Carla Harvey’s Full-Circle Moment: LORDS OF ACID, New Music, and a Surprise GNR Cover

Carla Harvey opens up about a full-circle career moment, going from a teenage fan of Guns N’ Roses, Pantera, and Lords of Acid to landing the opportunity of a lifetime performing, writing, and touring with one of her favorite bands.

Carla Harvey’s Full-Circle Moment: Lords of Acid, New Music, and a Surprise Guns N’ Roses Cover

In this interview, she talks about what makes Lords of Acid hit so hard for metal fans, how industrial, dance, and heavy riffs all connect, and why this music still feels dangerous, sexy, and alive. We also dig into life on the road, how festivals hit differently than headline shows, plus the creative side of touring, coffee shop muses, and the art that’s always been part of her world. She also teases new music with The Violent Hour, including a Guns N’ Roses cover that’s already turning heads. As promised on The Podcast That Rocked April 8th, a new stop has been added to The Cheeky Freaky Tour in Flagstaff, AZ, and I’ll be giving away 2 pairs of tickets for that show on IG & FB.

“Ex-Turnstile guitarist Brady Ebert was arrested earlier this week and charged with attempted murder in the second degree and first degree assault, as confirmed by Maryland Judiciary Case Search and Record Portal. The 33-year-old musician, who was fired from Turnstile in 2022 and launched the new band Experience after The S.E.T. cut him loose earlier this year, made an initial appearance in court yesterday (April 1) and has a bond hearing set for today (April 2) at 1PM ET in front of Judge Sherri Debra Koch. A further preliminary hearing is set for May 1 at 9:30AM ET. An warrant for Ebert’s arrest was issued by Judge Jacqueline Johnson on March 30 and served on March 31 in relation to a March 29 incident that led to the aforementioned charges. Ebert was apprehended by Montgomery County Police officer Kevin Moris and the musician is documented as having waived his attorney at the April 1 court appearance and is eligible to be represented by a public defender. Records indicate Andrew David Alpert will be representing Ebert in this case.” (Loudwire)

VANA Unleashes New Track “In Your Name”

Vana 
Unleashes New Single
“In Your Name” 

The Lady In Red Tour
First US Headliner Beginning Next Friday, April 17
Ticket Info HERE

Auckland-based, RnB tinged industrial metal vanguard, Vana has today unleashed her latest track In Your Name. today’s release is her second since signing to Sumerian Records, whose previous drop Pray has already amassed a staggering over 3.7 million streams on Spotify alone and 611k views and counting on YouTube. When asked about the inspiration behind today’s release, Vana shared:

Falling in love is painful. Where there is equal love, there will inevitably be equal loss. Sometimes you fall in love even when it hurts you. Sometimes, loving someone you know is bad for you hurts less than grieving the loss of that love. “In Your Name” demonstrates how far some would go in the name of love, no matter how toxic that love may be.

Vana “In Your Name”

Having already amassed nearly 1 million Spotify monthly listeners and 85 million streams across platforms, the self-taught, multi-instrumentalist powerhouse is poised to kick off her first US headlining tour beginning next Friday, April 17, in Atlanta, Georgia. Stream In Your Name here and get your tickets at the link here before they’re all gone.

About Vana:

Vana (pronounced VAH-NAH) is a New Zealand-based artist whose industrial alt-metal sound merges brutal riffs with haunting electro-pop elements, trap-influenced production, and visceral breakdowns. Raised in Auckland (originally born in Anaheim, California), Vana is entirely self-taught, building her sound and fanbase independently before signing to Sumerian Records in 2025.

Her breakout single “Beg!” amassed over 18.8 million Spotify streams and 1.7 million video views, earning her acclaim from Rolling Stone Australia, Vice New Zealand, NZ Musician, and Rova. With over 85 million cross-platform streams, 765,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and a combined social following of over 1.2 million across TikTok and Instagram, Vana has established herself as one of alternative music’s most compelling new voices.

