Jimmy Eat World hasn't put out an album since 2019's Surviving. Speaking with ABC Audio, frontman Jim Adkins shares an update on potential new material from "The Middle" outfit.
"Always working on something, for sure," Adkins says.
However, he cautions that doesn't mean a new Jimmy Eat World record is imminent.
"I can't really say that there's an album ready or not, but there's definitely beginnings," Adkins says. "There's definitely material, but I don't think we're ready to do an album, like, release anything."
Since Surviving, Jimmy Eat World has put out several one-off singles, including 2022's "Something Loud."
While you wait for possible new Jimmy Eat World music, you can relive their biggest album on the 25th anniversary Bleed American tour. The U.S. leg resumes July 17 in Bend, Oregon.

The Pretty Reckless has premiered the video for "Dear God," the title track off the band's new album.
The clip begins with frontwoman Taylor Momsen recreating the image on the Dear God album cover of her sitting at a desk in front of a wall with a cross hanging from it. We then see a crawling tarantula and snake — perhaps a nod to all the creatures that bit Momsen while on tour — in between some NSFW shots of the "Heaven Knows" singer as she grows angel wings.
You can watch the "Dear God" video streaming now on YouTube.
Dear God the album dropped on Friday. It also includes the singles "For I Am Death" and "When I Wake Up."

The program, which supports workforce education for community and technical college students, will distribute a grant of over $3.3 million to over 90 schools. The 2026 campaign also includes the first international Metallica Scholars partner, the Capital City College Group in the U.K.
"This thing started as a dream," frontman James Hetfield says in a statement. "Now our program is changing lives. To expand our impact on a global scale and support even more students is so rewarding."

Foo Fighters played the second of two shows in Liverpool, England, on Saturday and didn't leave town without paying tribute to The Beatles.
The set included the live debut of Dave Grohl and company's cover of the Abbey Road track "I Want You (She's So Heavy."
The Beatles, of course, formed in Liverpool.
Meanwhile, the Foos' first Liverpool show included an appearance by a fan named Max, who held a sign asking to play a song if he solved a Rubik's Cube onstage. Grohl then invited Max up, and after he fulfilled the challenge, invited him to play drums on the Foos song "Rope."
After the performance, it was revealed that Max wasn't a random fan, but the boyfriend of Grohl's daughter Harper Grohl. The moment was put together to celebrate Max's 18th birthday.
In even more Foo Fighters Liverpool happenings, the concerts were preceded by a performance of "Times Like These" by students of Liverpool's Anfield Road Primary School. You can watch that streaming now on YouTube.
Foo Fighters are currently touring Europe in support of their album Your Favorite Toy, which dropped in April. The tour will come to North America starting in August.

Bad Wolves have released a new single called "Paint It Red."
The track serves as an introduction for the band's new lineup, which features new vocalist Sara Skinner, otherwise known as Killboy. She joins drummer John Boecklin, the lone remaining Bad Wolves founding member in the band, alongside bassist Derek Bolman and guitarist AJ Rebollo.
"When we started looking for the next voice of BAD WOLVES, we weren't looking for someone to fill a spot; we were looking for someone who could help push this band into its next chapter," Boecklin says in a statement. "The first time I heard Sara sing, I knew she was different. She has an incredible voice, undeniable presence, and the kind of versatility that allows us to take our songwriting to places we've never gone before."
You can watch the "Paint It Red" video streaming now on YouTube.
Bad Wolves — which originally featured Boecklin, frontman Tommy Vext, guitarists Doc Coyle and Chris Cain and bassist Kyle Konkiel — broke out in 2018 with a viral cover of the Cranberries song "Zombie."

The Hu has premiered a new song called "Grey Hun," a track off the Mongolian metal outfit's upcoming album, Hun.
"'Grey Hun' is a song that encourages everyone to be comfortable with just being themselves," says band member Enkush in a statement. "It started with composing the riff as I imagined a man riding his horse through a vast landscape. From there, it took a while for us to finish the song because we wanted to make sure to clearly communicate the positive message of the song."
You can watch the video for "Grey Hun" streaming now on YouTube.
Hun, the follow-up to 2022's Rumble of Thunder, is due out July 24. It also includes the single "Lost Soul" featuring Jonny Hawkins of Nothing More.

"We've been fans of Amira for a while," I Prevail says in a statement. "She has such a distinct sound and style. The opportunity to write together came up super organically and we instantly connected on this crazy concept for a song."
"We all saw the vision for it almost right away," the band continues. "That's a rare and beautiful thing when it happens. We still don't think we know exactly what we made. We never had to stop to think about it. We just made it."

