Watch the mind-melding playthrough for new single "Of the Void" below.

Crown of Mortis comes out April 4 on Season of Mist.

After emerging from the misty forests of Northern California four years ago, Wrath of Logarius spread through the world of underground metal like a bloodborne virus. "...a ferocious display of intent which signifies the band's potential to become a powerhouse", New Noise wrote about the band's burning introduction.

Many hunters would've reaped their rewards while resting their bones, but Crown of Mortis only builds on the band's growing lore. The album's first single summoned all the bloody runes from the band's formless spellbook. Now armed with newly minted Strega guitars, Wrath of Logarius cycle through the many moonlit phases of black metal on "Of the Void".

New bassist Xolotl opens the icy procession with dissonant bass chugs, as if marching toward death. Like a howling wind, Vastator whips across a darkened stretch of classic tremolo picking, only to climb like mist through a solo that drips with despair.     

"Open the gates and let revision in", Noctifier screams before being engulfed by the blistering flames from Lord Marco's blast beats. "Slowly dismantle every part of you". 

On "Of the Void", Wrath of Logarius usher black metal into a boundless new realm.   

For this playthrough, Wrath of Logarius used Strega Master Elite series Lamia 7s loaded with custom Arcana Glaive Pickups. 

On Crown of Mortis, Wrath of Logarius bend black metal to fit their formless rule.

Eli Young Band Debuts “Nothing On The Wild” on NBC’s "TODAY with Jenna & Friends"

The 19x RIAA Gold and Platinum-certified country hitmakers, Eli Young Band, join NBC's “TODAY with Jenna & Friends” tomorrow (2/20) in the 10 a.m. hour for the exclusive worldwide debut of their newest independent release, “Nothing On The Wild.” Presave “Nothing On The Wild” ahead of Thursday’s release, HERE.
 
“Most of us boys never really grow up,” Eli Young Band’s Mike Eli shares. “We do stupid and crazy almost to perfection. And when it comes to the band, our lives can be a wild ride.
 
“This song was me telling my wife, Kacey, that the wild and crazy has nothing on the wild and crazy that I am about her.”

Written by Mike Eli, Matt McVaney and Matt Rogers, “Nothing On The Wild” marks the band’s second single released in 2025, following “What Do Lonely People Do.”
 
The band recently celebrated new certifications of their chart topping, Platinum album Life at Best, plus 5x Platinum single “Crazy Girl” and the 3x Platinum “Even If It Breaks Your Heart.”
 
Since their formation as college classmates more than two decades ago, the Associated Press has celebrated Eli Young Band as “a smart, relevant antidote” to overdone clichés in Country music. The musical band of brothers has charted 14 singles on Billboard, including four No. 1 hits with the aforementioned “Crazy Girl,” “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” 2x Platinum “Love Ain’t” and Platinum “Drunk Last Night.” Additionally, Eli Young Band has earned multiple GRAMMY, CMA, CMT, ACM, ACA and Teen Choice Award nominations.

The Life of Country Music Icon Loretta Lynn to be Celebrated in New Stage Musical, 'Coal Miner’s Daughter,' Starring Tony-Award Winner Sutton Foster

 The music and life story of beloved country music icon and legend Loretta Lynn will be celebrated and depicted in a new stage musical COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER starring Tony Award-winner Sutton Foster. 
 
The production is in development under the direction of Tony Award-winner Sam Gold. Music Production is by Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori. Gold and Tesori last worked together on the Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home.
 
Loretta Lynn's manager, producer, and daughter, Patsy Lynn, and longtime adviser, Nancy Russell, will act as consulting producers.
 
Inspired by the award-nominated 1980 film and autobiography by Loretta Lynn and George Vecsey, Coal Miner's Daughter chronicles Loretta’s rise from humble beginnings in rural Kentucky to country music legend. The stage adaptation will include songs from Loretta’s career and share stories from Loretta’s life beyond the film’s ending.
 
Loretta Lynn, one of country music’s most iconic figures, left an indelible mark on the genre with a career spanning over six decades. Known for her powerful storytelling and unapologetically honest lyrics, she sold over 45 million records worldwide and earned numerous accolades, including multiple Grammy Awards, Country Music Association (CMA) awards, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Her legacy includes timeless hits such as “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” and “The Pill.”  Lynn’s career, which began in the early 1960s, was marked by its longevity and influence. She passed away on October 4, 2022, at the age of 90, leaving behind a profound impact on music and culture.
 
