The Alarm recently released "Live Today," the final music video featuring the late Mike Peters, who passed away in April 2025 following a 31-year battle with cancer. Filmed on a beach in northern England just days before Peters underwent CAR-T therapy in a last effort to fight an aggressive form of lymphoma, the video captures him performing with energy and optimism. The single was taken from the band's new album Transformation, which dropped May 29 via Twenty First Century Recordings/Virgin Music Group. The record was completed the night before Peters began his final treatment. For more information, contact Nikki Esposito at nikki@reybee.com. Photo by Andrew Labrow.

Saxophonist, activist, singer/songwriter, and poet-philosopher Alabaster DePlume’s track “Honeycomb” was recently featured in Portraits of Palestine, a 16mm film by director Skyler Carrico. The film drew on footage Carrico shot in the occupied West Bank in spring 2024, during the same period DePlume was completing an artist residency there that inspired the track. Though the two never crossed paths in Palestine, their work converged in the film, which Carrico described as a project that found its musical direction organically through DePlume's recordings made nearby at the time. DePlume also recently released Dear Children of Our Children, I Knew: Epilogue, the final installment in a four-part series rooted in the artist’s experiences in Palestine.
