SWOLLEN TEETH Unleash Emotionally Charged New Single "Family"

Emerging metal force Swollen Teeth have returned with their brand new single, "Family," (out now via Blowed Out Records) marking a bold new chapter following their explosive 2021 debut, their self-titled EP. Once again produced by Slipknot's Sid Wilson and legendary producer Ross Robinson, "Family" continues the band's trajectory of pushing boundaries within the heavy music landscape. Listen to "Family" here and watch the official music video below.

"New flowers bloom only once the wilted return to soil. This is our way of saying WELCOME to the world. FAMILY," Swollen Teeth shares, encapsulating the essence of their new release—a powerful anthem of unity, rebirth, and the strength found in embracing one's chosen family. The single carries forward the intensity of their debut, offering a cathartic experience for listeners and reinforcing the band's message of creating a space for those who feel cast aside.

Sid Wilson, who has been a guiding force in the band's sound adds, "Swollen Teeth, horns down movement. A safe space created to express and shed your feelings, and become a new, better version of yourself for your Family."

With Ross Robinson, expressing his admiration for the band, stating, “‘Family’ showcases the incredible empathy these guys possess. Their main concern is to be a place of safety and home for the ones who are or just feel thrown away. ST is a killer band with an amazing reason for ripping sick jams, I love that so much!”

Swollen Teeth burst onto the scene in 2021 with their self-titled EP, a visceral blend of brutality and raw emotion that garnered praise from heavy music outlets and fans alike. Singles "EMPTY", "LETHAL" "CAR CRASH" and "SWOLLENTEETH" showcased their unpredictable, frenetic energy, which Revolver Magazine described as "brutal as hell." with Metal Hammer enthusing that "there’s an air of grotesque nu metal nastiness that feels like a re-vamped take on the misanthropic nihilism of Iowa’s finest." and Kerrang! musing "What's really heavy, masked, mysterious, sounds like it was made by complete lunatics, and involves Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson and producer Ross Robinson?." "Family" builds on the foundations laid by their 2021 EP, bringing forth a sound that is both more refined and more intense. The track captures Swollen Teeth's unique blend of aggressive riffs, gut-wrenching vocals, and atmospheric elements, creating a soundscape that is as haunting as it is empowering. With "Family," Swollen Teeth invite listeners to join their journey, offering a sanctuary where raw emotion and collective strength thrive.

Swollen Teeth will take the stage at Knotfest Iowa this weekend, bringing the ferocity of "Family" to life in a performance that promises to be as unforgettable as their studio work. Fans can expect a high-octane show that captures the band's ethos of unity and raw power. Information and tickets are available HERE.

ABOUT SWOLLEN TEETH

The sound, the look, the atmosphere, the lore. Swollen Teeth are as much a ritual as a performance, summoning primal ferocity in clouds of intrigue with a thundering rumble. Each musical outburst arrives shrouded in mystery, enveloped by a sense of dread, with passion and purpose. Heavy percussion, riffs, punk gang chants, dive bombs, turntables, breakdowns, shrieks, guttural screams, and powerfully unashamed anthemic melodies coalesce in Swollen Teeth. The collective absorbs the raw intensity of the most potent subculture and spits it back with a determined uniqueness. They’ve spent countless hours in the lab, lobbing out occasional missives online like Molotov cocktails. Each of the scattered, chopped up, and explosive clips unleashed to the world, culled from a handful of shadowy live appearances, built anticipation for the group’s inevitable ascension. They travel in our dimension but are not of it. This is otherworldly chaos without apology. /W\

Reuniting after 30+ years, NYC-based CRASH HARMONY shares 'Orange Background' from immutable debut album

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


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

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

"This is one of our earliest songs.  I always thought it had a kind of feeling that is reminiscent and wistful; we tried to evoke that feeling with ebow guitar parts," says Mike Potenza.

Nils Nadeau elaborates, "'Orange Background' is a letter from our college selves to our grown selves and also, in a way, from Generation X to what we have now in the world. It’s also the only one, played back, that might have made me wet-eyed for a minute".

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

Dave went on to The Dambuilders (and then Gramercy Arms), Mike served on The Anderson Council, Jon left for Europe, and Nils wandered north. But no matter where they went, Crash Harmony still kind of mattered. Eventually, they had to come back. They had to return to that place so, decades later, Crash Harmony reformed to make a new record of old songs - a rock-and-roll reenactment of the New Haven scene that changed them forever.

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

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

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

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

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

As of September 18, 'Orange Background' will be available exclusively via Bandcamp and officially released everywhere else, including Apple Music and Spotify on September 24. The full album 'No One Asked for This' (out October 18 on vinyl or digitally) can already be pre-ordered via Bandcamp.

Defiled Premiere 'Horror Beyond Horror'

For the past three decades, Defiled have kept their blade sharp. Ever since Tokyo's underground lost their minds over the band's grotesque arsenal of finishing moves, Yusuke Sumita and his death metal samurai set off on a war path that's left nothing but inevitable ruin in their raw wake. They've ransacked Milwaukee Metal Festival and joined forces with their fellow legends in Mayhem, Incantation, Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse.   

Having now churned out three albums in almost as many years, metalheads can be forgiven for believing that Defiled had already reached the highest level. But the Japanese legends have topped themselves again on their eighth album. Horror Beyond Horror comes out this Friday, September 20, but you can hear all 14 slicing and dicing songs today by listening to the full album stream on Season of Mist's YouTube channel. 

Listen to Horror Beyond Horror below.

Pre-order & Stream

After they first took to the stage in 1995, Defiled needed nearly a decade before finally erupting with wrath on their debut album. But ever since the band’s lineup solidified around original member Yusuke Sumita, they haven’t stopped to look back and admire all the ugliness they've revealed. Horror Beyond Horror comes hot on the heels of the album they released just last year, which Metal Injection listed as one of the can’t-miss releases of 2023.

Like a poisonous dart, Defiled come shooting out of the shadows on Horror Beyond Horror. Blast beats pummel at unforeseen angles amidst "Smoke and Mirrors". “Every lie has been revealed”, fearless frontman Shinichiro Hamada shouts, taking aim at perpetual frauds and tyrannical technocrats. The band charges into the pit behind bassist Takachika Nakajima's greasy groove, which is snapping plenty of necks on their current Japanese tour. 

"We wanted this album to be natural and realistic", Sumita told New Noise. "We did not use any editing or artificial techniques in the recording process". 

With 30 years and eight albums under their belt, Defiled know where to stick the blade on Horror Beyond Horror. The album's title track shreds through the corrupted torment of mind control with riffs that are honed from the jagged influence of ’80s thrash and hardcore. “The time has come”, the band spit at their captors with utter disgust. “Death strikes you with derision”. 

Defiled aren't afraid to crack open people's skulls, either. Horror Beyond Horror descends deeper and deeper into the psychological shadows the further you go down the track list. "Syndicate" conspires around a greasy, pit-dwelling breakdown but drummer Keisuke Hamada never stops chopping up the tempo. “The path to your elimination”, Shinichiro Hamada cries, digging in amidst a flurry of blast beats during the album's final boss "To See Behind the Wall". Whether they’re slicing, dicing or leaping into a furiously fast solo, the band's riffs take no prisoners.

"We still love death metal and are very proud to be recognized as a death metal band", Sumita tells Antichrist Magazine. "At the same time, it's clear from our songs that we do not follow trends. Who would be interested in a Japanese bands that follows Western trends? We have our own perspective, and we have been going our own way for many years now, and we are convinced that we are on the right path".   

On Horror Beyond Horror, Defiled unleash the kind of old-school ass-kicking that only true masters can deliver.

With a sound as raw as exposed nerve endings and as unrefined as a mass grave, Defiled stands defiantly apart from the polished poseurs and shameless sellouts. They don’t peddle in cheap gimmickry or nostalgia; they deal in the currency of pure, unfiltered destruction. As they look out upon the charred landscape of the genre they’ve helped to define, Defiled is not content to rest on their laurels. Horror Beyond Horror sees them, once again, ascending to the blood-soaked throne of death metal sovereignty.

Plain White T's Share Remix of Billion-Streaming Smash Hit "Hey There Delilah"

PLAIN WHITE T'S — Tom Higgenson [vocals], Tim Lopez [lead guitar, vocals],Mike Retondo [bass], and De'Mar Hamilton [drums] — have shared the RJ Pasin remix of their billion-streaming, platinum smash hit "Hey There Delilah." Watch + listen below. 

The song was originally released back in 2006 and it remains a beloved song among fans and beyond.

Many remixes can be subtle. Not so with the RJ Pasin remix if the platinum hit "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White Ts. The remix adds a little twang, as well as some beats and blips, giving the billion streaming, heartfelt song an unexpected refresh for 2024. Things escalate and get unexpectedly noisier and louder towards the latter half of the song. It's a testament to the songwriting, since the song lends itself to this reworking, which call out all of the many beautiful moments of the song. 

"I love RJ Pasin's reimagining of 'Hey There Delilah,'" says Higgenson. "So much energy, and a totally different spin on the song. It's so cool."

Pasin concurs, "My remix of 'Hey There Delilah' was a fun way to incorporate modern production and guitar composition into such a timeless classic."

The band's latest release, their self-titled album, is out now via Fearless Records. Get it here. 

Plain White T's are on the road this fall. They are supporting The Used through September and October. All upcoming PWTs dates are below.

10TH CAREER #1: DUSTIN LYNCH REIGNS WITH JELLY ROLL COLLABORATION “CHEVROLET”

MULTI-PLATINUM star Dustin Lynch marks a career milestone by achieving his 10th #1 with current single “Chevrolet” via Broken Bow Records. Featuring his BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville labelmate Jelly Roll, “Chevrolet” reigns the Billboard Country Airplay chart and the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart in the U.S. this week, in addition to reaching #1 at Canadian Country Radio. It also hit #1 on Australia’s Countrytown Hot 50 Country Airplay chart powered by Radio Monitor at the end of July (week 30). The chart-ruler has racked up over 110 MILLION on-demand streams to date.

“Reaching my 10th #1 is a milestone we are so proud of and grateful for. I feel extra blessed to be able to share this one with my buddy Jelly,” shares Lynch. “This is a true testament to the overwhelming support from my fans who have become family over the past 12 years. Also, to my Broken Bow Records fam and Country radio friends, alongside my team, band, crew, and collaborators – I couldn’t have done any of this without y’all. You are the best of the best. Here’s to the next 10!”

Turning the ignition on a forever-young kind of freedom, “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” – written by Chase McGill, Jessi Alexander, Hunter Phelps, and Mentor Williams – is proof of Country music’s unique ability to summon a picture, a mood, and especially a memory with the instantly recognizable throwback melody of the 1973 Dobie Gray hit “Drift Away.” Further providing a timeless soundtrack to an underdog love story, watch the Mason Dixon-directed music video here. Delivered on Lynch’s statement-making sixth studio album, Killed The Cowboy, “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” was co-produced by Zach Crowell and Ben Phillips. 

As one of the most successful, recognizable, and dependable faces in Country music since releasing his breakout debut album in 2012, Lynch has previously ruled the #1 spot with his history-making 2X PLATINUM, six-week #1 “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter),” in addition to “Stars Like Confetti,” PLATINUM, two-week #1 “Ridin’ Roads,” PLATINUM “Good Girl,” 3X PLATINUM, four-week #1 “Small Town Boy,” GOLD “Seein’ Red,” GOLD “Mind Reader,” GOLD “Hell of a Night,” and PLATINUM “Where It’s At.”

Adding to his list of landmark achievements, Lynch has an upcoming bucket list billing headlining DUSTIN LYNCH – LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE in Morrison, CO, on November 6. Presented by Coors Banquet, a percentage of the ticket proceeds will benefit the Wildland Firefighter Foundation (WFF). Since 2014, Coors Banquet has donated more than $2 MILLION to the WFF. Playing to over 4 MILLION fans spanning five headline runs, the Grand Ole Opry member has hosted his own see-and-be-seen pool parties in Mexico, Las Vegas, NV, Nashville, TN, and Lake Ozark, MO, and toured with Country’s biggest names like Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley, and Kane Brown. Full ticketing details for DUSTIN LYNCH – LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE can be found here.

ABOUT DUSTIN LYNCH:
Dustin Lynch has "built one of the most consistent recording careers in modern country music” (Billboard), achieving 10 #1s; four Top 5 albums; 10 GOLD, PLATINUM, and MULTI-PLATINUM certified singles; and tallying over 4.4 BILLION cumulative global streams. His sixth studio album Killed The Cowboy (Broken Bow Records), featuring #1 “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll),” is currently making a statement. The follow-up to Blue In The Sky, which delivered the history-making 2X PLATINUM, six-week #1 “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter)” – the most-played song at Country radio in 2022 landing at #1 on the Mediabase and #2 on the Billboard Year-End Country Airplay charts – also featured hit singles: #1 “Stars Like Confetti” and “Party Mode.” Lynch has headlined packed venues to sold-out crowds like his latest KILLED THE COWBOY TOUR, in addition to touring with Country’s biggest names including Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley, and Blake Shelton. Since his PLATINUM breakout “Cowboys and Angels” in 2012, the Tennessee native has earned industry recognition as a Grand Ole Opry member, as well as high-profile nominations for the Academy of Country Music Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards, and CMT Music Awards.

Ashton Nyte shares The Awakening's new single 'Mirror Midnight' (from 12th album) ahead of EU-UK tour

Gothic Rock / Darkwave act The Awakening shares their new single 'Mirror Midnight', which underscores historical tendency towards self-obsession and the media's recurring manipulation of self-perception. This is the first taste of their self-titled album (their 12th to date), which will be released on October 18 via Intervention Arts.

Now based in the USA, The Awakening is a dark musical project formed in Johannesburg, South Africa in the late ’90s as the creative expression of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ashton Nyte, who was anointed as "Johannesburg's Bowie" for his widely varying musical styles and theatrical performances. Having morphed over the years, The Awakening's sound incorporates numerous genres, including gothic rock, darkwave, post-punk, electronic rock, folk noir, new wave and more.

Also an author, actor and Renaissance man of sorts, Ashton Nyte created the 'Mirror Midnight' video, shot in his preferred black-and-white format, with a gothic noir film treatment.

"Mirror Midnight is about the obsession of the self, as guided and fed and manipulated by mass media, social media and the endless flood of information and disinformation we all deal with constantly. It's the juxtaposition of succumbing to insidious and divisive marketing while the world goes up in flames. And how that cycle feeds itself. It's a story almost as old as time, like the fairy tale it alludes to," says Ashton Nyte.

'The Awakening' album follows Nyte's second book and eighth solo album 'Autumn's Children', which was selected as one of American Songwriter's Top 17 Albums of 2023. This new album is a celebration of the band's roots and influences. "Essentially, I fell in love all over again with the bands and albums that made me want to create this sort of art in the first place. It was a true joy to create this work," says Ashton Nyte.

"The last two Awakening albums were departures for me. 'This Alchemy' (2021) explored the more electronic side of my musical personality, and 'The Passage Remains' (2022) effectively cleared out the vaults of unreleased heavier material. It feels like it's time to come home."

A core contributor to LA-based supergroup Beauty In Chaos, having been involved with every album released to date, Nyte has collaborated with members of The Cure, The Mission, Tricky, All About Eve, as well as Peter Murphy's band. 2024 also saw Nyte involved in the latest Beauty In Chaos album 'Dancing With Angels'.

Having toured extensively and headlined music festivals in the USA, Europe, and South Africa to upwards of 30,000 people, Nyte has also written and performed in theatrical productions and hosted philanthropic events, including his “Rock Against Rape” concert series. He has also presented a lecture series at US universities focusing on tolerance and acceptance.

With a catalogue of over 300 released original songs, Ashton Nyte and The Awakening have enjoyed airplay and chart success on radio stations worldwide, with songs also featured in popular television shows, such as 'Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin' and 'The Purge'. Nyte has contributed to several scores, working with composer Ethan Gold for the movie 'Don't Let Go' (premiering at the Sundance Film Festival) and for the movie 'Pale Horse', directed by the late Pearry Teo.

As of September 4, 'Mirror Midnight' can be downloaded from fine music platforms. 'The Awakening' album, now available for pre-order, will be released on vinyl, CD, digitally and various limited-edition formats.

From the end of September, EU and UK fans can hear the new material live in a career-spanning solo acoustic tour later this year. This will be Nyte's first post-Covid tour, following a 36-date EU tour with The Mission's Wayne Hussey in 2019. Tickets are available via The Awakening's official site.

Singer/Songwriter Julie Williams Releases "reckless road"; 'Tennessee Moon' EP Set for 10/17

CMT Next Women of Country artist Julie Williams, known for her soulful lyrics and authentic storytelling, is continuing to draw in listeners with her deep connection to nature and emotion. Her latest release, “reckless road,” perfectly timed with today’s Full Corn Moon, follows recent release ‘just friends?”, which dropped on the rare Sturgeon Blue Moon last month. Both songs align with the full moon phases, as outlined by the Farmers' Almanac. Fitting as she continues to build momentum to the release of her new EP, Tennessee Moon, available Oct. 17, 2024 on the Hunter's Moon.  
 
Produced by Jonathan Smalt and written by Williams with Melody Walker, the uptempo “reckless road” is the second release from her upcoming EP. Listen to “reckless road” Below and pre-save Tennessee Moon HERE.  
 
“I wrote this song about falling for someone who was always looking over their shoulder. Someone who could never stay still for too long and always had their mind on the highway. I wanted to join them on their journey, but they could never quite let me in,” shares Williams. “The more I tried, the farther they ran. Inspired by the 90s country songs I grew up listening to, I wanted a song that I could blast out the window driving down a two-lane mountain highway with my friends and scream so loud that I'd forget that ex who did me wrong.”
 
The 90s-country inspired tune finds Williams reflecting on a lover who is constantly running and chasing something they will never find. A dancing banjo, acoustic guitar, pedal steel and classic-country style drums combine for a song that could be found on either country, Americana, or indie folk playlists. 

Williams is also set to return to AmericanaFest this week with an Official AmericanaFest Showcase on Sept. 21, as well as participating in A Tribute to the Songs of 1974 on Sept. 20. For more information visit americanamusic.org. Her Tennessee Moon Tour in support of the upcoming indie folk project will trek across the Midwest and East Coast with stops in New York, Columbus, Chicago, Philadelphia, Nashville, and more. Tickets for the tour are available now at thisisjuliewilliams.com. 
 
No stranger to the road, Williams has built her career there playing over 120 shows in 26 states in the past two years and captivated audiences at festivals such as Newport Folk Festival, CMA Fest, Tortuga Music Fest, High Water Festival, Cayamo, and AmericanaFest. She has also shared the stage with acts across genres, including Jason Isbell, Allison Russell, Mt. Joy, Devon Gilfillian, Brittney Spencer and Will Hoge.
 
Williams carries her mixed-race heritage and queerness as proudly as she carries her music. Raised in Florida, the singer/songwriter has been turning heads in Nashville’s country and Americana music scenes with her compelling mix of storytelling, soft-yet-powerful vocals, and indie folk production. That creative path is on full display with “just friends?” available now.  The song, a blend of both classic country storytelling and queer reflection, was the first taste of new music from her new EP. The video for the track, which just made its world premiere in Times Square last week via CMT, is a nostalgic, queer story that captures both the sadness and innocence of what romantic feelings for an old friend might have looked like. Watch the video for “just friends?” HERE, listen to “just friends?” HERE. 
 
Music has always been a part of Williams’ life - honing her singing talent in church and beach bars and belting national anthems before packed stadiums. She grew up listening to everyone and everything from The Chicks and James Taylor to Gladys Knight and Michael Jackson. Even though she was drawn to the storytelling of country music, she never quite found the sound that spoke to everything she was: Black, white, Southern, a woman, hopeful, truthful. So naturally, it was up to Williams to make this sound. “My music is mixed like me,” is how she describes it, “I want to tell the stories that need to be told.”

For Tennessee Moon Williams was inspired by some of her favorite singer/songwriters like Boy Genius, Kacey Musgraves, Allison Krauss, Emmylou Harris and Taylor Swift to create a story-driven sonic journey that was both dreamy and moody while seamlessly blending country, 90s folk and indie production elements.
 
“Tennessee Moon was inspired by a picture that I took of one of my exes as they kayaked at Percy Priest Lake under a stunning Tennessee sunset,” shares Williams. “I watched this person - and our relationship - float farther and farther away from me, just as the sky was fading from orange and red to blue and gray. With that picture, and with this EP, I wanted to capture that wistful feeling - of trying to hold onto a beautiful, golden moment that you know in your heart is not going to last. This EP is an ode to my mid-20s - all the golden days, the dark nights, the flowers, and the dirt.”
 
The Florida native started sharing those stories, and people listened. A student at Duke University, she was signed to Small Town Records whose alumni include Mike Posner and Delta Rae and sang as a vocalist for the Duke Jazz Ensemble. After graduating with a public policy degree in 2019, she moved to Nashville and found her musical home in the Black country and Americana scene. She was named in Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Class of 2021 and she was featured in a “PBS NewsHour” special on Black women in country music. In 2022, Julie joined the Black Opry, a collective of Black artists in country, blues, folk, and Americana music. Julie was named a CMT Equal Access artist in 2023, joining the mTheory backed program to support marginalized voices in country music.
 
“People want to hear black voices, black stories,” Williams says. “I was nervous about how my songs would be received by Nashville - but people want honesty. They want honest songs about real life, and for the artists they follow to take a stand.”
 
Tennessee Moon follows her self-titled EP, Julie Williams, with American Songwriter praising her “success through the power of her own voice” and the Tennessean noting she “discovers joy, maturation” on the project. 
 
An activist at heart, Williams launched Green Room Conversations in March 2023, a series of performances and speaking on college campuses to raise awareness of sexual harassment in the music industry and her own experience with sexual violence. Williams hopes to empower the next generation of artists and industry changemakers and has already visited MTSU, University of Texas-Austin, and Duke with more campus visits planned for later this year.
 
“I’m writing my songs for the girl who cries in the shower as she tries to detangle her hair and is afraid to look in the mirror because she hates what she sees; for the 17-year-old who is just now learning to love herself; for the 20-or 30-something who is just trying to figure it out," shares Williams. "That’s who my songs are for.”

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 and Off The Rails tour mates Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, as the superstar headlines across the U.S. through October 2024.

ABOUT TRIVIUM:
Trivium's critically acclaimed tenth album In The Court Of The Dragon arrived in 2021. The band and album were praised by and featured in mainstream outlets like The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Billboard, TechCrunch, and Kotaku, as well as Guitar World, Revolver, Alternative Press, and more. They released the now-canonical album Ascendancy in 2005. It was recognized as KERRANG!'s "Album of the Year," achieved a gold certification in the UK, and eclipsed sales of 500,000 worldwide. Metal Hammer placed it in the Top 15 of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of the 21st Century." It ignited a string of six consecutive Top 25 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and five straight Top 3 debuts on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart, culminating on 2017's benchmark The Sin And The Sentence. That album elevated the group's total stream tally past a quarter-of-a-billion. Additionally, "Betrayer" received a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of "Best Metal Performance." Unanimous acclaim followed from Decibel, Loudwire, Ultimate Guitar, MetalSucks, and Metal Hammer, who dubbed them, "quite simply one of the best bands in modern metal." 2020 brought What The Dead Men Say. The album was produced by Trivium and Josh Wilbur and debuted at #35 on the Billboard Top 200; at #2 on the Top Current Albums Chart, and at  #3 on both the Hard Rock Albums Chart and Top Rock Albums Chart. They have performed alongside Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and many others and graced the main stages of Download, Bloodstock, KNOTFEST, and beyond.

ABOUT BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE:
Bullet For My Valentine has been a mainstay, not just in the metal community, but within British music as a whole since their inception. From experiencing early success with Fever and Scream Aim Fire to continuing to encapsulate audiences with Gravity & 2021's self-titled album, the band has consistently gone from strength to strength, amassing over 3.5 million album sales to  date whilst playing sold-out shows across the globe. It’s the band’s first album, however; 2005's The Poison, that propelled them to unimaginable heights. That year saw the Welsh metallers graduate from supporting Funeral For A Friend on their UK run in the summer, to  ending the year headlining the very same venues just months later. Dropping in October 2005,  The Poison hit number 21 in the UK album charts, becoming a late contender in end of year  polls, placing at number seven on KERRANG!'s "Albums Of The Year" list, and since achieving  gold status. Therefore in 2025, Bullet will be celebrating 20 years of The Poison by partnering with fellow heavy metal contemporaries Trivium and bringing The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour to life, where both acts will perform their iconic debut albums, playing them in full for the last time to audiences worldwide.

Thy Catafalque Feast on New Single "Mindenevő"

"...yet another testament to the musical genius of Tamás Kátai" - No Clean Singing

"Few musicians have as long and varied a career as Tamás Kátai of Thy Catafalque" - Angry Metal Guy

"Thy Catafalque are a one of a kind experiment that have never played by traditional rules or boundaries" - New Noise

"A monstrously entertaining, tightly diverse band" - Everying Is Noise

"...will delight metlaheads of all stripes" - Echoes and Dust

Even during its initial gestation period, Thy Catafalque had already expanded beyond the perceived limits of extreme metal. With each album, Tamás Kátai and his band of collaborators have taken another step beyond the genre's boundaries, bringing the world's most vile art form into conversation with the avant-garde.

There's still a light at the end of Thy Catafalque's upcoming twelfth album. But as Kátai winds through its introspective journey into the night, XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek revisits the all-consuming heaviness that courses back through the project's 20-year history. While garnished with plenty of classical flourishes, its meaty new single "Mindenevő" growls like the belly of a metallic beast. 

Feast your eyes on the video for  "Mindenevő" Below.

XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek comes out November 15, 2024 on Season of Mist.  

Pre-order & Pre-save

https://orcd.co/thycatafalquexiiagyonyorualmokezutanjonnek

A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek is still guided by the dreaminess that fans in and outside of Hungary have come to admire about Thy Catafalque. After all, in English, the album's title translates to 'The Beautiful Dreams Are Yet to Come'. "I imagined these songs as a journey into the night", Kátai says. Finding his way along this path required him to head in a different direction - at least, as far as the production goes. The dark waves of synth that streak through the album's title track and lead single glow with the faint but familiar reassurance of the dawn.      

Still, journeying through A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek can be a rocky road. While the latest single opens with a plucking oud, "Mindenevő" is a full bore feast for bloodthirsty metalheads. The insatiable blast beats and tongue-flicking tremolo picking are cooked over the same blackened fires as Thy Catafalque's 1999 debut. "Our last album, Alföld, was very bleak", Kátai explains. "Adding classical and acoustic instruments helped add a sprig of color to these new songs, but XII still has plenty of metal". 

Even the progressive flourishes feed the song's sickening theme. A fretless bass waltzes into the room just as the video's dinner party succumbs to their insatiable appetite for destruction. "Blood and fat shall course through every vein", chants a doomy operatic chorus. "We devour everything around us", Kátai says when asked about the philosophical musings that greased the wheels of "Mindenevő" (which means "Omnivore"). "It's absurd. The way we consume everything in our path only leads us closer to our demise".

In the end, the engorged death metal riffs finally eat their fill. Yet as the beastly "Mindenevő" lays to rest amidst a thick delirium of clarinet and French horn, the feeling that's left churning in the pit of your stomach is pure, unfiltered dread. 

"Human beings do have an animal side", Kátai says. "Even though some of us strive for purity, in the end, we have to recognize and accept the morbidity of nature".  

The video for "Mindenevő" was created by G13 Film.

New fans and long-time appreciators can now rediscover just how much Thy Catafalque has grown since their humble beginnings as a duo. This year, Season of Mist re-issued Thy Catafalque's first seven albums.

These reissues include first-edition pressings, limited color vinyls, UV-prints, 3D etchings and new artwork, plus bonus tracks.  

Order:https://redirect.season-of-mist.com/ThyCatafalqueReissues

Thy Catafalque's twelfth album looks back longingly at the past, Tamás Kátai isn't stopping to smell the roses. With A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek, he shows that the beautiful dreams are yet to come.

Billy Morrison, Corey Taylor & Steve Vai Save the World from Corporate Greed in New Animated Video ​

Iconic rock musicians Billy Morrison, Corey Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour), and legendary guitarist Steve Vai have teamed up to unleash their latest single and music video, "Incite The Watch." This dynamic release is the fifth single from Billy Morrison’s recently launched solo album, The Morrison Project, available now through TLG | ZOID | Virgin Music Group.

This single follows Morrison's release, "Crack Cocaine," a riveting collaboration with legendary icons Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens that skyrocketed into the nation’s top of the Active Rock Mediabase chart at #1 earlier this year.

 STREAM "Incite the Watch" here: https://ffm.to/tmp-incite-the-watch

Directed by Brett Boggs, known for his work on several Disney films, the video paints a vivid picture of a dystopian Los Angeles. In this alternate reality, society has been overtaken by an oppressive, conformist regime that has outlawed rock and roll, free expression, and all forms of individuality. The city scape is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, with shattered buildings, burning cars, and the remnants of crushed rebellions.

WATCH Billy Morrison, Corey Taylor, Steve Vai - "Incite The Watch" below:

The album is available digitally HERE

“Incite The Watch” was created utilizing a combination of traditional artist drawn and animated characters and designs, with concept driven AI imagery using a new cutting edge application called CineTech. This was done by inputing the script into CineTech which broke it down into individual scene descriptions. Detailed prompts were then input based on the scene descriptions to create background images for each scene which could then be further enhanced to generate the desired appearance. After this was achieved, hand drawn storyboards were uploaded into CineTech which were integrated into the enhanced prompts to achieve the exact imagery needed. Once those images were achieved, CineTech’s ShotSheets feature combined those images into organized PDF files. The files were uploaded into RunwayML to animate and enahce the images and finally input into DaVinci Resolve for final touches, grading, and visual effects. Using CineTech allowed for the creation of a visually compelling product on a shorter timeline without sacrificing quality.

“Billy and I have known each other for so many years and we’ve done many performances together, it was only a matter of time before we put together something original and fascinating. Alternatively, I’ve been a Steve Vai fan since I was 15, and never thought I’d ever get the chance to do something amazing with him. Enter the great Billy Morrison who got both Steve and I on INCITE THE WATCH! I’m so stoked to be a part of this album with so many great artists and I can’t wait to see what happens next.”

--Corey Taylor

“Billy Morrison is always getting into some kind of intense and creative musical mischief, and this record is the evidence of that. When he sent me the track “INCITE” I was very eager to contribute to it. It is slamming and crushing, and the energy of the track is palpable. It’s nice to be part of his mischief.”

--Steve Vai

“The combination of Corey Taylor and Steve Vai on a Billy Morrison song is insanely exciting for me! This track started life as a piano riff from Erik Eldenius and once we had Corey’s fantastic vocal on the song, there was only one man we wanted to tackle the three key change extra long solo section—and luckily Steve said yes!”

“Incite really feels like an opus—

a journey. It twists and turns, hits some unexpected changes and sections and resolves into modern rock heaviness and I am extremely proud that the end result appears on The Morrison Project.”

--Billy Morrison

All Time Low + I Prevail Collaborate for "Hate This Song"

Two pillars of their respective genres — alt pop royalty ALL TIME LOW and hard rock titans I PREVAIL — collide on the brand new single "Hate This Song." It's an absolutely epic collab track that combines the best of both bands' sounds and worlds.

Listen below. 

On paper and in theory, All Time Low and I Prevail might seem like an odd pairing, but the execution is utterly flawless.

"Hate This Song" combines ATL's effervescent, three-chord charm and knack for melody with I Prevail's dueling vocals and riffy snarl. "Hate This Song" is a modern breakup track that highlights how music is the universal love language with which we communicate. With its triple vocal attack, catchier-than-a-cold chorus, and moshy breakdown, both fan bases are going to LOVE this song.

"'Hate This Song' has been waiting patiently in the wings since the release of our last full-length Tell Me I’m Alive," says ATL's Alex Gaskarth. "It was an opportunity to explore something kind of cheeky and different with a band we have a ton of respect for at the top of their game. The I Prevail guys brought their signature weight to the song and transformed it into something wonderfully unexpected and I see our bands coming together as the two sides of a coin dropping into the jukebox that's about to spin this song over and over again."

"A while back we were hit up by this little band called All Time Low," says I Prevail's Eric Vanlerberghe. "They sent us a track that they wrote and asked if we could spice it up a bit. We said absolutely and went to work. So happy to have this track out — finally — and to be the first ones to put a blast beat on an ATL song."

ABOUT ALL TIME LOW:
All Time Low's journey from high school friends in Baltimore to an internationally recognized act is a testament to their talent, dedication, and the strong connection they have built with their audience over the years. They have undeniably, albeit unassumingly, carved out their own corner of popular culture. All Time Low's catalog consists of five consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard Top 200 in addition to picking up multi-platinum, platinum, and gold certifications. Speaking to their impact, Rolling Stone included the band's So Wrong, It's Right LP in their 50 Greatest Pop-Punk Albums, coming in at #20, alongside albums from Bad Religion, Green Day, and The Descendants. Their single "Monsters (ft. blackbear)" clinched #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart for an unprecedented 18 weeks, emerging as the longest charting song ever at the Modern Rock format.

ABOUT I PREVAIL:
I Prevail have established themselves as the forerunners of the genre in the 21st century. Their latest release TRUE POWER, once again produced by Tyler Smyth, features the sort of stadium-sized riffs that will rattle your teeth loose from your gums and unforgettable, supremely catchy melodies that will camp out in your brain for weeks at a time. The band also alternately mixes screamed vocals that sound as though they crawled from the depths of hell with soaring, emotional vocals and heartfelt, intimate lyrics that go so deep, they hit marrow. The end result is an album that resonates with the listener in the most personal way. Rising to an arena level and receiving two Grammy nominations — Best Rock Album for Trauma and Best Metal Performance for crushing lead single "Bow Down" — I Prevail proved that they were built to last. To date, they've racked up more than 4.2 billion global streams, are approaching 755 million YouTube views, and saw both "Hurricane" and "Bad Things" singles top Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in 2020 and 2022 respectively. A number of their singles and album Lifelines have now been certified Gold and Platinum, and they have been praised by press far and wide, including Forbes, Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Playboy, and NPR. I Prevail have affirmed their position among the genre's elite.

Tape Room Music Celebrates 50 No. 1 Hits

Tape Room Music celebrates their 50th No. 1 hit as “Chevrolet” tops the charts at Country radio, co-written by Hunter Phelps. Maintaining their consistency in airplay chart success, Tape Room’s 50 No. 1 singles are in addition to founder Ashley Gorley’s 75+ chart-topping tracks.
 
“Getting a No. 1 song is an absolute miracle,” shares Tape Room Music President Blain Rhodes. “So to be celebrating 50 of them is surreal and speaks to the endless talent and work ethic of our amazing roster. We are so thankful for our publishing and label partners, and especially our friends at country radio.”
 
Phelps signed with Tape Room Music in 2014, and “Chevrolet” marks his 11th No. 1 single, following recent hits with Nate Smith’s “Bulletproof” and Kenny Chesney’s “Take Her Home.”
 
Chatting with Tennessean, he shares, “I’ve gone to songwriting school every day for 10 years. (Ashley’s) ability to speak directly to why one idea works better than another, in any songwriting scenario, allows you to eventually develop your own formula for writing No. 1 hits.”

Koe Wetzel Brings "Wetzel's Wonderland Live" to Texas Dec. 26 & 27; Tickets on Sale Friday

 Forbes’s “rising music powerhouse” Koe Wetzel brings the holiday spirit home to Texas this Christmas, with two Wetzel’s Wonderland Live shows set for Friday, Dec. 26 and Saturday, Dec. 27 in Austin and Fort Worth, respectively. Tickets to both dates, featuring special guests Morgan Wade and Stephen Wilson, Jr., are on sale this Friday, Sept. 20.
 
The two shows will bring to life the Platinum-certified country-rocker’s Wetzel Wonderland EP, released in 2023 and featuring his reimagined takes on “Blue Christmas,” “Please Come Home for Christmas” and “I’ll Be Home for Christmas.” 
 
The holiday homecoming will serve as the finale to a year of sold-out shows from Wetzel, with his Damn Near Normal Tour currently underway. The headlining run has spanned the U.S. all summer and will conclude at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre before heading overseas through November.
 
Wetzel most recently released fan-favorite track “Casamigos” along with an official music video last Friday, Sept. 13, as his fifth studio album 9 Lives continues to impress. Having debuted at No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and No. 5 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart (No. 2 among new releases behind only the “Twisters” soundtrack), the vulnerably mature album features lead single “High Road” with Jessie Murph, which has already cracked the Top 30 in just 10 weeks at country radio, while “Sweet Dreams” earned a nod at next week’s NBC People’s Choice Country Awards and the duo of songs marked Wetzel’s first two Hot Country Songs Top 10 hits.
 
For more information and to purchase tickets to all upcoming dates, visit KoeWetzelMusic.com and follow on Instagram and Facebook @KoeWetzelMusic, TikTok @Koe_Wetzel and Twitter/X @KoeWetzel. 

About Koe Wetzel
Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn’t tear down: The Texas singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop, and even Nineties grunge. His 2016 album Noise Complaint endeared him to fans with its no- holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts and stints in jail, and included the Gold-certified hits “Love” (feat. Parker McCollum), “Something to Talk About” and the infamous “February 28, 2016.” Wetzel’s 2020 major label debut, Sellout, only furthered his legend with the Platinum-certified “Drunk Driving” and “Good Die Young” plus the Gold-certified “Kuntry & Wistern.” The 2022 follow-up, Hell Paso, hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums and spawned hits on both the country and rock charts, including the Gold-certified “Creeps” and “Cabo.” To date, Wetzel has 3.3 billion total streams and has created a genuine experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” In 2023 alone, he sold more than 275,000 tickets, and appeared for a third time on POLLSTAR’s Top Worldwide Tours. Wetzel has played prominent festival sets this summer and opened for Morgan Wallen on the superstar’s One Night at a Time Stadium Tour in Texas, while also headlining his own Damn Near Normal World Tour, currently underway. His new album, 9 Lives (Columbia), is available everywhere now as lead single “High Road” with Jessie Murph arrives as his debut Country radio single while also climbing both the Hot AC and Top 40 charts.

Industrial music icon PIG / Raymond Watts presents 'Fallout', previewing 'Feast of Agony' EP

Industrial music legend Raymond Watts a.k.a. PIG has shared his new single 'Fallout', undoubtedly the most catchy among the six coruscating tracks found on his new 'Feast of Agony' EP, out on September 27 via Metropolis Records.

This EP arrives on the trail of the remastered reissue of PIG's landmark 1995 ‘Sinsation’ album (originally released via Trent Reznor's Nothing Records) and his latest studio album ‘Red Room’, released earlier this year - both albums released via Metropolis.

Raymond Watts aka PIG has enjoyed a stellar career since starting out as a pioneering member of the mid-1980s industrial rock scene. As well as releasing fourteen albums as PIG, he has toured with KMFDM (he was a member of the band in their early days), Nine Inch Nails and Einstürzende Neubauten, written music for fashion and film (for Chloe, Marios Schwab, Halston and The Row), created exhibition sound design for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and collaborated with the late fashion icon Alexander McQueen.

'Feast of Agony' is the sound of PIG crushing the grinding wheel of grief with the seed of hope and relief. Watts’ anger burns and binds as he cooks up more kick-ass music, begging you to march to the drumbeat of hope with these encounters with the Lord of Lard, in which he brings word to wordless and truth to the truthless.

The EP kicks off with the monstrous 'Heroin for the Damned', screaming like a demon officiating at his own funeral while trying to stem the wounds of reality with the joy juice of depravity, which was co-written with Watts’ collaborator-in-chief Jim Davies, a longtime member of Pitchshifter, but best known for his acidic and acerbic guitar lines on many chart hits by The Prodigy,

The remaining tracks are a cure that’s kind… and a call to the deserts of desperation from the promised land of truth.

Watts will continue his oration against hopelessness, hypocrisy and the ever creeping tide of despair on PIG's ‘Heroin For The Damned’ tour across North America, kicking off on September 28. Joined by Curse Mackey and Unitcode : Machine, this 40-date itinerary follows PIG's headlining set at Cold Waves XII in Chicago.

As of September 27, the 'Feast of Agony' EP is available everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, along with the 'Red Room' and 'Sinsation (Remastered)' albums. The vinyl edition of 'Feast of Agony' is only available on the tour. Tickets can be ordered at https://linktr.ee/ pigtour2024

Funeral Usher You into their Unyielding Embrace on New Single

"...set such a high bar for doom metal" - Angry Metal Guy

Few bands tread the line between despair and catharsis as poignantly as FUNERAL. Today, the Norwegian titans of sorrow are unveiling the latest single off their upcoming seventh album Gospel of Bones. "Procession of Misery" ushers you into the raw and unyielding embrace of doom metal.

Listen to "Procession of Misery" below.

Gospel of Bones is out October 18th on Season of Mist.

Pre-order & Pre-save

https://orcd.co/funeralgospelofbones

Hailing from the desolate climates of Norway, Funeral have built their legacy on crafting epic, melancholic soundscapes. The band are stalwart guardians of funeral doom with tones that are weighted as the bowed boughs of winter.

"Procession of Misery" carries forward their legacy, leading listeners through a morose symphony of sorrow. Their new single is a dirge, a solemn march into the abyss that doesn't shy away from staring into the void but rather finds a haunting beauty within it. Punctuated by relentless funeral drums and melodies that etch sorrow into the night sky, it embodies the soul-crushing bleakness that's fuels Funeral's 20-year legacy.

Daryl Hall Marks 10th Anniversary of Restaurant and Live Music Club “Daryl’s House” on Oct. 31 With Free Fan Concert!

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Daryl Hall celebrates the 10th anniversary of his Pawling, NY Restaurant and Live Music Club, Daryl’s House, with a free concert for fans on October 31. 

Winners will be selected to attend the intimate show through Daryl’s exclusive fan club, “Daryl’s Den.”

Daryl will then hit the road in November for a month-long stint with special guest Howard Jones, who appeared with him on the latest edition of “Live from Daryl’s House,” on YouTube.

The tour starts November 7 at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando, ending at the Borgata in Atlantic City – not far from Daryl’s Philadelphia hometown -- November 23, with a date at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium on November 19. 

Jones has had a string of Top 40 hits in the U.S. and U.K. with “New Song,” “What Is Love?,” “Things Can Only Get Better,” “Life in One Day,” “No One is to Blame,” “Everlasting Love,” among many others. 

“I’ve really enjoyed playing with Howard on ‘Live from Daryl’s House,’ and look forward to joining forces on this tour,” said Hall. “It should be a great night.”

“Can’t wait to go on the road with my good friend Daryl Hall for what promises to be a terrific show,” added Jones, who just recently toured in a bill with fellow U.K. hitmakers ABC and Haircut 100.

The events cap a very busy year for Hall, who toured with Elvis Costello, and released “D” with Virgin Records, his first solo album in 13 years, co-produced by fellow RHOF inductee Dave Stewart, who also co-wrote seven of the nine new original songs.

The album already spawned on a Top 20 AC hit with “Can’t Say No To You.”

Nov. 7: Dr. Phillips Center (Orlando, FL)

Nov. 9: Hard Rock Live (Hollywood, FL)

Nov. 11: The Sound @Coachman Park (Clearwater, FL)

Nov. 14: The St. Augustine Amphitheater (St. Augustine, FL)

Nov. 16: Columbia County PAC (Evans, GA)

Nov. 19: Ryman Auditorium (Nashville, TN)

Nov. 21: Tennessee Theater (Knoxville, TN)

Nov. 23: Borgata (Atlantic City, NJ)
