2025 music releases

Half a century after the roar of Newcastle's Rabbit first shook Aussie stages, the band that helped define the mid-70s pub rock sound is back with Defenders Of Rock, a brand-new album out 31 October via Savant Guarde Records. Led once again by original AC/DC frontman Dave Evans, the record is a fist-pumping salute to the spirit of Australian rock and roll, loud, proud, and unbreakable.

Lamb of God have roared back with a brand-new single, “Sepsis”, their first original music since 2022's Omens. The track arrives with all the menace, intensity and uncompromising heaviness fans have come to expect from the Richmond, Virginia metal titans.

Fun Lovin' Criminals have officially returned with their first studio album in 15 years, A Matter of Time, released in August 2025. The record marks the group's first full-length project since 2010's Classic Fantastic and their first without founding frontman Huey Morgan, who left in 2021.

On 26 September 2025, the John Lennon estate premiered a brand-new music video for Lennon and Yoko Ono's hard-hitting protest anthem “Sunday Bloody Sunday (Ultimate Mix)”, reintroducing one of the most controversial yet vital tracks from Lennon's New York era. The video arrives just weeks before the release of the expansive Power To The People (The Ultimate Collection) box set, due 10 October, and places renewed focus on Lennon's uncompromising political voice.
