Greta Van Fleet's Jake Kiszka has announced a new signature guitar with Gibson.
The Jake Kiszka SG Standard is inspired by Kiszka's own beloved 1961 SG.
"The '61, this particular model, has defined me as a player, and I think I've defined it in return," Kiszka says in a statement.
You can watch Kiszka rock his signature guitar in a video for Gibson, now on YouTube. He'll also be celebrating the launch with a Q&A event Thursday at the Gibson Garage in Nashville.
The Jake Kiszka SG Standard is on sale for $2,499. For more info, visit Gibson.com.
Greta Van Fleet's most recent album is 2023's Starcatcher. Kiszka has since launched a side project called Mirador, which released their debut album in 2025.

A new documentary about blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is set to premiere on Hulu.
The film is called Travis Barker: Louder than Fear and is due out in the summer.
"Travis personally called about this doc to say, 'I want to tell this story … I was in this plane crash that I walked away from, and it fundamentally changed me,'" Disney executive Rob Mills tells TheWrap.
Barker was a passenger on a plane that crashed in 2008, killing four people. He and his friend Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were the only survivors. Goldstein later died in 2009.
Barker suffered burns and underwent multiple surgeries. He also developed PTSD from the crash, and dealt with survivor's guilt.
For a long time after the crash Barker refused to fly and would even take boats to international gigs. Barker's since started flying again and has credited his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, for the encouragement.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Hulu.
Thursday marks the 50th anniversary of the release of the Ramones' self-titled debut album, and the milestone will be celebrated throughout the year.
One of those celebrations is the July 4 world premiere of the only authorized exhibition dedicated to the Ramones at The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas. The exhibit was organized and curated by the museum in collaboration with Linda Ramone, wife of the late Johnny Ramone, and Ramones Productions Inc. It will include performances, artist conversations and interactive experiences.
According to a press release, the exhibit "connects audiences to the Ramones' legacy, cultural impact, and continuing aftershock across music, art, design, and public memory."
The upcoming year will also include physical Ramones releases and reissues from Rhino. In addition, newly remastered videos for “I Wanna Be Sedated,” “Rock N Roll High School,” “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and more have now been released on the Ramones' official YouTube page.
Released April 23, 1976, Ramones was recorded in one week, opening with what would become a Ramones classic: “Blitzkrieg Bop.” While Ramones wasn't a commercial success, only making it to #111 on the Billboard charts, it was a hit with critics and went on to be considered one of the most influential punk records in the U.S. It has also landed on several best-of lists, including Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The Afghan Whigs have premiered a new single called "Duvateen."
"When I finished 'Duvateen,' it felt like my life passing before my eyes," frontman Greg Dulli says in a statement. "The references to the teacher chasing me down the hall reminded me of my childhood. Digging a hole was an obvious allusion to a grave."
He continues, "I'm at a precipice in life where I can look behind and clearly see the forest of my youth, but I can also see the path to the other side. And it's going to inform what I do for the rest of my days."
"Duvateen" follows the March single "House of I." A new record is due out later in 2026. The most recent Afghan Whigs album is 2022's How Do You Burn?
The Afghan Whigs will launch a U.S. tour Saturday in Woodstock, New York, in celebration of the band's 40th anniversary.

Turnstile will be turning double plays with the Baltimore Orioles.
The hardcore outfit's hometown baseball team has announced Turnstile Night, taking place July 10 at Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The game will feature the Orioles taking on the visiting Kansas City Royals.
If you purchase a special ticket package to the game, you'll receive a limited-edition Turnstile-themed Orioles jersey.
Turnstile previously threw out the first pitch at an Orioles game in 2023, and their connection to Baltimore has been a big part of the band's identity. After winning two awards at the 2026 Grammys, Turnstile posted a statement reading, "Thank you to Baltimore for giving us a stage."
Turnstile is coming off performances at Coachella's two weekends. Their upcoming live schedule includes sets at Welcome to Rockville, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, among other festivals.

The CHVRCHES side project The Leaving, featuring founding member Martin Doherty and longtime live drummer Jonny Scott, has announced their debut live concert.
The show will take place June 6 in Los Angeles. Visit TheLeaving.fm for ticket info.