Drawing influence from Pierce the Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, Brakence, and Chase Atlantic, Vana’s music is equally informed by gothic literature, Lovecraftian horror, fantasy role-playing games like Baldur’s Gate 3, and fragrance descriptions on niche perfume forums. She co-produces all her music with Vincent Ernst of Magnolia Park, crafting a sonic world as lore-driven and visually ambitious as it is sonically uncompromising.

A passionate advocate for inclusion, mental health awareness, and female empowerment in male-dominated spaces, Vana uses her platform to create a safe space for women, LGBTQ+ audiences, and anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider. Her debut album, arriving fall 2026 via Sumerian Records, will introduce a dystopian fantasy world rooted in dark femininity, villainy, and the perspective of the misunderstood.

Vana is endorsed by Fender Guitars and Jackson Guitars.

The Tragic Real-Life Story Of Sublime

Sublime is an American ska punk band from Long Beach, California. Founded in 1988, the band’s original lineup consisted of Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Eric Wilson (bass), and Bud Gaugh (drums). Lou Dog, Nowell’s dalmatian, was the mascot of the band. Nowell died in 1996, resulting in the band’s breakup. In 1997, songs such as “What I Got“, “Santeria“, “Wrong Way“, “Doin’ Time“, and “April 29, 1992 (Miami)” were released to U.S. radio. Sublime released three studio albums, one live album, five compilation albums, three EPs, and one box set. Although their first two albums—40oz. to Freedom (1992) and Robbin’ the Hood (1994)—were slightly popular in the United States, Sublime did not experience major commercial success until 1996 with their self-titled third album, released two months after Nowell’s death. Peaking at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, it spawned the hit single “What I Got“, which reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. As of 2009, the band has sold over 17 million albums worldwide, including about ten million in the U.S. alone. Michael “Miguel” Happoldt and Marshall “Ras MG” Goodman contributed to multiple Sublime songs.” (Wikipedia)

“Bo Lueders, guitarist and co-founder of the Chicago-based hardcore metal band Harm’s Way, has died, his bandmates announced “with heavy, broken hearts” Thursday on social media. He was 38. Lueders “will be remembered for his unwavering empathy and compassion for his friends & family and his magnetic, inimitable presence on & off the stage,” Harm’s Way wrote on Instagram, asking for “grace and privacy” during a difficult time. No cause of death was provided, but the band offered up the 988 suicide and crisis lifeline to anyone “struggling with depression or urges to self-harm.” (LA Times)

Converge have taken this mysterious real-world phenomenon and reimagined it as a physical manifestation of human suffering. Then an idea struck. “What if’The Hum’ is the culmination of all the pain in the world, creating an audible signal across the universe?” vocalist and lyricist Jacob Bannon posits. “Something noticeable to others operating on a similar emotional plane.” Hum of Hurtfollows Love Is Not Enough as Converge’s second full-length release of 2026. Like its predecessor, the album offers a bleak yet empathetic assessment of the human condition and its ongoing deterioration. With this album, the songs are more raw and exposed. “When we came together to write, we ended up with a wealth of material,” Bannon says. “As work progressed we realized we had created two separate albums, and treated them as such.” Hum of Hurt is distinct from Love Is Not Enough, but just as volatile and potent. “It’s not a sequel,” Bannon explains. “The unifying musical idea early on was,‘Let’s make a noise rock album.’ But we never really did. The first one wasn’t. This one touches on that spirit, but it’s much more dynamic than that descriptor. To me, it leans more into being an emotional hardcore album, while Love Is Not Enough feels more metal leaning album. In the end, we simply gave creative birth to another Converge record with its own unique identity and character.” (Press Release)

ABOUT THE PLOT IN YOU

During 2023, The Plot In You kickstarted a new era with ‘Vol. 1’ with Divide, having generated over 44 million Spotify streams and counting followed by Left Behind, exploding to the tune of 82.9 million Spotify streams with no signs of slowing down. Upon the arrival of ForgottenRevolver praised it among the “6 Best New Songs Right Now”The Plot In You‘s ‘Vol. 2’ EP is a powerful showcase of the band’s evolution, blending raw emotion with polished musicality, and stands as a testament to the band’s growth and artistic maturity, captivating listeners with its intense yet introspective narratives with tracks ClosureDon’t Look Away, and All That I Can Give further solidifying their place as one of the genre’s most compelling acts. Built on the momentum of the previous installments, the penultimate ‘Vol. 3’ sees the band pushing their sonic and emotional boundaries even further, amplifying their inimitable blend of industrial-tinged textures, crushing heaviness and deeply introspective songwriting, leading up to the grand finale of ‘The Volume Series’, out Friday, July 10.

