The song "Catch a Wave" was released in February.
AWOLNATION's most recent album is 2024's The Phantom Five. Bruno's also been releasing music with his hardcore side project, The Barbarians of California.

"We met Sum 41 in 2000 when our bands toured with Catch 22," BFS frontman Jaret Reddick says in a statement.

You could tell watching them that they were special."

AJR on 'Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026.' (ABC/CHRIS WILLARD)
AJR has released their first-ever live album, Live from the Hollywood Bowl. The record immortalizes the brother band's 2025 performance at the famed Los Angeles venue, which marked the finale of their Somewhere in the Sky tour.
"It's probably our #1 favorite part of the job is, like, planning out the tours and coming up with weird new illusions that haven't been done before," Ryan Met tells ABC Audio.
"A lot of times those illusions are very visual and they're very, like, you had to be there to experience it," Ryan continues. "It felt like at the Hollywood Bowl, our last tour, was the first time where it's like, 'OK, we've done enough interesting musical things that will actually translate to a live album and make you feel like you were there.'"
The Live from the Hollywood Bowl track list includes renditions of "Way Less Sad," "Bang!" and "Sober Up," as well as a medley titled "A Bunch of Songs We Haven't Played in a Long Time" and a closing performance of "Weak" featuring the USC Trojan Marching Band.
"You sing with more emotion and more power when it comes to a live show than you would on the record," Jack Met says. "You really wanna get across that emotion."
That emotion is part of what Ryan feels contrasts live concerts with music generated by AI.
"The more and more people that can just, like, click a button and make an AJR song is gonna be, like, 'OK, that made me feel nothing, I have an end product that sounds like an AJR song,' but what's the actual point?" Ryan says. "It's to be in a crowd, it's to experience it, it's to be surprised by the artist. Just all that stuff exists in the live space."
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' (ABC/Randy Holmes)
Any time a musician suffers an injury that makes them unable to stand onstage, the go-to joke has been to suggest that they contact Dave Grohl to borrow his throne, which the Foo Fighters frontman famously had built so he could continue touring after breaking his leg in 2015. For bluegrass artist Billy Strings, though, that suggestion was very real.
Strings says that Grohl offered to send him the throne after he broke his leg attempting a skateboard trick during a recent show in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"I had every intention of carrying on with the tour and Dave Grohling it," Strings writes in a Facebook post. "He even texted me and offered me the throne!"
Even still, Strings has decided to stay off the road for a bit and "let this thing heal." He's postponed the remainder of his April dates to August.
Grohl has previously lent his throne to Axl Rose and Matthew Ramsey of the country band Old Dominion.
Meanwhile, someone in Grohl's own band could've used the throne recently: Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear, who injured his foot in January in what the band called a "bizarre gardening accident." Instead, Smear simply opted to drop off a run of shows and was temporarily replaced by guitarist Jason Falkner.

