"Automne Pt. 2" has the unique honor of featuring Neige. The ethereal voice of Alcest adds an otherworldly layer to Vestige's visceral soundscape, elevating the song to a plane where agony intertwines with ecstasy.

Théodore Rondeau, the creative initiator behind VESTIGE, embarked on a journey of forming the band during a turbulent phase in his life. Emerged as a creative vessel for a complicated emotional journey, the band transcends the boundaries of individual therapy into a collaborative force that hopefully resonates with the feelings that may be all too common for the human experience.
 

With a profound connection to their craft, VESTIGE pour their souls into their debut album, infusing it with a captivating blend of melancholy, desperation, and catharsis. The music serves not only as an expression of their turmoil, but as a conduit for listeners to navigate the complexities of their own emotions. Through this process, VESTIGEbecomes a project with the potential to connect with people on a profound level, forging a collective experience through the universal language of music.
 

The formation of VESTIGE’s lineup reads like a musical destiny unfolding: Pierre-André Krauzer on the bass, Quentin Regnault on drums, and Théodore on vocals and guitar. They first crossed paths during their tenure in Naraka, a band that shared stages with icons like Cradle of Filth and Alcest. This initial connection laid the groundwork for the formation of the band. Not long after, the addition of Thomas Petit on the second guitar solidified the lineup, bringing a sense of completeness to the ensemble. The band’s sonic identity now established; VESTIGE was ready to share this experience with the world.
 

The signing with Season of Mist brings the band’s first milestone, allowing VESTIGE to share their journey in the form of their debut album, Janis. Poised for release in late 2024, the album is a culmination of their collective efforts and a statement of the band’s arrival in the heavy music scene. Weaving through atmospheric shoegaze textures, melodic landscapes and intense, tormented moments that reflects the emotional spectrum of the human experience, the band established a foothold into the genre of modern metal.
 

Beyond the studio, VESTIGE is gearing up for a series of live performance in 2024, setting the stage for an introspective musical experience that brings raw and authentic energy. A cathartic release that pulls in the listener into the emotional depths the band has to bring.

TURMION KÄTILÖT - ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM 'RESET'

Following the stand-alone single 'Schlachter' featuring Chris Harms of LORD OF THE LOST, ‘Yksi Jumalista’ is the first single from TURMION KÄTILÖT’s new album Reset.

MC Raaka Pee comments about Reset: "I would say that Reset is like a bastard son or daughter of previous records - with tasty new spices added to the whole thing. It has everything you could ever want from us and more. One of the special twists of this album is the vocal parts: the fierce screams are counterbalanced by a huge melodiousness - often at the same time."

He continues about 'Yksi Jumalista': "Especially in difficult situations, I've learned to ask both myself and others, 'What do you want?' I've noticed that when arguments and conflicts arise, people often don't really know what they truly want. In tense situations, that question is incredibly important to ask – otherwise, the main issue is likely to get lost in all the noise."

About TURMION KÄTILÖT:
TURMION KÄTILÖT, the Finnish-singing industrial and electronic metal band hailing from the barren wastelands of Savo, is rapidly becoming a new favorite among open-minded metal fans in the mid-2020s. The odds of their rise to prominence are nothing short of great. Known for their ecstatic and theatrical concerts, TURMION KÄTILÖT invites you to dive into their twisted world of "disco metal." The current lineup features singers MC Raaka Pee and Shag-U, guitarist Bobby Undertaker, bassist Master Bates, keyboardist RunQ, and drummer DQ. Since the early 2000s, this vivid sextet has been delivering a unique blend of electrifying heavy music, characterized by its peculiar, perverted, and catchy style. Their journey includes numerous sold-out concerts, gold and platinum records, and Emma nominations (Finland's equivalent to the Grammys).
 
TURMION KÄTILÖT's depraved disco ball has also shone beyond Finland. Many fans remember their legendary European tour with PAIN in 2011. In the 2020s, their fame continued to grow, highlighted by their selection as the opening band for NIGHTWISH's sold-out European arena tour in 2022. Now, TURMION KÄTILÖT is ready to unveil their latest creation: Reset. Founding member and main songwriter MC Raaka Pee explains, "Reset is simply the perfect name for our new studio album. For us, Reset is more about taking advantage of everything we've learned over two decades and then adding new nuances to our metallic disco vortex." With twenty years and ten studio albums behind them, Turmion Kätilöt continues to push their boundaries. "We have relentlessly raised our own bar with every record," says the band. "Reset is our best album to date, and we simply couldn't be more satisfied."
 
Reset features all the hallmarks of TURMION KÄTILÖT: twisted synths, underfoot grooves, pounding beats, and cryptic lyrics, all with a stronger musical vision than ever before. The album is described as a "bastard child" of their previous records, with new spices added. The vocal parts, a mix of fierce screams and melodiousness, add a special twist.
 
"We have gained more courage to explore drastic musical and lyrical angles," the band states. "Sometimes the lyrics and the musical mood seem to come from completely different worlds, but that's exactly what makes the whole thing fascinating. That's what Turmion Kätilöt is all about!"
Key tracks from the album include singles 'Yksi jumalista,' 'Pulssi,' and 'Sinä 2.0,' though the band emphasizes that the entire album is a varied entity. "If we had to decide now which new songs to perform at future shows, we would play the whole new album!"
 
The production of Reset benefits from the powerful sound engineered by keyboardist and producer RunQ in his brand-new studio. The album's sound palette ranges from completely organic to entirely electronic, creating a hugely powerful combination. Reset also offers an interesting opportunity to compare old and new TURMION KÄTILÖT with the song 'Schlachter,' a new German version of their classic 'Teurastaja.' Originally released on their debut album, this updated version features new arrangements and lyrics. While the band remains committed to singing in Finnish, they remain open to future possibilities. "In the future, we can sing in English, German, Swedish, or we may invent our own language. Let's see." MC Raaka Pee concludes with a confident smile, "Trust us, we know what we are doing. For this band, it took twenty years, but we finally know what we are doing. Now we are just going to enjoy the ride. So, if someone is interested in a wild ride on the twisted side, please reset and jump in!"

