Blink-182 has released a deluxe reissue of their 2001 album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, in honor of its 25th anniversary.

Those who picked up Take Off Your Pants and Jacket when it first released a quarter-century ago may remember that it was available in three configurations, each corresponding to one of the images on the cover artwork — the red airplane, the yellow pants or the green jacket. Each edition included its own set of bonus tracks.

The 25th anniversary Take Off Your Pants and Jacket edition marks the first time all those bonus tracks have been collected in a single package. It also marks the songs' streaming debut. The reissue is out now via digital outlets and is available now to preorder on vinyl.

Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, which was released on June 12, 2001, marked the fourth blink-182 album and the follow-up to their massive 1999 breakout effort, Enema of the State. It spawned the singles "First Date," "The Rock Show" and "Stay Together for the Kids," and became the first blink album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200.

Listen to studio version of Olivia Rodrigo's Robert Smith duet, 'what's wrong with me'

Olivia Rodrigo has released the studio version of her duet with The Cure's Robert Smith, "what's wrong with me."

The track, which the two previously performed together at the Primavera Sound festival earlier in June, appears on Rodrigo's new album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

Smith's vocals first pop up in the first chorus as he and Rodrigo sing, "My head is spinning and my stomach is sick/ Say I'm in love, so it's hard to admit/ I can't eat, I can't sleep/ I think you're what's wrong with me."

You can watch the lyric video for "what's wrong with me" streaming now on YouTube.

The song is something of a full-circle moment for Rodrigo, who previously performed with Smith at the 2025 Glastonbury festival. She also references the Cure song "Just Like Heaven" on her song "drop dead," the lead single off you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love. The album track list includes a song literally called "the cure" as well.

"Robert has been soundtracking my life for as long as I can remember," Rodrigo wrote in a note to fans after the Primavera Sound performance. "He has written some of my favorite songs of all time. His music moves me & inspires me to a degree that is hard to put into words."

Three Days Grace's Adam Gontier reflects on 20th anniversary of 'One-X'

Three Days Grace's sophomore album, One-X, was released on June 13, 2006 — 20 years ago Saturday. Speaking with ABC Audio, frontman Adam Gontier recalls how he and his bandmates moved from their small Canadian hometown to Los Angeles to record the album.

"We moved down to LA for that period, and I think we lived there for about two months to record it," Gontier says. "That in itself for us was an amazing experience just being in LA and having the record label pay for kinda everything."

He continues, "The whole process of, you know, as a band living in LA, in a different city that we weren't used to and creating this music, it was a really great experience just in general."

One-X followed 3DG's 2003 debut album, which put the band on the map with the singles "I Hate Everything About You" and "Just Like You." Instead of falling victim to the dreaded sophomore slump, One-X debuted at a then-career high #5 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the singles "Animal I Have Become," "Pain," "Never Too Late" and "Riot" on its way to becoming certified quintuple-Platinum by the RIAA.

"The fact that the album did well and people listened to it and really liked it, that was just the icing on top of the whole thing," Gontier says. 

Three Days Grace followed One-X with 2009's Life Starts Now and 2012's Transit of Venus before Gontier left the band in 2013. They then recruited vocalist Matt Walst, brother of bassist Brad Walst, and put out three more albums: 2015's Human, 2018's Outsider and 2022's Explosions

Gontier rejoined 3DG in 2024, forming a two-singer lineup alongside Walst. The group put out their first album with both vocalists, Alienation, in 2025.

Jakob Nowell says Sublime's 'Until the Sun Explodes' album will be 'the last one I’m gonna make'

Sublime will release a new album called Until the Sun Explodes on Friday, marking the band's first record in 30 years and their first with Jakob Nowell, son of late frontman Bradley Nowell. As Jakob tells Billboard, though, it may also be their last.

"Unless a child of mine wants to make another one one day, this is the last one I'm gonna make," Jakob says.

"I think you have to know your goals, set out to achieve them, and if you do you must then create new goals," he continues. "I love doing this and it's truly healed me in many ways, and allowed me to grow as an entertainer and performer. But I wish to carry the flag forward in different ways now."

That includes making music with his own Jakobs Castle project and growing his record label. Jakob also intends to keep performing with Sublime alongside original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, and adds his feelings about making another Sublime album "could change in the future."

"But it would be enough into the future where it would be a moot point," Jakob says. "I've done what I thought was impossible and I'm very proud with the results."

"I would want Until the Sun Explodes to feel like [an] epilogue, the victory lap, a celebration of Sublime's history and a love letter to my father and all of his friends and the scene that raised me and touched so many people's lives," he continues. "After this I'd really like to pass that along and help the kids who want to do something similar."

Mumford & Sons announce performance on Amazon Music 'Songline' series

Mumford & Sons will appear on an upcoming episode of the Amazon Music performance series Songline.

The episode will premiere on June 26 and will be accompanied by an Amazon Music-exclusive album releasing June 29. The performance was filmed during a set in Brooklyn, New York, earlier in 2026 and includes renditions of songs from the new Mumford album, Prizefighter, along with tracks from throughout their career.

"Songline gave us the space to revisit these songs with fresh eyes and really strip them back to their essence," says frontman Marcus Mumford. "Working with [producer/arranger] Rob Moose on new arrangements was like rediscovering why we wrote them in the first place."

Mumford adds, "There's something powerful about sitting with a song in that kind of intimate setting—no hiding behind production, just the story and feeling. We hope fans get to experience that same sense of closeness when they watch."

The Songline performance of the song "Here" is now on YouTube.

In other Mumford & Sons happenings, the band members attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs Wednesday at NYC's Madison Square Garden, which saw the Knicks win after a historic comeback. The band posted footage from their seats in the MSG crowd to Facebook.

Blink-182 has announced a deluxe edition of their 2001 album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket in honor of its 25th anniversary.

The expanded set will drop Friday, exactly 25 years after the original record was first released on June 12, 2001. It includes six bonus tracks, or, as blink writes in a Facebook post, "boner tracks," showing that the band members' sense of humor hasn't changed much in the last 25 years.

As previously reported, blink started teasing something related to the 25th anniversary of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket earlier in the week and even resurrected the band's old Myspace page.

The original Take Off Your Pants and Jacket marked the fourth blink-182 album and was the follow-up to their massive 1999 breakout effort, Enema of the State. It spawned singles in "First Date," "The Rock Show" and "Stay Together for the Kids," and became the first blink album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200.

The Linda Lindas premiere new single, 'Burning Out'

The Lindas Lindas have premiered a new single called "Burning Out."

"'Burning Out' felt so simultaneously new and nostalgic for us," says guitarist Lucia de la Garza in a statment. "I think that was super fitting for me especially, because I had just graduated high school and I was feeling very surrounded by change."

De la Garza continues, "We went on a week-long writing retreat in Palm Springs less than a month after graduation, and that's where we wrote this song about feeling like the world is passing you by. Knowing that my friends would all be going to college in the fall, it made sense my head was in a very nostalgic place."

You can watch the video for "Burning Out" on YouTube.

"Burning Out" follows The Linda Lindas' 2024 sophomore album, No Obligation.

You can catch The Linda Lindas live playing shows with Bleachers in September. They're also performing at Tom Morello's Power to the People festival in October.

Amy Lee teases Evanescence's 'biggest show we've ever had' with 'Sanctuary' tour

Evanescence will hit the road Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida, on a tour in support of the band's new album, Sanctuary. As Amy Lee tells ABC Audio, fans attending the trek can expect "the biggest show we've ever had."

"It's a lot of fun, it's a lot of work," Lee says. "We have a lot of new songs to learn. We're playing pretty much the whole new album, along with lots of other songs. It's gonna be probably our longest set."

Whatever songs she's singing, Lee's main goal with the tour is to "make people happy."

"I wanna bring some good to this time," Lee says. "Give people a place of release, to fill up, to charge up, spiritually, emotionally, and feel empowered when they walk away."

"We're just trying to make something really good," she adds. "I think we are. I'm very excited."

Lee's recruited a bunch of friends to help spread that joy, including Spiritbox and Poppy, who are opening the tour's U.S. and European legs, respectively. Both Spiritbox's Courtney LaPlante and Poppy sang with Lee on their collaborative 2025 hit, "End of You," though the trio won't all be on the same bill together for any of the Evanescence shows.

Still, Lee teases she'll be sharing a special moment with her openers onstage.

"I wish I had Courtney and Poppy on the same show so we could do, like, an epic 'End of You' moment," Lee laughs. "That hasn't quite worked out, but we'll definitely be doing something together." 

Sanctuary is out now. It includes the singles "Who Will You Follow" and "Afterlife."

Tour season: 'Excited' Noah Kahan says his new live show 'just sounds so good'

Noah Kahan will kick off The Great Divide Tour with opening act Gigi Perez on Thursday in Orlando, Florida, and he says fans should expect an "insane" show.

"We've been rehearsing, it sounds awesome. I'm really excited," Noah told ABC Audio in April, hours before the new album dropped. "It's a whole new show, the production is insane ... we added a new band member ... it just sounds so good. I'm so excited."

In terms of the setlist, Noah said he won't forget all the songs that fans have loved from him in the past.

"We have a lot of new music in there, but we're definitely making sure that we keep people happy with older songs," he told ABC Audio. "And I know how big of a part of my career Stick Season was, so we're honoring that for sure, but also playing a lot of the new songs. It flows together very well."

And fans can also take comfort in the fact that, in putting together the setlist, Noah will likely have taken into account which songs on The Great Divide they've been most enthusiastic about.

As he told ABC Audio in April, "I'm also excited to hear what people really connect to in the album, to decide what we should play." 

The North American leg of Noah's world tour is completely sold out, including four shows at Boston's Fenway Park. He's the first artist ever to sell out four nights at that iconic venue. The North American leg wraps Aug. 31 in Seattle; in September, he kicks off the overseas leg in Australia and New Zealand. He then heads to the U.K. and Europe, finishing in Paris in December.

Mgk got 'really sick' amid getting blackout tattoo: 'My skin was turning yellow

Mgk's experience getting a blackout tattoo was not an easy one.

Speaking with Billboard Canada, the "bloody valentine" artist opens up about the health issues he faced while getting his entire upper body inked in black, which he first debuted in 2024.

"After the first week, we hit my lymph nodes around my armpits and shoulders, and I got really sick," mgk says. "My skin was turning yellow. I wasn't able to sleep. I stopped being able to move certain parts of my upper body."

The complications stemmed from mgk's desire to get the ink done in a much shorter time frame than the two years tattoo artist ROXX, who created the piece, said it would take.

"She warned me that it was going to be near impossible, even from a pain tolerance standpoint," mgk says. "I said, 'yeah, we got two months.'"

In persevering through the end of the piece, mgk says he "came out the other side extremely inspired."

"Not just because of what I had done, but because of what I had to overcome," he says.

Mgk is currently touring North America in support of his latest album, 2025's lost americana. He's since put out a new song called "FIX UR FACE" with Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and an EP titled blog era boyz with Wiz Khalifa.
