Firehouse’s New Chapter with Nate Peck | Rock Music News

Nate Peck, Firehouse’s new frontman stepping in for the late CJ Snare, is redefining how the legendary 90s rock band releases music—dropping singles to keep fans hooked instead of waiting for a full album. With Snare’s unexpected passing in April 2024 after a 34-year run, Peck honors the past by staying true to classic Firehouse anthems, preserving the nostalgia that made them timeless. Formed nearly 40 years ago and once beating Nirvana and Alice in Chains for a major award, Firehouse hasn’t released new studio material since 2011—making Peck’s fresh, single-focused strategy a bold new chapter for the band’s legacy.

Wolfgang Van Halen’s Next Chapter | Rock Music News

Wolfgang Van Halen drops major updates on MAMMOTH’s next album, teasing studio time around Q2 2027 with a treasure trove of 30 unfinished songs—some dating back to the band’s infancy. He’s already pushing creative boundaries, even with tracks like “Selfish” and “Something New” that were long in the making. The band’s acclaimed third album, “The End,” dropped last fall—a 39-minute, 10-track masterpiece recorded at legendary 5150 Studio with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette. Wolfgang writes, plays, and sings everything himself, evolving with each release. Live, the band’s touring crew delivers powerhouse performances, while offstage, Wolfgang’s a quiet recluse who’d rather game and nap than party.
