The Greta Van Fleet plot thickens.
As previously reported, the "Highway Tune" rockers posted a video earlier in the week titled "Thanks for the Wild Ride," which featured throwback footage from throughout the band's career. Given the title and reflective nature of the video, some fans were worried that GVF was calling it quits, though others thought it could be an elaborate tease for new music to follow their most recent album, 2023's Starcatcher.
Now, there's a new hint posted in the form of a video on Greta's Instagram Story, featuring a shot of guitarist Jake Kiszka opening a case and strumming an acoustic guitar. The clip is subtitled, "The trouble's begun."

L7 was originally active from 1985 to 2001. They put out six studio albums during their original run, including 1992's Bricks Are Heavy.
In 2014, the lineup of vocalist Donita Sparks, guitarist Suzi Gardner, bassist Jennifer Finch and drummer Demetra Plakas reunited, and they put out another album, Scatter the Rats, in 2019. They also released a documentary called L7: Pretend We're Dead.
"When L7 decided to release a documentary in 2015, we thought maybe we would take one last victory lap around the sun by playing some shows," Sparks says in a statement. "Instead, that lap turned into eleven more years of touring, sweat, new music, and reconnecting with the fans who made this all possible in the first place."
She continues, "Looking out into the crowd seeing longtime supporters rocking out next to a new generation of L7 fans has been the most powerful and humbling part of this chapter. We are deeply grateful and ready to give our audiences one last, loud, fun, and hopefully unforgettable night of rock & roll."

'Romanticize the Dive' album artwork. (Metric Music International/Thirty Tigers)
Metric's new album, Romanticize the Dive, is out now. It marks the Canadian band's milestone 10th studio effort, which led frontwoman Emily Haines down a reflective path.
"It's really just, like, us looking at us, and our incredible good fortune to come up when we did, and just kinda the comedy that we've been living through ... albeit dark comedy," Haines tells ABC Audio of the record. "But to be a band together, four friends, for 25 years and just keeping on in our scrappy a** way, it's a celebration of that, for sure."
Indeed, the same four-piece lineup has recorded every one of Metric's 10 albums: Haines, guitarist Jimmy Shaw, drummer Joules Scott-Key and bassist Joshua Winstead. On the Romanticize the Dive song "Loyal," Haines uses a chariot as a metaphor for the connection between the band members.
"The chariot cannot be reduced to its individual parts," Haines says. "It is only itself when it's all assembled. A wheel is not a chariot."
Romanticize the Dive ends with a song called "Leave You on a High," which certainly makes for a fitting closing message for an album and, if the case may be, for a band.
"We don't know if we'll make another record, right?" Haines says. "If this was the last statement ... let's make this something that would feel like it encapsulates what we tried to do, and I feel really happy that we achieved that."
She adds, "Regardless of what happens from here, but just sonically and the writing, I'm really happy with it."
Metric will launch a U.S. tour alongside fellow Canadian bands Broken Social Scene and Stars in June.

The Afterparty, the follow-up to 2022's EYEYE, is due out Friday. It also includes the previously released songs "Lucky Again," "Sick of Love" and "Knife in the Heart."

Billie Eilish may change her mind when she gets older, but for right now, she says she has no plans on getting work done on her face in the future.
While appearing on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast, Billie, 24, talked about still being seen as a "young wonder," even though she's not a teenager anymore. She admitted that she once thought that she'd be the same person she was at 17 forever, but now realizes, "It's just not how it works." That being said, Billie claimed, "I am so excited to age and I'm so excited for my face to age and my body to age and not change it, you know?"
"And I want my kids to look at me and have my face look like their face and not be some botched version of whatever the f*** is going on out there right now, you know what I'm saying?" she added.
That's not to say that Billie is anti-plastic surgery. In 2021, she told the U.K. paper The Guardian, "It’s completely fine to get work done – do this, do that, do what makes you feel happy. It’s just when you deny it and say, ‘Oh, I got this all on my own, and if you just tried harder, you could get it.’ That makes me literally furious. It is so bad for young women – and boys, too – to see that.”
Billie's new concert film Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) arrives in theaters on Friday.

The pressure to follow up a career-making hit can be enormous, and at one point Noah Kahan thought it might be easier to simply change careers rather than try to match the success of Stick Season.
That's according to Noah's new Rolling Stone cover story, in which he says that after touring Stick Season in 2024, "I was just sick of it.” He adds that, faced with the prospect of making his next album, all he could think was, "This thing that’s supposed to be so fun and so rewarding is becoming tiring and making you anxious all the time.”
According to Rolling Stone, Noah began thinking about getting a new job. He got fingerprinted with the intention of becoming a substitute teacher, and also considered enrolling in psychology classes at his local college or even becoming a groundskeeper at a golf course. "I thought that would be such a therapeutic thing,” he explains.
There was some light at the end of the tunnel at the end of 2024, when he first connected with The National member and producer Aaron Dessner at Dessner's Long Pond Studios. But another setback came in March 2025, when he took a trip to Joshua Tree, California, and ended up having what he calls an "OCD meltdown," which manifested in him suffering from disturbing intrusive thoughts.
After that, Noah went back on medication and finally, he felt creative again. His new #1 album, The Great Divide, was the result.
"You find out who you are in the moments when you’re alone,” he says. "I needed to be brought back down to earth, and I think the process, as hard as it was, really did bring me back.”
