*Festival

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 SlipknotKornTurnstileGojiraCoheed and CambriaWhite ReaperSlashTriviumDream 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.

M.A.G.S. Releases New Album "CREATOR"

Smartpunk Records' indie rock prodigy M.A.G.S. has released his new album CREATOR via Smartpunk Records. It is an accompaniment and reimagination to last year's fan-favorite album Destroyer

Each song from Destroyer has been reconstructed and bent into new forms to create a new tracklist on CREATOR that is an exploratory showcase of M.A.G.S.'s imaginative, diverse capabilities as a multi-instrumentalist.

When discussing the album, Elliott Douglas (the man behind the moniker) says, "With CREATOR, I wanted to subvert the expectations of my listeners and bend my genre to a nearly unrecognizable extent. There was a moment a few years ago in the music industry where it was sort of this novel trend to be a black person in rock music, like it was some completely new concept that black people could play guitar and be in bands that sound like Paramore or The Strokes. I’ve been on my own wave for the majority of my career and CREATOR is the perfect example of what happens when I choose to create what feels right to me and not what is expected. With the help of 2 of my most talented friends, we reimagined my previous album ‘Destroyer’ over the course of 9 days in an apartment in Chicago in late 2023. Constructed entirely from my acoustic demos, we experimented and collaborated our way into a sound that goes far beyond what I ever thought M.A.G.S. was capable of."

CREATOR was conceived and mixed by Elliott and was produced in collaboration with Jeremy Strange and Ehmed Nauman of Chicago's This House Is Creaking.

M.A.G.S. also announced October tour dates. Those are posted below.

M.A.G.S.:

ABOUT M.A.G.S.
M.A.G.S. is the solo moniker for Buffalo-bred multi-disciplinary artist Elliott Douglas. His style seamlessly glides between genres ─ from funky garage rock to minty alt-pop with a punk-inspired energy. The release of his third full-length album Destroyer in 2023 via Smartpunk Records pushed Douglas into a more textural direction, dripping with flavors of post-punk while keeping his genre-bending melodies. Written by Douglas and produced by Jay Mass (Defeater), the album is about having to destroy yourself in order to grow and move forward — an extremely relatable phase in one's life.

M.A.G.S. released his first solo record in 2015, an EP titled Cellophane, and his self-titled LP arrived two years later — securing a seat amongst the most prominent indie/alt-rock artists. With his new batch of music, Douglas displayed marked growth in vocal prowess, overall musicality and lyrical bite through the release of 2020's Lost Tapes EP. Dougals' universal appeal feeds his success, and it's never at the expense of his art. Elsewhere in his blossoming catalog, songs like "MVP" and "Hi Tops" zig-zag from visceral, gnarly heavy metal to lo-fi folk-rock, respectively; his musicianship is a marvel to witness, each entry building on the last with refreshing acrobatics.

ABOUT SMARTPUNK RECORDS:
Smartpunk has been a recognizable name in the scene for a long time (Remember that sponsored Warped Tour stage?!). After exchanging several hands and countless ideas of what it could and should be, they decided to start a record label in 2016 with the main idea of focusing solely on reissuing records that have been out of print or never on vinyl. After all, they're a label of vinyl dorks themselves! After releasing Set Your Goals' Mutiny and Gameface's Good, they started to venture into signing newer bands. They actively balance in between many worlds — putting out amazing music from friends and bands that rock, reissuing older titles, and partnering with other incredible labels in our scene and doing exclusive color variants of their releases.

Since forming the record label, Smartpunk Records has released timeless albums such as Less Than Jake's Anthem, Nominee's Lowlife, RIVALS' Sad Looks Pretty on Me, Virginity's POPMORTEM, and melodic skate punkers The Swellers' My Everest.

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.

OUT NOW: Within The Ruins' 'Phenomena II'

Progressive deathcore giants WITHIN THE RUINS are pleased to unleash their new video for “Demon Killer.” The ferocious new hymn comes off of the band’s Phenomena II full-length, out today on MNRK Heavy!

