The Hamster can get back on his wheel, after he was unmasked and sent home from The Masked Singer.

Wednesday night's episode was a time travel trip, with contestants Skunk, Bull, Pepper, Hamster and the wildcard Jester dusting off some old school classics.

Hamster look a leftfield turn, performing a number sung entirely in Spanish, Luis Miguel's love song "Sabor a Mí," which he dedicated to his wife. He’ll be seeing a lot more of her, now that our furry rodent friend has been eliminated.

The man under the helmet was a real animal, SNL alum Rob Schneider, and star of such comedies as Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, The Hot Chick and The Animal.

The Masked Singer is now in season six on Fox.

“Nod is about the solace we find in community. It’s about the comfort in knowing that we are not alone," said vocalist Tim McIlrath

Rise Against have released a new single, ‘Nod’, their first new music since 2022.

The new track kicks off the punk band’s “inspired next chapter” and was produced by Catherine Marks. “I swear to God this can’t wait,” vocalist and lyricist Tim McIlrath sings at the top of the song’s chorus. “Not one more minute, one more day.”

“Nod is about the solace we find in community,” said McIlrath in a press release. “It’s about the comfort in knowing that we are not alone. This comfort can temper our anger and our frustration, at least temporarily.”

‘Nod’ follows the band’s 2021 album ‘Nowhere Generation’. It was followed by an EP titled ‘Nowhere Sessions’ which included live versions of songs from the album.

Tracks such as ‘Talking To Ourselves’, ‘Broken Dreams, Inc.’ and the LP’s titular single were re-imagined as live recordings, as well as a cut of their 2008 song ‘Savior’ and covers of Misfits‘ ‘Hybrid Moments’ and Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s ‘Fortunate Son’.

Check out ‘Nod’ below:
