Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jack White released two new songs on Friday, marking his first new material since his Grammy-nominated 2024 album, “No Name.”

The tracks, titled “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico,” were released through White’s Third Man Records. Limited-edition vinyl versions are scheduled to go on sale Saturday at Third Man locations in Nashville, Detroit, and London, with a wider release to independent record stores next week.

The release precedes White’s sixth appearance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” scheduled to air Saturday night with host Jack Black. White previously performed on the program’s 40th and 50th anniversary specials.

Produced by White, the new songs feature his longtime recording and touring band, including drummer Patrick Keeler, bassist Dominic Davis, and keyboardist Bobby Emmet.

The 16-time Grammy winner is coming off a successful 2024, which saw the surprise release of “No Name” and two No. 1 singles on U.S. radio. White is also a 2025 Grammy nominee for Best Rock Album.

Following the single releases, White is slated to return to the road this summer for a series of headline dates and festival appearances across North America, Europe, and Asia.

In addition to his musical output, White recently published his first anthology of writing, “Jack White Collected Lyrics and Selected Writing Volume 1,” which includes previously unreleased poems and essays.
