A Day To Remember new music
Just a few months ahead of the tour announcement, A Day To Remember unveiled their eighth studio album 'Big Ole Album Vol. 1.'
As always, the group oscillates between melodic pop, angsty punk and full-on metal, which creates a sense of whiplash while listening. There's little room to breathe but that's not necessary when a record is as much of a shot of adrenaline as 'Big Ole Album Vol. 1' is.
Highlights here include the fist-pumping rocker 'Feedback,' melodic country-esque ode to buddies 'All My Friends' and invigorating 'LeBron.'
All that being said, others may have a totally different interpretation of the record depending on taste. Our favorites here lean punk- some listeners may prefer the heavy metal. ADTR really caters to totally different audiences and that's part of what makes them so special.

Yellowcard new music
Ahead of the release of 'Better Days,' Yellowcard has dropped a pair of hard-charging singles.
The title track 'Better Days' kicks things off with a bit of feedback before launching into the group's anthemic sound — soaring vocals and rockin' guitar — and hit overdrive. It's a delight.
Up next, 'honestly i' is a bit more unconventional with its shaky accordian-like sound off the top. Speedy percussions steady the operation and by a minute in, the song returns to classic Yellowcard territory.
To hear for yourself, you can find both tracks here.
'Maximum Fun Tour' special guests
In the off chance you need to brush up on the opening acts' respective sounds, here's each artist's most-streamed song on Spotify.

Brandon Blackstock's final photograph shows him smiling alongside pregnant daughter
Brandon Blackstock's final photograph shows him smiling alongside his pregnant daughter Savannah Lee. The 48-year-old talent manager, who lived in Montana, died last month following a three-year battle with cancer, leaving his singer wife Kelly Clarkson devastated. Now, in what is believed to be the final photograph taken of him before his death, Brandon has been revealed to have appeared happy before his passing. His daughter captioned the snap by saying she was 'back home to the mountains and my daddy'. A statement announcing Brandon's death said he had been diagnosed with melanoma and had recently entered hospice care before 'passing away peacefully' surrounded by family. On 20 July, Savannah, 23, posted what is thought to be the final image of him on Facebook. In it, both she and Brandon wore casual black clothing and smiled for the camera. Brandon rested one arm around his daughter's shoulders while propping one leg on a picnic bench, wearing a baseball cap and Ugg boots. Savannah, who is expecting her second child, posed with one hand in her pocket, leaning into her father. A few weeks earlier, Savannah – who has a three-year-old son – announced on Instagram she was pregnant again. She said: 'My little girl will be making her arrival at the beginning of January. 'This journey has been so special full of peace, excitement, and so much grace.' She also thanked God for being 'so faithful' and said: 'His kindness in this season has left (us) in awe.' Brandon shared Savannah and her brother Seth Blackstock with his first wife, Melissa Ashworth, whom he married in 2001 and divorced in 2012. He was later married to Kelly Clarkson from 2013 to 2022, with whom he had two children – daughter River, 11, and son Remington, nine. A spokesperson said about his death: 'It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away. 'He bravely battled cancer for more than three years. He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family. We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and ask everyone to respect the family's privacy during this very difficult time.' The day before Brandon's death, Kelly, 43, announced she was cancelling the remaining August dates of her Las Vegas residency, saying she needed to be 'fully present' for their children as her ex-husband was 'ill'. The former couple's last red carpet appearance together was in January 2020 at the Critics' Choice Awards. Clarkson filed for divorce five months later.

What kept Kelly Clarkson going during ex-husband Brandon Blackstock's ‘devastating' cancer fight
'Workhorse' Kelly Clarkson kept going during her ex Brandon Blackstock's private three-year cancer battle because she had no other choice. The Grammy winner, 43, not only had a syndicated daily talk show to deliver, but she was also gearing up to launch her Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace in July, just weeks before his shocking death. Blackstock passed away at age 48 on Thursday, August 7, after suffering from melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. 14 Kelly Clarkson performing at the Citi Concert Series for the 'Today' Show in New York on May 6.

Insiders reveal it was those staff members who kept Clarkson going through the hardest time of her life. 'A big part of it was making her schedule available for transporting the children to visit Brandon, and all of the emotions that came with this difficult time,' the insider told Us Weekly, referring to her mysterious 'Kelly Clarkson Show' 10-episode absence earlier this year. 14 Kelly Clarkson returned to her talk show after a 10-episode absence in March.

She hates disappointing people, truly. The thing that kept her going was knowing how many people depend on her, like her crews and employees,' they disclosed. Clarkson, who postponed the remaining August shows of her Las Vegas residency this week, is set to return to work next month. While her residency isn't scheduled to pick back up until November, sources said 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' is still scheduled to return for Season 7 in September. 14 Kelly Clarkson performing during the 'Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions' on July 11, 2025, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

'Thankfully, the Blackstocks have come really close together in this time, so they would be happy to be there for the kids.' Blackstock is survived by his three siblings and four children. Before marrying Clarkson, he welcomed daughter Savannah, 23, and son Seth, 18, with his first wife, Melissa Ashworth. 14 Brandon Blackstock died on August 7 after a three-year battle with cancer.

