ALL WITHIN MY HANDS PARTNERS WITH CNH TO CELEBRATE LABOR DAY WITH  AUCTION OF FINAL HETFIELD LIMITED EDITION CASE COMPACT TRACK LOADER 

All Funds Raised to Support Skilled Trade Education Programs Through the  Metallica Scholars Initiative

Metallica’s Foundation, All Within My Hands, is  partnering with CASE Construction Equipment, a brand of CNH, the world-class  agriculture and construction equipment and services company, to celebrate Labor Day in support of skilled trade education programs. This Labor Day weekend, edition 1 of 25 handmade “Hetskid” – The James Hetfield-inspired CASE skid steer – will be  available for bidding via the Purple Wave auction site. 

“These are the kinds of relationships we love. Since day one, the team at CNH has  embraced the work All Within My Hands is doing across the board. From direct financial support to the Metallica Scholars Initiative, where we provide funding for trade education, to volunteering with us at food banks along Metallica’s M72  World Tour, and now this incredible machine that I dare anyone to actually use in  the dirt!” – Renee Richardson, Director of Philanthropy, AWMH 

Built at the CASE production facility in Wichita, USA, the TV450B compact track loader is an industry fixture. Tough and rugged, it performs tasks such as digging, loading, and dumping in commercial and residential construction activities as well  as landscaping. This custom-designed CASE TV450B compact track loader is the first off the line and is the same as the one destined for use at the ranch of Metallica frontman and co-founder James Hetfield. Hetfield commissioned the design as part of an equipment supply agreement with the CASE brand in 2024. For collectors or dirt movers alike, this auction is a chance to own CASE and Metallica history. 

Purple Wave Auction, the leading online, no-reserve equipment auction platform, is hosting the auction, which runs through December 17, and 100% of the final sale price goes directly to All Within My Hands and its Metallica Scholars Initiative. Purple Wave is also donating the 10% buyer’s premium so that every dollar goes to the cause. Register for free, search “Hetskid” and start bidding today at purplewave.com.

ITALIAN COMPOSER DANIELE LUPPI ANNOUNCES

WILMA, AN HOMAGE TO THE LOST SOUNDS OF 1970s ITALIAN CINEMA
OUT OCTOBER 9

FIRST STUNNING SINGLE “TO SOME DEGREE” ft. MICHAEL KIWANUKA
OUT NOW

Acclaimed Italian composer Daniele Luppi’s love for – and devotion to – vintage Italian films and their music scores comes to life on his new album Wilma, a golden-hued collection of compositions with vocal contributions from the incomparable Mercury Prize-winning Michael Kiwanuka and critics’ darling Orion Sun. Enrobed in a warm analog production and embellished by Luppi’s contemporary instrumentation, subtle effects and blending, Wilma combines timeless arrangements with modern flourishes, ultimately creating a transportive cinematic soundscape.

Wilma will be released on October 9 via Verve/slowplay and is available for pre-order now at https://danieleluppi.lnk.to/Wilma.

It was like a dream come true when a synchronistic opportunity dropped into Luppi’s lap: unprecedented access to a vintage library of thousands of already-recorded compositions originally put together by some of Italy’s top session players of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s — the Italian equivalent of The Wrecking Crew. Daniele had a brilliant revelation: What if he could find some forgotten, unpolished jewels in this vast repository of largely never-used music score goodness, then supply embellishments, editing them all together, mixing them into timeless songs that could speak to all eras?

In this case, for Wilma – the first volume of what will be Luppi’s unique, experimental trilogy – there are cues and tracks culled from a myriad assortment of 1970s scores from obscure Italian feature films, commercials, short subjects, documentaries and industrial films, a few of which were partially utilized at the time and many more rescued from cold storage, where they’d awaited the right simpatico fit with some filmmaker’s project or marketing director’s TV commercial.

Daniele explains, “As far as my role? The closest I can relate to is a film documentarian. There are many parallels as I was working with existing footage which are the vintage  tracks. And I am adding new faces, which are my singers, plus writing a script which are  my lyrics. Then I do some editing and ‘color correction,’ which is the audio work I’ve done, the synths (for the gearheads: exclusively a 1984 Yamaha DX7 with stock  presets) and live drums overdub I played, then the mixing (done only with a Lexicon  PCM70) etc. The difference, though, is – unlike a documentarian – I created a totally  new original story with the found material.”

The announcement of Wilma is accompanied by the release of the yearning spaghetti western inspired track, “To Some Degree ft. Michael Kiwanuka.” The inviting slow burn is Kiwanuka at his best, delivering lyrics that lay his heart open wide with haunting clarity. Listen HERE.

