Rock band AUTUMN KINGS, who have been steadily buzzing for the past year and with over 40 million streams and counting, have a landed a brand new label home. 

The trio, known for crafting unforgettably hooky anthems, has officially signed to Hopeless Records, and will commence working on material imminently.

"We are so excited to officially sign a record deal with Hopeless Records," the band says. "We've admired the label's fierce independent spirit for over a decade and they helped give careers to some of our favorite bands who changed our lives and inspired us to do music — Avenged Sevenfold, Sum 41, and Yellowcard, to name a few. We feel that our new label partner and our team there truly understands our creative vision and supports where we want to go into the future."

The band continues, "Our most recent releases, 'SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD' and 'HELLBOUND' both touch on the spirit of conquest — both physically and mentally. We are a band that wants to champion a warrior mindset in our fans, to strive for more, become the best versions of themselves they can possibly be, and have the best time doing it. Conquering victim mentality, championing independent thought and courage... these are the pillars of the Autumn Kings experience, and we are excited to work hand-in-hand with Hopeless Records to bring this to the world."

The aforementioned "Sleep When I'm Dead" and "HELLBOUND" are out now.

Both tracks have garnered airplay on SiriusXM's Octane, among others. 

But that's not all.

Autumn Kings have had their music played on Football Night In America; at Detroit Red Wings games; in Major League Baseball stadiums; and on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.  They spent the summer of 2023 touring Pacific and Japanese military bases and have opened for Bush, Dorothy, Tea Party, X Ambassadors, and Mutemath.

This song is a celebration of that beauty and everything it has to offer.”

At just 18-years old when he auditioned, the Hawaiian born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist won hearts around the world and brought Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan, to tears with his emotional performance of James Blunt's "Monsters," dedicated to his father Rodney who had recently passed away - watch it HERE.

MADELINE MERLO RELEASES MELODIC DUET “BROKEN HEART THING” WITH MULTI-PLATINUM, 9X #1 HITMAKER DUSTIN LYNCH

Madeline Merlo, a 2x CCMA award winner and 2024 CCMA Female Artist of the Year nominee, teams up with MULTI-PLATINUM, 9x #1 hitmaker Dustin Lynch for her new release “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch).” The song, the first peek into her forthcoming project ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door), explores both sides of a recent heartbreak & how they’re both still getting used to the relationship falling apart.  The melancholy melody serves up a storyline that perfectly complements the vulnerable moments captured on this recording. Listen here.

 

“I’m overjoyed to finally share 'Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch)’ with the world today,” said Merlo. “A huge thank you to Dustin Lynch for lending his signature vocal to this song, one that delves into the complexities of navigating life right after a broken heart. It’s a relatable journey that I’m hoping people can find some sense of not being alone in that feeling when they hear this song.”

 

Merlo’s forthcoming project embodies a narrative of authenticity, vulnerability & imperfection. In “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch),” you feel as if you are living the story yourself, desperately attempting to picture a new normal. The song is more than just a new track, it is a profound exploration of the aftermath of a breakup. The song delves into the dual perspectives of a relationship’s end, offering a raw and authentic portrayal of the emotional turbulence that accompanies heartbreak. The narrative is built around the universal experience of moving on from a once-promising relationship, and the poignant melancholy of adjusting to new realities. Directed by Jack Owens, the official music video for the track also launched today, view below. 

Madeline Merlo’s emotive vocals guide the listener through a tender examination of both sides of a breakup, exploring themes of loss, acceptance, and the lingering echoes of love. With Lynch’s rich, identifiable, evocative voice joining Merlo’s on the track, “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch)” becomes a duet that bridges two perspectives, creating a powerful and resonant piece of music.

“I’ve gotten a chance to invite Madeline out a few times now to perform with me, so I was honored to be asked to jump on this song with her,” shared Lynch. “I love how our voices blend on this track, and the power in her vulnerability. It’s so relatable and I’m looking forward to seeing how this one connects!”

