Exploding Head Syndrome Deathbeds Punk Rock Theory

Today I learned that Exploding Head Syndrome (EHS) is a harmless sleep disorder in which a person perceives a sudden loud noise in their head just as they are falling asleep or waking up.

Brian Fallon & The Painkillers - Not Bad For New Jersey

Brian Fallon returns with his first original solo songs in over five years. Produced by longtime collaborator Butch Walker, the tracks crash together power-pop hooks and heartland grit: a ragged hometown anthem on one side, and a slow-burning portrait of a relationship coming apart on the other.

 

Not Bad For New Jersey track listing:

Among Legends - Lose My Grip

Ontario punk trio Among Legends are gearing up to release their long-awaited new full-length, Lose My Grip, arriving July 10, 2026. The album marks a significant step forward for the band, showcasing a sharper, faster, and more emotionally direct approach than anything in their catalog to date.

Harrison Gordon - Bliss

Fresh off the news of their signing to Hopeless Records, the Illinois-raised, punk rock band Harrison Gordon has announced their forthcoming record BLISS set for release on September 4th. Today, they released their second single off the new LP “Not Working! Not Working!” with an accompanying music video. 

Harrison Gordon shares their thoughts on the new single below: 

The Drowns - Harsh Reality

The Drowns have announced their new album Harsh Reality. The LP is scheduled for release on September 18, 2026 via Pirates Press Records, and features the 13 new songs produced by punk rock legend Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO. The band’s fourth studio album, recorded by Stevenson and mixed by Jason Livermore (Teenage Bottlerocket), is an unapologetically political punk record.

Adam Rubenstein - Firebreak

Adam Rubenstein is proud to announce the forthcoming solo LP Firebreak, due out August 14th via Spartan Records. The album marks the first new solo effort from Rubenstein in a decade, following 2016’s Nightly Waves. Rubenstein has spent decades building a life in music that rarely sits still. From his early work in Midwest hardcore pioneers Split Lip to the long arc of Chamberlain, his voice has been shaped by movement, reinvention, and a refusal to stay pinned to one version of himself for too long.

Muelas - Bellow EP

Atlanta hardcore band MUELAS today announce the arrival of debut EP Bellow with the release of single/video “SWITCHBACK”. A genre-shifting exploration of singer/violinist (and mariachi musician) Susy Reyes’ emotional range, “SWITCHBACK” serves up both tender ballad and crushing rage. A swirling, simmering cocktail that channels the intense realization of having allowed oneself to be reduced to a stepping stone in someone’s life and the knowledge that your own self-betterment is no quick fix.
