Parmalee Scores 5th No. 1 with "Gonna Love You"

Parmalee, Country radio’s most played band of 2023, score their fifth No. 1 single with “Gonna Love You.” This marks the fourth consecutive No. 1 single for the band, who performed the song on Good Morning America and The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this year. 
 
“Having ‘Gonna Love You’ go No. 1 is special in so many ways,” the band said. “We took a shot with a song completely different from the previous three (we released), and it really connected. Also, this was the song we needed to help tell our story and ultimately film the music video. As difficult as it was on the video set, it was a way to move on, and now we can all celebrate this song and how far we’ve come.”

The North Carolina natives recently performed at the “Concert For Carolina” benefit, which raised more than $25 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts. Parmalee is comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals / guitar and drums, respectively), Cousin Barry Knox (bass), and lifelong friend Josh McSwain (guitar/keyboard).
 
While the band is winding the year with another chart-topping single, they are already prepping for their recently announced Fell In Love With A Cowgirl Tour, which kicks off Feb. 13 in Madison, WI. The tour, featuring special guest Avery Anna, will conclude on Mar. 22 in Edmonton, AB, Canada.
 
“With new music coming early next year, there is energy and excitement around us and our whole team,” said lead singer Matt Thomas. “We wanted to bring that energy to our fans as soon as we could, so we decided to do a headline tour starting in February 2025. We’ll bring the party back to some of the cities we played on the Kane Brown tour as well as some cities we’ve never been to. Can’t wait to kick off 2025 with the Parmlee Famalee.” 
 
Tickets for all markets for the Fell In Love With A Cowgirl Tour are on sale now and available at ParmaleeMusic.com.

TESLA Release Acoustic Music Video; 'ALL ABOUT LOVE' EP Out Now Digitally and on Vinyl ​

Legendary rock band TESLA has unveiled the acoustic music video for their latest single, "All About Love." The track is part of their All About Love EP, which is now available as a special edition release on limited collector's 12" vinyl.

What you will hold in your hands is a one of a kind collectors edition 12” VINYL EP that showcases TESLA’s new song “All About Love” in the three formats that TESLA the band is famously known for: ELECTRIC, ACOUSTIC, and LIVE performances. Multiple versions of this new song are presented here on this EP. 

 Music lovers will state that a great “song” will sound great played in any of these formats, so TESLA’s Brian Wheat and Frank Hannon have teamed up to produce this 12” Vinyl EP of their new single  “All About Love” showcasing these different versions of the song. 

Captured by Brian Wheat in his upstate NY recording studio, there is an electric version that shows how the band performs the song in full force, as well as two stripped down acoustic versions that showcase the dynamics of his mixes. Thus, Jeff Keith’s heartfelt lyrics about sharing love can be felt and to honor TESLA’s tradition of  adding an acoustic instrumental to their love ballads, Frank Hannon recorded here a new classically influenced acoustic guitar solo piece titled “From The Heart” that is a nod to their 1987 hit “Love Song”. 

Furthermore, to present the “live in concert”  element of TESLA, a rendition of "All About Love" segues into James Gang’s classic song "Walk Away", both were recorded live at a Las Vegas concert earlier this year. They are included here as bonus tracks! 

Throughout their nearly 40 year career, TESLA the band has performed diligently showing their prowess in these diverse environments. Both their electric and acoustic formats are received with love and acceptance by their loyal fanbase and TESLA the band is still selling out concerts to this day. 

 So put on your headphones or crank up your sound system to enjoy this audiophile vinyl treat; the ALL ABOUT LOVE E.P. with special edition single on a Limited Collectors 12" vinyl.

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from TESLA include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000.

TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

FRONTIERS ROCK FESTIVAL: Seven More Bands Confirmed!

Following last week’s announcement, Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the names of seven more confirmed bands that will perform at the FRONTIERS ROCK FESTIVAL, set to take place on April 25th, 26th, and 27th, 2025, at the Live Club in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan).

The festival will feature 21 bands in three days – an unmissable experience for all Melodic Rock/Hard Rock fans. It will offer VIP experience packages and many other surprises that will be unveiled soon.

HAREM SCAREM

With the first two albums ('Harem Scarem' of 1991 and 'Mood Swings' of 1993) being the key to bringing these Canadian rockers to the attention of the worldwide audience, Harem Scaremkept on delivering high-quality music throughout the years, and the latest releases: 'Thirteen', 'United' and 'Change the World' are shining examples of it.

Tour after tour, the band has been able to build up a solid and passionate fan base. They will bring on stage - once again - their unique class and musicianship for a show that is expected to be no less than stellar!

MIKE TRAMP’S WHITE LION

Mike Tramp’s name became prominent in the music world with White Lion, starting in 1983. The band enjoyed a huge success worldwide thanks to four beautiful albums until they disbanded in 1992.

After a 4-year time spent with Freak Of Nature, Tramp kicked off his solo career in 1997. Since 2009, Mike Tramp has released nine studio albums, playing live, both as an acoustic solo artist and with a backing band, with no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

The singer/guitarist decided to start a new chapter in his career, re-imagining and re-recording select cuts from White Lion's catalog, bringing this experience live on stage. You’ll be led on an exciting journey through some real classics of the ‘80s and ’90s!

