Three Sisters, One Pocket: What The Warning's Fifth Album Says About Rock's Family Bands
“Kerosene” put a Monterrey trio at No. 1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay — the first Mexican band and the first all-women band to do it in the chart’s 45 years. The interesting part isn’t the milestone. It’s what a shared childhood actually does to a rhythm section, and why the answer isn’t what anyone assumes.
The album, quickly, because it’s the excuse and not the story
The Warning released Everything’s Falling on 28 August 2026 — album five, twelve tracks, 39:04, out on Lava/Republic and produced by Anton DeLost. Three singles led it out: “Kerosene” in March, “Ego” in May, “Ritual” in June. It landed on ten Billboard charts, including No. 2 Top Rock Albums and No. 4 Top Hard Rock Albums.
Queen has never made an album with Adam Lambert — and that's why he's still there
Roger Taylor says a return to the stage is “more down to Brian.” Fifteen years in, the thing that keeps Adam Lambert safe is the record Queen never finished.
Asked in June 2026 whether Queen would play live again, Roger Taylor did not say the band was tired. He said something stranger, and more useful:
“Well, it is a big machine to gear up, if you know what I mean.”
Alex Van Halen Called Sammy Hagar an Idiot in a Brazilian Magazine, and the English Press Had to Quote It
The insult went around the world in a weekend. The part nobody dwelt on is where it was printed: Roadie Crew, in Portuguese, by the man who translated Alex’s own book.
The quote, and where it came from
On September 3, 2026, the Brazilian magazine Roadie Crew published an interview with Alex Van Halen in issue #293. The interviewer was Marcelo Vieira, and Vieira had a specific claim on Alex’s attention: he is the journalist who translated Brothers, Alex’s 2024 memoir, into Portuguese for the Brazilian edition, published as Irmãos by Belas Letras.
