This week’s new releases include a brand-new live album from Ministry (out this week in the U.K., but not until late August in the U.S.), plus new vinyl pressings of Echo & The Bunnymen’s first album ‘Crocodiles’ and ‘Fear of Music,’ the third album from Talking Heads.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from Gary Numan, The March Violets, Nitzer Ebb, The Cult, Anne Clark, Death in June, Front 242, The Cure, UK Vision, Ministry, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Damned, The Teardrop Explodes and much, much more.

Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured posts about Tears For Fears, Nine Inch Nails, Kitchens of Distinction, Alison Moyet, The House of Love, The Creatures, Bernard Sumner, Debbie Harry, Nirvana and more.

Trent Reznor went full circle Friday night in Chicago, bringing his resurrected Nine Inch Nails back to Lollapalooza some 22 years after the band played the then-traveling tour’s inaugural year. This time, instead of landing a daytime slot under the hot sun, NIN headlined the festival’s first night.

While New Order’s set at Lollapalooza in Chicago was not part of the festival’s webcast last night, those watching the livestream did catch a glimpse of Bernard Sumner when he joined The Killers onstage — as he’s been known to do in the past — to help the band perform its souped-up cover of Joy Division’s “Shadowplay.”

Tears For Fears’ landmark debut album The Hurting is due for a 30th anniversary reissue later this year, and now comes the details: The deluxe four-disc box set will include the original album, a disc of remixes and B-sides, a collection of BBC radio sessions and the long-out-of-print “In My Mind’s Eye” concert film on DVD.

For this week’s “120 Minutes” Rewind, we flash back to 1990 — a better time for Siouxsie Sioux and her then-husband/drummer, Budgie, who, in addition to playing in the Banshees, together formed side project The Creatures. This clip features footage of the duo being interviewed by Dave Kendall.

The 1985 poll received more than 45,000 votes with close to 300 different albums garnering votes, both via the ballot and write-ins. This time around, each of the albums slotted in the Top 10 landed more than 1,000 votes, with the records that made the Top 3 each scoring more than 2,000 apiece.

Kitchens of Distinction on Wednesday formally announced the release this fall of their first new album in 19 years, then proceeded to debut the first track off that collection — “Japan to Jupiter” — on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC’s 6 Music. Below, check out the full track via YouTube uploader Sandpaper Duvet.

Sinead O’Connor will return to North America this fall for a 14-date tour in support of her 2012 album How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?, a trek she’s dubbing the “American Kindness” tour that will bring her to New York, California, Chicago and Ontario, Canada — with three-night stands in New York City and Chicago.

Gary Numan this week debuted the first single off his long-in-the-works album Splinter — his first studio album in seven years, which has now received an added parenthetical (Songs From a Broken Mind) to its title — in advance of his upcoming U.S tour and dates with Nine Inch Nails.

The House of Love’s Creation Records debut — the second of three eponymous releases from the U.K. indie band — will be reissued this November in a limited-edition box set featuring 50 tracks spread over five LPs pressed on 180-gram audiophile vinyl, Optic Nerve announced this week.

To mark the occasion, Depeche Mode has debuted a new Archives Special on its website, a 5 1/2-minute reel compiled by webmaster Daniel Barassi that features rare performance footage of “Policy of Truth” from that July 31, 1993, concert, plus clips of “120 Minutes” host Lewis Largent interviewing each member of the band.
