STELLAR CIRCUITS REVEAL NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “ALCHEMY” AHEAD OF FALL US TOUR

October 18, 2023

STELLAR CIRCUITS dropped one of the year’s best progressive metal records earlier this summer, with Sight To Sound. Now the band returns with a music video for the fan-favorite track ‘Alchemy,’ just ahead of their US tour.

Commenting on ‘Alchemy,’ the band states:

“‘Alchemy’ was one of the last songs we finished for this album. It was something that came together fairly quickly and at the end of the process, it just felt like it was right. It ended up becoming a love letter to songwriting and the creative process.”

‘Alchemy’ is the latest in a string of singles from Sight To Sound, following the explosive tracks ‘Pleasure Cruise,’ ‘Witch House’ and ‘Catch Your Death,’ which have further established STELLAR CIRCUITS as one of the most innovative and captivating bands to break out this year.

Fans in the US can witness STELLAR CIRCUITS’ progressive mayhem this Oct/Nov as the band kicks off their month long trek with ARCH ECHO. European fans can follow suit with the band arriving on their shores in February 2024. Tickets for all shows are available now at https://stellarcircuits.com/shows.

About STELLAR CIRCUITS:

Formed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Over the quartet’s lifespan, they’ve managed to fulfill their own prophecy, formulating a core sound that is complex and layered, while providing a listenability that extends well beyond the rock genre. Visceral, intellectual, groovy, technical, and melodious are rarely indicators that can all be used to describe the aural essence of one band. In the case of Stellar Circuits, the rare combination makes a striking and definitive appearance in all they do.

The Winston-Salem, NC foursome followed their 2015 debut EP with their first full-length album in 2018. Ways We Haunt would be recorded with North Carolina’s own Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, He Is Legend), a legend in his own right, bringing his signature touch to Stellar Circuits’ first long form release.

Generating significant attention, especially from the band’s more veteran industry peers, Stellar Circuits would go on to be invited as special guests on Chevelle’s 2021 N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S. tour. Completing a nationwide trek that introduced Stellar Circuits to a significantly broader audience, the foursome immediately saw their fanbase increase exponentially, prompting a shift in their attention to a new record with which they could continue to build on the solid foundation they had since established.

Sight to Sound, Stellar Circuits’ sophomore release, sees the band working once again with Jamie King to convey their growth and expansion on what they do best. Vocalist frontman Ben Beddick highlights the forward momentum, relaying how the band “wanted to push past the point of comfort when writing this music. To make something real and honest that we can all stand by.”

Released in 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records, Sight to Sound expands upon the progressive and groove-centric nature of the band; combining a heaviness, a catchiness, and strength of composition with technical proficiency that results in Stellar Circuits’ most polished release to date. Vocalist Ben Beddick further expands on the writing process and the record’s trajectory, marking a “turning point around the beginning of the writing process that steered us toward a particular conceptual direction. Moving closer to an understanding of the perception of our senses. This record is meant to serve as a sort of invocation. A sense of qualia. The term ‘synesthesia’ comes to mind…”.

Comprised of vocalist Ben Beddick, bassist Jesse Olsen, guitarist Jared Stamey and drummer Tyler Menon, the North Carolina quartet produce an effective and unparalleled coalescence that will undoubtedly excite new listeners while more than satisfying long-term followers. Featuring 11 original tracks that are poised to impress even the most discerning of aficionados, Sight to Sound puts the global music landscape on notice that Stellar Circuits has definitively arrived.

When rules break, rock ‘n’ roll moves forward. Standing at a crossroads between 21st century attitude and old school arena-size ambition, Pistols At Dawn lock and load hard-hitting hooks, magnetic melodies, and intricate instrumentation in a searing signature style. The Atlanta quartet—Adam Jaffe [drums], Will James [lead guitar], Gabriel Cuevas [bass], and Jon Sookdew Sing [lead vocals+rhythm guitar]—re-energize the genre, while maintaining its edge. After independently amassing over 6 million streams and collaborating with icons such as GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and engineer Sylvia Massy [Tool, System of a Down, Johnny Cash], the group deliver eight anthems on their 2022 full-length album, Ascension, via distributor Megaforce Records/MRI Entertainment. “All of our influences come out in the music, but with our own stamp,” says Adam. “There’s definitely a hard rock vibe combined with progressive lyrics. When you add these elements together, it beautifully combusts in Pistols At Dawn.”

Speaking to this alchemy, in 2015 the band immediately entered the studio with producer Jeff Tomei [Smashing Pumpkins, Matchbox 20] to record their first singles before entertaining various other projects. During 2019, the original lineup joined forces again. Ultimately, original founder Jaffe completed the lineup with incendiary world class guitarist James, and elite progressive rock duo Sookdew Sing and Cuevas.

They unleashed music at a prolific pace in addition to personally engaging fans worldwide with an immersive online presence. “Cold” exploded to the tune of 1 million streams across platforms followed by "Gauntlet" and "All You Offer" with another million streams. Working with producer Jeff Tomei, they unleashed the Nocturnal Youth EP in 2021. The opener and lead single “Voices” impressively generated 1 million plays in under a month. In the midst of the Global Pandemic, they caught the attention of Massy and recorded what would become Ascension with the legendary producer behind the board alongside co-producer Chris Pierson.

Musically and thematically, it allowed a sliver of light to pass through the world’s darkness. “On Nocturnal Youth, we were going through a dark time in the Global Pandemic,” Jaffe states. “On Ascension, we’re coming into the light and embracing life. There’s still dark subject matter on the record, but it was positive to write. It melded together the way we’d always hoped.”