Hopium is full of desire yet mixed with the bittersweet taste of longing. Produced by guitarist/keyboardist Diego Cafolla alongside his brother and drummer Thundra Cafolla, the album ranges from dark introspection to joyous crescendos.

Lead single "Kintsugi" draws from the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with a hard-grooving riff, while "Night Drive" is an eerily hypnotic thriller that's the perfect soundtrack for a dark night of the soul. The title track and closing number ends the album on a high note, weaving together progressive rock, ambient and metal music into a gripping tale about societal illusions.   

With Hopium, Kingcrow demonstrate showcase their effortless command of dynamic range and raw emotion.

Silly Goose is the audacious brainchild of Jackson Foster and Alan Benikhis, musicians who eat, sleep, and breathe the raw power of late '90s rap rock and nu metal. Growing up, the two marinated in the vibes of Limp Bizkit, Rage Against the Machine, Gojira, and an eclectic mix of genres, all coming together to forge the unmistakable sound of Silly Goose.
 
Silly Goose's first EP, The Goose Is Out Of The Bag, was put together while the boys were still in high school and laid the groundwork for their ambitious style, while simultaneously showcasing one of the attributes that their fans most appreciate – a commitment to delivering hard-hitting music without taking themselves too seriously. At the end of the day, Silly Goose are all about providing an outlet for all kinds of feelings, from frustration to rage, resentment and revenge to reveling in the joy of occasionally wanting to just be silly and mosh for the sheer exhilaration of it.
  
The new single "Tsunami" pushes boundaries in the spirit of the previously released tracks "King Of The Hill" and "Live It Up," marking a massive milestone as their first release since signing with Blue Grape Music.
 
What truly sets Silly Goose apart is their fusion of high-energy performances with a genuine, down-to-earth vibe. They never take themselves too seriously. Their simple mission is to make good music, have fun and make the people happy; a purpose that endears them to fans who appreciate the authenticity of their vibe. Silly Goose isn't just a band; they're a brotherhood of rockers who live to shred and put on unforgettable live shows.
  
The current lineup of Silly Goose features Foster on lead vocals, Benikhis on drums, Ian Binion on lead guitar and backup vocals, and Yalli Alvarez on bass guitar and backup vocals. Together, they create a sound that's both explosive and deeply engaging, powered by Jackson's dynamic vocal delivery and the band's relentless instrumentation. 

ABOUT BLUE GRAPE MUSIC:
In 2022, industry veterans David Rath and Cees Wessels formed Blue Grape Music.  The name will be familiar to rock music fans, as it was the merchandise company also launched by Wessels, who founded the venerable and esteemed record label Roadrunner Records in the ‘80s. Roadrunner earned a reputation as an iconic label that turned hard rock and metal acts into household names for several decades under Wessels' tutelage. Rath spent 21 years in the A&R department at Roadrunner, working on albums by a variety of RIAA-certified and culturally important acts, including but not limited to Slipknot, Korn, Turnstile, Gojira, Coheed and Cambria, White Reaper, Slash, Trivium, Dream Theater, and more. When the label changed management and ownership, Rath guided the company and oversaw the signings of bands like Young the Giant and Vance Joy. Ultimately, the Blue Grape executive team is powered by experience and a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-your-hands-dirty, by-any-means-necessary work ethic. Blue Grape's inaugural signing was the two-time Grammy nominee Code Orange and since then, the label has gone on to sign San Francisco punks Spiritual Cramp, hardcore heavyweights GEL, and Baltimore sludge slingers GASKET, with several new signing announcements expected to be announced this year. Blue Grape is distributed globally by The Orchard.

LOLITSLEA Releases Neon Pop-Punk Single "What's That To You" Feat. glimmers and Magnolia Park

DEBUT ALBUM NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!, OUT OCTOBER 11

Yesterday, lolitslea released "What's That To You" featuring guest vocals from glimmers and Joshua Roberts from Magnolia Park. It's a sassy, showstopping mashup spotlighting three of today's fastest-rising acts in the pop-punk scene. The powerhouse collaboration on this track is no coincidence as the song taps into the angsty, heavy, and aggressive feelings synonymous with pop punk's origins.

When asked about the song, lolitslea says, "'What’s That To You?' is a salty tune about stubbornness with a twist of aggressive, riff-driven pop punk. I guess my new stuff is just not his style, *shrug* This tune features glistening pop punk band, glimmers, and Joshua Roberts from Magnolia Park."

 lolitslea is the epitome of bright, nostalgia-driven music for today's youth (imagine if Artist Vs Poet or Hey Monday came out in 2024). Growing up in the small, yet touristy beach town of Point Pleasant, NJ, lolitslea was homegrown from all kinds of music from the Asbury Park alternative scene and Warped Tour era. The neon-pop punk bangers on her upcoming album "NOTHING LASTS FOREVER!" are relatable, danceable, and oh-so-fun!

LOLITSLEA 2024 TOUR DATES:
10/9 —  Philadelphia, PA —  The Rotunda
10/10 —  Asbury Park, NJ —  Bond Street Bar
10/11 —  Baltimore, MD —  Zen West
10/12 —  Raleigh, NC —  Kings
10/15 —  Orlando, FL —  Will's Pub
10/18 —  Atlanta, GA —  Smith's Olde Bar
10/19 —  Murfreesboro, TN —  1507 Diana St

ABOUT LOLITSLEA:
Growing up in the small, yet touristy beach town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, lolitslea was homegrown from every and all kinds of music that came out of the Asbury Park alternative scene and Warped Tour era. The independent artist has intertwined the boldness of punk and the colors of pop to bring back the bright sounds of the Neon Pop Punk scene we all grew to love in the mid-2000s. Think Artist Vs Poet or early Fall Out Boy.

