It’s a few hours before showtime for Dirty Honey and singer Marc Labelle is backstage at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, wearing sunglasses indoors. The rest of the band is seated against the wall next to him, all in a row, to field questions about their latest album, Can’t Find the Brakes; changes within the group (they have a new drummer); and whether it’s possible to live the rock star lifestyle in an era where everyone is always watching and judging.

Los Angeles rockers Dirty Honey have announced the details of their upcoming album, Can’t Find The Brakes, set to arrive November 3rd. Following last month’s release of lead single “Won’t Take Me Alive,” the band has just unveiled the title track (listen below).

Dirty Honey — featuring lead singer Marc Labelle, guitarist John Notto, bass player Justin Smolian, and new drummer Jaydon Bean — recorded the new album in Australia with producer Nick Didia. While the group’s 2021 self-titled debut was recorded with the band in LA and Didia in Australia due to the pandemic, this time around, Dirty Honey were able to spend a full month in the studio with the producer.

“Just physically being together in the studio with our producer made for a very creative environment; we got into such a groove, we were very focused, and not rushed, so it was great for all of us,...

Hard rockers Dirty Honey have shared “Won’t Take Me Alive,” the first single from their forthcoming album, Can’t Find the Breaks.

The track premiered last month as part of TNT’s NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage and is now receiving a formal release across digital platforms. It’s structured around a lanky, strutting guitar riff, over which singer Marc Labelle’s howls and coos with the utmost hubris.

“The best riff I’d heard in the last decade,” enthused Labelle of guitarist John Notto’s striking axework. “The song is full of sex and swagger, but it’s still got the heaviness and the fun that Dirty Honey’s all about.”

Added Notto: “‘Won’t Take Me Alive’ was an instrumental idea I demoed on bass, drums, and guitar at my home studio. I brought it to the band, we wrote a new chorus, and it was basically finished that quickly.

Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford sent a message of support to Greta Van Fleet singer Josh Kiszka after the latter came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

The metal legend simply commented, “I love you Josh,” along with a number of supportive emojis, on the Instagram post in which Kiszka revealed his sexuality.

As reported on Tuesday (January 20th), Kiszka wrote, in part, “I’ve been in a loving, same-sex relationship with my partner for the past 8 years. Those close to me are well aware, but it’s important to me to share publicly.” He added that it was important for him to share his truth in the wake of new anti-lgbtq+ legislation in Tennessee, where he has “settled a home.”

Halford came out as gay in a 1998 interview with MTV. In the 25 years since, he has embraced his status as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community.

After miraculously enticing Axl Rose to join her onstage at Stagecoach 2022 and, yet again, at her L.A. headlining concert earlier this year, Carrie Underwood will return the favor and open for Guns N’ Roses when the band plays Nashville on its summer 2023 tour. Underwood joined the entirety of Gnr onstage in London last summer, and it’s a fair bet fans will see her again between Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan in Music City.

In addition to the Nashville appearance at Geodis Park, Underwood will open two Guns N’ Roses shows in Canada.

Though Spotify has focused its energy on podcasts in its quest to become the king of all things audio, the company hasn’t entirely abandoned its roots as a music streaming service, as seen with the launch of its latest test: selling tickets directly to fans.

While Spotify, run by Daniel Ek, hasn’t signaled it’s ready to take on Live Nation’s ticket-selling business, a direct-to-consumer ticketing platform would be a natural progression for the audio giant. Already, the Stockholm-based company provides listings from sellers like Ticketmaster and Eventbrite on its app and leverages users’ listenership data to inform its Fans First program, an email marketing initiative that allows artists to give their top listeners offers and has generated 300 million in revenue since launching in 2017, according to Charlie Hellman, Spotify’s vp and global head of music product.

Somehow, live rock & roll is happening in 2021 America. Dirty Honey capture the energy of their current tour both onstage and backstage in the L.A. band’s new music video for “The Wire.”

The clip, directed by the group’s go-to filmmaker Scott Fleishman/APlus Filmz, doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does add one more entry to the esteemed canon of on-the-road videos. Equal parts “Wanted Dead or Alive” and “Paradise City,” the video for “The Wire” follows Dirty Honey as they open for the Black Crowes on...
