Rolling out new music beginning with the chill summer jam “Easy To Love,” Dustin marked his milestone 10th #1 with “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” from his sixth studio album Killed The Cowboy (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville).
The follow-up to Blue In The Sky, which delivered the history-making 2X PLATINUM, six-week #1 “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter)” – the most-played song at Country radio in 2022 landing at #1 on the Mediabase and #2 on the Billboard Year-End Country Airplay charts – and also featured hit singles: #1 “Stars Like Confetti” and “Party Mode.”

The midwest, particularly the part of the midwest Eric D. Johnson hails from, is a largely flat expanse. Zipping through it on the highway, you'll see cities and towns rise up in the distance, but blink and you'll miss other man-made rejoinders to horizontal living dotting the landscape, hill after hill, built from the refuse of the past: landfills. Some of these hills make for great sledding spots, parks, and trails. Others turn organic waste into compost. The Landfill, Fruit Bats' June 12, 2026 album from Merge Records, is something else entirely: a mountain dominating the landscape of Johnson's heart.
This being a Fruit Bats record, one scales that mountain to take in the view, to see the future spread out as wide and endless as the midwestern plains. "But the mountain that gives us this vantage point," Johnson says, "is made out of the trash that we've created, the collective weight of the past ad where it's taken us." When he details that view on title track and lead single "The Landfill" - "a holy vision / of what could be / and couldn't be / and could have been" - it's thrilling to hear him sent soaring by a full complement of instruments. But what's truly stunning is how, in his recontouring from could to couldn't to could have been, he has lost none of the vulnerability that was brought to the foreground of his songwriting by 2025's solo outing, Baby Man.

Young the Giant
Over the past fifteen years, the multi-platinum Southern California band has flourished through distinct sonic eras, progressively solidifying itself as one of the most consistent and influential rock bands of the 21st century.
On their sixth full-length album and Fearless Records debut, Victory Garden, Young the Giant reconnects with the core experience of 100% band collaboration, writing and recording together as a unit in one room. Written largely during writing retreats in Idyllwild and Joshua Tree and produced by Brendan O’Brien (Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden) at Henson Studios in Hollywood, Victory Garden is a cohesive album experience that both inspires and enthralls.
Lyrically, the album is rooted in radical empathy, showcasing the band’s songwriting instincts at its most immediate and heartfelt. Musically, Victory Garden showcases the seasoned artist’s collective performances at their intuitive height. The result is a prolific record that beckons a new season of creative fertility for the band and presents Young the Giant as confident, refined, and fully inhabiting its voice.
Rec Hall
Rec Hall is an indie band from Southern California formed by lifelong friends John Bary, Lance Meliota and Ben Tyrell. The trio, often described as “beachy,” fuses funky rhythms and post-punk tones to form their own unique sound. The band recently hit the road with lovelytheband, opening their national Conversations With Myself About You tour, performing their debut single “She Doesn’t Get It” along with other new songs. Since returning from that tour, Rec Hall has been hard at work writing and recording new music. They are currently gearing up for the release of their first EP and looking forward to more touring. To date, “She Doesn’t Get It” has garnered over 12.5 million streams and was the #1 requested song 4 weeks in a row on KROQ’s Locals Only. The trio was also selected for Alt Nation’s Advanced Placement on Sirius XM and was featured on Ted Stryker’s nationally syndicated “Out of Order” show.

NO EXIT
DEC 2 - 14
by Jean-Paul Sartre Adapted from French by Paul Bowles
Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off and there is no exit. The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. It is an eternal torment.