STORACE

Following the decision of Krokus (his band for 40 years!) to stop recording new music and limit their live appearances in 2018, rock legend Marc Storace returned to the scene in 2021, with his solo album 'Live And Let Live.'

Since May 2022, Marc has been performing with his new band and he spent 2023 and 2024 writing and producing the new album 'Crossfire,' a monster piece of Hard Rock, with songwriting shared between Storace, guitar-player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus).

TREAT

Building on the great success of their last albums (2010's 'Coup de Grace', 2016's 'Ghost Of Graceland', 2018's 'Tunguska', and 2022's 'The Endgame'), released after the band’s reunion in 2006, TREAT is still considered one of the best Melodic Hard Rock bands coming out of Europe as well as a fantastic live-act!

Their style of heavenly melodies, seductive arrangements, and impressive songwriting has the band truly at the top of the genre and always favorites for fans of the whole genre.

FM

FM is well known by all the fans of the genre for their big choruses, twin lead guitars and Steve Overland’s intimate, yet powerful vocals, and clean guitar sound!

Put together in 1984 by singer Overland and his brother, guitarist Chris (both formerly of Wildlife), along with drummer Pete Jupp and bassist Merv Goldsworthy, the band is celebrating their 40th Anniversary, with the release of their 14th studio album 'Old Habits Die Hard' accompanied, as always, by an extensive touring schedule throughout the UK, Europe and South America.

THE BIG DEAL

Coming from Serbia, THE BIG DEAL is a unique band in the melodic hard rock genre, as it features two outstanding vocalists, Ana Nikolic and Nevena Brankovic (who is also a highly skilled keyboard/piano player), along with the other three musicians.

Offering a catchy, driving yet powerful sound that is meant to appeal to both, melodic rock and hard rock fans, sound, look, explosive stage presence… they have everything, and they are ready to bring their brilliant musical offer (including some songs taken from the upcoming album 'Electrified') to the FRONTIERS ROCK FESTIVAL audience!

CASSIDY PARIS

Australian rocker Cassidy Paris has started her career at a very young age. At 21 years old, she has already released two sold-out EPs ('Broken Hearted' & 'Flirt'), performed multiple live shows all over her home country, and released her debut album, 'New Sensation,' with 11 tracks of energetic modern rock music.

Raised on classic hard rock and inspired by female rockers such as Lzzy Hale, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, and Avril Lavigne, the fiercely determined young woman met singer/songwriter Paul Laine (Danger Danger, The Defiants) at the age of 11 (!) and he helped her to develop her style and songwriting.

Having already performed in America, the U.K., and Japan, CASSIDY PARIS can’t wait to play Italy for the very first time!

Julien-K Announces New Single, New Band Member, and New Tour Dates for 2025! ​

Julien-K adds veteran touring powerhouse drummer Galen Waling as an official band member. Waling is known for his work in Lords Of Acid, PIG, and Left Spine Down.

Singer Ryan Shuck explained, “We work with so many creatives in our Julien-K extended family, we had always thought of the band as much bigger than just Amir, Fu, and I. It’s normal for us to work with different players, writers, producers in the course of doing what we do - and that won’t change. But as the band has become such a regular touring entity, Galen just fit so solidly into our live world that we started asking him to join us in the studio as well. It just seemed natural to make him an official band member”. 

The band begins an extensive 2025 tour schedule with the Colder Than Hell Tour featuring Vampires Everywhere & Priest, then joins Powerman 5000 though April, as well as, performing at the famous Rainbow Anniversary Festival on the Sunset Strip on April 13th. More tour dates TBA for Fall 2025.

August Burns Red Share Annual Holiday Cover + This Year It's "Waltz of the Flowers"

Grammy-nominated, Lancaster five-piece AUGUST BURNS RED — JB Brubaker [lead guitar], Brent Rambler [rhythm guitar], Matt Greiner [drums], Jake Luhrs [vocals], and Dustin Davidson [bass] — release an instrumental holiday cover song every year. This year, they've chosen the classical track "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and have given it quite the guitar-driven and metallic makeover.

Listen here.

"In keeping with our annual tradition, we are excited to reveal this year's August Burns Red holiday song," the band states. "We tackled the classical ballet 'Waltz of the Flowers,' taken from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. It was so much fun adding our spin to the timeless melodies written by this legendary composer. Hope you like it and Happy Holidays!"

It follows the September release of "Exhumed," which was another slab of angry music for happy people, as is expected from the ABR faithful.

Also, the 2024 edition of the band's annual Christmas Burns Red extravaganza is set for December 13 and 14 at Freedom Hall at the Lancaster Country Convention Center in downtown Lancaster, PA. Tickets, VIP packages, and hotel packages will all be on sale immediately at this location, with discounted Black Friday ticket four-packs available on Friday, November 29.

The Devil Wears Prada, The Ghost Inside, Gideon, Boundaries, Bodysnatcher, and more are set to appear, making it a heavy holiday extravaganza.

