The 1990s band's Live at the Casbah album, previously only available on CD, will be released on colored vinyl.

The band featuring Dinettes star Sue Delguidice has a new bassist, Chad Allbritton, previously of JuJu Satori (a group that has also featured Delguidice).

A new locally-recorded album called Death Eyes Live At Bar Pink will be available this summer on 180g translucent pink vinyl, limited to 300 copies produced by Pink Pachyderm Records, the label's debut release.

The electronic gloom-pop band, now a duo featuring Patrick Heaney and Cara Potiker, has a new three-track cassette with the title track "Remember," sporting artwork by Marina Grize. The group calls the title song "A reminder to stay present with the ones you love."

Their upcoming sophomore LP Modern Hate, due digitally and on vinyl April 23 via local label Three One Gee, is their first full-length in five years. The album was recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered in Mexicali, Baja California at Pulsar Studios and La Casa Estudios by Cesar Cossio, with vinyl mastering by Ruben Tamayo. According to Three One Gee, "The record was meant to be released in 2018, but was put on hold while they went on short hiatus to address some of their differences." The album delays furthered by the pandemic included breaking in new drummer Rocio Chavez. "This felt like a new start that called for relearning, reshaping, and retouching some of the tracks."

"I'm releasing my debut single on March 26th, called 'Melancholy Treasures'" says Sky, who is one half of the musical duo Smokelines. "The song talks about my move from San Diego to NYC for college and also specifically mentions San Diego in the song. It's basically all about the memories I've made which can bring on the feeling of melancholy, but how I also treasure those memories."

The reggae and R&B band's upcoming fourth studio album will be preceded by the first single “Light On The Runway,” due March 19 on their own imprint and produced by Dan Grossman of Loud City. The track “Changes” features longtime collaborator and co-producer Eric Hirschhorn of Rebelution.

Travis Barker told the Rock This podcast that the next Blink album is "60 percent done...there's like a song with Grimes right now that's really, really cool that I love. There's a song with Uzi that's really, really cool that we did with Pharrell. I mean, it's not like Blink's making a rap song or anything. It's like bringing Uzi over to our world. So it's more of a punk kind of like reggae feeling song. I don't think Blink will ever be anything but a pop-punk band. I mean, that's who we are. And I feel like our fans have kind of journeyed with us when we've done songs like 'Miss You' or ballads like 'Adam's Song.' But, like, we're never going to veer too far off from what we are - like, I'm like a punk kid at heart, you know what I mean? Whether it's like pop-punk with Blink or whatever with [Machine Gun Kelly] or whatever with Trippie, that's where my heart's at. Like, I was raised on rap music and punk rock music. It's kind of all I know."

The rapper is now the host and co-creator of a podcast series called The Parker Edison Project, where he says “I'm specifically looking at it through the black lens, because that’s my lens.” Ten episodes are currently planned to be broadcast every two weeks. The first entry features guest Latanya Lockett discussing “Womxn On Film,” another has Oranje Space revealing how music helped him to stop stuttering, and additional planned topics include sex, food, fashion, money, religion, the theater, and cinema.

San Diego Music Awards nominee for Album of the Year for their full-length Blue Planet Dreams, the LGBTQ-led band draws on rock, pop, jazz, fusion, and metal for inspiration. They have a new music video for their track “America,” from their recent album American Dreams. Using social distance precautions, the video was shot in early September 2020 at local Studio West. An American Dreams collectors CD edition is available with a 16 page pamphlet of liner notes, images, and lyrics.

The hard rock band's upcoming sophomore album Future Shock (due April 16), tracked at Clarity Recordings in El Cajon, marks the debut of a new bassist who joined last year, Gabe Mendez (Supra Summus, Sister Steele). The first single is now available, “Shred Or Die,” with a video streaming online. “We’re all just super excited to get this album out to everyone because I think everyone right now needs something new to get excited about,” says founding guitarist Casey Trask. “At the time of this release, the world is still under quarantine from the Covid 19 virus in parts of the world and we think it will be a welcome escape from having to worry so much right now. We should all be cautious of course, but we can't make our lives not worth living. This album really inspires us to write even better and we're still amazed at how it came out. We look forward to hearing its response by fans and getting to play it live and loud again.”

The Lemon Grove rapper, whose 2015 track "Chill Bill" is up to over 288 million views, has a new 7-song EP, Solitaire Stone, and an upcoming album called Bonafide. The EP single "Fantasy," produced by Big Jerm and Jay Card, comes with a video streaming online that was shot at various hangouts around San Diego.

The reggae rocker has a new cover single, "No Complaint." According to Young, "This song is a rendition of a classic Half Pint song from the 80s with an original verse added. The song features a rootsy vinyl inspired lo-fi sound of the early years in reggae music. The lead synth has a classic duck tone wobble with king tubby type dub effects surrounding it. I extended the mix and added a section of dub after the tune that was common on vinyl 12 inch single versions to fill the entire side of the record. That dub section starts with a hard cut on the snare which was typical in the old studios in Jamaica. The engineer would cut the tape on the visible transient which he presumably thought was the kick but was actually the snare and spliced the two version together. I grew up hearing this hiccup on the 12 inch extended versions and grew to love it. The dub version also features subtle effects on the bass (5:10) that resembles the likes of Mad Professor from UK. I had a great time recreating some of the great works in reggae music and will continue to pay homage to them with more music."

The Blink-182 drummer produced the new album by rapper Trippie Redd, Neon Shark VS Pegasus, via 10K Projects/Caroline. When asked about his first rock and roll album by rock/metal publication Loudwire, and why he chose Barker to collaborate, Redd said “it just felt right to make a rock record with him.” The project also features verses from Deftones’ Chino Moreno and Scarlxrd, Zillikami, and Machine Gun Kelly.

The guitarist for Gandhi Method, Bad Science Fiction, and the Grams has a new solo EP, Love Letters, with a music video streaming online for its first single "Justice."