Phenomena II serves as the sequel to the WITHIN THE RUINS ’ critically lauded Phenomena full-length, which was released a decade ago and has reaped over 18 million streams to date! “We had written a handful of songs, and we were searching for inspiration,” recalls guitarist Joe Cocchi. “We wanted to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Phenomena, because it was a pinnacle point of our career. I wrote a demo that reminded [vocalist] Steve [Tinnon] of Phenomena. So, it was his idea to create Phenomena II. The styles really aligned in terms of the unique guitar effects and the themes where each track tells a story from a comic book character’s point-of-view.”

With “Demon Killer,” the band tempers technicality with moral ambiguity within its depiction of [DC Comics antihero] Constantine. “It checked all of the boxes by utilizing this glitchy effect we started using on Phenomena,” Cocchi elaborates. “‘Demon Killer’ is Constantine. He was born into a world that never appreciated him. Steve is breaking down his character by talking about his internal conflicts and how he’s fighting evil with evil.”

“We absolutely love how this video turned out,” adds Tinnon. “The imagery and effects do incredible justice to the character of John Constantine, and really encapsulate his struggle between the forces of good and evil.” 

WITHIN THE RUINS recently confirmed five Southwest headlining shows this October with support from Gore. See all confirmed dates below and stay tuned for additional shows to be announced in the weeks to come.

LAINEY WILSON’S HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM WHIRLWIND OUT TO WIDESPREAD ACCLAIM

“THE BEST RELEASE OF HER CAREER”
THE TENNESSEAN

“LAINEY WILSON HAS LEVELED UP ON THIS RECORD”
ASSOCIATED PRESS

“A ROMANTIC SURVIVOR WITH COWGIRL CRED, CARRIED BY A VOICE THAT CAN CONVEY ACHE AND METTLE IN EQUAL MEASURE”
THE NEW YORK TIMES

Whirlwind, the highly anticipated new album from Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum singer, songwriter and musician Lainey Wilson, is out now via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Get it HERE. The official music video for the album’s title track will also debut today, listen below..

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Jay Joyce (Miranda Lambert, Eric Church), Whirlwind’s 14 tracks are filled with Wilson’s distinct and engaging songwriting. Current single “Hang Tight Honey” is nearing the top 10 on the Country Airplay chart and continues to rise.

Whirlwind is kind of the Western sister of Bell Bottom Country,” says Wilson. “Since that album, I have gotten to experience so many new things and meet folks from different walks of life. Because of that, I’ve become a better songwriter, and I have more understanding. I feel like I’ve truly stepped into what it is that I’m called to be doing. Ironically, I found my path within all the craziness—and that’s the whirlwind.”

The album adds to an already triumphant career for Wilson, who, in just the past year, was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th annual ACM Awards and five awards at the 57th annual CMA Awards (being named Entertainer of the Year at both the ACMs and CMAs). Most recently, Wilson received two awards at the ACM Honors earlier this week: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.

Known for her electric live performances, Wilson will continue to tour throughout the fall with her extensive “Country’s Cool Again” headline tour. Upcoming stops include Los Angeles’ Greek Theater (sold out), Fresno’s Save Mart Center (sold out), Lubbock’s United Supermarkets Arena, Alpharetta’s Ameris Bank Amphitheatre (sold out), Pittsburgh’s Petersen Events Center (sold out), Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center (sold out), Omaha’s CHI Health Center (sold out) and Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Arena among many others. See below for the complete tour itinerary, full details can be found at www.laineywilson.com/tour.

Originally from Baskin, Louisiana and now based in Nashville, Wilson is poised for global stardom. Since her 2016 debut, Wilson has toured extensively across the world and released her last studio album in 2022, the Grammy and CMA Award-winning Bell Bottom Country. Variety raved, “one of the more irresistible collections to come out of the genre in some time.

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.

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.