Anchored by a balance of extremes, the lead single “The Truth” nods to nineties alternative with a distinct and dynamic twist. Adam goes on, “It revolves around the constant noise we have in our head pushing and pulling our emotions so much that we sometimes lose total control and explode. We have to be careful to maintain our thoughts and emotions, or ‘The Truth’ is that they could tear us apart.”

Elsewhere, the opener and follow-up single “Under The Surface” immediately sets the tone with a hypnotic riff and hard-hitting vocal, barely containing its cathartic momentum in the searing lyrics, “Take what you want and leave me for dead. All that I need is under the surface.”

“This song deals with the hell some have to go through above ground with people constantly taking, lying, and poisoning,” he reveals. “So, you want to be buried deep to get away from society where no one will find you.”

“Fly” leans into a dark chorus and instantly memorable hook, equally soaring and shuddering all at once. It strikes a chord with its timeless theme presented through a nocturnal prism. “It’s a powerful and dark love song about wanting to disappear with your true love,” he elaborates. “Musically, diversity was important to us. So, each song really tells a different story with a distinct sound.”

Indicative of this diversity, “For You” steamrolls forward on a hulking groove fortified by a punchy riff and towering refrain. It sets the tone for the rollercoaster to follow. “It’s about finding someone really special who is worth changing for,” notes Adam. “If you find someone you love enough, you’ll change. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Ultimately, Pistols At Dawn ignite a fresh and fiery vision for rock all their own.
“We want to take you on a ride,” Jaffe leaves off. “We just love playing music. One moment, we hope you’re inspired to take on the world. In the next, we hope you scream along. In another, you just chill. It’s meant to be fun and exciting overall. At the end, we hope you want to take the ride again and again.”

BROOKE EDEN AND JORDAN HARVEY SHINED AT LONDON NFL NATIONAL ANTHEM PERFORMANCES TO KICKOFF SUNDAY’S TENNESSEE TITANS AND BALTIMORE RAVENS GAME

October 17, 2023

This past Sunday, the NFL experienced a sensational showcase of talent on the international stage, as BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville recording artists Brooke Eden and Jordan Harvey delivered stellar performances electrifying NFL fans in London and around the globe.

Eden performed the USA National Anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner”, and Harvey performed the United Kingdom’s National Anthem, “God Save The King.”

About Brooke Eden:

Over the last few years rising star Brooke Eden has become a critically-acclaimed force to be reckoned with in Nashville. Heralded by Billboard as a “fiery country star-in-the-making,” and named one of CMT’s Next Women of Country as well as a MusicRow “Next Big Thing,” Brooke has used her personal journey to self-acceptance to create music that is both bold and passionate with the message that it is okay to be who you are. She has even punctuated this message in the form of a partnership with the RIAA, “Music Matters with RIAA,” a multi-event-driven campaign designed to show how music can enable our authentic voice, give us purpose, and give us strength and courage to navigate life’s challenges.

A dynamic performer, Brooke has shared the stage with Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw, Kane Brown and Keith Urban. Both a CMT Music Awards and 2023 GLAAD Media Awards nominee for “Outstanding Breakthrough Artist,” Brooke has been lauded by American Songwriter, Billboard, Buzzfeed, The Gay Times, MTV News, People, Popsugar, SheKnows, Them, Vogue, Wide Open Country and Young Hollywood while performing on national television shows from NBC’s TODAY to the Academy of Country Music Awards. Applauded for her “commanding stage presence and brassy straight-shooting style” (Nashville Lifestyles), “Brooke Eden is the queer country superstar we need and deserve” (Gay Times Magazine). Her new EP, Outlaw Love, is nothing short of Brooke’s purely authentic, glowing self, that perfectly captures her “fun-loving ’90s-influenced sound…with a compelling message to boot” (American Songwriter).

About Jordan Harvey:

Growing up in rural, blue-collar Scotland, experiencing the Scottish version of the lifestyle represented in most Country songs, Jordan Harvey lived and breathed Country music, dreaming about one day commanding a stage. Taking a leap of faith, believing he could make his dream a reality, Harvey moved across the pond and began immediately cutting his teeth playing the graveyard shift at some of Nashville’s most popular honky tonks. Eventually joining the band King Calaway, he gained invaluable experience opening for icon Garth Brooks and performing on national TV shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Late Show with James Corden, TODAY, The Kelly Clarkson Show and the internationally acclaimed show Neighbours. Knowing it was time to strike out on his own, the Caledonian Cowboy just made his solo debut with the deeply personal, incredibly catchy “Alabama Girl” that sent him viral on TikTok and the infectiously sweet follow-up “I Will.” Next up, The multi-instrumentalist (piano, drums, guitar) channeled his natural charisma and immeasurable stage presence into his 2023 tour dates and his just-released his solo debut EP It Is What It Is.

KEEP UP WITH JORDAN HARVEY

Beartooth Release Fifth Album 'The Surface' + Share "I Was Alive" Video + Announce 2024 World Tour

October 16, 2023

"Heartfelt and exhilarating" — Ones to Watch

"Without question, it's the most anthemic they've ever sounded" — Metal Hammer

"A definitive conclusion to the band's remarkable first era" — Kerrang!

Gold-selling, billion-streaming rock band BEARTOOTH — Caleb Shomo, vocals; Zach Huston, guitars; Will Deely, guitars; Oshie Bichar, bass; and Connor Denis, drums — released their fifth album The Surface on Friday, October 13 via Red Bull Records. Get it here.