ABOUT AUGUST BURNS RED:
August Burns Red is likely the only metal act ever described as "thrillingly empathetic" (Kerrang!). It's a testament to the ferocious band's ability to recognize and connect with the mixture of brokenness and hope found in their audience and within themselves. A hard-working collective with a shockingly stable lineup for the vast majority of their career, August Burns Red pour every ounce of themselves into their music. Atmospheric, riff-laden, aggressive bursts of controlled chaos, filled with shifting time signatures and tempos, deliver confessional, self-reflective, and authentic emotion.
 
Tour stops with Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Parkway Drive, and Bring Me the Horizon; several major international hard rock festivals (Rock Am Ring, Download, and Aftershock, to name a few); and the Vans Warped Tour are among the destinations around the world to witness ABR's live prowess. Massive headlining treks celebrating 10-year anniversaries for Constellations and Leveler demonstrated the enduring relevance of the band’s catalog, nearly 20 years into ABR's storied career. 2020's Guardians debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hard Music, Rock Albums, and Vinyl Albums charts. 
 
Revolver, who put the band on their cover the same year, observed August Burns Red "embrace the pain so well." It's a truth never more evident than on Death Below, their stunning ninth studio album. Recorded with longtime producers Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, Death Below encompasses all of the pissed-off strength of the band's past without sacrificing an ounce of catchy, melodic might. Death Below boasts guest appearances from ABR allies Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage), Spencer Chamberlain (Underoath), Jason Richardson (All That Remains), and JT Cavey (ERRA). "It's getting difficult for the members of August Burns Red to keep one-upping themselves," marveled Billboard shortly before Guardians arrived. With Death Below, they emerge victorious again.

Whiskey Jam Celebrates a Monumental Milestone: 1,000 Shows-and-Counting

Whiskey Jam, Nashville's premier original live independent music series, celebrated its 1,000th show last night (Monday, Nov. 25) in downtown Nashville at Whiskey Row, marking over a decade of elevating the best and brightest in country music.

        450 No. 1 Songs
        129 ACM Awards

        10 Grand Ole Opry Inductions
 
This milestone was celebrated with an unforgettable lineup of performers, featuring Dierks Bentley, Zach Top, Ella Langley, Dasha, Dylan Marlowe, Alana Springsteen, Graham Barham, Zach John King and Jojo DiSilva. Held at its iconic home, Whiskey Jam brought together a crowd of fans, industry leaders and artists who have all played a part in its storied legacy.
 
“The first time I played Whiskey Jam …I got a record deal out of it,” Zach Top reflected on stage during his third Whiskey Jam appearance last night. “Thank you to Ward and everybody that helped put this thing on for giving artists like me – and everybody who’s been on this stage tonight – a chance to come out and play a show. It’s been a success story for a lot of artists and the folks here tonight are a representation of that.”

“I played Whiskey Jam for the first time earlier this year when my album dropped and I was so excited to get the call from Ward to join the 1,000th show,” Dasha adds. “Whiskey Jam is iconic in this town. All your favorite country artists have played that stage and I’m so honored I got to be a part of such a special night.” 
 
What began as a Monday night gathering in a small Midtown dive bar has grown into an integral part of Nashville’s music culture. Whiskey Jam’s stage has become a proving ground for artists at all stages of their careers — from newcomers to chart-toppers. It is where fans have discovered their favorite voices and where artists have refined their craft live.

“When Whiskey Jam started, it was all about getting together with friends to share our music in an exceptionally fun environment,” said Whiskey Jam Founder, Ward Guenther. “It’s grown in ways we never could have imagined and that’s really a testament to our incredible and supportive creative community.” 
 
As Whiskey Jam looks ahead to its next 1,000 shows, the focus remains the same: championing great music, fostering community, and creating moments that matter in the lives of artists and fans alike.

MIKE TRAMP Shares New Single "Till Death Do Us Part" + Cinematic Video

"Till Death Do Us Part" is the latest single from famed rock vocalist and guitarist MIKE TRAMP. The track is off his latest studio album 'Songs Of White Lion – Vol. II' which is out via Frontiers Music Srl. The album's ten tracks see TRAMP re-imagining select cuts from his former band White Lion. "Till Death Do Us Part" is accompanied by a new music video below.

About the new album, MIKE TRAMP shared this:

"Would Leonardo Da Vinci have re-painted Mona Lisa, if he had gotten a second chance? That, we will never know, but I can say for sure, that I am beyond thrilled to have gotten a second chance to re-record and sing the songs I wrote between 1983 and 1990. Today I have such a better understanding of how I want to express the songs in my voice than I had when I was in my 20’s, it’s just a fact, and I’ve grabbed the chance. 'Songs Of White Lion' is a whole new chapter, matter of fact it is current."

TRAMP is out now on tour supporting 'Songs Of White Lion Vol.II'. For a current list of dates, visit HERE

MIKE TRAMP came to prominence in the music world with White Lion, who formed in 1983. After signing to Atlantic Records, the band enjoyed great success with their second album 'Pride' in 1987, which included the hits "Wait" and "When the Children Cry". The band's third album, 'Big Game' (1991), and fourth album, 'Mane Attraction' (1992) continued the band's winning streak, but ultimately WHITE LION disbanded in 1992.