After topping the charts with her college a cappella group (Twisted Measure), lolitslea set off to grow her project. lolitslea's sound has been produced and developed by emo icons such as Chase Coy (formally with Universal Music Group), Tom Denney (formerly A Day To Remember), and Roye Robley (Meet Me @ The Altar, Fluorescents), with features from Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens), Bemo Rouge, Joshua Roberts (Magnolia Park), glimmers, Smooth Brain, and more to come.

lolitslea is finishing up her debut full-length to be released October 2024. Following that, she'll be busy in writing sessions with Dan Swank (All Time Low, Taylor Acorn), Cassadee Pope (Hey Monday), Cameron Walker, and many more.

GAEREA Show Their True Faces on New Single "Unknown"

"As someone who's already heard Coma in full, you're getting a glimpse at one of the best metal records of 2024" - Metal Injection

"One of extreme music's most commanding, compelling forces" - Knotfest 

"...separates itself from the pack thanks to hearty doses of dark melody, top notch production and skilled songwriting" - Decibel

"...builds upon itself until the sound and fury can’t be contained any longer, spilling over itself with raging vocals and pounding blast beats".- Metal Sucks

"Terrifying at times, but beautiful, almost like life" - New Noise

"Gaerea really aren’t like the other black metal bands...If you have any care for music as heartrending as it is heavy, this is a must-listen" - Angry Metal Guy

"...increasingly wizard-like and meteorically rising" - No Clean Singing

Though they formed during the most uncertain time in recent history, Gaerea emerged from pandemic limbo with a new strand of black metal. Instead of pagan beliefs or lo-fi fidelity, the masked visionaries were guided by a purging of raw emotions. The world has quickly come to share their vision, following them from the gates of Hellfest to tours across China and the U.S. 

But on their upcoming fourth album, Gaerea are proving that they're no longer just a black metal band. While it still packs plenty of bloodied emotion, with Coma, the Portuguese sensations are poised to surface to the top of extreme metal. On "Unknown", they unveil both the beauty and brutality of their new identity.

Watch the luminous video for "Unknown" below.

Coma comes out October 25, 2024 on Season of Mist. 

Pre-order & Pre-save: https://orcd.co/gaereacoma

When Coma was secretly introduced back in May, Gaerea set the world ablaze. The album's first official single raised everyone's hopes by delivering an anthem for our dying era. "Unknown" heightens the anticipation to an unbearable degree. Like an out-of-body experience, the opening guitar solo hovers as if suspended from a ghostly height, grounded by a warm but numbing bass line.   

The maze-like existence that Gaerea speak of on Coma becomes hazier on "Unknown". Even when the song opens into soft post-rock passages, the melodies are haunted by a familiar dread. "A mere observer, detached creature", the band's tortured vocalist cries out, as if forced to watch some other masked deviant write his life story.  

But Gaerea know who they are. Within its many twists and turns, "Unknown" springs with more deadly hooks than a booby trap. The riff slithers and shakes with minor key tremolo picking before the chorus worms into your ear canals with sharp pangs of melodic distortion. Once the blast beats have sucked you into their vortex, the band's sheer artistic force is blinding, like looking upon the face of god. "This is who I am, sublime". 

With "Unknown", Gaerea make their presence felt on the world of extreme metal. 

The video for "Unknown" was directed by Claudio Marino and produced by Artax Film.

To usher in this new era, Gaerea are touring behind Coma later this year. The masked sensations will return to North America in November with Zeal & Ardor and ZETRA.

Seven Hours After Violet Announces Debut Album; Drops New Single & Music Video "Radiance"

Seven Hours After Violet, the new heavy metal powerhouse led by Shavo Odadjian, bassist of the iconic, multi-platinum band System of A Down, is thrilled to announce their self-titled debut album, scheduled for release on October 11th, 2024, through Sumerian Records imprint 1336 Records. This announcement comes alongside the release of the band's ethereal second single, "Radiance," which is available now on all major streaming platforms, accompanied by a visually stunning music video. Stream "Radiance" HERE. Watch the official music video below. Pre-Order the debut album, 'Seven Hours After Violet' HERE.

Seven Hours After Violet is the the groundbreaking new project from Shavo Odadjian featuring Taylor Barber (Left To Suffer), Morgoth(platinum-selling producer and guitarist of Winds of Plague), Alejandro Aranda (Scarypoolparty, American Idol) and Josh Johnson(Winds of Plague). They exploded into existence back in June with the release of their debut single 'Paradise' garnering much praise and excitement from both fans and critics alike. Speaking on the announcement of their debut full-length, Shavo shares

"This album is the culmination of years of creative exploration. With Seven Hours After Violet I wanted to return to my roots in heavy music but also bring something entirely new to the table. "Radiance" and its precursor, "Paradise'" are but a small glimpse of the intensity, musical diversity and emotion that run through this album. We can't wait for everyone to hear it in full and to bring these songs to life on stage at our first live performance at Mayhem Fest."

