Alice Cooper Is Back With "Alice's Attic" Radio Show, Touring,

ALICE COOPER RELAUNCHES RADIO SHOW

"ALICE'S ATTIC" WILL SYNDICATE VIA SUPERRADIO

2024 IS SHAPING UP TO BE A BUSY YEAR FOR THE ROCK 'N' ROLL LEGEND, WITH LOTS OF TOURING ON DECK

You can't keep a rock 'n' roll legend off the airwaves!

Rock 'n' roll Hall of Famer ALICE COOPER is relaunching his long-running radio show today, Monday, February 5 with a new name and a new syndication partner.

"Alice's Attic" will now be syndicated via Superadio.

Cooper will be working with the same creative team from his long-running and much-loved "Nights With Alice Cooper" radio show and the new program will feature a curated mix of classic and some obscure rock, with an occasional "future classic" song, plus Cooper's stories and commentary about the music and artists he features.

New shows will air for five hours Monday through Thursday, with reconfigured shows on weekends. Local radio stations throughout the U.S. and Australia are already airing the show, with additional stations there, as well as in Canada and the UK expected to sign on shortly.

"To all of my insane radio minions, I'm BACK. And if you thought 20 years of 'Nights With Alice Cooper' was weird, just wait until you get into
'Alice's Attic!' Just think about who or what could be lurking in all these dusty old boxes. We've got the same team behind the new show and so you'll find the show fairly familiar, but we're all looking forward to getting a little more creative with introducing new elements to keep things from getting stale. Speaking of stale… what IS that smell??!"

2024 will be a busy year for Cooper, as he has lots of international touring on deck. He will be headed to Australia in April and to Europe in June and July.

Additionally, Cooper will return to the road in the U.S. for another summer trek with Rob Zombie. All dates are below, with additional dates to be announced soon.

Cooper's 29th album Road is out now via earMUSIC.

Savage Lands Purchase First Nature Reserve

Just a few months ago, 60,000 square feet of  rainforest along the Costa Rican coastline was going to get chopped down. Fortunately, the angry metalheads behind Savage Lands had other ideas.

Using royalties from their first-ever single, Dirk Verbeuren(Megadeth) and musician-turned-activist Sylvain Demercastel purchased an ecological easement that covers more than 90% of that endangered area. While Savage Lands doesn't own the property, not a single tree can be cut down thanks to their purchase.

Savage Lands is a 501 (c)3 non-profit that's co-operated by Dirk and Sylvain. Using donations, fundraising efforts and their own song royalties, they partner with other non-profits, scientists, engineers and metalheads to build nature sanctuaries, establish green zones and other land preservation projects.  

Music fans can support Savage Lands just by listening to their music. 100% of all royalties go to supporting their reforestation efforts.   

Watch the video for "The Last Howl", which features Andreas Kisser  (Sepultura) and John Tardy (Obituary).

Heavy metal tends to obsess over death and destruction. But thanks to Savage Lands, the genre's heaviest hitters are banging their heads together to protect the Costa Rican rain forest.

Named after their joint passion for savage heavy metal and wildlife preservation, Savage Lands was founded in 2022 by Dirk and Sylvain Demercastel, who's a Costa Rica resident.

"Hearing the chainsaw on a daily basis, because of a recent real estate fever destroying Costa Rica's ecosystem, we thought it was time to start a new type of action", says Sylvain. "We are reaching out to this great active community of metalheads."

Plenty of big names have signed on to join the army of trees that Savage Lands is growing across Costa Rica. Along with Obituary and Sepultura, members of Heilung, Gojira, Testament and Lord of the Lost have all pledged their support. 

Season of Mist recently announced their partnership with Savage Lands. This marks the first time that  a record label has partnered and released music with a non-profit organization.

Fittingly, "The Last Howl" is a howling tribute to the howler monkey, an endangered species in Costa Rica. Verbeuren hammers out thunderous fills and pinging cymbals, while Sylvain rains down heavy pangs of distortion.

