New Single Releases

Here are the Featured 5 singles releases this week. Listen to the songs in the Spotify player below or in your Spotify app.

New Linkin Park single is here! And what a track it is. I bet this one is going to divide long-time fans, big time. Check out “Heavy” below
Lucky us, new music from Incubus as well! “Nimble Bastard” is the lead single off their upcoming new album. Linkin Park and Incubus should go on tour together 😉
90s grunge rockers Soundgarden are back with strong single “Flower” reminiscent of their early material
Yet another single from The Orwells new album that dropped today as well. Check out “Ring Pop”
Papa Roach attempts to resurrect old sound with new single “Help”

Song of the Week

Hell yes. New Incubus material to sink your teeth into. And it’s one hell of a track chalk full of relatable lyrics and vocal melodies. It sounds like Incubus material of old but with a fresh tint. Fans new and old should dig this one and look forward to single #2 and the rest of the album which is due to drop sometime in the Spring (I wasn’t able to find an exact release date as of this writing).

Incubus’ last release was back in 2015: the EP entitled Trust Fall which spawned the hit single “Absolution Calling” which scored the Song of the Week back in early March of that year.

The band will be going on tour in the summer with supporting act Jimmy Eat World.

When you land on your feet
You’re a nimble bastard
And you don’t skip a beat
Such a nimble bastard
Salt of the earth
Such a nimble bastard
Yeah, won’t you show, lowly us
How do you see the stars from that far down?
