U2 debuted a new song, "Atomic City," on September 16th on Fremont Street in Las Vegas while shooting a low budget video for the track.

The visual was shot before midnight as Bono and company performed the song multiple times to a pre-recorded track.

"Atomic City" takes its title from Las Vegas' nickname during the days of nuclear bomb testing in the 1950s, when tourism spiked both from gambling and the ability to view the tests in the desert outskirts of the city.

Bono described the track as a "rock n' roll 45 [rpm single] in the tradition of late-Seventies post-punk, Blondie, the Clash."

"We hope you like this song, it was written about you. It's called 'Atomic City,' which is an old nickname for Las Vegas. I don't know if you knew that. We just recorded this song last week, so we're making a video for a song that isn't finished," Bono shared from the stage.

He continued, "This is the world premiere of 'Atomic City,' a rock and roll 45 in the tradition of late 70s post-punk if you're interested - Blondie, The Clash, some early 70s Cozy Powell. We'll take it from everywhere."

The video shoot featured the band accompanied by drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who will not be partaking in the MSG Sphere residency while he continues his recovery from back surgery.

"The four of us recorded the song. Sadly, Larry Mullen Jr. won't be with us at the Sphere," Bono told the crowd, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "He doesn't listen to doctor's orders. Neither do many of us. But he is here tonight . Give it up for Larry Mullen.

The song is expected to be released in conjunction with the launch of U2's residency show at the Venetian's Sphere venue on September 29.

Pierce The Veil recently released a video featuring singer-songwriter Chloe Moriondo for their new single "12 Fractures," a track from the band's new album, The Jaws of Life.

The video also features guitarist/vocalist Vic Fuentes, guitarist Tony Perry, and bassist Jaime Preciado.

The video shows Fuentes and Moriondo taking a walk towards one another in a crowded city street, with the song playing in the background. It captures the feeling of wondering about your place in the universe.

"This song is a true story about watching two best friends break up," Fuentes says. "It's about the slow crumbling of love and how tiny fractures can eventually turn into breaks in a relationship. It also describes the tragic aftermath of choosing sides, possessions, and even friends to take with you as you move on. It's a time capsule about a moment in our lives."

He adds, "The addition of Chloe Moriondo's angelic voice and personality to really brought the whole story to life and illuminated both character's perspectives. It wouldn't be the same without her."

"Working with Vic was such a dream," Moriondo says. "It was such a sweet and fun honor. I loved filming on the street with him and the crew- it was a really awesome experience that I'm so excited is finally able to be enjoyed by everyone!"

The Jaws of Life, which is Pierce the Veil's first full-length album in seven years, arrived in February via Fearless Records.

The band previously released "Emergency Contact" from The Jaws of Life. The song reached No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart, a first for the band in their lengthy history.

Blink-182's Tom DeLonge recently shared a trailer for his upcoming directorial debut, Monsters Of California. The UFO-themed film premieres in theaters and on demand on October 6.

As per the Monsters Of California synopsis, "After discovering research left behind by a missing government agent, Dallas Edwards and his misfit high school friends embark on a righteous and dangerous adventure to uncover a paranormal conspiracy in Southern California that brings them face-to-face with some of the government's most guarded mysteries."

"The film takes my fascination with the unexplained, combines it with the skate culture I grew up a part of, and tosses in my ridiculous sense of humor that millions got to witness during my blink-182 days," DeLonge said in a statement.

He added, "In recent years, I've had the good fortune of helping the government remember how much they care about UFOs through the work we do at To The Stars, and it's that experience which helped inspire this movie. I can't wait for audiences to see the fucked up fun adventure these kids go on."

Monsters Of California features an original film score composed by Ilan Rubin and produced by DeLonge and Aaron Rubin.

Country singer-songwriter Hardy teamed up with rock band Beartooth for the song "The Better Me," which marks their first-ever collaboration.

"I've always been a Beartooth fan," Hardy shared. "I'm excited we finally got to do something together and I'm honored to be part of their new record."

"There are times where we feel like there is a way better version of ourselves somewhere deep inside that we need to find and bring back to the forefront of our lives," added Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo. "This song is about going through the things that brought me to that conclusion. Simply put, I made a choice to be a better me."

"How many times have I said I was gonna be someone / When I get back onto my feet? / Tomorrow, I'm gonna make changes / 'Cause today I can barely speak," Hardy and Shomo sing together throughout the up-tempo chorus. "I know how to pull myself out / And it's gonna hurt like Hell to set myself free / Just say it out loud, today's the day I stop fu-ing around / And be the better me / (And be the better me, oh)."

"The Better Me" appears on Beartooth's forthcoming album, The Surface, due out on October 13th via Red Bull Records. The album will be out on a variety of formats, including CD, cassette and several vinyl variants.

The run also includes a special album launch gig at Liverpool's new venue Content on October 22. Tickets for that performance are already on sale.

Vocalist Chrissie Hynde said, "Well, everyone prefers being in them. I certainly would rather go to see a band in the club. So there's that, because I'm still an audience member. And also it's just more fun."

She added, "It's a small stage. And you can see everyone and they're right in your face and it's a laugh, that's why you're there. If I see some crazy in the audience, I can really feed off of that. You can't see it when you're too far away."

Avril Lavigne have teamed up with All Time Low for a new song, "Fake As Hell."

"'Fake As Hell' is a song about recognizing what's real and saying goodbye to what's not - it's about cutting ties with people and things that don't lift you up and help you progress," said All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth.

He added, "It's a wave goodbye to whatever's in the rear-view mirror and a new perspective on the road ahead. Collaborating on this one with Avril is a dream realized, and getting to watch her do what she does best in the studio was crazy inspiring."

Lavigne released her latest album, Love Sux, in 2022.

"Fake As Hell" follows All Time Low's album Tell Me I'm Alive, which was released in March and includes the singles "Sleepwalking" and "Calm Down."

All Time Low is currently on tour with Gym Class Heroes, Grayscale, and Lauren Hibberd.
