We Are Scientists' Keith Carne is celebrating the release of his debut solo album "Magenta Light" by sharing a Al Markman directed music video for the song "Totally Liminal".
Reybee shared these details: Both a departure and an arrival, Keith Carne's debut solo album Magenta Light (which is independently released today) dissolves the boundaries between the earthly and the cosmic, pairing intimate songwriting with expansive, atmospheric passages. After more than a decade behind the drum kit as a core member of indie-pop mainstays We Are Scientists, Carne steps into a new dimension with the release of Magenta Light. A sweeping, genre-blurring statement of intent, the album finds Carne embracing his role as songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, crafting a world where melancholic pop, spiritual jazz, and propulsive electronic textures collide.

The 45th anniversary of Billy Squier's hit "Don't Say No" album is being celebrated with a Medium Rare episode ofr the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: My guest Billy Squier's 1981 second solo album, Don't Say No, sold over three million copies (!) because of songs "In the Dark", "My Kinda Lover", "Lonely Is the Night", & the big hit " The Stroke". Squier grew up in the Boston suburbs as an only child ("Life isn't easy from the singular side..." Billy sings in the opening to "In the Dark"), the son of an executive of the Converse Shoe Company,the people who make the iconic Chuck Taylor All Stars. So growing up in the Squier household, it's safe to assume that Buddy Holly shared star billing with Bob Cousey, Bill Russell, and John Havlicek of the Boston Celtics. (read more)
Michael ("Smidi") Smith and Scott Krippayne), the duo who wrote the Emmy-nominated Paw Patrol theme song, are gearing up to release their new album, "It's Cool To Be A Kid," under the banner of Pep and Perk on June 12th. To celebrate we asked them to tell us about the album's new single "Rainy Days". Here is the story:
The lyrics for "Rainy Days" were written during the dark and dreary season in the PNW. (Yes, we had plenty of time to work on it.) Inspiration was easy to find... just by looking outside. The music track was one that had been sitting around for a while, and we liked the contrast of a bad weather lyric against an upbeat stomp track. The chorus came together first, just thinking about how to flip a rainy day on its head and make it fun. (continue)

In stark contrast to his work with the cult favorite group, this upcoming record is more than just Klebe's first solo album, it's a one-man operation, written alone and tracked almost entirely without outside help.
To accompany the release, Klebe released the self-made official video for "Eyes Open Wide" from the LP. The gritty, mostly black-and-white clip makes astute use of color to hammer the track's message across: there will always be light at the end of the tunnel. (continue)

And he would always say, if he had to go, Hollywood Forever Cemetery is the place he'd want to be buried." (continue)

Frank Zappa's vaunted Vaulternative Records imprint returns in 2026 after nearly a decade, reigniting the revered archival series in the Zappa catalog. Originally launched in 2002 by Gail Zappa and overseen by Vaultmeister Joe Travers, the direct-to-fan label carved out a space for releases that lived outside the scope of traditional catalog titles, spotlighting rare live recordings, deep cuts, historically significant performances, and the random and obscure, all chosen directly from Zappa's vast archive.
Vaulternative Records went dormant following 2016's Chicago '78, but now reemerges with a refreshed identity and a renewed commitment to presenting the raw, exploratory side of Zappa's work. (continue)
Kenny Wayne Shepherd continues the rollout of his newly recorded Ledbetter Heights (The 30th Anniversary Sessions) with the release of "One Foot on the Path," available now on all streaming platforms.

In this new version, that spirit remains intact, now sharpened by decades of experience, with a more deliberate arrangement and a deeper, more expressive guitar voice guiding the track forward.
