Peaer are officially back. Back in 2019 the Brooklyn indie rockers released their great album A Healthy Earth, but we didn’t hear from them again until last November when they shared the mathy heater of a single “Just Because.” Now, at last, a new Peaer album is imminent: Doppelgänger arrives in January, and judging by lead single “Button,” it’ll be worth the wait.

Earlier this year, the extremely sick UK metal band Svalbard announced that they’re breaking up after about 15 years as a band. On Instagram, they wrote, “After much reflection, we have decided that 2026 will be the final year of Svalbard.” Right now, they’re about to head out on their final UK tour. Just before it kicks off, they’ve released one final new song, and they’ve given it the auspicious title “If We Could Still Be Saved.”

During last Friday night’s NBA Cup game, the Golden State Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 109-108, and in the process, Steph Curry also tied Michael Jordan’s record of 44 40-point games in the NBA after age 30. I promise there’s a music-related angle to this! During the post-game press conference, someone asked Curry which famous lead singer he’d be if the Warriors were a band. Curry thought about it for a second, saying “it depends on the night,” before landing on his final answer: “I was Hayley Williams in Paramore tonight.”

Last week, Ariana Grande was walking the red carpet at the Singapore premiere of her new movie Wicked: For Good when a man jumped over a barricade, put his arm around her, and jumped up and down. Grande seemed absolutely shocked, and her costar Cynthia Erivo immediately started pulling him off of her before security jumped in. As it turns out, the man in question was Johnson Wen, a 26-year-old Australian influencer who goes by the name Pyjama Man and who has made a habit of this kind of stunt. Now, a Singapore court has sentenced Wen to nine days in jail for the appropriate crime of “public nuisance.”

It’s always fascinating when a global superstar makes a piece of overwhelming, uncompromising art and then has to go out and sell that thing. Right now, Rosalía is in that position. A week and a half ago, Rosalía released her soul-shattering, impossible-to-categorize album LUX. It’s arguably her best. LUX was presumably a very expensive production that required assistance from the London Symphony Orchestra and linguistic coaches and Pharrell Williams and Björk. Now, Rosalía is on a global promo tour, doing everything in her power to make the world aware of this incredible thing that she has created.

Two years ago, KISS’ final farewell tour ended at New York’s Madison Square Garden, but it was understood that they were leaving the door open for one-offs and residencies, in addition to the promised hologram era that begins in 2027. This past March, the band announced unmasked, makeup-free live shows, as part of a three-day event called KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas, and the first went down last night.

On April Fool’s Day, Skrillex surprise-released his album Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol But Ur Not!! <3, which recently earned him Grammy nominations for Best Dance/Electronic Album and Best Dance/Electronic Recording (for “Voltage”). He dropped a new single called “Fuze” with ISOxo last month, and today he’s got another new one. Enticingly, the hyperactive and high-octane “hit me where it hurts” pairs our boy Sonny with longtime collaborator Dylan Brady (also of 100 Gecs fame) and none other than Caroline Polachek, whose vocals from Pang track “Hit Me Where It Hurts” are threaded throughout. Listen below.
