Billy Idol unveils R3HAB Remix of classic 1990 hit "Cradle of Love;" on tour now

BILLY IDOL UNVEILS “CRADLE OF LOVE” R3HAB REMIX VIA UMe

IDOL CONTINUES SUMMER TOUR:

IT’S A NICE DAY TO…TOUR AGAIN!

ELECTED TO ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME ALONGSIDE LONGTIME GUITARIST/COLLABORATOR STEVE STEVENS




September 18, 2026—Rock legend Billy Idol is unveiling a new remix of his classic 1990 single “Cradle of Love.” The “Cradle Of Love” R3HAB Remix is out now via UMe. Accompanying the remix is a new video visualizer that pays homage to the spirit and iconic imagery of the original 1990 MTV-era classic “Cradle of Love” music video while reimagining its provocative energy. Listen/share the track and watch the visualizer HERE.

“Billy Idol is a living legend, one of the defining voices of a massively influential era of rock music,” notes R3HAB. “His catalog speaks for itself. It’s been a few years since I’ve worked on a rock record, and ‘Cradle Of Love’ is a classic, so this remix presented a fun and fresh challenge for me. My goal was to keep the spirit of the original while updating the production to bridge the song to a new audience. We love how it turned out and are happy to share it today.”

In addition to the new remix, Idol is currently on the road for his highly successful world tour, It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again!, which saw him sell out venues across the U.S., Europe and Latin America throughout the past year. Villanelle and Grocery Bag support Idol on select dates. Produced by Live Nation, the current leg of arena and amphitheater performances sees Idol performing tonight at the Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas. Tickets are available now at billyidol.net/tour; see below for a complete list of dates.

Idol’s live show has been hailed as “a strong, forceful show just crackling with energy” by the Houston Press, while Creative Loafing raves that Idol “has a lot left to offer and is capable of owning a concert stage with the same authority and charisma he’s always boasted” and the Dallas Observer adds that “over forty years into Billy Idol’s career, he remains just as remarkable as he started.” See what the media said about It’s A Nice Day To…Tour Again! HERE.

Later this year, Idol and Stevens will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as members of the Class of 2026 along with Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross and the Wu-Tang Clan; as well as Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Gram Parsons with the Early Influence Award; Linda Creed, Arif Mardin, Jimmy Miller and Rick Rubin with the Musical Excellence Award; and Ed Sullivan with the Ahmet Ertegun Award. The 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction will tape on November 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The 2026 ceremony will then debut in December on ABC and Disney+. In 2027, the Induction Ceremony will return to Cleveland.

Ticket on-sale information for the 2026 Induction Ceremony will be announced at a later date. Select Rock & Roll Hall of Fame donors and members receive exclusive Induction ticket opportunities. Visit rockhall.com/membership to learn more.

“Being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alongside so many of my heroes and influences is a tremendous honor,” notes Idol. “And to be inducted alongside my longtime compatriot Steve Stevens makes this all even more special. When I first started playing with Generation X 50 years ago, it was purely out of love for the music we were making and the scene that we were lucky enough to be a part of. Nobody, especially me, thought it would take me to where I am today. I’m incredibly grateful to all the people who have been behind me over the years, because none of this would have been possible without them. This honor is for my fans, and everyone who has been on this journey with me, as much as it is for me.”

Stevens adds, “I am deeply honored to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with Billy Idol. If there’s anyone that deserves to be in the HOF it’s Billy. For more than four decades, we have shared a remarkable journey full of music, creativity and unforgettable experiences. Thank you to the Rock Hall, to the fans, and to everyone who's been part of the story!”

The new feature-length documentary film Billy Idol Should Be Dead, directed by three-time Grammy-winner Jonas Åkerlund and produced by Live Nation Studios, is streaming now on Hulu following a successful theatrical run. The documentary—hailed by critic Jeffrey Lyons as “informative and engaging,” while Forbes calls it “poignant” and “moving”—traces the life and career of punk pioneer turned rock ‘n’ roll icon Billy Idol. Through never-before-seen archival and personal interviews with Idol, his family, peers and collaborators, the documentary digs deep into his emergence as a prototypical punk rocker, his meteoric rise as a global superstar in the MTV era and the myriad of challenges Idol had to overcome to not just survive, but to remain one of the most beloved figures in rock ‘n’ roll, fifty years into his career. Watch/share the film’s trailer, featuring Idol along with Billie Joe Armstrong, Miley Cyrus, Pete Townshend and more, HERE.

