Cut Copy Announce New Album ‘Moments', Share ‘When This Is Over'
The follow-up to April's 'Solid', which will also appear on Moments, has been described by frontman Dan Whitford as 'one of those songs that instantly felt special' in a press statement. 'The song is about a relationship that has started to unravel,' he said. 'But also, a bit more globally, [it's a song] about trying to find empathy when parties are facing in seemingly opposite directions. Over the course of the song, the mood progresses from conflict to a sort of truce-like resolution.'
Whitford also notes that this is the first Cut Copy song to feature a children's choir – something that he and his bandmates had 'talked for years about', but had never realised prior to the recording of this song. 'After writing the first half of the song in my studio on synths and a drum machine, I drove from Melbourne into the country to a primary school where a friend was a music teacher,' he said. '[I] spent a day recording a choir idea that became the basis of the second half of the song. Suddenly with the addition of the children's voices, the song had gone from a sketch into something magical.'
To celebrate the release of Moments, the band will play their first home-country shows in over two-and-a-half years this September. They will play a hometown headlining show in Melbourne, as well as dates for both Sydney's Night At The Barracks concert series as well as its freshly-minted sister series Night At The Parkland in Brisbane.

A Taste of Down Under: An Inside Look at 2025's Great Australian Bite
What is 'Australian Cuisine,' exactly? If you're to ask the average Australian, they might say, as celebrated chef Clare Falzon did during the 2025 Great Australian Bite dining event in Malibu, 'Umm … well, there's not really an answer.' She wasn't stumped. Instead, she was making an observation about the great variety of ingredients, techniques and cultural milieu that make up the Australian dining experience. For Falzon, who cooked alongside Melbourne-to-L.A. Michelin-Star chef Curtis Stone at the event (which took place on Stone's sprawling hilltop ranch in Malibu), dining Down Under isn't one kind of thing. Rather (and similarly to the U.S.) Australia has such a wide variety of terrain, terroir and technique that one style of dining could never fit. This was on display in Malibu on May 29, as over 350 diners arrived for a very special dinner, co-produced by Tourism Australia and the Los Angeles Times. But beyond a dining experience, this second Great Australian Bite (a play on the Great Australian Bight, the enormous open bay that comprises the continent's southwest coast) served as an open invitation to travelers who were … pardon the pun, 'hungry' for more. Stone, who has made a huge impression on the L.A. dining scene since starting the now-closed Maude in 2014, originally hails from Melbourne and, in anticipation of the event, visited to gain inspiration about the Melbourne dining scene. The cosmopolitan city features everything from sky-high fine dining (Vue de Monde, on the Rialto Tower's 55th floor) to an incredible contribution from immigrant populations from Southeast Asia, offering everything from street food favorites to elevated takes (Sunda or Hochi Mama, in the Central Business District). The incredible variety of dining in one city was something Stone brought to the U.S. with him, along with his own family traditions (Maude was named after his grandmother). Now, with two L.A. eateries – sharp, charcuterie-centric Gwen and fun, savory The Pie Room – Stone is bringing Aussie variety to Angelenos citywide. For Falzon, who is from Sydney, the path was westbound. She found herself in the Barossa Valley, South Australia's main wine-growing region, where she recently opened her first restaurant, staguni, in a former one-room schoolhouse, highlighting the region's rural environs. The restaurant, focused on the fresh produce grown in the region and playing on Falzon's Maltese heritage, gives an instantly Mediterranean vibe in ingredients but remains unapologetically Australian, with offerings like sliced beef and rockmelon appearing on the seasonal menu. Of course, both chefs were looking to bring these influences to this year's Bite. Guests at the Great Australian Bite were served a three-course meal at their endlessly long table situated under grand coast oaks. Among the assembled were a very 'who's who' L.A.-style list, including Phil Rosenthal of the smash Netflix show 'Somebody Feed Phil,' and wine expert and self-proclaimed 'drinker in chief,' Mike Bennie. But their revelry didn't begin with just food. During a gorgeous golden hour with a light breeze, the assembled were offered an elevated wine and cocktail hour, featuring some of Australia's best winemakers and spirit producers. Chief among them was the family act Chalmers Winery – husband and wife duo Kim and Tennile Chalmers were on hand to pour whites and rosés from their Victoria vineyard. Wines from across the country were featured, a Cab Franc from Brash Higgins south of Adelaide, Yalumba from the Barossa Valley and Clonakilla's famed Shiraz from the lush wine region surrounding Australia's capital, Canberra. Each wine brought a distinct mood to the setting and the meal. Cocktails were also on the menu, all created with Down Under distillery products, including Four Pillars Gin and Starward Australian Whisky. But it was Daniel Motlop's Seven Seasons vodka that stood out, a native yam vodka made from tubers harvested on Indigenous land by native peoples in Darwin. Guests celebrated both the uniqueness of the spirit and its creation – Australia's indigenous peoples are considered among the oldest civilizations on the planet, inhabiting the continent for over 65,000 years, with their ancient preparation techniques contributing to the flavors of the nation. From a Blackmore Australian Wagyu to a deceptively simple zucchini and summer squash dish, the menu served at the Great Australian Bite was expansive, comforting and deliciously fresh. The squash appetizer, with the titular veggies served over ricotta, had a minor kick with a chili oil topping. The second course, a rabbit terrine (inspired by an old Australian phrase, 'thank your mother for the rabbits,' said Stone), featured the aforementioned coarse forcemeat with a lightly pickled veggie side and a walnut praline. But it was the mains, served family-style, that got the most 'oohs' and 'aahs' out of the gathered crowd. Stone's contribution, the wagyu, was impossibly rich, with its marbling and tender bite mimicking – if not surpassing – its namesake Japanese counterpart. Falzon offered a hearty pile of roasted Magra lamb shanks, with a subtle Mediterranean spicing on their crisp skin and served with dates and pistachios. Sides included Stone's duck fat potatoes and Falzon's crisp watermelon, tomato and cactus fruit salad, an ingredient she was especially excited to use, given its duality in Maltese and Southern California cuisine. And while diners left full and happy (the served dessert, a flaky, just-a-hint-of-citrus passionfruit tart aided in that happiness), the overall takeaway was simple: Visit Australia – not just for its incredible natural offerings, beautiful desertscapes, monumental seas and reefs and vibrant Down Under culture – but go for the food and drink, which has been quietly revolutionizing itself to become a multifaceted and complex cuisine. Whether you're in Sydney or Melbourne, Canberra or Perth, the Barrossa Valley or Victoria's lush vineyards, an Australian 'bite' awaits. As Stone said, 'Today we showed off beautiful Australian food and wine, but there's nothing like going there. When you're in Australia and get to experience their hospitality firsthand, it's just very unique.'