After WHITE LION, TRAMP formed the hard rock band Freak Of Nature, who had a decidedly darker and harder vibe than White Lion. Freak Of Nature would release three studio albums before disbanding in 1996. In 1998, Tramp kicked off his solo career with the album, 'Capricorn'; in 2002, his second solo album 'Recovering The Wasted Years' was released. TRAMP would then take a break from his solo career from 2004-2008 to tour and record under the name Mike Tramp's White Lion and eventually under the name White Lion, releasing the album 'Return Of The Pride' in 2008.

Since 2009, TRAMP has been writing and recording as a solo artist releasing nine studio albums, including his most recent, 2022's 'For Første Gang.' He has also been a consistent presence on the road, both as an acoustic solo artist and with a backing band, with no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

PYLETRIBE DROPS NEW SINGLE "EGYPTIAN PRINCESS"

Combining the iconic talents of legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd member and Rock N Roll Hall of Fame drummer Artimus Pyle, the infectious vocal of son Chris Pyle, and the blistering guitar licks of Eric Gales, PYLETRIBE is proud to release their new single ‘EGYPTIAN PRINCESS” on Madison Records.

LISTEN HERE TO “EGYPTIAN PRINCESS”

Rock N Roll Hall of Fame DrummerArtimus Pyle Quote:

"EGYPTIAN PRINCESS”

was recorded at Ovation Studios with engineer William Stevens, and Chris Pyle wrote, sang, and played guitar on the track.  It is one of the coolest songs I’ve ever played drums on, especially when Guitar Wizard Eric Gales joined us with a scorching guitar solo. Rocking musicians all over the world will love this song!"  ARTIMUS PYLE

Singer Chris Pyle Quote:

“EGYPTIAN PRINCESS” is just one of those songs that feels so right from the very start", said band leader Chris Pyle.  "Having my dad on drums is always the most I could ever ask for.  And then to have Eric Gales, widely regarded as one of the best blues guitar masters in the world, to play on the song is such an honor!   "Egyptian Princess" was already a fiery groove and then Eric doused it with gasoline!"   CHRIS PYLE 

According to GUITAR WORLD magazine, "Eric Gales is one of the greatest electric guitar players on the planet!"

ABOUT THE BAND

Being part of Lynyrd Skynyrd was a life-changing opportunity for Artimus. Not only did he form a close friendship with singer Ronnie Van Zant, but the music he made with the band cemented his place in rock and roll history. He and the other band members were recognized for their talent in 2016 when they were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Artimus continues to make music and share his talent through PYLETRIBE, a band formed by his son Chris Pyle.  "Chris is an incredibly talented musician and songwriter, and I know Ronnie Van Zant would be proud of him,” Artimus says.

"PYLETRIBE really has been in the making my entire life, although most of that time I was playing as a drummer in other people's stories", said Chris. "Then it hit me one day that I had a lot to say, so I picked up the guitar and started writing the songs, and of course I had to have my dad on drums.  Playing with my dad, who was in one of the biggest bands in the world, has been a joy.  And there's just this natural bond that we share musically, which feels just like breathing to us when we play.  We don't even have to think.”   

PYLETRIBE has a Home Town Release Show on Saturday, November 30 at the Grey Eagle in Asheville, NC. Additionally, PYLETRIBE will have numerous touring shows set up for 2025. 

Orianthi to Join Recently Announced Alice Cooper Tour Dates in 2025

ALICE COOPER has announced that guitarist ORIANTHI will be joining his band for shows January 31 through February 16, filling in for Nita Strauss, who unfortunately has conflicting obligations of her own.
 
Orianthi toured with Alice from 2011 to 2014, along with longtime band members Chuck Garric, Glen Sobel, Tommy Henriksen, and Ryan Roxie.
 
Said Cooper, "When Orianthi moved on to pursue her own career in 2014, we were lucky to find Nita. Over the past decade, Nita, Chuck, and Tommy have also launched their own projects, and we always try to coordinate our schedule so we can keep the band together, but these shows came up after Nita had already committed to another tour. So I reached out to Orianthi, and thankfully she was available to jump back in, so we're all really looking forward to doing these shows with her. I'm so fortunate to always have such great musicians to work with."

The tour schedule for these shows is as follows.

ALICE COOPER ON TOUR:
1/31 — Augusta, GA — Bell Auditorium

Chase Rice Performs "Hey God It's Me Again" on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" This Wednesday, Nov. 27

Country music powerhouse Chase Rice is set to deliver standout track “Hey God It’s Me Again” from his critically acclaimed independent album Go Down Singin’ on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” this Wednesday, Nov. 27. Airing just before Thanksgiving, the song’s reflective tone and heartfelt lyrics provide a poignant backdrop to the season of gratitude.
 
“Hey God It’s Me Again” has quickly resonated as a fan-favorite song on Go Down Singin’, an album heralded by critics as a bold and authentic statement of Rice’s artistic evolution. With deeply personal lyrics and stripped-back production, the song encapsulates Rice’s raw, introspective approach to storytelling. As Billboard declares, “his new music leans toward rootsier, raw-rock driven sounds, trading party anthems for introspective lyrical themes,” while “his voice conveys a crackling warmth of self-reflection and an easy-going comfortableness with his new sound.”
 