"The Last Howl" packs added fury thanks to some special guests. Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser rips off not one, but two acrobatic solos, and swamp king John Tardy (Obituary) unleashes his inner primate with some ferocious, spit-flinging growls.            

"When Dirk first received the instrumental demo, he immediately had John Tardy in his mind for some vocals", Sylvain says. "He made the link between the howler monkey's scream and the more melodic chorus of the song.

"Less than 24 hours after reaching out to John through a common friend, we received a YES from Tardy, and knew it was going to be the start of a great adventure."

Artists occasionally support causes through donations to organizations. With SAVAGE LANDS, Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren teamed up with his guitar-wielding friend Sylvain Demercastel to create their own US 501(c)3 non-profit.

Savage Lands raises money for reforestation & the creation of sanctuaries free of human destruction. Using their own royalties, donations and other fundraising efforts, the organization builds nature sanctuaries, establishes green zones and other land preservation projects. They partner with other non-profits, scientists and forest engineers, as well as Decibel Magazine and Season of Mist.

"If you want to make a difference, take action! Our greatest hope with Savage Lands is that it will inspire you to join us, and if you can, to start your own initiative to help preserve animals, forests, and our planet", says Dirk.

The Nomadic Release New Single “Treading Water" + Official Music Video

Following the successful release of first album My Mind is Racing in January 2022, The Nomadichas released its first single “Treading Water” from the upcoming album New Horizons.

Singer Songwriter Rob Gaylard relocated home to Sydney Australia in February 2022 after 5 years as a regular feature of the New York City indie rock scene. He recorded New Horizons with Dan Frizza in Sydney at Forbes Studios. The Nomadic is the best of Aussie rock talent, with Miles Thomas (Lior, Ronan Keating, Montaigne) on drums, Oliver Thorpe (The Whitlams, Matt Corby, Meg Mac) on guitar, and Brendan Clark (Meg Mac, Montaigne, Jack River) on bass. Dan Frizza as producer lends the kind of magic touch that has seen him enrich the work of the likes of Tones & I, King Princess, and Gurrumul.

"Treading Water" is a languid, loping Americana alt rock tune very much in the style of the War on Drugs. The song builds up from a simple acoustic guitar progression and a subtle string arrangement, and then quickly builds momentum with an urgent guitar riff and atmospheric overlays/ overdubs.

As the song progresses, the listener has the sensation of being trapped underwater with the ocean seeping into ones’ body (a sensation enhanced by the gentle but urgent vocal tones of “I can feel it seeping through my brain”).

"Treading Water" is a song of narrative and storytelling and explores the themes of being ‘stuck’ (“pressure’s building to a crescendo. I can feel myself going insane”). The chorus encapsulates the tension at the heart of the song “spend a lifetime treading water... trying to gently float to shore. do what you gotta. Do what you outta”.

The music video, released today on YouTube, contrasts the entrapment of an office type/ corporate environment, with the freedom of the ocean, where the protagonist escapes, whilst haunted by flashbacks to a former life.
WATCH it Below.

Australian guitarist and singer/songwriter Robert Gaylard brings a unique perspective and vision when it comes to creating music. His inspiration and passion for starting The Nomadic began early on as a child after traveling to many countries like Myanmar (formerly Burma), Singapore and the Solomon Islands. His “nomadic” lifestyle continued on into his adulthood when he began to work for the United Nations in various countries such as: Kenya, Somalia, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Israel and Palestine. His travels eventually brought him to New York in September of 2012 and motivated him to pursue his songwriting by establishing an indie rock band.

The Nomadic released its debut single "Drifting" in September of 2019, "Waiting" was released in April of 2020; "Beyond Blue" and "Manhattan View" in June; "Walk the Streets" in October; and "Jeannie" in January 2021. These were followed up by "Skaterpark," in February 2021 and "Under a Georgia Sky" in June 2021. “Grand Mistakes”released December 3, 2021, and the single "My Mind is Racing" released in January off 2022, accompanied by the album of the same name.

Influenced by artists like Oasis, Radiohead, The Verve, Bruce Springsteen, Phosphorescent, The War on Drugs, Arizona and The 1975, The Nomadic produces a sound genre like no other as alternative rock meets blues with hints of Americana and pop.

