'Long March Through The Jazz Age' is the fifteenth and final studio album by The Saints. Recorded by Chris Bailey in 2018 but left unfinished by the time of his death in 2022, it was later completed and released in November 2025.
The Saints were an Australian rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland in 1973. Founded by singer-songwriter Chris Bailey, drummer Ivor Hay, and guitarist-songwriter Ed Kuepper, they originally employed fast tempos, raucous vocals and a "buzzsaw" guitar sound that helped initiate punk rock in Australia and identified them with the greater international movement. With their debut single '(I'm) Stranded', released in September 1976, they became the first punk band outside the U.S. to release a record, ahead of the first U.K. punk releases from The Damned, Sex Pistols and The Clash. Their second album saw the band pursue a bigger and more R&B driven sound, augmented by a horn section. The band was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame in 2001. Bailey died in April 2022, effectively ending the band.

One of the key bands in the grunge movement of the early 1990s, Pearl Jam's members often shunned popular music industry practices such as making music videos or participating in interviews. The band had also sued Ticketmaster, claiming it had monopolized the concert-ticket market. Pearl Jam had sold more than 85 million albums worldwide, including nearly 32 million albums in the United States, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 in its first year of eligibility.

'Mechanical Animals' is the third studio album by Marilyn Manson. While not abandoning the band's industrial metal roots, the album has a more mature, glam rock sound, inspired by David Bowie, T. Rex and Queen. The themes primarily deal with the trappings of fame and drug abuse.
Marilyn Manson is an American rock band formed by namesake lead singer Marilyn Manson and guitarist Daisy Berkowitz in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1989. Originally named Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, they gained a local cult following in South Florida in the early 1990s with their theatrical live performances. In 1993, they were the first act signed to Trent Reznor's Nothing Records label. Until 1996, the name of each member was created by combining the first name of a female sex symbol and the last name of a male serial killer-for example, Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. Their lineup has changed between many of their album releases; the eponymous lead singer is the only remaining original member.
