I talked with our friends at the Hard Rock Online Rock Shop and we’re going to keep the pre-order up for the second edition of our AP.net commemorative logo pin for another week. Thanks so much to everyone that’s picked one up so far, we’ve sold way more than I think anyone was expecting, and it’s pretty damn amazing. If you’d like one of the gold versions of the pins — make sure to get your order in.
It’s been well-documented how tumultuous the nearly 30 year career of Sacramento rock band Deftones has been. From the tragic loss of original bassist Chi Cheng, to the in-fighting, to the passive approach the band took to recording their mid-2000’s records – it’s somewhat remarkable that Deftones didn’t break up years ago. Instead, the band has unleashed Gore, their most fascinating release since 2001’s breakthrough White Pony.
The new song “Honey” by Moose Blood is now up on Spotify and Apple Music. The song comes from the upcoming album, Blush, due out August 5th on Hopeless Records.

Axl Rose will be taking over vocal duties for AC/DC on their tour.
AC/DC band members would like to thank Brian Johnson for his contributions and dedication to the band throughout the years. We wish him all the best with his hearing issues and future ventures. As much as we want this tour to end as it started, we understand, respect and support Brian’s decision to stop touring and save his hearing. We are dedicated to fulfilling the remainder of our touring commitments to everyone that has supported us over the years, and are fortunate that Axl Rose has kindly offered his support to help us fulfill this commitment. AC/DC will resume their Rock Or Bust World Tour with Axl Rose joining on vocals. The European stadium tour dates begin on May 7 in Lisbon, Portugal and run through June 12 in Aarhus, Denmark as previously announced (see below for full itinerary). Following this European run of dates with AC/DC, Axl Rose will head out on his Guns N Roses, Not In This Lifetime Summer Stadium Tour. The 10 postponed U.S shows will be rescheduled and announced imminently, also with Axl Rose.
Ariana Grande has announced the track listing for her upcoming album, Dangerous Woman.
Our Coachella thread has been a great place to talk about, and catch up on, everything going on at this weekend’s festival. Don’t forget that they’re live streaming this weekend on YouTube: Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3. A better look at the schedule is up on their website. The two I’m looking forward to most today are The 1975 at around 6:30 pm (PST) and Rancid at around 4:40 pm.
Thrice’s Dustin Kensrue spoke with Fuse about the band’s new album:
I can totally understand anyone being bummed out on their favorite band’s new song or something like that, that’s totally natural and we’ve all been there. But what’s super strange to me is someone going on that band’s website or whatever social media thing and telling them, “C’mon guys, you can do better” or, “This is horrible, why are you…?” I can’t even fathom doing that, personally, and I don’t know if it’s because I grew up right before you could just say whatever you wanted to whoever you wanted. Is it just because of the access, or is there something else going on? Would those people have always not had an understanding of what is kind or polite? It’s just odd. I get not liking it. I don’t get you coming on and bitching about it.
I don’t think fans should be worried.

My thanks to Creep Records and Jank for sponsoring Chorus this week to promote the release of the band’s album, Awkward Pop Songs, on vinyl. This album is also available for a limited time for free on Bandcamp and I really do recommend everyone go give it a download. If you like what you hear — grab it on vinyl — because it’s clear that Creep Records really care about making their vinyl releases special and distinctive.
It’s been a blast working with Creep Records over the past few weeks and I really hope everyone gives them, and Jank, a look.
