Oz Daniel was abducted to Gaza with his tank crew on October 7. His family was later informed that he had been killed.
Oz was a gifted guitarist. From the age of nine, when he first picked up a guitar, he dreamed of performing for large audiences in Israel and around the world. His friends fulfilled that dream for him by recording a cover of his favorite song, "Don't Cry", by "Guns N' Roses".
The band "Walkways" announces a special show in Israel to wrap up its European tour.
Two bands will join as opening acts: Vessel and Insaint.
The band "The Cure" has shared music from "Songs Of A Lost World", its first album since 2008, due November 1. The song "A Fragile Thing" will remind you of the "Disintegration" era.
The band also previews the new single "Endsong", the album's closing song, which runs for more than ten minutes.

We love collaborations, especially when they involve bands that excite us this much.
This week, "Spiritbox" shares an incredible performance of "Circle With Me", featuring Tatiana Shmayluk of Jinjer. Turn it all the way up!!!
"Pearl Jam" releases a new single from its latest album, "Dark Matter". It is a live video of "Waiting For Stevie", performed in Seattle in May.
The band "The Offspring" releases its 11th album, "Supercharged", today. It is the first to feature drummer Brandon Pertzborn, with drum duties shared between him and Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese. Singer and guitarist Dexter Holland again handles bass, even though bassist Todd Morse is a full-time member of the band. Produced by Bob Rock, the album fittingly packs ten punk-rock songs into just over 32 minutes.

Singer Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit has filed a lawsuit against the band's label seeking a huge sum.
Durst and the band allege that Universal Music Group withheld royalties for years. The lawsuit seeks more than $200 million in damages. These are allegations, not a court finding.