Also, watch the video for "I Was Alive," which Shomo says is "about the fact that none of this lasts forever and we get one ride on this crazy journey we're on, so we've got to give it everything we've got,".

Like its predecessors, The Surface is an intensely personal and powerful journey for Shomo, who has never shied away from sharing his demons in his music and with his fans. However, the frontman has turned a corner with a more optimistic outlook and demonstrates exceptional growth as both an artist and a human being through the songs that comprise the album.

"This album is the end of the story of a very important decade of my life and that was my 20s," the frontman shares. "It's been very up and down, sometimes more down than up. But as of right now, I have decided that since life is short, I want to focus on the positives. Sometimes all you need is some hard work to show you what you need to do with your life to be happy. Hopefully this album can inspire people to take control of their own lives in any way they desire."

The album has been one of the most successful of the band's already impressive career, with the four pre-release tracks accumulating 65 million total streams and ascending the radio charts. "Might Love Myself" continues to climb and is currently at #8 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock National Airplay and #6 on the Top 40 Active Rock charts.

Additionally, Beartooth have announced an extensive North American headline tour to precede their EU/UK dates next fall. They'll hit the road with The Plot In You, Invent Animate, and Sleep Theory from January to March, bringing the new record to over 40 cities across North America. Global dates are below. Get tickets here, with the North American pre-sale kicking off today and general sale on Friday, October 20.

"I cannot wait to get back on tour and play a bunch of new songs for a bunch of amazing fans. We get to take out three awesome bands doing great things for the scene. We're gonna play loud, hot, and fast, and serve up all the new stuff like you've never seen before," says Shomo.

The band will also appear at the 2024 edition of ShipRocked.

ABOUT BEARTOOTH:
Caleb Shomo first turned the pain of his struggle with mental health and self-image into music in 2013. Beartooth began as a living document, a diary, a journal of repressed rage and depression. Alone in his basement studio, screaming and singing, playing all the instruments, and self-producing a batch of furious but melodic songs filled with reflection and confession, the Ohio native stared into the abyss, initially with no intention of returning to the heavy music world that burned him as a teen. A decade later, the different pieces of his body of work connect in title, sound, and spirit. As the frontman hits 30, Beartooth’s fifth album, he Surface, completes this era in 2023. Even more importantly, it kicks off a new chapter filled with surprising optimism and just as honest. Depression is a sick, disgusting, aggressive disease below the surface. Shomo stands ready to bask in the light.

Like Nine Inch Nails, Beartooth remains a one-person band in the studio. On the heels of the introductory Sick EP (2013), Disgusting (2014) produced the band's first Gold single, "In Between." Aggressive (2016) and Disease (2018) expanded on the desperation and pain, each a step closer to a balance between the blood and tears of classic recordings and the shimmer of modernity.

Rolling Stone heralded Beartooth as one of 10 Artists You Need to Know. The rabid response to Shomo's music demonstrated how many people related to his struggle for self-acceptance. Below (2021) topped the Rock and Alternative charts and several Best Rock/Metal Albums of the Year lists. As of 2023, the Beartooth catalog boasts more than 1 billion streams across all platforms.

Beartooth began as both bomb and balm, an outright refusal to suffer in silence, weaponizing radio-ready bombast, delivering raw emotion mixed with noise-rock chaos. Other bands play the "devastating riffs and catchy hooks" game, but this music is the difference between life and death, and now, a sort of life after death while still here. The band Forbes sees "inching towards a tipping point of becoming the latest arena headliner" is now one step closer

A ferociously tight live band, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have toured Europe and the UK extensively, supporting Skunk Anansie, HED p.e, INME and Black Map as well as festival slots at Download, Standon Calling and Planet Rockstock. BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have sealed the bands reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

Having released their debut album ‘Archetype’ (2016) to universal acclaim, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE signed with German label Long Branch Records to release the follow up albums ‘Yugen’ (2018) and ‘Semaphore’ (2020). Both albums received stellar reviews and over 3,000,000+ combined streams.

“Tempus Veritas” is a collection of stories that seeks to find compelling imaginary narratives hidden away in what we all think of as history. Behind every milestone or major event in humanity’s long, complex past lies a treasure trove of possibilities for invention - how did Pope Urban VIII feel when confronted by his friend Galileo about the true nature of the sun? What really happened during an almost triumphant but ultimately doomed Everest attempt? What was it like to be a Norse settler amongst the Saxons; did the omens of the ancient gods begin to disappear?

In approaching “Tempus Veritas”, BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE sought collectively to push themselves both musically and thematically. Their pursuit of heaviness, melody, emotional power and rhythmic complexity has pushed them to create something they‘re immensely proud of. “Semaphore” was an album of Sci-Fi, this is an album of Hi-Fi. Tempus Veritas.

VRSTY Drop "Glad You Came" Video — WATCH

October 16, 2023

BAND ON TOUR WITH MONUMENTS THROUGH OCTOBER

Genre-blending and bending New York City-based collective VRSTY (pronounced "Varsity") — Joey Varela [vocals], Javy Dorrejo [bass], Chris Cody [drums], and Paul Gregory [guitar] — are gearing up for the release of their new album Levitate. It arrives on October 27 via Spinefarm. Pre-order it here.

The band has just dropped the video for the latest single "Glad You Came." Watch it below.

"'Glad You Came' is about doing what you want and not caring what anybody has to say in the matter," the band says. "'Live your life to the fullest' — that's the safe version."

