The Band CAMINO Announce Aussie Return With 2026 ‘NeverAlways' Tour
The Nashville pop rock juggernauts will return to Australia in February of 2026 as part of a world tour toasting their forthcoming third studio album, NeverAlways. It's their first trip back since their sold-out 2024 run, and this time they're hitting Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Fremantle.
The announcement also comes with even more juicy news: the NeverAlways LP will reach our ears on Friday, 25th July via Atlantic Records. The band have also teased us with two new cuts of the record – the moody 'Hates Me Yet (222)' and the punchy 'Stupid Questions' (listen above).
'Both 'Stupid Questions' and 'Hates Me Yet (222)' came from a similar headspace – that spiral you slip into when you care a little too much and think a little too hard,' vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist Jeffery Jordan explained in a press statement.
'We wanted these songs and their visuals to capture the way overthinking can feel both ridiculous and heavy at the same time… two sides to the same door, except one's a smirk and the other's a blow to the chest.'
As for the album itself, Jordan describes it as 'a snapshot of who we are now'.
'We're evolving, our sound's evolving, and we're still taking fans along for the ride.'
The NeverAlways album also features songwriting collabs with the likes of Jonah Shy (Role Model, Shawn Mendes), Gabe Simon (Noah Kahan, Gracie Abrams), and longtime pals Seth Ennis and Schmidt — with early singles 'Infinity' and 'Baggy Jeans' hinting at a sweet spot between nostalgic vibes and fresh new feels.
The band will kick off the NeverAlways tour in North America this October before heading through Europe and finally landing in Australia in early 2026.

Mama, Ozzy Osbourne is coming home
Imagining rock 'n' roll without Ozzy Osbourne is impossible. He wasn't one of the music's originators—born in Birmingham, England, in 1948, he was too young for that—but as the lead singer of Black Sabbath, he created the sound, sensibility, and iconography that became known as heavy metal, a feat that earned him the nickname The Prince Of Darkness. Ozzy's reign as the king of heavy metal lasted well over half a century, ending only earlier this month when he played Back To The Beginning, a farewell extravaganza in his hometown, surrounded by disciples that illustrated his deep, lasting influence. Osbourne presided over a bill that gave equal representation to almost every strain of metal that Black Sabbath begat, its diversity illustrating how the band didn't just make a scene: They forged a subculture. Tellingly, apart from a reunited Black Sabbath, only two performers at Back To The Beginning were of Osbourne's generation: Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Sammy Hagar, who once fronted Van Halen, the band that blew a haggard Sabbath off the stage in the late 1970s. From Metallica and Guns N' Roses through Tool and Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello to Gojira and Rival Sons, everybody on the bill came of age during an era where Ozzy was a star in his own right, a madman known for his excesses as much as his music. Time has softened the memories of Osbourne's '80s debauchery, a process assisted by the singer starring alongside his family in The Osbournes, the pioneering reality TV program that reconfigured Ozzy as a beleaguered sitcom dad. The show highlighted Ozzy's frailty and foibles, along with a sense of humor that split the difference between accidental and purposeful. The genius of The Osbournes is how it tapped into a central truth about Ozzy Osbourne: Beneath the tattoos and pentagrams lay something human, even lovable. The notion that Ozzy Osbourne could be lovable was utterly alien when The Osbournes premiered in 2002, which is a testament to the power of his music. Like all great rock stars, Osbourne's art was inextricable from his persona. When Black Sabbath arose from the primordial heavy rock underground in the early 1970s, Ozzy sang with a piercing wail that suggested he was haunted by something intangible and unknown. He harnessed that gothic horror as a solo artist, lending a steely edge to his metallic rock that seemed alternately menacing and comical. Once he separated from Sabbath, the dangerous side subsumed Osbourne to the point that it was difficult to discern truth from fiction. During the 1980s, urban legends of Ozzy biting the heads off bats and doves rivalled the popularity of 'Crazy Train' and 'Mr. Crowley,' songs whose very titles teased an immersion in insanity and the occult. The idea of Ozzy Osbourne became greater than the music itself: Throughout the 1980s, he was the flashpoint for rock decadence, as much a guiding light as a cautionary tale. It also helped that Osbourne had a knack for picking guitarists, discovering legions of shredders that gave shape to metal in the 1980s. Chief among these was Randy Rhoads, the classically trained guitarist who died in 1982, just after he helped Osbourne make Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman, the albums that established Ozzy as a force outside of Black Sabbath. Those two records were so strong, they sustained Osbourne through a decade plagued by indulgence that slowly crept into the confines of the studio. They, alongside the first four albums by Black Sabbath, are at the core of Ozzy Osbourne's musical legacy, the albums that shaped the sound of heavy metal. Subsequent generations of rockers discovered new worlds lying within Ozzy's music, taking metal in places Osbourne never cared to explore. The definition of a rock 'n' roll lifer—he died less than three weeks after playing his final concert—he chose perseverance over innovation, sticking to the blend of high-octane rockers and power ballads he sketched out at the beginning of his solo career. Some hits came his way: In 1991, he even broke into the Billboard Top 40 with 'Mama, I'm Coming Home,' a reflective number whose vocal harmonies tipped a hat to his beloved Beatles. Most of the time, he played to the devoted, an audience thrilled at the simple fact that he survived the madness. 'Mama, I'm Coming Home' was part of Osbourne's solo set list at Back To The Beginning, the only song he played that dated past 1981. Thematically, it fits: Even in 1991, when Osbourne was just barely into his forties, it played like a summation. In the context of Back To The Beginning, its inclusion couldn't help but seem like a deliberate goodbye, especially with Osbourne confined to a throne due to health issues; the end seemed imminent, if maybe not quite as close as it turned out to be. Back To The Beginning didn't end there, though. Osbourne stormed through 'Crazy Train' before joining the rest of the original lineup of Black Sabbath for four songs, opening with the pummeling 'War Pigs' before closing strong with 'Iron Man' and 'Paranoid,' a pair of songs that seem impervious to death. All of Black Sabbath, all on the far side of 70, summoned their dark spirit, not so much sounding young as defiant. This was especially true of Ozzy, who still commanded attention even as he sat on his throne. The visual of the throne was a suitable final spectacle, playing into the horror movie element of Black Sabbath, emphasizing how Ozzy could treat his role as a rock singer as a bit of a carnival barker. Perhaps it didn't carry an element of danger, but it was savvy showmanship that stayed true to the Osbourne that became a beloved cultural figure. There was no more metal way to say farewell.

