Falling In Love with Pro Wrestling the Band

London, Ontario’s Pro Wrestling The Band are getting ready to unleash their previously vinyl-exclusive album Falling In Love With Pro Wrestling The Band on streaming services for the first time. The album collects the band’s 2024 EP along with 7 of their singles, all of which were mastered for vinyl by Kyle Ashbourne who made them sound even fuller than before. The 13 songs show a band coming into their sound as they hone their songwriting chops, build up their high-energy blend of punk, power pop, and alt-country, and kick out so many infectious hooks that it is impossible to pick just one to sing along with.

Falling In Love With Pro Wrestling The Band hits streaming services for the first time on April 4 and you can pre-save it here. You can also order a physical copy of the album from Grooves Records Records right here. Pro Wrestling The Band will be touring around Ontario this spring and will be playing Pouzza Fest in Montreal in May.

Check out the new track by Sivan Langer!

Today, we are pleased to debut the new track by Sivan Langer!

This track is wild- it's got a little T-rex melodic bop, a little Flaming Lips aggressive weirdness, a little Syd Barrett tripped out mind fry, and it's pretty negative- which is very, very cool.

Speaking to Punknews, Sivan Langer said, "I wrote Simple Song because I was going through a period of depression and just feeling negativity from about every aspect of life. In these moments, people tend to go to their place of security, which for me is music, words, and songwriting."

Rough Mix is out today and you can check out the new single below, right now!

Rise Against have released a video for their new song “Prizefighter”. This is the band’s second single of 2025 and follows “Nod” which was released in January. Rise Against released their album Nowhere Generation in 2021. Check out the video below.