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has announced a new TV deal for his National Wrestling Alliance wrestling league, or NWA.
The NWA flagship program, NWA Powerrr, will air on Comet TV beginning May 1.
"Wrestling was meant to bring fans closer to the action," Corgan says in a statement. "The NWA has always been about storytelling, personality, and passion. This partnership with Sinclair's Comet TV is the first step in NWA's push into free television and allows us to reconnect with audiences the way I experienced wrestling growing up, when it was accessible to everyone."
Corgan, an avid wrestling fan, purchased NWA in 2017. His work with the company was the subject of the 2024 reality show Billy Corgan's Adventures in Carnyland, which aired via The CW app and CWTV.com.
As for Corgan's music career, you can catch him and the Pumpkins play the upcoming Lollapalooza and Darker Waves festivals.
A Gold record award given to the late Steve Albini for his work on Nirvana's 1993 album In Utero is going up for auction.
Notably, the certification is not from the RIAA, but in recognition of In Utero going Gold in Indonesia.
"Basic story is that when Steve was sent his RIAA Gold Record Award for In Utero, he returned it to the band's management, as part of his philosophical stance against major labels and how they operate," reads a description of the item. "Later, perhaps at the behest of others, he requested that the award be returned. Alas, it was no longer available, although what exactly happened to it is unclear."
"In its stead, and presumably as a slap-back of sorts, Steve was sent this INDONESIAN Gold Record Award for In Utero," the description reads. "That was the sole souvenir of the multi-platinum record in his archives. So, no, it is not the RIAA version, whose current whereabouts are unknown, but it IS the one Steve had and kept. Now, it could be a key piece for any world-class Nirvana collection out there."
The Gold record award is being auctioned by the site SteveAlbinisCloset.com, which launched following the engineer's death in 2024. It will be sold via a blind auction; anyone interested can email auction@stevealbiniscloset.com with the word "NIRVANA" and the bid amount in the subject line.
The auction ends on May 3 at 4:30 p.m. ET, after which the winning bidder will be notified. The minimum bid is $5,000.
The All-American Rejects on 'Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2026.' (ABC/CHRIS WILLARD)
The All-American Rejects have premiered a new song called "King Kong," a track off the band's upcoming album, Sandbox.
"'King Kong' is about leaving Los Angeles," says frontman Tyson Ritter in a statement. "I'm from a small town in Oklahoma, and I moved back home. When I got to L.A., I fell into an interesting crowd. It was the quintessential, 'I'm in L.A. in my twenties and early thirties,' life. It's a town where everyone is chasing the same industry. There's no real life about it for me that I experienced until I left."
Ritter adds, "[Guitarist] Nick [Wheeler] brought out the quality in the song. It was a very natural combination of our efforts."
Sandbox, the first AAR album in 14 years, is due out May 15. It also includes the previously released songs "Easy Come, Easy Go," "Get This," "Eggshell Tap Dancer," "Search Party!" and the title track.
Noah Kahan has wormed his way into one family's heart by responding to their TikTok video.
A 5-year-old girl from Illinois named Caroline went viral on TikTok for a video that shows her finding an earthworm -- who she later named Mira -- and asking her mom to play Noah Kahan's music for it.
When her mom, Gianna, asked what song she wanted, Caroline requested "Orange Juice," a song from Stick Season about two friends, one of whom is an alcoholic who now says she's now sober.
"Orange juice in the kitchen/ bought for the children," Caroline added, quoting the song's lyrics.
Gianna sent the video to Caroline's grandmother Amanda, who posted it on TikTok. "The night I posted the video, it had a few comments and shares, and people were tagging Noah Kahan,” Amanda tells People. “I didn’t think too much about it.” But in the morning, she saw that the post had gotten hundreds of comments, including one from Noah.
"That worms gonna have some complicated feelings," Noah wrote.
Amanda then posted a follow-up video of Gianna telling Caroline that Noah saw the video and responded. "Oh my God! I'm so excited!" the little girl replied.
Amanda tells People, "Life, in general right now is so stressful and ugly for a lot of people. I hope that just for a moment anyone that watched this video took a pause, and enjoyed something so pure, just motivated by love.”

Billie Eilish's guest appearance during Justin Bieber's Coachella set Saturday night was so important to her, her mother took to Instagram to thank him.
Billie shared a closeup of her face on her Instagram Story with the caption, "Can't stop crying," referring to the moment Justin brought her onstage and serenaded her with his hit "One Less Lonely Girl." A longtime Bieber superfan, Billie first met Justin in 2019 and later teamed up with him on a remix of "bad guy."
Now, on Instagram, Billie's mom Maggie Baird has posted a video of Billie literally crawling onstage to reach Justin, along with photos of her crying while standing in the audience.
"One of the most touching moments ever. It sounds crazy, but we watch our children develop these deep deep connections to artists who move them and usually there’s nothing in our power to do," she wrote.
"But we buy them records and maybe buy them a ticket to a concert (or a movie of a concert in our case because we couldn’t afford to see an actual concert)," she added. "Watching this crazy unimaginable dream come true over many years is so incredible."
"I’m so grateful to Justin Bieber for the kindness he has shown Billie and to our whole family and to Hailey [Bieber] who makes so many things wonderful and possible," Maggie concluded, referring to the fact that Hailey encouraged Billie to join Justin onstage.
Hailey responded in the comments, "[Love] you guys!" and "so special."