Seven Hours After Violet will play their first ever live show at this year's recently announced Mayhem Fest, taking place at the Glen Helen Amphitheatre in San Bernardino on October 12th. For tickets and further information, head to mayhemfest.com

About Seven Hours After Violet

When the universe aligns, magic happens. This was certainly the case when Shavo Odadjian, the legendary bass player of System of a Down, crossed paths with platinum-selling producer, songwriter and guitarist, Morgoth at a party on 2.22.22. Their initial sessions were a spontaneous combustion of creativity, transforming from a potential solo venture into a full-fledged band. “We wrote a song right away. It wasn’t like any writing session I had been part of before, riffs were just flowing out of me without me even having to try. Every time I felt like I couldn't write anything. Morgoth would hand me a guitar and say, “go, go, go”. I needed that, you know? I needed someone to push me when I wasn't pushing myself. ” Shavo recalls. As music continued to pour out in torrents, with Shavo writing and performing all the guitar and bass parts and Morgoth producing and providing the beats, atmospherics and FX, Morgoth suggested they turn it into a Shavo solo project. However, with his eye now firmly set on the live arena, Shavo decided to create a full band.

Finding the right vocal talent to compliment the musical landscape created by Shavo and Morgoth was crucial. Morgoth’s recommendation of Taylor Barber from Left to Suffer was a game-changer. Shavo was blown away: “He was singing in falsetto one minute and growling the next—it was ridiculous. He became the singer because he knocked every song out of the park.” With Shavo on bass and Morgoth on guitar, the band also brought in Morthgoth’s Winds Of Plague band mate, Josh Johnson on drums and Alejandro Aranda, known for his solo project Scarypoolparty and as runner-up on American Idol, as lead guitarist and backing vocalist.

Once the new music was complete, mixed by Zach Jones and mastered by Maor Applebaum, Shavo partnered with Ash Avildsen,founder and CEO of Sumerian Music Group to create the brand new joint label venture 1336 Records, with Seven Hours After Violet being the first singing.

Texas Hippie Coalition to release new album “Gunsmoke”

Texas rockers TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION are set to release their new album, Gunsmoke, via MNRK Heavy on October 4, 2024. 

This time, Big Dad Ritch and his crew wholeheartedly embrace their country and Southern rock stylings as well as a lifelong passion for westerns. This comes through loud and clear on the first single and title track, "Gunsmoke." Rustic acoustic guitar crawls through a stomping beat punctuated by waves of groaning distortion. It climaxes on a chantable chorus, “I sell weed and liquor to the city slickers. I can get you there quicker, and like a gun…I smoke.”

With drinks poured, fists raised, and smiles wide, TEXAS HIPPIE COALITION (THC) always know how to have a good time. A collective of tried-and-true rabble-rousers and dyed-in-the-wool storytellers, the Texas quintet—Big Dad Ritch [vocals], Cord Pool [guitar], Nevada Romo [guitar], Rado Romo [bass], and Joey Mandigo [drums]—spike ass-whopping hard rock with a kick of country swagger and a whole lot of Texas grit and gusto.

Gathering tens of millions of streams, logging thousands of miles on the road, and energizing countless fans, they deliver ten anthems tailormade to simmer and scorch on Gunsmoke [MNRK Heavy]. “In terms of the lyrics, the vibe, and where THC come from, we definitely went home on this album,” says Ritch. “It represents the wild west Texas-Oklahoma area. You’ve got a little red dirt country spilling over into the storytelling and metal. It’s a return to the dirt where we came from.”

Miranda Lambert Explores “No Man’s Land” With Latest Preview of ‘Postcards from Texas’ Arriving 9/13

Following the recent release of her tongue-in-cheek, honky tonk shuffle “Alimony,” Miranda Lambert takes a vulnerable and reflective turn with today’s release of “No Man’s Land” off her upcoming debut for Republic Records, Postcards from Texas, arriving Sept. 13. 
 
Cowritten with frequent collaborator Luke Dick (“Bluebird,” “Actin’ Up,” “Settling Down”), the evocative ballad showcases Lambert’s unmatched ability to weave narratives of independence and self-discovery, painting a vivid picture of a woman who embodies both the wild beauty of untamed landscapes and the fierce independence of a life lived on her own terms.
 
“‘No Man’s Land’ is a love song to me, and it’s one of my favorite songs I’ve maybe ever written,” reflects the woman whose songwriting Paste celebrates as “unparalleled in country music – and beyond.” “When Luke sent me the initial idea, the lyrics just struck me—they were so beautiful, so raw. It felt like, ‘This is how I can explain it to the man who’s willing to love a girl like me—a free spirit, a wildflower, a wild card but with a big heart and all the love to give.’ It's that sentiment of ‘love her but leave her wild,’ and it’s not really a warning; it’s just a ‘let me tell you what you're getting into, and if you want to jump off and take this ride with me, then let’s go.’”
 
With a voice that speaks directly to the heart, Lambert invites listeners into a world where love is not about possession but about partnership. “‘No Man’s Land’ is like saying, ‘Come with me. Let’s do this together,’ rather than, ‘I’m your property,’” she adds. “It’s about embracing the wild, uncharted territories of love and life, with all the risks and rewards that come with it.”
 
One of 14 musical postcards from Lambert’s home state on her forthcoming album, Stereogum’s “single greatest country star to come along this century,” opens the song with a tribute to West Texas, noting, “I think the line ‘90 miles from Pecos / Lightyears from anywhere’ is both a state of mind and a place. It’s the middle of nowhere, but it’s also a feeling—a place you go in your mind, especially if you’re a creative.”
 
“No Man’s Land” is perhaps the perfect embodiment of what Slate declares to be true of the three-time GRAMMY winner and most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history: “Above all, Lambert’s name has stood for frank, unapologetic self-possession – reveling in the trappings of femininity without allowing them to confine her. She steers through heartbreak when necessary, but always while enroute to a damn good time.”

About Miranda Lambert
Acclaimed groundbreaker/songwriter/superstar Miranda Lambert has defined her multi-faceted career as an artist, entertainer, entrepreneur, advocate and businesswoman with an unflinching quest for excellence, honesty and conviction. With her ninth solo studio album, Postcards from Texas, set for release Sept. 13 via Republic Records, the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, including their top honor for Entertainer of the Year, has also won three GRAMMYs and 14 Country Music Association Awards. A TIME100 honoree and perennial best-of-the-year list maker at the New York Times, TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, People and more, NPR has called her “the most riveting country star of her generation.”
 