"We are so grateful to see that our mother's life story and music will continue to touch the hearts of audiences and remain an important statement of the American dream,” said the family of Loretta Lynn. “As one of the last creative projects our mom was so passionate about, we are thankful that she had the opportunity to experience the initial stages of Sutton's sincere portrayal of Loretta. Mom absolutely fell in love with her and thought she was just the right person to play her onstage. The family is moved by this incredible team's commitment to her legacy." 
 
The producing team committed to bringing the iconic story of Loretta Lynn’s life to the stage include Broadway veterans Kristin Caskey, Mike Isaacson, Bee Carrozzini, and ATG Entertainment.
 
Released on March 7, 1980, Coal Miner’s Daughter received seven Academy Award nominations including Best Picture and Best Writing and Sissy Spacek won the Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Coal Miner’s Daughter was also awarded Best Motion Picture by the Golden Globes, National Board of Review, National Film Preservation Board and the Academy of Country Music Awards.

STAN LYNCH (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) Announces Formation of THE SPEAKER WARS + Debut Music Video

STAN LYNCH, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, long-time drummer and founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, announces today the formation of THE SPEAKER WARS. After two decades of recording and touring multiple albums with The Heartbreakers, STAN moved to the other side of the recording console and shifted his focus to production and songwriting. Over the years, STAN has written and produced hits for artists in multiple genres, including the Eagles, Don Henley, Tim McGraw, The Mavericks, Ringo Starr, The Byrds, Toto, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

Watch the Debut Music Video for “You Make Every Lie Come True” below:

While writing in Nashville, a publisher introduced STAN to Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis, who was gathering material for a solo record on a major label. After accumulating an album’s worth of songs, Jon abandoned working on a solo record and the two decided to start a band to perform the newly created material. Adding Jay Michael Smith on guitar, Brian Patterson on bass, Steve Ritter on percussion, and Jay Brown on keyboards, THE SPEAKER WARS was born.

The band then headed into 5M Studios in Denton, TX, with co-producer Mike Pisterzi, and produced a full-length album. Upon hearing the material, Frontiers Records immediately signed the band, and their debut album is scheduled for release on May 30th.

STAN LYNCH says:

"After my 20-year tenure with the Heartbreakers, I got a second act writing and producing. It was educational beyond measure to learn how to create music from the other side of the glass. Around this time, I met Jon Christopher Davis in Nashville who casually mentioned that we should start a band –– so here I am –– in THE SPEAKER WARS and it's good to have my old job back. The guys in our new band know how to make great music, and I'm looking forward to another round.”

Pre-Order 'The Speaker Wars' HERE

THE SPEAKER WARS are:

Stan Lynch - Drums

Jon Christopher Davis - Vocals

Jay Michael Smith - Guitar

Brian Patterson - Bass

Steve Ritter - Percussion

Jay Brown - Keyboard

LORDS OF ACID Announce 2025 "Praise The Lords" Tour Featuring New Lead Singer Carla Harvey (ex-Butcher Babies) With Support From Little Miss Nasty.

Prepare for night after night of electrifying performances, stimulating beats, and raw, unbridled sensory fuel as two of the most provocative and bold acts in the music industry unite for the must-see "PRAISE THE LORDS" Tour 2025!

LORDS OF ACID

Known for their iconic mix of industrial, electro, and dance music, Lords of Acid has been shaking the foundations of the music world since the early '90s with hits like “Pussy” and “I Sit on Acid.” Their live shows are notorious for their energy, boundary-pushing visuals, and relentless dance grooves. This tour marks a monumental chapter in the band’s long-standing legacy and a new chapter as former

Butcher Babies singer CARLA HARVEY joins the band.

"I had three favorite bands in high school: Guns N’ Roses, Pantera and LORDS OF ACID. Each one shaped me and uniquely influenced me as an artist. LOA had me hooked from the moment I heard “I Sit On Acid” as a teenager dancing the night away at Detroit’s goth Industrial Haven City Club. My obsession with LOA only grew after I saw Coop’s artwork on the cover of “Voodoo U”. Now I get to record an album and go on tour with my industrial heroes! Pinch 16 year old me! She’ll be the one in the vocal booth. I’m adding a bucket list item to my resume: Reigning “Acid Queen”. Praise the Lords!" - CARLA HARVEY 

"We are delighted to have such a fearlessly, powerful and strong women as Carla Harvey is as the new "Acid Queen"! Carla has a history as a successful heavy metal singer but her ability, range and styles are broad and impressive! She is more than cut out for the job as the new singer for

LORDS OF ACID. Plus she is drop dead gorgeous and a total professional. And Little Miss Nasty are perfect to have on tour with us. They too are fearless and unapologetically bad ass women. I have admired watching them create a huge name for themselves since they first toured with LOA in 2019." - MAURICE ENGELEN

LORDS OF ACID manager Marc Jordan says -

"We have engineered and envisioned this tour to be like no other tour LOA has ever done. When you walk into the venue, you will know exactly where you are - at a Lords Of Acid show. The pre show ambience, the lighting, the visuals and the atmosphere need to transport, elevate and stimulate the audience physically, mentally and spiritually. With LITTLE MISS NASTY and LORDS OF ACID, this whole night breathes debauchery, darkness, fun and pure sensory overload from beginning to end."

LITTLE MISS NASTY

Little Miss Nasty is widely recognized as the global icons of dark performance art and burlesque inspired dance. They blend elements of metal, goth, EDM, industrial and hip-hop with provocative choreography, big theatrical production, bold and sensual visuals, and a fierce, empowered attitude. Little Miss Nasty also released their debut album Weapon Of Choice last year and continues to release critically acclaimed original songs.

Movements Share New Song "Where I Lay" — LISTEN // Tour Kicks Off 3/1

MOVEMENTS are delighted to share the brand new song "WHERE I LAY."

Watch and listen via the visualizer below.

The song boasts Movements' signature push and pull guitar tension, but there is a level of stunning refinement of the band's sonic hallmarks. It also finds the band exploring some territory it had stepped away from in the songwriting process.

"'Where I Lay' is one of those songs that was tough for me to write," says vocalist Patrick Miranda. "Lyrically, it's really emotionally vulnerable and it had me revisiting places with my writing that I hadn't explored in a while. It's for anyone else out there who feels like they've never quite fit right in the world. This one is for the outcasts."

Regarding the single's striking, black and white artwork and its overarching connective tissue with the previously released Movements song "Afraid To Die," Miranda states, "It's a behind-the-scenes film photo that I took at the 'Afraid To Die' music video shoot!"

He furthers, "The idea is that 'Afraid To Die' and 'Where I Lay' are living in the same world thematically — and, in some ways, are extensions of one another. In 'Afraid To Die,' I'm being chased by masked figures. In 'Where I Lay,' the masked figure is going to be me. Since 'Where I Lay' is about feeling like you don't belong; it's almost this idea that the reason I was being chased in 'Afraid To Die' is because I never really was supposed to be part of the group of masked figures to begin with. It's like you're wearing a mask to try to blend in, but in the end, it's pointless... because one way or another, you'll be found out."

In other Movements news, the band will embark on their 2025 North American Tour, joined by special guests Citizen, Scowl, and Downward. Produced by Live Nation, the 24-city tour kicks off on March 1 at Marquee Theatre in Tempe, AZ making stops across North America in Atlanta, Toronto, Brooklyn, Detroit, Chicago, and more, before wrapping up in Los Angeles at The Torch at the LA Coliseum on April 6.

ABOUT MOVEMENTS:
It's been a whirlwind few years for Movements as evidenced by the fact that band's 2020 albumNo Good Left to Givedebuted at #3 on the Alternative chart and their streams have doubled since then with 478 million total streams in the U.S. alone. However, despite their success, the Southern Californian act have constantly reinvented themselves since forming in 2015 and the band's third full-lengthRUCKUS!sees the post-hardcore quartet taking their sound to expansive and sometimes unexpected places. Produced by longtime collaborator Will Yip (Circa Survive, Code Orange), the album fuses post-hardcore and punk influences with a healthy dose of pop songcraft to create an album that defies scene conventions in favor of something wholly unique. In order to accomplish this, the band made three extended trips to Yip's Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, to write and record the collection of songs that would end up asRUCKUS! "I truly don't believe that it could have been a more streamlined process and I don't think we've ever written music that's as good as what we put together for this record," Miranda explains.RUCKUS!sees the band integrating decidedly different influences such as Gorillaz and Strokes into their sound to challenge people's preconceptions.

Profiler Release Deluxe Version of "A Digital Nowhere" + Share "Faker" Visualizer

 PROFILER have released the deluxe edition of their debut album A Digital Nowhere, via SharpTone Records, along with a visualizer for the focus track"Fakers;" a song which Mike Evans describes to be "about drug and alcohol abuse" and "using substances to escape one's personal pain."

The new deluxe edition is available to stream on all major platforms here. 

Watch the visualizer for "Fakers" below:

ABOUT PROFILER:

Profiler are a nu metal reawakening from the mind of vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans. This band is inspired by those who have incited change in genres, arts, and theories. It's a weight of legacy that Profiler is comfortable shouldering, backed by SharpTone Records, its home since 2020.

 

After starting as a solo project in Bristol, UK, Evans stepped out from the studio and onto the stage, enlisting bassist/vocalist Joe Johnson and drummer Oscar Hocking. In early 2023, Hocking departed to be replaced by Brad Ratcliffe, cementing the line-up that would forge 2024's debut album — A Digital Nowhere.

 

Profiler's nu-metal-grunge-alt-rock, call it what you want, is an abrasive distorted soundscape that reverently glances back to those genres' heydays. Profiler is for anyone who misses or missed the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement or the explosion of nu-metal that dominated the '00s and the genre-bending bands they made a path for.

Manchester electro pop artist Richard Evans shares 'Aidoru' single, previewing new album

Manchester-based electro pop artist Richard Evans is back with his new single. 'Aidoru', released via Cold Star Media, is named for the Japanese word meaning "idol". The song's lyrics explore the status of a virtual pop idol designed only to please its audience as it sings of love with no understanding of what the word means.

A British-Irish electronic musician, writer and digital media artist, Evans' foray into the music scene includes time as the keyboardist in UK cult band James, with whom he also co-wrote and recorded material, and as guitarist and songwriter for St. Vitus Dancers.

'Aidoru' previews Evans' new 'Quantum' album, released in stereo, binaural and spatial audio mixes, created by award-winning Swiss sound designer Hervé Girardin. Recorded at Cold Star Studios, this nine-track collection itself is themed around artificial intelligence -  probing its impact upon us,  how algorithms are changing us and questioning what responsibility we bear for the things we create.

"This song is one of the first written for the new album and marks a change in my writing process, being originated on just piano and vocals rather than devised within studio software. I specifically wanted a bright, hi-energy track to match the commerciality of the virtual idol concept. The lyrics reflect a creation that is designed for just one purpose - to serve its listeners," says Richard Evans.

Last year, Evans released his 'Dream of the World' EP, composed and recorded in the aftermath of a life-threatening illness. In 2022, Evans was struck with Miller Fisher Syndrome, a rare auto-immune disorder that threatened to rob him of his ability to speak, sing, and play music. Yet, against all odds, he emerged victorious, relearning everything from scratch -  a testament to his unwavering determination and a celebration of his triumph over adversity.

Richard Evans' draws inspiration from real-world science, exploring biotechnology, machine intelligence and the environment. For this album, existing songs were refined and new material was written, combining the warmth of classic synths with pared-down lyrics that explore real-world subject matter.

His 2022 debut record 'Sentinel' is an electro-pop concept album that touches on micro-plastics, gene editing, stardust, technogenic disasters and human evolution, telling the story of humanity at a tipping point and a world trapped in a climate crisis. Both 'Sentinel' and 'Dream of the World' were met with critical acclaim and global airplay.

He has performed live shows at festivals around the UK and at the end of 2023, a year on from the illness, he delivered his first large-scale outdoor production with visuals projected onto the exterior of a  venue during a performance. In 2024, Evans also received the Cultural Accelerator commission from Media Immersive Technology Innovation Hub to prototype a new live production featuring hologram-style projections, spatial audio and lighting effects.

Evans also wrote, directed and produced the science fiction drama 'AEON'. An author of many short stories, he also published the novel 'KOSMONAUT ZERO' (via Dead Ink), researched at Star City Cosmonaut Training Centre. He also oversaw the 'Gagarin 50' exhibition for the 50th anniversary of the first human spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin.

As of February 18, 'Aidoru' is available everywhere online, including Spotify, Apple Music and directly from the artist via Bandcamp. The full 'Quantum' album will be released on April 25 via Cold Star Media.

GARAGE ROCK PIONEERS THE FIFTH ESTATE DROP "HOLD YOU CLOSER" SINGLE & VIDEO FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THEN AND NOW

A rock band out of a factory section of Stamford, CT by way of NYC. The Fifth Estate often played 5 or 6 hours a night, 6 nights a week, for months at a time. They rocked harder and heavier than most bands of the 60s. This did them no great service due to the AM Radio pop required of the day. So on a bet at a NYC party they jokingly did “Ding Dong The Witch is Dead”. It was a huge hit around the world. This and 3 other hits moved them on to huge concert around the country. Live they were ahead of things in the 60s and as Tomorrow Is My Turn could show you they already played what would become the thing in the 70s and again in the 90s and then and now again with bands like Oasis in the 2020s.

They stayed all these years doing what they do. Sometimes underground. Sometimes above ground. And now they will release a timeless album called THEN and NOW of all new tunes and a few covers. With the great guitar player and Grammy Winning producer Paul Nelson (Johnny Winter) on it, you can hear all that again. Starting with the first single “Hold You Closer”.

Watch video Below:

As Ken Evans states about the first single, “”Hold You Closer” is a rather beautifully heart felt tune about life and love when in the music business. May be understood by most musicians instantly and then soon by all. From Lover's Leap Bridge to the exhilarating real thing all in a day and night.” There are 15 songs in all with an amazing rendition of the classic “Great Balls of Fire”.

Watch the "When The Devil Commands" Music Video here.

The Duke of Spook himself dubs the album as a fun, campy, "leave-your-brain-at-the-door" rager and a true return to his hard-rocking roots! Produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z'Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver), the album oozes infectious '80s sleaze metal energy, further accented by a blitzing guest vocal from Faster Pussycat's Taime Downe.

WEDNESDAY 13 has unveiled the album's first single, the ultra-catchy "When The Devil Commands," and its equally raucous, blasphemous new music video. The track stuns with an unforgettable hook, charging arena rock-laden drum production and chugging guitars.

WEDNESDAY 13 comments, "Growing up in the '80s, I remember the satanic panic of heavy metal music and parents' concern over what their kids were listening to. My mother was constantly checking my cassettes and making sure I wasn't possessed by the devil. Most of the music that I listened to never had any of those themes, but they were just accused of it. So when writing the lyrics to this song, I wrote what I thought would terrify my mother if she had stumbled upon this music. I wanted the lyrics to be upfront and leave no question as to what they were about...The Devil. This song is done in a fun spirit, and we don't plan on burning any churches in the future."

Eerie introductory track "There's No Such Thing As Monsters" vibrates with electricity before industrial-tinged "Decease and Desist" kicks in full blast.WEDNESDAY 13's trademark crooning wastes no time entering the fold as he careens through the high-octane horror anthem, before tracks like "Rotting Away" and "Blood Storm" ensnare with metallic goth-punk energy that will have crowds moving wall to wall. Featuring Faster Pussycat's Taime Downe on guest vocals, standout heavy rocker "No Apologies" is a fast-romping exorcism of toxic demons, while the triumphant mini-murder ballad "Decapitation" riles up listeners with a catchy lead riff before making a hard left into a theatrical bridge straight out of a sinister '60s sock hop! Ragers like "In Misery," "Xanaxtasy" and "Sick and Violent" explore various genres of metal, injecting the album with elements of gripping heaviness for any listener, while downtempo stunners "I Hurt You" and "My Funeral" approach a more pensive territory. 

Although its title, Mid Death Crisis, may suggest otherwise, the Duke of Spook shows zero signs of stopping on this refreshingly powerful and multi-faceted entry into the WEDNESDAY 13 hall of horrific history!