On working with Michael Kiwanuka Daniele reflects, “I was drawn to Michael Kiwanuka’s profound sense of humanity. It’s there in every lyric he sings and every performance he gives. His artistic perspective and the way he communicates it are incredibly rare.”

That “sense of humanity” is integral to the overarching theme of Wilma, namely the universal love saga we all dream about, that we hope and pray for — though the album also delves deep into the idiosyncrasies of ‘modern love.’

To bring Wilma to fruition, Daniele enlisted the truly unique talents of Kiwanuka and Orion Sun, who split time singing on the album and contributed to the songwriting. The songs also feature lyrical contributions from Daniele’s trusted poetic confidant, GRAMMY Award-winning Zimbabwean-American singer, songwriter and producer, Shungudzo (Jessie Ware, Angelique Kidjo). Daniele’s unconventional approach to casting the album’s vocalists was rooted in something closer to voice casting for film than a traditional feature selection. The decision wasn’t based solely on vocal timbre, but also on each artist’s body of work— the themes they explore in their songwriting and the emotional character of their  performances throughout their catalogs.

The album’s striking cover art is a reproduction of a publicity still of the actress Edith Scob (Eyes Without A Face) taken by avant-garde Spanish photographer Antonio Gálvez on the set of legendary surrealist master Luis Bunuel’s 1969 satire on religious dogma, The Milky Way.

The complete tracklist for Wilma is:

1. Blame Games ft. Michael Kiwanuka
2. Thoughts & Words ft. Orion Sun
3. Reverie #1
4. Fallin’ Dreams ft. Michael Kiwanuka
5. So Low ft. Orion Sun
6. Reverie #2
7. To Some Degree ft. Michael Kiwanuka
8. Anxiety ft. Orion Sun
9. Reverie #3
10. You Could Be The Sun, I Could Be The Moon ft. Orion Sun, Michael Kiwanuka

MIKE D
THANK YOU
DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW

“MAKE IT STOP” OUT NOW

NORTH AMERICAN TOUR BEGINS AUGUST 30

“Thank You is refreshingly inventive… To have the aim and drive to create something this new and far afield deserves applause… He’s Mike D and he gets respect.” — ASSOCIATED PRESS

Following months of anticipation punctuated by multiple critically acclaimed single releases and incendiary live shows “embodied with the punk energy that led to his band’s early breakthrough” (ROLLING STONE), Thank You, the eagerly awaited debut album from Mike D 5D, is released today, August 28, via Capitol Records.

Featuring “Make It Stop,” the arrival of Thank You has been advanced by “Crypto”—“a searing, lo-fi blast of analog synthesizer noise and smashed industrial beats” (THE NEW YORK TIMES), the “genre-defying banger” (GLIDE) “Switch Up,” “the classic, bombastic, boisterously energetic” (OKAYPLAYER) “What We Got,” and the “buzzy, pensive, breakbeat-powered wall of acid rock” (RELIX) that is “True Colors.” The album is comprised of 13 servings of sonically inventive post-electronic grooves and hypnotic hooks that find Mike D’s unmistakable voice leading the listener through an aural playground that defies categorization.

Additionally, the Mike D 5D touring band — featuring Mike’s sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, Eddie Ruscha, Will Graefe and Milo Ruscha — will return to North American stages with a sold out show at August 30 at Boston’s Royale — just two days after Thank You’s release — kicking off an itinerary featuring sold out stops in Santa Cruz CA, Washington DC and Asheville NC, headline dates from Los Angeles, Chicago and New York to the Pacific Northwest, Canada and beyond, an appearance at the Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and many more. See below for a full list of dates, cities and venues, and stay tuned tohttps://miked5d.com/ for further updates.

FEATURE FILM CAPTURING SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR HAUNTING CINEMAS & IMAXⓇ WORLDWIDE 
BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26th  

DIRECTED BY AMIR CHAMDIN

PRODUCED BY TOBIAS FORGE, KRISTEN MULDERIG, RICK SALES, MATILDA E. ALMEIDA, JESSICA ROULSTON 

TICKETS ON SALE NOW AT http://2bigtorig.com/

GHOST has announced the release of the 2 BIG TO RIG Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, the audio companion to the second feature film from the GRAMMY-winning theatrical rock icons. Available to stream or download August 27 via Loma Vista Recordings, 2 BIG TO RIG (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK) is preceded by a carnally charged live rendition of “Umbra” featuring Papa V Perpetua and the nameless ghouls delivering the cowbell-driven penultimate track of the international #1 album SKELETÁ to ecstatic capacity crowds in Mexico City.

Listen to “Umbra (Live from Mexico City 2025)” HERE and watch the video HERE.

