'''''Parallels''''' is the upcoming ninth studio album by American rock band The Signs set to be released on March 4, 2016.

The album was recorded between January and June of 2015 in Los Angeles and Malibu, California. The lead single "Parallels" was released on November 13, 2015.

Recording and production for ''Parallels'' took place between January and June of 2015 in undisclosed studios in Malibu and Los Angeles, California. Most of the writing and pre-production for the album took place whilst the band touring on the Forgetting Everything World Tour in late 2014. Despite having told the media that the band would be going on an indefinite hiatus from touring and recording music together, frontman Matt Flynn spoke about a possibly ninth album with Billboard magazine, saying "I think we have enough material to record three albums worth of music. These songs aren't just me this time. We have been contributing as a band should which feels great." The band concluded their Forgetting Everything World Tour in South America in January 2015 and secretly began recording ''Parallels.''

On November 11, 2015, the band announced that they would be releasing their single, titled "Parallels", along with the announcement of their ninth studio album and its details. On November 13, the band announced that ''Parallels'' would be released through Roadrunner Records on March 4, 2016. On November 16, the band announced a 2016 world tour with X Ambassadors and Awolnation.

'''''Story''''' is an upcoming compilation album by American band Metric set to be released on February 6, 2016 through Interscope Records. The album was produced by Mark Stent and Stephen Jordan. The promotional single "Story" was released for digital download on November 19, 2015.

===Background===

It was announced by Metric, Interscope Records, and the Universal Music Distribution on November 16, 2015 that the band would be releasing the compilation album ''Story'' on February 6, 2016. 

The album was recorded between November 7 and November 15, 2015. The idea behind the album release is to celebrate the band's 10 year anniversary as a group, having it be released on the 10 year anniversary of their commercially success single "Makes Me Wonder", released on February 6, 2006, the lead single off of their self-titled debut studio album. In honor of the anniversary celebration, the album was recorded at Clear Lake Recording Studios in Studio A in Los Angeles, the same location in which their self-titled debut was produced, mixed, and mastered throughout late 2005 and early 2006. Mark "Spike" Stent also executively produced and engineered ''Story'', as he produced and engineered their self-titled debut as well. Mutli-instromentalist Stephen Jordan served a producer and provided additional bass, drums, and percussion during the recording sessions for ''Story'', as he was an influence on the band throughout the recording process of their self-titled debut. 

The promotional single, "Story", was released to digital download on November 19, 2015 accompanied with its lyric video. The video is composed of live footage and photographs of Metric touring over the past decade. 

===Composition===

''Story'' was released through Interscope Records, Polydor Records, and Universal Music Group worldwide on February 6, 2016 in two editions. The standard album is compiled with seven songs, in which were composed and recording in demo form throughout 2005–2006. The songs were re-recorded with Mark Stent and Stephan Jordan serving as producers and music engineers throughout November 2015 at Clear Lake Recording Studios in Studio A in Los Angeles, California. Lyrics for the songs "Miss You, Love You", "Until You're Over Me", and "Losing My Mind" were reworked for the recording process. The standard album also features an eighth track, an acoustic version of "Makes Me Wonder", which was recorded in November 2015 as well. The bonus edition of ''Story'' is compiled of the seven re-recorded songs, the acoustic version of "Makes Me Wonder", eight demo versions of songs from both the ''Story'' tracks and Metric's self-titled debut studio album, and three songs recorded live at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles in 2007. The Asian version of the bonus edition of ''Story'' includes all listed plus a the remix of "If I Never See Your Face Again", featuring Rihanna (originally recorded in 2007 and released in 2011), and a Questlove remix of the Rihanna version of "If I Never See Your Face Again."

===Background===

Following the band's extensive worldwide tour in support of their fourth album, ''Lucky Strike'', in 2013, they announced that they would go on an indefinite hiatus from recording, writing, and touring to embark on their individual ventures. Throughout this time, guitarist Matt Spooner became married with actress Leighton Meester and wrote and produced with several recording artists, bassist Mitch Spooner engaged Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo, and percussionist Adam Spooner toured as drummer on Sara Bareilles and Alanis Morissette's respective world tours throughout 2013 and 2014. Rylan Stewart pursued a solo career in music releasing his debut studio album, ''Pop Culture'' in November 2013, which peaked at number 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200. Stewart also acted in the films ''Snitch'' (2013), ''The Purge'' (2013), ''The Nut Job'' (2014), and ''Begin Again'' (2014), and also became a coach and mentor on NBC's reality television show ''The Voice'' (and has been since September 2013). In January 2014, the band performed for the first time in 7 months on CBS's The Night That Changed America: The Beatles special, which aired in February of 2014. In May 2014, the band performed at Wango Tango in Los Angeles becoming their first full performance in nearly a year. 