Pre-Order Mid Death Crisis here.

Nightfall Return with Darkest, Catchiest and Most Epic Album Yet

Since 1991, Nightfall have stood alongside Rotting Christ and Septicflesh as the pioneering trinity of Greek metal. The blackened death metal band sound as vengeful as ever. But the Athenians' upcoming eleventh album is their darkest and most epic creation yet. Backed by monumental production, a powerful message and the biggest choruses in the band's 30-year history, with Children of Eve, Efthimis Karadimas and his fellow rebels are set to unite blackened souls everywhere.   
 

"I love how this album came out", Efthimis says. "We're excited to play these songs live. The sound is massive. The choruses are huge. And there's a message that comes through. It's an album about how we come through pain, how we live with pain and how we die in pain".
 

Watch the vengeful video for the album's anthemic lead single "I Hate" below.

The video for "I Hate" was directed and produced by Adam Barker


Children of Eve comes out May 2, 2025 on Season of Mist.

Like their brothers-in-arms, Nightfall sculpt towering gothic melodies from their blackened slab of death metal. After all, they're the first Greek band to perform at Wacken Open Air. Children of Eve is blessed with the mightiest set of hooks in their deep discography. Their new album was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen, who's worked with Volbeat, Amaranthe, The Black Dahlia Murder and many other big names from metal's pantheon. "I Hate" seethes with thunderous bass, riffs that crack like lightning and blast beats from ex-Septicflesh drummer Fotis Benardo that flow with all the fire and fury of the River Styx.

"I am a manic servant of deity of doom", Efthimis roars as a Greek choir echoes his righteous anger like the call of a siren.

Their new single will have the festival masses headbanging and raising horns, but it wouldn't bear the mark of Nightfall if it didn't possess a deeper message. While the band's disdain for the restrictions of the Eastern Orthodox Church has only grown, their latest act of rebellion was fueled by the ongoing rise of religious wars. "Anger was the root", Efthimis reveals about what inspired Children of Eve. In the video for "I Hate", a fallen warrior is resurrected, only to hunt down his guardian angel.

"Faith is a personal matter", Efthimis continues, "but it can become a dirty business".

It's a message that the frontman hopes will unite metal messiahs across the globe. While Nightfall was on hiatus during the 2010s, Efthimis was diagnosed with depression. He now wears a black mask to cover half of his face to symbolize what's it's like to live under the invisible veil of mental illness. "We can talk about this. We can sing about it", he says when asked about the band's new initiative Metal Music Against Depression (MMaD), which is supported by the European Alliance Against Depression in Germany. "We can build a community that's based on understanding".  

With Children of Eve, Nightfall return from the shadows to unite blackened souls everywhere with their darkest and most epic creation yet.

RED REIGN SET TO OPEN FOR LA GUNS THIS SPRING, IN SUPPORT OF 'DON'T LOOK BACK' LP

Virginia-based rockers Red Reign are honored to announce a string of east coast dates that they will open for LA Guns throughout late April and early May. 

 

The band will be performing standout tracks from their most recent album, 'Don't Look Back.' 

 

"We are excited to be back on the road supporting one of our favorite bands, LA Guns," said the band in a statement. 

"We are looking forward to being back on stage performing live – material from our latest release and fan favorites, and continuing to meet new friends along the way."

 

Taking 80’s influences but steering them in a more contemporary direction, Red Reign (which is comprised of members singer/guitarist Carlton “Bubba” McMichael, guitarist Stevie Shred, bassist Larry Moore, and drummer Sammy Lee) bridge the sounds of yesterday and today, and can compete with the current active rock radio climate – as heard throughout their aforementioned 2023 full-length debut, ‘Don’t Look Back,’ which was supported by opening shows last year for classic rockers Nazareth. 

 

Overseen by Grammy Award-nominated multi-platinum producer David Ivory(Halestorm, Silvertide), the ten-track LP features such standout tracks as “Don’t Look Back” (which features a guest appearance by guitarist George Lynch), “Here I Am,” and “No Peace, No Love.” The band strongly feels that “All types of music lovers can find what they like in each one of our songs.” To check out the group's music video for "Don't Look Back," below.