PIG (Raymond Watts) presents remastered version of seminal 'Sinsation' album, originally released via Trent Reznor's Nothing Records

"A harrowing masterpiece of industrial music, ‘Sinsation’ was born from a crucible of desperation and nihilism, this album captures the raw intensity and emotional turmoil of Raymond Watts at his most vulnerable, reflecting a solitary journey into the depths of his own psyche, fueled by a relentless pursuit of sonic extremity" ~ The Spill Magazine


On the trail of his latest 'Red Room' album, industrial legend Raymond Watts a.k.a. PIG is re-releasing his seminal 'Sinsation' album via Metropolis Records (digital, CD) and Armalyte Industries (vinyl). Out of print for several decades now. this album now makes a fine re-entry to the world, completely re-remastered at Abbey Road

'Sinsation' was originally released in the mid-1990s - both in Japan and on Nothing Records, which was established by Nine Inch Nails kingpin Trent Reznor. An influential and commercially successful label with a cult underground following, PIG joined such artists as Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson, Squarepusher, Autechre, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pop Will Eat Itself, Einstürzende Neubauten and Plaid.

Here, Watts adeptly blends the profound and the profane, featuring such PIG classics as 'Painiac', 'Hamstrung On The Highway' and 'Hot Hole'. As it was since the beginning, Watts & Co teases, taunts, tempts and tantalizes with PIG's singular blend of hook laden, genre-bending, electronic-tinged alternative rock, loaded with malevolent reverence, glitz, glamour, sleaze, sin and swing. 

"Every record I make is PIG through a different noose … and when I made Sinsation the noose hung high. Sinsation was born in 1995 at Ranch Apocalypse in London. The culmination of creation and cremation … an apotheosis of desperation, nihilism and desire … the only place I could go was to the poison well and drink deeply," says Raymond Watts.

"I was locked inside the studio and myself. The barricades were up in my fortress of solitude with only Steve White and a large box of drugs for company. Sinsation was the sound of the last card turning and burning. The only way out was through. I had to give birth to the noise inside my head and record it. A fiendishly simple and yet simply fiendish task. A place in which I was so uncomfortable that success would be to fail, as to fail had been my only success."

Recorded and mixed by PIG and Helen Woodward (Pale Saints, Dodgy, Kitchens of Distinction, Alien Sex Fiend, Ultra Vivid Scene), this album features contributions by several notable artists, including Karl Hyde (Underworld), Jimmy Cauty (The KLF) andt Steve White (KMFDM), who has also collaborated and recorded with Ocean Colour Scene and Mekon, as well as Carol Anne Reynolds (Sow) and Japanese artists Imai Hisashi (Buck Tick) and Hoppy Kamiyama

"Sinsation wasn’t anything about the ascent of man. It was the descent of ham. As surely as everything passes, so did the spotlight on sin, as the long thin shadow that scratched the words from deep within and conducted the chaos would soon cast its darkness on a new vision. PIG would crawl to a different master in me and hang from a new noose," says Watts.

"I was surprised and saddened to re-visit Sinsation, surprised by the energy and invention and saddened to hear the pain … But I was strangely glad to have visited hell, and blessed that I didn’t stay."

Raymond Watts has had quite a colourful and stellar career since cutting his teeth in the mid-1980s industrial rock scene as a member of KMFDM. Apart from releasing 14 albums as PIG, he has toured with Nine Inch Nails, KMFDM and Einstürzende Neubauten, written music for fashion and film (Chloe, Marios Schwab, Halston, The Row), and even did sound design for the exhibition 'Punk: Chaos to Couture' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Watts also collaborated with the late fashion icon Alexander McQueen, who commissioned him (with John Gosling) to embellish the serene instrumental track ‘Inside’ (from PIG's 1999 album ‘Genuine American Monster’) for the soundtrack to ‘Plato’s Atlantis’. The show was reprised after McQueen’s untimely death in as the finale of ‘Savage Beauty', a posthumous retrospective that broke all records at both The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria & Albert Museum.

As of August 23, 'Sinsation (Remastered)' is available from fine online platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where 'Red Room' can also be found (on CD and digitally). The limited edition vinyl offers 2 slabs of black, heavyweight vinyl - barely enough to contain the sin, sleaze and salvation that his album oozes. The gatefold sleeve comes with two inserts - a 12" by 12" lyric sheet and a huge foldout poster (approx 7" x 42") showcasing designer Steve Lovell-Davis' inspired artwork. On the fourth side of the vinyl is Armalyte's very first etched piece - a true beauty of a beast.