A new trailer is out for Breaking Bear, the adult animated series executive produced by blink-182's Tom DeLonge.
The show follows a family of anthropomorphic bears who "run a drug empire to raise money to save their forest from frackers and an endless array of psychotic enemies," according to its description. Or, as DeLonge previously stated when the project was first announced back in 2022, it's "just a ridiculous show about animals doing drugs."
The trailer, which is streaming on YouTube, certainly lives up to that promise, alongside the type of humor you might expect from someone whose band just celebrated the 25th anniversary of an album called Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
Breaking Bear stars the voices of Brendan Fraser, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Annie Murphy, Josh Gad and Elizabeth Hurley, among others. It will premiere July 24 on Tubi.
Blink-182, meanwhile, recently announced a run of European dates, set to kick off in June 2027.
Five Finger Death Punch has announced a new album called Legacy.
The milestone 10th studio effort from the Las Vegas metallers will arrive July 31 via digital outlets and on physical formats Sept. 18.
"Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and Legacy is exactly what the title suggests," says guitarist Zoltan Bathory in a statement. "It's a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we've experienced over the last two decades."
"At the same time, Legacy isn't about looking backward," adds frontman Ivan Moody. "20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We're incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about Five Finger Death Punch while also pointing toward where we're headed next."
Legacy includes the previously released single "Eye of the Storm." A second track, called "De Oppresso Liber," is out now.
Five Finger Death Punch will launch a U.S. tour July 20 in Camden, New Jersey.
Here's the Legacy track list:
"Legacy" "De Oppresso Liber" "Eye of the Storm" "Nails in the Coffin" "In Time" "Unscathed" "Joke's on Me" "Everybody Lies" "Shelter" "Scapegoat"
The Pretty Reckless' new album, Dear God, is out now. With her band's fifth full-length studio effort, frontwoman Taylor Momsen feels that the group has "really touched upon something incredibly special."
"It just kinda does all the things I want it to do," Momsen tells ABC Audio of Dear God. "It's brutally honest, it's vulnerable, it's emotional, but it's aggressive and intense, and it kinda covers the whole spectrum of human emotion."
As the title suggests, Dear God makes frequent reference to religious imagery in its lyrics. Momsen describes herself as not a particularly religious person, and describes the idea of God on the album as "grander than religion."
"Don't crucify me for saying that," she quips.
"God is representative of something bigger than you," Momsen continues. "This album is really, it's a collection of confessions of my life."
In those confessions, Momsen not-so-fondly revisits her hard-partying days with the single "When I Wake Up," while in "Love Me" asks the power above, "Why doesn't anyone love me?" Meanwhile, the track "Eye of the Storm" finds Momsen confessing to emotions she wouldn't even tell those closest to her as she sings, "Tell the band I'm doing fine."
"You can be as close to someone in the world ... my band is my, you know, everything," Momsen says. "We're chosen family, we know each other inside and out. But when you're individually living in an unsettled space in your brain, that's not always something that you reveal to everyone."
The Pretty Reckless will launch a U.S. headlining tour in support of Dear God July 10 in Raleigh, North Carolina. The trek also includes dates opening for AC/DC.
Sleep Theory has released a cover of the Paramore song "My Heart."
The track marks the second cover from the "Stuck in My Head" rockers in as many weeks, following their rendition of *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye."
Like "Bye Bye Bye," "My Heart" has also long been included in Sleep Theory's live set. You can listen to the official studio version now via digital outlets.
Perhaps you'll hear "Bye Bye Bye" and "My Heart" on Sleep Theory's upcoming U.S. tour, which kicks off in July. The band will be touring in continued support of their 2025 album, Afterglow, which includes the single "Words Are Worthless."
The original "My Heart" appears on Paramore's 2005 debut album, All We Know Is Falling.

Tom Morello has dropped out of his solo tour of Europe in order to care for his 102-year-old mother, Mary Morello.
"My dear mom, Mary Morello is back in the hospital and I'm headed home to help look after her," the Rage Against the Machine guitarist writes in an Instagram post. "Rocking the UK & Europe with you all this summer has been incredible and I [can't] wait to be back with you and continue this movement that we started. With much love, unity and power."
Morello previously postponed scheduled headlining shows in London and Paris earlier in June. Refunds for those shows will now be issued at point of purchase.
Morello is set to perform at the Newport Folk Festival in July, followed by a run of U.S. dates in September. He'll then host his Power to the People festival in Columbia, Maryland, in October.

Bring Me the Horizon has premiered a new single called "Dehumanized."
The track will appear on Count Your Blessings | Repented, BMTH's upcoming rerecording of their 2006 debut album, Count Your Blessings. Fittingly, "Dehumanized" finds Oli Sykes and company revisiting their early deathcore sound, complete with screaming vocals.
"Dehumanized" is accompanied by an equally brutal video full of blood, torture and entrails. The clip even begins with a viewer discretion advisory reading, "The following footage contains themes that some people may find distressing."
If you can handle that, you can watch the "Dehumanized" video on YouTube.
Count Your Blessings | Repented is due out July 10. Bring Me the Horizon will be performing it live at the 2026 Furnace Fest in Birmingham, Alabama, in October.

The band has shared a teaser of a new song apparently called "Paint It Red." The track is set to premiere on June 29, and you can check out the preview via the Bad Wolves Instagram.
When "Paint It Red" drops, we will presumably learn more about who's still in Bad Wolves alongside drummer John Boecklin following a number of departures and lineup changes in recent years. Guitarist Doc Coyle and bassist Kyle Konkiel left the band in 2025. Vocalist Daniel "DL" Laskiewicz, who replaced original frontman Tommy Vext in 2021, has been playing bass in Falling in Reverse.
The most recent Bad Wolves album is 2023's Die About It.