Having been originally influenced by numerous cultures and ways of life, The Nomadic promotes and advocates for issues of social action and innovation, human rights, support for minorities, as well as doing the next right thing, including the idea that it is never too late, including for people to follow their dreams and passions.

BEING AS AN OCEAN Celebrate Release Of New Album With Music Video For New Track "Gloom"

Melodic hardcore trailblazers Being As An Ocean have released their much-anticipated new album 'Death Can Wait' (out now via Out Of Line Music) today. In celebration of the release, the band have also shared an evocative visualizer for focus track "Gloom". The album is available now on all major platforms HERE. Watch the official music video for Gloom Below.

"Gloom" presents a raw and introspective look at the personal battles we all face. The track underscores the band's signature blend of emotive storytelling and layered soundscapes, speaking to the resilience of the human spirit. Speaking on the themes and inspiration for the new track, Being As An Ocean share

"Gloom is a song about recognizing our own personal demons and the character flaws that we all have. With self-awareness, we can begin to see when they pop up and poke their heads into our lives. We can fight back. Each of us have different 'monsters' inside of us, but that also means with practice and growth, we each have different heroic qualities in us. These are the positive things that we must grow and foster out of necessity to fight our own personal mental battles. We then take those strengths and bring them into the physical world as forces of change for good. The song is an encouragement to anyone who is struggling with an internal battle. As long as you continue to fight and persevere, with grace, acceptance, and love for yourself, you will grow more than you could have ever imagined. We can slay or at least tame the monsters in us,"

Today's release of 'Death Can Wait' was preceded by singles "Death Can Wait", "Swallowed By The Earth", "Flesh And Bone" and "The Fullness of My Being". Combined with the 6 new tracks released today, 'Death Can Wait' is another extremely personal set of songs loaded with pure emotion that continue the band's legacy of crafting deep, introspective music that speaks to the soul and offers a profound and introspective journey through the band's latest musical explorations.

Being As An Ocean have just begun a UK & European tour next month with Currents on their 'The Death We Seek UK/EU Tour' with Oceans Ate Alaska and Sentinels. For tickets and for more info, head HERE.

Ace Frehley Releases New Single "Walkin' on the Moon"

Preorder Album Here

(February 2, 2024) RRHOF-inductee and guitar legend Ace Frehley releases a new single, "Walkin' on the Moon," today. This is the second track from Ace's forthcoming album, 10,000 Volts, which will be released on February 23, 2024.  Produced and co-written by Ace and Steve Brown, the uncontainable energy on the 11-tracks showcases some of Ace's best works since his '78 solo album.

On "Walkin' On The Moon," Ace's voice rings out between towering distortion as a lovestruck hook echoes, “When I wake up, you’re all I see. You got me walkin’ on the moon!” His string bends practically engage in a call-and-response with the refrain while another celestial solo resounds. An alt-cover, solar flare vinyl variant of this single is available now HERE.

The entertaining visualizer was directed by Alex Kouvatsos from Black Wolf Imaging. Watch below!

Ace will also meet fans in NYC at an in-store on Saturday, February 24th from 1-5 pm at Sam Ash, 333 West 34th Street, NYC. For priority access to the event, fans can preorder an exclusive, in-store, vinyl variant (500 qty; clear with 3-color splatter) HERE.  The first in-store variant (500 QTY; bubblegum vinyl) sold out in 48 hours. Purchase is limited to two per customer, and fans who purchase either or both variants can pick them up at the in-store. In addition, the standard CD will also be available for purchase at the event. Ace will sign all versions of his new album.

Ace previously released the title track, "10,000 Volts."  The video has amassed over 2m streams and over 1m views. Watch the video here.

Rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal simply wouldn’t sound, look, or feel the same without Ace Frehley. Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss. Guitar World named him in the Top 15 of its “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time” and plugged the lead from “Shock Me” on the “50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.Magnifying the imprint of his catalog as a solo artist, Foo Fighters cut a fan-favorite cover of “Ozone,” and he even jammed out “New York Groove” alongside The Roots on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The late Dimebag Darrell of Pantera proudly sported a tattoo of Frehley on his chest, while Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine celebrated him on X/Twitter as “My first guitar hero.