VRSTY ON TOUR:
WITH MONUMENTS + FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS:
10/14 — Manchester, NH — Angel City Music Hall
10/15 — Brooklyn, NY — Meadows

ABOUT VRSTY:
VRSTY (pronounced "Varsity") make music as energetic and richly diverse as the city that spawned them. Assembled by band leader Joey Tyler, a Puerto Rican singer from New York City raised on R&B, pop, and Spanish music and equally inspired by metallic post-hardcore, VRSTY blends genres with fearless ambition and visceral enthusiasm. A handful of EPs preceded 2020's debut album, Welcome Home, itself followed by a three-part series of sequel EPs solidifying the band's reputation.

The band (comprised of guitarist Paul Gregory, bassist Javier Dorrejo, drummer Chris Cody, and Tyler) specializes in what Kerrang! described as "endless grooves and danceable parts, punctuated by breakdowns and completed with dark atmosphere." Meanwhile, "Massive,”"from 2020's Cloud City EP, remained the Most Played on SiriusXM's Octane for two consecutive weeks. In a 9/10 review, Outburn described Welcome Home as "effortless, fun, and above all genuine." Blabbermouth raved: "While other bands may have introduced the concept of genre-bending, VRSTY have refined it."

Genuine authenticity and uncompromising passion are crucial to everything about VRSTY. Levitate, the band's stunning sophomore set, is powered by spirited conviction and a commitment to follow their muse wherever it leads. It's an album of rich melodic hooks and headbang-inducing grooves.

Tyler co-produced Levitate with Justin Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White, Lorna Shore, Fit For A King). George Lever (Sleep Token, Holding Absence, Loathe) handled mixing duties.

VRSTY commands the crowd anytime they perform, connecting with anyone who struggles with feelings of low self-worth, bad relationships, or generally feels like an outsider. It’s a feeling of shared community evident on the band's tours with the likes of 10 Years, Nonpoint, Secrets, and For The Fallen Dreams, among others. Ultimately, VRSTY aims to encourage, provoke, and inspire listeners.

L.S. Dunes Announce "Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes" Early Raw Versions Of Debut Album // Band Touring With Pierce The Veil In The Fall

October 15, 2023

Last year, L.S. Dunes — vocalist Anthony Green, guitarist Frank Iero, bassist Tim Payne, guitarist Travis Stever, and drummer Tucker Rule — released their debut album, Past Lives, a boundary pushing synthesis of post-hardcore and punk that became one of 2022's most acclaimed hard rock albums.

To celebrate Past Lives' first anniversary, L.S. Dunes will release Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes on November 10, 2023 via Fantasy Records.

Raw and radically revealing, Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes features early, stripped-down versions of all Past Lives' 11 tracks. Listening to these songs in their hyper-intense, original form provides a new, completely fresh view into Past Lives, while the uninitiated will appreciate it for what it is, a sterling artistic statement in its own right. Pre-order Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes HERE. Fans can also pre-order the Past Lives Deluxe Edition, a limited, 2-LP vinyl special package which includes both the original album and Lost Songs: Lines And Shapes, exclusively via the band's online store HERE.

Today, L.S. Dunes also shared the new album's first single, "Permanent Rebellion" (Demo). Green's beautifully understated vocal reshapes track almost entirely, transforming it into something darker, but equally thrilling.

Listen HERE and watch the visualizer for "Permanent Rebellion"

"Lines and Shapes, the newest L.S. Dunes release, is the best way we know how to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our band's debut full-length, Past Lives," says Iero. "This is the blueprint to how the album came to be. The spark of each song as we started this journey to each triumphant end. Lines and Shapes will take the listener down the same path we traveled as a band. Listen in on how we created together from afar. Sending digital breadcrumbs back and forth, building foundations for what was to come in the cloud, and then finally to those structures built in their definitive form. Lines and Shapesnot only celebrates the anniversary of Past Lives, but also the craft of songwriting and the many dynamics of what it means to be in a band. It is something I wish I was able to experience for every record I ever loved and wondered how it came to be."

Lost Songs: Lines and Shapes was produced by L.S. Dunes and recorded separately across various bedrooms and garages during the pandemic. The arrangements, musical flourishes, and vocals have a looser feel and often contrast wildly from its successor, giving many of these tracks a different outlook and meaning altogether. Three of the tracks are pure instrumentals including the psyche-rock workout "Blender," the grandiose and explosive "Bombsquad," and the dramatic, prog-rocker "Grifter." Similarly, the initial construction of "Grey Veins," "2022," "Past Lives," and "Antibodies," highlight the band's ultra-musicianship as the unvarnished sonics jump out and grab the listener by the throat.

Fresh from their recent return to Chicago's RIOT FEST in mid-September and a summer headline tour that featured sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles, L.S. Dunes will join Pierce The Veil on the 18-date Jaws of Life Tour, November 4 through December 8. Full itinerary below.

JOHN LODGE, LEGENDARY BASS PLAYER SONGWRITER AND VOCALIST OF THE MOODY BLUES ANNOUNCES FEBRUARY AND MARCH 2024 US TOUR DATES

October 14, 2023

The Moody Blues’ John Lodge Performs “Days of Future Passed”
Playing the iconic album in its entirely
Plus a selection of CLASSIC HITS

John Lodge
Vocalist, Songwriter and Bass Player in the Moody Blues

John Lodge, legendary bass player, songwriter and vocalist of The Moody Blues, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, will be back on tour in February and March 2024 in the USA! Following the critically acclaimed sold out shows this year, John is continuing in his celebration of ‘The Moody Blues’ music, and the iconic album ‘Days of Future Passed.'