Debt Neglector Release New Single "Apocalypse Soon" via Smartpunk Records

Smartpunk Records' outspoken political punk rockers Debt Neglector have released their new single "Apocalypse Soon" from their upcoming full-length album "Kinda Rips," which is set to release on April 4, 2025 via Smartpunk Records.

Listen here.

When discussing the single, Debt Neglector says, "What if there was a war in America? This song is about watching your neighborhood burn because we let fascists and oligarchs take over the country. Will our authoritarian leaders deploy the national guard to squash any protest or dissent? Will we look back in regret because we didn’t do more to stop it all when we had the chance? Things are getting more destabilized in America by the day, and this could be our actual reality before we know it."

ABOUT DEBT NEGLECTOR:
Formed in 2016, these Florida punks have spent the last 8 years honing a sound that showcases their ability to blend catchy hooks with a vicious attitude. With four releases firmly under their belt, the “Atomicland” LP (2017), “The Kids are Pissed” EP (2018), the “Bad Faith” EP (2020), and the “Dirty Water” LP (2021), the band has already established themselves as a group that pulls no punches in their pursuit to call out injustice. Just to name a few, the band has screamed, shouted, and sang about systemic failures and distrust of the government, the fear of impending nuclear war, loss, depression, illness, and the USA’s sick obsession with assault rifles. And they’ve put their money where their mouth is by using their releases to double as fundraising efforts for organizations like the ACLU. Musically, their influences cover a lot of familiar and legendary punk rock ground. Taking notes from punk favorites the Descendents, Dillinger Four, and Bad Religion among others, Debt Neglector aren’t afraid to put their own spin on things. Their music keeps both a reverence for the past and a foot firmly placed in the present. The end result allows the band to craft songs with ripping fast drum beats, sing along choruses, quirky chord changes, and headbanging breaks. With past tours covering the US, Canada, and Europe, the band has set their sights on bringing their brand of pissed off punk music to whoever is ready and willing to listen. Debt Neglector are also no stranger to the festival scene with several appearances at The Fest (FL) and Sing it Out Loud Festival, and a showcase at Pouzza Fest (MTL), they have managed to share the stage with the likes of Propaghandi, Descendents and more. In 2024 Debt Neglector returned to the studio to follow up their past releases with a batch of new songs that has now become the “Kinda Rips” LP (Smartpunk Records – 2025). Their new music remains viciously political but also features some deeply personal topics including the pressures of fatherhood, insecurity, and dealing with mortality. The culmination is an album that is dynamic and relatable from a band whose angry and honest approach is a blunt kick in the pants to the powers that be.

LAINEY WILSON SCORES EIGHTH #1 AT COUNTRY RADIO WITH “4X4XU”

Grammy, CMA and ACM Award-winning artist Lainey Wilson has earned her eighth #1 at country radio via Broken Bow Records with her current single, “4x4xU.” Hailed as “a breezy ode to lasting love” by Rolling Stone, “4x4xU” has quickly become a fan favorite since its release this past summer. Watch the official music video below.

Wilson’s nearly sold-out Whirlwind World Tour is set to kick off in March, adding to yet another landmark year for the singer, songwriter and entertainer. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Coors Light and Wrangler, the tour will include stops at Zurich’s X-TRA, Paris’ Elysée Montmartre, New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Austin’s Moody Center, Baton Rouge’s Raising Cane’s River Center Arena and Denver’s Ball Arena among many others. Special guests on the tour include ERNEST, Muscadine Bloodline, Kaitlin Butts, Maddox Batson, Drake Milligan, Lauren Watkins and Zach Meadows. See below for the complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.laineywilson.com/tour.

Additionally, Wilson recently joined British singer and songwriter Myles Smith for a special remix of his song, “Nice To Meet You,” which is out now. Listen/share HERE.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Wilson’s latest studio album, Whirlwind, was released via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville this past summer and was nominated for Best Country Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. With the album, Wilson achieved her best sales week ever as the record debuted at #8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart—her first top 10 entry. Stream/purchase Whirlwind HERE.

In just the past year, Wilson was also inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, performed during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Halftime Show, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th ACM Awards and two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she also made her hosting debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson also received two awards at this year’s ACM Honors: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.

