From Grunge to Gourmet: Bush Frontman Gavin Rossdale Talks Hits, Food, and Fashion
In 2023, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale sat down with Alan Cross to talk about the release of the band's greatest hits record, Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994–2023. The English rock band formed back in 1992 and has steadily been releasing hits ever since. So, the big question here is: why put out a compilation of hits now?
Rossdale answers, 'the way that music is digested now. The turnover is more consistent…it's a really good opportunity to celebrate what you've done over thirty years and have a fresh start for the next year and build up the next greatest hits record.'

This moment seems to have brought on a new perspective of fandom for Rossdale. He says, 'it's like, amazing because these shows, the room is just filled with people with nothing but memories and their entire life history is somehow reflected in these songs…it's quite magical. I wasn't prepared for that.' This experience has introduced him to fans from all generations—even meeting a 'cool' grandmother who came to one of their shows with her grandson.

Police retract ‘premature' hate crime denial in Jonathan Joss shooting
San Antonio police have retracted their statement claiming there was no evidence indicating that the fatal shooting of Jonathan Joss was a hate crime, saying their initial declaration was 'premature.' Joss, best known for voicing John Redcorn on animated comedy King of the Hill, was shot dead outside his home in San Antonio on Sunday. His neighbour, 56-year-old Sigfredo Alvarez Ceja, has since been arrested on a murder charge.

He was booked on suspicion of murder of Jonathan Joss, a voice actor on the television show 'King of the Hill.'. Bexar County Sheriff's Office / Getty Images The cause of death was 'injuries sustained after multiple gun shots,' police confirmed. Story continues below advertisement In a statement the following day, San Antonio police said that 'despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation.' SAPD Homicide is currently investigating the murder of Mr. Jonathan Joss. Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that the Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation. — San Antonio PD (@SATXPolice) June 2, 2025 The statement caused widespread anger and upset, particularly with Joss' widower, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, who said he believes his husband's killing was because of his sexual orientation.

I won't stop fighting for what I know is right and for my love.' On Thursday, Police Chief William P. McManus retracted the force's initial comments. 'Shouldn't have done it. [It] was way too soon before we had real information, and I will own that,' McManus said in reference to making the statement. 'It was way too early in the process for any statement of that nature to be issued. 'We understand that many in the LGBTQ+ community are feeling anxious and concerned. A lot of it has to do with that premature statement that we released, and again, I own that. Shouldn't have done it.' In Texas, hate crimes are not charged as a separate offence, but rather as an enhancement to the penalties for the underlying crime, McManus explained. 'We gather the facts and we give those facts to the district attorney's office, and that hate crime designation is determined at sentencing, but we don't charge hate crime.' Story continues below advertisement According to police records obtained by NBC, Joss and Kern de Gonzalez had encountered issues with their neighbours before the fatal shooting. According to the outlet, Kern de Gonzalez says he and his husband were bombarded with homophobic slurs from their neighbours, often resulting in calls to the police made both by Joss and others in his neighbourhood. McManus said on Thursday that in the past two years, his department had received 70 calls involving neighbourhood spats. The police chief said the mental health unit had 'extensive engagements with Mr. Joss, making repeated efforts to remediate conflicts and connect him with services he may have needed.' The investigation into Joss' death is ongoing.

New Music Friday: 8 new releases for your weekend (06 June 2025)
Along with a selection of new singles, this New Music Friday marks the return of Pulp and what should be a massive album from Turnstile. Note all the Cancon, too. Check it out. Singles 1. The Lumineers, A**hole (First We Ever Met) (Dualtone Records) This is the uncensored version of the new single (when you heard it on the radio, it'll be referred to as First We Ever Met) from their fifth album, Automatic. They're currently getting ready for a North American tour next month which will include a two-night stand in Toronto in September. More Canadian dates are on the way. Story continues below advertisement 2. Kathleen Edwards, Save Your Soul (Dualtone Records) Kathleen is one of Canada best (and most fun) singer-songwriters. A new album entitled Billionaire will arrive on August 20, a project produced by Grammy winners Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson. As for the title, Kathleen says, 'We should all want to be billionaires in life, to be rich in experience, friendship, purpose, and the pursuit of the things that bring us joy.' Summer concert dates are coming for Ontario and Nova Scotia with more Canadian dates coming soon. 3. Ekkstasy, Forever (Dine Alone) Get daily National news Get the day's top news, political, economic, and current affairs headlines, delivered to your inbox once a day. Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy Khyree Zienty (aka Ekkstasy) is a Vancouver-born singer-songwriter with an indie-pop sound that often veers into poist-punk, punk rap, and even hyperpop. This the new official single–it runs a tight 140 seconds–from his third album, also entitled Forever, which arrived on May 16. Story continues below advertisement Albums 1. Born Ruffians, Beauty's Pride (Wavy Hazy/Yep Roc) Originally from Midland, Ontario, but now based out of Toronto, this is the band's ninth album since they were formed in the midst of the indie rock revival of the early 2000s. The producer is Gus Van Vo, who has worked with The Beaches, Metric, Arkells, Sam Roberts Band, The Trews, and many others. Story continues below advertisement 2. Pulp, More (Rough Trade) This is easily one of the most-anticipated albums of 2025. After years of vowing to never reunited, one of Britpop's biggest bands is back with their first album since 2021. And it is a killer. Pay attention. 3. Turnstile, Never Enough (Roadrunner) Turnstile is from Baltimore and one of the leaders of the current resurgence in emo. The audio of this record has a companion visual album that premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival and showed up in select theatres yesterday (June 5) for one-night-only screenings. The band took a big, BIG swing with this record and it should pay off. I expect this to be a major album through the summer and fall. Story continues below advertisement 4. Volbeat, God of Angels Trust (Republic) Coming out of Copenhagen in 2001, this is Volbeat's ninth album, a record you should pay attention to if for nothing beyond the title of this single, In the Barn of the Goat Giving Birth to Satan's Spawn in a Dying World of Doom. Once you've completed that task, try Better Be Fueled Than Tamed and Demonic Depression. 5. Finn Wolfhard, Happy Birthday (AWAL Recordings) The Canadian kid from Stranger Things is also an accomplished musician, having already appeared the bands Calpurnia and The Aubreys. This is his debut solo album. Opt for the deluxe edition and you'll get a hardcover book and a poster.