It appears Courtney Love is now an official member of the Geese flock.
The Hole frontwoman previously said she was "Geese-curious" about the much-hyped band, which landed on many end-of-year best-of lists in 2025 with their album Getting Killed.
Now, Love has gone from "Geese-curious" to Geese covers. In an Instagram post Wednesday, Love shares a video of her singing along to the Getting Killed track "Au Pays du Cocaine," which Geese performed on Saturday Night Live in January.
The performance features musician Baby Queen strumming an acoustic guitar.
We don't know what the next step in Geese fandom is, but we'll let you know when Love takes it.
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' (ABC/Randy Holmes)
When it comes to the condition of his vocal cords, Dave Grohl does indeed blame it on the alcohol, but in a good way.
During an interview on the Dish podcast, the Foo Fighters frontman shares that he went to a doctor to have his vocal cords inspected some years ago and was surprised to learn that everything looked good.
The doctor then asked Grohl if he does any vocal warm-ups or cooldowns before and after shows. When Grohl said he didn't, the doctor asked about Grohl's preshow routine.
"An hour before the show, I'll open a beer, then I'll start drinking the beer," Grohl explained. "I might take an Advil 'cause my knees hurt, my ankles hurt, whatever, I'm old. Then I'll have a shot of whiskey."
"Once the beer is done, I'll open another beer, then we'll maybe have a group shot," Grohl continued. "Then somebody will say, '15 minutes!' And I open one more beer and have one more shot, and then hit the stage."
While a hepatologist might have some concerns, Grohl's vocal cord doctor had a different reaction.
"My doctor said, 'Just don't change what you're doing, it's working,'" Grohl tells Dish.
Grohl will have plenty of chances to repeat that routine while touring in support of the upcoming Foo Fighters album Your Favorite Toy, due out Friday. The Foos will play a one-off show in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on April 28, followed by headlining sets at the Welcome to Rockville and BottleRock Napa festivals in May. They'll launch a full North American stadium tour in August.

Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley has shared a post reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the band's breakout track, "Fat Lip."
"The song that changed our lives forever," Whibley writes on Instagram. "Some songs come quick and easy and others are struggle. This one was the latter. I worked on this song for a good year or more before I even mentioned it or showed it to anyone in the band."
"I actually felt kind of embarrassed by it for a long time," he continues. "But in all honesty it wasn't really working for a long time either. It took a lot of work and maneuvering to fit all the parts together and make it feel natural and not 5 different songs cut and pasted together."
Whibley says that "Fat Lip" finally came together after writing the rap verses with guitarist Dave Baksh and drummer Steve Jocz.
"That's when we knew we had something that represented," Whibley writes. "It said everything about who we were and where we came from."
"Fat Lip," which was first released as a single on April 22, 2001, hit #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and is certified double-Platinum by the RIAA.
Sum 41 disbanded in 2025 after releasing a final album, 2024's Heaven :x: Hell, and completing a farewell tour.

Peter Hook will be in attendance when Joy Division and New Order are inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, but don't expect to see him onstage with his former bandmates.
When asked in an interview with Rolling Stone if he'll join New Order at the podium to accept the induction, Hook replies, "No. Not after what they did to me and my family, no."
"I won't stand with them," Hook says.
As for whether that might cause any logistical issues at the ceremony, Hook responds, "I couldn't give a s***. I'm not bothered. You've got to have morals."
Hook left New Order in 2007, and the frosty relationship between the two parties escalated to legal action. Hook contends that his former bandmates should not continue to call themselves New Order.
"It's very sad, but that's what happened," Hook says. "They did it. They decided to take the New Order name. I felt it was wrong, and I still think it's wrong."
Hook isn't optimistic about a reconciliation ahead of the induction ceremony on Nov. 14 and says New Order would have to offer more than just a onetime reunion.
"They'd have to reach out and try and form some kind of relationship," Hook says. "You can't just go 'truce for the night' after what we've been through. If you knew what we've been through, you wouldn’t even suggest it."
Even still, Hook allows that "life is full of surprises." After all, even fellow inductees Noel Gallagher and Liam Gallagher were able to put aside their differences and reunite Oasis.
"Maybe Liam and Noel could be the intermediaries that you're looking for," Hook says.
New Order, meanwhile, has not commented on whether they'll attend the induction.
Muse is teasing a new song called "Cryogen," which will appear on the band's upcoming album, The Wow! Signal.

"Cryogen" will mark the third cut from The Wow! Signal to be released, following "Be With You" and "Unravelling." The album, which marks the follow-up to 2022's Will of the People, will arrive in full on June 26.

"We brought something new to the ring," the "Second Chance" rockers write in the post's caption. "Unreleased. Unannounced. And it just hit @wwe."
EI8HT, the follow-up to 2022's Planet Zero, is due out May 29. It also includes the singles "Dance, Kid, Dance," "Three Six Five," "Searchlight," "Killing Fields," "Safe and Sound" and "Outlaw."
Shinedown will launch a U.S. tour May 13 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

AWOLNATION and surfer/musician Makua have premiered the video for their collaborative single, "Catch a Wave."
The clip, now on YouTube, features AWOLNATION frontman Aaron Bruno as a giant cyclops chasing Makua down the streets of Los Angeles.
"I wrote the song about a fellow surfer passing away in the water," Bruno says in a statement. "It never felt appropriate to release on my own. Then I met Makua, and given the big wave champion that he is, the timing felt right."
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.

Bowling for Soup has released a cover of Sum 41's "In Too Deep."
"We met Sum 41 in 2000 when our bands toured with Catch 22," BFS frontman Jaret Reddick says in a statement. "We instantly hit it off talking about Metal and drinking copious amounts of, well, everything. Oh, and listening to the cassette with 1000 farts they bought at a truck stop. You could tell watching them that they were special."

The Great Divide is due out Friday. Kahan will launch a U.S. tour in June.
