Bring Me The Horizon releasing lo-fi album of their biggest tunes
Bring Me The Horizon are releasing an album of lo-fi versions of their biggest tunes for 'chilling, focus, sleeping, zoning out…whatever you like'. The metalcore band will drop the 23-track meditative project, Lo-files, on Friday (11.07.25). They announced on Instagram alongside a preview: "we've collaborated with producers we love from the lofi scene to launch a new project where we've reworked BMTH songs and created lofi versions (sic)" In another photo dump on the app, Oli Sykes and co posted: "Lo-files 23 lo-fi reworkings of our biggest tunes. out this friday. (sic)" The project will come in handy for frontman Oli to rock his unborn children to sleep. The Mantra singer's wife Alissa Salls (Alissic) is pregnant with the couple's twins. In May, the pair shared a video revealing the genders of their unborn babies and captioned the post "dois", number two in Alissa's native Portuguese. Oli, 38, and Alissa, 27, then shared that they are having a boy and a girl by biting into cupcakes with blue and pink icing inside. Alissa laughed: 'This is twin one, genuine." After she bit into the pink cake, Oli beamed: 'F****** hell, we're having a baby girl!' Then it was time for the rock star to take a bite of his cupcake, which had blue icing. Oli was overcome and kept saying "no f****** way." The emotional couple hugged and Oli wiped his wife's tears away. Oli married his second wife, model-and-musician Alissa, in 2017. The Can You Feel My Heart singer divorced first wife, Hannah Pixie Snowdon, in 2016, after less than a year of marriage. Next month, Bring Me The Horizon will headline Reading and Leeds.

How to claim unclaimed funds before they go to the Browns
You've probably heard a lot about Ohio's unclaimed funds lately — here's a refresher on what they are and how to claim yours before it's too late. Why it matters: Attention is on unclaimed funds after Gov. Mike DeWine signed a new state budget last week setting aside $1.7 billion for a "Cultural and Sports Facility Fund," including $600 million for a new Browns stadium. The move comes with an unprecedented change in state law that has generated controversy and legal questions. Catch up quick: Banks and businesses regularly send unclaimed funds to the state, from places such as inactive accounts or uncashed last paychecks. The Ohio Department of Commerce previously held this money indefinitely until owners claimed it. But starting Jan. 1, 2026, any unclaimed funds reported to the state on or before Jan. 1, 2016, will be considered "abandoned and escheat to the state." For funds reported after that date, Ohioans will have 10 years to file a claim. Follow the money: The current pot is nearly $5 billion, meaning many people likely don't realize they're owed something. The state recently launched a new online system making it easier than ever to search your name and upload required documentation. Alissa submitted a claim in 2023, when it still required using old-fashioned snail mail, and earned about $28. Between the lines: Department spokesperson Franklin Freytag tells Axios it's not unprecedented for unclaimed funds to be transferred elsewhere. The 2017 state budget bill, for example, sent $200 million to the general revenue fund. The intrigue: We asked DeWine spokesperson Dan Tierney what would happen to the new Cultural and Sports Facility Fund if a sudden surge of claims depletes the pot. Tierney called it a "borderline impossible scenario" and noted the Division of Unclaimed Funds has "without exception, taken in more money that is paid out in any given year." What we're watching: The Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority will apply for some of the funds to renovate Nationwide Arena, executive director Ken Paul tells Axios.

Lunch like a local at Barroluco
The latest entry in our "Eating Around the World" series takes us to Argentina via a popular lunch spot for downtown workers. Dining the news: Barroluco is tucked in an alley, but it's hardly a secret. The U.S. Small Business Administration recently named owner Victor Omar D'Angelo the 2025 Ohio Small Business Person of the Year. D'Angelo and his family emigrated from Argentina, and after a few other local culinary efforts, they opened Barroluco in 2018. What we ate: Tyler and Alissa stopped by for lunch last week. He tried the milanesa grande, a cut of chicken coated with seasoned breadcrumbs ($20). She ordered a sampler platter including a pork rib; loaded fries; paella, a Spanish rice topped with corn, chorizo and chicken; and an empanada, a pastry filled with chicken and cheese ($22.50). For dessert: A pile of sweet plantains ($7). 💭 Tyler's thought bubble: Grande is right. It was huge for a lunch portion, and the coating gave it a perfect crisp. 💭 Alissa's take: The paella and empanada were platter standouts, along with the garlicky chimichurri, but it was all delicious the first and the second time I ate it. It was enough for two lunches. We suggest you come hungry. The intrigue: The restaurant has an option to order a weekly meal plan. 🏳️🌈 Worthy of your time: Barroluco is one of many local LGBTQ+-owned businesses Experience Columbus highlighted for Pride Month. See the list. Go deeper: See the other international foods we've mapped so far.

