Ballerinas and burglary figure into the video for sombr's new sing 'Potential' -- with some dinosaurs thrown in for good measure.

In the song, sombr mourns a former relationship, singing, "We had potential/ Makes me mental/ Not having you." He also sings the very self-aware line, "It was a difficult breakup/ but I wrote some songs that got me famous."

In the video, sombr, his girlfriend and a pal are a crew of burglars: We see them robbing a convenience store and a jewelry store and generally having a great time. That's intercut with footage of a ballerina and her male partner dancing in the rotunda of a natural history museum, where the bones of a dinosaur are displayed.

Sombr and the girl eventually break into the natural history museum while the friend waits outside. It seems romantic as they walk around looking at the exhibits, until sombr trips an alarm while looking at an artifact and the police catch him and cuff him. As they take him away, he thinks of the girl, and we see the artifact he was looking at: a rock with a male and female figure painted on it, called "The Lovers."

Sombr debuted "Potential" at Coachella last weekend. He'll perform there again on April 18.

We're guessing the members of Edgehill did their own "Doubletake" when they saw their song at the top of the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.

"Doubletake" gives Edgehill the first #1 hit of their career after previously becoming the band's first song to even appear on the Alternative Airplay chart.

"It's just been kinda trippy," frontman Chris Kelly tells ABC Audio of the success of "Doubletake." "The fact that it's playing on the radio in general and it could come on in public places and all that has always been a dream. So it's been really cool."

Kelly adds that "Doubletake" has helped expand Edgehill's audience from its usual college-aged demographic.

"With ['Doubletake'] having success on radio, we have people of all ages at our shows now, which is really cool," Kelly says.

"It's funny, because you can call them out, like, pretty easily," he laughs. "There will be, like, a 65-year-old man at your show, and you're, like, 'Did you find us on the radio?' And they're, like, 'Yeah!' And you're, like, 'That's awesome.'"

As for why listeners have been latching onto "Doubletake," Kelly points to the song's throwback '90s/early 2000s sound, but he also think its structure might be a contributing factor.

"The verse melody, to me, is, like, a little different than what that chorus is usually paired with, if that makes sense," Kelly says. "But I think nostalgia is a big part of it." 

"Doubletake" is featured on Edgehill's new album, Ode to the Greyhouse, out now.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has evidently realized it made a mistake in announcing exactly which members of Oasis will be inducted -- other than the Gallagher brothers, of course.

When the band was first announced as an inductee on April 13, the members listed on the Hall of Fame's website as being inducted included guitarists Gem Arthur and Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Tony McCarroll. Missing were the band's founding bass player, Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan, who was in the band from its founding through 1999, and Alan "Whitey" White, who drummed for them from 1995 through 2004.

But just a few days later, as Rolling Stone flagged, the Hall of Fame website updated the list; McGuigan and White are now both listed as inductees. It remains to be seen which members, if any, actually turn up for the ceremony. Liam Gallagher wrote on X Monday that he and brother Noel Gallagher are "both going we're soooooo proud and humble." Do we detect a hint of sarcasm?

Gallaghers or not, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in LA, and be recorded for a premiere on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is once again talking about the band’s decision to part ways with drummer Josh Freese in 2025.

In a new interview with the Irish Times, Grohl explains that their decision was something that just felt right for the band.

“A drummer’s playing is based on feel,” Grohl says. “That’s all drumming is: feel. It’s hard to define when you’re playing with someone and it feels ‘right,' or when you’re playing with someone who feels ‘really good,’ and then you’re playing with someone and it feels ‘f****** amazing.'"

He adds, “It’s personality, it’s your connection, your rhythm that you have together. It’s just a combination, or a recipe – when you’re cooking something and it says, ‘salt and pepper to taste’ at the end of the recipe; that’s defined by you.”

Grohl then mentions British chef Marco Pierre White, who he calls a hero, noting that the chef is always talking about how things “feel” when cooking.

Grohl notes, “So he knows – and f***, man, if he knows, then it must be good. So we know what feels best for our band.”

Grohl also touched upon the political discord in America, saying, “It’s hard not to feel political living in America, where we’re deeply divided. And there’s injustice, and there’s so much hate and fear, and it’s such a drag.”

“I try to love everyone, because I think that’s what you’re supposed to do – and I do," he says. "But there needs to be change in that direction, and it’s been hard to find in the States.”

Foo Fighters' new album, Your Favorite Toy, their first with drummer Ilan Rubin, drops April 24.

Billy Corgan wants folks to know that he is not a fan of artificial intelligence.

In a recent interview with the And The Writer Is... podcast, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman didn't hold back when sharing his thoughts about using AI to make music.