Captured live over the course of two sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Palacio de los Deportes that drew nearly 40,000 fans to partake in the GHOST live ritual, 2 BIG TO RIG is a reference to GHOST calling an end to its unforgettable SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR in February 2026. The film was made with the intention to share the SKELETOUR experience with the faithful in the territories where staging the show was not logistically feasible — as well as for the fans featured in the film who had tickets for the first of three planned Mexico City dates, which became two after night one was canceled due to illness.

2 BIG TO RIG is a love letter to all those who have shared the GHOST ritual, in-person or otherwise. Presented in IMAX® where available, the feature-length concert film is both a must for those looking to relive their SKELETOUR memories and for those witnessing the spectacle for the first time. The charismatic Papa V and his supremely talented coven of nameless ghouls have never looked or sounded better than they do here, ripping through material from GHOST’s six albums — including 2025’s global #1 SKELETÁ — including live renditions of hits “Satanized” and “Lachryma” — as well as non-LP favorites including “Mary On A Cross,” “Kiss the Go-Goat,” and “The Future is a Foreign Land.”

2 BIG TO RIG will be released in cinemas and IMAX® worldwide, beginning Wednesday, August 26, for a limited time only. For updates on screenings, showtimes, and to sign up for further information, go to 2BigToRig.com.

About GHOST
Following a decade of achievements including a GRAMMY Award, an American Music Award, an iHeart Radio Award, a string of RIAA-certified gold and platinum singles, and a box office record-breaking feature film, 2025 would prove to be GHOST’s busiest, most ambitious and outright biggest year to date. The #1 debut on the Billboard 200 of SKELETÁ (the first hard rock act to top the US charts in four years), the sixth album from the Swedish theatrical rock icons, and the 10-million-plus YouTube views for its insidiously melodic singles “Lachryma” and “Satanized” heralded the next phase of an inevitable path to world domination. More than 550,000 faithful acolytes have witnessed the otherworldly spectacle of the band’s SKELETOUR WORLD TOUR — including a sold-out first-ever headline date at Madison Square Garden at which THE NEW YORK TIMES reported “A sense of devotion was palpable among fans. Showgoers streamed out of Penn Station dressed in Ghost-themed costumes, including skeletal face paint, papal robes and nun habits.” Throughout SKELETOUR, GHOST would bring career-spanning setlists to life in suitably grandiose style, with the newly anti-christened Papa V Perpetua presiding over a phantasmagoric new production further elevating the live rituals that propelled the band’s debut feature film RITE HERE RITE NOW to become the highest grossing hard rock cinema event in North American history. From longtime devoted disciples to the curious uninitiated, all are continuously welcomed to find communion, salvation and escape in the ever-expanding world of GHOST.

BECK
RIDE LONESOME
NEW ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 18
“DISAPPEARING ACT” NEW SONG OUT NOW

North American Tour Begins September 16th

Photo Credit: Mikai Karl

Beck brings a ray of early evening sunshine into our worlds with “Disappearing Act,” an enthralling new song from his hotly anticipated new album, Ride Lonesome.

Featuring a mesmerizing sonic palette crafted by Beck as producer with Nigel Godrich mixing, “Disappearing Act” rides an ethereal wave acoustic guitar and orchestration, topped by sublime and entrancing vocal melodies.

A work of almost subliminal beauty, “Disappearing Act” is the third advance offering from Ride Lonesome, the long-awaited first collection of all-new Beck material since the GRAMMY-winning Hyperspace.

“Disappearing Act” is preceded by Pitchfork Selects choice “In The Night,” and first single “Ride Lonesome,” which NPR deemed “as moving and beautifully produced as any of his most beloved work.” Early critical reactions have been euphoric, with MOJO describing the album as “a stunning display of the alchemy of turning pain into sheer beauty… Strong from start to finish” in a 5-star lead review, and UNCUT asserting the record “weaves a spell… feels deeply true; a rare glimpse into Beck’s inner life.”

Ride Lonesome owes a measure of its brand new yet warmly familiar atmosphere to the contributions of musicians with whom Beck recorded Sea Change, Morning Phase and Mutations — Smokey Hormel, Joey Waronker, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., and Jason Falkner— reunited at Room B at United Studios in Hollywood. Godrich, who had worked on Sea Change and Mutations, returned to mix the album. In the decade or so since 2015 GRAMMY Album of the Year winner Morning Phase was recorded, Beck and the band observed a noticeable evolution and deepening of their performance and chemistry, honed by decades of working together. He recalls, “While we were revisiting a musical and physical place, it also felt like we were finding new sounds and emotional textures along the way.”

Ride Lonesome is available for pre-order HERE

The complete tracklist for Ride Lonesome is:

Ride Lonesome
Run Away
In The Night
Failed Words
Bleed
Disappearing Act
For Your Love
Slow Canyon
It Ends Right Here
Falling Through My Hands
If You Don’t Know What Love Is
Beyond The Light

Ride Lonesome’s release will coincide with the September 16 kick-off of the Ride Lonesome tour at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre. The tour will make stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31st at The Truth in Nashville.

WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run

By Paul McCartney

The internationally bestselling oral history returns in paperback with a candid new conversation between Paul McCartney and Oscar-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville.

Edited and with an Introduction by Ted Widmer

Publishing October 6, 2026

The paperback edition includes additional material in the form of a conversation between Paul McCartney and Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville

“Suddenly Wings has found its moment. We have a generational shift at work, and it’s like being transported back on a magic carpet. Working on the book has awakened so many beautiful memories of our times back then.” – Paul McCartney, from the foreword of WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run

One of music’s greatest adventures told by a cast of incredible characters who were there, including: Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney, Denny Laine, Mary McCartney, Stella McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, George Martin, Sean Ono Lennon, Chrissie Hynde, Dustin Hoffman, Twiggy and all the members of Wings – Denny Seiwell, Henry McCullough, Jimmy McCulloch, Geoff Britton, Joe English, Steve Holley and Laurence Juber

This remarkable cast tells the story of a band who made history – selling over 22 million albums and becoming the first band to achieve sales of over two million in the UK singles charts with Mull of Kintyre. A band who pushed the boundaries in both the studio and in live performances, from their first university tour through to pioneering large scale concerts, long before stadiums and arenas were commonly used for rock shows. 

The book includes a foreword written by Paul McCartney and is compiled from over 42 hours of recent and historical interviews from Paul’s personal archive. WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run features over 150 photographs capturing Wings throughout the years – many previously unseen – and shot by an array of photographers including Linda McCartney, Mike McCartney, Clive Arrowsmith, Henry Diltz, Robert Ellis and Paul himself. The book also includes memorabilia, including some of Paul’s diary page entries from the time and handwritten lyrics.

The new paperback includes a candid conversation between Paul and director Morgan Neville, recorded around the launch of Neville’s highly acclaimed documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, released earlier this year. Together they reflect on Paul’s creative reinvention after The Beatles and the enduring legacy of Wings.

WINGS: The Story of a Band on the Run is an international story that moves through space as well as time, including adventures in Scotland, New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Nashville, Lagos, Japan, the Virgin Islands, Morocco, Montserrat and other memorable places, against the backdrop of political and social timelines of the 1970s.

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCE

LIVE ALBUM OUT SEPTEMBER 4th; PRE-ORDER NOW

CONCERT FILM IN THEATERS AROUND THE GLOBE BEGINNING AUGUST 27th; U.S. THEATRICAL DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED

WATCH THE TRAILER HERE

U.S. Tour Resumes October 1st in Dallas

“they’re the real fucking deal” –– PORTLAND MERCURY

“Amyl and the Sniffers ferociously proved why we might be in a new golden age for punk music…Taylor’s presence was immediately felt. Her trademark aggressive, raw vocals immediately commanded the sold-out room. Her aura, physicality and nonstop energy have earned the endorsement of fans and fellow rock stars alike…completely breathtaking” –– DALLAS OBSERVER

“it was almost impossible to take your eyes away from Amy Taylor…This was a once-in-a-lifetime show …for that hour and a half, crammed in with over a thousand of other Amyl and the Sniffer fans, we were in punk rock heaven.” –– DO210

“While Taylor was undeniably magnetic… equal credit needs to be given to the rest of the band. Declan Mehrten on guitar, Gus Romer on bass, and Bryce Wilson on drums kept the beat and energy strong…the band tore through a set that was equal parts chaos and control, delivering a performance that felt as urgent as it did unhinged. Their stage presence was felt immediately, with Taylor’s buoyant energy and nonstop motion propelling the band from one song to the next.” –– WXPN

Having left a smoldering trail of sold-out dates and rave reviews in the wake of their globetrotting tour, Amyl and The Sniffers have just announced a special surprise for fans anxiously awaiting the next chance to catch their “masterclass in high-energy anarchy” (THE STANDARD) in the flesh: Truth or Consequence, a live album and concert film that captures a spectacular country-fried romp through the band’s discography, alongside two previously unreleased tracks as well as a cover of the Slim Dusty classic, “Lights On The Hill”.

Filmed by longtime collaborator John Angus Stewart and recorded in front of an increasingly rowdy audience at the legendary bar/restaurant El Coyote in Los Angeles on April 28, 2025, Truth or Consequence captures the versatility and raw ferocity of Amyl and The Sniffers, with each song infused with a smoky smattering of countrified punk.

Take a peek at the live concert film via the trailer and see the spectacle for yourself at a participating theater near you; stay tuned for U.S. theatrical screenings HERE