Rice’s performance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” is a fitting celebration of a year that has seen the artist redefine himself creatively, shifting away from commercial trends to embrace a sound that is undeniably his own. “This song is about gratitude and connection,” shares Rice. “It’s a conversation with God that I think a lot of people can relate to, especially this time of year.”
 
Critics have lauded Go Down Singin’ overall as a career-defining project, with the independent release marking a bold pivot in Rice’s career. Rolling Stone highlights the album as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” noting that it finds Rice “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change.” With songs like “Hey God It’s Me Again,” he showcases growth as a songwriter, weaving personal experiences into music that connects on a universal level. Holler called it “a defiant, autobiographical battle-cry...pervaded by warmth, acceptance, and self-awareness,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaims that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice's new album…what is sure to be one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.”
 
Rice further showcased this new direction with surprise follow-up project Fireside Sessions, which featuring all 25 songs from both Go Down Singin’ and prior album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell as live, single-take versions with cowriters including Lori McKenna, Jackson Dean, Hunter Phelps, Randy Montana and more as featured artists.

About Chase Rice
With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With independent album Go Down Singin’ available everywhere now as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, and both brought together on brand new offering Fireside Sessions, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the American West. The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.”
 
This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice served as direct support on Dierks Bentley’s 2024 Gravel & Gold Tour and consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and beyond.

Multi-Platinum Selling Corey Kent Wraps 1st Leg of 'Black Bandana Tour' w/ Sold Out Stops

Sony Music Nashville artist Corey Kent has spent the fall headlining his international Black Bandana Tour. With sold out stops across the country, the tour will take Kent to the UK in 2025 and, due to demand, the tour has officially been extended into spring 2025 with new dates added. Kent shared news of the tour's extension via social media ahead of wrapping the first leg. 
 
“Y’all helped make the Black Bandana Tour so successful by selling out a bunch of the shows, so we’ve decided to extend the tour into next spring,” Kent shared on Instagram. 

A road veteran himself, drawing inspiration from The Eagles, Keith Richards, Turnpike Troubadours and more, Kent brought his bandana-wearing Rock ‘N’ Roll spirit to Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC this weekend selling over 5,000 tickets across the three day run. The weekend set a personal record for Kent, with his Charlotte show on Saturday marking the most ticket sales in one night, and the Atlanta stop selling out a month in advance.
  
The Oklahoma native will be joined by Clayton Mullen, Lori McKenna, Lanie Gardner and Tyler Halverson on select dates for leg two of his headlining, Black Bandana Tour, which kicks off on Jan. 18 in Fort Worth, TX. The road warrior will trek across the U.S. with stops in St. Louis, Dallas, Chicago and Oklahoma City. Tickets for the extended tour are on sale now. Purchase at coreykentofficial.com.
 
"One of the best parts of doing your own headline tour is getting to pick who you want to open," reflects Kent. "Max McNown, Karley Scott Collins, Braxton Keith and Lauren Watkins were all so great to have on the road this year. So pumped to have Lori McKenna, Tyler Halverson, Lanie Gardner and Clatyon Mullen out next year!"

The sold-out shows come on the heels of the Double-Platinum hitmaker releasing his sophomore album, Black Bandana, earlier this fall. It was named a “Best Album” by NPR’s All Songs Considered with Rolling Stone noting his “charismatic vocals lift every song.” Listen to Black Bandana HERE. And watch the video, directed by Wales Toney, for his current single, “Now or Never" featuring Lauren Alaina below. 

Title track “Black Bandana” helped set the tone for the album Billboard calls, “music for those whose lives have been seasoned by rocky times." Co-written with Rocky Block, Jordan Dozzi, and Brett Tyler, the slow-burning call to stand your ground pairs tender country-rock reverence with a big-picture mindset, helping tie all of Kent’s struggle, success, and plans for the future together. The album was almost finished when he wrote it, Kent says, but he was happy it “derailed” the project.
 
“It encapsulates the journey. The reason we’re here is because we didn’t give up, and the whole record is a call to action against all odds,” he explains. “When the going gets tough and everybody quits, you be the one that stays the course and never gives up. I think there’s a lot of people that relate with that.”
 
Co-writing six of Black Bandana’s 10 songs, what Kent ultimately wanted was to mix themes of integrity, resilience and family with a sonic setting befitting the mission. Finding the midway point between cinematic electric guitars and heart-pounding drums meet a warm, gravel-road rasp, as Kent brings classic rock into the present tense. 
  
Now based in Dallas, the proud husband and father has become a decorated artist on the rise, growing from humble heartland roots into a Platinum certified No. 1 hit maker with 950 million career streams, and a black bandana on his neck. But today, that Black Bandana is more than an accessory – and not just the title track of his sophomore major-label album, which Music Row calls, “gently but unrelentingly uplifting.” It’s his rally cry.
 
Rising from the vibrant Red Dirt country scene as the embodiment of authenticity, Kent set his sights on Nashville as a teen, bringing his self-penned catalog of country-rock anthems with him. But after the pandemic coincided with the loss of his first publishing deal, Kent was forced to move to Texas and get a job on a paving crew to pay the bills, yet he stubbornly refused to call music quits. Honky-tonks and dancehalls on both sides of the Red River became his stomping ground, and slowly but surely, the black bandana spirit grew.
 
Fast forward a few years and the hit single “Wild As Her” proved he was right all along. An untamed tribute to a free-spirited stunner, the track re-invigorated Kent’s career as a now Double-Platinum-certified No. 1 at country radio, and the lead single off his major label album debut, Blacktop. Despite never cracking country radio’s Top 40, Kent’s trust-your-gut second single “Something’s Gonna Kill Me” went Gold (and is now approaching Platinum status), proving his message was connecting. And momentum kept building, with Kent hitting the road alongside Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum and more. Next-big-thing accolades came in from CMT, Opry Next Stage and more, but even as Kent became the most played new artist on country radio for all of 2023, he kept the underdog, who-cares-about-conventional-wisdom mentality. And so did his fans.
 
For Kent, the point was that his fans have the same independent spirit he does, and he took that lesson into his next chapter. Settled into his ranch in Texas and intent on being fully present as husband and father, while also achieving his dreams, his second album is all about finding balance, keeping clear eyes on what’s important – and waving that Black Bandana for all to see.

Kent is also connecting with friends on the road in his new podcast “Bus Call.” The podcast finds Kent chatting with everyone from country music star Bailey Zimmerman to 2023 Doak Walker Award winner, OSU Running Back Ollie Gordon. The Texas Troubadour and his guests share laughs, inspirational moments and talk through the ups and downs of both business and personal life. Listen to all episodes of season one now.

Pistols at Dawn Drop Cover of "Last Christmas"

Atlanta foursome PISTOLS AT DAWN — Adam Jaffe [drums], Will James [lead guitar], Gabriel Cuevas [bass], and Jon Sookdew Sing [lead vocals] — have released their gorgeous, lilting, and sonically layered cover of WHAM's holiday classic "Last Christmas."

The band also shared the lyric video for the festive track.

Raise a mug of eggnog or mint hot chocolate, eat some homemade cookies, and watch it below.

"'Last Christmas' is definitely the one that stood out to us amongst the Christmas staples, and we wanted to make our own version of this beloved classic," shares the band. "But we didn't just want to make a cut and paste cover. We wanted to make a true Pistols at Dawn version, and between Jon's intimate vocal performance and Will's signature guitar playing, we were able to create a song that would make George Michael proud... With its beautiful string arrangement, this will be a welcome addition to all gatherings around the fireplace surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones for generations to come."

It follows the new single "Obsession." Watch the lyric video here. It also follows the band's hit track "Not Sorry," which is working its way up the Active Rock radio airplay charts since it's a banger.

The band has also booked appearances at upcoming radio holiday shows. Those are listed below.

PISTOLS AT DAWN LIVE:
12/3 — KIBZ The Blaze Kampout for Kids — Lincoln, NE
12/5 — KQRA Q102.1 Low-Dough Holiday Show — Springfield, MO
12/7 — WJJO Holiday Show at Stormys — Madison WI
12/9 — Bowery Electric — New York, NY (Supporting Return to Dust)
12/11 —  WQLZ 97.1 United Way Charity Show — Springfield, IL

Pistols At Dawn craft the kind of rock music that doesn't just reach the rafters; it breaks through the ceiling. Sky-high hooks stretch into the heavens, a powerful low-end rumbles without apology, and riffs roar at all the right moments. Thus far, the Atlanta band have emerged as a phenomenon. They've amassed nearly 10 million global streams and views, infiltrated the Billboard and Mediabase Top 40 Active Rock charts, earned acclaim from American Songwriter, Brave Words, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and embarked upon global tours alongside heavy-hitters such as Alter Bridge, Mammoth WVH, and Fozzy, to name a few. The quartet canvased the world throughout 2022 and 2023. Upon returning stateside, they opted to decamp to Los Angeles in order to assemble new material. Stayed tuned for more, because Pistols at Dawn are leveling up.

Jason Charles Miller Releases Deep Purple-Inspired “I Need A Rescue” Video ​

Jason Charles Miller has released his official music video for “I Need A Rescue,” the second video from his new album ‘Knives In The Dark.’ The song and video features guest keyboardist and vocalist Ellis Hall, best known for his work with Tower Of Power, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Patti LaBelle, to name just a few. 

“The song ‘I Need a Rescue’ accidentally became a tribute to Deep Purple – Mark 3 in particular, the David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes lineup that did the albums ‘Burn’ and ‘Stormbringer’,” Miller says of the track. “I’ve often said that ‘Burn’ has been one of the most influential albums in my life, and I think it’s one of the best rock albums in history, period! Once Gary [Potter, guitarist] came up with the riff for ‘Rescue,’ the song basically wrote itself. I had become friendly with Ellis Hall through knowing his family, and he’s an absolute legend.  What he added to the recording, with his B3 playing and amazing vocals, really took it over the top.”

“I wanted to have a video where we are all just jamming the song, really vibing with it, so having my live band be in the video along with Ellis was super important to me,” he continues of the video itself. “Our director Andrew Fogel found the perfect location, making us the ultimate ‘garage band.’  Talk about going back to your roots! You’ll notice a purple tinge to the entire video, as an easter egg and a nod to the biggest influencers of the song!”

WATCH THE “I NEED A RESCUE” MUSIC VIDEO BELOW:

Released this summer on One Opportunity Records, ‘Knives In The Dark’ will be Miller’s first solo album to see physical release in Japan, where it drops November 22 via a joint partnership with Ward Records. The Japanese CD features Miller’s acoustic cover of Iron Maiden’s “Wasted Years” as a bonus track. 

Spin hailed Miller’s “gritty rock and country hybrid” and named him one of “10 Emerging Artists Shaping the Future of Sound” in a November feature, with Rolling Stone, Forbes, and even Nerdist and Comic Book Resources coming on board to feature the music and gaming crossover’s latest musical campaign.

Pop Evil Share "Deathwalk" Video

Modern rock powerhouse POP EVIL follow their scorching single "What Remains" with new, dark track "Deathwalk," produced by Zach Jones & KJ Strock.

The band shared the cinematic music video, directed by Sam Shapiro. Fans will plunge into the dark, fragmented landscape of lead singer Leigh Kakaty's psyche, unraveling the thin line between self-identity and survival. Kakaty confronts existential questions of his own mortality and legacy.

Watch it below. 

"We are the accused, the guilty, the damned," the singer says about the harrowing track. "At the end of our 'Deathwalk,' judgment awaits. Are you at peace with what you will leave behind?"

Pop Evil returned in August by showcasing their new sound with single "What Remains." It was produced by Wage War's Cody Quistad and serves as the dawn of a new era for Pop Evil, which the band promises will be its most sonically heavy. "What Remains" currently sits at No. 8 on the Mainstream Active Rock Chart.

The six-time RIAA gold-certified band, plus newly platinum-certified track, "Torn to Pieces," is gearing up for its forthcoming eighth studio album, set for release in Spring 2025.

Pop Evil are currently finishing up the final dates of The Animal Instinct Tour with Bad Wolves. Sierra Pilot and Oni are serving as support. All remaining tour dates are below. Get tickets here. 

Kakaty previously confirmed the band’s 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.   

Pop Evil first rose to international prominence with debut album Lipstick on the Mirror, featuring RIAA Certified Gold Single "100 in a 55." After Kakaty famously tore up the band's major label contract onstage, Pop Evil signed with MNRK Heavy (formerly eOne Music). 2011's War of Angels debuted in the Top 10 of the Rock Albums chart and produced three Top 10 singles.

The band's 2013 album Onyx put them in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 for the first time and boasted three consecutive No.1 rock songs, two RIAA Gold Singles, and one Platinum Single with "Torn to Pieces." Pop Evil's next release, Up, was the No.1 Independent Album in America and made it to #25 on the Billboard 200. It featured several Top 5 rock songs and a chart-topper with "Footsteps," which also went Gold. 

Pop Evil's 2018 self-titled set included the No.1 hit and newly certified Gold single "Waking Lions" and two other Top 10 hits. 2020's Versatile, meanwhile, scored two No.1 rock songs: "Breathe Again" and "Survivor." In 2023, the band released its seventh studio album Skeletons, which spawned their eighth and ninth No.1 singles: "Eye of the Storm" and "Skeletons."

The First Seven Bands to Rock FRF 2025

WINGER:

Founded by bassist/singer Kip Winger, they have been and still are one of the driving forces of the U.S. Hard Rock scene coming out of the ‘80s. They released their seventh studio album, aptly titled 'Seven', last year, featuring their usual incredible instrumental and vocal prowess at the service of superb Hard-Rock songs and with an uncanny sense of melody.

The FRONTIERS ROCK FESTIVAL show will be their last ever in Italy and will include all the original line-up members (Winger/Beach/Morgenstein/Taylor).

PRIDE OF LIONS:

One of the most relevant bands in the whole Melodic Rock / AOR scene worldwide. Led by legendary Grammy-winning songwriter and keyboards/guitar player Jim Peterik (co-founder of The Ides of March, co-writer with .38 Special and formerly of Survivor), together with powerhouse vocalist Toby Hitchcock. Get ready for some amazing and epic music, enriched by fabulous musicianship, unforgettable hits, and pure class!

BONFIRE:

Founded by guitarist Hans Ziller, they are one of the most important Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands coming out of Germany, with a 35+ years career, bringing their unique sound made of catchy melodies, killer guitar-riffs and groovy rhythms.

With the new fantastic singer Dyan Mair on board, BONFIRE are ready to rock Italy with a storming performance, that will feature their big hits and new songs from the brand-new release coming out in January.

RONNIE ROMERO:

Ronnie Romero's voice and prolific musical output brought him to the forefront of the Hard Rock and Melodic Metal scene, having worked with artists and bands such as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, Lords of Black, The Ferrymen, Sunstorm, and lately Elegant Weapons (featuring Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner). He has recently started a successful solo career with three albums and has proved throughout the years to be a force to be reckoned with. Ronnie was born to ROCK!

CHEZ KANE:

Hot British Rock singer Chez Kane has become a very appreciated name in the Melodic Rock scene, thanks to her two amazing albums, the self-titled debut (2021) and the follow-up 'Powerzone' (2022). Discovered and produced by Danny Rexon of Crazy Lixx, Chez Kane’s sound embraces the classic infectious ‘80s Melodic Rock style, but with a modern twist.

GIRISH & THE CHRONICLES:

Hailing from Bengaluru, India, Girish & The Chronicles have made their reputation among rock fans for their powerful vocals, striking guitars, thunderous bass, and pounding drums, staying true to the authentic ‘80s Heavy Metal/Hard Rock sound which they grew up with.

With three acclaimed studio albums and countless gigs in their home country as well as in Europe, Girish & The Chronicles have been steadily gaining popularity and prominence globally, also thanks to their vocalist Girish Pradhan, the leading force of the band.

FANS OF THE DARK:

Coming from Stockholm, Sweden the band was put together by drummer/songwriter Freddie Allen and lead vocalist Alex Falk in the summer of 2020, in the last 4 years they have released three albums plus a digital-only EP.

With a style that mixes classic and melodic Rock with the great Metal music of the '80s, some outstanding vocals, and some unique elements thrown in for good measure, Fans Of The Dark represents a striking breath of fresh air in the Rock scene.

These seven acts are just the start… Stay tuned as more bands to be revealed soon!

Music has always been about bringing people together and offering a break from the grind, even if it’s just for a few hours.”
 
Fan club presales for BG Nation begin Monday, Nov. 25, and general on sale begins Friday, Nov. 29 at 10am local time at BrantleyGilbert.com.
 
With a focus on ensuring each tour stop delivers an unforgettable experience, Gilbert will be joined by special guests Travis Denning, Black Stone Cherry, Austin Snell, Colt Ford and Payton Smith on select dates. Full dates below with additional cities to be announced. Tattoos Tour 2025 support assets available HERE.
 
Featuring 10 songs all co-written and co-produced by the Georgia native, Tattoos is “a collection of carefully crafted songs reflecting different chapters of his life,” observes Forbes, while GRAMMY.com notes Gilbert “inks another portrait of small-town country life.”
 
Gilbert and ACM New Female Artist of the Year nominee Ashley Cooke recently brought lead single and chart-climbing duet to NBC’s “The Kelly Clarkson Show” with a performance of “Over When We’re Sober.” Watch the performance HERE.

With about 90 songs to choose from, Gilbert carefully laid his Tattoos out with the help of co-producer Brock Berryhill. Some came from an all hands-on-deck weekend at Lee Brice’s Nashville property, with Jelly Roll and more, determined to write with no pre-conditions. Others found their way to Gilbert through friends who know his creative soul.
 
The result – predictably enough – is an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, but he was careful to put an emphasis on his early days, both in sound and substance, focusing on real instruments over synthetic effects and put to use in a variety of big-picture, small-town settings.

About Brantley Gilbert
As one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, available now, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. An era-defining artist forever bonded to his fans, Gilbert’s been mining the timeless values of hard-working dedication, high-octane thrills and humble faith since his 2009 debut, A Modern Day Prodigal Son, creating a chart-topping grit-and-grace fusion which helped set the stage for today’s genre-blending format. With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. His world-class pen helped create a watershed hit with Jason Aldean’s 4x Platinum country-rap game changer, “Dirt Road Anthem.” And possessing a can’t-fake-it quality of fierce independence, the ACM, CMA and AMA award winner has toured alongside everyone from Willie Nelson and Toby Keith to Kenny Chesney, Nickelback and more. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 cowritten, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. Tracks like full-throttle “Off the Rails” and intoxicating chart-climbing single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke lead a set packed with guest appearances from Gary LeVox, Justin Moore, Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones. Gilbert will embark on his headlining Tattoos Tour 2025 in February, with stops across North America through the spring, with additional festival dates this summer.

LAINEY WILSON SECURES CMA FEMALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR FOR THE THIRD CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Lainey Wilson entered the 2024 CMA Awards as a host alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning for the first time this year and by the close of the show was awarded two CMA Awards including: Female Vocalist of the Year, her third consecutive win in the category, and Music Video of the Year for her #1 hit song “Wildflowers and Wild Horses.” 

In her acceptance speech for Female Vocalist of the Year, Lainey shared: "I've always been told if you feel like you've got a gift, you're supposed to share it, and I think that means whether you drive a tractor or pour coffee, make people smile or laugh, whatever that is I think you're supposed to share that gift."

Throughout the broadcast, Lainey would take the stage for two performances — an emotive, cinematic adaption of her current Top 20 and rising Broken Bow Records single “4x4xU” from her 2025 GRAMMY-nominated Country Album of the Year, Whirlwind, and again for the George Strait tribute performing his signature “Amarillo By Morning.” Lainey's live adaptation of "4x4xU" will release tonight to all streaming platforms. Pre-save/pre-add HERE.

BMG Publishing was proud to see writer Dan Wilson capture a CMA Award for Song of the Year for “White Horse,” a track co-penned and recorded by Chris Stapleton. 

In addition, 2025 GRAMMY nominee Jelly Roll, a three-time nominee at the 2024 CMA Awards, also hit the stage twice throughout the broadcast — first with Brooks & Dunn, 2024 Duo of the Year winners, for a powerful and moving performance of “Believe” that had the audience in tears and later with Keith Urban on his fiery Stoney Creek Records single “Liar” from his just-released Billboard 200 #1 album, Beautifully Broken.