‘Performs Days of Future Passed’ encompasses a first set of electric Moodies classics featuring all the fan favourites such as ‘Isn’t Life Strange’, ‘Legend of a Mind’, ‘I’m Just a Singer (in a Rock and Roll Band)’, ‘Ride my See-Saw’, and so much more. The second set will see John and his band perform the groundbreaking album ‘Days of Future Passed’ in its entirety and in full symphonic sound. There are exciting changes from the original show, with new classic songs and deep cuts, enhanced video and dazzling lighting, all coming together to make a very special evening of great music and Moodies memories…. Come take a journey back in time with John and his 10,000 Light Years Band as they create audio alchemy for your listening and visual pleasure!

As Beneath a Desert Sky said, 'a must see show if you love classic progressive rock music or The Moody Blues music.'

Tickets go on sale from Friday 13th October, with VIP packages also available including a personal Video Message from John, autographed poster, tote, laminate and exclusive merch item! All ticket links at www.johnlodge.com/tour.

The show also features a special video and recording by the late, and missed, Graeme Edge of his poems ‘Morning Glory’ and ‘Late Lament’. Graeme wrote these poems for the album, but they were originally spoken by Mike Pinder. John asked Graeme to record them so that he could always be on stage with him. Jon Davison of YES also joins John to perform the classic songs, “Nights in White Satin” and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’. Jon is John’s son-in-law and great friend, having originally met back in 2019 on the ‘Royal Affair’ Summer Tour with YES, Asia, John and Carl Palmer.

“The show came about following conversations with Graeme, Alan (Hewitt) and Jon (Davison)… This album and these Moody Blues songs changed our lives, they may even have changed the fans lives, and I felt they deserved to still be heard and experienced live as they were originally intended. My hope is that coming to one of my shows, you can close your eyes and we can all take a moment to turn back the clock as we celebrate this music together. Alan, Jon, and my band have done an incredible job in realizing my vision. It was always important to me to remain true to the original whilst at the same time use modern sound and all the wonderful new technology to reveal the richness of these songs. The tour, as with the album, is dedicated to Graeme, Justin, Ray and Mike, and to every fan, whether they joined back in 1967, or on any day since”

‘Days of Future Passed’ was released 56 years ago, and was arguably the start of progressive rock. These songs began the long standing cross-over between rock and classical music, and the Moody Blues shows were always known for recreating this incredible sound, and for the wonderful atmosphere. John has surrounded himself with a band that are equally passionate, who put simply, love performing together, and who appreciate and respect the legacy of the music.

The electrifying show will also be in support of John’s album ‘Days of Future Passed – My Sojourn’, available now on CD and all streaming services, with a limited edition 180g Red Gold vinyl album available from Nov 24th:
https://slinky.to/DaysOfFuturePassed

Dino Ciliberti recently reviewed one of John’s shows and said “to hear this one more time just shows the magic of music and an album that will always stand the test of time”, and Gary Graff, “a loving and precise recreation”. Come and be taken back to the live Moody Blues shows of the past, with songs you love, featuring John Lodge, and tributes to all his bandmates.

Joining John on stage is his ‘10,000 Light Years Band’, long term collaborator Alan Hewitt (Music Director and Keyboards) and Billy Ashbaugh (Drums) from the Moody Blues touring band, together with Duffy King (Guitars) and Jason Charboneau (Cello). Jon Davison of YES will also be joining him for his special renditions of ‘Nights in White Satin’ and ‘Tuesday Afternoon’, plus the magical voice of Graeme Edge. “Every time we hit the stage, I appreciate just how great this music is. I love to watch how much the John Lodge/ Moody Blues fans go on a musical journey with us during our shows." Alan Hewitt, Oct 2023.

‘If you love The Moody Blues music, then you really need to checkout John live. He and the band put on a great show!’

John Lodge is bass guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter for the iconic Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame 2018 inductees, The Moody Blues. Songwriter of such mega Moody Blues hits from “Ride My See-Saw,” to “I’m Just A Singer (In A Rock and Roll Band),” “Isn’t Life Strange” and many more. Lodge has been performing and recording with The Moody Blues for more than five decades, selling in excess of 70 million albums, as well as releasing his three solo albums ‘Natural Avenue’, ’10,000 Light Years Ago’ and ‘B Yond’. Lodge has been voted one of the “10 most influential bass players on the planet,” and has been the recipient of many awards, including ASCAP (American Society of Composers and Publishers), an Ivor Novello Award, a Lifetime Achievement Award from Prog Magazine, to name just a few.

DON BROCO Drop "Birthday Party (Party in the U.S.A Remix)" Feat. Their North American Tourmates

October 14, 2023

REMIX FEATURES GUEST VOCALS FROM CURRENT NORTH AMERICAN TOURMATES THE HOME TEAM, RYAN OAKES, SKYLER ACORD, AND THE COLOR 8

Are you ready to party with DON BROCO? Hell yes, you are. Only DON BROCO could craft a song about no one bothering to show up at a bday fete sound like a smashing good time, which is exactly what they did with their new hit single "Birthday Party."

With cheeky lyrics that bemoan the concept of another trip around the sun and throwing a little soiree where no one even bothers to show up, the accompanying sonics shimmer and shine with synths, cadenced and perfectly processed vocals, and a good time vibe. Who cares if everyone blows off your party when you can shake your booty to this neo-nu-wave-influenced, funkdafied "Birthday Party?" The song is skittery, genre-bending electro-blast of crunching beats and distorted guitars and it's topped off with vocalist Rob Damiani's ennui-drenched vocals.

