Falling In Reverse have shared their cover of PAPA ROACH’s “Last Resort.” Frontman Ronnie Radke says: “I wanted to reimagine one of the biggest rock songs of the last 20 years, because lyrically, it is so powerful and resonates. I got the blessing from [Papa Roach singer] Jacoby [Shaddix] and I think that Papa Roach are one of the nicest, humble, and most down-to-earth bands to date and it inspires me to keep going, since they have been so successful for so many years. This is me paying homage in the best way I know how.”

The band just kicked-off The Popular Monstour, with special guests Ice Nine Kills. Special guests on select dates include Underoath, Slaughter To Prevail, Crown The Empire, and Catch Your Breath.

After releasing rock versions of her previous hits such as “Cool for the Summer” and “Heart Attack,” Demi Lovato has shared their first new song since her album Holy Fvck.

The new single “Swine” was released just as the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade occurred. Demi wrote in an Instagram caption: “It’s been one year since the Supreme Court’s decision to dismantle the constitutional right to a safe abortion. Although the path forward will be challenging, we must continue to be united in our fight for reproductive justice.”

Demi also shared the video for “Swine,”directed by Meriel O’Connell-helmed music video. Says Demi: “I created ‘Swine’ to amplify the voices of those who advocate for choice and bodily autonomy. I want this song to empower not only the birthing people of this country, but everyone who stands up for equality, to embrace their agency and fight for a world where every person’s right to make decisions about their own body is honored.” For a period of one year, Lovato’s net profits from “Swine” will be donated to the Reproductive Justice Fund at the Demi Lovato Foundation, which will then be directed to three non-profit organizations: NARAL Pro-Choice America, Plan C and The National Network of Abortion Funds.