Idol’s first full-length album of new music in over a decade, Dream Into It, is out now on Dark Horse Records. The album reached #7 on the U.S. Top Albums Chart and #4 on the U.S. Current Rock Album Chart, #9 on the U.K. Official Album Sales Chart and #2 on the German Top 100 Album Chart. Dream Into It continues to see extensive critical acclaim from The New Yorker, New York Magazine, AARP The Magazine, Consequence, Billboard, USA Today and many more. See what the press has said and watch Idol’s appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (performing the single “77” feat. Avril Lavigne as well as discussing the new record with Kimmel) and “The Drew Barrymore Show” in the interactive one-sheet HERE.

The album includes performance and co-writing contributions throughout from Idol’s longtime guitarist/collaborator Steve Stevens plus appearances by Lavigne, Joan Jett and Alison Mosshart of The Kills, and is produced by Tommy English (Kacey Musgraves, blink 182, BØRNS, K. Flay). Stream/purchase the record HERE.

Idol’s greatest hits compilation Idolize Yourself: The Very Best Of Billy Idol is also available now via UMe, stream/purchase the record HERE

Boy Harsher releases new album 'GET MEAN' + shares "Faulty" music video

BOY HARSHER RELEASES NEW ALBUM  GET MEAN VIA ATLANTIC RECORDS SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR “FAULTY” HEADLINE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK

Boy Harsher by Nathaniel Jerome GET MEAN https://ffm.to/getmean “Faulty” WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOrqfEaAHKg (September 18, 2026) – Boy Harsher, the duo of Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller, releases their new album GET MEAN today via Atlantic Records. GET MEAN is a meditation on love, loss, and survival. Across the 12 tracks of the record, the band confront grief and heartbreak head-on, tracing the difficult process of moving through loss and discovering a path toward renewal. At its core, GET MEAN is a redemption album – a document of one of life’s most painful chapters and the strength found on the other side of it.  GET MEAN includes the track “Faulty,” which arrives with a music video, today, shot on 35mm and directed by Boy Harsher with cinematography from Owen Smith Clark. In the final installment of visuals for GET MEAN, Boy Harsher returns to the wood paneled space with a series of characters alone, or alone together, dancing through their heartbreak. GET MEAN also includes the previously shared singles “Jeans,” “Hard Beat,” and “Tough Luck (When You Don’t Call),” all of which also arrived with visuals directed and created by the band. In early 2024, following years of increasingly well-received releases, a mounting series of ambitious collaborations and cross-genre experiments, and extensive stretches of worldwide touring to sold-out crowds, Boy Harsher confronted the most profound test of its existence: the end of its members’ relationship. In the wake of the breakup, which arrived on the heels of a period of personal turmoil, familial loss, and creative block, the future of the band was mired in uncertainty and the notion of new music impossibly remote. It wasn’t until Matthews hit the road – sounding out her shifting identity and staring down the loneliness beneath the skies of West Texas, the Pacific Northwest, South Florida and points in-between, over and under, and off the map entirely – that the writing of a new Boy Harsher record began in earnest, one born of rootlessness and bound up in seemingly insoluble questions. What happens when a band that’s been forged in intimacy, cloaked in the sonic textures of darkly swooning electronics, and dedicated to plumbing the complex and contradictory depths of romantic feeling falls apart? What’s left after grief takes everything? What does a breakup album look like for a band as singular as Boy Harsher? The result is GET MEAN: twelve tracks of glittering edges and weary voluptuousness, diamond-dense instrumentals and vaporous vocals, a document of pain, dislocation, and redemption as only Muller and Matthews can deliver it. But where previous Boy Harsher releases have drawn on the duo’s predilections for classical synth textures and nakedly confessional lyrics to craft a signature sound mired in darkness and transgression, GET MEAN brings many new shades to the sonic palette: from softy detuned pads and noisily squelching leads to pedal steel pitchbends, from brash percussive in-jokes to unadorned cellphone voice notes, from the driving coldwave beats that have long anchored the band’s sound, to New Romantic guitar textures and archly cheeky pop moves. It’s a new statement of purpose for a band with complete command of its instrumental arsenal and a maturing – if no less ravenous – aesthetic sense. GET MEAN stomps out the parameters of its bespoke musical universe, staking an unapologetic claim for new musical relationships on the level of form and genre even as it hints at new possibilities on the level of the deeply personal. The first single "Jeans,” takes tongue-in-cheek aim at canonically Americana-fied themes of self-actualization and success, updating “Proud Mary” and Brat Pack signifiers for the era of gigwork alienation and national decline (“THAT’S LIFE / LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN / GAVE IT ALL UP / JUST TO SELL JEANS”).  In considering the genesis of GET MEAN, Matthews describes it as “what I had to give during the most extreme period of my life.” And no doubt – the radical destabilization, the all-consuming doubt, the desperate drive to escape, all of these qualities are palpable on a record as transportive and multitextured as this. It’s not for nothing, after all, that GET MEAN is Boy Harsher’s “road album,” one recorded in eight locations across the USA and through to Mexico and Italy such that the listener can feel the Florida scrub, the icy Northwest rivers, the grit of the highway rumble strip. There’s also something else, though, a feeling no less drawn from pain and confusion but given new life across an album that mourns, begs, jokes, and flirts its way out of the dislocation, out of the rootlessness and alienation and through to a place of abandon, of purification, of dancefloor catharsis. It’s like Matthews tells us in “Hard Beat,” careening in the inimitable Boy Harsher fashion between confession, exhortation, and proud self-reclamation: not just “I FEEL HIGH / WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LOW," but also—“LET’S MAKE IT REAL.” Next week, Boy Harsher will kick off their North American headline fall tour in Hudson, NY on September 25th with dates in Boston, Montreal, Chicago, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New Orleans and more before concluding at New York City's Knockdown Center. Boy Harsher will have support from Choir Boy, Evanora Unlimited, True Blue, and Kassie Krut on select dates. Multiple dates have already sold out. See full upcoming live shows below.   Since forming in 2014, Jae Matthews and Augustus Muller have cultivated one of underground music's most devoted followings as Boy Harsher. Their first EP Lesser Man, which includes the underground hit “Pain,” was originally released on a small run of cassettes, but then uploaded by a fan onto YouTube. They continued momentum with their Yr Body is Nothing LP in 2016 and Country Girl EP in 2017, which lead to their acclaimed 2019 album Careful and the 2022 album and film The Runner, which the duo wrote, produced, and scored. Boy Harsher have continually expanded the possibilities of darkwave, industrial, and electronic music. Their signature blend of hypnotic synths, propulsive rhythms, and Matthews' magnetic vocals has influenced a new generation of artists while helping bring minimal synth, EBM, and dark electronic music from underground clubs to festival stages around the world.   Beyond the music, Boy Harsher continues to expand their cinematic ambitions. They are currently at work on their debut feature film, The Lonely Woman, starring Chloë Sevigny, FKA twigs, and Sturgill Simpson.

