Legendary stoner/doom metal band Sleep have resurfaced with their first new music since 2018, albeit without guitarist and co-founder Matt Pike. In addition, Sleep have announced a fall North American tour (see date...

They're also embarking on a massive North American tour this fall.

We couldn’t have predicted this one: Quicksand’s latest preview from their forthcoming Bring On the Psychics album is a “diss track” targeting the so-called cool guys in the hardcore scene. Aptly dubbed “Cool Guy,” the new song is explained in a press release to be “an OG HC diss track” like Minor Threat’s “Small Man, Big Mouth” or Negative Approach’s “Hypocrite” (we’d add guitarist Walter Schreifels “Big Mouth” track with Gorilla Biscuits as another possible point of reference, but we digress.) While inspired by those faster hardcore progenitors, “Cool Guy” proceeds as a melodic, yet pound-forward post-hardcore groover, wherein Schreifels posits that the loudest person in the room can sometimes be the weakest of the bunch (“You always try a little too much / Projecting confidence at someone else’s expense”) and reiterates that they should stop talking shit (“Maybe instead you should just shut it!”). “Sometimes you just gotta get those negative emotions out,” the members of Quicksand add of their heat check. A performance vid of “Cool Guy” is streaming up above. It’s the fifth preview behind Bring On the Psychics, following “Super Collider,” “Get to It,” “Regenerate” and “Crystalize.” As previously reported, the album is out July 17th via Equal Vision. A vinyl pre-order for the LP on exclusive Pink Splatter wax is up in Revolver’s shop. Quicksand also recently revealed North American tour plans with Massachusetts hardcore vets Bane.

Legendary band SLEEP has released a new single, "Have Spacesuit Will Travel", via Third Man Records, their first new music since 2018. In addition, the band has announced a summer/fall 2026 North American tour, as well as released the first issue of the SLEEP comic book, written by bassist and songw...

Al Cisneros has recruited members of Melvins and Void for this latest incarnation of the band.

Doom-metal dragonauts Sleep are back but they look a little different. Guitarist Matt Pike, also of High on Fire, is no longer in the band, leaving vocalist-bassist Al Cisneros as the sole remaining OG member. Replacing Pike in Sleep s current lineup is Bubba Dupree, of the seminal D.C. hardcore band Void, while the Melvins very busy Dale Crover takes over drum duties.⁠ Thusly reconfigured, the stoner-rock legends just surprise-released a new single, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, announced a big fall North American tour, and released the first issue of the Sleep Comic Book, written by Cisneros.⁠ The vibe of the first jam was obvious, he commented of Have Spacesuit Will Travel. It was blue sunglasses-era Iommi in the quality, and equally awesome is Bubba is also one of the coolest people I ve been able to make music with. As for the Sleep Comic Book, issue #1 is illustrated by Dave Kloc and Arik Roper, and begins the saga of The Marijuanaut, transporting readers to the riff-filled land of Planet Iommia where our hero encounters with The Weedian and more. It s available for purchase in both a special and standard edition via Third Man Books. Sleep s fall tour is set to kick off September 8th in San Diego, and includes a headline performance at Levitation Festival in Austin, Texas. Tickets will be on sale for artist presale June 23rd at 10 a.m. local time, and public on-sale June 25th at 10 a.m. local time.