Staff Picks: A historical fiction podcast, and a drummer gone too soon
This week in Staff Picks, TV Editor Tim Lowery lauds The Ponys' Nathan Jerde and Staff Writer William Hughes goes along for the ride when Mike Duncan's Revolutions swerves into fiction. Tim Lowery: The Ponys' Nathan Jerde One of my favorite drummers to watch back in the day—and by that, I specifically mean 2007 to 2010—was Nathan Jerde of The Ponys. Jerde passed away in May, prompting a few texts with friends and a lot of memories from that period in my life, of seeing the Chicago garage-rock outfit play that city's best venue, the Empty Bottle, on Halloween, all dressed as pro wrestlers (and surrounded by bright tape fashioned to look like the ropes of a ring); hit a big stage on a lovely summer day at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Union Park (following Deerhunter, if I'm not mistaken); and then perform in Brooklyn shortly after I had moved to there and was and feeling a tad homesick. Jerde had a way of keeping his head down a lot as he played, popping it up, his hair slicked with sweat, every so often—during less busy or fill-heavy parts, say, or when the band was kicking into a new song. He always looked in the zone and was one of those drummers from that era (like The Walkmen's Matt Barrick) that was just so infectious and fun to witness, the kind that made you want to give the instrument a go. He was also a key, propulsive ingredient to a truly great band that also included frontman-guitarist Jered Gummere, bassist Melissa Elias, and guitarist Ian Adams (who was replaced by Brian Case, the future leader of Disappears, when he left). The Ponys came out with some killer seven inches and three LPs: Laced With Romance, the most exciting sounding and punchy of the bunch; Celebration Castle, an occasionally moodier but still frenetic release that was recorded by Steve Albini in four days; and Turn The Lights Out, which marked the band's move from the fantastic garage-rock label In The Red to indie stalwart Matador and feels a bit wider in scope, with a few new tricks thrown in. Honestly, if you don't know this band and would like to hear what made their alchemy special, just play these records all the way through. But if I had to pick a track from each album that highlights Jerde's skills, I'd go with (in chronological order): 'Little Friends' (those snare hits!), 'Shadow Box' (those returns to the hi-hat!), 'Small Talk' (that beat that helps keep a four-minute-plus song that's only three chords from ever getting boring!). But my favorite drumming from him—and my favorite Ponys song, period—isn't on any of their LPs: 'I Wanna Fuck You' (the narrative is sweeter than the title implies), which you can listen to above. I love the drum fills on this track—and go back to it often. In May, the outfit wrote the following to break the sad news: 'Nathan was an amazing drummer and possessed savant-like art skills. Nathan loved goofing around and had the sweetest of hearts. We traveled the world together. We ate amazing meals together and we met lifelong friends together. We fought like brothers sometimes, but we had so much fucking fun together. Nathan, we will miss you so much!' R.I.P. William Hughes: Mike Duncan's 'The Martian Revolution' I'll confess to being extremely skeptical when Mike Duncan—creator, writer, and star of my favorite history podcast, Revolutions—announced that he was taking the show into the world of speculative fiction. After all, part of what I love about Duncan's work is the way he blends the relatable and the reliable; he'd be the first to encourage his listeners to check their own sources, and draw their own conclusions, about the tumultuous, highly contested arcs of history that he covers in long-form, entertaining, only occasionally depressing detail. (Ranging from the English Revolution of the 1640s through the Russian Revolution of the 20th century; if you, like me, were only familiar with the French Revolution as a series of cultural signifiers—or of the Haitian Revolution as a name and not much else—you could have much worse primers than Duncan's highly approachable, meticulously researched prose.) I trust Duncan, as both a historian and a storyteller. Hearing that he was taking the show into the realm of fiction, with a season covering a fictitious political revolution on Mars, though? It worried me enough that I spent months putting the new season of the show off. So it is with the zeal of the fresh convert that I arrive here to tell you Duncan's 'The Martian Revolution'—which he has now completed, having delivered it serially from October of last year up through this recent June—is some of my favorite 'historical' fiction I've imbibed in some time. Drawing on years of researching the ways humanity tends to blow up its own political orders—and, perhaps, pulling from just a smidge of other influences—Duncan crafts a story about distant colonists going into revolt against an oppressive Earth regime that