10,000 Volts
 upholds an incredible legacy for Frehley, spanning 50-plus years in the limelight. Back in 1978, he delivered his solo debut, Ace Frehley. It reached platinum status and exploded as “the highest-selling of the four Kiss solo albums in the Soundscan era. Pitchfork even retrospectively rated it a rare “8.5” score. In 1987, he dropped Frehley’s Comet. Following Anomaly in 2009, he went on to make history once again. His 2014 Space Invader LP captured #9 on the Billboard 200 and emerged as “The only solo album by a past or current Kiss member to reach the Top 10 on the chart.” 2016’s Origins Vol. 1, bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart and in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart. He notably maintained his momentum with Spaceman [2018].

STELLAR CIRCUITS RELEASE 'SIGHT TO SOUND' DELUXE EDITION AHEAD OF U.S. & EUROPEAN TOURS

North Carolina’s stellar progressive metal band STELLAR CIRCUITS has announced the release of a Deluxe Edition of their breakthrough album, Sight To Sound, out now from Nuclear Blast Records.

Commenting on the Sight To Sound Deluxe Edition and tour, vocalist Ben Beddick says:

We’re excited to finally release the extra tracks from the Sight to Sound recordings. Overall we felt  that these songs were best presented as a deluxe or extended version of the album.

The fact that this release coincides with our first ever international tour makes it that much better. We cannot wait to play these new songs for the fine folks of these European nations. It will be a dream come true.

About STELLAR CIRCUITS:

Formed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Over the quartet’s lifespan, they’ve managed to fulfill their own prophecy, formulating a core sound that is complex and layered, while providing a listenability that extends well beyond the rock genre. Visceral, intellectual, groovy, technical, and melodious are rarely indicators that can all be used to describe the aural essence of one band. In the case of Stellar Circuits, the rare combination makes a striking and definitive appearance in all they do. 
 
The Winston-Salem, NC foursome followed their 2015 debut EP with their first full-length album in 2018. Ways We Haunt would be recorded with North Carolina’s own Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, He Is Legend), a legend in his own right, bringing his signature touch to Stellar Circuits’ first long form release. 
 
Generating significant attention, especially from the band’s more veteran industry peers, Stellar Circuits would go on to be invited as special guests on Chevelle’s 2021 N.I.R.A.T.I.A.S. tour. Completing a nationwide trek that introduced Stellar Circuits to a significantly broader audience, the foursome immediately saw their fanbase increase exponentially, prompting a shift in their attention to a new record with which they could continue to build on the solid foundation they had since established.

Sight to Sound, Stellar Circuits’ sophomore release, sees the band working once again with Jamie King to convey their growth and expansion on what they do best. Vocalist frontman Ben Beddick highlights the forward momentum, relaying how the band “wanted to push past the point of comfort when writing this music. To make something real and honest that we can all stand by.” 
 
Released in 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records, Sight to Sound expands upon the progressive and groove-centric nature of the band; combining a heaviness, a catchiness, and strength of composition with technical proficiency that results in Stellar Circuits’ most polished release to date. Vocalist Ben Beddick further expands on the writing process and the record’s trajectory, marking a “turning point around the beginning of the writing process that steered us toward a particular conceptual direction. Moving closer to an understanding of the perception of our senses. This record is meant to serve as a sort of invocation. A sense of qualia. The term ‘synesthesia’ comes to mind…”.  

Comprised of vocalist Ben Beddick, bassist Jesse Olsen, guitarist Jared Stamey and drummer Tyler Menon, the North Carolina quartet produce an effective and unparalleled coalescence that will undoubtedly excite new listeners while more than satisfying long-term followers. Featuring 11 original tracks that are poised to impress even the most discerning of aficionados, Sight to Sound puts the global music landscape on notice that Stellar Circuits has definitively arrived.