But now, the band has taken an already bangin' track and upped the ante tenfold by inviting their current North American tourmates The Home Team, Ryan Oakes, Skyler Acord, and The Color 8 to contribute vocals on a killer remix of the song.

This party just evolved into a full-on rager!

Stream "Birthday Party (Party in the U.S.A. Remix)" here.

Damiani previously said this about the song: "Birthdays can be the absolute worst. You get all hyped up for what you think is a guaranteed top day, but when that doesn't work out you can't help but feel EXTRA bad. I don't really like birthdays because of this, but one year tried throwing a last min shindig and in classic form it was not well attended, haha. I can't say I took it well but my only option was having a party for one and this song is the story of that night."

Don Broco are currently on tour in North America. All dates are below, with several dates having sold out in advance.

LYLVC Premiere "Crawl Space" Video at New Noise + Touring This Fall

October 13, 2023

CLEAN VOCALIST ALYSE ZAVALA TALKS DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS!

Opening with the words "Smile fake beaten, I can't evolve," LYLVC have delivered the ultimate hard-hitting, emotional track with "Crawl Space." Now being streamed exclusively by New Noise Magazine, head over to hear the full single, grab new LYLVC tour dates, and hear about how clean vocalist, Alyse Zavala, killed it as a contestant on FOX's Don't Forget The Lyrics!

Watch the "Crawl Space" video below.

Reflecting on creating "Crawl Space," Zavala offered the following on its origin story: "Unfortunately some people in this world are treated as less than human, or treated as if their death doesn't matter compared to other people. Some people are bullied or abused, kicked when they are down, and have just had an extremely rough experience with life and opportunities in general. It's not uncommon for many of these people leaving those abusive situations to end up in other abusive situations that have different scenery, but still bad for them. I have had times in my life, especially during my childhood, when I was treated pretty inhumanely. As I went from a bad situation or 'prison' to another bad situation/prison, I struggled with wondering if my death would even matter to anyone. 'How can I survive in a world that doesn't care if I'm alive?' I was able to overcome my personal traumas and somehow landed an extremely successful career, but I still struggle sometimes with feeling paralyzed if my life really matters to anyone or if I'm still the lost little girl stuck in a crawl space."

Zavala continues, "LYLVC wrote this song with Tyler Connolly of the band Theory of a Deadman. It was amazing working with him and Mike Plotnikoff and feeling like they were open-minded to us writing this story without judgment. We wanted this song to be extremely vivid and gut-wrenching, without feeling censored, and Mike and Tyler empowered us to use words with powerful imagery without making us edit the language down. It's powerful, it's catchy, and it's real."

See this and LYLVC’s recently released tracks including, "Into Nothing," "Perfect Drug," and "Undertow" on the road, as the sextet embarks on a fall tour around the U.S. with other modern rock favorites Pop Evil and Fame on Fire. Tour dates are below.

A lyricist and performer to the fullest, Alyse was recently voted to be a contestant on FOX's Don’t Forget The Lyrics!; the show that requires participants to sing along to tracks and fill in the missing lyrics when the music cuts out. Hosted by the beloved Niecy Nash, Alyse walked away from the show with $25,000 of winnings and one hell of a story to tell.

Thinking back on her FOX debut, Alyse asserts, "I wasn't really nervous, but I also didn't have any time to study at all. I had to fly to film this episode right before our tour with Atreyu earlier this year, so I mostly just hoped to get songs that I would actually know. I was worried that I would open a category with two songs I have never heard of before, and what can you really do when that happens? I told myself that I would just accept my fate and focus on having fun no matter what the song choices were. Niecy Nash was super supportive and funny, and cracked a lot of computer hacker jokes with me off-camera about my day job. I had a blast and everyone off the set was so much fun and kept commenting on my lilac hair and asking about our band, LYLVC. The film crew actually had a technical glitch while they were filming me, and they had to reboot the computer. I swore that it wasn't me... lol."

Catch this emotive hacker and the rest of LYLVC at a venue nearest you! Their performances kick off on October 28 in Arkansas and prove to be as alive and creative as their music videos, mimicking their real lives and big-time personalities. This is an alt-rock band that truly comes alive on stage, giving their all in every city, every state.

Toronto-NYC power trio ON unveils Florida-inspired 'Gator' video, shot by Steve Fall and iconic NYC producer Martin Bisi

October 12, 2023

"A cool album. A smart album. A deftly crafted album. A rock album? Yes…but much more. So much more" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"A clever blend of pop melody with raw rock abrasiveness in quite a potent sonic sucker punch. Their very tight weave of classic and alt rock coated grunge works fabulously" ~ The Spill Magazine

"Its DNA intwértwined with sounds once pounded out by the likes of the Pumpkins, Hole and L7... one of the most exciting outfits to emerge post-pandemic" ~ Global Texan Chronicles

Toronto-NYC indie rock power trio ON has unveiled the video for their latest single 'Gator'. This infectious 6/8 groove is a hook-laden rock waltz, released via Toronto imprint Indiestructable Records.

ON is a power trio led by Lucy Di Santo (vocals, bass) with Dan Cornelius on drums and Steve Fall on guitars. Their latest music output sees the trio carry on the legacy of the band from which they were formed - 90's Sire Records band Acid Test. its members have also been in other popular Toronto bands Danko Jonesand Deliuss.

Filmed by legendary producer Martin Bisi at BC Studio Brooklyn and Steve Fall in Toronto and Naples, Florida, this video was edited by Michael Gucciardi. Frontwoman Lucy Di Santo invites, "Come on down - live in our oh-so safe Gated Community - you'll live stronger for longer", adding "Who is really living free here? I think it's the gators in the pond."

