Swedish high energy rockers THE HELLACOPTERS have been celebrating their 30th anniversary recently and after releasing something new - the much-lauded "Overdriver" album on January 31, 2025, which reached No. 1 in the Swedish charts for the second time in the group's career - it is time to offer their dedicated fanbase something truly nostalgic. "Cream Of The Crap! Collected Non-Album Works o Volume 3" is the long-overdue follow-up in a series of rarities collections started in 2002 combining material from a myriad of singles, EPs, and compilations. The 24 tracks featured in this set have originally been released between 1995 and 2004, and include originals like 'Disappointment Blues', 'Freeway To Hell', 'Doggone Your Bad-Luck Soul' and 'Long Gone Losers' as well as many cover versions of songs by Motörhead, Wilson Pickett, MC5, Smokey Robsinson, Alice Cooper, the Ramones, the Nomads, and Adam West - whose singer Jake Starr penned liner notes for this release - and many, many more. Meticulously compiled by Robert Eriksson, transferred from master tapes and vinyl by Henke Jonsson, and remastered for maximum audio fidelity by Magnus Lindberg, THE HELLACOPTERS proudly present a stunning collection of incredible, high-octane rock'n'roll on this over 75 minutes long CD edition.

The fourth studio album from the global superstar and 16-time Grammy Award-winning artist marks Mars' first solo album release since 2016's 24k Magic and follows chart topping collaborations with Anderson .Paak as Silk Sonic, as well as smash hits with Lady Gaga and ROSÉ.

Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and David Byrne met as students at Rhode Island School of Design, and made music in a college band called The Artistics. In spring semester 1974, the band gathered in Frantz's Benefit Street apartment to record a demo tape. The cassette featured tracks soon to be classics in the Talking Heads discography: "Warning Sign" and "Psycho Killer."<br/><br/>The 3CD collection includes this newly discovered material alongside additional demo and live tracks recorded by the original trio lineup of the band (Bassist Tina Weymouth alongside Frantz and Byrne) in 1975 and 1976 alongside the first official release of the band's demo session for CBS/Columbia Records in 1975 as well as rare live recordings of the original trio lineup in 1976 and 1977.

MAKE-UP IS A LIE reunites MORRISSEY with producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Strokes, The White Strips, Weezer, My Morning Jacket) as he returns to Studio La Fabrique in the Saint-Rémy-de-Provence region of Southern France. With poetic and provocative lyrics, evocatively unpredictable instrumentation, and a title that can be read as an explicit call for unvarnished truth and expression, the 12-song set is poised to further cement MORRISSEY status as one of the most acclaimed and potent voices of the last four decades.

Maisie Peters has announced her much-anticipated third studio album, Florescence. Co-produced with 2x Grammy Award winner Ian Fitchuk (Kacey Musgraves, Beyoncé, Chris Stapleton) and featuring duets with Julia Michaels and Marcus Mumford, the album arrives two years after her chart-topping breakthrough The Good Witch. <br/><br/>After a whirlwind few years that saw Maisie open for Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Conan Gray, and Noah Kahan, headline her own world tours, and make her Glastonbury debut, she found herself almost constantly on the road. By the end of 2024, the pace had become unsustainable, affecting Maisie physically and mentally, and so she made the decision to step back - pressing pause on the popstar carousel and returning home to reconnect with her life offstage. That quieter chapter gave her space to reset, grounding her not just as a person, but as an artist. It was during this time that the emotional heart of Florescence quietly took shape.<br/> <br/>That return to herself was reflected not only in her life, but in the music. Led by her love of storytelling, Maisie headed to Nashville, where she wrote and recorded much of the album. Reuniting with longtime collaborator Ian Fitchuk - whom she first worked with in 2020 - felt like a natural fit. Together, they crafted the album's warm, textured sound, with Fitchuk supporting Maisie as she stepped into the role of co-producer for the first time.<br/> <br/>Drawing from the aftermath of the relationship explored on The Good Witch, as well as the love story she's now living - having fallen in love with her high school sweetheart - Florescence reflects on how the right love can help heal the wrong ones. It's an album about perspective, self-realisation, healing, and ultimately, learning how to flourish.<br/> <br/>"These 15 tracks depict a blossoming of myself from ages 23 to 25 and a blossoming of a true, real love that anchors both me and this record. It tells the story of the last few long winters, with all of their villains and thorns, heartbreaks and rains, and it leads you, by the end, into a perfect English spring, into the hope and catharsis that comes when the first wildflower blooms," shares Maisie. "This album feels like a true representation of healing, of finding hope, peace, and strength not just in somebody else, but in yourself. It is knowing that there was a point to all the sadness of before, and the point is the woman you see in this mirror now, and the person you see by her side."

Multi-platinum singer, songwriter and filmmaker Melanie Martinez returns with HADES, her long-awaited fourth studio album and first full-length release in three years. <br/><br/>Her previous three albums CRY BABY, K-12, and PORTALS, all debuted at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Albums chart, with PORTALS launching at #2 on the Billboard 200, cementing Martinez as one of alternative pop's most innovative and influential forces.
