum in the U.S. and gold in the U.K., with the single “The Middle” recently joining the Spotify Billion Streams Club. 

Adkins says: “When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves. There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio, and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”

For the North America dates, general on sale tickets are available Friday, February 13 at 10 a.m. local time.

The band’s most recent release is last year's Something(s) Loud EP.

Soundtrack to Paul McCartney & Wings documentary 'Man on the Run' arrives Feb. 27

Ahead of the release of Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the new documentary by Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Award-winning director Morgan Neville, exploring Paul McCartney’s career after The Beatles’ breakup, Capitol Records, MPL Communications and UMG have announced details of a companion album titled, Man on the Run - Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack.

The album includes hits and various tracks from across Paul McCartney and Wings’ catalog. “Arrow Through Me (Rough Mix),” a previously unreleased rough mix from the 1979 album sessions for Back to the Egg, and “Live And Let Die (Rockshow),” from the 1980 concert film Rockshow, can both be heard exclusively via Amazon Music here, ahead of release. The album will feature a third previously unreleased track in “Gotta Sing Gotta Dance,” originally featured in the 1973 The James Paul McCartney TV Special.

Both the soundtrack album and documentary will be released on February 27, with Man on the Run - Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack arriving in a variety of formats, including a limited edition New York Taxi Yellow Vinyl LP by Jack White's Third Man Pressing plant (pre-order here), a limited edition Tangerine Peel Orange Vinyl LP Amazon Exclusive, and Black Vinyl LP, through to a 1CD edition and digital release. Each vinyl edition will also come with a Man on the Run poster.

The artwork had creative direction by Paul McCartney and Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell of Hipgnosis - the iconic design studio that worked with Paul for eight Wings albums, including Band on the Run, Venus and Mars, Wings Over America, Wings Greatest, and the 2025 anthology, WINGS. The artwork was designed by Peter Curzon of Storm Studios.

Fans can shop the Amazon exclusive soundtrack vinyl here today and find more merch on Paul McCartney’s official store on Amazon.com and in the Amazon Music app.

Speaking about his approach to the film and soundtrack, director Morgan Neville said:

“When people talk about the biggest acts of the 1970s, the list rarely includes Paul McCartney. Not because he wasn’t big - he was undeniably one of the biggest acts of the decade - but because of what he’d already done. Paul had been in the biggest band in the world, which in turn had created itself its own gravitational force.

In my film, Man on the Run, I wanted to look at Paul’s impossible run from that long shadow of The Beatles.

It was a journey full of unlikely choices - a van tour! Bruce McMouse! Nigeria! Thrillington! A Scottish anthem! - but looked at together, the madness of those choices actually started to seem sane. How else could one deal with the weight of such expectations than by doing the unexpected?

I also saw that throughout the decade, Paul stopped running away from something and started running towards something else - his own voice, his own family, his own life. This was a story of somebody finding themselves.

This soundtrack is a snapshot of that journey told through his music. Each of these songs is a result of some creative impulse of who Paul was at that moment in time. It was through song that Paul spoke, not only to the world, but to himself. We’re lucky enough to be able to listen along.”

Paul McCartney: Man on the Run will be available on Prime Video from February 27. The film will also be released in cinemas for one night only by Trafalgar Releasing on February 19. Tickets to see the film first, in select cinemas worldwide, are available at manontherun.film.  Each theatrical screening also includes a bonus conversation between Paul McCartney and director Morgan Neville, exclusive to cinemas.

The Black Keys news

The Black Keys' new single “You Got To Lose” is the first from their upcoming album Peaches! set for release on May 1 via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records. 

The music video, directed by E.J. McLeavey-Fisher, centers around the band playing a surprise show at the legendary Memphis juke joint, Hernando’s Hide-A-Way, last month.

Listen to/Watch “You Got to Lose” here. Pre-order/save Peaches! here.

Peaches!, the band’s fourteenth studio album, was described by singer Dan Auerbach as the band’s “most natural record” since their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up. The project was born in the wake of Auerbach’s late father’s diagnosis of esophageal cancer, as he was staying in Dan’s Nashville home, in rapid decline. Patrick Carney, Dan’s Black Keys bandmate and oldest, closest friend, knew without asking “that it would be good for Dan to have something to do.” That something, of course, was to head into the studio and crank up the amps.

“We weren’t making a record. We were just jamming, like this is for us,” Dan Auerbach says. “Really primal, in a moment when all the nerves were raw, just kinda screaming. We were going through a lot, trying to lift our spirits. I think my dad getting sick made me not give a fuck and just wanna scream for a bit.”

In similar DIY spirit to their debut, the album was recorded with all musicians playing in the same room with very few overdubs, and is the first album mixed entirely by the band themselves since 2006’s Magic Potion.

“Everything was all cut live in one with no separation, including vocals,” adds Patrick Carney. “It was a nightmare to mix but we got it sounding raw and filthy.”

The songs on Peaches! reflect Dan and Patrick’s obsessive record-collecting habit, which in recent years has escalated into an ongoing series of Record Hang DJ-set dance parties. These hangs fueled a deeper period of musical archaeology for both of them. “I’d look for 45s specifically to play at the record hangs,” Dan says, “but sometimes I’d find a song and think, ‘This might be fun for Pat and me to play live.’”