In the video, Di Santo plays a shady real estate agent, doing her sleazy best to sell the viewer on the idea of buying into a gated community, where you can feel safe. Meanwhile, behind pink homes and walls, alligators roam freely sunning themselves at will on gated golf greens. So who is really free?

The band has recently been recording their next album at BC Studio in Brooklyn, working with Martin Bisi, famed for his groundbreaking work with Sonic Youth, Swans, Brian Eno, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock, Iggy Pop, Helmet, Africa Bambaataa, Dresden Dolls, Unsane, Cop Shoot Cop and many other notable artists.

Dishing out infectious guitar riffs with a dash of groove, their adrenaline-laden music is a invigorating, the band paying homage to their post-punk, grunge, old-school funk and 90s college rock roots. 'Gator' follows up the band's latest single 'Make Me', a song of frustration and wanting to recapture that euphoria.

“We had a cool riff and Lucy had a great melody but we didn't have an intro to the song. We were working this up demoing it in Drew's 'Starsound Studios' in Cape Coral , Fla. Lucy took a break, went into the truck we rented and hummed a melody. I copied it on my guitar through my cheap Blackstar practice amp w/the delay feature and we put it down as a track. The vibe just worked so we kept that original track in the main verse and as a hook throughout the song. And that original track stayed even as we added more layers and mixed," says Steve Fall.

Dan Cornelius adds, “The song has a strong guitar hook and melody - and the drums are tailored to support and enhance those elements. So I thought the drums should be a drum pattern that anyone could tap along to ON their steering wheel while waiting for traffic. Simple drum groove. Simple drum fills.”

ON recently completed an extensive US tour in support of their critically-acclaimed 'ON' album, co-produced by Darius Szczepaniak (Sum 41, Black Crowes, Big Sugar, Bare Naked Ladies, Jann Arden) at Phase One Studios in Toronto. The album received extensive press and radio attention, not to mention charting in the Radio Indie Alliance charts consecutively for nearly a year.

'Gator' is out now and available from fine music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The band will be playing select New York and Ontario tour dates throughout October.

Enterprise Earth Announce New Forthcoming Album 'Death: An Anthology' out February 2 (via MNRK Heavy) + Unleash New Single + Music Video "King of Ruination"

October 11, 2023

Enterprise Earth fans, rejoice! The band has made their triumphant return with the announcement of their forthcoming new album, 'Death: An Anthology', stacked with features from some of deathcore's finest including but not limited to, Matt Heafy (Trivium), Darius Tehrani (Spite), and Wes Hauch (Alluvial). The upcoming full-length will be released on Friday, February 2 (via MNRK Heavy). In celebration of the news, the band has unleashed their apocalyptic new single "King of Ruination" featuring Ben Duerr from Shadow of Intent (which premiered on SiriusXM's Liquid Metal) along with the hauntingly brutal official music video directed by Nick Chance. Speaking on today's news, the band shared:

"'King of Ruination' ushers in the new era of Enterprise Earth, a violent and punishing force of groove-centric metal. This is merely a glimpse of what we have in store for you all on 'Death: An Anthology', thank you for listening."

Vocalist Travis Worland also commented:

"Coming from a heinously religious upbringing and background, death has been at the forefront of my mind since childhood. Going to Hell, going to Heaven, going nowhere at all, being stuck between two polar opposite eternities. So, I wrote about it. From all manner of perspectives. The death of self, the death of someone or something important to you, the death of a relationship, the death of individuality, fantastical stories of what awaits us when we die. Death takes many forms and can be spoken of in so many different lights. This is my story of death and dying. This is 'Death: An Anthology'."

'Death: An Anthology' will also be available in "Black Ice" and "Inferno" vinyl formats exclusive to the band (available here), as well as "Ghostly" and "Copper Nugget" vinyl formats through the MNRK Heavy Shop at the link here. Pre-order 'Death: An Anthology' here, stream "King of Ruination" (ft. Ben Duerr) here, and watch the official music video below.

TIM MONTANA'S AMERICAN THREAD BENEFIT CONCERT AND CLAYS SHOOT RAISES OVER $334K FOR U.S. MILITARY SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES AND FAMILIES

October 10, 2023

To Date, Montana's 'American Thread' Events Have
Raised Over 1.1 Million Dollars

Music Knox Records/BBR Music Group recording artist Tim Montana's inaugural American Thread benefit concert, held October 2 at Nashville's City Winery, can be stamped as 'Mission Accomplished.' The SOLD OUT special concert event (and the following day's clays shoot), benefiting Special Ops Xcursions, a nonprofit that supports U.S. special operations forces and their families, raised over $334,000 for men and women in uniform. Special surprise guest performers were Colbie Caillat, Collective Soul, Darryl Worley, Elvie Shane, Michael Ray and Tyler Farr.

The event also featured guest speaker Sgt. Omar "Crispy" Avila, a war hero and U.S. Army vet. Action sports legend Travis Pastrana and his sidekick, Street Bike Tommy(both of Nitro Circus fame), were also in attendance.

For the past three years, Montana has headed up the American Thread Sporting Clays Shoot in Nashville, drawing celebs who lent their time to help our nation's military heroes. This year, Montana continued that tradition with the fourth annual Tim Montana & Friends American Thread Sporting Clays Shoot, held the day following the concert at the Nashville Gun Club. After this week's events – four years since the clays shoot's inception – Montana has officially raised over 1.1 million dollars for Special Ops Xcursions.

