In an exhaustive legal opinion released on Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday, Attorney General Ken Paxton criticized decades-old and long-moot guidance issued by John Cornyn, his opponent in the March 3 Republican primary for U.S. Senate, and claimed a litany of Texas initiatives meant to offset historical discrimination against people of color and women are unconstitutional. Legal experts quickly pushed back on Paxton's claim in a press release that the opinion is binding, arguing that the attorney general cannot unilaterally overturn state laws by declaring them unconstitutional. And Cornyn, the state's senior U.S. senator who served as state attorney general from 1999 to 2002, bashed the 74-page opinion, accusing Paxton of using the Office of the Attorney General as a political weapon in their closely watched GOP primary contest.

Thundermother will release its first live album, “Live’N’Alive,” digitally on April 17th. Physical versions are expected. “It’s all live,” affirms founding guitarist Filippa Nässil. “We have made no overdubs or re-recording of instruments. It’s ALL live and Rock ‘n’ Roll. Song order is not compromised, it’s our setlist of 2025, through and through. Hell yeah, this is how it’s done.” The set contains “Whatever“ recorded during Thundermother’s 2025 Gothenburg concert. The track originally appeared on the band’s self-title third album. “‘Whatever’ is dear to our hearts, as it’s a song we’ve played at every gig since its release in 2018,” reports Nässil. “The live version differs from the studio recording, featuring a longer, four-on-the-floor guitar solo.” Whatever Thundermother, an all-female band, formed in 2009.

 Tyketto’s “Closer To The Sun” will drop March 20th. The set’s second single is “We Rise.” “We set out to create a couple of real arena rock anthems and ‘We Rise’ is definitely one of those,” noted vocalist Danny Vaughn. “It also marked the first real collaborative effort within the band for this album. Harry (Scott Elliott) brought in the guitar riff and the chorus. Chris (Childs, bass) and I fleshed out the arrangement and the lyrics and before you know it, magic happened!
