Steep Theatre announces the programming for its upcoming 19th season, which will continue the company's tradition of presenting bold plays from today's most exciting playwrights, brought to life by fearless ensembles and visionary directors.

Multi-platinum Danish rock band Volbeat have just debuted the music video for their new song “Cheapside Sloggers,” featuring a guest guitar solo by Gary Holt of Exodus and Slayer. The track comes from their forthcoming seventh album Rewind, Replay, Rebound, out August 2nd via Republic Records.

Critically acclaimed Southern California rock band The Shelters return with their new single “You're Different” today. The track marks the first new material from the group — Chase Simpson [vocals, guitar], Josh Jove [guitar, vocals], and Sebastian Harris [drums] — since 2017 and heralds the arrival of their forthcoming sophomore album set for release September 20 via Warner Records. On Wednesday, SiriusXM Alt Nation premiered the song and kickstarted excitement for its official release today. Representing another evolution for the band, “You're Different” hinges on fuzzed-out riffing and a sharp beat before unfurling towards an instantly hummable refrain and synth-sounding iridescent guitar solo. 

Synth-pop trio Operators' new album, Radiant Dawn, is out today on Last Gang Records. The band, featuring Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits), Devojka, and Sam Brown (Divine Fits, New Bomb Turks), previously shared the first single “Faithless” and the video for album track “I Feel Emotion”. Radiant Dawn is currently featured as Stereogum's “Album of the Week”, who said “it's music for a nightclub in a moon colony. It's music for a retro-futuristic recreation of an Eastern Europe metropolis that never quite existed. It's music for an encroaching dystopia.” LA Weekly similarly anointed the album, saying “the first hints of greatness came with the release ofEP1 in 2014, followed by the debut full-length, Blue Wave, two years later. But it's the majesty of the 14 songs that fill Radiant Dawn that show just how far this group has come.” Buy and stream Radiant Dawn HERE.

Today, Volbeat, the multi-platinum, Danish rock band, confirm their return with their seventh album Rewind, Replay, Rebound, which will be released via Republic Records on August 2nd. For the album, Volbeat— Michael Poulsen (guitars/vocals), Rob Caggiano (guitars), Kaspar Boye Larsen (bass), and Jon Larsen (drums) —build upon their distinct, psychobilly, punk-tinged rock 'n' roll sound they are known for, while reaching for new creative summits. “The whole point for us going into the studio, is because you still have something to prove — not just for the fans, but mostly for yourself,” says Poulsen. “We would not be able to do this record if it wasn't for the work we have done in the past. No matter how old the band gets or how many records we do, there is always going to be that signature sound.” Rewind, Replay, Rebound is available for pre-order on all formats here, including a 2 CD deluxe edition, a special deluxe edition box set, and transparent and blue colored vinyl, numbered and limited to 1,000 copies each.

Operators, the synth-pop band have shared another new track, “I Feel Emotion”, off their forthcoming sophomore LP Radiant Dawn, out May 17th on Last Gang. The band, featuring Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits), Devojka, and Sam Brown (Divine Fits, New Bomb Turks), teamed up with directors Caleb Bardgett and Johnny Dunn for the song's video, who explain that “its set in a world newly-devoid of human life, and these TV sets are the last artifacts of human emotion, playing loops from lost transmissions from some other space-time.”  Pre-order Radiant Dawn HERE.

Good morning, BroadwayWorld! First, we'd like to wish a happy opening to Ink, which officially opens on Broadway tonight!

Operators, the synth-pop band featuring Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs, Divine Fits), Devojka, and Sam Brown (Divine Fits, New Bomb Turks), have announced that their newest album, Radiant Dawn, will be out this May 17th on Last Gang Records. They recently shared the first single, “Faithless,” a song Consequence of Sound called “darkly coruscating electropop cut with just a hint of '80s psychedelia adding to the warmth, as solid a return single as anyone could hope for.” Stereogum commenter “black sheep boy” rightly proclaimed “THE BOECK IS BACK, BABY!” Listen to “Faithless” and pre-order Radiant Dawn HERE.

Operators have shared their first new song since 2016, entitled “Faithless”. Featuring Dan Boeckner's distinct vocals and knack for writing memorable choruses, driven forward with a pulsing energy by keyboardist Devojka and drummer Sam Brown's relentless beats.

John Vanderslice is set to release The Cedars, his first album in six years, on April 5. The record's blend of synthesizers, drum machines, and Vanderslice's unmistakable vocals has already been receiving praise from NPR, Stereogum, and Consequence of Sound, among others, and today he shares another new song, 'Spectral Dawn.' Vanderslice describes the track as 'a hymn to those who have disappeared into the ether: the lost loves, the obsessions, the dead. They've slipped through a trap door and are not accessible anymore. The remaining fragments of experience and memory are comforting and damaging at the same time.' Brooklyn Vegan, who premiered the song today, call it 'both lush and intimate, full off all sorts of interesting sonic touches - woozy synthesizers, waves of electrical current and ticking percussion.'

Operators have announced an extensive North American summer tour, kicking off May 28th at Chicago's Lincoln Hall and hitting venues across the US through July. You'll be able to catch their electric live set when they headline LA's Teragram Ballroom, NYC's Bowery Ballroom and more.

Days away from the release of her triumphant third full-length album On Dark Horses, Emma Ruth Rundle has unveiled a darkly romantic music video for “Light Song.” No stranger to mining her life for inspiration, this new track and its accompanying video celebrate a completely new chapter for the songwriter; after sparks turned to an undeniable infatuation between her and Evan Patterson of Jaye Jayle (resulting in their 2017 Johnny & June-esque split EP The Time Between Us), Rundle uprooted her life on the west coast in favor of Patterson's hometown of Louisville. That sense of settling, of roots digging into new soil and heartbeats steadying into a daily rhythm, is what propels the record. Strapped with equestrian themes and Patterson on backing vocals, Rundle's new environment is as much of a character throughout the album as she herself.  With Rundle's breathy but brooding vocals coupling with Patterson's smoky baritone, “Light Song” flaunts their artistic duality and flair for aural drama, a powerhouse partnership that is only amplified by stalwart backing rhythms.
