REBELMATIC to Embark on Headlining December East Coast Tour

NYC hardcore punks REBELMATIC will be embarking on a North American headliner later this week! The trek will kick off on December 10 in Atlanta, GA and will run through December 17 in Memphis, TN. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found below.

REBELMATIC North American Tour Dates:

12/10: Atlanta, GA @ Utility Works [TICKETS]

12/11: Orlando, FL @ Conduit [TICKETS]

12/12: Cape Coral, FL @ Nice Guys [TICKETS]

12/15: New Orleans, LA @ Poor Boys

12/16: Little Rock, AR @ Whitewater

12/17: Memphis, TN @ Growlers [TICKETS]

Standing out as one of the most respected and nationally recognized Hardcore/Punk groups to emerge from the streets and stages and streets of New York in decades, Rebelmatic releases another vibey hard-rocking anthem that falls neatly in their growing list of tunes fans gleefully sing along with at shows.

Few bands in the pantheon of Black Rock Gods can boast that they have been lauded by

everyone from Bad Brains to David Byrne, and recorded with legends like Angelo Moore. The

boys from Brooklyn have accomplished this and much more. On the heels of their critically

acclaimed 2020 album Ghost In The Shadows and 2022 release Mourning Dove, the new

single pushes things up a few notches pushing them further into the territory of iconic NYC

rock bands.

The single is composed of the rawest, heaviest, heart-pounding and gut-wrenchingly groovy material to ever come out of NYC. Branching out in new directions from their previous hip hop influenced sound, Rebelmatic has evolved into a hybrid of punk, hardcore, and aggressive funk all their own.

Lineup:

Vocals - Creature

Guitar- Alkatraz

Bass- Karnage

Drums- Ramsey Jones

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 Queen and 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.

Reece Young Signs to UNFD + Shares Video For New Single "Dark"

New Jersey-born and raised Reece Young, who emerged and gained traction via his self-released early music, has signed to UNFD!

Young, now Nashville-based, is "one of us" — a music obsessive who has channeled his passion for the scene and his favorite artists into making his own and getting onto the stage himself. With a modus operandi of sharing tales of facing adversity, overcoming personal struggles, by tying open-vein vulnerability and authenticity to gargantuan choruses, the time is now for Reece Young to set about joining the big leagues and emulating what his heroes have done before him.

Speaking of his debut UNFD single "DARK," Young shares, "My goal with my music has always been to help listeners with whatever they are going through. When I was at my absolute lowest, relating to the lyrics in music was all i had in my corner supporting me. It truly saved my life, and I want to try and aid as many lives as I can with my own words."

"'DARK' is about the fear of death," he adds. "The chorus begs the question: What if we died out tomorrow? How would we be remembered? Will I have lived a fulfilling life? It's all too much to think about at once, at least for me. The goal with this track (and project to follow) was to make my mark on the scene I've admired from a far since before I even thought about making music myself."

EXOCRINE Are Larger Than Life on New Single

EXOCRINE have been blending ultra technical and extraordinarily rapid death metal with philosophical musings since 2015. But Legend marks a new chapter. While still choked-full of dissonant finger-tapping and glitchy breakdowns, the French band's new album rages from within.

"We see Legend as a reflection of our existence, of what we create and what we wish to love of ourselves in the end", says lead guitarist Sylvain Octor Perez.

Watch the destructive visualizer for new single "Life" below.

Legend comes out January 26.

Pre-order: https://redirect.season-of-mist.com/Exocrine-Legend
Pre-save: https://orcd.co/exocrinelegendpresave

"Life" takes you on an exhilarating journey through the realms of technical death metal. The new single is a relentless sonic force filled with ultra-technical guitar passages that weave seamlessly through thunderous drumbeats. All the while, Exocrine expand their interpretation of the genre, filling their destruction with atmospheric passages.

 

Here's what "Life" means for Exocrine bassist/vocalist Jordy Besse:

 

"Life" is for us a 'mise en abyme' of the failings of humanity through an
antagonist character who comes to shaking up what man believes to be at the
universe's scale."

Born from the depths of Bordeaux, France, EXOCRINE is a technical death metal juggernaut, a force that has redefined the very essence of the genre. Founded by the guitar-virtuoso Sylvain Octor-Perez, alongside the formidable talents of Nicolas La Rosa and Jordy Besse, this trio embarked on their relentless journey in 2013, marking the inception of a musical saga that would leave an indelible mark on the world of extreme music.

Exocrine's debut album, 'Unreal Existence,' unleashed in 2015, was nothing short of a revelation. It showcased the band's audacious creativity, instantly distinguishing them within the technical death metal scene. With labyrinthine compositions, ferocious riffs, and relentless drumming, Exocrine's music delved into uncharted territories of sonic complexity.

In the years that followed, Exocrine solidified their signature sound, with albums such as 'Ascension' in 2017 and 'Molten Giant' in 2018, upon the latter release, Théo Gendron joined as a new member – forming the current-standing quartet of musicians. These releases cemented their reputation as pioneers of the genre, pushing the boundaries of what technical death metal could achieve. The band's compositions are like sonic mazes, constantly evolving, keeping listeners captivated at every twist and turn.

Their 2022 release, 'The Hybrid Suns,' was yet another testament to their musical prowess. It demonstrated their unyielding commitment to pushing the envelope and exploring new realms of technical complexity.

Now, as the anticipation reaches a fever pitch, Exocrine is poised to release their next full-length opus, 'Legend.' This forthcoming masterpiece promises to be an epic chapter in their already storied career, destined to secure their place as legends within the hallowed halls of technical death metal.

Exocrine are architects of sonic transcendence, explorers of the uncharted, and pioneers of the unimaginable. With each release, they redefine the limits of technical death metal, and 'Legend' is poised to be their most audacious and groundbreaking endeavor yet, a true testament to their status as legends in the making.

New York indiepop artist ROSE ALAIMO releases 'A Place To Go When You Need To Hide' album

Ithaca, NY-based indiepop artist Rose Alaimo has released 'A Place To Go When You Need To Hide', her third full-length album. Honest, hopeful and emotive, this record follows Alaimo's internal struggles as she finds her way through darkness to exercise her own will-power, freedom of choice and self-empowerment.  It is no coincidence that this album entails an element of contrast between light and darkness.

Alaimo also presents the video for the album's first single 'Stars', which is about finding an unexpected moment of stillness in the midst of a crazy world.

"'A Place to Go When You Need to Hide' is a concept album, a story, about the high highs and low lows of life and how they can be a lot to navigate without losing ourselves in the waves. About how we all have a place inside of ourselves, where we can go when the world gets to be too much - where we can stop for a moment of stillness and, from here, actively *choose* how we want to move through whatever circumstances life presents us with. It is loosely based on the quote "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. And in that space lies our freedom and power to choose our responses. In our response lies our growth and our freedom" by Viktor Frankl," says Rose Alaimo.

"These songs were written during the worst parts of Covid, amid massive political unrest and racial tension in the US, an uptick in school shootings, the onset of Russia's war on Ukraine, and more generalized anger and tension between people than I have ever seen. These events also coincided with difficulties in my personal life, including a massive period of burnout surrounding my career and being diagnosed with long-term post-infectious Lyme disease. Lyrically and musically, the album chronicles parts of my own path as I navigated through this period of darkness."

Album on Bandcamp  https://rosealaimo.bandcamp.com/album/a-place-to-go-when-you-need-to-hide
Spotify  https://open.spotify.com/album/5gONKkLIwB6p0kIUlrBkE6
Apple Music  https://music.apple.com/us/album/a-place-to-go-when-you-need-to-hide/1701535593

A multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Rose Alaimo writes, sings, performs, programs, records and co-produces her own music.  Additional production and mastering was provided by Jamie Hill (Nada Surf, Zola Jesus, House of Pain), at Department of Energy Management in Tacoma, WA.

Having been involved in numerous music projects to date, she assimilates a diverse range of genres (from rock, metal and blues to folk and a cappella) into her own music. She also has a special obsession with creating vocal harmonies and is a veterinarian and vegetable farmer.

The emotional range of this album mirrors the intense highs and lows of life, from soft and dreamy lullabies, where we remember those we have loved who are no longer with us ('Stars'), to anthemic, thrashy songs protesting Russia's war on Ukraine and some of the unethical and dangerous world leaders we have seen at work over the last few years ('Resist The Force') . But there are also bright, upbeat pop-rock songs with shimmering vocal harmonies, calling us to remember and honor the interconnectedness that exists between all of us ('Power Lines').

Several pieces, inspired by dark blues and psychedelia, explore the difficulty of letting go of old, familiar, toxic patterns for something new and healthier due to the fear of making changes in a world that feels increasingly unstable ('The Devil That You Know'). The album wraps up with 'Here I Am', a grounding and hopeful reprise medley reminding us of the stillness and peace that we can find, even in times of trouble, and the importance of cultivating that peace - not only for ourselves, but for everyone around us.

Rose Alaimo debuted with her acoustic-based album 'The Importance of Centers' in 2019, followed by the gritty and anthemic 'Grow' in 2021.  Rose's lyrics trend toward the dreamy and existential with a voice that has been most commonly referred to as "honest." As a session musician, she has also collaborated on other projects with artists from Paris, Australia, LA, Alaska, and South Africa.

'A Place To Go When You Need To Hide' is out now and available via fine music platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music .

PROFILER - release video for new single 'ANIMO'

Today PROFILER have released a video for their new single 'ANIMO', the second track to be revealed from their upcoming debut album, A Digital Nowhere, that will be released on February 16th through SharpTone Records.

Vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans comments: "ANIMO is almost a continuation of Delay. It was written in the winter months while in a relationship during the lockdowns of Covid 19. This was a pretty dark time for a lot of people where the light seemed to fade due to the mass trauma of the pandemic. It is based around the importance of having people in your life to reach out to while you are going through tough times. It is about making mistakes and becoming reckless when all hope seems lost but learning from these experiences to transmute into self-guidance for future reference."

About PROFILER

Profiler is a Nu-Metal reawakening from the mind of vocalist and guitarist Mike Evans.
 
This band is inspired by those who have incited change in genres, arts, and theories. It's a weight of legacy that Profiler is comfortable shouldering, backed by SharpTone Records, its home since 2020.
 
After starting as a solo project in Bristol, UK, Mike stepped out from the studio and onto the stage, enlisting bassist/vocalist Joe Johnson and drummer Oscar Hocking. In early 2023, Oscar departed to be replaced by Brad Ratcliffe, cementing the line-up that would forge 2024's debut album, A Digital Nowhere.
 
Profiler's nu-metal-grunge-alt-rock, call it what you want, is an abrasive distorted soundscape that reverently glances back to those genres' heydays. Profiler is for anyone who misses or missed the contagious nineties Seattle grunge movement or the explosion of nu-metal that dominated the 00s and the genre-bending bands they made a path for.

PROFILER is:

Robben Ford's New Album "Night In The City" Is Out Now!

"If a live recording really represents the best of you – that's a real, and even rare success." — Robben Ford

Robben Ford is, without doubt, an exquisite blues guitarist, with a resume of collaborations reading like a veritable "Who's Who" of musical greats. It is for this very reason he can call upon some of the finest musicians out there to create a band that serves the music so well. That's why every album release is greeted with such excitement.

Each listen is a musical journey undertaken to discover the wonders of his latest opus. 

As a live performer, he is revered, pouring heart and soul into every note that travels from stage to audience. On his latest release Night In The City, this master of his craft is presented like never before. Recorded at City Winery, Nashville in 2021, it was Ford's first performance after the COVID lockdown — something which only added to the excitement and expectation from both band and crowd. As Ford stated, "It had been so long since playing a significant, live show that expectations were very much heightened. There was an edge that kept us all on our toes and the audience was hungry for a good time. They were very supportive, which was great, because we needed that."

The superlative musicianship throughout is a joy to behold and something Ford in his role as bandleader was able to reflect on, saying, "The fact that I had such a great band is what made the evening for me. Each musician was the perfect man for the job and that helps a band leader relax. All the guys are top, in-demand players."

NIGHT IN THE CITY is available now via earMUSIC as CD-digipak, 180g black vinyl in a gatefold sleeve and on all digital platforms.

Combining the beautiful with the brutal since 2020, Swansong have never shied away from breaking boundaries. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Dark Tranquillity, 90s melodeath, death and black metal, as well as Shadow Of Intent's modern sound, the band's vocals are a force to be reckoned with.

These ingredients, combined with kick-ass riffs, will transport you back to the vibes of the golden era of metal, while the Finnish four-piece adds its very own new twist to these elements with low female death growls and high pitched screams.

Coldwards Release New Single "Flatline" + Official Music Video

Alternative Metal band COLDWARDS released their new single "Flatline" along with the official music video to all major platforms via Wake Up! Music Rocks. "Flatline" is from their forthcoming EP Bad News.

"For us, 'Flatline' has a very personal meaning, it was written as a tribute to guitarist Wayne Swinny from Saliva who passed away in March but for the listeners it becomes an anthem for loved ones we lost way to soon," says Paul Crosby.

The band plans on hitting festivals in early 2024.

Coldwards (pronounced Cold-Words) is a five-piece rock band from Houston Texas comprised of drummer Paul Crosby of Grammy nominated + Gold and Platinum awarded Saliva (Click Click Boom, Always, Your Disease), as well as Paul's sons Sean Crosby (Vocals/Guitar) and Zac Crosby (Vocals/Electronics). Richie Hey is on bass and Michael Friese on guitar.

Together they make a powerhouse of heavy yet melodic riffs with immensely catchy hooks. Coldwards are a very percussive and vocal dominated style of music with chunky riffs and most of all deep lyrics with a message for today’s youth.

The band released their debut record Bloodwork on September 16, 2022.

EIHWAR Sign to Season of Mist

Embarking from the heart of France's dense and enchanting forests, Eihwar, a mysterious Viking duo, have found its sanctuary within the esteemed ranks of Season of Mist.

Eihwar sent shock waves over the Internet that are now echoing across the hallowed halls of European venues. These enigmatic warriors breathes life into pagan war songs with resounding drum beats and an elegant interplay of woodwinds and strings. Underpinning their Viking War Trance is an irresistible call to dance that will pull you into a rhythmic trance of your own.       

Now that Eihwar have joined Season of Mist, their hit single "Beserkr", along with nine other songs, are now available for the first time on all streaming platforms, as well as digital downloads from our online store. Each song not only demonstrates the thumping depths of their Viking spirit but stirs the warrior that lives inside us all.  

Watch the video for "Berserkr" below.

Stream: https://eihwar.fanlink.to/Ragnarok

Eihwar are preparing for their debut album, which is scheduled to come out next year.

"Brothers and sisters, today we are honored to join the Season of Mist family alongside Heilung, Eivør and many bands for whom we have great respect", says Eihwar. "To celebrate this event, our first demos are now available on all streaming platforms. We founded the Eihwar clan with old ropes, broken rocks and ashes. It is time to give the true measure of our fury. Our first album will be released before the end of 2024. Expect us."

Line-up:
Asrunn (Vocals, Traditional Percussion)
Mark (Vocals, Drum Pads, Samples)

Logo by: Eihwar

Style: Viking War Trance

Since their appearance on YouTube in February 2023, EIHWAR has shook the Internet and concert venues. Although no promotion has been made and nothing is known about the two musicians, most of EIHWAR's concerts are sold out and we already know that the band will be scheduled at big European festivals in 2024.

Being part of a new generation of neo-Viking bands, they produce an empowering and brutal dancefloor music, composed of hybrid sounds, trance vocals, shamanic drums, traditional Nordic sounds and powerful machines. EIHWAR is sacrilegious. As the web already says, the duo is a kind of new 'Viking Carpenter Brut'.

They are currently working on their first album which will be released before the end of 2024.

Ragnarök was produced, recorded and engineered by Saturne Mezzasalma and Antoine Aureche. 

Mixing and mastering also by Saturne Mezzasalma and Antoine Aureche.

NOT A TOY Share "simp" Video

 NOT A TOY released their debut album PRBLMS, which meshes bold flavors of alt-pop, hip-hop, R&B, and alternative into a unique blend, earlier this year via Fearless Records. 

Today, they have shared the video for the brand new song "simp," which does not appear on the album. Watch it below.

It's a chill and woozy track with an abundance of syncopated beats and delightfully lazy and low-key vocal style; it's the mid-afternoon dose of sonic serotonin that you need to get you through the rest of a long and busy day.

"We started playing 'simp' live while on tour with Beauty School Dropout and the feedback from the crowd every night has been so insane we decided to drop it ASAP," the band says. "It's such a dance-y record, we have so much fun playing it live, and hope people have just as much fun playing it at home now. It definitely transports us to a party right when we turn it on. And luckil,y we're going to be able to make a party out of the release day since we'll be in L.A. at the Troubadour right after it drops." 

NOT A TOY is both alt-pop band and close-knit collective, all collaborating on the writing, production, multi-instrumentation, and visual elements. Best friends since high school, they cut their teeth in the punk and emo scene playing gigs across the map. Soon forming NOT A TOY in 2020 and quickly signing to Fearless Records. Releasing their full-length debut PRBLMS in July, the album emerged during trying times for the band. With the group stating, "We were all at these different but similar crossroads in our lives, with so much uncertainty ahead, we decided to embrace those PRBLMS and make them into something beautiful."

NOT A TOY ON TOUR:
WITH BEAUTY SCHOOL DROPOUT:
12/5 — Portland, OR — Holocene
12/6 — Seattle, WA — Chop Suey
12/9 — San Francisco, CA — Brick and Mortar

'Limiteless' is the perfect word for this new adventure – it's what you'll feel in every track and every line we've poured our hearts into for this album. We can't wait for you to hear it."

Jordyn Shellhart Releases Cozy Christmas EP: 'Cross-Legged By The Fireplace'

Warner Music Nashville singer / songwriter Jordyn Shellhart is inviting fans to get cozy with her this holiday season with the release of her new Christmas EP, Cross-Legged By The Fireplace, available today. The news comes after Shellhart teased the release on social media earlier this week. Listen to the EP HERE. 
 
Produced by Cameron Jaymes, the holiday collection features a blend of timeless classics including Shellhart’s soulful take on Joni Mitchell’s “River,” a sweet and somber rendition of Ariana Grande’s contemporary holiday hit “Santa Tell Me,” and a duet with Austin Snell for an updated take on the Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani hit “You Make It Feel Like Christmas.” Rounding out the festive four-song EP is an acoustic version of Shellhart’s own melancholic holiday original “Coming To Town (Fireplace Version).”
 
“I made this EP for people who want their Christmas music to sound like mulling spices, watching snow fall gently with a single deer in the distance or sitting cross-legged by fireplaces,” shares Shellhart. “I hope this EP serves to enhance those specific activities this holiday season.” 

Known for her emotive storytelling and soulful melodies, Cross-Legged By The Fireplace is a testament to her versatile artistry, finding her effortlessly infusing holiday classics with her own unique style and capturing the spirit of the season in a moody and atmospheric way as only she can.

Earlier this year, she released her label-debut album, Primrose, to widespread acclaim with Billboard calling it “a collection that offers immense career promise,” Country Now declaring it “a work of pure artistry that will take listeners on a unique musical journey,” while Nashville Lifestyles said Shellhart “jumps the line of intriguing new songsmiths with her debut…evocative in style and voice.” 
 
Pulling foundational inspiration from artists such as Emmylou Harris and Kris Kristofferson and modern sensibilities of Taylor Swift and Kacey Musgraves, Shellhart has country music in her blood. Born in Wyoming and ultimately ending up in Nashville at the age of 10, Shellhart was thrown into the scene with a publishing deal at 14, followed by a record deal, Grand Ole Opry debut at 15 and on a country-wide tour by 16. In an anti-climactic, heartbreaking plot twist, she lost her voice in the midst of it all. 
 
Through a good number of twists, turns and worldview shakeups, she found herself singing again and racking up credits as a songwriter, including Little Big Town’s Grammy-nominated “Sugar Coat” and songs recorded by Kelsea Ballerini, Cody Johnson, Don Williams and more. Now, Shellhart continues to share her music through her own voice.
 
Cross-Legged By The Fireplace is available now on all major streaming platforms. For the latest updates, visit jordynshellhart.com and follow along @jordynshellhart on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. 

About Jordyn Shellhart:
Like a coming-of-age novel chronicling the heroine's passage from childhood to womanhood, singer/songwriter Jordyn Shellhart's 12-track Primrose ventures from joyful to introspective, providing intimate yet vivid glimpses into the Wyoming-native's most formative moments and milestones. Although her first full album for Warner Music Nashville, its refinement and sophistication stems from more than a decade as a signed writer, earning cuts by Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, Cody Johnson and Don Williams. Whether asking "Who Are You Mad At," crooning over not the loss of a lover but of their mother in "Tell Your Mother I'm Fine" or the retrospective "Maybe Someday You'll Have A Daughter," Shellhart's Primrose is the first chapter in what is sure to be a storied career. 

CHAYCE BECKHAM RELEASES “THIS OL’ RODEO,” AHEAD OF HIS PERFORMANCE AT NFR’S “RODEO WORLD 2023” ON DECEMBER 10 AT RESORTS WORLD LAS VEGAS

American Idol winner Chayce Beckham - who just made his Grand Ole Opry debut and wrapped Luke Bryan’s Country On and Farm Tours - today releases “This Ol’ Rodeo” via 19 Recordings/BBR Music Group/Wheelhouse Records, ahead of his show at NFR’s “Rodeo World 2023” on December 10 at Resorts World Las Vegas. As his entirely self-written, RIAA-PLATINUM hit single “23” surges toward Top 15 at US country radio and hit #1 at Canadian country radio, Beckham continues to showcase everything he and his music stands for - "pure, sincerely raw storytelling...pumping meaning into what country music is all about" (PopCulture), and "This Ol’ Rodeo” is no different. With his signature bluesy rasp at the forefront, a cowboy finds the one ready to take on his rugged ways in this new track anchored by a Cash-era, locomotion beat. Listen below.

“‘This Ol’ Rodeo’ is a song I’m excited to have out,” says Chayce. “It’s inspired by a close friend of mine. This one’s for all the cowboys and cowgirls out there, literally and figuratively. This song is about taking on something that might be a little bit wilder than you, trying to hang on, and loving it through the wins and losses whether it loves you back or not.” 

With his highly anticipated debut album on the way, “This Ol’ Rodeo,” follows the release of his captivating “Whiskey On The Wall,” the heart-pulsing “Little Less Lonely,” the gripping “Till The Day I Die” that he performed on American Idol earlier this year, the “heartbreak-induced insomnia” (Country Now) of “Keeping Me Up All Night,” and the incredible success of his debut EP Doin It Right that skyrocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes All Genre and Country charts. 

 

One of only three singles on the country radio chart this year that was self-penned by the artist, his smash debut “23” has become an anthemic staple in his live shows. Now RIAA-certified platinum, the semi-autobiographical song has racked up over 330 million on-demand streams and topped numerous viral charts, including #1 on iTunes All-Genre and Country charts. The first to ever win ABC’s American Idol with an original song, “23” is a deeply personal depiction of a man’s hardships, self-written during a particularly dark time in Beckham’s own life before he auditioned for the star-making competition series.

 

Since his history-making win, Beckham and his voice that Katy Perry said “sounds like the heart of America” has earned him critical acclaim from ABC’s Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel, E! News!, Billboard, People, CMT, PopCulture, Sweety High, American Songwriter and more.

About Chayce Beckham:

American Idol winner and “Artist to Watch” (Country Now, Country Swag, Music Mayhem Magazine, Sounds Like Nashville) Chayce Beckham is “no doubt a force to be reckoned with, while proving he will leave a scorching mark on the Country music genre for years to come” (PopCulture). “One of the most buzzed-about newcomers in Country music today” (Parade), Beckham’s debut EP Doin’ It Rightskyrocketed to No. 1 on iTunes All Genre and Country charts and received critical acclaim from E! News!, Billboard, People, CMT, PopCulture, American Songwriter, Sweety High and more. The first to ever win the competition show with an original song, his semi-autobiographical, self-written track “23” instantly shot to the top of numerous viral charts. Currently surging toward Top 15 at Country radio, Beckham’s “23” resonated so deeply with fans that it has continuously banked over 1 million on-demand streams per week since its 2021 release, amassing over 321 million thus far. A triple threat artist, Beckham is an incredibly captivating performer, powerhouse vocalist and talented songwriter who just made his Grand Ole Opry debut and wrapped Country superstar Luke Bryan’s 2023 Country On and Farm Tours. The rising country star, whose voice Katy Perry said “sounds like the heart of America,” went from working as a fork-lift driver to winning American Idol to appearing on Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel, andLive with Kelly & Ryan to becoming a truly prolific songwriter in the room with some of Nashville’s best. Recognized as one of 10 new Country artists “destined for killer careers” (Country Swag) and the “Next Big Thing” by MusicRow, the “full-fledged Country star” (CMT) - who is readying his highly anticipated debut album - has released several new tracks this year including the rugged “This Ol’ Rodeo,” the gripping “Whiskey On The Wall” and “Till The Day I Die” along with the heart-pulsing “Little Less Lonely,” continuing his rise as “one of the best new country artists to watch out for” (PopCulture).

Swedish progressive psychedelic rock band GAUPA has released a video for their digital single, 'Sömnen & Febersvan - Live At Monkey Moon Studios', a live rendition of two contrasting songs culminating in a captivating psychedelic experience.

It's the second excerpt from an intimate studio session the band played in late May 2023. Following their much-lauded appearances at both Desertfest London and Desertfest Berlin, GAUPA went to Monkey Moon Recordings in Dortmund, Germany and recorded three songs live over the course of an afternoon, 'Moloken' from their critically acclaimed most recent album Myriad as well as a breathtakingly intense 11-minute joint version of their songs 'Sömnen' and 'Febersvan', the former also from Myriad, the latter taken off of GAUPA's self-titled first EP. 

You can listen to the full session at all digital streaming services.

P.O.D. Share "AFRAID TO DIE" (Feat. Jinjer's Tatiana Shmayluk) Video

Platinum-selling rock juggernaut P.O.D. — Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel [guitar], and Traa Daniels [bass] — kicked off the fall with the video for their new single "DROP," which features a vicious vocal cameo from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe. It earned quick press accolades from Metal Injection, Consequence, Revolver, Idioteq, The Pit, Yahoo!, and Knotfest.

Today, the band is back with another blast and is sharing the video for the equally eruptive single "AFRAID TO DIE," featuring Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk.

Watch and listen below

It's an anthemic song with an edge — and the collaboration was born of P.O.D. and Jinjer's Fall 2022 tour.
 

"'AFRAID TO DIE' is a combination of cryptic and triumphant melodies," says Curiel. "It has storytelling rhymes and chugged verses, and a wide open, melodic yet semi-morbid, chorus. It's anthemic In every sense of the word."

He continues, "Our dear friend Tatiana Shmayluk offers her unique approach and we had incredible musical chemistry with her. This is P.O.D. hitting the human core of our existence and dealing with love, fear, integrity, and most of all, family and friends. It's ultimately an abundance of love and life."

ABOUT P.O.D.: 
They've been a band — and a vital one at that — for more than 30 years. But ask rock icons P.O.D. what still inspires them after all this time, and they'll tell you they still operate as if they're perpetual underdogs. Yes, with every new album they release, with every show they play, these musical lifers still feel they have something to prove. "We're still here and we're still creating some of the best music we've ever made," says guitarist Marcos Curiel. "When it comes to heart, grit and soul, P.O.D. is your band." Adds vocalist Sonny Sandoval: "We're always still proving who we are — always having that punk-rock mentality."
 
It's this mindset, this unrelenting grit that has long defined the platinum-selling P.O.D. and continues to do so as they march proudly into the next era of their long-winding journey of a career. Now, they are nearly five years removed from their previous studio album, Circles, which to date has been streamed more than 50 million times and spawned the hit "Listening to Silence." Earlier this year, the band returned with new single "DROP." The track is a sonic boom of a cut, and features a thrilling vocal turn from Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe. "Dude, it's the sickest thing ever," Curiel said of "DROP," which was inspired by the guitarist's longtime love of electronic music. "When that drop hits, everyone knows it," he adds. "We needed to create a song in that way…P.O.D. style."
 
P.O.D.'s audience has always been at the core of everything the band does, and to that end, their live shows remain essential to who they are. They've played major festivals including the Sick New World, INKcarceration and Hell and Heaven Fest, and have shared stages with the likes of KORN, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Evanescence and Seether.
