Carly Pearce shares ‘Truck on Fire’ video

Carly Pearce at the 54th Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 7^ 2019 in Las Vegas^ NV

Carly Pearce has shared the official music video for her single “Truck on Fire” from her fourth studio album Hummingbird. 

Directed by Pearce’s longtime collaborator Alexa Campbell, the music video transports the viewer to a small town and sees Pearce live out a classic revenge fantasy, taking matters into her own hands by torching the beloved truck of a cheating ex. Pearce says of the song: “No one wants to be cheated on, but everyone wants to seek revenge. I wrote this song for every girl who has gone through a similar situation and dreams of wreaking havoc on her ex.”

Carly is currently traveling across the globe on her headlining Hummingbird World Tour, which heads overseas in February 2025 for a European and UK run of shows including stops in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, London, Manchester, and Dublin.  Pearce will then head back to the United States stopping in cities like Milwaukee, Columbus, Indianapolis, Houston, Tulsa, and Phoenix before concluding on May 16, 2025, in Nashville. Karley Scott Collins, Matt Lang, Jess Moskaluke, Wade Bowen, and Carter Faith will join Carly as support on select dates.

VARIETY reported that CBS’s new series Matlock starring Kathy Bates will return for a second season on CBS.

Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio and Leah Lewis also star.

CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said of the reboot: “This re-conceived ‘Matlock’ was devised by Jennie Snyder Urman with a brilliant surprise plot twist, and we knew we had something very special the moment we saw the first episode brought to life by the incredibly talented Kathy Bates. The audience reception and critical acclaim for it has been overwhelming. We can’t wait to get started on a second season.”

Killswitch Engage announce new album, will embark on Spring 2025 headlining tour

Jesse Leach from Killswitch Engage^ live at manchester academy^ 18th october 2019

Killswitch Engage returns to the road in 2025, marking the band’s first tour of North America since late 2022. The tour kicks off on March 5th in Nashville and runs through April 12th in Portland, Maine, featuring support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King and Frozen Soul.  Tickets for the tour are on sale now; head HERE for more information.

Vocalist Jesse Leach says: “Excited is an understatement for the way that I feel about this tour. We will be playing a solid amount of new songs, as well as old. That alone makes me very stoked. On top of all that, the lineup we have chosen is a powerful and eclectic blend of hardcore and metal with Kublai Khan TX, Fit For a King, and Frozen Soul. It is going to make for a really great live experience for everybody who comes to check out this tour. I feel like the band is firing on all cylinders and the timing for this tour couldn’t be more perfect. This will be a tour to be remembered…mark my words.”

Killswitch Engage later announced their new album This Consequence, will drop February 21st, and shared the video for the first single “Forever Aligned.”  Leach shared: “‘Forever Aligned’ is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God. It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of world we live in could use a lot more connectivity. This Consequence, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody’s ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn’t change anything about this album. I think it’s the exact record we needed to make. I’m honored and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message.”

Check out the video for Forever Aligned – HERE.   To preorder This Consequence, head to the band’s website.

ICC issues arrest warrants for Israel PM Netanyahu, former defense minister Gallant and Hamas leader

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. WASHINGTON DC^ USA - JULY 9^ 1996

The International Criminal Court (‘ICC’) issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, along with Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, over alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes.

The ICC said in a statement on Thursday that they’ve accused Netanyahu and Gallant of a string of human rights abuses in the Gaza Strip, with judges determining that there were “reasonable grounds to believe that” both Netanyahu and Gallant “intentionally and knowingly deprived the civilian population in Gaza of objects indispensable to their survival, including food, water, and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, from at least 8 October 2023 to 20 May 2024. This finding is based on the role of Mr Netanyahu and Mr Gallant in impeding humanitarian aid in violation of international humanitarian law and their failure to facilitate relief by all means at its disposal”

Netanyahu’s office branded the decision “antisemitic,” ad rejected the charges as “absurd and false” and condemning the ICC as a “biased and discriminatory political body.” Both Israel and the United States do not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, which has no police to enforce its warrants.

The court issued a separate arrest warrant for Deif, an alleged architect of the Oct. 7 terror attack, whom Israel said it killed earlier this year. Deif was accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including for his role in the Oct. 7 attack in which Israeli officials said some 1,200 people were killed and around 250 taken hostage. While Hamas welcomed the warrants as an “important step towards justice”, senior political official Basem Naim said “the court’s decision remains limited and symbolic if it is not supported by all means by all countries around the world to implement it.”

A spokesperson for the National Security Council said the U.S. “fundamentally rejects the Court’s decision to issue arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials.. we are deeply concerned by the prosecutor’s rush to seek arrest warrants and the troubling process errors that led to this decision.”