Having “already proven her songwriting chops” (Billboard), Merlo, a 2024 CMT “Next Women of Country,” has “long made a career by telling big emotional stories in the span of 3 minute or so songs” (American Songwriter). Similar to her critically acclaimed label-debut EP, Slide, that scored her praise from BillboardE! NewsPopCultureMusic Row and more, Merlo continues to build her niche as a songwriter and artist, as she brings to life powerful female stories, from budding romances, to growing up and to the lessons learned in-between. “…Ready to make her name and talent known in the American country music landscape” (Country Swag), the “rising country star” (People) has a new project “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch)” out now, available on all streaming platforms.

 

Expanding her creative horizons, Madeline Merlo has recently collabed with Sunday Club, releasing anexclusive 8-piece jewelry collection perfectly capturing her unique style. In addition, Merlo is the face of the Urban Planet x Boots & Hearts Collab, don’t miss out — shop the collection here while supplies last. 

About Madeline Merlo:
With a crystalline Country vocal and an international rep for writing vivid scenes of emotional insight, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville recording artist Madeline Merlo is a rising star with an old soul and a new school style. Already a Platinum-certified No. 1 songwriter poised to be a breakout artist, Merlo’s new project ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door) finds a self-described deep-feeler offering a message of encouragement to her younger self – and to all those who feel “a little different.” A small town native helming from the blueberry fields of British Columbia, Merlo recalls countless holiday family sing-alongs soaked in a musical mix of classic soul and R&B – plus ‘90s country and the powerhouse vocals of everyone from Aretha Franklin to Dolly Parton, Martina McBride and Faith Hill. After attending a Shania Twain concert as her first show, she proclaimed her intention to be a singer on a second-grade school project – and her songwriting habit began early, too. Merlo started visiting Nashville on songwriting trips at just 16, signed a record deal at 18, and found fast success at Canadian country radio, earning the CCMA Rising Star award in 2015. By 2020 she was competing on Season 2 of NBC songwriting reality series Songland – and with the dressed-down anthem of easy confidence, “Champagne Night,” she came out a winner. The track went on to become a Platinum-certified three-week No. 1 for Lady A, opening the door for Merlo’s artistic dreams. The sassy country/funk and soul single “It Didn’t” has racked up more than 10 million Spotify streams to date, and Merlo followed with the gravel-road pop of her Slide EP in 2022. Now, after being named to CMT Next Women of Country class of 2024, she calls ONE HOUSE DOWN  (from the girl next door)  her most emotionally insightful project yet – a six-song message of self-worth that comes with a superstar boost and plays to her creative strength. The first peek into her forthcoming project arrives August 9th with the melodic “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch),” and the full project will be available October 11th. Merlo can be found on the road throughout the U.S. and Canada this summer. For more information, visit her website.

About Dustin Lynch:
Dustin Lynch has "built one of the most consistent recording careers in modern country music” (Billboard), achieving nine #1s; four Top 5 albums; 10 GOLD, PLATINUM, and MULTI-PLATINUM certified singles; and tallying over 4.4 BILLION cumulative global streams. His Top 10-and-climbing single “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll),” from sixth studio album Killed The Cowboy (Broken Bow Records), 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.

New Jersey band BARD signs to Magic Door Records, presents soulful 'Angels Got His Back' single

"With a rich melodic and soulful quality, laced with infectious rhythms and laid-back vibes, this music makes for a captivating listening experience - the kind of track that makes you want to close your eyes, turn up the volume, and let the music wash over you" ~ Amplify Music Magazine


New Jersey groovy rock-blues outfit BARD (a.k.a. The BARD Band) present their new single 'Angels Got His Back', bringing us a sublime dose of their soulful sound and groovy spirit. This is the first taste of their debut album 'Angels Got His Back', slated for release on October 4 with label backing thanks to their recently inked deal with Magic Door Records.

In the capable hands of producer Ray Ketchem (Guided by Voices, Elk City, Luna, Gramercy Arms), this album was recorded, mixed and mastered at the famed Magic Door Recording studio in Montclair. "We’re thrilled to announce the first single from The BARD Band, a new addition to our roster. This is the title track to their upcoming LP 'Angels Got His Back'! Try to resist this airy groove of a song we’re dubbing New Classic Rock," says Ray Ketchem.

