Well, friends, it’s the last New Music Friday of the month, and it’s a good one!

There are some really great new songs and albums out today, but if you need help narrowing down to a few so you don’t feel overwhelmed, please scroll on!

“Reward the Scars” by Korn

Korn is very much here to stay, and this new soundtrack single from Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is just stronger evidence. The nu-metal godfathers deliver a remarkably heavy performance with “RTeward the Scars”. It’s unmistakably their sound while evolving things to a new level.

It’s definitely got me excited for a new Korn album.

“Imbuya” by Butthole Surfers

The Butthole Surfers are back with a new single from their forthcoming album, After the Astronaut. I bet that’s a sentence some of you never thought you’d read.

The Infamous 90s rock band is finally dropping the long-lost album, which was originally supposed to be released in 1998. It will now drop on June 26, 2026, via Sunset Blvd.

Heralding the album’s arrival was the debut surf-punk single “Jet Fighter”. Now they bring us “Imbuya”, a chaotic psych-rock tune that almost feels like a mashup between Melvins and The Prodigy. It’s certainly not to be missed.

“Come Thru” by E-Los

Boston alt-R&B artist E-Los is coming out with his heart in his hand on “Come Thru”, his newest song, out now. The track is a smooth, lo-fi R&B jam that plays like a mirage.

E-Los has a really compelling story, and we should be keeping our eyes and ears open on this dude.

“IH8YOURGUTZ” by The Cab

After a 15-year silence, pop-rock heroes The Cab are back with a new album and catchy release day single: “IH8YOURGUTZ”.

Emerging as a more seasoned outfit, the band brings the same level of energy fans have come to love them for, now with just more edge and unfiltered veracity. Specifically, “IH8YOURGUTZ” is a magnificently catchy track with some unflinchingly honest lyrics about toxic attraction.

This one will dig in and keep your head bopping all day.

“Bills” by Skulls

Self-described “Island Punks,” Skulls go hard on their debut EP and the new single “Bills”. This is skate-park, Tony Hawk Pro Skater-style punk rock at its finest. It’s fast, fun, and confrontational.

Skulls proves that punk rock is more certainly alive and well in 2026.