With seven No. 1 solo albums, 10 No. 1 hit radio singles, more than 80 prestigious awards and countless Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum sales certifications, she’s conquered Las Vegas with her twice-extended Velvet Rodeo residency and blurred genres with Leon Bridges, Enrique Iglesias, the B-52s, Loretta Lynn, Sheryl Crow and Elle King as well as her LGBTQ+ inclusive anthem “Y’All Means All” for Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” She’s taken those standards to become a New York Times bestselling author and the first woman on Lower Broadway with her Tex-Mex cantina Casa Rosa, while expanding her creative reach with her Wanda June Home collection exclusive to Walmart and her Idyllwind clothing and boot line available at Boot Barn. Driven by her passion for rescue animals, her MuttNation Foundation has raised nearly $10 million since inception to promote adoption, support shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster.

SOUNDCHECKS AND TAPE DECKS = Old School Intro to Supergroup Rosie & the Revival

SOMEWHERE ON THE ROAD – Nobody thought anything about an album, or writing new material. They didn’t even realize when they started blasting through rock, pop, old country and songwriter classics they were sowing the seeds of a band that’s equally funky, gleaming, blazing and joyous. But that’s what happened when extended soundchecks turned into jamming in the off hours, getting together to lay some tracks down turned into writing songs.
 
And now there’s Rosie & the Revival. Six musicians, all singular creative specialists on their own. Together, they’re a musical force to reckon with. Wyatt Beard, Nick Buda, Jon Conley,  Kenny Greenberg, Harmoni Kelley, and Danny Rader have played in enough bands, they recognized the alchemy, moving from playing everyone’s favorite songs to writing their own. Rather than keep it to themselves, they decided to hunker down and capture the chemistry.
 
Soundchecks and Tape Decks is the sum of all that. Five covers, including AC/DC’s band-naming “Whole Lotta Rosie,” six originals from a band who has recorded and toured with artists including GRAMMY-winners Bonnie Raitt, Shelby Lynne, Willie Nelson, the Allman Brothers, Chris Stapleton, Steve Earle, Merle Haggard and Taylor Swift. Designed to create a song cycle that delivers on the Revivals’ vast experience and set of influences, the collection also evokes a time when freeform album rock radio was a place where people could hear all kinds of music tied together by a certain creative intention. 
 
“We didn’t think about making a record,” recalls keyboardist/vocalist Wyatt Beard. “We’ve all played in all kinds of groups, and sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s great. But this was something very different…”
 
“It was really a way to have fun when we were doing soundchecks with Kenny Chesney,” continues guitarist/producer Kenny Greenberg. “We were in Tampa a few years ago, and just started calling out songs. Suddenly, we’d been there almost two hours. Everyone up here takes music very seriously, but this was just a blast. And the more we did it, the more fun we had.”
 
“We can play a lot of different things,” adds multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Jon Conley. “But at our core, Soundchecks and Tape Decks is who we are as musicians, writers, producers. Writing for this turned out to be great, it really focused us as a band. But getting to record songs by everyone from Tom Petty to the Meters to the Stones? When you can find that kind of musical alignment, you start to really understand the engine that drives this band.”
 
Like the Eagles, whose “Already Gone” is included and who coalesced as Linda Ronstadt’s backing band, Rosie & the Revival came together touring with Kenny Chesney, whose own form of rock-steeped country has become a sound and place all its own. Working together on some of America’s biggest – and most intimate – stages creates an almost telekinesis that lets them hairpin-turn almost reflexively. That freedom and torque is all over Soundchecks.
 
To celebrate the release of this stellar group’s debut, No Shoes Radio aired an exclusive interview with the band earlier this week announcing the project, with album tracks “Just Getting Started,” “Wait A Minute” and “Keep It Coming” in regular rotation on the channel all week. With a release date that coincides with Chesney’s tour closing, three nights at Gillette Stadium, it’s also one more reason to celebrate.

Philadelphia's ROCKERS GALORE bring sun-soaked vibes on ‘Sweet Sensei’, previewing debut album

"'Blood In The Sand' stuns with its meticulous craftsmanship. Crowned with a smooth and captivating rhythm, this music boasts an extremely unique feel, seamlessly blending a one-of-a-kind melody with a groove that’ll lock you in" ~ Amplify Music Magazine

"A sonic embrace of the tropics... a potent blend of Marley's optimism, Black Uhuru's raw energy, and Steel Pulse's conscious lyrics, creates a hypnotic soundscape that transports you to a white-sand beach, the salty breeze carrying the infectious beat into your soul" ~ The Spill Magazine


Philadelphia reggae-hip hop collective Rockers Galore presents 'Sweet Sensei',  a summer anthem that's pure sunshine in sonic form and the latest taster of their debut record 'Vamos a la Playa'. This collaborative track was inspired by the love of music and sinsemilla, nature's elixir and bringer of verdant euphoria. Fusing musical talents and cultural influences, Rockers Galore takes us on a journey through sound and storytelling, celebrating the power of collaboration and the enduring allure of sinsemilla.

"Tracing the origins of sinsemilla, 'Sweet Sensei' was inspired by Iya Terra's song 'Real Sensi'. Adam came up with a great guitar melody when we started writing this song. We ended up crafting the beat around it, explains Blayer Point du Jour.

"I wanted to write about the origins of sinsemilla, which grows all over the world. I mentioned Haiti and Peru because I am Haitian and Adam is Peruvian. We hope to visit Peru soon. I created the drum and bass parts. Adam wrote a great guitar melody. Michael created the final drum tacks.  Once we started jamming, we eventually crafted the song around the guitar. Oxana laid down some amazing piano. We went to Milkboy the Studio and worked with Tommy Joyner. Talia added some amazing vocals to the track. It was great to work with her again."