On September 28, PIG launches his ‘Heroin For The Damned’ tour with Curse Mackey and Unitcode : Machine. The 40-date itinerary follows PIG's headlining set at Cold Waves XII in Chicago.

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE RELEASES MONSTROUS NEW ALBUM, OPERA

The wait is over. Italian Symphonic Death Metal maestros FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE have returned with their massively anticipated album, Opera, today! Available for stream and purchase now from Nuclear Blast Records, the baroque operatic band’s 6th record is a ferocious collection of intense, volatile tracks directly inspired by frontman Francesco Paoli’s 2021 near fatal mountain climbing accident.

Today, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE unveils the turbulent video for the opus ‘Morphine Waltz’; a  turbulent glimpse at the band’s raging stage show.

Commenting on the track Paoli says:

‘Morphine Waltz’, THE visionary song par excellence, has a much deeper meaning, which goes beyond its lysergic atmosphere. It’s actually a true anthem to science, which once again has proved itself to be the only reality that counts. 

But this track is also a perfect demonstration that our new line-up is on a whole new level, showcasing Veronica’s amazing versatility besides Eugene’s and Fabio’s insane technical skills.

After a few cinematic music videos, we wanted to pay tribute to another essential, if not the most important, dimension for the band: the stage. Delivering intense and truly theatrical live performances allows us to create a direct, unbreakable bond with our fans. And our upcoming North American tour will be our most theatrical ever.

Folks, today is the day! Let's not waste any more time with words and let the music speak for itself.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ‘Opera’!

Opera is structured like a 10-act theatrical piece, as the title itself, draws a clear thread with the everlasting tradition of Italian classical music theater combining it with the epic brutality of death and symphonic metal, which has become their trademark sound. Mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Arch Enemy), Opera definitely marks another step forward for the band, incorporating new suggestions into that unique blend that FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are renowned for: sheer violence, majestic orchestrations and soaring melodies. Such an ambitious musical endeavor called for an equally impressive artwork, a team effort between two arising Italian talents (artist extraordinaire Felicita Fiorini and visionary photographer Francesco Esposito), following the path traced by baroque painters like Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi. The cover art portrays Veronica as Music, a superior entity that defeats the social and artistic decay of modern age.

With this new record, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are setting the bar even higher than before, pioneering what looks like a completely new sub-genre that might be called “Opera Metal”: an unprecedented mix of extreme music and theatrical elements.

Born in 2007, Fleshgod Apocalypse quickly established themselves among the leaders of symphonic death metal.

As of today, some of their most acclaimed releases such as Agony (2011) or King (2016) are still considered milestones by fans and critics alike. With this new record, they're setting the bar even higher, pioneering what looks like a completely new sub-genre that might be called “Opera Metal”: an unprecedented mix of extreme music and theatrical elements.

For sure, this won't sound surprising for anyone who has witnessed one of their intense live performances.

The band is now preparing a huge worldwide touring campaign in support of this new masterpiece.

Fleshgod Apocalypse are now ready to take everyone to “Opera”.

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.”

Randall King Expands Reach with Sold-Out Shows in Norway, Sweden & Denmark

As fans arrived to Randall King’s first three Into the Neon Tour dates in Europe — Norway, Sweden and Denmark — they were greeted with venue signage noting all shows had sold out in advance. A feat the West Texas native never imagined. 

“This was the first time we’ve ever played any of these cities,” King marveled after the first run. “We never imagined we’d play in places as beautiful as Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen, but this crazy dream is bringing us all together everywhere.” 

With no tickets available by the time King took the stage, King's 90-minute set included 17 songs spanning his catalog, encompassing current country radio single "I Could Be That Rain" off his sophomore album Into The Neon, released in January; reflective "Mirror, Mirror" off his self-titled 2018 project; and two-stepping, viral fan-favorite "You In A Honky Tonk" off his major-label debut Shot Glass.