Enterprise Earth Unleash New Album 'Death: An Anthology' via MNRK Heavy + Drop "Blood and Teeth" Official Music Video

"It's hard to make a five-minute deathcore song interesting from start to finish, and Enterprise Earth nailed it on "The Reaper's Servant"... It's big. It's bold. It bangs." - Revolver

"Offering an initial glimpse of the devastation packaged onto the project, Enterprise Earth have shared an eviscerating first single in "King of Ruination" featuring Ben Duerr from Shadow of Intent. Coupled with a unnerving visual directed by Nick Chance, the future for Enterprise Earth couldn't look brighter." - Knotfest.com

"The djent is strong in the Washington deathcore stalwarts' latest, which is all ultra-low-tuned chug, pitch-shifter squeals and syncopated stop-start riffs that will flip your stomach - not to mention a solo so technical and unsettling it would make Fredrik Thordendal jealous." - Guitar World

"... "King of Ruination", a sprawling, technical, foreboding piece of dark magic. Bile-drenched one moment, beautifully crafted the next, it's an incredible place to kick off such a thoughtful and thrilling chapter." - idobi Radio

Release Day is upon us, and Enterprise Earth has unleashed upon the world their hotly-anticipated new album 'Death: An Anthology' (via MNRK Heavy). In celebration of the news, the band shared their intensely brutal yet deeply poignant latest offering "Blood and Teeth" along with the accompanying music video. Speaking about "Blood and Teeth", the band shared:

"'Blood and Teeth' lays out a gut-wrenching story of poisonous attachment, a cycle of self-harm and submission to the tragic realization of how much pain one can put themselves through for the sake of another’s admiration. Musically, this is the most elaborate song on 'Death: An Anthology'.

Moving through a clean piano intro, to blazing leads over a catchy groove, to death metal riffage, to a catchy metalcore adjacent chorus, to a dare we say sexy bridge, only to unleash the filthiest breakdown of the album at the end. The video is a direct visual representation of this and we hope it evokes an emotional response similar to the ones felt in its production."

When asked about the album, guitarist, backing vocalist, and producer Gabe Mangold commented:

"I consider 'Death: An Anthology' to be our most expressive, intense, diverse, and finest work that Enterprise Earth has ever achieved so far and I hope I can say that with every body of music that we release. This album was SO much fun to create from every facet and while there are many peaks of brutality and valleys of melodic expressiveness, I hope the listener experiences the same emotions while listening that we did while creating: sheer enjoyment, empowerment, unity, catharsis, and so much more. Drown in Abyss, let it take us."

Leading up to today, the band has previously released "King of Ruination" with special guest Ben Duerr from Shadow of Intent"The Reaper's Servant" featuring Darius Tehrani of Spite, and "Casket of Rust". Stream 'Death: An Anthology' in all of its unrelenting glory here and snag band-exclusive vinyl formats of the album in "Black Ice" and "Inferno" (available here) and in "Ghostly" and "Copper Nugget" formats through the MNRK Heavy Shop here. Watch the music video for "Blood and Teeth" below.

More than anything else, we share death in common. This universal eventuality unites us. In an evolutionary sense, it effectively ensures our equality. No matter who you are, you will die. Enterprise Earth explore death from a different perspective altogether. Rather than turn away from it, the U.S. quartet—Gabe Mangold [guitar, backing vocals, production], Brandon Zackey [drums], Travis Worland [vocals], and Dakota Johnson [bass]—face it head-on with their fifth full-length offering, DEATH: AN ANTHOLOGY [MNRK HEAVY]. Against an apocalyptic soundtrack of battering ram double bass drums, gut-punching guitars, and disarmingly dynamic vocals, the group present their most immersive and inimitable vision yet.

“The album is tied together by the overarching concept of death,” Travis states. “It’s easy to think of death as a separation of consciousness from the body, but we’re delving into the death of self, individuality, and relationships—whether romantic or platonic. Dying takes many forms. I grew up extremely religious, so death has always been on my mind. In any religion, the afterlife is the umbrella for all of your beliefs. I tend to think of death from a more philosophical standpoint these days.”

