Diva’s don’t litter. Ahead of the season 5 premiere, The Syn and Deborah Vance’s Little Debbies fan club launched an official in-world highway takeover campaign honoring Deborah’s legacy on the road between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Through April 2027, part of I-15 will be known as the Deborah Vance Highway, cleaning up the streets between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. By contributing to the care and upkeep of a stretch of San Bernardino’s roadway, future generations will be reminded of exactly which diva paved the way.

The Syn led concept through ex*****on, including design, highway adoption, content shoot, and publicity – with the stunt featuring coverage by , , .losangeles, and more.

The May 2026 issue features a six-page interview with Karnivool drummer Steve Judd, diving into the precision, power, and push-pull that defines the band’s sound.

“A sound that is tight, dynamic, and always shifting between control and chaos… Karnivool is at full scale again, and Judd is right where he’s always been, driving the music forward while leaving just enough space for it to breathe.”
