Neal Schon may be teasing a Journey offshoot. Here's what we know
Journey guitarist Neal Schon has sparked fan speculation with a cryptic social media post that many believe to be teasing a new offshoot band. Schon shared a blue and pink-hued graphic with the words 'Journey Beyond' to social media on Saturday, Aug. 9, captioning his X post, 'Into the future.' He also appears to have filed to protect the phrase with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filing, made in April, notes that the phrase is "intended to cover the categories of musical sound recordings" including downloadable MP3 files, pre-recorded CDs and DVDs featuring music. Though it is still pending approval, Schon's recent post has excited fans of the 'Don't Stop Believin'' hitmakers, whose most recent album 'Freedom' released in 2022 after more than a decade. Many online were quick to point out that Journey Beyond was also the name of a tribute band launched by Joey Belladonna of the New York thrash metal band Anthrax, in 2020. The group was mainly focused on performing the San Francisco band's hits from the 1980s, and was later renamed Beyond Frontiers. It is unclear if Schon's Journey Beyond project is related. This isn't the first time that the musician has attempted to launch an offshoot of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band. In 2018, he created the group Journey Through Time with his Journey bandmate drummer Deen Castronovo and its former keyboardist Gregg Rolie and former bassist Marco Mendoza. Schon then released the live album 'Journey Through Time' in 2023, pulling from a 2018 benefit concert for North Bay Fire Relief in San Francisco. Journey has had a relatively quiet year, with no major tour on the books and no upcoming shows listed on its website. The band's most recent performances include its 50th anniversary tour in 2024, with no Bay Area shows, and its co-headlining tour with British rock group Def Leppard, which stopped at San Francisco's Oracle Park last August.

Watch: PinkPantheress plays chess in 'Romeo' music video
Aug. 13 (UPI) -- PinkPantheress is back with a new music video. She released the "Romeo" music video Wednesday, which shows the singer, 24, playing chess with various people at an apparent tournament in South London. "Don't let yourself fall in love," she sings as she's interviewed by a reporter. As the song continues, she dances on a large chessboard. "My babes might've lost in chess but Destin Conrad can never lose in the face," she said, referring to her love interest in the video, in an Instagram post. "Romeo" is the ninth track on her mixtape Fancy That, which arrived May 9. She recently made her late-night TV debut on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon with a performance of medley of "Illegal," "Girl Like Me" and "Tonight." She concluded her tour Sunday.