King's international trek spans 10 shows, with remaining headlining stops in Cologne, Germany; Amsterdam, Netherlands; London, UK and more. King will conclude his international tour with a set at The British Country Music Festival in Blackpool, UK on Aug. 31. Limited tickets remain at RandallKingMusic.com.

About Randall King: 
A West Texas native and self-described “old soul," Warner Music Nashville's Randall King has never wavered in his honky-tonk allegiance – in fact, he’s worn it like a badge of honor, growing with pride into a leading voice for today’s traditional country. Amassing nearly 400 Million streams with singles like “You In A Honky Tonk,” “Hey Cowgirl” and “Mirror, Mirror,” he’s kept the twang alive in country’s mainstream while also earning acclaim through deeply personal EPs like 2020’s Leanna, and his 2022 major label album debut, Shot Glass – which landed on both Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far). Schooled on icons like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson, but inspired by modern masters like Dierks Bentley and Gary Allan, King first built an independent, grass-roots following on the strength of his electrifying live shows – each one a harrowing mix of rowdy roughnecking, romantic tenderness and breathtaking emotion – never asking for permission to explore his creative vision. He has since gone on to headline all across the U.S., the U.K. and Europe, where he continues to play nearly 150 shows a year and hone his craft where it matters most. Named a Country Artist to Watch by everyone from Pandora and Country Now to Music Mayhem Magazine, his sophomore major label album Into the Neon, available now, takes that craft to the next level, as King’s neo-traditional roots meet the blood-pumping rhythms and sharp, arena-sized grooves of Y2K-era country and beyond. Co-produced by King and Jared Conrad, and featuring 18 tracks, punchy sounds exist side-by-side with timeless swagger, further blurring the line between yesteryear and today – even as King renews his forever-country vows.

For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to Headbang for Science, an annual scholarship award for high school seniors, undergrads & grad students who are pursuing a career in healthcare and/or the physical sciences. It’s the first scholarship foundation to directly provide financial aid to “Metalheads,” and was founded by SiriusXM curator/host and former Pharmacy grad student Jose “Metal Ambassador” Mangin in 2021.   

3 Inches of Blood drummer Ash Pearson previously commented on the band's long-awaited return to NYC, "We’re very excited to come to New York for the first time in over a decade. New York fans have always been good to us and we’re looking forward to playing for them again. Should be an incredible weekend"

Metal Injection founder and festival organizer Frank Godla said, “Last year was an incredible way to kick things off for the Metal Injection Festival, and with this year being our 20th anniversary I decided to head back to our origins. This year, I bring this mammoth weekend to Brooklyn, NY with a celebration it’s never seen.

"The list of artists and special sets on this roster is truly insane, and I couldn’t be happier about how this shaped up. Even the smallest bands on this roster excite the shit out of me, and will be household names. So here’s your chance to see what they’re made of the way I see them. 

"I can’t wait to see y’all there!”

Pop Evil Announce Fall 2024 Headline Tour Plans

Modern rock powerhouse POP EVIL recently returned with the utterly scorching new single "What Remains." It serves as the dawn of a new era for Pop Evil, which the band promises will be its most sonically heavy. The song was No. 1 Most Added with 55 stations and just debuted at 33 on the active rock radio charts, and is climbing. 

Watch the lyric video for the song, which was produced by Wage War's Cody Quistad, below

Today, the band announces its Fall 2024 tour plans. The band will embark on "The Animal Instinct Tour," which is a co-headline run with Bad Wolves. Sierra Pilot and Oni will serve as support. The trek kicks off October 30 in Jacksonville, North Carolina and runs through November 30 in Lexington, Kentucky.

Additional Pop Evil shows are also on deck. All tour dates are below. Get tickets here

"We are stoked to announce 'The Animal Instinct Tour' with our friends in Bad Wolves," says Pop Evil singer Leigh Kakaty. "This tour will be full of high energy and radio hits from start to finish. We can't wait to see you all out there!"

