Heart’s Nancy Wilson has released her new video for “Walk Away”, off her first solo album, You And Me.

You and Me was recorded primarily in Wilson’s California home studio. Wilson self-produced the entire project along with assistance from first engineer, Matthew Sabin, and while many of the tracks on the new album are originals, Wilson decided to include her favorite covers, including Pearl Jam’s “Daughter,” Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer” featuring Sammy Hagar, and a cover of the Cranberries “Dreams,” featuring Liv Warfield (Prince) from Wilson’s previous band Roadcase Royale.

Wilson will perform in concert with The Seattle Symphony on Saturday, Oct. 30th, featuring original arrangements of her newest songs from You and Me, as well as hits from Heart.  Tickets will go on sale in mid-July.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne celebrated 39 years of marriage this weekend; married in 1982, their anniversary was on Sunday, July 4th.

Sharon shared two photos from their wedding on social media:  “Thank you for 39 years. For the most incredible life together. The crazy, wonderful and insane times. Yes, pain and sorrow too, but we got through it. We worked so hard for years professionally and personally. We succeed together. You are my soul, my life. What a fantastic life we have lived so far, the best thing is there’s more to come. Every day is an adventure, every day I love you more and respect you more. My soulmate, my love and my friend here’s to our next adventure! Love you always.”  Ozzy wrote: “Happy Anniversary My Love! – July 4, 1982”.

Sharon recently revealed that a biopic about their courtship is in the works. In 2018, Sharon told Variety how the movie “starts the day we meet and will focus on how our lives were totally different but very similar in ways: I was brought up by a powerful, successful father, ­— the late, famously tough Black Sabbath/Small Faces/ELO manager Don Arden — and Ozzy was brought up extremely poor and somewhat abused,” she says of the drama. “It’s definitely going to be a tearjerker. It’s not going to be a sex-and-drugs movie at all. Ozzy is so much more than that. I would hate to be a cliché.”

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ previously unreleased song “105 Degrees” has dropped as a lyric video. The track appears on new album Angel Dream, which is a remake of Petty’s 1996 soundtrack LP for the movie She’s the One.

Petty’s estate said in a statement: “To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of She’s The One, the album has been re-imagined as Angel Dream. The original release of She’s The One included several songs that were written during the Wildflowers period, but were not selected for inclusion on that album. The recent release of Wildflowers and All The Rest included these songs, and therefore they are not duplicated here. In their place, four previously unreleased songs (also written during this period) are added to this album: two Petty original songs (‘105 Degrees’ and ‘One of Life’s Little Mysteries’), a cover of JJ Cale’s ‘Thirteen Days,’ and the Petty- penned instrumental ‘French Disconnection.’  Additionally, the album features an extended version of ‘Supernatural Radio.’ All tracks have been remixed by Ryan Ulyate and remastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Brand new cover art was commissioned to emphasize the album as a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers release, rather than a soundtrack album.”

Check out the lyric video for “105 Degrees” – here.  Angel Dream is available now.

Five Finger Death Punch officially topped the Mediabase Active Rock Chart with their latest single “Darkness Settles In,” marking the band’s 12th all-time #1 on the chart. The track, from their latest chart-topping studio album F8, follows in the footsteps of the album’s three previously released smashes,“Inside Out,” “A Little Bit Off,” and “Living The Dream,” all of which reached the top spot on the same chart. The band is also celebrating the recent Gold certification of “A Little Bit Off” in the U.S.

Last month, the band released the official music video for “Darkness Settles In,” containing an exclusive first look at footage from the upcoming horror-thriller film ‘THE RETALIATORS,’ due out later this year.  The track will be included on the film’s original soundtrack, the band will be seen starring in special cameos in the movie.

Of Mice & Men — comprised of Aaron Pauley (bass + vocals ), Valentino Arteaga (drums), Alan Ashby (guitar), and Phil Manansala (guitar) — have announced an exclusive Twitch partnership, and will be streaming on the service going forward.

Starting in July, the band will stream live on the service multiple days per week. The debut stream debuted on Thursday, July 1. Subsequently, the band will go live  on Twitch every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 11am PT/2pm ET. This gives fans plenty of opportunities to interact directly with the group and to watch them as they write and record new music in real time on the service. In addition to inviting fans into the writing process, the band will engage in Q+As and will discuss past and forthcoming releases.

Phil Manansala said: “We’re so happy to get the opportunity to stream exclusively on  Twitch. Over the last year, I’ve been streaming and got to be a part of an amazing community I had no idea existed but am happy that I discovered. Twitch is the streaming service that cares about each community and gives power to the streamer, and we couldn’t be more excited to be involved.”

OM&M will also be releasing the final EP in its planned trilogy, that will comprise a full album later this year.
