Starting today, Motley Crue are giving away a free download of their brand new single, "Sex." You can stream and download it via the widget below.

"Overall, I think that 'Sex' sounds like 2012 and that makes me really happy," drummer Tommy Lee recently told AOL's Noisecreep. "It turned out killer! Not that I'm not into some retro-sounding stuff, but it is 2012 kids — let's keep it moving. At the end of the day, it's a great summertime song that's going to have everybody screaming along to it on this upcoming tour."

"Sex" was written and recorded during the band's residency at the Hard Rock Hotley & Casino in Las Vegas earlier this year, and is being released to coincide with the launch of "The Tour," a massive co-headlining trek that sees the Crue team up with Kiss.

Midwest hard rock group 3 Pill Morning is gearing up for the release of its label debut, Black Tie Love Affair, Tuesday, July 17, via A2Z/Page 2 Music/eOne.

In the meantime, Revolver is bringing you the exclusive stream of the entire album below.

"From our perspective, Black Tie Love Affair is the album that will put 3 Pill Morning on the map to stay," said vocalist Jeff Stebbins. "We've been a band for a long time and our expectations for this release are light years beyond what we've pushed for before. Our plans are simple, tour, tour, tour, and always be writing and pushing to beat anything we've done before."

Black Tie Love Affair was recorded in winter 2012 with producer/engineer, Jon King (Augustana, Future Leaders of The World, Throwing Gravity, Darling Parade), at his Page 2 Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Darcy Fray at I Am Thinker supplied cover artwork for the release. The band's label debut will look to build on the success of the 2011 independent release, Take Control, which broke into the national spotlight behind the hit single, "Loser," a mainstay on the Active Rock Top 100 chart for over five months.

3 Pill Morning is Jeff Stebbins, vocals; Ryan Walch, guitar/keys; Charlie McCoy, bass/vocals; Trent Laugerman, drums.

Phoenix, Arizona's The Word Alive are premiering their new album, Life Cycles, all over the web today, one track at a time.

We're excited to be able to bring you the exclusive premiere of the song "Evolution," on which frontman "Telle" Tyler Smith has to say:

"Seeing the impact that Deceiver had and still has today based off the lyrical direction, I knew that I needed to write at least one song that was just for those people who had some very negative pent up emotions running through their heads.  Reality is that bad shit happens.  People betray you, people try to bring you down, people try to attack you physically, emotionally and mentally.  This song was written in the same vein as 2012, lyrically, and musically Zack just wrote a overall really dark pissed off song.  It's meant to be a continuation of that story and feel in a sense.  It's easily the most brutal lyrics I've ever written, and to be honest, I almost felt like I took it too far.  Maybe I did?

"But if someone tried to destroy your life, or took away everything you loved, you wouldn't shake their hand and say everything was fine.  You would lose your mind, and probably do something absolutely heinous to them.  The darkest point of someones revenge-filled motivation, is this song.  'Evolution' is meant to represent the final chapter in this story, and that after finally ending someones life, this fictional character has evolved into someone who can finally live with peace."

Stream the track below. If you like what you hear, you can pre-order Life Cycles here. You can also stream "For Your Health" over at GuitarWorld.com.
