Perry Bamonte, longtime guitarist and keyboard player for the Cure, has passed away at 65. The band announced on their website that Perry passed from a short illness on Christmas.
“Looking after the band from 1984 through 1989, he became a full member of the Cure in 1990, playing guitar, six-string bass and keyboard on the Wish (1992), Wild Mood Swings (1996), Bloodflowers (2000), Acoustic Hits (2001), and the Cure (2004) albums,” the band wrote on their website.
Bamonte, who was born in September 1960 in London, left the Cure in 2005 after the band was reconfigured as a trio. In 2019, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside the Cure.
“He rejoined the Cure in 2022, playing another 90 shows, some of the best in the band’s history, culminating with the Show of a Lost World concert in London on 1 November 2024,” the band wrote on their website, adding: “Our thoughts and condolences are with all his family. He will be very greatly missed.”

“‘Graverobbers from Outer Space’ is one of my favorite songs on The Dark Overlords of the Universe”, The Ghoulstars guitarist Markus “Daddy Ghoul” Laakso says. “Horror movies are practically in my blood flow, especially quirky classics like Plan 9 from Outer Space. This song was written as a straightforward pile-driving tribute, though I can’t think of many punk rock songs that have a doomy C-part and güiro”.

90s NYHC band Maximum Penalty announce first vinyl pressing of 1996 album ‘Independent’
Published

April 7, 2026
90s NYHC band Maximum Penalty has announced their 1996 album ‘Independent‘ will be pressed to vinyl for the first time thanks to Flatspot Records. A unique band in that era of hardcore the band toured with all the legendary acts of the time and has been praised by the likes of End It, Turnstile, Hardlore, and more.
For its 30th anniversary this year, Independent will be available on vinyl and cassette for the first time ever, as well as CD, through Flatspot Records with a release date of May 6th. The album, now remastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, will also return to streaming services on that date.
Guitarist Joseph Affe remarks:
“Maximum Penalty’s Independent is the only record that has never had a vinyl release because at the time it was released on CD, vinyl was an afterthought. As we kept playing and putting out new releases, releasing Independent on vinyl was something we always wanted to do and here we are finally, 30 years later. Independent era was a great time in Maximum Penalty’s history – it means a lot to us to see that a newer crowd are discovering the record for the first time, it’s incredible!”
Maximum Penalty’s initial run spanned an impressive discography – Demo 89, 1995’s East Side Story EP, 1996’s Independent LP, 1997’s Super Life LP, and a number of tracks on various compilations including Blackout Records’ Where The Wild Things Are and Satisfaction Guaranteed. Maximum Penalty would emerge again in 2009 with the Life & Times LP (Reaper Records), carrying their sound to listeners new and old.
Independent lineup and recording credits:
Jimmy Williams – Vocals
Joseph Affe – Guitars & Backing Vocals
Mark Sisto – Bass
Darren Morgenthaler – Drums

Sepultura have dropped a new song ‘Beyond The Dream’, which is coming from the bands upcoming farewell EP. ‘The Cloud of Unknowing‘ will release April 24th and be the final music released from the legendary group.
SEPULTURA commented,
“Beyond the Dream” emerges as one of the most emblematic moments of Sepultura’s final chapter, serving as a poetic reflection of a journey shaped by decades of albums, tours, and life on the road.
This previously unreleased composition fulfills a long-standing desire of the band to explore the ballad format, blending Sepultura’s identity with the melodic sensitivity of renowned collaborators. To bring this project to life, Sepultura enlisted the essential collaboration of Sérgio Britto and Tony Bellotto of Titãs—musicians who share a long history with the band and are widely recognized as specialists in the genre, as well as composers of classics such as “Polícia.”
The result of a direct partnership between members of Sepultura and Titãs, the song celebrates the connection between artists who share the stage and a deep passion for creation. The outcome is a piece that brings great satisfaction to everyone involved, establishing itself as both an emotional and historical milestone featured on the band’s final EP, released in this very year that marks Sepultura’s official farewell.”
