HEAVYS Weekly Breakdown
looking at Nine Inch Noise dominating Coachella,
new Electric Callboy, and more.
“Coachella have unveiled several official videos of the first proper Nine Inch Noize set. Performing at the festival’s Sahara Stage on Saturday, April 11, the band – Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, plus Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize – made their official debut following months of playing together on NIN’s stunning Peel It Back Tour. Their 11-song setlist featured an appearance by Trent Reznor’s wife (and How To Destroy Angels singer) Mariqueen Maandig Reznor, and consisted of nine NIN tracks, one from How To Destroy Angels, plus a cover of Soft Cell’s Memorabilia. As well as playing again very soon at the second weekend of Coachella, Nine Inch Noize will also be dropping their debut self-titled album this Friday, April 17 via Interscope.” (Kerrang)

“ELECTRIC CALLBOY will release a new album, “Tanzneid”, on August 7 via Century Media Records. At the same time, the band has joined forces with global gaming hit game “Brawl Stars” for ELECTRIC CALLBOY’s explosive new single and video “Hypercharged”, which also introduces the new character Damian to the “Brawl Stars” universe. Alongside the announcement, ELECTRIC CALLBOY kicks off the “Tanzneid” pre-order with a range of exclusive collector’s editions. The release will culminate in a major celebration at Escalation Fest 2026, where the band will perform the new album for the very first time, turning the festival into a one-of-a-kind live premiere, including an Electric Bassboy DJ Set with new remixes, a Loveboat, multiple guests besides Evil Jared and Krogi, an actual Tekkno Train and the performance at the Wuhlheide in Berlin. ELECTRIC CALLBOY comments: “We’ve always been massive gaming fans, so teaming up with ‘Brawl Stars’ felt like a perfect match from the start. The track came together naturally, and we loved seeing it take shape as Damian’s theme. Damian fits our sound like he was built for it. Heavy, explosive, and impossible to ignore. It’s pressure, groove, and madness all at once. We love it!” (Blabbermouth)
