For the Rolling Stones, you happily hop on a plane! Our music editor Leo flew all the way to London to sit down at the table with none other than Mick Jagger. He talks to him about the new album "Foreign Tongues", why record labels really ought to pick up a few foreign languages, how on earth Bruno Mars ended up on a Stones track – and why ‘Paint It Black’ isn’t actually a rock song at all. You can hear it all right here!

Deep Purple are back with a bang! 🎸 In this exclusive ROCK ANTENNE interview, guitarist Simon McBride sits down to talk all things about their new album 'Splat', stepping into the shoes of guitar legends, and why retirement is a word that simply doesn't compute for the rock icons. Simon shares hilarious insights into Ian Gillan's songwriting brain (including how a simple typo turned "Jessica's Bar" into "Jessica's Bra"!), working with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, and how bringing fresh blood into the band gave everyone a well-deserved kick in the ass. Turn it up, subscribe to ROCK ANTENNE for more exclusive rock content, and let us know in the comments: What's your favorite track off the new record? 🤘 Picture: Von Foto: Stefan Brending, Lizenz: Creative Commons by-sa-3.0 de, CC BY-SA 3.0 de, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=120782355

Muse are gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated 10th studio album, The Wow Signal, and bass legend Chris Wolstenholme sat down with ROCK ANTENNE for a massive, exclusive chat. Named after the famous 1977 radio signal that remains our best bet for alien life, the new record is an absolute wall of sound. Chris dives deep into the metaphor behind The Wow Signal, why they literally blasted a tablet 30 kilometers into space to launch the album, and how they bridge the gap between high-tech studio wizardry and raw, high-energy attitude. He also opens up about the immense mental pressure of remembering a 25-year-old song catalog on tour, why he still loses sleep over a massive live blunder in Moscow from 2019, and the real reason why he had to stop playing pre-show football matches with fans (hint: it involves a partial hip replacement!). From World Cup predictions with England's new German manager Thomas Tuchel to why Muse's music might be a football jinx — this is a must-watch for every rock fan. Grab a drink, crank up the volume, and join the ride! 🤘🔥

After 14 album-less years that felt like forever, The All-American Rejects are back in full force. Their brand-new record “Sandbox” shines with a sun-drenched surf-rock vibe and tells the story of a band growing up – the same band that crashed into our hearts in the 2000s with cheeky pop-punk anthems. In our interview, guitarist Nick Wheeler reveals just how grown-up the band really is now, what finally pushed them back into the studio after more than a decade, and whether we might even get to look forward to a house party with The All-American Rejects in our own neighborhood sometime soon.
