Hear The Devil Wears Prada’s new ‘crushing, cinematic’ song ‘For You’
The Devil Wears Prada have shared their new single and video “For You.”
Explaining the song in a press release, the band explains the new single is a “love story unravelling through the eyes of someone hopelessly devoted to a partner who can never truly give back. It’s the sound of desperation meeting blind loyalty – a crushing, cinematic anthem for the heartbroken.
“This is The Devil Wears Prada at our most expansive, with our biggest chorus to date and a fearless step into the next evolution of our sound. We’re not just pushing boundaries – we’re redefining them.”
Watch the video directed by Wyatt Clough below.
We Came As Romans return with first new music in three years
We Came As Romans are back. The band have shared their new song, “BAD LUCK,” their first new music in three years.
Frontman Dave Stephens explains, “BAD LUCK” is “about our journey as a band since the very beginning. We’ve faced so many setbacks and problems behind the scenes, and sometimes it feels like Bad Luck is all we have – but the way that we’ve persevered through all of them to become who we are today is the real story, not the issues along the way.”

The White Stripes release new live album capturing 2005 concert in Monterrey, Mexico
The White Stripes have released a new live album, which captures the kick-off show for their “Get Behind Me Satan” tour in Monterrey, Mexico, on May 11th, 2005.
The duo delivered a 25-song set, which included live debuts of seven songs from Get Behind Me Satan, which was released a month later. Songs played for the first time i nclude “The Denial Twist,” “My Doorbell,” and “Blue Orchid.”
According to a description on nugs.net, “The venue was apparently only half-full, due to the two local soccer teams both having important games on this day. Something poetic about the sport that had co-opted the band’s music from the last tour, turning ‘Seven Nation Army’ into an anthem, now also co-opting their audience at the start of the new one.”
The White Stripes’ Live At Auditorio Coca-Cola is now available to stream or purchase via nugs.net.