"It's difficult to express how excited I am to get back on the road again with the boys," says Bad Wolves guitarist Doc Coyle. "Co-headlining with a powerhouse like Pop Evil will be a real treat for fans of both bands and will keep us on our toes to bring our A-game every night. It's a true honor to share the stage with them, Sierra Pilot, and ONI. Bad Wolves will be performing an eclectic set including songs from Die About It that we haven't played yet, and I'm sure some surprises. The band is firing on all cylinders right now, and this will be a hell of a way to close out 2024. LFG, Wolfpack!!!"

About the new single, Kakaty stated, "Over the years, I've been faced with torment; departures, failures, and uphill climbs. It takes a reckoning to strip us to our core and confront our true selves. What endures beyond these trials is who you are, your essence. That is what remains. On our upcoming album, we have dared ourselves to make the most lyrically raw and sonically heavy album of our career. 'What Remains' sets the tone of what is to come."

Kakaty also confirmed the new lineup, saying, "We are also proud to officially announce the newest member of the Pop Evil lineup — Blake Allison." Allison is replacing departed member Hayley Cramer on drums, joining Kakaty and fellow bandmates, guitarists Dave Grahs and Nick Fuelling, and bassist Joey "Chicago" Walser.

About Diamante: With her iconic 80s glamour and undeniably powerful vocals, Diamante has become a beacon in today's music scene, seamlessly weaving the vibrant energy and bold aesthetics of the era while forging her own distinct identity with contemporary flair. She first turned heads with her debut album 'Coming In Hot' in 2018 soon after followed by her sophomore full-length 'American Dream'including her smash-hit reimagination of Goo Goo Dolls classic "Iris" featuring Ben Burnley (Breaking Benjamin), earning widespread acclaim and further propelling her into the spotlight. Diamante has toured alongside prominent acts such as Nita Strauss, Shinedown, The Pretty Reckless, Breaking Benjamin, and Three Days Grace while performing at major national festivals including Sonic Temple, Louder Than Life, and Welcome To Rockville. The alt-pop powerhouse has begun a new era after signing with her new label home Sumerian Records and the release of the irresistibly catchy "1987" and most recent banger, "All For The Glory". With her empowering anthems and rebellious spirit, the sky is the limit as Diamante continues to prove she is a force to reckon with, both in the studio and on stage.

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.”

'NASHVILLE Reunion Tour' Returns to Atlanta & Nashville this Fall

After a sold-out 2023 tour, stars of the iconic hit television series “NASHVILLE” are returning with shows in Atlanta and in Nashville. NASHVILLE Reunion Tour will play Atlanta’s Coca-Cola Roxy on November 22 and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on November 23.
 
The NASHVILLE Reunion Tour will feature stars Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio, who will take the stage to perform classic songs from the series as well as their own original material. 
 
“It’s rare that an actor gets to play a dream role like Scarlett for so long,” said Bowen. “Even rarer to have ‘NASHVILLE’S’ beautiful catalogue of music that we get to continue celebrating with audiences around the world. The live shows are an evolution of the series. We meet so many new fans of the tv show on the road, and they’re out there singing right along with those who’ve been with us from the start, and it’s such an honor for us. We have the best fans in the world.”
 
Esten added, “It’s difficult to describe the depth of feeling I have for the show ‘NASHVILLE,’ the character Deacon, and the amazing people that I got to work with those beautiful six years. That I get to join with some of them, sing these songs, and bring them to the people who made it all possible - the fans of ‘NASHVILLE’ - is a blessing I will never take for granted. I can’t wait to do it again!”
 
With the success of last year’s tour, cast member Jackson said, “I am so excited that the musical journey with the ‘NASHVILLE’ cast is still unfolding. We’ve been digging into the ‘NASHVILLE’ catalogue and uncovering some tunes we’ve never performed live together. I’m immensely grateful to be able to go on the road and perform these songs with my cast mates, our incredible band, and experience it all together with our amazingly dedicated fans.” 
 
Palladio added to those comments saying, “It never ceases to amaze me the dedication and love of the ‘NASHVILLE’ fans. It’s a testament to the music that we still get to perform these songs and feel the love of the crowd after all this time. With the upcoming release of my debut album, it feels like the journey of ‘NASHVILLE’ has brought me full circle and I’m excited to be sharing my new chapter of music.”
 