The 'Sweet Sensei' video arrives on the trail of their invigorating single 'Blood In The Sand', featuring Philadelphia guitarist Joe Jordan (Oxymorrons, Pure Hell, JJX) and a passionate Spanish-language spoken word performance by Sydelle Prosopio.

This new single and most of the album tracks were recorded, mixed & mastered at Milkboy the Studio by Tommy Joyner (of Digable Planets), who has overseen recordings by James Taylor, Dave Matthews and Miley Cyrus, among many other notable artists. 'Blood In The Sand' is the excption, being mixed & mastered by Arik Creep at Creep Records Studio.

Founded in 2008 by multi-instrumentalist Blayer Point du Jour, Rockers Galore began as a solo project, transforming into a songwriting partnership with guitarist Adam Benites and gradually involving other passionate and visionary artists. With a fantastic and infectious fusion of old-school funk and brand-new spunk, they cleverly blend roots, hip hop, reggae, rock, Haitian kompa music and Latin rhythms. Since releasing their debut 'Port Au Prince' EP in 2011, they have released numerous singles and EPs. 

Truly a labor of love, their forthcoming 'Vamos a la Playa' album is the product of four years of songwriting, rehearsals, pre-production and arrangements. From initial sketches through to full realization, the tracks found on this album eventually crystallized in a professional studio, where the final recordings were completed and ultimately mixed and mastered.

Blayer Point du Jour explains, "For this album, we took our time and waited until we felt inspired to write. This is a mix of rhythms we enjoy playing. We aim to honor our diverse backgrounds in music and create a new sound that people have not heard before. We believe this is our best work to date. I grew up with a lot of first-generation Americans. We all came from different backgrounds but we learned to respect each others’ cultures. I try to mix the genres in an effort to bring everyone together.”

'Sweet Sensei' is out now, available from fine digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where 'Blood In The Sand' can also be found. The full 'Vamos a la Playa' album will be released on September 13.

Singer/Songwriter Julie Williams Releases "just friends?"; New EP 'Tennessee Moon' Set for Release 10/17

CMT Next Women of Country Julie Williams carries her mixed-race heritage and queerness as proudly as she carries her music. Raised in Florida, Williams has been turning heads in Nashville’s country and Americana music scenes with her compelling mix of storytelling, soft-yet-powerful vocals, and indie folk production. She continues down that creative path with the release of her new track “just friends?” available now. The video for the song will make its world premiere this Monday, Aug. 26 in Times Square via CMT. 
 
The latest from Williams, a blend of both classic country storytelling and queer reflection, is the first taste of new music from her upcoming indie folk project, Tennessee Moon, set for release Oct. 17, 2024. Listen to “just friends?” Below  and pre-save Tennessee Moon HERE.  
 
“I was inspired by my friend and fellow Black Opry artist, Denitia and her song ‘Old Friend’ to write this one,” shares Williams. “Hearing her sing it night after night on tour, I began reflecting on some friends that I am not in contact with anymore and questioned why the ending of those friendships felt like breakups.” 
 
Williams continues, “I am now a confidently-out bisexual woman, but at the time of those friendships, I did not know myself fully. Knowing who I am now, the song is a reflection about those relationships and would they have ended differently. I wanted to capture both the sadness of nostalgia and the beautiful confusion of young love that comes with discovering one’s identity.” 
 
Produced by Jonathan Smalt and written by Williams with Melody Walker, the track is a nostalgic queer story about realizing you once had romantic feelings for an old friend that gives the listener the feeling of traveling down a winding road at sunset reflecting on a lost love driven by a dancing pedal steel, banjo, acoustic guitar, and classic country percussion.

For Tennessee Moon Williams was inspired by some of her favorite singer/songwriters like Boy Genius, Kacey Musgraves, Allison Krauss, Emmylou Harris and Taylor Swift to create a story-driven sonic journey that was both dreamy and moody while seamlessly blending  country, 90s folk and indie production elements.
 
“Tennessee Moon was inspired by a picture that I took of one of my exes as they kayaked at Percy Priest lake under a stunning Tennessee sunset,” shares Williams. “I watched this person - and our relationship - float farther and farther away from me, just as the sky was fading from orange and red to blue and gray. With that picture, and with this EP, I wanted to capture that wistful feeling - of trying to hold onto a beautiful, golden moment that you know in your heart is not going to last. This EP is an ode to my mid-20s - all the golden days, the dark nights, the flowers, and the dirt.”
 
In support of the forthcoming EP, Williams will celebrate with a release show at Nashville’s Blue Room on Nov. 7. Tickets go on sale this Friday, Aug. 23 at 10 am local time. To purchase, visit thisisjuliewilliams.com. 
 
No stranger to performing, Williams has built her career on the road playing over 120 shows in 26 states in the past two years and captivated audiences at festivals such as Newport Folk Festival, CMA Fest, Tortuga Music Fest, High Water Festival, Cayamo, and AmericanaFest. She has also shared the stage with acts across genres, including Jason Isbell, Allison Russell, Mt. Joy, Devon Gilfillian, Brittney Spencer and Will Hoge.
 
Music has always been a part of Williams’ life - honing her singing talent in church and beach bars and belting national anthems before packed stadiums. She grew up listening to everyone and everything from The Chicks and James Taylor to Gladys Knight and Michael Jackson. Even though she was drawn to the storytelling of country music, she never quite found the sound that spoke to everything she was: Black, white, Southern, a woman, hopeful, truthful. So naturally, it was up to Williams to make this sound. “My music is mixed like me,” is how she describes it, “I want to tell the stories that need to be told.”
 