Speck serves up pasta perfection downtown
👋 Alissa here. I've had Speck on my list of restaurants to try for a while, so I was excited when Axios coworkers visiting Columbus suggested we meet there for dinner. I liked it so much that I immediately booked another reservation. Dining the news: Speck opened in 2023 in the heart of downtown, offering an "interpretation of Italian cuisine in a vibrant and eclectic setting." The pasta is made fresh daily — and it shows. My first trip, I had crab crusted in parmesan atop a mound of black spaghetti (apparently dyed with squid ink) covered in saffron cream. The second, the limone — a candy-wrapper-shaped pasta filled with goat cheese and garnished with pistachio, mint and pomegranate. The intrigue: The unusual flavor combinations immediately hooked me. I also sampled my colleagues' sausage ragu and cacio e pepi, and those simple traditional dishes deliciously stood out, too. Best bites: The mussels are an appetizer I'll order every time, served in a spicy broth with house scacciata bread for dipping. What's next: Speck's owner (also behind Veritas) is now working on the Mexican-inspired Rosalita, expected to open on nearby Gay Street later this year.

Alissa Turney: What happened to her, and has she been found?
'Dateline NBC,' the longest-running primetime series in NBC's history, is now in its 33rd season. Anchored by Lester Holt and featuring correspondents Blayne Alexander, Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Keith Morrison, and Dennis Murphy, the show returned Friday night with another haunting case: the 2001 disappearance of 17-year-old Alissa Turney. ALSO READ| Did US pizza joints really predict Israel's strike on Iran? X account dedicated to 'Pizza Index' theory claims Alissa Turney was just 17 years old when she vanished from Phoenix, Arizona, in her junior year in high school. It was 17 May 2001, and no one knew it would be the last time they'd ever see her. For years, Alissa was labelled a runaway. A note left behind in her room suggested she'd headed to California to live with her aunt. But that explanation didn't sit right with her loved ones for long. Alissa had left behind everything: her cellphone, makeup, car, and nearly $1,800 in her bank account. Her aunt also said she never arrived. 'I wasn't worried,' Alissa's younger sister Sarah told People Magazine in 2020. 'I was under the impression she was going to be back. I don't think her being gone forever was anything that ever crossed my mind.' Born on 3 April 1984, Alissa grew up in Phoenix in a blended family. After her mother died of cancer, her stepfather, Michael Turney, became her sole guardian. While he officially adopted Alissa, she often confided in friends that he was controlling, so much so that he installed surveillance cameras around their home. ALSO READ| 'Nobody's gonna be there': Trump fears empty birthday parade, insider says The last person to see Alissa was Michael. He later told police that they had lunch that day and got into an argument before he dropped her off at home. A few hours later, he reported her missing, claiming she had run away. Surprisingly, police did not immediately search the house or question Michael. Later, he told authorities he received a call from Alissa on a payphone in California, but nothing ever came of that lead. Years went by without any developments. 'Nobody looked for her,' Sarah later said in a TikTok video. 'Not anybody in my family. The police didn't do anything despite her being reported missing. Nothing really happened until 2006.' That year, the case was reopened, and Michael Turney became the primary suspect. In 2020, after tireless advocacy from Sarah, who turned to social media to demand justice, Michael was arrested. But the case fell apart in court, and in 2023, a judge acquitted him of all charges due to a lack of evidence. 'I have no idea where Alissa is, alive or dead,' Michael told NBC's Dateline. ALSO READ| Trump's military parade a big flop? Report reveals calls for seat fillers in exchange for $1,000 in crypto Till today, Alissa's body has never been found. The case remains open, and Sarah continues her search for answers. 'In my heart, I feel certain that Alissa is gone,' Sarah told The New York Times in 2020. 'It took me a very, very long time to come to that conclusion, and there was so much guilt there when I did.'