feels genuinely authentic to the currents of history. (Also: Exciting, funny, and sad. Pour one out for Mabel Dore.) Once I got over my reservations and began to binge, I got caught up on 'The Martian Revolution' quickly—and then got to enjoy each week of cliffhangers as Duncan, surprisingly great at delivering a deadpan, slightly fictionalized version of his regular authorial voice, spooled out his story with the same attention to detail he'd previously devoted to actual facts. It's kind of shocking how easy the show was to accept as semi-fact, even discounting occasional meta flourishes. (Duncan is quick to handwave that his entire narrative hinges on Mars producing a scientifically insane super-fuel that makes its continual mining absolutely vital to human society—just one of many ways the show adapts well-observed historical forces to the stars.) And the whole thing is shot through with the same slightly weary irony that has made Revolutions regular listening for me for years: An acknowledgement that we do these things to ourselves—and likely will continue to, from now into the far future.

R.I.P. Tom Lehrer, mathematician and musical satirist
Tom Lehrer, the renowned Cold War-era musical satirist whose jaunty and grim show tunes inspired generations, has died. Per Variety, Lehrer was found dead at his Cambridge, MA, home on July 26. He was 97. Lehrer infiltrated the world of music from the ivory tower of academia. Born in New York City in 1928, Lehrer was a math prodigy. He entered Harvard at the age of 15 and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in mathematics, magna cum laude, before his 20th birthday. He received his master's in 1947 and went on to teach math at MIT, Harvard, Wellesley, and UC Santa Cruz, where he remained for much of his career. After being drafted into the army in 1955, he served in the NSA. There, he made his first contribution to American society: The Jell-O shot. 'We were having a Christmas party on the naval base where I was working in Washington, D.C. The rules said no alcoholic beverages were allowed,' Lehrer told San Francisco Weekly. 'We wanted to have a little party, so this friend and I spent an evening experimenting with Jell-O. It wasn't a beverage.' Lehrer's unassuming rule-bending served him well as a satirist who couched a sardonic worldview in upbeat show tunes. After some time on the nightclub circuit, where he delighted Isaac Asimov with songs about venereal disease, Lehrer recorded his first album, Songs By Tom Lehrer, for $15 in 1953. Mocking his alma mater, the Boy Scouts, and Confederate nostalgia, Lehrer established himself as a bespectacled firebrand with a wry smile who didn't pull punches. He returned six years later with More Of Tom Lehrer, which included 'Poisoning Pigeons In The Park' and 'The Elements,' perhaps his most famous song. Parodying Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates Of Penzance tongue twister, 'Major-General's Song,' Lehrer's 'Elements' recounted all 102 chemical elements on the periodic table. It became a staple of elementary school science classes and popular culture. Yakko Warner used 'The Elements' as the basis for 'Yakko's World,' an Animaniacs fan favorite that has found currency in social media memes. Daniel Radcliffe said a recitation of 'The Elements' landed him the role of 'Weird Al' in Weird. Lehrer's political engagement extended beyond the United States. While touring New Zealand in 1960, he criticized Prime Minister Walter Nash and the New Zealand Rugby Football Union for its racist exclusion of Māori players from a tour of apartheid South Africa. 'When the team goes to South Africa, we all must act politely,' Lehrer sings in 'Oh, Mr. Nash. 'So to all their local problems, let's be mute. It might be a friendly gesture as a token of affection if we brought along some Blacks for them to shoot.' Saying he was banned and threatened with arrest for his satire, Lehrer stopped touring in the early '60s. He found work on the satirical news programs That Was The Week That Was and the BBC's The Frost Report. Later, Lehrer wrote songs for The Electric Company. Though he retired from music, his legend grew, influencing Dr. Demento, 'Weird Al' Yankovic, Randy Newman, and Steely Dan's Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. In 2012, his parody of 'The Old Lamplighter,' entitled 'The Old Dope Peddler,' was sampled by 2 Chainz for the track 'Dope Peddler.' When asked permission to use the song, Lehrer reportedly responded, 'I grant you motherfuckers permission to do this. Please give my regards to Mr. Chainz, or may I call him 2?' In 2020, Lehrer put all his songs and lyrics in the public domain before relinquishing the copyrights to his songbook two years later. Though he retired from music, Lehrer remained a keen observer of the political world. In 2000, responding to questions about his musical retirement, he told The New York Times, 'Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.' More from A.V.