The Florida native started sharing those stories, and people listened. A student at Duke University, she was signed to Small Town Records whose alumni include Mike Posner and Delta Rae and sang as a vocalist for the Duke Jazz Ensemble. After graduating with a public policy degree in 2019, she moved to Nashville and found her musical home in the Black country and Americana scene. She was named in Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2021 and she was featured in a “PBS NewsHour” special on Black women in country music. In 2022, Julie joined the Black Opry, a collective of Black artists in country, blues, folk, and Americana music. Julie was named a CMT Equal Access artist in 2023, joining the mTheory backed program to support marginalized voices in country music.
 
“People want to hear black voices, black stories,” Williams says. “I was nervous about how my songs would be received by Nashville - but people want honesty. They want honest songs about real life, and for the artists they follow to take a stand.”
 
Tennessee Moon follows her self-titled EP, Julie Williams, with American Songwriter praising her “success through the power of her own voice” and the Tennessean noting she “discovers joy, maturation” on the project. 
 
An activist at heart, Williams launched Green Room Conversations in March 2023, a series of performances and speaking on college campuses to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the music industry and her own experience with sexual violence. Williams  hopes to empower the next generation of artists and industry changemakers and has already visited MTSU, University of Texas-Austin, and Duke with more campus visits planned for later this year.
 
“I’m writing my songs for the girl who cries in the shower as she tries to detangle her hair and is afraid to look in the mirror because she hates what she sees; for the 17-year old who is just now learning to love herself; for the 20-or 30-something who is just trying to figure it out," shares Williams. "That’s who my songs are for.”

NYC's Crash Harmony unveils 'Velour Goddess', breaking 30+ year hiatus with debut album (via Magic Door Records)

"A blast of youthful exuberance, raw energy, and unbridled optimism... both nostalgic and fresh. There’s the Replacements’ raw, garage-rock spirit, the Northern Pikes’ innocence and purity, and hooks like a cross between Husker Du and The Go-Betweens, blended into a harmonious concoction that is undeniably their own" ~ The Spill Magazine 


NYC indie rock outfit Crash Harmony presents 'Velour Goddess', the first taste of their debut record 'No One Asked For This', to be released via Magic Door Record Label. Returning after a 30+ year hiatus, the quartet are back with a full-length album of 10 songs, for which they worked with celebrated producer Ray Ketchem (Guided by Voices, Elk City, Gramercy Arms, Luna) at Magic Door Recording in Montclair, NJ.  

Crash Harmony is made up of Dave Derby (vocals, guitars), Mike Potenza (guitars, keyboards, vocals), Jon Nighswander (bass, vocals), and Nils Nadeau (drums, percussion, vocals). Formed in 1986 at Yale University in New Haven, CT, the band played its last gig in May 1988 and hadn’t played together again until beginning to record this album in 2022.  

If you were fortunate enough to ever be part of a vibrant music scene, then you know how intoxicating, how important, how finally cool you felt to live on this newly discovered planet. It was pulsing with energy and possibility, teeming with talent and artists and then, the jaw drop of realizing your planet was actually part of an entire galaxy of scenes vibrating around the country. A truth revealed that rock legends were not just the leather-pantsed strutters on the national stage but dishwashing oddballs strumming in your neighbor's backyard - heroes you could actually meet, try to impress, emulate and maybe one day open for, if dreams could come true. And, for Crash Harmony, they did for a while.

Yale rock - an oxymoron too good to be dismissed, meeting as undergraduates swept up in the current of something more exciting than college – a New Haven music scene that was real. While college was for figuring out what you wanted to be, college rock was for figuring out what you wanted to sound like. Crash Harmony was absorbing everything, and trying it all on for size at house parties, frat houses, and clubs throughout New England.

Nevermind, doesn’t matter, band over. Life happens. Real jobs, other bands. Dave went on to The Dambuilders (and then Gramercy Arms), Mike served on The Anderson Council, Jon left for Europe, and Nils wandered north. But no matter where they went, Crash Harmony still kind of mattered. Eventually, they had to come back. They had to return to that place so, decades later, Crash Harmony reformed to make a new record of old songs - a rock-and-roll reenactment of the New Haven scene that changed them forever.

Like their name, the record is an orchestrated pileup of long-ago influences that collided in the chambers of their broken young hearts and have again wriggled free from their throats and amps, pop gems humming like cicadas and dancing for the pure joy of being alive again.

"Dave and I initially bonded over anglophilia, including a shared love of The Jam, cockney slang and alcohol. I came out of the New Hampshire punk scene and was a founding member of Five Balls of Power (other members went on to join such bands as Dropkick Murphys, Scissorfight and the Radicts). Dave and Nils both were willing to play around with different styles and a level of musicianship that was a notch above the average college band," says Jon Nighswander.

Dave Derby adds, "Nils and I had been in a successful indie pop band. I wanted to create something that was both heavier and more psychedelic in that 80s college radio Paisley Underground sort of way, but then we recalibrated towards more of a 70s vibe. We tried really early on to align ourselves with the New Haven scene and not just the Yale one."

For Crash Harmony, it’s all so clear now – how lucky they were to have been part of a scene and to have met and grown up in ideal conditions to make music that would somehow find a way to live forever... Everybody, kiss your ghost.

'Velour Goddess' is available everywhere digitally, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where the 'No One Asked for This' album is also available for pre-order. Out October 18, it will be released both digitally and on vinyl via the Magic Door Record Label.

