Garbage Frank Ockenfels III (2)

Garbage closed a chapter of their career in 2005 with the release of their fourth album, Bleed Like Me, in 2005. Now, they're reopening that chapter with a new deluxe edition of the album, due out in April. The deluxe Bleed Like Me follows similar expansions of the group's early discography on the Almo/Interscope/Geffen labels, where the post-grunge group - frontwoman Shirley Manson, multi-instrumentalists Duke Erikson and Steve Marker, and drummer Butch Vig - rose to fame in the '90s with

Eagles To the Limit

Last fall, Eagles embarked on their Long Goodbye tour.  While dates are currently expected to stretch into 2025 - hence the "long" part of the title - the band stated that "everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle."  The tour currently has gigs lined up through June in North America and Europe, including stops in Chicago, Toronto, and Manchester.  Each show has amounted to a greatest-hits retrospective, and so it's no surprise that a companion audio release will