The band have always incited mosh pits and thought in equal measure. Since emerging during 2014, Enterprise Earth have logged two back-to-back debuts in the Top 10 of the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, while Loudwire cited Luciferous among the “50 Best Metal Albums of 2019.” Hysteria Mag heralded 2022’s The Chosen as “a veritable masterclass in experimentation and reinvention that shows a highly skilled band transcending its roots and making steps to become leaders of a field still being created,” while Metal Injection summed it up as “a strong statement.” Plus having toured with the likes of Thy Art Is MurderDying FetusChelsea GrinFit For An AutopsyFallujahWithin Destruction, and more.

With Gabe once again in the producer’s chair, the musicians holed up in a Lake Tahoe cabin for nine days where they penned the bulk of DEATH: AN ANTHOLOGY. It marked the first time this lineup wrote together (and in-person) as well as with Travis on vocal duties.

“We fed off one another’s energy,” recalls Gabe. “These songs felt cohesive because of that. We all had a hand in the composition.”

In the end, death may be inevitable, but you can rely on Enterprise Earth for a release in the meantime.

“We wanted to make an album that feels like who we are as a collective,” the band agreed. “On the one hand, we hope you have fun listening to it. On the other, just know, ‘Death is real and it comes for us all’. One day, we won’t be here anymore. While we’re alive, we want to enjoy it.”

Reconciler Release New Album "Art For Our Sake"

 RECONCILER SHARE NEW ALBUM ART FOR OUR SAKE  VIA SMARTPUNK RECORDSLISTEN

Reconciler is delivering true punk hits on their thoughtful, high-energy new album Art For Our Sake. The album features artwork hand-painted by vocalist and visual artist Joseph Lazzari, representing the band's hands-on approach to their music.

The band released three albums ahead of the release: Shots in The Dark, Never Fade Away, and Art For Our Sake.

"This isn't 'Art For Art's Sake.' It doesn't stand alone, devoid of intention, symbolism, opinion, or the essence of the human spirit. This record is bound to us. We made it as an extension of ourselves with the intention of connecting more deeply with our community. This is Art for Our Sake," says the band's vocalist Joseph Lazzari

Reconciler is a band from Atlanta, GA who first amplified in the summer of 2016. Harkening to a sound alternately Southeast and East Bay, they released their debut LP, Set Us Free, in February of 2019 to critical acclaim from punk and Americana outlets alike. The band spent 2019 playing often across the Southeast and East coast and announced their first European shows, slated for June 2020. Shortly After the first anniversary of Set Us Free, the world shut down and all plans were canceled indefinitely. Reconciler wouldn’t see another stage for 18 months despite releasing a split 7 inch with the legendary Gainesville outfit, Ship Thieves in January of 2021 and offering another new track on the Grace vinyl comp alongside many noteworthy acts including Hot Water Music, Samiam, and Catbite the following October. Reconciler has been hard at work rebuilding and refining its focus and is beyond ready to return with their sophomore album, Art For Our Sake, via Smartpunk Records. This 13 track LP stands as a testament to the band’s tenacity and work ethic and is certain to offer Reconciler’s strongest output to date.

ABOUT SMARTPUNK RECORDS:
Smartpunk has been a recognizable name in the scene for a long time (remember that sponsored Warped Tour stage?!). After exchanging several hands and countless ideas of what it could and should be, they decided to start a record label in 2016 with the main idea of focusing solely on reissuing records that have been out of print or never on vinyl. After all, they’re a label of vinyl dorks themselves! After releasing Set Your Goals' "Mutiny" and Gameface's "Good,” they started to venture into signing newer bands. They actively balance in between many worlds—putting out amazing music from friends and bands that rock, reissuing older titles, and partnering with other incredible labels in our scene and doing exclusive color variants of their releases.

"Since forming the record label, Smartpunk Records has released timeless albums such as Less Than Jake’s Anthem, Nominee’s Lowlife, RIVALS’ Sad Looks Pretty on Me, Virginity's POPMORTEM, and melodic skate punkers The Swellers' My Everest."

