    May 5 2026

    Inside the newly minted In-N-Out Burger Sound Space at KROQ in Los Angeles, Jack Antonoff opened up about his thoughts on the music industry, touring, and the creative process behind Bleachers’ upcoming album, 'everyone for ten minutes,' due out on May 22.

    Talking with Klein and Ally, Antonoff detailed his desire to keep music authentic, his fight against high ticket prices, and his unique pre-release ritual for new music. “I listen to every album I made like a few days before,” Antonoff shares. “I listen to every album, and then I'll listen to the new one and then I'll feel in touch with the journey.”

    Jack doesn’t feel tempted to make changes after listening to the entirety of his discography, knowing that the studio is a safe space for him. “I don't ever want to change anything,” he says. “I'm filled with regrets in other ways, but not with the music. I think that's why I stay in the studio and stay on tours, that's like the one place where I really like, for lack of a better word, feel myself. Everywhere else is really complicated.”

    Antonoff also spoke in-depth about his relationship with his audience, and the importance for him to continue the conversation with the people that get it. Reflecting on the lyric, "only my people can see me," Jack explained that his music is intentionally designed to "sift out anyone who's not gonna get it."

    “When the band started the first song I put out was ‘I Wanna Get Better,’ and it was really intentional because I thought to myself, ‘I don't want anyone misgivings about who I am or where this thing is going.’ I remember at the time it was like, ‘oh we should put out ‘Rollercoaster,’ you know, it's such a catchy song,’ and I was like, ‘I love that song, but there's this other song I wrote.’”

    “I remember telling this to everyone, ‘I wanna like sift out anyone who's not gonna get it,’ which they thought was maybe a problem, but It's nice to just come forward as who you are,” Jack reveals. “Then you're just on a journey and a conversation with your people and it goes this way and it goes that way, but I'm not ever taking my eye off of them. And it sounds reductive, but if you just do the things that you love and are really authentic about what you do, it's hard to lose sleep at night.”

    'everyone for ten minutes' is out everywhere on May 22.

    To celebrate the release of their new album, 'Everything Glows,' Cannons stopped by the KROQ Sound Space in Los Angeles for a special performance and an exclusive interview with Kevin Ryder and Megan Holiday.

    Cannons describes 'Everything Glows' as their first album that they treated as a "full time job," making the entire process "very intentional, start to finish.”

    After rigorous touring to support the 'Heartbeat Highway' album, Michelle Joy took time to tend to her health, including a surgery and recovery, before diving into writing the next album with support from her band. “They made me feel so supported, this album we've grown closer than ever and we understand each other in new ways,” she says, “know how to hold space for each other and bring out the best in each other, and we wouldn't have reached this point in our relationship together without going through the struggles that we went through.”

    Check out the full interview above.

    'Everything Glows' is now available everywhere. The band’s co-headlining 'Afterglow Tour' with electronic duo, Bob Moses, is also now officially underway. Find a full list of dates at LiveNation.com.

    Celebrating the release of their new album, 'Everyone's Talking!,' All Time Low joined us inside the Helpful Honda Sound Space in Los Angeles for an exclusive performance for a room full of fans, along with an interview where the band unpacks their latest project and more.

    'Everyone's Talking!' arrived earlier this month, marking All Time Low's 10th studio album, featuring the new single, "The Weather." ATL will also continue their tour across America through the end of November before taking the trek international. You can find the full list of dates here.

    19 years since their debut album, Miles the DJ asked the band if there are ever conversations about continuing to grind it out in the same way they have for nearly 2 decades. "I think going into making this album, there was that conversation," shares Alex Gaskarth. "I think this many years into a career and this many albums into a career, there's that moment that you confront yourself in the mirror and you kind of go, 'does the world need another All Time Low record or have we told all the stories that we need to tell,' you know what I mean?"

    "I think we face that every time we sit down to start a new creative process, but last year we spent the year kind of doing these 20 year celebration shows and that put us in this frame of mind that we were just so appreciative and grateful for the fact that people were rallying around this band the way they were, and celebrating all the eras and all the albums, and we were like, 'look, I think there's more in the tank.'"

    "We either write a record or do happy 17 years of 'So Wrong, It's Right' or something," jokes Jack Barakat. "Make up anniversaries."

    Earlier this month, Royel Otis stopped by our Helpful Honda Sound Space in Los Angeles to talk about their new album, 'hickey,' and to perform for a room full of fans. The Australian duo opened up about the making of their sophomore effort, talked touring and more with KROQ's Klein and Ally, before ripping through a set of songs to kick off a holiday weekend. Don't miss the full interview above.

    Talking about the "summer vibes" of the new LP, Royel Maddell was quick to admit that sound is likely subconscious. "I thought this one was like a bit darker," he says. "Like 'PRATTS & PAIN' I thought it was like super dark, but everyone's like, 'it's so summery and Australian beach sounding.' I'm like, 'f***, didn't mean to do that."