Starling unveil new EP 'Plexus' - opening for she's green & Cryogeyser this fall

STARLING UNVEIL NEW EP PLEXUS ARRIVES TODAY  VIA BROKE RECORDS - LISTEN WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “SUNBEAM”  LA BAND SUPPORT SHE’S GREEN AND CRYOGEYSER  ACROSS NORTH AMERICA THIS FALL SEE ALL DATES HERE

Photo Credit: Alex Han  “Punk tones and squealing guitar feedback.” - FLOOD MAGAZINE “Dreary, string-laden take on alt rock” - THE ALTERNATIVE Los Angeles, CA band Starling are excited to share their new EP, Plexus, available everywhere now via broke Records. Teased over the last year, the four-piece’s new collection of songs captures the group prioritizing pop sensibilities and weaving melodic hooks into their sparse sound. The official music video for “Sunbeam” arrives today, taking a page from fairy tales like The Princess and The Pea and Where The Wild Things Are. The band’s image oscillates between reality and stop-motion animation, infusing a sense of play into the opening track of the EP. “The rollout of the songs on ‘Plexus’ started early in 2026, without knowing what would become of them. We wanted to start putting new material out there, but only decided on the EP once a couple of songs were already out,” Lead singer and guitarist Kasha Souter Willett explains. “We started to feel these songs fit together and how they were emblematic of this era of Starling. Many songs on the EP, such as ‘Sunbeam’ and ‘See the Water ’, are songs we have been playing live for a while. But ‘571’ and ‘Anti-sonata’ were born more in the shed that we recorded these songs in before bringing them to the stage. After experimenting with longer songs on our record Forgive Me, we wanted to focus on songs that were faster and more fun to play live.” “The music video for Sunbeam was initially going to be for a song that was scrapped entirely from the EP. We felt the concept fit much better for the song anyway. We worked with director Meriel O’Connell over a period of many months on concept and shooting, going with a play on the princess and the pea fairy tale with the use of stop motion for the dolls.”   LISTEN TO PLEXUS WATCH “SUNBEAM” Plexus was previewed across four singles, resulting in a steady stream of music across 2026. “571,” out in February, came together fast — tracked half-live in a single day — and turns on the fear that looking too closely at something good will make it disappear, and the pull to make the most of it while it lasts. The double single “Anti-sonata” / “Of Today & Canon” followed in March: “Anti-sonata” broke from the band’s usual live-first writing process, built and rebuilt entirely in the studio around a poem of Kasha’s, while “Of Today & Canon” is the EP’s instrumental turn. “See the Water” arrived in July, the final tease of today’s release. WATCH “571” After touring with Total Wife this past spring, Starling will support she’s green and Cryogeyser on their respective tours this fall.