Peaches! cover art is illustrated with an image by the iconic Memphis-born photographer William Eggleston, a hero of the band’s, and see’s Patrick’s brother, Michael Carney, designing and art-directing the package as he did similarly with early Black Keys albums, notably winning a GRAMMY award for the Brothers cover. Peaches! will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally — pre-order/save here.

Out now: 'Sunday Best,' the new album from Nick Jonas

'Sunday Best,' the first solo album in nearly five years by Nick Jonas, is out today via Republic Records—listen HERE. The official music video for single “Gut Punch” can be viewed HERE. It was directed by filmmaker Anthony Mandler.

On the song’s inspiration, Nick shares, “I tend to be hyper critical of myself, not typically about my appearance or getting older, but I was wondering, ‘Am I doing everything to be the best version of myself? Am I a present and thoughtful husband? Am I a good father?’ As time goes by, the stress and complications of life will weigh on you. It’s important to remember there was once a version of you who was carefree and loved the world.”

Nick first debuted “Gut Punch” live last November while on tour in Las Vegas, introducing the song to fans at select stops in the weeks that followed, including a special performance during the Jonas Brothers’ Samsung TV Plus New Year’s Eve celebration. 

Earlier this week, Jonas performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (watch HERE), and followed that with an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers (watch HERE). The singer also did a show at NYC's Irving Plaza and hits the Blue Note in LA on Saturday. . 

“I’m so excited to share these new stories, candid thoughts, quiet walks home in the city, and snapshots of my life over these past few years. And while this album was made over the course of the last two years, it was truly 33 years in the making.” 

– Nick Jonas on Sunday Best

“I Need You”

Classic Van Halen album '5150' to get deluxe treatment for 40th Anniversary

Rhino will release Van Halen's '5150 (Expanded Edition)' on March 27, just days after the album’s 40th anniversary. The LP/3CD/Blu-ray collection includes the 1986 album remastered directly from the original master tapes, overseen by the band’s longtime engineer Donn Landee. Additionally, an Amazon-exclusive green vinyl version will be available the same day.

It arrives days after the original album's 40th anniversary. '5150' was the first album featuring the lineup of Sammy Hagar, Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, and Michael Anthony and marked the band’s first #1 album with hits like “Why Can’t This Be Love,” “Dreams,” and “Best Of Both Worlds,” continuing their streak of multi-platinum releases.

The expanded reissue introduces more than 90 minutes of previously unreleased live recordings from the band’s August 27, 1986 concert at New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut. These are joined by a selection of rare 7” single edits and extended 12” versions. The Blu-ray includes a new high-definition upgrade of Live Without a Net, Van Halen’s double-Platinum 1986 concert video that was also recorded that same August night in New Haven, along with promotional videos for “Dreams” and “Why Can’t This Be Love.” Pre-order HERE.

Standalone versions of 5150 featuring the remastered album and rarities will also be available the same day as a 2CD set or a 2LP on black vinyl. Ahead of the release, the live version of “Summer Nights” from the New Haven show is available now digitally, along with the HD remastered video. Listen HERE.

Van Halen recorded 5150 at Eddie’s 5150 Studios in California beginning in late 1985. Released on March 24, 1986, the album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, becoming the band’s first #1 release. It quickly became one of the best-selling albums of Van Halen’s career, earning 6x Platinum certification in the U.S., and was followed by the extensive and highly successful 5150 Tour. On stage, the new lineup focused on new material like “Love Walks In,” “Best Of Both Worlds,” and “Get Up,” while still delivering early VH favorites like “Panama” and “Ain’t Talkin’ ’Bout Love.”

Bruce Hornsby album, tour slated for spring

Bruce Hornsby has unveiled the title track and first single from his forthcoming album, Indigo Park, arriving April 3 on Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers. Produced by Tony Berg, Will Maclellan and Bruce Hornsby, Indigo Park finds the artist backed by his longtime band, The Noisemakers, as well as guitarist Blake Mills, bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Chris Dave.

It also features collaborations with Bob Weir, Bonnie Raitt, Ezra Koenig and Robert Hunter. Listen to "Indigo Park" and watch the video: HERE

With the exception of two songs co-written with late Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter ("Alabama" and "Might As Well Be Me, Florinda"), Indigo Park finds Hornsby singing more in the first-person than he ever has. In the title track, the first song he wrote for the album, Hornsby looks back on a 10th grade party at the Indigo Park Pool in Williamsburg, Virginia, when a "great big entrance" went awry. 

Bruce Hornsby says, "It's just an old bastard, looking back. To be honest, I've found a way, a path to grow old gracefully, with help from some newborn friends of mine."

The creation of Indigo Park began in 2024, as Bruce Hornsby was turning 70. After releasing a streak of four albums in five years – Absolute Zero (2019), Non-Secure Connection (2020), 'Flicted (2022) and Deep Sea Vents (2024) – he was burnt out and tried his best to stop writing for a bit. That plan did not last. 

In addition to Indigo Park, 2026 brings the 40th anniversary of The Way It Is, both the album and its #1 single. 

Alongside The Noisemakers, Bruce Hornsby will perform music from Indigo Park and his past four decades on a headline tour of two dozen shows across the US this spring and summer. Find the list of dates below, and tickets at brucehornsby.com/#tour.
