One of the most influential bands of their generation and beyond, The Jesus and Mary Chain marked their 40th anniversary in 2024 with a new album, Glasgow Eyes. This was the band’s first studio album since Damage And Joy (2017). The band formed in East Kilbride, Scotland in 1983 and revolves around the songwriting partnership of brothers Jim and William Reid, who are the two founding members of the band. The band have had twelve top 40 entries and two top 10 hits in the UK singles chart in their career.
The Damned are true punk and Goth-Rock icons. With 12 studio albums – including the era-defining Damned Damned Damned – and several UK chart singles under their belts, the legends mark their 50th anniversary with a new tour and album. Released on Friday January 23, Not Like Everybody Else is a deeply personal and celebratory covers album dedicated to the memory of Brian James, the band’s legendary founding guitarist who died in 2025

It’s been a decade since Hollywood Vampires first came together — and they’re still raising hell on stage. Formed in 2015, the band bonded over a shared love of their favourite songs and a desire to celebrate their ‘dead, drunk friends’ by playing the music of rock’s fallen heroes. Named after Alice Cooper’s 1970s drinking club, which included the likes of John Lennon, Keith Moon and Mickey Dolenz, Hollywood Vampires quickly earned a reputation for blistering live shows – a riotous mix of original anthems and tributes to the legends who inspired them.
Their sets are a raucous celebration of rock’s greatest icons, performed alongside their own powerhouse material. Hollywood Vampires’ shows feature stone-cold classics from The Who, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Motörhead, The Doors, AC/DC and more, alongside hits from Alice Cooper and Aerosmith. There is a documentary in the works called “Unleashed Spirits – The Rise of The Hollywood Vampires” and a trailer can now be viewed at www.hollywoodvampires.com
Hollywood Vampires are Rock and Hollywood royalty Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen.