In the quartet’s latest offering and first release from ‘Vol. 4’You Get One comes out of the gates swinging with existential fury. With haunting, glitchy electronics, a driving rhythm, and vocals that fluctuate from eerily digitalized murmurs to in-your-face screams, the track serves as an observation on the counterintuitive nature of current society, and the expanse between being a human versus what it means to be human.

THE CALLOUS DAOBOYS Release New Single “Gigantic Parasite Tongue”

The Callous Daoboys release new single
“Gigantic Parasite Tongue”

Alternative metal collective The Callous Daoboys return with a blazing new single, “Gigantic Parasite Tongue.”  The track is the first new music from the band since the release of their 2025 acclaimed recent album, I Don’t Want to See You In Heaven.

The Daoboys’ Carson Pace shares, “This song is going to change the world.”

Dan Hodsdon adds, “Meshuggah playing Future Breed Machine live at Download 2005.”

The unsettling video for “Gigantic Parasite Tongue” was directed by Sam Hahn and is a haunting departure from their earlier visuals.  The story follows a modern angel who is mercilessly kidnapped and dragged away. Bound and powerless, he becomes the victim of a brutal ritual, his wings torn from him in a desperate attempt to transfer divinity to another.

The Callous Daoboys will be touring throughout the year, beginning with a North American tour with Arm’s Length, kicking off in Ottawa on April 21st. The band then heads to Europe for summer headlining and festival dates, followed by support dates with Enter Shikari this fall. Full dates are below.

About The Callous Daoboys 

A feral, genre-detonating collective from Atlanta, The Callous Daoboys don’t just flirt with chaos; they weaponize it. Their sound is a whiplash-inducing riot, spasming between metalcore violence, nü-metal sleaze, noise rock exorcisms, and swaggering rock ’n roll like a car with no brakes and everything on fire. 

They’ve left a trail of stunned crowds alongside acts like TesseracT, Protest the Hero, and SeeYouSpaceCowboy, while tearing through international festival stages like a controlled collapse. Celebrity Therapist (2022) cracked the door open; I Don’t Want to See You in Heaven (2025), produced by Dom Maduri, kicks it off the hinges and sets the frame ablaze.

Plenty of bands claim they balance chaos and melody. The Callous Daoboys don’t balance anything; they overload it. Noise rock isn’t revived here; it’s resurrected, reanimated, and sent rampaging through the streets. Across their discography, they’ve proven one thing with absolute clarity: subtlety is dead, and they killed it on purpose.

Converge “Hum Of Hurt”

“On Saturday, musician Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, posted a video on X showing him standing in the backyard of his Tennessee home as a military helicopter hovered for several seconds and another flew close by. “God Bless America and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend her,” read a post accompanying the video. He also used profanities to lambaste California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the post, which has been seen more than 10 million times. President Donald Trump was asked Tuesday afternoon about the aircrew suspensions and did not appear overly concerned. “I didn’t see it, no, but I’m sure they had a good time,” he said of the video when he was asked at an executive order signing ceremony. “They probably shouldn’t have been doing it. You’re not supposed to be playing games, right?” Trump said. “I’d take a look at it. They like Kid Rock; I like Kid Rock. Maybe they were trying to defend him, I don’t know.” The Army identified the aircraft as AH-64 Apache helicopters operating in the Nashville area and said that “appropriate action will be taken if any violations are found.” A military spokesperson said Monday that the helicopters flew from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to the Nashville area. A spokesman for the 101st Airborne Division, at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, said that the flying helicopters were not related to Nashville’s “No Kings” protests over the weekend and that they were “entirely coincidental” with the demonstrations.” (NBC News)
