Tom Petty Gets His Guitars Back

For anyone who has ever loved a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album, the timing in the bands early days belong to the legendary Stan Lynch. Stan turned 70 a few weeks ago and last week was part of a new band with a sound as true to The Heartbreakers as you would ever find, The Speaker Wars.

The Speaker Wars have released a third song ahead of the release of their self-titled album on 30 May 2025. Check out ‘The Forgiveness Tree’.

In 1986 Bob Dylan toured Australia with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers as his backing band.

Stan Lynch, the founding member and drummer of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, has a new band called The Speaker Wars.

The estate of the late Tom Petty has released a music video for the previously unreleased ‘Never Be You’ from the newly expanded ‘Long After Dark (Deluxe Edition)’.

Tom Petty’s long lost movie ‘Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party’ will screen in cinemas worldwide on 17 and 20 October, marking what would have been Tom’s 74th birthday.

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers fifth album ‘Long After Dark’ is getting the expanded treatment. A video of ‘Straight Into Darkness’ from a French TV show has been used against Record Plant 1982 footage as a preview to the release.
