Turnstile Unveil New Songs 'Seein' Stars' (Featuring Hayley Williams) and 'Birds': Stream
Turnstile have released two new songs, 'Seein' Stars' and 'Birds,' from their upcoming album, NEVER ENOUGH, along with a seamless music video for both tracks.
The double single showcases the two sides of the band's sound. 'Seein' Stars' is the softer pop song, with guest vocals from some well-known singers — Devonté Hynes (Blood Orange) and Hayley Williams (Paramore) — and a disco-esque guitar riff that conjures up David Bowie's 'Let's Dance.'

Meanwhile, 'Birds' is a two-minute sprint that sees Turnstile in full mosh mode — a reminder they can still dish out some potent hardcore.
The accompanying music video, directed by singer Brendan Yates and guitarist Pat McCrory, artfully bridges the disparate tracks like a short film. The clip for 'Seein' Stars' is appropriately more lilting and chill, whereas the 'Birds' portion is an energetic performance video, albeit with some stylized cinematography — particularly during the drum solo that bridges the two songs.
We've now heard three singles from NEVER ENOUGH following the release of the title track earlier this month — a Heavy Song of the Week selection. The highly anticipated LP marks Turnstile's first album with new guitarist Meg Mills, with the rest of the lineup rounded out by Yates, McCrory, bassist Franz Lyons, and drummer Daniel Fang.
So far, no headlining US tour dates have been announced in support of the album's release, although Turnstile have several European and UK festivals lined up for June, followed by the Ottawa Blues Festival in July and the Aftershock festival in Sacramento in October. Get tickets here.

‘It's a big deal': Grahame Lesh readies for S.F.'s Grateful Dead 60th anniversary celebration
Grahame Lesh had a front row seat to one of the country's most cherished jam bands as a kid. Now, he's helping to carry forward its legacy. The son of Grateful Dead founding bassist Phil Lesh, the 38-year-old grew up immersed in the music and culture of the Bay Area band. Though he was only 8 years old when its founding guitarist Jerry Garcia died of a heart attack in 1995, he learned much of the music by watching his father perform in the spinoff group Phil Lesh & Friends, which was formed in 1998 and featured a rotating cast of musicians inspired by the Dead. Lesh even jammed with his father on several occasions. When the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee died in October at 84, Lesh made it his mission to continue honoring his father's legacy through his own career. He plans to do so with the Heart of Town, a three-night concert series at San Francisco's Pier 48 that will be part of the electric city-wide celebration of the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary year. Scheduled for July 31-Aug. 2, the guitarist and his band Grahame Lesh & Friends will honor the influential band, which was founded in the 1960s and became emblematic of the era's counterculture movement, with an array of special musical guests. 'It just seems that the entire world of Grateful Dead fans are going to descend on the city,' Lesh said, describing the weekend as 'a celebration of the entire city and the music that came from San Francisco, especially in the '60s.' The Heart of Town's kickoff show is slated to begin at 8 p.m., but the Aug. 1-2 shows, which overlap with Dead & Company's sold-out three-show run, will begin at 11 p.m. to allow Deadheads to attend both concerts without being too crunched for time. Lesh spoke with the Chronicle a few weeks before kicking off the Heart of Town shows. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Q: What inspired the Heart of Town run of shows? A: It's the 60th, it's a big deal … It really just seemed perfect to try and gather as many musicians that have been inspired by the Grateful Dead, because there's countless of them, including myself. A: I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life, in Marin and in San Francisco, so it's not unfamiliar to me what the community is like. … I run into Deadheads everywhere, and my dad would as well. It's very cool to give everyone in the community, and the familiar faces that I'm going to see, a place, basically the whole city, to go and celebrate the music and the community that we all love. Q: Is there a particular memory you have growing up around the Dead that really sticks with you as a musician today? A: I was younger when it was the actual Grateful Dead, so I kind of learned this music when my dad started Phil Lesh & Friends a few years later. … The breadth of musicians that came through is very memorable to me, and I really learned and have memories from them that are maybe even stronger than my memories of the Grateful Dead. But every time my dad and Bob and Mickey and Billy would get back together and do something as the Dead or as the Other Ones, it was always really special. They all harkened back to the long history they had since they were in their teens and 20s. It's kind of crazy how far back the music goes and reaches deep into the roots of American music that predate even them. My brother and I grew up in this whole community and it's going to outlive us all too. Q: What is the most helpful piece of advice you received during that experience? A: My dad would talk a lot about the way they approached the music. But the takeaway generally was just that they always did what felt right, and they pursued what they wanted, what they thought sounded good, what they thought was fun, what they thought was right for each song in each moment. That sort of freedom is definitely what I try to bring to every time I approach the music. Q: What does it feel like to be carrying forward your father's legacy with these upcoming San Francisco shows? A: It's been nine months or so since he passed, so it's all still relatively fresh. It's all very special. I was lucky enough to play with him in San Francisco, especially in the last five or so years, kind of a lot. The Grateful Dead is kind of just the ultimate American music to me and to a lot of people. It's always very special to be a part of that.

Johnny Depp joins Alice Cooper in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne
Alice Cooper paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during his latest performance in London, with a little help from Johnny Depp. The rocker showed his respect for Osbourne, three days after the Black Sabbath star's family announced his death at age 76. Cooper surprised the crowd at London's O2 Arena with a special appearance from Depp, as his band performed Sabbath's 1970 hit Paranoid. Depp walked on stage with a guitar in hand halfway through the song. Cooper, rocking an Osbourne T-shirt, raised his fist in the air as the song came to a close. The performance was part of Cooper's sold-out London gig with Judas Priest, timed to coincide with the Alice Cooper band's first new album in more than 50 years, The Revenge of Alice Cooper. Depp stuck around for one final song after the Osbourne tribute, performing Cooper's smash hit School's Out alongside original band members Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Michael Bruce. Cooper and Depp are longtime collaborators themselves, performing in the supergroup Hollywood Vampires with Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen since 2012. In an interview with Planet Rock last week, Cooper shared his sadness at Osbourne's passing. "I was on my way to the stage when I heard," Cooper shared. "And I went, 'Oh, that's not right. He just did this. And I saw him. He was singing well.' Even though you know it's coming, what a shock to the system."

Oh Lord, ‘Peacemaker' Has Its Foxy Season 2 Song
One of the best, most everlasting parts of that first season of Peacemaker was its opening credits as the antihero and friends (and his dad) danced to 'Do You Wanna Taste It?' by Wig Wam. With season two less than a month out, everyone's been wondering what its song would be, and the answer is…'Oh Lord' by Foxy Shazam. During Saturday night's Peacefest at San Diego Comic-Con, James Gunn took to the stage to break the news, calling it a song 'from my favorite band in the world that is objectively the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world.' And sure enough, the rock band came on to perform their 2010 track. While neither the concert nor panel featured any glimpses at the new Peacemaker intro, Gunn said during the panel that Frank Grillo was a 'terrible dancer, but a trooper.' The actor, reprising his role as Rick Flag Sr. from Creature Commandos and Superman, said he was initially against it since he's 'a serious actor. [But] little by little, I became the best dancer out of everyone.' The others…didn't really see it that way, but he admitted to having fun 'watching Tim Meadows suffer.' The way Meadows tells it, he was the worst dancer out of all of them. 'Everybody expected me to be good, and I don't want to say why they expected me to be good, but I was horrible.' Conversely, returning actors Jennifer Holland and Freddie Stroma aced the dance, according to Gunn. He then said Peacemaker's pal Eagly will dance during the intro, and 'has a little pose this time.' If that sounds like your cup of tea, Peacemaker season two hits HBO Max on August 21.