“You didn't ask me, but I'm gonna make a declaratory statement. I refuse, refuse, patently refuse to use AI in my music creation,” Corgan says. “Because, to me, it's a deal with the devil. Simple.”

“Whether it's the Promethean fire myth or whatever, to me you're literally leaning into the thing that will destroy you. Period," he adds. "So that's why I'm not gonna mess with it, because the pressure, the inspiration, the soul searching, the 'I'm not sure I got anything else to say,' that's all part of the journey that a songwriter needs to go to.”

Corgan goes on to say that by embracing AI, folks are "flirting with the thing that will destroy us as an economy, as a business, as a movement.”

“We're asking to be eradicated,” he adds. “But I'm saying, on a spiritual level to lean into it is to ask to be wiped out. You're asking to be wiped out."

Lana Del Rey has a license to sing, and she's using it for the title theme of the new James Bond video game 007 First Light.

The game features a reimagined "origin story" for the iconic super spy, with a young James Bond just starting out in his career in espionage. Del Rey and longtime Bond composer David Arnold have co-written the song, "First Light," which is out now. It mixes Del Rey's signature vocals with those famous James Bond-sounding horn stabs and strings.

“The Bond theme is a unique storytelling moment; it has to capture scale, drama, and intrigue all at once," says Arnold, who scored the Bond films Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. 

He adds, "Lana brought an elegance and atmosphere to the song that felt perfectly suited to continuing that tradition while introducing something fresh for a new era.” 

The video game's title sequence will debut Friday at 10 a.m. PT on the 007 First Light channels on Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, Steam and X. The game itself is now available for preorder on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, and Amazon.com.

I said maybe ... that Oasis reunion was the best thing that ever happened to Noel and Liam Gallagher.

Just days after earning induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the band's Oasis Live '25 Tour was named major tour of the year at the Pollstar Awards on Wednesday. The honors are handed out by Pollstar, the publication that covers the concert industry, and voted on solely by members of the industry.

The highly anticipated reunion tour earned over $405 million and drew more than two million fans, making it the second-biggest tour of 2025, second only to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour.

Meanwhile, Metallica's M72 World Tour was named rock tour of the year, while the Eagles' stand at Sphere Las Vegas was named residency of the year. Sphere was named U.S. arena of the year, while another Vegas venue, Allegiant Stadium, was named U.S. stadium of the year.

The Glastonbury Festival in the U.K. was named international music festival of the year; U.S. festivals honored included the Eddie Vedder-curated Ohana Festival in Dana Point, California, and the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

Rally 'round the family, Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire is now 30 years old.

The rap-metal outfit's sophomore album was released on April 16, 1996. Arriving four years after the band's self-titled debut dropped in 1992, which introduced the world to their heavy, politically conscious fury with songs like "Killing in the Name," Evil Empire brought Rage to an even larger audience, debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200.

Lead single "Bulls on Parade" encapsulated many of Rage's most recognizable elements: Zack de la Rocha's lyrics about the hypocrisy of those who "rally 'round the family, with a pocket full of shells"; Tom Morello's catchy opening riff and scratchy, turntable-esque guitar solo; and Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk's crushing rhythm section.

Along with the Grammy-nominated "Bulls on Parade," Evil Empire includes the Grammy-winning "Tire Me" and the single "People of the Sun." The album is certified triple-Platinum by the RIAA.

Leading up to the Evil Empire anniversary, Morello has been sharing some memories from the era, including when Rage performed on Saturday Night Live for the first, and only, time. 

"There was a fight onstage between our crew and SNL stage hands moments before our performance, wrestling over some upside down American flags which adorned our amps," Morello recalls. "Timmy C then attacked host/[billionaire]/presidential candidate Steve Forbes' family in the dressing room with a wadded up flag. Secret Service flooded the hallways. SNL cut (censored?) our second song and kicked us out onto the sidewalk."

Rage followed Evil Empire with one more original album, 1999's The Battle of Los Angeles, before breaking up in 2000. They reunited from 2007 to 2011, and then again from 2019 to 2024.

Primus frontman Les Claypool has announced a new live EP with his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade.

The four-track set is titled Return of the Live Frogs: Volume 1 and is due out May 22.

"Featuring four extended performances - each stretching between seven and twelve minutes - the release offers a raw, immersive snapshot of a group that has always thrived in the moment, where structure gives way to exploration and no two performances land quite the same way twice," a press release says.

The Fearless Flying Frog Brigade will launch a tour alongside Primus and another Claypool band, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, May 20 in Reno, Nevada.

Jack White made a new friend at Coachella: Timothée Chalamet.

The "Seven Nation Army" rocker posted a photo of himself hanging backstage at the festival alongside the Dune actor on Instagram.

"You can't be mad when a young Bob Dylan time travels to come see your set," White writes in the caption, referring to Chalamet's Oscar-nominated performance as the folk icon in 2024's A Complete Unknown.