BARD was formed in 2017 in Montclair by college friends Jamie Pagliaro (acoustic guitar, lead vocals) and Michael Schreiber (keyboard, organ, vocals), who reunited after losing touch for two decades. The band's lineup grew to include Dave Menez (bass guitar, vocals), Mike Potenza (electric guitar, vocals) and David Kolk (drums, percussion, vocals), each bringing his own unique musical sensibilities. This fusion resulted in a rich texture of sounds, enhanced by the band's cohesive approach to dynamics, tone, and articulate sound mix.

Jamie Pagliaro shares, "'Angels Got His Back' is a poignant adaptation of Vachel Lindsay's timeless poem 'In Memory of a Child'. The song paints a vivid picture of a child embraced by celestial guardians, wandering through idyllic landscapes of eternal spring. It captures the innocence and wonder of childhood, celebrating the belief that the departed are safe in the care of angels, their spirits forever bright and untarnished."

A tribute to enduring love and hope that lights up even the darkest moments, this funky dark-themed track tenderly imagines a departed child now in the care of angels, playing and exploring in a heavenly realm. Surrounded by beauty and joy, he roams through eternal spring, safe and enlightened.

With a soulful groove-rock sound, BARD craft uplifting music that inspires and unites through a contagious rhythm. Initially drawing inspiration from Shakespeare, BARD's vision of setting poems to music quickly expanded to include works from poets like Robert Browning, Langston Hughes, in addition to original poems by Jamie Pagliaro. A product of their collaborative process, each member makes their own unique contribution to the structure and composition of each song.

BARD's music is as much inspired by soulful singers like Marvin Gaye and Van Morrison, the funky sounds of the Doobie Brothers and Grover Washington's jazz as they are by classic rock influences like Neil Young and The Band, the Allman Brothers' southern rock and the jam band style of the Grateful Dead, not to mention a touch of country sensibility.

In contrast to their 2002 debut EP 'Come Back Often', which leans on their indie-folk roots with elements of country and rock, BARD's new album represents an evolutionary step forward, highlighting the incorporation of funk and soul elements, while also allowing space for more improvisation and textured percussive elements.

From their inception to their evolving sound and dedicated live performances, BARD continues to build a dedicated following and make their mark in the music scene. Thriving on live performances, delighting diverse audiences at festivals, community events, breweries and coffee shops, they are known for their engaging shows, energizing audiences with positive vibes.

The 'Angels Got His Back' single is available everywhere digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. Their debut album, out October 4, can already be pre-ordered via Bandcamp. On August 23, BARD will be holding a soft-launch album release party at Tierney’s Montclair.

THEM GUNS Release New Single "Acid Plane" + Music Video via TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

THEM GUNS have unveiled their latest single, "Acid Plane," accompanied by a visually captivating music video, through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

"'Acid Plane' is about getting on a plane right before a worldwide nuclear disaster. The only survivors are the people who were aboard airplanes at the time of the incident. When they make it to their destination, they arrive to a completely different existence," explains Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, the band's lead singer and guitarist.

Denny Sanders of TLG|ZOID shares, "I'm happy to say Them Guns are back with The Label Group."

WATCH Them Guns - "Acid Plane" (Official Music Video) below;

STREAM "Acid Plane"

https://ingrv.es/acid-plane-fwt-o

Brilliance does not happen overnight. THEM GUNS, a synth rock band with dance evoking progressive sound have managed to sustain not only their unique array of high quality musical content, but also embodies a much deeper bond; a friendship in fact. A long time friendship that formed as far back as the mid 1980’s, when two of the band members had a chance meeting as kids. Based in Los Angeles, the band has performed in venues across the globe amassing new fans at every stop.

Between the band’s charismatic lead singer / guitarist Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, and iconic multi-instrumentalist Kyle Hamood, there was chemistry between these two California natives from the very start. Their fate began as young boys where they met in a pool, while on holiday in Hawaii. They had no idea this chance meeting would lead a convergence of talents, blossoming from friendship to a fantastical band 20 years later. That recipe would not be complete without two additional ingredients, astounding bass player, Chuck Holiday and explosive drummer, Chris Hudson, both California natives. Together this revolutionary foursome have formed, along with their own unique influences, what the world now knows as THEM GUNS.

The connection between band members runs deep. Chance happenings frequently occur amongst these guys; such as Navarone having an idea one night when lyrics came to him in a dream for a song. The same night he wrote them down, Kyle had an idea for a melody to a song. Neither knew the others idea until the following day when it was mentioned on the phone. Kyle and Chuck played the melody to Navarone’s lyrics, and magic happened. The sound fit perfectly to the words.