Foo Fighters Share Punk Cover They Recorded Across Three Decades
Foo Fighters Share Punk Cover They Recorded Across Three Decades originally appeared on Parade. Thirty years ago, changed his life forever, releasing the self-titled album for his new, post-Nirvana band: Foo Fighters. Although the album arrived in the UK a week earlier, Grohl declared his independence from his grunge past with an album that incorporated elements of melodic hardcore, indie, and alternative rock. While the Foo Fighters were Grohl's first musical outing following Nirvana's dissolution in the wake of Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, it wasn't his first band. Grohl got his start in Washington D.C.'s hardcore punk scene of the mid-'80s as part of the band Scream, and Foo Fighters celebrated that history by covering one of the biggest bands of the area: Minor Threat. On June 30, Foo Fighters released a cover of Minor Threat's 'I Don't Wanna Hear It' in support of their 30th anniversary. The song, posted on YouTube with the #FF30 hashtag, was actually put together across the decades. 'Instrumentals recorded in 1995. Vocals recorded in 2025,' reads the video description. The video itself is a collage of photos taken over the band's lifetime. We see many pics of bassist Nate Mendel, guitarist (and punk icon) Pat Smear, and the late drummer Taylor Hawkins. There are also glimpses of all the other players who have joined the Foos throughout their tenure. It's very touching, despite being soundtracked by one of hardcore punk's most abrasive bursts of teenage rebellion. Ultimately, 'I Don't Want To Hear It' is less of a stroll down memory lane and more of an 80-second rush through a band's incredible history. In addition, the band is celebrating its anniversary with a Substack detailing the behind-the-scenes of each of their 11 albums. The Foo Fighters only have a handful of international dates scheduled for 2025. They'll play Carnaval Ancol in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Oct. 2 and the Singapore Grand Prix on Oct. 4. They'll finish the month with a pair of shows in Japan before playing Corona Capital in Mexico City in November. The band's latest album is 2023's But Here We Are. Earlier in 2025, the Foo Fighters underwent an unexpected lineup change when they fired drummer Josh Freese without explanation. Grohl, who retreated from the public eye after admitting he fathered a child outside of his marriage, recently made a surprise appearance in London on June 20 to cover a Pixies song with Kim Fighters Share Punk Cover They Recorded Across Three Decades first appeared on Parade on Jul 1, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

Dave Grohl Makes Surprise Appearance To Perform With ‘80s Rock Legend
Dave Grohl Makes Surprise Appearance To Perform With '80s Rock Legend originally appeared on Parade. Someone get Rockapella to record 'Where In The World Is Dave Grohl,' because the Foo Fighters frontman is putting Carmen Sandiego to shame. And his latest random appearance occurred thanks to indie rock icon Kim Deal. Since Grohl, 56, admitted in September 2024 that he fathered a child outside of his marriage to Jordyn Blum, he's made some surprise appearances here and there. He played with Post Malone at the SNL 50th Anniversary concert in March. Dave showed up at Coachella in April, joining the Los Angeles Philharmonic to perform two Foo Fighters songs. Also that month, he played at Oakwood Live, a school benefit in Los Angeles. His latest appearance took place in London when Grohl joined the former Pixies bassist during her show at the Roundhouse on June 20. Deal, 64, brought out Grohl, who told her, 'I'll sing whatever you ask me to sing. I'll do whatever you ask me to do.' They then launched into 'Gigantic,' a song that the two have played together a handful of times over the year, per Consequence. Deal is touring in support of her debut solo album, Nobody Loves You More. Grohl's appearance at Deal's London show adds fuel to an ongoing fan theory: he is going to be a 'surprise' performer at this year's Glastonbury festival. Fans began to speculate about Grohl's involvement on Jun 18 when controversial singer Amanda Palmer posted a photo of her alongside him. 'Well I'll be damned. Not who I expected to run into backstage at the [Yeah Yeah Yeahs] show at @royalalberthall in London tonight,' she wrote. Fans on Reddit speculated that Grohl may make an appearance during Alanis Morissette's set as a tribute to the late Taylor Hawkins. Before he joined the Foos in 1997, Hawkins was Morissette's drummer, appearing in videos for 'You Oughta Know,' 'All I Really Want,' and 'You Learn.' As of June, the Foo Fighters only have a handful of shows scheduled for 2025. In May, the band fired drummerJosh Freese, who says 'no reason was given' for his dismissal.
