Odds and Ends Music News

We’re working our way to Friday, and I the meantime here are a few music news headlines…

Judas Priest has been announced as one of the headliners for the 2018 Bloodstock Festival. Held over the summer in the UK, past rockers have been the cream of the crock for heavy metal.

Cheap Trick will be releasing a new Christmas album this November called ‘Christmas Christmas,’ and will have plenty of original and covers in the LP. Familiar tunes from Slade, The Kinks, Chuck Berry, Wizzard, and the Ramones will be heard.

The Pretenders, the Ohio band that hasn’t released anything in a long while, announced this week that they will bring to market ‘Alone’ with a second disc of live tracks from concert dates in 2016.
