The Dandy Warhols to release covers collection ‘Pin Ups’ in March

On 20th March 2026, The Dandy Warhols will release ‘Pin Ups’, a collection of reimagined cover tunes, presented on vinyl, CD and digital formats. The record – which obviously borrows its title from David Bowie’s much celebrated covers album from 1973 – contains recordings made over a number of years, and includes unreleased material. It finds the band putting their stamp on artists as diverse as The Cramps, Grateful Dead, Marilyn Manson and The Beatles.

Watch: Oreyeon relive ‘Echoes Of Old Nightmares’ in new video

On their 2019 LP, Oreyeon delivered a set of songs driven by absolutely crushing riffs. Blending the stoner/fuzz of classic Kyuss into a doomier musical landscape, the record’s best songs were unrelentingly heavy, and yet a world of vocal filters and other tricks sometimes gave their sound a deep psych edge which kept things interesting. Over the next few years, Oreyeon would become an important fixture within the Italian doom and sludge scenes. By the time they recorded ‘Equations For The Useless’ in 2022, a much bigger recording budget gave them a slightly clearer sound, but without making their material especially more accessible. If anything, it cemented the band’s reputation as one of Europe’s finest underground metal bands.

Watch: Asylum Road share new video for ‘Mirror Of Oblivion’

Blending elements of groove metal and melodic hardcore, with influences from Machine Head and Sevendust, Irish band Asylum Road delivered some absolutely massive riffs on their brilliant EP ‘The Fear’ in 2024. A couple of the vocals might have split opinion with their genuinely abrasive approach, but from a musical standpoint – and looking at the material in terms of tightly played, classic metal, without sounding at all dated – the material was first rate.

Watch: Ger Eaton shares new video for ‘I Thought I’d A Friend’

At the beginning of 2024, singer songwriter Ger Eaton shared a bold single, ‘Season Changes’, a lengthy recording that shared a pastoral sound, and blended influences from folk, prog and psychedelia to create something that sounded like the missing link between Nick Drake, Linda Perhacs and a mellow Scott Walker. He had the talent to meld those influences into something more of his own. Although the number probably couldn’t be called an “instant hit”, it had plenty of charm, with its sprawling nature aiming to appeal to the more adventurous ear. It had a grandness without self indulgence, so it was no wonder that he chose it as the lead and title cut from his full length release, which wouldn’t appear until over eighteen months later.
