Touched to perform two days of concerts at Kintex in Ilsan after album's release Coed rock band Touched is returning to the music scene with a new EP titled "Red Signal" on Tuesday, with preorders for the album opening Thursday. Comprising five tracks, the album includes the main track "Ruby," along with "Dynamite," "Get Back," "Cassette Tape" and "Snowball." As the name suggests, the album symbolizes strong emotional warnings and signals, like a red light signals danger, to stop or to be alert. Each song on the album is tied to a specific emotion or psychological state, using the color red as a metaphor for warning. The band recently teased a snippet of its upcoming album by performing "Ruby" and "Dynamite" at the Incheon Pentaport Rock Festival on Aug. 1. Following the album's release, the band will perform two concerts under the banner of "Attraction" on Aug. 23 and 24 at Kintex in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province. The four bandmates are also set to perform at the Busan International Rock Festival and at Vision Bangkok 2025 in the Thai capital next month.

Phil and Don Everly lit up the charts before the Beatles arrived. A new book restores their legacy
What is it about brothers? So competitive, so determined to outshine the other, so very male. In popular music, there are numerous examples of passionate sibling partnerships that have burned bright only to flame out, leaving recriminatory anger and the occasional lawsuit in their wake. The Everly brothers were no exception. Foundational pillars of 20th century popular music, they formed the first great harmony vocal duo to bridge country music and pop. Over a five year period from 1957 to 1962, the brothers recorded a series of singles — 'Wake Up Little Susie,' 'Bye Bye Love' and 'All I Have to Do Is Dream,' among them — that imprinted themselves into the pop-music canon, their soaring, wistful, close-interval harmonies gliding straight into our souls. You don't have to look too hard to find Phil and Don Everly's traces. The Beatles regarded them as the harmony group they longed to emulate; you can hear them sing a snatch of 'Bye Bye Love' in Peter Jackson's 'Get Back' documentary, and Paul McCartney name-checked them in his 1976 song 'Let 'Em In.' Simon & Garfunkel wanted to be the Everlys and included 'Bye Bye Love' on the 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' album. In 2013, Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones recorded 'Foreverly,' an album of Everly Brothers songs. And yet, biographies of them are scant. Barry Mazor's 'Blood Harmony' is long overdue, a rigorously researched narrative of the duo's fascinatingly zig-zaggy 50-plus-year career, as well as a loving valentine to the pair's enduring musical power. In his book, Mazor is quick to refute many of the myths that have accreted around the pair, starting with the backstory that the brothers were reared in Kentucky, a cradle of bluegrass, and that their dad, an accomplished guitarist and singer, nurtured them up from rural poverty into spotlight stardom. In fact, Mazor's book points out that the brothers, who were born two years apart, moved around a lot as kids — Iowa and Chicago, mostly — soaking in the musical folkways of those regions and absorbing it all into their musical bloodstream. Though they were apprenticed by their father to perform as adolescents, they were their own men, with a sophisticated grasp of various musical genres as teenagers. 'They were as much products of the Midwest as they were of Kentucky,' says Mazor from his Nashville home. 'The music they learned and the culture they absorbed was in Chicago, where they lived with their parents for a time, and they picked up on the R&B there. All of this eventually adds up to what we now call Americana, which is music that has a sense of place.' The Everlys brought that country-meets-the-city vibe to pop music. Another misconception that Mazor clears up in 'Blood Harmony' is the notion that the Beatles were the first musical group to write and play its own songs. In fact, Phil and Don wrote a clutch of the Everlys' greatest records, including Phil's 1960 composition 'When Will I Be Loved,' which became a mammoth hit when Linda Ronstadt covered it in 1975. It's also true that Don is rock's first great rhythm guitarist, his strident acoustic strum powering 'Wake Up Little Susie' and others. George Harrison was listening, as was Pete Townsend. The Everlys produced hits, many of them written by one or both of the husband-and-wife team of Felice and Boudleaux Bryant: 'Bird Dog,' 'Love Hurts,' 'Poor Jenny' and others. But the Beatles' global success became a barricade that many of the first-generation rock stars couldn't breach, including the Everlys. 'Even though they were only a couple of years older than the Beatles, they were treated as old hat,' says Mazor. Complicating matters further: A lawsuit brought by their publishing company Acuff-Rose in 1961 meant that the brothers could no longer tap the Bryants to write songs for them. The same year, they enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve and found, just as Elvis had discovered a few years prior, that military service did little to help sell records. By the time the lawsuit was settled in 1964, both brothers had descended into amphetamine abuse. The Everlys had to go back to move forward. Warner Bros. Records, their label since 1960, had become the greatest label for a new era of singer-songwriters taking country-rock to a more introspective place. Future label president Lenny Waronker, an Everlys fan, wanted to make an album that would place the brothers in their proper context, as pioneers who bridged musical worlds to create something entirely new. The resulting project, called 'Roots,' drew from the Everlys' musical heritage but also featured covers of songs by contemporary writers Randy Newman and Ron Elliott. Released in 1968, the same year as the Byrds' 'Sweetheart of the Rodeo' and the Band's 'Music from Big Pink,' 'Roots' sold meekly, but it remains a touchstone of the Everlys' career, a key progenitor of the Americana genre. ''The 'Roots' album was one last chance to show they mattered,' says Mazor. 