In early June, the band began writing and recording for their fifth studio album on a cabin on Lake Minnetonka in Excelsior, Minnesota, recording 6 songs. The band travelled to Los Angeles, California and recorded 7 more songs at Conway Recording Studios from early August to early September. On August 2, 2014, the band performed a full-length concert at Lollapalooza and debuted their single "Maps." The single was later released for digital download and to contemporary radio worldwide on August 4. The music video for "Maps" premiered on September 2, 2014 on MTV, which was directed by Peter Berg. "Maps" peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the U.S. Mainstream Top 40 and Adult Pop Songs charts. On September 21, the band posted an unexplainable countdown on their official website which counted down to September 29 at 10:00a.m. EST. On September 29, the band released their single "Animals" and announced that they were releasing their album ''V'' on January 13, 2015 through Interscope Records. The music video for "Animals" premiered on YouTube and Vevo on October 4 and sparked controversy due to its graphic nature of blood and gore and critics claiming it "glorified sexual abuse, the nature of stalking, and rape." "Animals" eventually topped the Billboard Hot 100 single chart, becoming the band's 13th No. 1 single in the United States. The band released two more commercial single, "Unkiss Me" and "Sugar", in 2015 following the album's release, each respectively peaking at numbers 9 and 2 on the Hot 100 chart. 

On June 2, 2015, the band released a re-issue of their album ''V'' along with the release of their single "This Summer's Gonna Hurt." The single was accompanied with its music video and peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

===Background===

After fulfilling their contract with A&M/Octone, Metric departed from the record label and began independently writing and demoing music for a possible fourth studio album in February 2012. According to guitarist Matt Spooner in an interview with Rolling Stone, the band recorded 10 songs between February and March of 2012, however the material has since been scrapped. The 10 unreleased songs have, to date, been dubbed "the outdoor sessions." The reasoning behind the scrapping of the tracks is unofficially known, however has been thought to be because they were recording independently and were seeking a major label deal. In early April 2012, the band entered Conway Studios in Los Angeles, California with record producers Benny Blanco and Shellback whom introduced Metric to rapper Wiz Khalifa. Altogether, the recorded their single "Payphone", featuring the rapper, which was released to contemporary radio on May 8, 2012. "Payphone" peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and became the third best-selling single of the year, following Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" and their own single "One More Night." Throughout May to July of 2012, the band signed a contract with Island Records and recorded material for a fourth album with producers Max Martin, Benny Blanco, Robocop, and Ryan Tedder. In a press release, the band announced that they would release their fourth studio album in "late 2012 or early 2013" and would release their second single "One More Night" on September 18, 2012. The band released "One More Night" commercially and premiered the music video on September 25. The single became the band's 12th number-one Billboard Hot 100 single in October 2012 charting atop the chart for 8 weeks; one week short to Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" (with 9 weeks atop the Hot 100), which was the longest running number-one single in the U.S. in 2012. 

In October 2012, the band announced their Overexposed World Tour which took place from February to June of 2013 with Bruno Mars, Neon Trees, and Owl City as supporting acts, along with AWOLNATION on selected dates. On October 12, the band teased a clip of them in the studio recording the song "Doin' Dirt" on Rolling Stone's official website. 

The band published ''Lucky Strike'' on December 16 on their official YouTube and Vevo channels and was later released psychically and digitally on December 18, 2012 worldwide through Island Records. It sold 680,000 copies within its first week in the United States becoming the band's fourth number-one album. The album's title-track, "Lucky Strike", was released as the third commercial single on January 13, 2013 and peaked at number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. The music video for the single premiered through Yahoo! Music on February 14, 2013. On April 23, 2013, the band released "Wipe Your Eyes" featuring Justin Bieber as the album's fourth and final commercial single which eventually peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

'''''Life After All''''' is the upcoming sophomore studio album by American rock band Soundcheck set to be released in 2016 through Fearless Records. The album was produced by Cameron Mizell, Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and David Bendeth and is a follow-up to the band's previous album, ''Draw My Thoughts'' (2012). The lead single "The Divine Zero" was released on June 21, 2015 accompanied with it's music video. 

===Background===

Following extensive touring in support of the band's debut album, ''Draw My Thoughts'' (2012), the band began writing for their second album throughout the summer of 2013 on the Van's Warped Tour. The band began recording and production for the album in February 2014 with producer Cameron Mizell at Chango Studios in Orlando, Florida. Initially, the band recorded 10 songs with Mizell and planned on releasing their second album sometime in the fall of 2014. However, plans changed after the band toured as supporting acts on the Monumentour with Fall Out Boy and Paramore and the album was pushed back to a possible late 2014 release. In September and October 2014, it was reported that the band began recording more material for their second album in Glendale, Arizona, but this time around, with producers Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Paramore, Young the Giant, The Reveonattes) and David Bendeth (Papa Roach, Killswitch Engage, Underoath). The band finished recording for the album in early October and confirmed that the album was set to be released sometime in early 2015. In December 2014, it was confirmed that the album's title would be ''Life After All.'' On June 21, 2015, the band released their single "The Divine Zero", accompanied with it's music video, and announced that the album would be released in October 2015. The album will be the band's first release on Fearless Records following their departure with Epic Records. 

In support of ''Life After All'', the band embarked on the Life After All North American Tour in March and concluded in June 2015 with Sleeping With Sirens, As it Is, and Slaves. It was announced on April 6, 2015, that the band would be performing on the main stage at the 2015 Van's Warped Tour. In September 2015, the band is set to embark on the European leg of their Life After All World Tour with supporting acts Dance Gavin Dance, Idlehands, and Moose Blood.
