'This isn't a nostalgia play — this is who I've always been at my core,' Comstock said in a statement. 'Underbrook is about channeling the emotions and chaos that shaped me, and giving them a voice through the music that first made me feel understood. 'Heads Up' is just the beginning.'
The group features Comstock on lead vocals, along with drummer James Brownstein and Hayden Tree, who's also the lead singer for Crown the Empire, on bass. Josh Strock, who's written and produced for artists including Motionless In White, Fever 333 and Machine Gun Kelly, is on guitar alongside fellow guitarist Danny Couture, a writer and producer for acts including Bring Me the Horizon, 24kGoldn and Marshmellow, and the group's third guitarist Jake Torrey, who has written and produced for Linkin Park, Twenty One Pilots and Yungblud.
Of his and the band's influences in pop-punk and alt-rock, Comstock cited 'everyone from New Found Glory, to The Story So Far, to Two Door Cinema Club and The Strokes. We all listen to a wide range of music, but we can all agree that we love those bands. That DNA definitely made its way into Underbrook.'
While there aren't yet details about the next Underbrook release, the band's Instagram account suggests there's more on the way in advising to 'get to know us.' The account also features clips of the group in the studio.

‘Love Island USA': Are Amaya and Bryan Still Together?

Love Island USA season 7 winners Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales only became a couple a few weeks before the season finale—and they only decided to make things exclusive on their last date. So it makes sense that fans would be concerned when the duo weren't spotted spending every waking second together once they exited the villa. But are Amaya and Bryan still together after Love Island USA? Despite it only being a couple weeks since Amaya and Bryan were voted America's Favorite Couple, the couple has already been the subject of a ton of rumors. Here's what you need to know. After winning $500,000 and leaving the villa as an exclusive couple, Bryan and Amaya were spotted together in LA with the rest of the season 7 cast, but rumors quickly began flying that Bryan had cheated on Amaya during a random night out. But don't worry, Bryan and Amaya put those initial allegations to rest with a cute TikTok proving that they were very much still together. Fans again started worrying about a split a week or so later, on July 25, when Bryan posted on Instagram about a visit to New York City, Amaya's hometown, but failed to post any photos of them together. This raised a lot of eyebrows, especially since Bryan lives in Boston. Wouldn't he want to see her if he was in town? It wasn't until almost a week later when Bryan decided to put the rumors to rest again. This time, he did it with a video showing off his run of the day (he gets the zoomies, too!), which ended with him FaceTiming Amaya. 'Getting back on routine. Just missing someone special,' he captioned the video, posted Aug. 1. On Aug. 4, Amaya Papaya and Bryan were finally reunited in Boston, where they threw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game. The event marked their first official outing as a couple. Personalized jerseys were acquired, TikToks were filmed, and they even shared a kiss on the pitcher's mound. Amaya later shared another look at their reunion, posting a photo of Bryan on what looks like a dinner date. She added heart graphics to the pic on her Instagram Stories and wrote, 'My crush.' As of now, it looks like Amaya and Bryan are still going strong and exploring their connection outside of the villa. We'll just have to wait until the Love Island USA season 7 reunion airs on Aug. 25 for all the juicy details!

Rod Stewart faces backlash for AI video of Ozzy Osbourne taking selfies with other dead musicians

Rod Stewart is facing criticism after an AI tribute video depicting Ozzy Osbourne taking selfies with other dead musicians was screened at his concert on Friday. Stewart was performing "Forever Young" at the Ameris Bank Amphitheatre in Alpharetta, Georgia, as part of his "One Last Time" tour when the video was displayed on a large screen. The video featured Osbourne holding a selfie stick in what appears to be heaven, standing beside various other late artists. The video shows XXXTentacion, Prince, Tina Turner, Kurt Cobain, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, Aaliyah, George Michael, Whitney Houston, Amy Winehouse and Freddie Mercury. Clips of the video circulated on the internet and garnered criticism from many. "'Why is this disrespectful?' I'm going to use AI to make a video of your dead grandma breakdancing in heaven with princess diana and put it on a giant screen as part of my tour that people paid money to see and I'm gonna do it without your knowledge or permission," one commenter wrote under a snippet of the video posted to Instagram. Some commenters suggested that the use of AI is connected to age. Stewart is 80 years old. "Boomers love Ai," the commenter wrote. "You know someone like 65 is filming this at the other side of the venue and crying." Some fans left comments on Stewart's social media posts expressing their support for the tribute video. "LOVED the tribute at your concert," one fan wrote under one of Stewart's Instagram posts. Another commenter, who said they were at the concert, called the tribute "tasteful and heartfelt." "I was impressed by the entire show and tribute," the commenter wrote. Representatives for Stewart and Osbourne did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Stewart shared a post on Instagram memorializing Osbourne the day his death was announced. "Bye, bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there — later rather than sooner," the statement read. Stewart is continuing his "One Last Time" tour, with his next performance scheduled to be in Brandon, Mississippi.

Britney Spears Sings Otis Redding Hit in New Video and Her Voice May Surprise You

Britney Spears Sings Otis Redding Hit in New Video and Her Voice May Surprise You originally appeared on Parade. Britney Spears is back to regularly posting on Instagram and one of her most recent videos offers something a bit more rare. Spears, who often dances in her social media videos, decided to sing Otis Redding's "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay," a song that was extremely popular in the '60s. "His soul makes me believe in GOD AGAIN!!! God knows I can't sing like him!!! I wish!!!" Spears, 43, captioned the post, seemingly referring to Redding's voice. In the video, Spears put her own twist on the song, digging in on some of the more soulful parts. She danced around a room while wearing a cream colored dress, that she tugged at while she sang. View this post on Instagram A post shared by XILA MARIA RIVER RED (@britneyspears) This is one of the few times that Spears has actually sang on Instagram. Many times, her videos are accompanied by music and fans don't often get to hear her voice. However, this week, she's posted at least two videos of herself singing. On August 4, she uploaded another video of her singing "Where Is Love?" from Oliver. Spears has been pretty adamant about her career, ultimately deciding that she wasn't going to make music anymore. She made the choice public after her 13+ year conservatorship ended in 2021. "I'm pretty traumatized for life and yes I'm pissed as f*** and no I won't probably perform again just because I'm stubborn and I will make my point," Spears wrote on Instagram in September 2022, according to The Hollywood hasn't performed live since 2018.
