Now Joyous Wolf has released a new video for the song “Quiet Heart”, and it seems they’re poised to break out in a huge way. Could they be the next big thing in rock? 

Frontman Nick Reese certainly appears to think so. “This year has been a landmark, I think I’ll always look back at this one in my life as something really special,” he told Loudwire. “We’ve really proved it to ourselves, and I think we’ve proved it to a lot of the people around us and our peers that we are a force. We’re a train that will not stop anytime soon.”

Reese also provided some background to the meaning behind “Quiet Heart”: “I wrote it about the first time I ever really fell in love with somebody,” he shared. “You know when you’re in your early teens and it happens really hard for the first time, and you feel like if you don’t let that person know then you’re gonna explode.”

The veterans of the rock industry are currently preparing to embark on a US tour, which will feature the majority of their original line-up.

The “1979” house party will allow fans to relive the 1996 hit song and will take place in Los Angeles on June 28th. Fans will also have a chance to win a Yamaha guitar as well as a two-night stay at The Hilton, which includes return flights to Los Angeles.

This week, the band’s frontman Billy Corgan compared the 90’s grunge scene to a high school popularity contest.

“If everybody is sort of branded with the same brush, okay we can live that,” he said. “But you know, you’d see some people would be exalted and their sins were forgivable.

“It really reminded me of high school, which I didn’t like. So now I’m in the bigger high school and now we’re playing with millions of dollars and millions of people, and it’s just like a popularity contest. And it brought out maybe the worst or the best in my personality, which was like, ‘I’m gonna take this on and I’m gonna use myself as the battering ram so I’m gonna make it about me, knowing it’s not about me.’”

Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker from the band both posted teasers on Snapchat of the band in the studio. Hoppus posted a snap of Barker drumming and captioned the image “New Blink-182 Songs, Day One.”

Barker went on to post a picture of himself and Hoppus staring into the eyes of each other, and it appeared that they were both happy with the material that they are churning out.

The last album the band released was 2016’s California, which was largely positively received.

California was the first Blink 182 album to feature vocals form Matt Skiba, who replaced Tom Delonge.

Blink 182 are widely considered to be one of the best pop-punk bands of all-time and have released hits such as “All The Small Things,” “Rock Show,” “What’s My Age Again” and “Feeling this.”

The band are not the force that they were during their heyday in the early 2000’s, but they can still put up a good rock show and release good material as they proved in 2016 with California.

Astley joined the Foo Fighters on stage as they covered “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana before they broke into Astley’s hit “Never Gonna Give You Up.”

While recalling what happened, Astley said: “Dave Grohl came over and said hello, gave me a hug, and then half an hour later he’s inviting me onto the stage.

“I never met them [before], I have no idea why he’d invite me onstage,” he continued. “I didn’t know what it was all about. And then he just kind of whispered and said, ‘We’re doing your tune, but we’re gonna do it like Teen Spirit,’ and that was it. And off we went.”

Astley hinted last year that he could also do a collaboration with Foo Fighters: “I am going to try and write with some other people because I want to experience that.”

In the wake of the #MeToo movement, which gained momentum last year in response to the large amount of sexual assault which occurs against women and goes about unreported and unpunished, Leto revealed he hopes to see more women working in the music industry as well as in the background.

He said: “I would say it’s a selfish thing because I realized that half the population of the world has probably a disproportionate amount of the talent. I grew up with a single mom who was hard working. She put herself through college and nursing school. I recognize the value of people. And there absolutely needs to be more women on the road.”

Leto is one of the most respected men in the music industry and one of the few popular musicians that has a clean-cut image. His words must be taken seriously.

Since then, Linkin Park have only played one show which was a tribute show to Bennington in October. Shinoda did, however, reveal this January that the band has “every intention” to continue.

“A week after Chester passed, the idea of the studio was scary,” Shinoda says. “And it wasn’t just the idea of attempting to make a song and being overwhelmed by those memories. There’s another layer of fear for artists in this situation that is, ‘What if I can’t make anything good [without that person]?’ Those hurdles start to accumulate, whether that’s fear or depression or the chaos of the outside world, it creates an echo chamber of anxiety.”

Shinoda revealed that he was making bad music during that period.

“I was making bad ’90s grunge songs, making bad rap songs… and then I made something good,” he says. “I’d make all these different things with no intention of putting them out, but just diving into some of the ideas that were already in my head.”
