Time to catch you up with some of the new tunes we’re spinning on Z975!

From York, North Yorkshire in the UK, Asking Alexandria have just released their seventh studio album, “See What’s on the Inside.” It’s their first release on a new label, Better Noise Music. Guitarist Ben Bruce said that the album is about the band reconnecting and falling back in love with creating music together. Check out the first single, “Alone Again”.

 

Bad Wolves first made their mark in 2017 with their cover of The Cranberries classic, “Zombie”. They managed to release two albums before an internal blow up caused the departure of frontman, Tommy Vext. It depends on who you ask as to if he quit or was fired in January of this year. In May, Vext took to social media to announce that Bad Wolves had a new vocalist and that the band would have to change their name in order to continue performing songs that he wrote. Vext is doing his own thing these days including performing those songs. (If you love drama and have time on your hands, you can read up on everything, including a lawsuit from the record label.) However, Bad Wolves did confirm a new frontman, Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz and released the first single from a new album, “Dear Monsters”, which is due October 29th. Check out “Lifeline”

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary."