Whether coincidence or deeper connection, their dynamic spirit continues to create a variety of ever evolving and alluringly progressive sounds. Their unique eclectic styles can be deemed a blend of influences churning out fan favorites including “Fireworks,” “Horoscope,” “Somebody Called the Cops,” “Devil’s Eye,” Shot in the Dark” and their most recent release “Acid Plane” are all perfectly orchestrated, influential and cinematic.

THEM GUNS have succeeded in forming a loyal following with sellout performances across the globe, amassing fans of kin along the way. Tens of thousands of fans repeatedly stream their music videos. The band’s fan base is one of the most loyal and stretch across the U.S., South America, Europe and Canada. They’ve played venues across the country including the West Coast, SXSW, the U.K and South America. The band is currently signed with powerhouse record label, TLG/Zoid, thru Virgin Music. Them Guns is best described as a musical prodigy about to conquer the world. The year 2024 will include new tour dates, new singles, and an upcoming album. Fans can subscribe to all the latest news about Them Guns by joining any of their social media platforms.

NYC rockers The Giraffes unveil hypnotic single ‘The Shot’, heralding new ‘Cigarette’ album

"Undeniably captivating. There’s a certain charm to their music with instrumentation and vocals that are absolutely assured and insanely fucking groovy. Offering a very cool melody, time-shifting and dramatism that builds in intensity, 'The Shot' is a superb and infectious single" ~ Amplify Music Magazine


Brooklyn-based alternative rock outfit The Giraffes present 'The Shot', a hypnotic rock-meets-psychedelic-surf earworm that shimmers between shadowy depths and sunlit crescendos. This is the first taste of their eighth album 'Cigarette', slated for release on September 27, in which the band promises "a score for our current age of decay and disappointment, fear and fury, idiocy and hope". 

Known for their trademark menu of metal-tinged scuzz-rock, The Giraffes offer a tasteful mixture of heavy rock, punk, post-punk, surf and whatever else they find interesting. Formed in 1996, they've been crafting a hedonistic soundtrack that is loud, agile, dangerous, funny, sick, complex and satisfying. 

With lead singer Aaron Lazar and guitar maestro Damien Paris as its core, drummer Andrew Totolos provides the locomotive rhythm section with Hannah Moorhead anchoring the bass. This year marks the beginning of a new era for the band, with Moorhead now also contributing backing vocals and songwriting. With the line-up no longer in flux, the focus is now largely on songwriting.  

The result is 'Cigarette', an album full of surprises, taking new risks with subject matter and composition, while maintaining the intensity and dexterity fans know and love. Recorded & engineered by Andrew Totolos at Apesauce Studio, this album was mixed by Grammy nominated producer Francisco Botero (Matisyahu, Odesza) at the legendary Studio G Brooklyn and by James Dellatacoma (Bill Laswell, Herbie Hancock, TS Monk, John Zorn, Angelique Kidjo) at Bill Laswell's famed Orange Music Sound Studio.

"'The Shot' is a song about Gen x (my generation), which has always chronically undersold itself. We have limited desires and, as a result, we tend to see limited returns. We were raised by these selfish boomers and we really don't want to become like that but, at the same time, the rules we must live by still happen to be boomer rules," says Aaron Lazar.

"Consequently, we (or honestly I) fall into the trap of pulling back and looking at the larger picture. The bigger story of degradation and cope that leads us to envisioning a paradise on the other side of this disappointment of an existence. This is a song about millennialism I suppose, where we are doomed to fail, but forced to race nonetheless."

Four years since cutting their teeth on the NYC underground scene and two years since releasing their 1998 debut album 'Franksquilt', The Giraffes finally found its true form as a band in 2000 when joined by vocalist Aaron Lazar. Upon releasing 'Helping You Help Yourself', their first album with Lazar in 2002, the band would stake its claim as the most unbridled and fun-loving Brooklyn live act. Indeed, with fierce musicality and peak audience participation, The Giraffes earned themselves a dedicated fan base. 

From 2002, the band toured nationally and released four studio albums in succession, signing with various labels along the way. Their spaghetti western EP 'A Gentleman Never Tells' (2003) was followed by 'The Giraffes' album (2005), the 'Pretty In Puke' EP and the 'Prime Motivator' album (2008). Their epic 2010 concept album 'Ruled' proved to be Lazar's swan song before leaving the band in 2011. While his departure seemed to mark the end of an era, the embers of their explosive sound would later reignite, proving that this was not the band's final act.

2014 brought sold-out reunion concerts with Lazar back at the helm, reuniting fans from far and wide. Bolstered by their support, the Giraffes began developing new material, resulting in their sixth album 'Usury', released to critical acclaim in 2015.  Finally, 2019 brought a new lineup with the addition of bassist Hannah Moorhead (Netherlands, Twenty Two’s) and new impetus with the release of the 'Flower of the Cosmos' album and remixes by Swervedriver's Adam Franklin and notable hip-hop record producer Blockhead.

Over the years, The Giraffes have toured with Eagles of Death Metal, Local-H, The Vacation and Skeleton Key, and shared the stage with Interpol, Fishbone, Yeah Yeah Yeah's and The Strokes. They've played SXSW, Bonnaroo, Amsterjam, Voodofest, Monolith, Northside and CMJ Festivals, and landed sync licensing placements in the 'Guitar Hero' video game, Sundance Festival winning film 'I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore', and the forthcoming 'Toxic Avenger' remake.

As of July 30, 'The Shot' will be available everywhere, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The 'Cigarette' album, which is out on September 27 is now available for pre-order via Bandcamp.

Bailee Madison Unveils New Song, "Chiller"

Rising pop sensation Bailee Madison is back with her latest single, “Chiller.” With its catchy hook, vibrant lyrics,and irresistible beat, "Chiller" is poised to dominate airwaves and playlists everywhere. Out today, fans can pre-save/pre-add the song here.
 
Written by Madison along with her boyfriend, Blake Richardson (frontman of the British-Pop Trio, New Hope Club), and muti-genre hit writer Amy Stroup, “Chiller” sparkles with production by Richardson.
 
"'Chiller' was written about two months ago and it started with a conversation with my boyfriend Blake Richardson, who is also producing and writing this project with me,” said Madison. “We were chatting about some weird situations that I have been in lately that left an un-chill taste in my mouth. From random guys whistling to me and my girlfriends, to hands just a little too low during pictures with strangers, we wanted to write a song that didn’t take itself too seriously but had the underlying message of embracing your body, having the freedom to exist in utter confidence and unapologetic love for ourselves at all times. We should never have to feel uncomfortable, so to relay the uncomfortableness that comes with these situations onto the song, we focused on making the production around the lyrics feel almost daunting and off-centered at times.”
 
On her journey making music, she added, “For me, starting my music journey has been so healing. We rarely go into a session knowing what we are aiming for, and I try not to put myself in a box. Being uncomfortable helps me to grow and have a better understanding of myself. I love using music to push myself out of my comfort zone and to come out with a song like ‘Chiller’ with my amazing collaborators Amy Stroup, Rob Kleiner (track mix & master) and Blake. I think we really surprised ourselves, which is a great feeling. With so much more music to come, I’m so proud to release this song to the world. I hope you all like it.”
 
“Chiller” follows Madison’s debut song, “Kinda Fun,” which was released in January on Red Van Records. “Exploring music has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember,” she said and later told People Magazine, “I've been saved by music so many times, and if by any chance I'm able to have that connection with people, that would be such a treat.” 
 
As an in-demand actress, Madison is currently starring in the globally renowned franchise and critically recognized reboot Pretty Little Liars, with season two’s Summer School streaming now. She first gained acclaim in the film Bridge To Terabithia and the physiological war drama Brothers. She’s continued to garner many notable roles, such as Just Go With ItThe Strangers: Prey at Night, the fantasy film North PoleWizards of Waverly PlaceGood Witch, and more. With the 2021 Netflix musical hit A Week Away, she has seamlessly immersed herself into the world of music, a passion that has always been in her heart to pursue.

Fancy Hagood Captures Love & Solace in New Song "Good Grief"

Acclaimed singer/songwriter Fancy Hagood will release his deeply emotional and introspective new single, “Good Grief,” on Friday, July 26. The poignant track captures the raw essence of loss, reflection and the journey toward healing, solidifying Hagood’s place as one of the most evocative storytellers in contemporary music.
 
“Good Grief” delves into the complexities of grief and the bittersweet memories that accompany it. The song's heartfelt lyrics and haunting melody offer a glimpse into Hagood's soul, making it a relatable and cathartic experience for listeners. Pre-add/save the song here.

“Last year, an acquaintance of mine had passed away and they had the most beautiful celebration of life for them,” said Hagood. “The following day, I had a writing session with my friend Jeremy Lutito, and I showed up feeling heavy with grief and loss, and strangely enough, so was Jeremy. He had just lost their family cat, and he was sharing with me the struggle of having to explain the concept of grief to his young children. Honestly, we both wrote this song to cope with our grief that day, and it was healing for me.
 
“Now, when I see the little reminders of those I have lost, the grief visits me, and it is just wonderful. It is ‘good grief’ because it’s as if they were there with me for a moment, and for that, I’m thankful. This song is for anyone missing loved ones on the other side.”
 
The song’s lyrics paint vivid imagery of sorrow and solace, capturing moments of vulnerability and resilience. Hagood’s soulful voice and masterful storytelling shine through as he navigates the emotions of losing a loved one while finding peace in memories and the natural world.
 
“Good Grief” is a testament to the duality of grief and joy, capturing the delicate balance of holding onto cherished memories while moving forward. Hagood’s ability to convey such a complex emotional landscape is a testament to his artistry and connection with his audience.
 
“Good Grief” follows the recent release of his song “Through,” of which Music Row Magazine said, “What a groove. Love the cool, crunchy bop tempo.” Listen to the song here. Both songs will be featured on his forthcoming sophomore album due this fall. 
 
Hagood continues with a heavy summer tour schedule with artists including Maggie Rose, Joy Oladokun, Orville Peck and others. This fall, he will return to Europe for his first headlining tour, the Fly Away Tour. Tickets for shows are available here.

THE LONELY ONES Release New Single "The Bottom"

Experience the latest sensation from the rock band, The Lonely Ones! Their newest single, "The Bottom," arrived today, July 23, 2024.

Lead vocalist Marty McCoy shares his raw and introspective perspective, stating, “We live in a world where alcohol flows like a great river. It's easy to drown in that river. We try our best to stay afloat."

Check out The Lonely One's New Single "The Bottom"

https://linktr.ee/thelonelyones

Formed in the summer of 2019, The Lonely Ones are a four piece, vocal-oriented hard rock band with an ear for melody and a taste for success. The group features Marty McCoy on guitar / vocals, Tommy Johnson on drums, Jymmy Tolland on guitar / vocals and Tru Roberts on bass / vocals. Being no strangers to the hardships of the music industry, The Lonely Ones consist of former members of Bobaflex. Together, they knew what they wanted and knew how to get it; by combining their knowledge and experiences to achieve a common goal. With determined perseverance and an energized drive to triumph, they were ready to release their first two singles independently in March of 2020; with the titles “Eternal Sadness" and "The Lonely One."

A few months after their initial introduction to the world of rock, the band decided to take a major leap of faith and release their re-imagined version of Queen's classic song "Flash." There’s always the risk of scrutiny and criticism when it comes to covering classic songs, especially ones that are still regarded with high praise from the still thriving fan base, but the band was confident their rendition would not only honor the original but also garner renewed attention for the hit theme. Any doubts were squashed when the song and video were met with rave reviews, including those of Brian May from Queenand Sam J. Jones, Flash Gordon himself.

Brian May was quoted as saying, “What a fantastic cover! I didn’t realize they were going to go into The Hero and the whole reprise ... magnificent!"

Sam J Jones adds, "This is one of the best covers I have ever heard and seen. What a gifted group - The Lonely Ones are for every one of us, from the 1980’s to right now!"

Humbled by the response from fans, listeners and legends in the entertainment industry, the band was spurred on in their pursuit to create groundbreaking original music. In September of 2020, The Lonely Ones released another brand new single titled "Real Big Trouble." What started out as a fun and creative session quickly turned out to be one of their most rewarding. This is one of the heaviest songs the band has ever written, but it also gives a look into what sounds inspire them, such as Thin Lizzy and Beartooth.

By February of 2021, the band had signed on with Imagen Records and released another single called “Change the Station.” This release had 9 active rock stations add the single in the first week and they were a feature artist on Spotify's Rock Hard editorial playlist as well as over 100 other playlists in the first week as well.

The next release through Imagen was "Dyin' All Night Long" in June of 2021. A song about an abusive relationship and how often times excuses are made over and over for that person. The lyrics come from the perspective of a victim having had enough of it.

The band released two more singles titled "Gettin' High" (2021) and “The Way Out”(2022) via Imagen Records before ultimately going independent.
The band spent the summer of 2022 getting back to the grind and writing new songs. The Lonely Ones’ released "Bedroom Door" in October of 2022.

The Lonely Ones have played shows with Sevendust, Nonpoint, Fozzy, Royal Bliss, Seven Year Witch, Black Top Mojo, September Mourning and many more.

In addition, the band is endorsed by: Orange Amps, Westone Audio, Pearl Drums, Sabian Cymbals, Evan's Heads, Vater Sticks, Ibanez, Frog Amplification, Tech 21 Amplification, Michael Kelly Guitars, SIT Strings, Rare Buzz Effects and Strüng, which is guitar string jewelry that raises money for music education.

Newcomer Christian Hayes Releases Expressive Song, “Cheyenne,” Out Now

Christian Hayes was 7 years old when his Grandpa Jack gave him his first journal. He told the child the empty pages were a place for him to write whatever he wanted – poems, songs, or feelings – and that his words were one of the few things that were solely his.
 
Now Hayes, a poetic and articulate singer-songwriter from the foothills of Appalachia, is sharing his reflective words with the world. 
 
Hayes' new song "Cheyenne" is out now. Listen below.
 
An expressive, melodic journey through self-discovery and heartbreak, "Cheyenne" combines the storytelling and phrasing from Hayes' James Taylor influence with the Americana country roots vibe he picked up from admiring the Eagles and the gutsy lyrical sense he learned from spinning The Chicks. 
 
The song was inspired by a conversation with his dad. Hayes was working for his girlfriend’s father selling oil and gas, often clocking in 14-16 hour days, sometimes seven days a week. Neither his personal nor professional relationship with the family were going as he’d hoped.
 
“Dad was like, ‘I'm giving you permission to run away and start over,’” Hayes recalled. “I was like, ‘Where do I go?' He said, ‘Go to Cheyenne.’ I wrote the song about me not being satisfied with who I was and feeling like I was always running away to things or running to something else and really wanting to, just wasn't satisfied with where I was in life.”

In a world where co-writing is king, Hayes wrote "Cheyenne" alone.
 
“When I first started writing, it was observational…a way to make sense of the feelings in my life,” the now 25 year old recalls of a path he set into motion more than a decade ago. “Then, a few years ago, the perspective I was writing from shifted from trying to make sense of the feelings I’ve felt to wanting to share them. I realized that I wasn’t the only one that felt alone in these emotions and thoughts - people are relating to my music in ways I never knew were possible.”  
 
There's a grit and transparency to Hayes’ songs. His voice glides knowingly through the lyrics as if he's felt every word he sings. He comes from the heart of Rome, Georgia, and generations of storytellers. His friends call him The Lullaby Kid, and with the gift of cloaking the rawest of emotions in a hooky meter and a smooth but affected voice, the name fits. 
 
"Music has always been in my life - it has been a constant in an inconsistent world," he states. "There isn't a single emotional state, nor stage of life, that music can't reach. It has the ability to touch life in a beautiful way."
 
He grew up surrounded by family, poverty and love. Hayes first picked up a guitar when he was 8 years old and started putting songwriting and guitar together. He prayed for God to help him learn guitar and checked out the “Guitar for Dummies" book at the local library for extra support. Hayes led worship in his church until he graduated high school and enrolled in the US Navy Reserve. He went to bootcamp and then the University of Alabama in the fall of 2018 where he wrote the first song that he says was “worth listening to twice.” 
 
By the time Hayes moved to Nashville, he'd honed his craft, turning those experiences into over 900 songs. He released his debut single, "Leaving," in February, earning a much-coveted place on Spotify's Fresh Finds Country playlist and placement on Apple Music's Country Risers, New In Country, Speakin' Easy and Pickers.
 
Hayes released "LILY" in April, which has organically earned more than 2 million streams. While country music is thick with Georgia singers, Hayes is of a different stock. Born from his writing in his journal, Hayes' songs are a collection of real-life feelings and coarse emotions he wants to share with the world. He hopes his music means something to people.

MAJESTICA - Release New Single 'A New Beginning'!

MAJESTICA are back with their first new music of 2024! The Swedish power metal quartet proudly presents their latest single 'A New Beginning', which is the band's first release since 2021. Therefore, the song name not only fits in relation to this, but also speaks about a new beginning and letting things come to an end. Paired with musical elements reminiscent of the 80s, MAJESTICA unleashes a new catchy tune upon their fans that puts the band back on the radar.

As if the release of this brand new single wasn't enough, MAJESTICA have also delivered a brand new music video for their single, which you can watch below.


Tommy Johansson comments: 

"When Majestica finally returns with a new song it couldn’t have been a better one than
'A New Beginning'. Not only is it a heavy power metal song with a catchy sing-along chorus, but it’s also very melodic in the style of Stratovarius, 80’s rock, and Helloween with some hints of Gary Moore. The song reflects on (as the title says) to start over, but also of something that comes to an end. But the end isn’t always a bad thing. It feels great to finally release some new music with Majestica again and to show that we’re back - back with a new beginning."

Brantley Gilbert Reveals Tattoos 9/13 + "Me And My House" ft. Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones Available Now

Fifteen years after the release of his debut album, multi-Platinum country-rock trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. You can either hide it or embrace it. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, set for release September 13 via The Valory Music Co., 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. Pre-order/pre-save Tattoos HERE.
 
“All my albums, they capture a chapter of my life,” Gilbert explains. “If somebody wants to know who I am, what I’ve been through and where I stand, they can start at the beginning and listen through, and that’s why it was undeniable that Tattoosshould be the title – because my tattoos do the same thing.
 
“People get ‘em for a lot of reasons, but for most of us, tattoos talk about our victories and losses, our struggles and the whole nine,” he observes. “I was one of those kids who had to learn the hard way. But if I would've listened to the advice of others, I don’t know I would have ended up where I am.”
 
Featuring 10 songs all co-written by Gilbert with a trusted cast of long-time collaborators, the set matches Gilbert’s ink in both striking design and depth of meaning. Through flowing curves and jagged lines, shadow and light look back on a life of blue-collar pride and full-throttle rebellion – along with addictive love, abiding faith and blessings beyond what any of us deserve.
 
With today’s announcement, Gilbert shares a preview of the forthcoming project with “Me And My House” ft. Struggle Jennings and Demun Jones, a hand-over-heart declaration of purpose and a defiant tip of the hat to the independent country rap world Gilbert has always admired, as each collaborator wrote and performed their own verses.
 
“I believe that all of us are the kings and queens of our own castle, and I would never in a million years tell somebody how to run their home,” shares Gilbert. “It’s just about sharing how we run ours, what home is to us. I think it’s a song people won’t just relate to; I think it’s a song we need.”
 
In celebration of his new album Tattoos, Gilbert will headline Brantley Gilbert’s World’s Largest Album Release Party on Broadway in downtown Nashville on Friday, September 13. The free multi-artist concert is part of FREEDOM FRIDAY events kicking off the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix weekend (September 13-15). Presented by 1st Phorm Energy, with additional partnership from Rousch, Polaris, and Modern Buggy, the 4th annual FREEDOM FRIDAY concert honors members of the Military, Police, Fire, First Responders and Frontline Heroes. The 160th Special Ops Aviation Regiment will perform a helicopter aerial demonstration and a pre-concert flyover by the 101st Airborne Division.
 
With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer 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. But despite the mainstream success, his defining trait has been fierce independence – a quality you can’t fake in front of country fans. Tattoos just adds to the picture.
 
As lead single “Over When We’re Sober” with Ashley Cooke climbs the charts at country radio after being most added upon its debut, Gilbert’s headlining Off The Rails Tour continues this weekend with stops in Duluth, Minn., Council Bluffs, Iowa and Goddard, Kan.

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, set for release September 13, 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.