    Before sharing their debut album with the world, Good Neighbours gave us a glimpse inside the Helpful Honda Sound Space with a special interview and performance.

    Watch as the band talks with Miles the DJ about their upcoming LP, 'Blue Sky Mentality,' due out everywhere on September 26. Plus, stay tuned for an exclusive performance from the group.

    After viral success last year with "Home," the London duo appear on the cusp of something big, so we invited a room full of fans to come hang in our Los Angeles Sound Space and watch it all unfold live. ""Honestly, now I feel like we're in a place where we're just so grateful that that song did what it did," the duo says of "Home" when asked about it's success. "At the time, we probably gave it no respect. We had written the chorus and we thought, that's good. Like, it's a feasible chorus for us to play. But we never thought, 'this is going to be a smash.' And then the second we put it out, people just received it in such an amazing way that it almost educated us to be like, 'you should go off and finish this song as quick as you can.'"

    After years of making music, things have finally clicked for Oli and Scott, partly because they started making music for themselves. "It kind of started last year, almost by accident, really. We've been doing music for like 10 plus years, and kind of like not doing very well at it, and then like, yeah, we were just making stuff for ourselves and just stuff that sounded good, and it felt right. So we put it out, and it's going down pretty well."

    Aug 11 2025

    Shinedown continues to surge ahead towards their next chapter, hitting the road all summer with Bush and releasing searing single after single on their way to a new album, becoming unmissable in 2025. The "Dance, Kid, Dance" band recently stopped by our Helpful Honda Sound Space to talk about it all, and unleash a performance for a packed house of fans that you won't want to miss.

    When asked how Shinedown became "a band for everyone," Zach Myers admits it comes down to how they treat each other. "We get along better now than we ever have, and we've never had like a bunch of problems with each other," he shares. "I've always said 'you can fool some of the people some of the time, you can't fool all the people all the time.'"

    "I think that subject matter of songs too, you know. We chose not to write songs about getting laid, you know what I mean? We would rather write a song that makes you feel like you can jump through the roof of a building or run through a brick wall than something that's gonna fade," he adds. "I think that combined with just how we treat each other. I think that we are a people's band. I think that people notice that about us when we're on stage together. If you don't notice us having fun, you are not paying attention."

    With so much of Shinedown's music playing a huge role in helping the mental wellness of fans, the group was asked what they do for their own mental health. Along with faith and working out, Eric Bass knows it's just about taking each moment as it's own. "It's just one day at a time," he shares. "It's one thing, just take the next step, just one step in front of the other, and I know that's cliche, but stereotypes and cliches are in place for a reason."

    "It's one of the positives about being in a band. You're not alone," adds Brent Smith. "You can bounce things off each other."

    To hear much more from the band on the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne, their plans for the next album, and their thoughts on Rock representation at the GRAMMYs, check out the full conversation above.

    Aug 4 2025

    Rise Against remain one of music's great antagonists, always outspoken with an eye towards what's next and what's right. Their latest effort, 'Ricochet,' will arrive everywhere on August 15, but first the band pays a visit to the Helpful Honda Sound Space for an exclusive performance and conversation. Nicole Alvarez talks with the band about their upcoming album, experience at Warped Tour, and more.

    When asked if they have ever been scared to speak their mind in a polarized political world, Tim McIlrath simply says no. "That's who we are, we've always been. We didn't walk into this room somebody different and then try to pretend like we're something else," he shares. "We didn't pivot to politics or away from politics, it's just when you met us this was the band that we were, this is the band that we are, we've never done anything different. So if nothing else, it must be something in that DNA that has attracted you to identify with this band."

    "Not only are we unable to pivot away from it, but like I don't think it would be smart for us to pivot away from it. The people... when their ships find the lighthouse to Rise Against, they want that light to keep shining. So we're just going to keep shining and keep doing it."

    Check out the full interview above for much more from 'Rise Against.' Ricochet is out everywhere on August 15.

    To celebrate the release of their new album, 'I Beat Loneliness,' Bush joins us inside the Helpful Honda Sound Space for a special interview and performance. Watch the band rip through a few of their biggest hits and tracks from the new LP, and check out Gavin Rossdale as he sits down to talk with Kevin Ryder and Megan Holiday about music, cooking, and more.

    "I sort of looked around, and feel that life is really centered around people's aspirations, and we look at social media and we think we're kind of inadequate to the people we're following or they're having a better time, there's that real sort of sense of FOMO," Gavin shares on the inspiration behind 'I Beat Loneliness.' "People want instant success, so people get inevitably lost behind and ostracized or left, they fall off the grid, and they can't keep up, and so I wanted to write a record so everyone knew that it's difficult for all of us."

    "If I wrote a really personal record about my own challenges, I thought people would read that and just simply not feel alone, that's it, and then use the music as they see fit."

    Don't miss our Sound Space interview and performance with Bush, and be sure to check out 'I Beat Loneliness,' out everywhere.