"So nice hanging out with Mr. Chalamet in the desert, who did such an amazing job in A Complete Unknown," White adds.

Perhaps White and Chalamet swapped stories about playing music legends in movies — White, of course, portrayed Elvis Presley in the 2007 film Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

White was a last-minute addition to the Coachella weekend one lineup. While there, he also hung with Muse's Matt Bellamy and The Strokes' Albert Hammond Jr. and Cameron Winter of Geese.

White will launch a U.S. headlining tour in July.

HIM frontman Ville Valo is open to getting the "Wings of a Butterfly" outfit back together.

The Finnish rockers broke up after a final show on New Year's Eve 2017 in their home country, but Valo tells Metal Hammer he "would love to play with the lads again someday."

"I miss those fellows. They are my brothers," Valo says. "But there's also beauty in the fact we didn't strangle each other at the end, or start travelling in separate limos. So there is that to be said. I felt it was the right way to bury the corpse. HIM was and is my life. It was very hard to let go of that."

Valo says he hasn't "really been in touch with [his former bandmates] much," but noted that they were "still good friends" when HIM ended.

"We'd just grown apart," Valo says.

Valo has since launched a solo project called VV. The debut VV album, Neon Noir, was released in 2023.

Noah Kahan has made the 2026 TIME100 list of the world's most influential people.

The "Stick Season" singer is included in the Artists category of the list and is honored with an essay written by Mumford & Sons frontman Marcus Mumford.

"Musically, he brings us closer to our humanity in the same way some of the great '60s folk songwriters did: pairing lyrics set in a particular space and time with traditionally infused pop melodies like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell at their best," Mumford writes. "Noah paints scenes of his own experience that resonate broadly. We can access the universality of our feelings through the individuality of his storytelling."

Mumford adds, "Noah is not the most glamorous person in the room. He’s the most honest. And that’s why so many of us have connected with him as an artist."

The 2026 TIME100 will be celebrated at the TIME100 Summit and TIME100 Gala events, taking place April 22 and April 23, respectively, in New York City. The red carpet for the TIME100 Gala will stream live via TIME's YouTube channel and social media.

Kahan, meanwhile, will release a new album, The Great Divide, on April 24. He'll perform on Saturday Night Live on May 9 and will launch a U.S. tour in June.

Nine Inch Noize will perform again at Coachella's second weekend on Saturday, but as Reznor cautions, "There's no surprise tour announcement – this Saturday is it."

"I'm taking Sunday off and excited to be working on new Nine Inch Nails music Monday," Reznor says. "I'll see you when I come up for air."

Never mind the bollocks, here's a way to sound like the Sex Pistols.

The company Marshall has announced a new limited-edition JCM800 Half Stack amp inspired by the "Anarchy in the U.K." outfit, described as a "bold tribute to the sound, attitude and cultural impact of one of music's most disruptive bands."

"The JCM800 became a defining voice of British punk," says Marshall culture marketing director Steph Carter in a statement. "Working with [Pistols guitarist] Steve [Jones] to reimagine this amp for the band's 50th anniversary has been a powerful tribute to the sound that changed everything."

"I've been using Marshall for a long time now and the 800 series for me are my workhorse — always reliable, always consistent," adds Jones. "I like to keep things simple, as the sayin' goes. It's only rock 'n' roll."

The amp will go on sale Friday. Visit Marshall.com for more info.

The Sex Pistols reformed in 2024 with original members Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock alongside vocalist Frank Carter in place of frontman John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon. They'll launch a U.S. tour in 2026, which was rescheduled from 2025 after Jones broke his wrist.

Peter Hook has shared his reaction to Joy Division and New Order being chosen for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. 

The two bands are being inducted together — Joy Division members Hook, Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris formed New Order alongside Gillian Gilbert following the death of Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis in 1980.

"I am so happy about being accepted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame you would not believe it!" Hook says in a statement. "It's such a compliment to all the fans of Joy Division and New Order and now it's been confirmed. My thanks to Ian Curtis, [manager] Rob Gretton and [TV persenter] Tony Wilson - your inspiration and hard work has meant everything to me."

He adds, "I will be delighted to be inducted and am looking forward to the night so much! See you there."

Hook also posted a video of him reacting to the news while wearing a T-shirt of fellow inductees Oasis.

Notably, Hook's relationship with New Order has been frosty since leaving the band in 2007, which has led to legal action between the two parties.

Speaking with ABC Audio in 2025, Hook said that his relationship with his former bandmates remained "so bad" and "cutthroat."

For their part, New Order has acknowledged the Rock Hall news with a simple graphic on social media, but has not commented further.

The 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles. It will air on ABC and stream on Disney+ in December.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
