Osiah Announce New Album 'Kairos' Out December 8 (via Unique Leader Records) + Drop New Single + Lyric Video "A Great Nothing"

Deathcore quartet Osiah has today announced their new forthcoming album 'Kairos' set for release on Friday, December 8 (via Unique Leader Records). In celebration of the news, the band has unleashed their latest single "A Great Nothing" and the accompanying lyric video. Speaking on today's announcement, the band shared:

"Throughout Osiah’s musical journey we have constantly strived to find out who we are as a band, since our last album ‘Loss’ we have taken the time to experiment more in order to fully utilise our creative freedom and find the uniqueness that lies within us. We are incredibly proud of ‘Kairos’ and the reception already received for what is out there, we truly feel this album represents us better than any record previous and as a line up we’ve never been more capable than to push our musical boundaries. This is our strongest record to date, forged from the strongest of unity in our endeavours. We can’t wait for it to be out there."

Prior to today, Osiah released "Kardashev Denied" and the accompanying music video, as well as their 'Chronos' EP earlier this year which can also be found on the physical formats of the upcoming full-length. Pre-save 'Kairos' here, and watch the lyric video for "A Great Nothing" below.

Thanks to MF Boxing Academy for letting us use their room.

Hailing from the extreme music melting pot that is the northeast of England, Osiah transcends the deathcore label with what could possibly be the most torturous barrage of filth the UK has produced in recent years. Crushingly intense breakdowns and deathly chops tread a familiar path, but jarringly detuned guitars, unpredictable tempo changes and vocals that range from wide-ranging pitched screams to commanding guttural bowel openers add an extra evil to the sound that cannot be put into words.

After releasing their first EP 'Reborn Through Hate' in 2015, Osiah released their first full-length album ‘Terror Firma’ in June 2016 via Siege Music. The album gained praise from Metal Hammer Magazine, Bloody Disgusting, and many other prestigious publications, cementing the band as the hottest and heaviest band on the UK deathcore scene.

The resulting work lead to the band signing to Unique Leader Records in 2018 and releasing their sophomore album 'Kingdom of Lies' in 2019. In 2021, Osiah released their third album 'Loss' and unleashed their latest EP 'Chronos' in early 2023.

Jenna Paulette’s “You Ain’t No Cowboy” Encourages Mental Health Conversations Among Ag Workers on World Mental Health Day

JENNA PAULETTE’S “YOU AIN’T NO COWBOY” 
SHEDS LIGHT ON SOBERING REALITY OF ADDICTION 
& SUICIDE AMONG AGRICULTURE WORKERS
ON WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY

Watch the Powerful Music Video, in Partnership with the 
Texas Department of Agriculture.

Jenna Paulette has experienced firsthand the ebbs and flows of being a rancher alongside her family, working cattle on their ranch in Thackerville, Oklahoma. It’s where she learned the value of living off the land, along with the stressors that coincide with a livelihood that depends on factors outside of your control – weather, market prices, tariffs and more – and which often lead to increased rates of depression, addiction and suicide among ag workers. 
 
Challenging the traditional notion of how people view cowboys and the stigma that prevents many from speaking about their reality, Paulette debuts her official music video for “You Ain’t No Cowboy” in partnership with the Texas Department of Agriculture today to coincide with World Mental Health Day. Watch HERE.
 
Directed by Quinton Cook, the video spans nearly five minutes with the intention of encouraging mental health conversations among ag workers and providing resources for them to seek help by directing people to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Hotline. Opening with the sobering fact from the National Rural Health Association that the suicide rate among the agriculture community is 3.5 times higher than the national average, the video explores the spiral of a difficult season and a cowboy who relies on alcohol and drugs to cope.
 
For Paulette, it’s an important message that she hopes will help to change the perception of a cowboy. To her, a cowboy isn’t defined by the job, but is someone with the character to overcome any obstacle thrown their way. Expanding on the concept, she shares, “Whether you struggle with addiction, a cycle of harmful thoughts, suicide, depression, financial disaster, the list is long… Sometimes putting a stake in the ground is making a phone call to a helpline; sometimes it’s taking a hard look in the mirror at who you are and deciding that’s not who you want to be.
 
“The power to change and have a full life is there for the taking, you’re just a decision away from a redeemed life. This video is a call to action for those suffering and the end is a glimpse of hope into the life of a real man who is on the other side of adversity.”
 
As the story progresses, it ends on a hopeful note, inspired by the men in Paulette’s life who have weathered the storm, found help and came out stronger because of it – including her cowboy, Ross.
 
“The cowboys in my world, including Ross, the love of my life, have overcome one or many of those challenges… Ross is five years sober; he plays the cowboy in the video. I knew him after he quit using and drinking. He made a conscious decision to take his life back and with grace and the strength of God, good men and family around him he was able to do it,” she adds.
 
The moving song is one of 16 tracks off her debut album, The Girl I Was, which arrived in March, showcasing a level of honesty that left The Tennessean musing “gripping clarity, emotion and feeling are more readily apparent in her work than ever before,” and Billboard noting she arrives “confident” and “carefree.” Paulette made her Grand Ole Opry debut on Aug. 18 and is set to perform the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo on Dec. 13.

About Jenna Paulette: 
A CMT Next Women of Country in 2022 and Apple Music’s Country Riser of the Month for March 2023, singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette — a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty realities of ranch life — is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. Paulette settled in Nashville in 2015, where she struck up a mentorship with Ashley Gorley – a veteran songwriter with 60+ No. 1 tunes under his belt – which ultimately led to her publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music in June 2021. Since collaborating with songwriters Will Bundy, Rhett Akins and Jessie Jo Dillion, as well as opening for Mason Ramsey, Parmalee, John Michael Montgomery, Clay Walker and most recently Aaron Watson, Paulette has landed brand partnerships with Justin Boots, Boot Barn, Ely Cattleman  and Ranch Water.
 
Her debut album The Girl I Was, is available now, showcasing Paulette’s finely calibrated blend of toughness and sensitivity in tracks like “Country In The Girl” and “Pretty Ugly.” Wearing her heart on her sleeve, The Tennessean noted of the project that “gripping clarity, emotion and feeling are more readily apparent in her work than ever before.” Paulette continued to spotlight her authentic western lifestyle, performing the national anthem at the Professional Bull Riding World Finals; as well as day working on ranches across Texas and performing in multiple festivals including CMA Fest. She recently made her Grand Ole Opry debut and will perform the national anthem at this year’s National Finals Rodeo on Dec. 13. For more information, visit www.jennapaulette.com.

Music Knox Records/BBR Music Group recording artist Tim Montana's inaugural American Thread benefit concert, held October 2 at Nashville's City Winery, can be stamped as 'Mission Accomplished.'  The SOLD OUT special concert event (and the following day's clays shoot), benefiting Special Ops Xcursions, a nonprofit that supports U.S. special operations forces and their families, raised over $334,000 for men and women in uniform. Special surprise guest performers were Colbie Caillat, Collective Soul, Darryl Worley, Elvie Shane, Michael Ray and Tyler Farr.
 
The event also featured guest speaker Sgt. Omar "Crispy" Avila, a war hero and U.S. Army vet. Action sports legend Travis Pastrana and his sidekick, Street Bike Tommy(both of Nitro Circus fame), were also in attendance.
 
For the past three years, Montana has headed up the American Thread Sporting Clays Shoot in Nashville, drawing celebs who lent their time to help our nation's military heroes. This year, Montana continued that tradition with the fourth annual Tim Montana & Friends American Thread Sporting Clays Shoot, held the day following the concert at the Nashville Gun Club. After this week's events – four years since the clays shoot's inception – Montana has officially raised over 1.1 million dollars for Special Ops Xcursions.
 
"This year’s event was our biggest yet," says Montana. "From the artists that volunteered their time and talents, to the sponsors that made this possible, I’m so incredibly proud of what we’re doing for the veteran and active duty military community. Thank you Trevor Pardue, Scott Graves and all of our board members for your tireless work. Breaking a million dollars in just four years is no easy feat and we’re just getting started."
 
Montana plans to continue his American Thread events for years to come.

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

Written by McCreery, Frank Rogers and Brent Anderson and produced by Rogers, Derek Wells, and Aaron Eshuis, “Cab in a Solo” offers the first taste of new music from McCreery since the release of his 2021 album Same Truck. Stream “Cab in a Solo” HERE.
 
Upon its release, Taste of Country declared “McCreery’s country roots shine.” With a hint of neotraditional country and dash of 90’s country nostalgia, the heartbreak track finds the happily married father in unfamiliar territory – lamenting a failed relationship.

“Cab in a Solo” follows the recent success of “It Matters to Her” the fastest climbing single of McCreery’s career. The singer/songwriter has earned five consecutive No. 1 hits in the last few years including RIAA Platinum-certified No. 1 “Damn Strait” and RIAA Gold-certified No. 1 “You Time,” all found on Same Truck: The Deluxe Album. 
 
Earlier this summer McCreery joined the Brooks & Dunn REBOOT Tour 2023. He is currently out on the road for his own headlining tour with 25+ dates through the fall.
 
McCreery is among six inductees in the 2023 class scheduled to be enshrined in the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame during the annual induction ceremony this fall. The induction ceremony will take place on Thursday, October 19, 2023, at the Mooresville Performing Arts Center in Mooresville, N.C. VIP and General Reserved tickets are available HERE.

Lainey Wilson’s “Watermelon Moonshine” Hits No.1 At Country Radio

As the leading 2023 CMA nominee and reigning ACM Female Vocalist of The Year, “Watermelon Moonshine” hails as Wilson’s fifth consecutive #1song 

Multi award-winning singer songwriter and break-out actress, Lainey Wilson received her fifth consecutive No.1 song at Country Radio with “Watermelon Moonshine” off her critically acclaimed album, Bell Bottom Country.

“Watermelon Moonshine” follows as the second single from Bell Bottom Country, with the first being “Heart Like A Truck.” Earlier this month, “Watermelon Moonshine” also hit No.1 on Billboard’s Country airplay, making her the first solo female artist in two years to have a song reach No.1, and the female artist to have the most No.1’s on Billboard’s Country Airplay charts this decade. The last solo female to top the Billboard Country airplay was Wilson’s “Things a Man Oughta Know” in Sept. 2021. You can listen to “Watermelon Moonshine” HERE. 

“I’m so honored that 'Watermelon Moonshine' hit #1 on Country Radio this week! This song was co-written with two incredible songwriters, Josh Kear and Jordan Schmidt, and I couldn’t be more proud listening to folks sing it back at shows,” said Wilson. “This track represents the storytelling I grew up with and reflects on that young love we all like to reminisce on.”

Previously breaking the record for the shortest gap between No.1 singles at Country Radio this year with her song “Heart Like a Truck” and her “wait in the truck” collaboration with HARDY, there’s no sign of Wilson slowing down, as she continues to establish her prominence within the Country industry, most recently being named the most nominated artist at this year’s CMA Awards with a record-breaking nine nominations, including Album and Entertainer of The Year.

Already this year, Wilson has won four ACM Awards, two CMT Music Awards, three PCCA Awards, completed a 28-date sold-out headlining tour, made her Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Lollapalooza debut, was honored as Billboard Women in Music’s 2023 “Rulebreaker”, and started touring stadiums with Luke Combs as support on his world tour. Fans can also catch Lainey at festivals including Riverfront Revival, Rome River Jam, Desert Sky Music Festival, HARDY’s The Mockingbird & The Crow tour and at Wilson’s four sold-out “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” shows at NFR later this year.

About Lainey Wilson:
As the leading female nominee and winner at the 2023 ACM awards with, Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of The Year, Visual Media and Musical Event of the Year and reigning CMA 2022 Female Vocalist and New Artist of the Year, Lainey Wilson has earned the enthusiasm of the industry. Critically-acclaimed and touted as a top “artist to watch,” to being crowned the most nominated artist at both the 2023 CMA Awards (with a record breaking nine nominations) and CMT Music Awards, the Louisiana native has made a name for herself in the industry as one of music’s hottest and most buzzed-about new artists. Landing her first No. 1 with her PLATINUM Certified ACM Song of the Year, “Things A Man Oughta Know,” nearly 10 years to the day after leaving her small farming community in a camper trailer to chase her dreams, she has won over legions of fans with her signature Bell Bottom Country sound and aesthetic, which blends traditional Country with a modern yet retro flare. A prolific and sought-after songwriter (having co-writer credits on songs by artists including Luke Combs, Flatland Calvary, and more), Lainey is a fresh, fierce voice in Nashville, delivering CMA-nominated album of the year with her label debut, Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin'. With a rockstar stage presence, her artistry has taken her across the globe, performing for sold-out crowds throughout the US, UK, and Germany with notable names like Jon Pardi, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, HARDY, Jason Aldean, Ashley McBryde, and more. After topping the country radio charts for a second time with the two-week No. 1 hit, “Never Say Never” with Cole Swindell, she recently achieved her third and fourth No. 1 song with “Heart Like a Truck” and HARDY collaboration “wait in the truck”. Her current single “Watermelon Moonshine” topped the Country charts marking her fifth No. 1 single and making her the first female artist in two years to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Country airplay chart.  Her critically acclaimed album, Bell Bottom Country, reached No. 9 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart, quickly rose to No. 1 on iTunes charts and has amassed over 650 million streams to date. Wilson made her acting debut in Season 5 of the smash hit series Yellowstone as a musician character named Abby, where she premiered her original “Smell Like Smoke” as well as showcased other hits off her recent album including “Watermelon Moonshine” and “Hold My Halo”. Adding to her growing list of endeavors, Wilson was recently named “Tractor Supply Brand Ambassador,” was honored at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards with the Rulebreaker Award, and most recently joined forces with Wrangler as the face of their 2023 fall/winter women's collection.

END Share "Thaw" Video — WATCH

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

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

 Watch the video, full of frenetic visuals, below.
 

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

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

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

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

Thornhill Share "Viper Room" Video — WATCH

A palpitating fusion of swagger, driving beats, and swooning melodics alongside razor-sharp guitars, "Viper Room" is Thornhill at their most potent to date, drawing to mind the feverish urgency of early Muse with the trademark Thorny rock 'n' roll wizardry.

Also accompanied by a brand new music video featuring a lurid narrative worthy of Hollywood's own infamous club of the same name, "Viper Room" lavishly introduces the first new Thornhill material since their ARIA-nominated 2022 album Heroine — and it's a theatrical rock masterstroke.

"'Viper Room' discusses a one-sided urge to keep pursuing an individual out of stubborn lust and fear, even when given explicit warning to move on," the band states.

Thornhill solidified an undeniable reputation an innovative and immersive heavy act in the Australian scene. Debuting at #3 on the ARIA Album chart, Heroine also debuted at #1 on the Australian Album chart, and has since had more than 8.5 million streams to date.

Rounding out a huge 2022 appearing at Good Things Festival with headliners Bring Me The Horizon and many more in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, Thornhill also ticked off some of their biggest Australian shows to date last year, selling out most of their headline tour, supporting The Butterfly Effect nationally, and performing their first ever U.S. headline shows on the East Coast, along with supporting ERRA and Alpha Wolf.

Amassing a heaving array of accolades over the years, including triple j's Feature Album and additions to countless Best Of The Year listings for their 2019 release The Dark Pool, Thornhill completed a regional Australian headline tour earlier this year as well as a mammoth North American run supporting The Plot In You and a performance in the UK for Radar Fest alongside Sleep Token, Monuments, and many more.

Pete International Airport releases 'Tic Tac' 7" vinyl version feat. Slowdive's Rachel Goswell - * PIA's new album 'It Felt Like the End of the World' is out now

Portland-based Pete International Airport has released 'Tic Tac' 7" vinyl version via Little Cloud Records, pressed on translucent yellow vinyl.  Featuring Slowdive goddess Rachel Goswell as both vocalist and co-writer, the single is complemented by a remix by the iconic Anton Newcombe (The Brian Jonestown Massacre) as the B-side.

Pete International Airport is the brainchild of guitarist Peter G. Holmström of The Dandy Warhols.  Named after one of their songs, this eclectic project builds immersive soundscapes that are also classic, catchy songs.  Holmström has an uncanny ability to curate, with a penchant for dropping collaborators into challenging creative spaces—both virtual and actual—then letting them duke it out.

'Tic Tac' is lifted from PIA's recently released third album 'It Felt Like The End of the World' - a meticulously crafted psychedelic rock journey into the dark heart of electronica.

"I co-wrote 'Tic Tac'. I bought his last album and I really liked it. Peter Holmström has different singers on each song and co-writes with everybody, which I think is a really interesting way to work. Obviously, Pete is a guitarist, first and foremost, and a very good one. He sent me music for 'Tic Tac, and it's actually changed a lot. It was a lot more guitar-y, the original musical piece that he sent me, and it got really stripped down and changed," says Rachel Goswell.

"I think he sent me that in 2020. That was a COVID lockdown year and I had a lot of stuff going on. It took me I think nearly about a year to actually get around to sitting down properly and writing it. I kept procrastinating about doing it and then once I'd done it, I was really pleased with it. But I think as a record, there's some great songs on it. I didn't know who else had written with him on this record, I was just really happy to be a part of it. It is quite a broad spectrum musically, and quite eclectic."

UK indiepop duo KARAMELIEN previews 'Digital Imogen' on the dangers of obsessive filtering. New album is out October 27

''A true work of beauty and professionalism, taking you to your very own ascension heights" ~ Amplify Music Magazine
 
"Upbeat, a joyous folk-rock affair... bedecked in kaleidoscopic sixties sparkle, a slight splash of psychedelia and a whole tsunami of charm and grace" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"A hug of soulful indie pop with groove as infectious as its melodic breath and lyrical smile is poetic... seductive captivation" ~ Ringmaster Review


Ahead of releasing their debut album 'Living With The Moon', indie pop-rock duo Karamelien presents their new single 'Digital Imogen', a feisty in tongue-in-cheek warning of the dangers of society's worrying obsession with filtering our own photos on social media.

Based in East Grinstead, Karamelien is singer-songwriter Léanie Kaleido and guitarist Mark Foster - two long-time friends, whose music has forged an even stronger bond between them.

Bassist Lee Pomeroy (ELO, Take That, Rick Wakeman, Yes) also plays on this ballsy tune, giving an appreciative nod to indie goddess Shirley Manson of Garbage, a huge influence on Léanie in the 1990s.

The track was recorded and produced by Ian Caple (Massive Attack, Tricky, Mansun, Tindersticks, Vanessa Paradis). As EMI's in-house engineer back in the day, Ian was privileged to have worked with Kate Bush on her demos (and don't tell anyone but Simon Cowell was allegedly his tea boy back then!)

The track came about when Léanie was thinking about a friend called Imogen and her love of wordplay led her to conjure up Digital Imogen. With social media-fuelled pressure on young people to use filters to change people's features and airbrush impurities, Léanie decided to use this title as a semi-lighthearted protest at this unnerving pressure to look 'cartoon perfect' all the time.

"I once interviewed Shirley from Garbage back in my days as a music journalist, and I always admired her gorgeously unflinching power and attitude. I'm hoping this song has shown that side of me, just a little bit. And Mark Foster's immense guitars have really brought this track to life and given it the balls it needed. He's such a dude!" says Léanie Kaleido.

"Imagine getting so obsessed with your 'perfect', filtered online self that you actually get too scared to even go out any more, in case you're seen as your true self? That's what Digital Imogen is about. Even though the name was inspired by a friend, she's nothing like Digital Imogen - she's a really cool person who doesn't give in to the crappy obsession with changing how we look. We should all be like the real Imogen, not the Digital one."

Mark Foster adds, "We wanted the guitars to sound pretty processed, and a little bit ugly - which I think we achieved! I was definitely channelling the spirit of Sonic Youth, J Mascis, and a host of other beautiful noise-niks on this one".
 
This follows the album's title track 'Living With The Moon' - an upbeat, breezy guitar-driven anthem that gives the musical finger to the armchair critics. At the same time, it addresses coming to terms with the ongoing struggle with mental health and embracing the ups and downs and ebbs and flows of life and all its mysteries.

Earlier, Karamelien released the single 'Wait For Me' featuring piano, mixing and production by Chris Mars (A Flock of Seagulls, Damian Wilson) and two tracks produced by RIDE's Mark Gardener at OX4 Sound Studio - 'Lionhearts' and the epic 'Ascension Heights', which features a guitar sample from Léanie's late father Top Topham (original founding guitarist of The Yardbirds). This particular song also features bassist Mo Pleasure (Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson) and involved Paul Statham (Dido, Simple Minds, Kylie Minogue).

As of October 9, the 'Digital Imogen' single is available on Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The full album, which will be released on October 27, is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp.

BASK Announce 10-Year Anniversary Tour

Bask have taken us on quite a long, strange and headbanging trip. Ten years ago, the band came thundering down from the mountains of North Carolina with their debut album. 'American Hollow' cast their pastoral landscapes in in country-twinged doom, but on the next two albums, the hearty four-piece painted with a headier and heavier brush.

Now that they've got a solid decade under their belts, Bask are ready to keep on trucking. This December, they're touring up and down the East Coast, with three shows around their home state. These guys are no strangers to the open road either. They've toured with everyone from High on Fire and Pallbearer to Guided By Voices, honing their steamrolling riffs and trippy visuals for anyone who's in search of a good vibe.

Bask will play songs from across their wide-ranging discography, including cuts off their most recent release. 'III' was named one of the best records of 2019 by Metal Injection. Stream, download or purchase the album HERE.

Dates
December 9 - Charlotte, NC @ Snug Harbor [TICKETS]
December 10 - Richmond, VA @ Get Tight Lounge [TICKETS]
December 12 - Brooklyn, NY @ Saint Vitus [TICKETS]
December 13 - Boston, MA @ O'Brien's Pub [TICKETS]
December 14 - Philadelphia, PA @ Kung Fu Necktie [TICKETS]
December 15 - Chapel Hill, NC @ Local 506 [TICKETS]
December 16 - Asheville, NC @ Eulogy [TICKETS] *FREE SHOW*

Categorizing musical style often acts as a shortcut.  It allows us to quickly find what we think we’ll like and while defining a band by genre can be a positive for attracting new listeners, these barriers can also be limiting and may hinder our discovery of music that may inspire, embolden and provoke us.  Sometimes categories need to be broken and those limiting genre demarcations need to be shattered so that new musical expressions can emerge without limits.  North Carolina’s Bask is one of those special acts that transcend through even the most detailed categorizations in order to genuinely break new ground and take the listener on a journey of musical discovery that is acutely novel yet also warmly familiar.

Hailing from Carolina’s storied Blue Ridge Mountains, Bask was fully conceived in the fall of 2013 when guitarist Ray Worth, drummer Scott Middleton, bassist Jesse Van Note, and guitarist/vocalist Zeb Camp came together to produce sounds that were properly reflective of the lush yet rugged Appalachian habitat. The band’s newest record, ‘III,’ showcases a soulful juxtaposition of Americana rock ‘n’ roll with progressive and psychedelic elements, separating Bask from your average rock band from the South.

Since forming in 2013, Bask has released two formidable and critically acclaimed full lengths: “American Hollow” (2014) and “Ramble Beyond” (2017). The band has toured North America and Europe with the grammy award-winning HIGH ON FIRE and WEEDEATER, as well as other contemporary genre-challenging acts like PALLBEARER, KAYO DOT, ROYAL THUNDER and BLACK TUSK. The Carolinians have also successfully shared bills with a range of diverse artists, from GUIDED BY VOICES to CARCASS and even REFUSED. They’ve been featured on festivals such as Desert Fest Berlin and London, New England’s RPM Fest, Speedfest in the Netherlands, and Heavy Mountain in Asheville, NC.  

Each song on ‘III’ is inspired by legend, folklore, or mythology, reexamining characters and situations that are often misunderstood, overlooked or requiring deeper introspection. “III” fervently embraces the natural world, the cyclical nature of our human experience, and grapples with the some of the hardships of those events and happenings that make us who we really are.

Bask’s sound has been described as progressive and cinematic, containing glimpses of their native region’s unique tonality and heartfelt heaviness; something they unequivocally prove with ‘III.’ While expertly crafted songs like the incredibly catchy “New Dominion” and the rockin’ “Stone Eyed” present a heavier dynamic from the band, tracks like “Maiden Mother Crone” and “Rid of You” serve up a melancholy elegance that showcases the band’s roots, adding to the record’s vast yet cohesive dimensions. “Noble Daughters II-The Bow” combines heavy groove with accessible classic guitar rock sensibilities and dreamy sonicscapes.  The diversity in the record is cognizant of the band’s wealth of influences and the songs are crafted so intriguingly that the listener is often eagerly awaiting what’s coming next. 

“We just want to play heavy music from the heart.”
Scott Middleton, Bask

From the warm vocals and melodically homespun guitars of the opener “Three White Feet”, ‘III’ is sure to take the listener on an emotional journey through its many peaks and valleys. The record is something you just must hear for yourself to truly grasp both the depths and practicable complexities of Bask.  This is Americana.  This is soul.  And you simply haven’t heard this before.

Line-up:
Jesse Van Note – bass
Scott Middleton – drums
Ray Worth – guitar
Zeb Camp – guitar/vocals

Jed Willis - Pedal Steel on “Maiden Mother Crone”

METAL ALLEGIANCE SET TO ROCK ANAHEIM WITH SPECIAL 10th ANNIVERSARY SHOW ON JANUARY 25TH 2024

METAL ALLEGIANCE began as a celebration of heavy metal, powered by the almost tribal bond shared between the extreme music community’s most revered trailblazers, armed with a list of contributors onstage (and off) that read like a Wikipedia entry on the genre itself. 

On January 25th 2024, the band will re-assemble at The House Of Blues Anaheim for the bands 10th anniversary celebration (which will also coincide with the return of the Winter NAMM show). The night will be sponsored by Dean Guitars, ddrum and Heavys Headphones, with opening acts being Dieth, Held Hostage and QUOR. 
 
The last time Metal Allegiance played at the House of Blues Anaheim was in 2020, right before the world shut down; the show garnered rave reviews, such as North East Rock Review saying "I have attended a couple Metal Allegiance shows over the years and they seem to get better every year. When attending the NAMM show, this is one of the shows not to miss." Additionally, LA Metal Media added, "Metal Allegiance is an incredible coalition of the metal community’s most incredible and notable musicians today; a coalition that pays tribute to some of the best metal music ever written. Be sure to check out this amazing assembly of metal greats if you can whenever they play live."

Metal Hammer raved about one of their past Anaheim shows, "Tonight the mayhem rises exponentially as a platoon of legends descends on the House of Blues – tucked deep in the heart of downtown Disney – even the besieged bar staff pause to witness the carnage.”

“When Metal Allegiance first came together in 2014, no one could have guessed that ten years later, we’d be planning this anniversary show. The world feels different now than it did then, but we’re still here, music still unites and that is cause to celebrate. Among the many MA highlights over the past decade have been our shows in Anaheim, which always create a lot of great memories. This time will be no exception and no better way to mark our ten-year milestone. See you there!” - Alex Skolnick

“I never in my life imagined a band like MA would exist, let alone write and record one record… here we are a few records, an EP and many shows/tours later celebrating our 10th year of existence. Pretty surreal. It’s been a minute since the ‘Core4’ have been in the same room. Excited to see my brothers, jam and laugh w/ them again. Only one place to kick off the festivities and that's our home away from home at the House of Blues in Anaheim Cal-i-forn-i-A.” - Mark Menghi
 
Since the band's inception in 2014, Metal Allegiance is comprised of the core 4 members of (Mark Menghi – bass, songwriter, Alex Skolnick – guitars, David Ellefson – bass, and Mike Portnoy – drums), and has issued two full-lengths (2015's self-titled debut and 2018's Volume II: Power Drunk Majesty) and an EP (2016's Fallen Heroes).

“Metal Allegiance’s annual Anaheim shows are always one of the metal events of the year! This will be our return to Anaheim for the first time since our last show there weeks before the world shut down at the beginning of 2020, so I can’t wait to get back and throw down with my metal brothers and sisters once again! \m/ “ - Mike Portnoy 
 
“It’s hard to believe it's been 10 years since we started Metal Allegiance out on the Motorhead Motorboat Cruise, but here we are, a couple of albums and a whole bunch of shows later, celebrating the strength and resilience of heavy metal together. Looking forward to the show as everything is back in the swing during NAMM 2024!” - David Ellefson
 
“Great to be part of this killer 10-year event with MA. The head-banging doesn't get any better than this!” - Bobby Blitz (Overkill)
 
“I am thrilled to get the band back together for a 10th anniversary Metal Allegiance throwdown! We look forward to another memorable show with all our friends!” - Troy Sanders (Mastodon)

“So stoked to be able to return once again to Metal Allegiance for the 10-year anniversary of the world's foremost collection of metal maniacs, all sharing a stage together! It’s been way too long, I am fired up for this! Bring it on!” - Gary Holt (Exodus / Slayer)

Annie Bosko Debuts "Boots On" and "Neon Baby" Two-Pack

On the heels of a brand new record deal, Grand Ole Opry debut (Sept. 30), dates opening for Tim McGraw and Dwight Yoakam, and with her radio tour well underway, California-native singer/songwriter Annie Bosko brings some neo-traditional twang with 90s throwback flare to the format with her first new music for Benny Brown’s Stone Country Records: “Boots On” and “Neon Baby” are available today. Listen HERE.
 
Working with producers Derek George and Mickey Jack Cones, “Boots On” was written by Bosko and George while “Neon Baby” was penned by Bosko with Jeffrey Steele (Rascal Flatts’ “What Hurts The Most,” Tim McGraw’s “The Cowboy In Me”) and Bridgette Tatum (Jason Aldean’s “She’s Country”).
 
“I’m so excited to release my two-steppin two-pack, ‘Neon Baby’ and ‘Boots On,’” shared Bosko. “When I fell in love with country music as a kid, it went beyond lyrics and melody. It was a sound and a feeling that drew me in. I wanted to try to make music that could give people that feeling. I felt so compelled by this feeling, I drove myself to Nashville at 19 years old to pursue the dream.”
 
Bosko adds, “These songs are fun, flirty, soulful, romantic and retro with a new age spin. I hope folks give it a spin and maybe it will inspire them to take a spin around the dancefloor or their kitchen.”
 
     I’ll be your neon baby
     I’ll drive you midnight crazy
     I’ll hit your lips like whiskey
     When you lean in to kiss me
     Put that whiskey down and kiss me again and again
     Turn me on
     I’ll be your neon, baby
 
With “Boots On,” Bosko re-ignites line-dancing, offering a wild ride of guitar riffs, soaring melodies and let-your-hair-down lyrics, dedicated to women who truly do it all (with their boots on).
 
     Country girls do it with their boots on
     Painted on jeans too tight
     Scootin to a Brooks & Dunn song
     Up for getting down all night
     Love their man like crazy
     While rockin em babies
     Breaking hearts til the break of dawn
     Double shot shootin
     Like there ain't nothin to it
     Country girls do it with their boots on
 
With a “fearless” pure-country sound and edge-of-your-seat songwriting, Bosko captures the full range of this American art form at its best – working with co-writers like Steele, Tatum, Danny Myrick and more to uplift, inspire or just sing along with women everywhere. These tracks are just the first taste of new music from Bosko with more to be released soon.
 
Among recent visits to radio stations across the country, Michelle Buckles from KZSN-Wichita shared, “Annie is such a breath of fresh air! Everyone from every age group just fell in love with her during her station visit,” and of today’s releases she declared, “Your new girls night out anthems have arrived!”
 
Fans can tune in for an in-depth interview and performances from Bosko tonight on RFD TV’s “Live in America!” at 8 pm ET / 7 pm CT with re-airs set for Oct. 6 (same night repeat) at 12 am ET / 11 am CT and Oct. 8 (repeat 2) at 8.30 pm ET / 7:30 pm CT.

About Annie Bosko
With a voice that beams like a ray of California sunshine, Stone Country Records singer-songwriter Annie Bosko pairs a sound anchored deep in the organic twang of ‘90s country with simple songs told from the heart, preaching equal parts healing and honky-tonk hope. A student of legendary crooners like Patsy Cline with added inspiration from Shania Twain, George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, The Beatles and more, the Golden State native broke out in 2014 with the SiriusXM/CMT hit “Crooked Halo,” bucking the bro-country trend for a traditionally flavored anthem that has now amassed more than 3 million streams. She went on to write songs recorded by Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson, tour alongside Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton sell out the famed Troubadour and perform on the Grand Ole Opry and at Ryman Auditorium – the fabled Mother Church of Country Music – while also becoming an in-demand studio musician and earning the title Artist to Watch from Rolling Stone Country. After a series of standout collaborations with country icons Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam and Raul Malo, she is now embracing her true nature for a creative rejuvenation. Working with producers Derek George and Mickey Jack Cones, a new batch of music pairs unapologetic twang, clever wordplay, and deep compassion with her longstanding downhome-diva vocal, capturing the full range of a timeless American art in its purest form. In 2023, Bosko released the powerful-yet-tender ballad “Dandelions” in memory of the victims of Nashville’s Covenant School shooting – a track written alongside Danny Myrick which has now become a beacon of community remembrance and faith. Lost in grief and capturing the reverberating shock of that day’s unfathomable loss, the track has been embraced by the Covenant School families themselves, with all proceeds from being donated for their benefit through ACM Lifting Lives. Looking ahead, Bosko will continue to release sharp-yet-simple, pure-country songs co-written with hit makers like Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum and more, all aimed at uplifting, inspiring or just singing along with women and country-music lovers everywhere.

Coyote Eyes Releases “Lightning Strikes” A Mesmerizing Blend of Acoustic and Orchestral Magic

Coyote Eyes, the musical project led by singer-songwriter, Jo Eubanks, has released her latest single, "Lightning Strikes," today. This new single, penned by Coyote Eyes herself, marks an artistic collaboration with the accomplished musician and producer, Jared Chance Taylor, for the second time. Thematically, "Lightning Strikes" explores the intriguing concept that life's

path may be guided by the belief that "if it's meant to be, it will be," ultimately leaving the course of destiny to fate. The song delves into questions of faith, destiny, and the interplay between preordained destinies and the choices individuals make to shape their own futures.

Coyote Eyes reflects on the dichotomy of life experiences, where some individuals seem to effortlessly navigate life's challenges, enjoying harmonious relationships, successful careers, financial stability, and fulfilling family lives. These individuals, often likened to artists who are "discovered" just by walking down the street or who embark on lifelong love affairs from their first encounter, seem to effortlessly align with the universe. "Lightning Strikes" ponders whether it's easier to have faith or trust in a larger cosmic plan when everything consistently falls into place. Conversely, the song acknowledges those who face greater trials and tribulations, struggling for years to find love or stability, while seemingly encountering closed doors in their pursuit of dreams. "Does that mean that 'the universe' doesn't want them to have all those things? Or that their fate isn't happiness, love, and abundance?" Coyote Eyes wonders.

"Lightning Strikes" originated as a humble composition, featuring Coyote Eyes’ soulful vocals intertwined with the sounds of a piano, exuding a raw and heartfelt acoustic vibe. However, the song evolved into a breathtaking auditory journey, characterized by lush instrumentals, including the incorporation of live strings. Coyote Eyes expressed her personal admiration for the song's beautiful orchestration, which envelops listeners in an emotional and immersive experience. She particularly highlighted Jared Chance Taylor's ingenious use of synthy bass, reminiscent of an '80s romantic drama, as a captivating element in the song's second verse.

MORE INFO:
Coyote Eyes is the dark pop alter ego of New York bred Jo Eubanks, a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. With a hauntingly captivating musical style characterized by lush soundscapes, ethereal vocals, and eerie piano melodies, Coyote Eyes weaves a spellbinding tapestry that is equally tragic and seductive. Coyote Eyes began training to be a classical singer in early childhood, and by 16 she was already capturing label attention for her distinctive, emotionally charged voice which held “the pain of a 30 year old woman inside a child’s body.” However, she felt compelled to break free from the constraints of societal expectations, pushing the

boundaries of her creative authenticity in a world that demanded conformity. In 2018, she emerged as Coyote Eyes, a powerful and enigmatic persona unafraid to delve into the depths of the human experience. In traditional lore, the coyote is the one creature which cannot be categorized; it is an enigma, a dichotomy, a living riddle. As such, Coyote Eyes emerged from her fascination with duality in all its forms, which she explores both sonically and thematically. She performs regularly in both New York City and LA at Rockwood Music Hall, Mercury Lounge, The McKittrick Hotel, Viper Room, and with Breaking Sound and Hunnypot Live.

Toronto's Rising Star Alyssa Rose Hunt Releases Captivating Music Video for "Way Back" from Her Latest Album Magnetic Muse Chapter 1

Toronto-based artist, Alyssa Rose Hunt, has released the official music video for “Way Back,” a track featured on her recently unveiled album, Magnetic Muse Chapter 1. The music video, a visual masterpiece inspired by the pure joy of artistic expression, is a reflection of Alyssa’s passion for her craft. "I wanted it to be a video where I'm having fun singing and dancing to the music. Everytime I hear this song, all I want to do is dance" she says.

For Alyssa Rose Hunt, the creation of the "Way Back" music video was an intensely personal journey. As she sang and danced to the captivating tune, it became a means of self-affirmation amidst the challenges of self-doubt and industry pressures.

Alyssaincorporated an orange themed outfit to initiate the yang energy of the album, and the video was shot in an abandoned warehouse to symbolize bringing the old and new together - much like the theme of Magnetic Muse Chapter 1.

"Way Back" goes beyond its lyrics about a past-life lover; it delves into the profound sensation of meeting someone who feels inexplicably familiar, as if they have crossed your path in a previous existence. These lyrics evoke the longing to understand the purpose of this connection in the present life, and whether destiny has intertwined your paths once more. Alyssa Rose Hunt's music has always been an avenue for genuine self-expression, and "Way Back" is a testament to her unwavering commitment to her artistic path. This captivating music video is a visual celebration of her journey, her music, and the power of self-acceptance.

Being As An Ocean Strive To Find Meaning on Potent New Single "Swallowed By The Earth"

Melodic hardcore luminaries Being As An Ocean have unleashed their inspirational and empowering new single “Swallowed By The Earth”, out now. The track grapples with finding meaning in life’s trials, offering inspiration through its candid lyrics. Listen to the the single HERE and watch the stirring music video featuring live footage below. The single is the second to drop from the band's forthcoming album 'Death Can Wait' due to be released on February 2nd 2024 via Out Of Line Records.

Matching urgent vocals with surging guitars and pummeling drums, “Swallowed By The Earth” provides a sonic lifeline amidst the tumult of life. Lyrically unpacking the search for hope and meaning in times of despair, the single proves Being As An Ocean remain at the forefront of insightful, socially conscious heavy music.

On the motivations behind “Swallowed By The Earth”, the band shares:

“Swallowed By The Earth is a question of how we find meaning and significance in our trials. Do we let them wash over us, consume us, let them defeat us, or do we use them and our failures as tools for growth? It is about keeping persistence of mindset. We must not let ourselves slip into a victim mentality because of our circumstances, which are temporary, but rather, lean into the lessons that each experience has hidden within it. As long as we continue to have faith in a deeper meaning and the untapped strengths that we all have within us and embrace self-reflection, hardship does not have to be earth-shattering, but can become transformative for our souls and character."

Since forming in 2011, Being As An Ocean has cemented themselves at the forefront of alternative music with their raw, earnest songwriting and boundary-pushing sound. Across six studio albums and countless tours, the band has built a devoted following and left an indelible mark through the comfort and strength offered in their inspirational lyrics and emotive musical landscapes. Eleven years after their famous debut album “Dear G-d...”, the Californian band now commences the next chapter of their musical journey with their new album “Death Can Wait”. With this new record, Being As An Ocean drops yet another extremely personal set of songs loaded with pure emotion and continues to push the boundaries of what it means to be a band in the modern music scene.

Tulipomania teams up with the iconic Martyn Ware & Charles Stooke on 'You Had To Be There' Remix

Tulipomania’s unique take on post-punk boasts gritty guitars underpinned by a brooding rhythm section to provide a backdrop for compelling and atmospheric vocals" ~ Louder Than War

"All the hallmarks of fine Cold War electronica: a brain-searing synth line, and an overwhelming sense of claustrophobia and bubbling anxiety" ~ Electronic Sound

"Between post-punk influenced synth pop and lush chamber pop... with visually distinctive videos" ~ WIRE Magazine

"Reverberating, rippling riffs are more soothing and spacious, replicating deep-sea sonar devices and lulling lap steels... mystery-laced lyrics" ~ Big Takeover Magazine


Trust the teller – or the tale – when only fragments exist?
You had to be there… maybe.

Philadelphia-based art-rock duo Tulipomania has teamed up with the legendary Martyn Ware and Charles Stooke on a new remix, along with an intriguing animated music video, featuring lip sync, original footage and vintage found footage – some vibrantly tinted in pastel – all collaged on sheets of black paper, shot frame by frame.

Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 and The Human League fame is otherwise renowned for lifetime achievements in innovative musicianship, including as a record producer for artists such as Tina Turner, Terence Trent D'Arby, Chaka Khan, Erasure and Marc Almond. On this remix, Ware is joined by Charles Stooke, co-composer for the Illustrious Company, which Ware founded with Vince Clark in 2001. Apart from being released digitally, the ‘You Had to Be There (Martyn Ware & Charles Stooke Remix)’ is also be featured on WIRE Magazine’s cover-mounted Wiretapper CD compilation for October.

The animated music video is an official selection at the CutOut Fest International festival of animation and digital art taking place November 16-19 in Querétaro, Mexico.

Alternately categorized as cult synth punks, glam-leaning, post-punk, art-rock and muscular chamber pop, Tulipomania is made up of Tom Murray (lead vocals, synthesizer, electronic percussion) and Cheryl Gelover (synthesizer, background vocals), who first began their collaboration through projects for experimental film and animation classes.  The duo now known as Tulipomania has evolved from those experiences.

Cheryl Gelover notes, “We reached out to Martyn and Charles and were so glad they were interested in remixing the track – they kept the original mood but added additional orchestration – especially in the intro and outro – and took the song’s groove in a totally different direction – which we really love.”

'You Had to Be There' is the first taste of Tulipomania’s album 'Dreaming of Sleep'(out November 17 via Sursumcorda Records). Establishing the conceptual viewpoint of this record – that embracing contradiction invites accountability – the Dada-esque stance channels a hopeful innervating energy. When navigating the morass – trust the teller – or the tale? You had to be there... maybe. Exploring varied states of disintegration and recombination, the accompanying video involves the painstaking assembly of thousands of individual images.

On ‘Dreaming of Sleep’ – their fifth album – Tulipomania immerses themselves fully in electronic means of creation – the exception being a sole accent played on electric guitar. Featuring cover artwork by Michael Speed, senior designer at Beggars Group London, this record involves Executive Producer Howard Thompson, renowned for his contributions as a record industry executive (Elektra, Island, Almo Sounds), having discovered and/or worked with such artists as Adam and the Ants, Billy Bragg, MC5, Mötorhead, PiL, Psychedelic Furs, Robyn Hitchcock, The Sugarcubes, Suicide, among others.

"There has been an overwhelming sense of dread and mistrust obviously brewing for a long time. In the post-Trump post-pandemic now - if it is or ever will be possible to be post either of those cataclysmic events –  I wonder what the future will ask about it all," says Tom Murray.

"I wonder what the future will not understand and want to clarify about the self-serving lies, liars and grifters, and the foolishness of many who were here but not present in any real sense – unable or unwilling to see what was and is happening as everything rolls up to the very well placed few. I don't know what we can tell the future that can make this recent history any clearer. Maybe it is and has always been – and will always be this way. Maybe, you had to be there."

Described as ‘artistic and inventive’ and ‘gorgeous', Tulipomania's animated music videos have been featured in film festivals worldwide. Numerous such festivals have already showcased this new video as an official selection, including the Leeds International Film Festival (UK), StopTrik (Croatia, Poland), AniFilm (Czech Republic), Insomnia (Russia) and Malatesta (Italy) with the Montreal International Animation Film Festival - Animaze awarding it an Honorable Mention.

The pair also recently created two animated music videos - 'Hush' and 'Shock To The Body' - for Cabaret Voltaire co-founder and frontman Stephen Mallinder in support of his solo album 'tick, tick, tick', released last year on Dais Records.

On October 6, 'You Had To Be There (Martyn Ware & Charles Stooke Remix)’ is available everywhere, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. On November 17, the full 'Dreaming of Sleep' album will be released on CD, vinyl and digitally. It can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.

Boys Like Girls Share "THE OUTSIDE (OUTSIDER'S VERSION)" — LISTEN

SONG FEATURES TOURMATES 3OH!3, STATE CHAMPS, THE SUMMER SET, + THE READY SET

BOYS LIKE GIRLS are gearing up to release their first full length album in 11 years, SUNDAY AT FOXWOODS, on October 20, 2023 via Fearless Records.Pre-order it here.

However, they've pivoted by releasing a new version of the song "THE OUTISIDE."

 "THE OUTSIDE (OUTSIDER'S VERSION)" features tourmates 3OH!3, State Champs, The Summer Set, and The Ready Set. Listen below.

It's an arena-sized jam that would sound as awesome billowing throughout as a sold-out stadium as it would from the DJ speakers at a wedding. It will invite you to dance the night away with its huge and harmonized choruses. It's the alt pop band's most rockin' anthem of its new era and you won't be able to escape its hooks.

"Putting together the 'SPEAKING OUR LANGUAGE TOUR' was unlike any other we have ever done," says BLG's Martin Johnson about how this version came to be. "We wanted to personally ask bands we were fans of and friends with to join and create a mini festival experience we would want to watch ourselves. I had written 'THE OUTSIDE' with Sean Foreman from 3OH!3 some years back and loved the idea of making a version with them on it. After booking the tour and becoming friends with Derek [DiScanio] from State Champs, we also talked about doing a feature. So when Brian and I from The Summer Set started texting and Jordan from The Ready Set jumped on a couple shows, we knew what we had to do."

He continues, "Already an underdog anthem dedicated to the music scene we grew up in…'THE OUTSIDE' was the perfect song for a full-on circus version with all the boys. Making this version was one of the most rewarding projects I've ever worked on. Hearing all the different voices, approaches and styles on the same song and puzzle piecing it all together was a massive musical gift. We all enjoyed working with these bands so much and can't wait for you to catch the tour this autumn and hear this new take on the song. We're BOYS LIKE GIRLS and this is 'THE OUTSIDE (OUTSIDERS VERSION),' featuring 3OH!3, STATE CHAMPS, THE SUMMER SET and THE READY SET."
