March 2026 New Music Releases

Lou Gramm and the Black Crowes are in much different places as they prepare to release new albums in March 2026.

The former Foreigner frontman’s last solo album was 2009’s indie-released Lou Gramm Band. His most recent major-label record was 1989’s Long Hard Look. Meanwhile, the Black Crowes are back with A Pound of Feathers just two years after releasing 2024’s Happiness Bastards. They’d been on their own recording hiatus, dating back more than a decade.

Siblings Chris and Rich Robinson recorded A Pound of Feathers in just over a week in Nashville with Jay Joyce, who also produced the Grammy-nominated Happiness Bastards. Gramm’s Released was advanced by the single “Young Love,” featuring Def Leppard‘s Vivian Campbell on guitar.

Who’s Releasing New Rock Records in March 2026?

March’s slate of new music also includes LPs from Squeeze, the Tedeschi Trucks Band and Black Label Society, among others. Trixies features the first songs that Squeeze’s Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook ever wrote together. Tedeschi Trucks Band’s Future Soul was co-produced by Mike Elizondo, who’s worked with Twenty One Pilots, Dr. Dre and Carrie Underwood, among others.

The month’s reissues include an expanded edition of Van Halen‘s 5150, with rarities and previously unreleased live recordings added to the No. 1 album from 1986 that introduced Sammy Hagar to the lineup. Aerosmith looks back even further to their 1973 eponymous debut with a new three-disc Legendary Edition that includes a disc of bonus live tracks and session songs.

A new triple-disc Talking Heads box called Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live collects previously unreleased demos and live recordings from their first years in New York City.

Guitarist Zakk Wylde‘s Black Label Society pays tribute to his longtime collaborator Ozzy Osbourne on Engines of Demolition.
