According to Police reports, he was riding his Harley around 11:30pm in Atlanta when a BMW SUV failed to yield while making a turn at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Boulevard. The Fulton County medical examiner’s office confirmed his death.

Hinds split from Mastodon in March. while the band stated that the split was mutual, Hinds would post on social media that he was kicked out of the band. The band stated in an instagram post: "We are in a state of unfathomable sadness and grief… last night Brent Hinds passed away as a result of a tragic accident. We are heartbroken, shocked, and still trying to process the loss of this creative force with whom we’ve shared so many triumphs, milestones, and the creation of music that has touched the hearts of so many. Our hearts are with Brent’s family, friends, and fans. At this time, we please ask that you respect everyone’s privacy during this difficult time. RIP Brent."

Buckets

Listen to the new track by Buckets!

Today, we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new track by Los Angeles-based indie punk band Buckets! The song is called “Naked” and is the follow-up to their recently released single “Slipping”, which was released in June. Speaking to Punknews about the track, the band said,

”Our new song ‘Naked’ was recorded in the same session as our last standalone single, ‘Slipping,’ at Electric Sun Studios and mixed at the Market Recording in LA. Both tracks feel like the beginning of a new era of Buckets - a bit more raw and explosive, and especially in the case of Naked, a little darker than our earlier discography. We’re finally entering our heavy era. 

’Naked’ is a song about intimacy, vulnerability, and how the two tend to coincide. While the lyrics seem to come off awfully bleak, the song is more of an anthem about overcoming demons and screaming into the void about what it is you truly need while your defenses are down. Between the overdubs and mixes, it took a while to get this track to the place it needed to be, but we’re all very stoked on how it ended up. More Buckets coming soon!”

”Naked” will hit streaming services everywhere on August 22. Listen to the song below!