"This year’s event was our biggest yet," says Montana. "From the artists that volunteered their time and talents, to the sponsors that made this possible, I’m so incredibly proud of what we’re doing for the veteran and active duty military community. Thank you Trevor Pardue, Scott Graves and all of our board members for your tireless work. Breaking a million dollars in just four years is no easy feat and we’re just getting started."

Montana plans to continue his American Thread events for years to come.

About Tim Montana
For as much as Tim Montana may be known as a wild man (and he certainly is), he really asserts himself as a tried-and-true storyteller. His story has twisted and turned with the unforgiving unpredictability of a Montana winter. He went from a rough youth spent off-the-grid in a trailer powered by a faulty generator to captivating a devout global fanbase, dropping successful independent albums, selling out shows, and earning the endorsement of childhood heroes such as Dave Grohl. At 21-years-old, Tim settled in Music City. He busted his ass and found a way to be heard. He caught the attention of David Letterman who personally booked Montana on The Late Show with David Letterman. Unlocking a creative chemistry with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, their collaborations included “This Beard Came Here to Party,” which served as the anthem for the 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox and the Nashville Predators during the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoffs. He co-wrote radio hits for Kid Rock such as “Tennessee Mountain Top” and “Greatest Show On Earth” for 2017’s Sweet Southern Sugar—which bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard200. harlie Sheen espoused his admiration for Tim on social media and wound up directing he music video for “Mostly Stoned.” Following 2021’s Long Shots, Tim he let his grunge flag fly, while still telling the kind of stories fans fell in love with in the first place. Now, he infuses Space Needle-shaking grunge grit with a different kind of frontier poetry, bringing together vivid lyricism, vulnerable melodies, and vicious distortion. He's formally introducing himself on a series of 2023 singles for Music Knox Records/BBR Music Group/BMG, beginning with “Devil You Know,” currently Top 20 at Active Rock radio.

Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, “Cab in a Solo” offers the first taste of new music from McCreery since the release of his 2021 album Same Truck. Stream “Cab in a Solo” HERE.

Upon its release, Taste of Country declared “McCreery’s country roots shine.” With a hint of neotraditional country and dash of 90’s country nostalgia, the heartbreak track finds the happily married father in unfamiliar territory – lamenting a failed relationship.

“Cab in a Solo” follows the recent success of “It Matters to Her” the fastest climbing single of McCreery’s career. The singer/songwriter has earned five consecutive No. 1 hits in the last few years including RIAA Platinum-certified No. 1 “Damn Strait” and RIAA Gold-certified No. 1 “You Time,” all found on Same Truck: The Deluxe Album.

Earlier this summer McCreery joined the Brooks & Dunn REBOOT Tour 2023. He is currently out on the road for his own headlining tour with 25+ dates through the fall.

McCreery is among six inductees in the 2023 class scheduled to be enshrined in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony this fall. The induction ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at the Mooresville Performing Arts Center in Mooresville, N.C. VIP and General Reserved tickets are available HERE.

END Share "Thaw" Video — WATCH

October 10, 2023

END — guitarist Will Putney, vocalist Brendan Murphy, guitarist Gregory Thomas, bassist Jay Pepito, and drummer Matt Guglielmo — will release their second album The Sin of Human Frailty on October 27 via Closed Casket Activities. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band has shared the video for "Thaw," featuring Heriot's Debbie Gough.

Watch the video, full of frenetic visuals, below.

"'Thaw' is a thematically more bizarre exploration into electronics for END," the band shares. "It's a very boundary-less song and one of the more self-fulfilling moments found in the writing process. As a musician, it's important to express the purest intent of your thoughts, and sometimes that requires reaching beyond the normal instrumentation one is accustomed to. The result is something new for us, but also a part of us. Thank you to Debbie Gough of Heriot for lending her voice to the track. And thank you for giving this new creative passage a listen."

END initially materialized during 2017. The group's From the Unforgiving Arms of God EP spawned the fan favorite "Necessary Death," and lead to a signing with label Closed Casket Activities.

Highlighted by "Covet Not" and "Absence," the band bulldozed the senses with their 2020 full-length debut, Splinters From an Ever-Changing Face. Brooklyn Vegan hailed "Pariah" as "an absolutely filthy dose of modern metalcore," and Kerrang! went as far as to describe their debut LP as "catharsis fed through a distortion pedal and shaped into a dense, destructive wrecking ball." Perhaps, Invisible Oranges put it best" "These gentlemen have come together to summon a fury seldom heard on any album from the realms of hardcore, grind, and black metal…"

In 2023, the members congregated once again to write and recorded what would become this sophomore release. "Part of the goal was to do things our way," states Putney. "We didn't want to lean on our influences too heavily, whether it's in terms of production, guitar tone, arrangement, or other elements. We were like, 'Let's just make a record that sounds like END.' I feel like there's more of an identity to the band than there has ever been on this record." The final result is a unique blend of HM2 driven Grind and Metallic Hardcore cross over with moments of Industrial chaos over ten tracks. Featuring guest vocal appearances by J.R. Hayes (Pig Destroyer), Debbie Gough (Heriot), and Dylan Walker (Full of Hell), this Graphic Nature Audio recording clocks in over 30 minutes of unhinged aggression and grind. Produced and engineered by Will Putney and featuring the art of Alex Eckman-Lawn, this release pushes the complexity of END both sonically and visually. Vinyl comes packaged in a ten panel die-cut jacket, pressed on deluxe colored vinyl and with a digital download code.