A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has also collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor, as she made her acting debut in season 5 of Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone and recently returned for its final episode of the series. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.

ABOUT ATTACK ATTACK!

If you went to Warped Tour in the mid 2000’s, shopped at Hot Topic, or were active on Myspace; then you have heard the name “Attack Attack!” While the band’s early career was relatively short-lived, their reputation has done nothing but grow since the band went on indefinite hiatus in 2013. Known for incorporating dance/electronica music with metal, the band consistently bent the rules of songwriting. They took the sounds they liked and crafted seemingly incompatible genres into anthems for local Ohio scene kids, and later, audiences across the globe.

Renowned Rock Singer RUSS BALLARD Revisits Legendary Single “God Gave Rock N' Roll To You” + Shares New Video

Today, renowned rock singer RUSS BALLARD shares a revisited version of his famous hit “God Gave Rock N' Roll To You”, and a new music video, both of which are out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

RUSS BALLARD describes the track by saying:

“It reflected the optimism I felt at the time, with lines like 'love your friend, love your neighbour, love your life and love your labour, it's never too late to change your mind.' It was a hit for Argent and a hit for KISS 18 years later when it was included in the film 'Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey.'”

RUSS BALLARD is simply one of the most renowned and gifted songwriters in pop and rock music. His music career started when he was only 14 years old, and he wrote a tune, which was recorded by The Shadows, appearing on their album, 'The Sound Of The Shadows' in 1964.

During the 70s and 80s, his songs ruled the airwaves, and the list of hits is pretty much endless. From “Since You Been Gone” (Rainbow), “God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You” (Argent and KISS), “So You Win Again” (Hot Chocolate), “New York Groove” (Hello and Ace Frehley), “You Can Do Magic” (America), “Winning” (Santana) or “I Don’t Believe In Miracles” (Colin Blunstone) – just to name a few – everyone who needed a great song knew that with RUSS BALLARD they could not go wrong.

 

Numerous records/artists were also produced by him, like Roger Daltrey, America, Elkie Brooks, Skindred or Sada Vidoo. In 1974, he started a solo career (after his stint with the band Argent in early 70’s), which had its highest momentum with the 'S/t' album in 1984 (which included the hit single “Voices”) and the follow up “The Fire Still Burns”.

Since then, BALLARD has released 10 studio albums and is still writing and producing hits. Three songs from his 1984 and 1985 albums were featured in the TV show “Miami Vice” and were extensively played on dance floors around Europe.

STEPHEN CHESNEY BRINGS TOGETHER SLASH'S SNAKEPIT VOCALIST ERIC DOVER, BASS LEGEND BILLY SHEEHAN, KoRn DRUMMER RAY LUZIER & DIZZY REED OF GUNS N' ROSES: AGENTS OF YOUR DEMISE

The rock world is about to witness the birth of something monumental.

AGENTS OF YOUR DEMISE,

Stephen Chesney's long anticipated project- brought to life with some of the biggest names in rock music - officially unveils its first single,

“NOTHING'S MADE TO LAST."

The track serves as a preview to their upcoming debut album, due for release in the first quarter of 2025, and promises to shake the foundations of rock music.

THE SONGS

"What you hear on the record in a lot of ways is the story of the last 10/15 years of my life. They’re songs written during some crazy peaks and valleys and I think that makes it a very relatable record. A lot of anger, a lot of venting and a few receipts (maybe…) but there’s a pretty good sense of humor kept within the lyrics throughout. The musicianship of the guys involved is as incredible as you’d expect from them, it was amazing having the songs come together with guys that have the ability that these guys do... and then having Dizzy sign on for the final two songs I was tracking made all the time that it took to get to this point worth it.” - Stephen Chesney

THOUGHTS ON THE RECORD

“I had such a blast playing on this record,

Ray Luzier is so awesome on drums and Stephen played some spectacular guitar on his great songs. I’m glad I could be a part of this!”

- Billy Sheehan

ON THE BAND COMING TOGETHER

“Stephen called me and said hey so i’ve got this idea and these guys in mind to put a band together for a record so I said whats in it for me? - He said he’d buy me a lap dance from a stripper and take you to Buc-ee's to buy beef jerky and I said you know what when you put it that way... by god I’m in.” - Eric Dover