“NASHVILLE” became a TV phenomenon when it first debuted in 2012. Set against the backdrop of Nashville’s music scene, the show followed the lives of Clare Bowen as Scarlett O'Connor, Chris Carmack as Will Lexington, Charles Esten as Deacon Claybourne, Jonathan Jackson as Avery Barkley, and Sam Palladio as Gunnar Scott as country music superstars, up-and-coming performers and songwriters trying to get ahead in the business. 
 
The show’s popularity grew, instantly reaching over 225 territories worldwide before its final season in 2018. Since its debut, the show has inspired 22 soundtracks, including a Christmas album, which collectively sold millions of album units and single-track downloads around the world. “NASHVILLE” was also critically lauded with multiple Emmy®, Golden Globe® and Critics Choice award nominations. 
 
The incredible cast embodies Music City's creative spirit and will once again take the stage together to celebrate the magic of “NASHVILLE.” 
 
Tickets for Atlanta and Nashville go on sale this Friday, August 23 at 10:00 am local time. Ticket information for both shows can be found at www.nashvillereuniontour.com.

Kenny Chesney Hits New Record @ MetLife; 2+Hours, No Shoes Nation + Lots of Love

Never mind the rain. Kenny Chesney came to MetLife to play, and play hard. The home of the NY Giants and Jets was packed to a level that blew out Chesney’s previous best of 59,999 in 2022 by over a thousand tickets. But even more than the numbers, it was the heart, the hoist and the heft of No Shoes Nation who cranked into a raving a cappella chorus of “American Kids,” swayed side-to-side and raised their lights into the sky to tour rarity “Knowing You” and got swept up in a particularly sultry “Somewhere With You.”
 
“We could tell even before we walked out onstage, MetLife was ready for this show,” Chesney raved after the show. “No Shoes Nation always shows up hard when we play New York, but this crowd, even before they could see us, they made sure we felt all that passion. It was incredible – and then when we walked out, it didn’t let up, not even in the ballads.”
 
For Chesney, making his eighth appearance at MetLife, it’s been a summer of breaking personal records across the country. Whether selling SRO tickets in Tampa, moving the stage all the way back in several cities, or figuring out how to create less obstructed views, the songwriter-superstar from East Tennessee has been committed to having No Shoes Nation in the house.
 
“I never take the faces, or the songs for granted,” the man the Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” explained. “For lots of people these songs are their life, and I want to give that every bit of who I am. It’s an honor to mark someone’s moments and memories; you can tell by the way they sing, how intensely they feel what you’re doing.”
 
It was also a celebration of the spirit of friendship. Beyond revisiting his 6-week No. 1 “When The Sun Goes Down” with Uncle Kracker, as well as sharing Kracker’s redux of Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away,” he had Megan Moroney bounce onstage for a spirited “All The Pretty Girls” and a funky, extended “She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy.” But it was during the encore of “Don’t Happen Twice,” that one of the two little girls who came onstage to receive a football helmet reached onto her wrist – and handed the 8-time Entertainer of the Year her bracelet.
 
“There’s no amount of money that’s more precious than that,” he said of the gesture. “You could feel all that love. It was all that love that had pouring over us all night long. To be on that stage, singing these songs for No Shoes Nation in a place like MetLife? What could be more perfect?”
 
Whether the life-affirming “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright,” the surging lookback of “Young” and “I Go Back’ or the wistful encore “Anything But Mine,” No Shoes Nation was in the zone – moving in stereo with the sweat-soaked musician who never stopped. With over 200 stadium shows to date, he’s not only growing No Shoes Nation, he’s the only country artist in the MetLife/Meadowlands Top 10, as well as being the #2 ticket-seller at MetLife.
 
Sun Goes Down 2024 Tour, including next weekend’s unprecedented three nights at Gillette Stadium is presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum. Celebrating new friends and old, memories in the making and songs that have defined coming of age across the heartland this century, it’s been one crazy, awesome summer.
 

“...because everything gets hotter when the sun goes down...”
