Architects Announce 2025 Australian Tour With House Of Protection & PRESIDENT
Set to tear through Melbourne's Festival Hall (Dec 11), Sydney's Hordern Pavilion (Dec 13) and Brisbane's Riverstage (Dec 14), this'll be the band's first Aussie headline tour since their blistering 2022 shows — and they're bringing a couple of absolute powerhouses with them for the ride: US art-rock shapeshifters House of Protection and enigmatic new heavy/electronic act, PRESIDENT.
The tour follows the release of Architects' 11th studio album (yep, eleven) — a genre-blurring, Jordan Fish-produced beast that debuted at #8 on the ARIA album chart.
Having spent the past two years touring with Metallica, the Brighton-bred crew are set to bring stadium-level live chops to Australia's East Coast. Joining them will be House of Protection, the much-hyped project featuring members of Fever 333, The Chariot and Night Verses, whose new EP Outrun You All is turning heads with its chaotic blend of art-rock, hardcore and digital noise.
Rounding out the lineup is PRESIDENT, an anonymous outfit dealing in cinematic gloom, who've racked up millions of streams off the back of just two single releases.

Soccer Mommy Covers Pavement's ‘Gold Soundz' for ‘Like a Version'
Soccer Mommy (a.k.a. Sophie Allison) has shared a stellar rendition of Pavement's 'Gold Soundz' as part of her recent appearance on Like a Version, the long-running covers segment from Australian radio station triple j. Recorded during Allison's recent Australian tour in June, the two-song set began with a standard original, which in this case was 'Abigail,' the final single from Soccer Mommy's 2024 album Evergreen.

Hosting Gig By Chokeslamming Logan Paul Through His Desk The cover portion of the set saw Allison and her band turn their attention to 1994, sharing a bittersweet version of 'Gold Soundz' – the second single from Pavement's second LP, Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. 'I chose this song 'cause I love Pavement,' Allison said in a post-performance interview. 'I'm a huge Pavement fan. I've actually covered another Pavement song before, but I just always really liked this one and I thought it fit my voice nicely. 'I think it's just really catchy. It gets stuck in your head,' she added. 'It has a nice melody and nice guitar parts. I really like the jangliness of the guitars in this song. I think that's what drew me to it.' Indeed, Allison has certainly shown her love of Pavement in the past. In 2022, Soccer Mommy was invited to perform at Pavements 1933 to 2022, the indie rock outfit's New York City pop-up museum, where she shared covers of 'Here,' 'Gold Soundz,' and 'Spit on a Stranger.' The following year, Soccer Mommy's Karaoke Night EP featured covers of Taylor Swift, Slowdive, Sheryl Crow, and R.E.M., while opening with a recorded rendition of Pavement's 'Here.' 'I do love Pavement,' Allison continued. 'I really, really love Pavement. I first discovered Pavement when I was in high school, and that's kind of when I got really into them, and especially Slanted and Enchanted was my favorite album. But I've just always really liked them. 'It was one of those bands that I got into in high school and never grew out of, and particularly there's a little bit of a renaissance right now with them kind of touring again and doing stuff together. So I think that's why it's fresh in the mind.' Pavement have been sporadically active since their 2022 reunion, with a run of international tour dates taking place since. More recently, they've also been the subject of the aptly-titled Pavements, an experimental semi-fictional biopic directed by Alex Ross Perry which was officially released in June. For his part, Perry has expressed his love of Soccer Mommy's nascent cover, commenting on triple j's Instagram post of the track, 'I extremely support this.' Having first launched in 2004, the Like a Version series has gone from being a near-impromptu acoustic affair to featuring larger studio productions. Numerous artists have taken part over the past two decades, with the likes of Billie Eilish, Childish Gambino, Arctic Monkeys, and more reinventing classic tracks in the process.

Saweetie Wants ‘Boffum' on Bouncy New Single & Announces ‘Hella Pressure' EP Release Date
Why have only one when you can get 'Boffum?' Saweetie returned on Friday (July 18) to heat up the summer with her bouncy single 'Boffum.' The Bay Area native wants to have the block parties turned up and night club dance floors filled with the slinky J. White Did It-produced banger. She implores her Icy Girls to know their worth and how they should never settle for less in life. More from Billboard Flume Teams With Emma Louise for New Collaborative Album, 'DUMB' Soccer Mommy Covers Pavement's 'Gold Soundz' for 'Like a Version' Alex Warren Brings 'Ordinary' Home on Debut Album 'You'll Be Alright, Kid': Stream It Now 'Rapper, athlete I need 'boffum'/ Don't you ask me just get 'boffum'/ How many on me? Like four of 'em/ I keep a secret no tea I don't know nothing/ Take a shot, peel off in a four-runner/ All my haters f—ked up, need a Gofundme,' she confidently raps. Saweetie has laid relatively low on the music front in 2025, as 'Boffum' serves as her first solo release of the year. However, things are about to change for Diamonté. While her much-delayed Pretty Bitch Music debut album remains elusive, Saweetie announced plans for her HELLA PRESSURE EP, which is slated to arrive on Aug. 1 via Warner Records and comes in the midst of her upcoming four-date Australia tour run. 'I feel like it will really encompass who I've grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell,' she told Billboard in February about her upcoming music. Outside of her own music, Saweetie became a brand ambassador for Paris Hilton's NYX Professional Makeup line. The 32-year-old was also part of the NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show in February, which saw her perform alongside E-40, Too Short and En Vogue for DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic Live Bay Area celebration.

No longer sober: Gen Z has become a boozy generation— this is to blame, study says
They're Gen Boozey. Zoomers have historically been labeled a fairly abstinent generation. But now, the generation born between 1997 and 2012 are bucking their party pooper stereotype by increasing their alcohol consumption as cost of living pressures ease, per a buzzy study by global beverage market research firm IWSR Bevtrac. 'The idea that Gen Z LDA+ (legal drinking age) drinkers are choosing to moderate significantly more than other generations doesn't hold up,' Richard Halstead, IWSR's chief operating officer of consumer insights, told Newsweek. This shocking study contrasts with prior data over the past several years, which found that Gen Z was drinking far less alcohol than previous generations. Their Z-totalling ways famously prompted an increase in sober gatherings and alcohol-free bars across New York City. To determine the rates of hooch intake across generations, the researchers surveyed more than 26,000 people across the 15 biggest alcoholic drink markets: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, France, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Taiwan, the UK and the US. The survey found that 73% of Gen Zers aged 21-27 had admitted to consuming alcohol in the past six months, compared to 66% two years prior — the biggest increase of any generation, The Financial Times reported. This uptick was magnified in the US, soaring from 46% to 70%. What prompted Gen Z's increased fascination with libations? Halstead claimed that Zoomers didn't suddenly acquire the taste, but rather they now have more disposable income to burn on booze than in years prior — when they were more cash-strapped due to inflation and the fact that fewer were employed. 'We know that beverage alcohol consumption correlates with disposable income, and Gen Z came of age during a cost-of-living crisis, he explained, per the Times Of London. 'Rising prices have been especially acute in bars and restaurants — places that appeal most to Gen Z drinkers.' Halstead added, 'With every year that passes, more Gen Z drinkers are entering the workforce, and those already in the workforce are typically earning more.' That being said, 20-somethings remain marginally less likely to drink than most other generations. By contrast, the so-called booziest generation, the Baby Boomers, appear to be cutting back. The proportion of 60-and-over respondents who admitted to consuming booze over the past six months dropped to 72% — a one percent decrease from two years ago. In addition, Zoomer boozers were more likely to imbibe spirits, consume a wider variety of alcoholic beverages, and also drink at bars, restaurants or clubs than the other generations. According to the study, millennials — those aged between 28 and 44 — were the most likely to booze with 83% admitting to touching the bubbly over the past half-year. Gen Xers — those born between 1965 and 1980 — came in second at 79%. Solve the daily Crossword
