It's that time of the month again where the City of Lubbock is testing its emergency sirens. It's important to know when these tests take place so you don't assume the worst when the massive horns start blaring across the city. If you want to sound cool around your friends, you can call it the OWS, but the Outdoor Warning System is designed to notify citizens of incoming hazards. In order to keep these sirens in tip-top shape, they are all tested once every month.

Iron Maiden have already revealed they will be on tour when their Rock Hall induction takes place later this year, but singer Bruce Dickinson and bassist Steve Harris have elaborated on their feelings concerning the Rock Hall's decision to add them as part of the 2026 induction class. Dickinson, in particular, has been critically vocal in his dissatisfaction with the Rock Hall in previous years, but with the band is actually going in, what are his feelings now?

It's hard to believe, but back-to-school season is already knocking on the door. If you're anything like me, summer just started. Yet somehow, school supply aisles have magically appeared, and parents across Lubbock are already thinking about notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and everything else that comes with a new school year. The good news? Helping local students get the supplies they need is about to become incredibly easy.

Satanic duo Twin Temple have revealed in a social media post they have been removed from their upcoming shows with outlaw country star Charley Crockett due to their use of Satanic imagery. Earlier this year, Crockett announced a major summer run of dates utilizing a variety of opening acts to showcase for his audience and Twin Temple were booked for performances July 14 in Troutdale, Oregon, as well as Paso Robles, California, on July 18 as part of the "Age of the Ram" tour.

Jack Osbourne has relayed the first thing he said to his father after Ozzy Osbourne's triumphant final performance at Back to the Beginning in 2026. The show was the ultimate culmination for Ozzy Osbourne's career, with a who's who of the biggest names in heavy music turning out to pay their musical tributes to The Prince of Darkness and the pioneering metal band Black Sabbath with Ozzy reuniting with the core four of Sabbath reuniting for one final performance.

There was a time when it was (falsely) believed that a career in rock or metal music would lead to a life of debaucherous behavior before eventually burning out. These 15 rockers prove that life in a rock or metal band may actually lead you to the classroom instead. For some, their love of music directly impacted their career path as a college professor.

Kids will be kids, and I truly believe that we should grant them grace, patience, and kindness whenever possible. However, an obnoxious kid in a public setting can really ruin the experience for everyone.

Yungblud has pulled out of a Canadian music festival that's taking place this upcoming weekend and shared a statement explaining his decision. The rocker was set to perform at The Cowboys Music Festival this Sunday (July 12) in Calgary, Alberta. The event organizers shared three separate statements in a post on Instagram last night (July 9) from the musician, his management and one of their own.

Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward has proactively shared photo footage of himself in a wheelchair with a full explanation with the hope of shutting down any rumors that might circulate if people spotted him using the chair.

Everyone says that money makes the world go 'round, but in Lubbock, I feel like that's only half true. Cash pays the bills, sure, but if you want something done around here, you're going to need something a little more valuable than cash. Lubbock runs on a totally invisible economy of "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours." If you need to move this weekend, need a last-minute babysitter, or need to bury a body before it starts smelling, you're going to need a BIG favor.
