The Offspring is back with a new single titled 'Days Go By,' the first single from their forthcoming album of the same name. It's been four years since The Offspring gave us 'Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace' which spawned hits like 'Hammerhead' and 'You're Gonna Go Far, Kid.' The formula for The Offspring hasn't changed much from their straight forward American power punk. With their edgy guitars and massive hooks, The Offspring is ready to unload some more west coast angst on the masses.

Writing for the new album began in 2009 while the band was on tour supporting 'Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace.' The band hinted several times over the past few years that the album would be coming out soon but was delayed several times since 2010 in order for the band to complete writing. With the release of the first single, The Offspring has announced that the album will finally be available for sale June 26, 2012.

Offspring fans can now hear 'Days Go By' on AOL Radio's New Alternative First station.

The Cab's 'La La' is the second single off their smash album, 'Symphony Soldier.' The Las Vegas-based band made their debut in 2008 with their debut album 'Whisper War," which quickly helped them earn the honor:"The Band You Need To Know 2008," by Alternative Press magazine. 'Symphony Soldier' was self-funded by the band after they left Fueled by Ramen/Decaydance Records and has received solid reviews from both the Alternative and Pop music world.

'La La' is a sugary pop-rock track about falling in love at first sight, with lyrics such as, "You're like a song / A beautiful symphony to my eyes" paired with "You make me wanna lose my voice / I just wanna get you sideways." The song contains lyrical honesty coupled with intense imagery. Fans of all genres and ages will fall in love with the sing-along hook and catchy instrumentals.

'Symphony Soldier' is now available on iTunes and you can hear 'La La' on AOL Radio's Fresh 40 station.

Maroon 5 has released the first single 'Payphone' off their forthcoming album 'Overexposed,' which will go on sale June 26th. The band performed the song for the first time during last night's taping of NBC's 'The Voice.' Maroon 5 collaborated with rapper Wiz Khalifa for the track, who appears on one version of the song.

After their previous album 'Hands All Over' had moderate success in terms of radio airplay, the band got together to release 'Moves Like Jagger,' the dance-friendly tune which ended up becoming one of their biggest hits ever. In contrast, 'Payphone' is one of the band's more mellow singles similar to 'She Will Be Loved' and 'Won't Go Home Without You.' The song's lyrics tell of a love gone wrong, proclaiming "If happy ever after did exist / I would still be holding you like this And all those fairy tales are full of it / One more stupid love song I'll be safe."

Fans can now hear 'Payphone' by Maroon 5 on AOL Radio's Fresh 40 station.

Linkin Park has released the first single titled 'Burn it Down' off their forthcoming fifth studio album 'Living Things.' The band promoted the song's release today by releasing snippets of the song on their official website linkinpark.com through a game in which fans had to play to unlock.

The song has a lighter, electronic sound compared to the band's nu-metal alternative origins. The chorus repeats, "We're building it up / To break it back down / We're building this up / To burn it down / We can't wait / To burn it to the ground." What that "it" is, however, is up to interpretation according to Linkin Park. Band member Mike Shinoda told MTV in an interview that the lyrics could be interpreted as "what we do in pop culture, where we build somebody up to be the next great thing and then we just like to destroy them at the end of the day."

'Living Things' will be released June 26, 2012 but fans can now hear 'Burn it Down' on New Alternative First and New Pop First.

Silversun Pickups, the L.A.-based alternative stalwart is back with a new single, 'Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings),' from the their latest album, 'Neck of the Woods.' The formula for Silversun Pickups has continued onto their latest effort, with screaming, synthetic guitars coupled with melodic vocals that portray dark content in only the way Silversun Pickups can do it.

'Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)' portrays the common story of love gone wrong and how the end can sting more than we ever see on the surface. Deep into the darkness, 'Bloody Mary, (Nerve Endings)' plunges into the pit of despair and talks about the hurt one can feel when coping with the loss of love. Accompanied with the band's signature guitar sound and synthetic keyboard play, this song ends with no closure and a thirst to find out what is next.

To hear Silversun Pickups' 'Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings),' tune to AOL's New Alternative First station.