OCEANS OF SLUMBER Reimagine "The Given Dream"

The dark cinematic metal band's new single defies any and all conventions

"One of modern metal's brightest hopes" - Metal Hammer

"A band that nails a unique balance and has the potential to do whatever they want" - Angry Metal Guy (4/5) 

"Masterful compositions that reveal more secrets with each listen" - Metal Injection (9/10)

"Dark, turbulent, and above all, incredibly emotional" - New Noise (4/5)

"They are the new Southern gothic, and you need to pay attention" - Distorted Sound (9/10)

"This band is truly something special" - Ghost Cult (8/10)

Though revered by critics and peers, Oceans of Slumber bow to no one. For more than a decade, the Houston band have spurred prevailing trends in both the metal scene and the American South. Instead of adhering to conventional wisdom or slapping a new coat of paint on the same old ideas, they've remade the Southern Gothic in their own progressive image, casting tales of hope and despair against an ever-shifting backdrop of melodic death, doom and black metal.

While they've always been stars in their own right, Oceans of Slumber's upcoming sixth album expands the band's wide-ranging vision to the dark, cinematic heights of a Hollywood blockbuster. Where Gods Fear to Speak is in conversation with The Handmaid's Tale and Cormac McCarthy more than it is Opeth. Their new single "The Given Dream" gives hope to the future of metal by breaking the spell that's lorded over us by the powers that be.   

Listen to "The Given Dream" Below.

Where Gods Fear to Speak comes out September 13 on Season of Mist.

"The Given Dream" awakens with a familiar sense of dread. A dark, ominous synth blares over the speakers with the creeping suspense of an IMAX movie.

To celebrate the release of Where Gods Fear to Speak, Oceans of Slumber are saddling up with their fellow Houston heavies in Necrofier for a fiery performance at Metal Injection Festival.  

"We are thrilled to celebrate Metal Injection's 20th anniversary at this year's festival", says Cammie. "We'll be sharing the stage with amazing bands like Jinjer, Converge, God Forbid, 3 Inches of Blood, Hanabie, Cave In, Rivers of Nihil and our good friends in Necrofier. We can't wait to rock out with you and hit the streets of New York City". 

Metal Injection Festival
Sunday, September 22 - Brooklyn, NY @ Brooklyn Monarch & Meadows [TICKETS]

“We just hope to grow the band. We’ve had a problem with reaching the next level, but I’m hoping this record makes the difference, and people just give us a shot,” Dobber concludes. “The band is great and it’s tight, and Cammie is such a great performer. When people really get to see the real thing in front of them, which they don’t a lot of the time, it just works, intrinsically. There’s just a natural response to it. So if we can get in front of the audiences we should, then we’ll win them over and the band will grow. That’s all we want. It's a mechanism for survival at this point.”

Brantley Gilbert Releases "Dirty Money" ft. Justin Moore from Highly Anticipated 'Tattoos'

ith his seventh studio album arriving on September 13 via The Valory Music Co., multi-Platinum country rocker Brantley Gilbert releases the final preview of Tattoos with “Dirty Money” featuring Justin Moore, an industrial-strength anthem and a true blue-collar banger in tribute to the clean conscious that comes from a lifetime of sweat equity. Listen to “Dirty Money” below and pre-save/pre-order Tattoos HERE.
 
Written by Gilbert with Josh Phillips, “Dirty Money” opens the project with a thunderclap of self-sufficient pride and wastes no time bringing the Georgia native’s world into focus, breaking through a peaceful calm with pounding drums, mile-deep distortion and Gilbert’s smoke-and-soul vocal:

Working with primary co-producer Brock Berryhill, Tattoos matches Gilbert’s ink in both striking design and depth of meaning. Through flowing curves and jagged lines, shadow and light look back on a life of blue-collar pride and full-throttle rebellion – along with addictive love, abiding faith and blessings beyond what any of us deserve.
 
The result is an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. But this time, he was careful to put an emphasis on his early days, both in sound and substance. Focusing on real instruments over synthetic effects, molten hot power chords and solos which rip the fabric of space and time pair with thundering drums and Gilbert’s diesel-powered vocal, more dynamic here than it has been in years – and put to use in a variety of big-picture, small-town settings.
 
In celebration of his new album Tattoos, Gilbert will headline Brantley Gilbert’s World’s Largest Album Release Party on Broadway in downtown Nashville on Friday, September 13. The free multi-artist concert is part of FREEDOM FRIDAY events kicking off the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix weekend (September 13-15). Presented by 1st Phorm Energy, with additional partnership from Rousch, Polaris, and Modern Buggy, the 4th annual FREEDOM FRIDAY concert honors members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes. The 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment will perform a helicopter aerial demonstration and a pre-concert flyover by the 101st Airborne Division.
 
“Dirty Money” featuring Justin Moore follows the release of “Me And My House” featuring Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, a hand-over-heart declaration of purpose and a defiant tip of the hat to the independent country rap world Gilbert has always admired, as each collaborator wrote and performed their own verses. Watch the official music video HERE.
 
As lead single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke climbs the charts at country radio after being most added upon its debut, Gilbert’s headlining Off The Rails Tour continues August 30 in Kettering, Ohio, with stops in Duluth, Minn., Council Bluffs, Iowa and Goddard, Kan. through the fall.

About Brantley Gilbert
As one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, set for release September 13, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. An era-defining artist forever bonded to his fans, Gilbert’s been mining the timeless values of hard-working dedication, high-octane thrills and humble faith since his 2009 debut, A Modern Day Prodigal Son, creating a chart-topping grit-and-grace fusion which helped set the stage for today’s genre-blending format. With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. His world-class pen helped create a watershed hit with Jason Aldean’s 4x Platinum country-rap game changer, “Dirt Road Anthem.” And possessing a can’t-fake-it quality of fierce independence, the ACM, CMA and AMA award winner has toured alongside everyone from Willie Nelson and Toby Keith to Kenny Chesney, Nickelback and more. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 cowritten, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. Tracks like full-throttle “Off the Rails” and intoxicating chart-climbing single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke lead a set packed with guest appearances from Gary LeVox, Justin Moore and Off The Rails tour mates Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, as the superstar headlines across the U.S. through October 2024.