Windwaker Return With Video for New Single "Fractured State of Mind"

Australia's WINDWAKER — vocalist Liam Guinane, guitarist Jesse Crofts, bassist Indey Salvestro, drummer Chris Lalic, and synths/samples specialist Connor Robins — have returned with a brand new banger for your listening pleasure.

Today, the band has shared the new single "Fractured State of Mind." Watch the video below.

"Fractured State of Mind" is aptly named. It's a glorious musical mindfuck that will make both your head and body tingle with its ferocity. The band cross-pollinates '90s-inspired electronic flourishes, synths, blood-chilling screams, gnarly riffs, and breakdowns with soaring choruses, clean vocals, and a heap of hooks. The song quietly fades out but leaves one helluva mark. It's a perfect execution of brutal and beautiful. 

"'FSoM' showcases a darker, heavier take on our sound without sacrificing the melodies and experimental sound design Windwaker is known for," the band offers. "It's an anthem of frustration, born from battling the forces that try to dictate how we think and live. It's a wild ride that dives deep into the chaos of a messed-up world, yet still hooks you with a chorus that's as catchy as it is rebellious."

"Fractured State of Mind" is the first new music from the band since they dropped the video for the brand new single "SIRENS" in 2023. You can watch that video here.

Windwaker released their Fearless Records debut Love Language in 2022.

Stay tuned for more from the band... because it's coming.

Britnee Kellogg Releases New Single "Love Thy Neighbor" via ONErpm

Love Thy Neighbor,” a sassy song about a woman noticing the woman two doors down showing (in her opinion) a little too much southern hospitality to her neighbors, is Britnee Kellogg’s new release on global music company ONErpm. Listen Below.
 
Produced by Autumn McEntire and Jared Conrad and written by McEntire, Riley Thomas and Sarah Turner, “Love Thy Neighbor” has already gone viral on multiple platforms, making it an easy choice when it came time to pick Kellogg’s next single. It is a funny, upbeat, lighthearted song that will get you dancing, laughing and singing along:
 
     I know I should love thy neighbor, like I love myself
     If it’s wrong to hate her, I’m headed straight to hell
     Cause the girl next door don’t stay next door, and I ain’t one to judge
     But she’s a serial heartbreaking home wrecker, who likes to love thy neighbor too much
 
A Vancouver, Wash., native, Kellogg’s love of country music started at age 6 when she attended a Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash concert. Smitten from the first note, Kellogg knew even then she had found her chosen career. Today, you’ll find her sharing the stage with artists such as Blake Shelton, Eric Paslay, Lee Brice, Kane Brown, Jon Pardi and Keith Urban. You may have also seen her on seasons 11 and 12 of American Idol.
 
Kellogg is currently performing on stages across the U.S., writing new music and recording in the studio. She is booked exclusively by The Kinkead Entertainment Agency of Nashville. For more information, visit BritneeKellogg.com or follow along on FacebookInstagram and TikTok @BritneeKellogg. Look for her full length recording project available this summer.

ONErpm's William Michael Morgan Releases New Single "Not Letting Go"

Country neo-traditionalist William Michael Morgan, called “stellar” and “a leading artist of this style” by MusicRow’s Robert K. Oermann, is releasing the powerful new ballad “Not Letting Go” today on all platforms via ONErpm Nashville. Listen Below.
 
“Faith, hope and love are some of the best things God gives us,” says Morgan, who co-wrote “Not Letting Go” with Dan Huston and Sam Banks. “The greatest, in my opinion, is love, and it’s not always easy. As much as we want to do the right thing and keep love going—it may not be worth it to keep it anymore, and letting go is the only way to learn, grow and truly know and show love,” Morgan explains.
 
Multiple CMA, ACM and GRAMMY Award-winning producer Keith Stegall produced “Not Letting Go” as part of Morgan’s upcoming EP, which will also feature the critically acclaimed “In Walked You.”
 
Morgan’s new music is a welcomed addition to the increasingly popular neo-traditional movement that country music websites like Saving Country Music have credited him with starting. 

“Tim Wipperman, