The comedy rock duo ends hiatus following backlash over Kyle Gass' Trump-related comments to support a benefit album for wildfire victims.
- Tenacious D reunited to contribute a cover of REO Speedwagon's 'Keep on Loving You' to the 'Good Music to Lift Los Angeles' benefit album.
- The 90-track compilation, available for one day on Bandcamp, supports the LA Regional Food Bank and California Foundation's Wildfire Fund.
- The band went on hiatus in July 2024 after Kyle Gass made a controversial joke about an assassination attempt on Donald Trump during a concert in Sydney.
- Following the backlash, Jack Black and Kyle Gass issued apologies, canceled their Australian tour, and paused all creative plans, including a U.S. tour.
- Jack Black stated that the duo remained friends during the break and hinted at a return when the timing felt appropriate.