'And there was suddenly room for them again. It wasn't a massive seller, but it opened the door.' If anything, it was their own fraught relationship that tended to snag the Everlys' progress. Their identities were as intertwined as their harmonies, and it grated on them. Mazor points out that they were in fact vastly different in temperament, Phil's pragmatic careerism running counter to Don's more free-spirited approach. This push and pull created tensions that weighed heavily on their friendship and their musical output. 'Phil was more conservative in some ways. He was content to play the supper club circuit well into '70s, while Don wanted to explore and was less willing to sell out, as it were,' says Mazor. 'And this created a wedge between them.' Perhaps inevitably, from 1973 to roughly 1983, they branched out as solo artists, making records that left little imprint on the public consciousness. They had families and eventually both moved from their L.A. home base to different cities. But there was time for one final triumph. Having briefly set their differences aside, the brothers played a reunion show at London's Royal Albert Hall in September 1983, which led to a collaboration on an album with British guitarist Dave Edmunds producing. Edmunds, in turn, asked Paul McCartney whether he would be willing to write something for the 'EB 84' album, and the result was 'On the Wings of a Nightingale,' their last U.S. hit, albeit a modest one. 'The harmony singing that the Everlys pioneered is still with us,' says Mazor. 'If you look back, the Kinks, the Beach Boys, all of these brother acts all loved the Everlys. But there's also a contemporary act called Larkin Poe, who called one of their albums 'Blood Harmony.' They set an example for how two singers can maximize their voices to create something larger than themselves. This kind of harmony still lingers.'

Yoko Ono in startling new evidence over claims she broke up The Beatles
A leading Beatles historian has opened up about Yoko Ono's role in the demise of the band amid years of speculation that her presence in the recording studio caused friction Yoko Ono was not a factor in the break-up of The Beatles despite being blamed for decades, a historian claims. Martin Lewis points to Apple TV's recent Get Back series as evidence her presence in the Beatles studio did not cause the tension between John Lennon and his bandmates many insist was behind the demise. Yoko being at the 1969 Let it Be album recordings has gone down in music folklore as the beginning of the end for the Fab Four. But Martin, who has worked with both her and Paul McCartney in recent years, said: 'The fans wanted a villain. The media likes a villain. We all do. That's natural, but not reality.' Speaking about the Apple TV series, he added: 'They are in the studio. Yoko 's there, which was unusual. They didn't normally have wives or girlfriends in the studio. Who does John relate to through the whole eight hours? He looks at Yoko once in a blue moon. His eyes are on Paul. He's with his buddy of the last 13 years. It's all about John and Paul. READ MORE: Neil Young BST Hyde Park show is dramatically CUT OFF as bosses pull the plug 'Yoko was there, she wants to be there. He's not rude. He's just not interested. He's working with his mate and having fun. The whole film gives the lie to that nonsense. It's John and Paul, but bonding, writing, having fun, reminiscing. He's polite to Yoko. "She didn't break up the Beatles. John and Paul have been together since July 57, when they were 17 and 16 respectively. They were nearly 30. That's a long time. So they were growing apart. She's not the villain.' Martin also claimed racism played its part in the treatment of Yoko and her public perception. Speaking at the LA Jewish Film Festival's opening night film Midas Man, about Beatles manager Brian Epstein, he said: 'A lot of it was racist because John was dumping his English rose wife and going off with a Japanese and an Asian woman. John made a very interesting point… up until Yoko, he was [called in the media] John. 'The minute he met Yoko, he became Lennon.' In 2023, McCartney claimed Yoko's presence in the studio caused issues between him, Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. He said: 'I don't think any of us particularly liked it. It was an interference in the workplace.' Martin claimed Yoko, 92, will not be writing a memoir to set the record straight on her lifelong negative representation. A recent book about her, Yoko, by David Sheff, said she was spending her last days 'listening to the wind' on a 600-acre farm bought with John in New York State. Daughter Kyoko Cox, 61, said of her mother: 'She believed she could change the world, and she did. Now she is able to be quiet - listen to the wind and watch the is very happy, in a happy place. This is genuine peacefulness.' In the biography, musician son Sean Lennon, 49, praises his mum for fighting adversity. Sean, who is now in charge of the family's interests in the Beatles estate, said: 'She had this ability to overcome difficulty with positive thinking. 'She really wanted to teach the world to do that. She taught my dad to do that. It's not going to stop a moving train, or a bullet. But I think there's something profound about it.' The couple met in November 1966 at London's Indica Gallery. They married in Gibraltar three years later. The Beatles split in 1970. John was murdered on the doorstep of his New York home in December 1980.
