Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods make a huge comeback as they announce first new album in six years
Hilltop Hoods are making a huge comeback. The legendary Australian hip hop group have announced they will be releasing their first new album in six years. The Aussie rap stars shared the exciting news to social media on Wednesday, revealing Fall From The Light will be released on August 1. 'This album has been an exercise in patience. Six years is a long time between albums, but there's a good reason for that,' they wrote. They added the long wait allowed the group to produce some of the best work of their career. 'There was a lot happening, in the world and in our lives. But it turns out (from my perspective anyway), that time was the album's strength, not weakness,' they said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We've never been so thorough, so pedantic with an album before. The result is something that's been carefully crafted with an extreme attention to detail. 'It's an album we're really proud of, and a body of music we can't wait to share with everyone.' Many of their 198,000 followers took to the comment section to express their excitement. 'That's awesome. Hopefully a tour announcement soon,' one person wrote. 'This is so cool!!! Cannot wait boys!' a second added. Hilltop Hoods have release nine studio albums since forming in Adelaide in 1994. In 2019, the band revealed they simply couldn't afford to take their show overseas despite their massive success Down Under. Member Matt Lambert told The Daily Telegraph of their elaborate Australian stage age: 'What we put on here is so big now.' 'If we took the big show overseas we would have to sell all of our houses to be able to afford it,' he added. Lambert, also known as MC Suffa, added that the group's mainstream fame had taken them from outsiders to contenders. 'We definitely don't feel as much of an outsider as we used to,' he told the paper of being a rare Aussie hip hop act. 'We used to feel almost like some kind of novelty.' The group is made up of founding members MC Suffa (Lambert) and MC Pressure (Daniel Smith) and is backed up by DJ Debris (Barry Francis). Their prior studio album, 2014's Walking Under Stars, hit number one in Australia and was certified double platinum. In February 2019, the group supported Eminem on his Australian and New Zealand concert tour. The hip-hop group has won eight ARIA Awards and are regarded as Australia's most successful homegrown hip hop act.

Pulp Reveal Passionate New Song 'Got to Have Love': Stream
The post Pulp Reveal Passionate New Song 'Got to Have Love': Stream appeared first on Consequence. Pulp have returned with the rollicking new song 'Got to Have Love.' It's the second offering from More, the English group's first new album in 24 years, out on June 6th. With dramatic strings, disco-lite backing vocals, and a snare-heavy drum beat courtesy of Nick Banks, 'Got to Have Love' is Pulp's passionate argument for loving ourselves and one another. 'When love disappears, life disappears,' mutters Jarvis Cocker in earnest as the song's patient bridge unfolds, eventually building to some cathartic instructions about acknowledging our implicit need for love. Get Pulp Tickets Here 'So learn to say it, whilst keeping a straight face. Yeah, say it, say it for once. It's time to come to your senses, it's time to wake up and face the consequences. What do you need? I'm asking you a question, every one of you without exception, what do you need? Speak up! I mean, do you even know how to spell it? Well, I'll spell it for you…,' Cocker says before spelling out 'L-O-V-E.' The genuine emphasis on love and its transformative power is purposeful for Cocker and co. 'Love is a word I was unable to say until I was approaching 40,' Cocker wrote in a press release. 'I listened to love songs all the time but couldn't use the word in real life. The words to this song are me having a word with myself about this state of affairs. I gave myself a real talking-to. I have now learnt how to say it whilst keeping a straight face. You've got to have love. Oh yes you have.' To help drive home the utopian potential of that oh-so-important L-word, Pulp have paired 'Got to Have Love' with a powerful music video exhibiting footage from a 1977 Wigan Casino documentary. Throughout, dancers surrender to the moment, show off their best moves, and bask in the freeing power of dance. 'Wouldn't you love to be able to dance like this?' the video asks. 'Guess what? You can. Try it. Right now.' It's a pretty convincing sentiment. Watch the video below. 'Got to Have Love' follows April's 'Spike Island,' Pulp's first new song in 12 years and the lead single off More. The new album, which serves as their first without founding bassist Steve Mackey after he passed away in 2023, arrives on June 6th via Rough Trade. Pre-orders are ongoing. The band will support More with a major slate of 2025 tour dates, including a North American trek and a pair of co-headlining dates with LCD Soundsystem. The band's stateside run kicks off on September 4th in Atlanta, and continues through the month; see Pulp's 2025 tour dates below and get tickets here.

ARASHI to bid farewell after 2026 concert tour
7 May - After more than two decades together, the members of ARASHI announced that they are finally disbanding, but not before going on a tour next spring. Sharing the bittersweet news on X on 6 May, the group stated, "For about a year and a half now, the five of us have regularly gotten together to discuss the idea of working as ARASHI again. However, it was not easy to find an answer to how to do this, as the environment surrounding us has changed, in addition to each of our individually changed circumstances compared to before." "Such being the case, after much time and repeated conversations, we came to the conclusion that we should all come together as ARASHI, hold a concert that would allow us to express our thanks directly with the kind of in-person performance our Corona concert did not allow for, and then end our activities as a group. We could not imagine resuming our activities only to go on a hiatus yet again." ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement As for concert tickets, ARASHI said that they will temporarily suspend new applications for membership so that priority can be given to current fan club members. "With the end of ARASHI's activities, our family club will also close in May 2026, but we will continue to deliver as much content as possible throughout this next year for your fun and enjoyment, and will resume accepting new family club memberships as soon as possible so that even those who are not members already can enjoy the videos and more." The group, consisting of Aiba Masaki, Jun Matsumoto, Kazunari Ninomiya, Satoshi Ohno and Sho Sakurai, made their debut in November 1999. The group went on to become one of the most successful Japanese idol groups of their time, but went on an indefinite hiatus after Ohno expressed desire to take a break from showbiz. They were also scheduled to go on tour in 2020, but had to cancel the plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The band went on indefinite hiatus back in 2020 (Photo Source: Arashi X)
