(Akron, Ohio — March 20, 2026) – Today, GRAMMY award-winning rock duo The Black Keys return with their new song, “Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire” — listen here.

The Black Keys will soon begin their PEACHES ‘N KREAM WORLD TOUR ‘26, kicking off on April 24th with stops in major cities including New York, Chicago, Nashville, London, Paris, Milan and more. All supporting acts for the tour come from the stable of Dan Auerbach’s own Easy Eye Sound record label, with artists varying per city. Tickets available here.


Peaches!, the band’s fourteenth studio album, is a visceral and raw 10-song collection described by singer Dan Auerbach as the band’s “most natural record” since their 2002 debut, The Big Come Up. The project was born in the wake of Auerbach’s late father’s diagnosis of esophageal cancer, as he was staying in Dan’s Nashville home, in rapid decline. Patrick Carney, Dan’s Black Keys bandmate and oldest, closest friend, knew without asking “that it would be good for Dan to have something to do.” That something, of course, was to head into the studio and crank up the amps.


The songs on Peaches! reflect Dan and Patrick’s obsessive record-collecting habit, which in recent years has escalated into an ongoing series of Record Hang DJ-set dance parties. These hangs fueled a deeper period of musical archaeology for both of them. “I’d look for 45s specifically to play at the record hangs,” Dan says, “but sometimes I’d find a song and think, ‘This might be fun for Pat and me to play live.’”


Peaches! cover art is illustrated with an image by the iconic Memphis-born photographer William Eggleston, a hero of the band’s who also provided the cover shot for their 2021 album, Delta Kream. This album also sees Patrick’s brother, Michael Carney, designing and art-directing the package as he did similarly with early Black Keys albums, notably winning a GRAMMY award for the Brothers cover. Peaches! will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally — pre-order/save here.

01. Where There's Smoke, There's Fire

About The Black Keys: 

Around the turn of the century in Akron, OH, two childhood friends regularly huddled around a rudimentary tape recorder and wrote songs. After more than two decades, five GRAMMY® awards, worldwide sales of 10 million-plus, streams in the billions, and countless sold-out shows, The Black Keys—Dan Auerbach [vocals, guitar] and Patrick Carney [drums]—still operate the same way. To this day, the duo write, record, and produce music together, jamming like no one’s watching, disregarding the rules, and following their own creative impulses without compromise. Since their inception, they have consistently captivated audiences with seismic live performances and a fluid and fiery body of work. Following influential favorites such as Thickfreakness [2003] and Magic Potion [2006], they made waves with 2008’s gold-certified Attack & Release. In its wake, Brothers [2010] reached double-platinum status, received a GRAMMY® for “Best Alternative Music Album,” and spawned the staple “Tighten Up”—which notched a GRAMMY® for “Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. 2011 saw the guys unveil El Camino. It went double-platinum and scored three GRAMMYs®, including “Best Rock Album” as well as “Best Rock Performance” and “Best Rock Song” for “Lonely Boy.” In 2014, the gold-selling Turn Blue bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200. Maintaining this momentum, 2022’s Dropout Boogie marked their sixth Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200. Plus, they sold out iconic venues such as Madison Square Garden and shined as an outlier who could collaborate with either Noel Gallagher, Billy F. Gibbons, and Beck or Juicy J. In 2025, the duo’s bond as bandmates and friends underscored their thirteenth full-length LP, No Rain, No Flowers [Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records], which earned Dan his fifth “Producer of Year” GRAMMY nomination.

Neil Diamond returns with 'Wild At Heart,' the third and final album from his 2007 Rick Rubin collaboration

Check out the media release issued this morning detailing a forthcoming Rick Rubin-produced album featuring previously-unissued tracks from the great Neil Diamond...Robert Kinsler


NEIL DIAMOND RETURNS WITH

WILD AT HEART

THE THIRD AND FINAL ALBUM FROM  

HIS 2007 RICK RUBIN COLLABORATION  

AVAILABLE MAY 8 VIA CAPITOL/UME

FEATURES TEN PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED TRACKS CUT DURING PROLIFIC SESSIONS WITH RUBIN FOR

HOME BEFORE DARK, DIAMOND’S FIRST EVER #1 ALBUM

 

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “WILD AT HEART” HERE

 

VIEW THE WILD AT HEART TRAILER HERE

                                                                       

MARCH 20, 2026 (LOS ANGELES) – On May 8, rock ‘n’ roll icon Neil Diamond unveils Wild At Heart, a testament to his mastery and a remarkable third – and final – entry in his universally praised collaboration with producer Rick Rubin. Recorded initially at sessions for Diamond’s chart-topping Home Before Dark, this collection of ten songs features his signature passionate vocals and powerfully incisive lyrics surrounded by urgent yet stripped-down arrangements.

 

Diamond initially teamed up with Rubin for 2005’s 12 Songs, hailed as “one of the most entertaining, satisfying albums Diamond has ever released.” The partnership went so well that Diamond was eager to work with Rubin again. 2008’s Home Before Dark was a tremendous popular success (his first-ever Number One album on the Billboard charts) and garnered widespread critical praise. PopMatters’ James Bassett echoed many of his colleagues’ sentiments when he hailed Home Before Dark as “an album of rare beauty, grace, and eloquence that captures Diamond in all his plain-spoken and big-hearted glory. And it is easily the most intensely personal release of his esteemed career.”

 

“My work with Rick was a labor of love,” Neil shares, “and I’m so gratified that these songs will finally be set free into the world to complete our trilogy of work.”

Recently revisiting this material, Diamond spent time fleshing out nine new songs to be released for the first time and closed the set with an alternate take of “Forgotten,” which initially appeared on Home Before Dark.

 

The unique set of songs on Wild At Heart (simultaneously archival and brand-new) will be released on CD, vinyl, and digital platforms via Capitol/UMe on May 8, 2026. Limited edition colored vinyl and 2CD versions will also be available. Preorder and Listen to Wild At Heart HERE.

 

In anticipation of Wild At Heart’s release, digital Deluxe Editions of 12 Songs and Home Before Dark are now available and include the debut of bonus tracks previously available on limited physical releases. Listen to 12 Songs HERE and Home Before Dark HERE.

 

Diamond immensely enjoyed collaborating with Rick Rubin and the all-star quartet he assembled for the Home Before Dark sessions: keyboardist Benmont Tench and guitarist Mike Campbell (both from Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers), along with ace session guitarist Smokey Hormel and guitarist Matt Sweeney (co-founder of the NYC indie rock group Chavez) and frequent Will Oldham cohort. “Working with these guys and having Rick’s ear made it a great deal of fun,” Diamond told Billboard in 2008. “It was magic.”

 

Revealing the spare but emotional resonance that are hallmarks of his work with Rick Rubin, Wild At Heart has marvelous cohesiveness drawn from material recorded over a handful of years ago.

Accompanying his soul-baring lyrics and commanding yet vulnerable vocals, Diamond’s guitar, which he had rarely played on recordings, leads the unadorned arrangements, which involve mainly subdued guitars and keyboards.

 

Wild At Heart finds Diamond in a reflective, philosophical mood, but it is conveyed on a very human scale, so the songs come across as deeply personal. On “Shine On,” the singer advises his son to “never doubt in yourself” and “sing what you feel inside.” The terrific “You Can’t Have It All” remains presciently relevant today as Diamond asks: “What’s the matter with the world? Can’t everyone take care?”

 

A well-known master of love songs, Diamond adds several more to his canon with “The Secret You” and “You Still Look Good To Me,” while “Talking It To Death” and “Forgotten” explore the rockier side of love that is on the rocks. “You’re Getting To Me,” “You’re My Favorite Song,” “You Never Know,” and the title track contains classic Diamond hooks; however, the performances hold a warm intimacy that feels like he’s playing in your living room.

 

Neil Diamond’s illustrious career, spanning over five decades, has seen him sell over 130 million albums, placing him among the best-selling rock musicians ever. He has had 18 Top 10 albums and scored nearly 40 Top 40 singles, with ten reaching #1. His 1969 hit “Sweet Caroline” has continued its unbridled grip on pop culture and has become a permanent fixture at sporting events and a TV and film soundtrack favorite.

 

A GRAMMY ® Award-winning artist, Diamond is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He also has received two of the highest honors bestowed upon songwriters: the Johnny Mercer Award and the Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award.

 

Additionally, Diamond has garnered the GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award, NARAS’ MusiCares Person of the Year Award, and the prestigious Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime of contributions to American culture. His achievements include a Golden Globe Award, 13 GRAMMY nominations, an American Music Award, an ASCAP Film and Television Award, and a Billboard Icon Award.

 

Diamond, who starred in the 1980 film The Jazz Singer, has seen his life and music turned into the hit Broadway musical A Beautiful Noise. The show debuted in New York City in 2022, and with over 650 performances and was one of the longest-running new musicals on Broadway since the pandemic. Beautiful Noise launched its first tour in 2024 and continues to tour across America with performances set to open in Australia in August, 2026. Listen to the Original Broadway Cast Recording of A Beautiful NoiseThe Neil Diamond Musical, HERE.

 

In addition, Focus Features released Song Sung Blue on December 25th,  a musical drama starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson. Directed by Craig Brewer and based on a true story, the film follows two down-on-their-luck musicians who form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band. The movie has been a huge success, with Hudson receiving Oscar, SAG Actor Award, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations, and will be released via international streaming in late Spring.

Therapy?’s 'One Cure Fits All' Anniversary Deluxe Edition out March 27

Therapy?'s classic LP "One Cure Fits All" is coming via an expanded 20th anniversary edition on March 27. The official media release follows...Robert Kinsler


Mercury Studios Honors Therapy?’s One Cure Fits All With Newly Remastered 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition Out March 27, 2026


Demos, B-Sides, and First-Ever Vinyl Pressing Make This a Must-Have Release


Preorder link: HERE


View trailer: HERE




New York, NY (March 19, 2026) – Mercury Studios is proud to announce the release of a lavish 20th anniversary reissue of Therapy?’s beloved eleventh studio album, One Cure Fits All, out March 27. Newly remastered under the supervision of the band, the album will be available as a deluxe double-CD edition featuring an exclusive second disc of rare B-sides and demos for every song on the album.

In addition, One Cure Fits All will be released on vinyl for the first time ever, pressed on black vinyl and a red variant. The red vinyl will be available as a D2C exclusive through the Mercury Studios Store, and uDiscover. Long unavailable on streaming platforms, this newly remastered edition will finally bring the album to streaming services worldwide.


One Cure Fits All was remastered from the original source files under the supervision of the band. The second disc of the 2CD package features 4 B-sides, including “Crazy Cocaine Eyes,” “Hard Work Hope,” “Play On,” and “Freeze The Remains,” in addition to a plethora of album demos. These 4 B-sides have previously only been available digitally and are making their first appearance on CD.

Northern Irish alternative rock band Therapy? formed in Larne in 1989 and is known for its lacerating lyrics, tuneful angst, pummeling drums, and inventive—often abrasive—musicality. One Cure Fits All was originally released on Spitfire Records on April 24th, 2006. Over the course of its career, Therapy? has released 16 albums and sold over two million albums worldwide. The trio has had numerous UK top 40 singles, earned a Mercury Music Prize nomination, played Top of the Pops, and has been honored by the Kerrang! Awards.  Therapy? has performed at festivals such as Knebworth, Hellfest, SonisphereWacken Open Air, and Donington, the latter at Metallica’s request.


In the early 1990s, Therapy? signed to A&M Records, releasing four critically acclaimed albums celebrated for their polished, anthemic sound. Following their major-label era, the band briefly expanded its lineup to include a cellist before returning to its lean and mean trio configuration for One Cure Fits All. The album was produced by Pedro Ferreira, who was coming off a major success after producing The Darkness’ UK chart-topping Permission to Land.


The production sheen of One Cure Fits All recalls the band’s major-label years, pairing some of its catchiest songwriting with the heft-and-hooks sensibility that defined their most popular period. Folded within this welcomed familiarity is the moodiness that characterized the band’s later work, making One Cure Fits All the perfect then-and-now summation of the band’s sound. The album features the band’s current lineup: founding vocalist and guitarist Andy Cairns, bassist Michael McKeegan (both of whom appeared on the breakthrough 1994 album Troublegum), and drummer Neil Cooper.