From Starbucks to Smoothie King, restaurants seek to cash in on consumers' protein frenzy
Restaurant chains are joining in on the protein frenzy, hoping to encourage diners to pay more for extra macronutrients during a time when many consumers aren't spending as much. From "gym bros" to users of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, many Americans are trying to add more protein to their diets, with the goal of building or maintaining their muscle mass and feeling more satiated after meals. Moreover, diet trends that don't emphasize protein intake, such as the ketogenic diet, have fallen out of favor. "A lot of younger consumers are more proactive about their health habits, so they're looking for ways to support health now but also to support their health in the future," said Julia Mills, a food and drink analyst for market research firm Mintel. "Generation Alpha, Gen Z, millennials — these consumers are very active on social media, so they're constantly being fed this message that you need more protein, and protein helps you gain muscle and makes you stronger." Roughly a third of consumers said they loved high protein in the second quarter of 2025, up from 24% three years ago, according to Datassential, which tracks restaurant menus and consumer preferences. The trend has fueled a protein takeover in grocery store aisles, from protein-packed Eggo waffles to Khloe Kardashian's Khloud protein popcorn. But it's also hitting the menus of restaurants that are seeking ways to encourage diners to pay for premium food and drinks. Take Starbucks, for example. The coffee giant said in late July that it will roll out a cold foam packed with 15 grams of protein later this year; the regular cold foam add-on typically costs customers an extra $1.25 per drink. The new foam comes as the chain's U.S. sales have been shrinking for the past year as coffee drinkers brew their java at home or seek out trendier options. Rival Dutch Bros launched a protein coffee in early 2024 and charges customers an extra $1 for the customization. The menu addition fueled strong same-store sales growth and profits for the upstart chain. Eateries are seeking to attract diners like Jared Hutkowski, a 42-year-old director of brokerage in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He works out six days a week and tries to hit his daily protein goal to improve his physique and overall health. When he dines out, he tries to maximize his protein, although he sometimes goes for pizza anyway. "The biggest factor is what I am in the mood for that day, and then I normally try and select a meal that has a least a serving of some type of protein in it," Hutkowski said. This year, 28.4% of U.S. restaurant menus call out "protein," up from 5.9% a decade ago, according to Datassential. And the trend looks like it has staying power. Datassential predicts that by 2029, more than 40% of eateries will highlight protein on their menus. "Protein is one of those things that's never been vilified, because no one's ever said that eating too much protein can be bad for you," Mintel's Mills said. In the short term, consuming more protein than your body needs likely won't cause health issues, but in the long term, it could cause kidney problems, according to Diane Han, a registered dietitian based in San Francisco and the founder of Woking Balance Wellness. The recommended daily amount of protein intake varies by body weight but is roughly 46 grams for women and 56 grams for men, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For restaurants, protein's step change happened several years ago. In 2021, protein only had a menu penetration of 11.5%; by 2022, more than a quarter of restaurant menus used the term, based on Datassential data. That year, Dine Brands' IHOP, for example, introduced pancakes with 18 grams of protein per flapjack. Fast-casual eateries are the restaurant segment most likely to call out protein on their menus, thanks to the common practice of asking customers to pick their protein or offering to double their portion, according to Datassential. Fast-casual salad chain Sweetgreen introduced a line of "protein plates" in late 2023 as part of an effort to introduce more hearty options for dinner customers. The menu addition has helped the company grow its dinner business from 35% of sales to about 40%, executives said in March. Many restaurants are also leaning into U.S. consumers' desire for convenience. Accessibility may be why Datassential found that consumers tend to prefer protein-packed beverages. For Smoothie King, protein has been a menu staple since its founding more than 50 years ago. But in October, the chain took one step further, launching a menu aimed at consumers who take GLP-1 drugs for weight loss or diabetes. The rapid weight loss that can occur from the medications can cause muscle mass to drop, so doctors often advise patients to increase their protein intake to maintain their muscle. "It's a convenient, on-the-go way to get in your protein that you're looking for in your diet," said Lori Primavera, Smoothie King's vice president of research and development and product marketing. Many restaurants are also choosing to highlight existing protein-packed options, rather than adding new menu items that would slow down kitchens or add to much complexity to their operations. For example, Panda Express introduced its own protein plates earlier this year. The line, created in partnership with a registered dietitian, includes pre-existing menu items but packages them as a balanced meal, highlighting protein and fiber content. Chipotle Mexican Grill employed a similar strategy back in 2019 when it introduced "lifestyle bowls," marketed to fit different dietary goals, like the paleo diet or offering double protein. Likewise, in July, Chick-fil-A put the spotlight on its own high-protein options in a company blog, highlighting its grilled nuggets and the Cool Wrap, which features a grilled chicken breast, cheese and lettuce in a tortilla. But for the eateries that want to add new menu items, nachos with a choice of protein, restaurant-made protein bars and egg dishes that highlight high protein content are all increasingly popular options, according to Datassential trendologist Claire Conaghan. Eggs are one reason why breakfast, brunch and lunch eatery First Watch has always been "protein forward," CEO Chris Tomasso told CNBC. The chain hasn't adjusted its menu specifically to address consumers' demand for more protein, but TikTok influencers have highlighted how to order a high-protein meal when visiting its restaurants. "We hope that continues to be a trend because we're right down the middle of the fairway on that," Tomasso said. Of course, protein isn't the only way to win over health-conscious consumers. Hutkowski said his primary issue with eating at restaurants is that most of the food is cooked in oils, butter and heavy greases that rapidly add to his intake of fats for the day. "A restaurant finding cleaner ways to cook would be much more attractive to me than overly loaded protein dishes," he said.
