LUNACHICKS finally get their first proper best-of with “We Can Be Worster”, a 13-track blast of punk, metal, trashy glamour and New York attitude. It is loud, funny, abrasive and gloriously wrong in all the right places.

Formed as teenagers at New York’s LaGuardia High School, LUNACHICKS came up through the same downtown ecosystem that fed bands into CBGB, The Limelight and the wider alternative underground. Their sound was never cleanly punk or metal; it carried bits of RAMONES velocity, BLACK SABBATH weight, KISS theatricality, BLONDIE cool and enough sarcasm to keep the whole thing dangerous.

“We Can Be Worster” works like a guided tour through that mess.

“Drop Dead” and “Less Teeth More Tits” hit first with exactly t

Some time ago we featured the reissued music of Staten Island ’80s melodic hard band N.Y. Fury, a very good outfit that deserved better luck back in the day. Now 2026, ex- members of N.Y. Fury commanded by bass player Gene Hunter are back with renewed energy and their new band CARNIVAL OF THE LOST SOULS, previously known as CARNIVAL SOULS as well.

We are presenting in exclusive on here CARNIVAL OF THE LOST SOULS‘ new CD titled “In The Shadows“, sold exclusively in America by Eonian Records, and Schmankerl Records in Europe.
CARNIVAL OF THE LOST SOULS is a very, very unique band. Musically they take the best from the Eighties & Nineties melodic hard rock, however sonically “In The Shadows” take things to a

Rock legends EUROPE stunned attendees at Sweden Rock Festival past June 3, 2026 with an unannounced appearance on the Blåkläder Stage. Listed only as “?” on the festival schedule, the mystery slot had fueled speculation among fans for days.

Europe had also been teasing a major announcement across their social media channels, and when the band finally took the stage, they delivered one of the most memorable moments of the festival’s opening day.
The surprise performance served as the perfect launchpad for the band’s new album, ‘Come This Madness’, as the band performed 2 tracks from the album live for the first time!
For a band with such deep roots in Swedish rock history, the

CHARADE’s “UnEarthed” is one of those obscure mid-’90s hard rock releases that feels like it slipped through the cracks while the musical world was busy looking elsewhere. Issued in 1996 through Mad And Jes Publishing, the five-track CD keeps things lean and direct: chunky guitars, straight-ahead rhythms and that stubborn old-school hard rock attitude refusing to die quietly.

There is no sprawling concept here, just a compact shot of guitar-driven rock. “RGT” opens the door, the title track follows with a more identifiable hook, while “Nothings Changed”, “Steamroller” and “Last Call” round out a short but curious little release that should appeal to collectors digging through the deeper shelves of ’90s hard rock.

This one is truly special: GIANT live in 2026, captured only a few weeks ago during the band’s exclusive two-night run in Nashville.

GIANT made an impressive return last year with a strong new studio album, although longtime frontman and guitarist Dann Huff wasn’t involved in the sessions. At the time, Dann was focused on his own solo project, which turned out to be every bit as exciting in its own right.

But the story didn’t end there.

With fans continuing to ask for a proper GIANT reunion on stage, drummer David Huff and bassist Mike Brignardello approached Dann about getting the band together for a handful of live dates. Eventually, those plans became two very special concerts at 3rd & Lindsley Bar &#03
