Looking back at Green Day's incredible headline set at Download 2025 🎸

Some nights just stay with you. Green Day took over Download and turned a field full of punks, metalheads and first-timers into one giant singalong.

Billie Joe Armstrong owned that stage from the first chord, all swagger, grins and sky-high arm swings, with the crowd in the palm of his hand. Mike Dirnt was rock solid on bass, prowling the stage with that unmistakable cool, while Tré Cool kept the whole thing thundering along from behind the kit.

Decades on from their punk beginnings, they still play every song like it's the last night on earth. Pure energy, huge choruses and a real sense of joy.

🤠🎸 New Music Review: Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard – "Backbone"

"Backbone" by Joseph Turner & The Dudes of Hazard is a gritty, foot-stomping piece of Delta-infused roots rock that turns grit and perseverance into an infectious anthem. Anchored by a steady work-song cadence, driving acoustic guitar strumming, and raw harmonica, the track channels the earthy friction of dark Americana with a loose, communal swagger. Rather than taking a heavy-handed approach to hard times, the band infuses the narrative with charm, humor, and a spirited, road-worn energy that feels entirely genuine. The result is an uplifting, unvarnished acoustic-rock pick-me-up that invites you to dig in, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward.

🌑🎸 New Music Review: Paco Holguin – "Black Sky"

"Black Sky" by Paco Holguin is a stark, moody piece of acoustic songwriting that builds its power through pure atmosphere. Driven by stark guitar picking and Holguin's deep, gravelly vocals, the track carries a heavy, gothic-country feel from the very first chord. It thrives on a brooding, slow-burn tension, using minimalist arrangements to let the bleak, cinematic storytelling take center stage. The result is an evocative, haunting track that leans into quiet emotional weight rather than big rock riffs, leaving a lasting impact through its stark simplicity.
