The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame got loud this week as The White Stripes finally took their rightful place in rock’s chaos canon — and two of Gen Z’s biggest names came to honor them. Olivia Rodrigo teamed with Feist for a stripped-down, aching version of “We’re Going to Be Friends”, all delicate edges and quiet reverence. Then Twenty One Pilots came in swinging with a demolition-level take on “Seven Nation Army,” reminding everyone that distortion and defiance still move crowds.

It wasn’t a nostalgia act — it was a passing of the torch. The White Stripes’ lo-fi electricity and no-frills attitude run straight through this new generation of artists who’ve turned emotion and imperfection into their own rebellion. The legacy lives — just louder, faster, and even more online.

Oasis End Sold-Out Australian Tour — Still Gods Among Men
Oasis just wrapped their sold-out Australian run, and the Gallagher brothers are back to proving that ego, swagger, and timeless songwriting never go out of style. Five stadiums. Thousands of fans. Every lyric screamed like gospel. Liam’s still venomous, Noel’s still untouchable, and together they’re still the most combustible duo in rock.
No reinvention, no irony — just the anthems that built an era, delivered with the kind of conviction most bands would kill for. Oasis didn’t come to remind you of the ‘90s. They came to remind you they never left.
Ken Carson Drops “Catastrophe” — The Chaos Keeps Spreading

Ken Carson isn’t slowing down — he’s scaling the storm. His new single “Catastrophe” (produced by F1lthy) follows the blistering “Yes” and cements Carson’s title as rap’s reigning chaos architect. The track is pure distortion and adrenaline — the sound of a generation unhinging itself.
Fresh off the Antagonist 2.0 tour with Playboi Carti and a ComplexCon takeover, Ken turned his sound into an ecosystem. Platinum plaques, No. 1 albums, fashion collabs, mosh pits that feel like riots — it’s all part of the plan. Carson’s not chasing influence. He’s rewriting it in real time.
Lil Baby Gets Vulnerable with “Try to Love” + Launches Wham Wednesdays

Lil Baby’s taking a new route — one that leans less on flexing and more on feeling. His new single “Try to Love” dropped this week, a stripped-back confession over ghostly production that dives into loss, loyalty, and self-worth. It’s Baby at his most introspective, and maybe his most magnetic.
But that’s not all — he’s also announced Wham Wednesdays, a weekly drop series promising a new track (and often a visual) every Wednesday for the rest of the year. It’s a power move that turns consistency into spectacle. Lil Baby’s not just releasing songs — he’s creating ritual.
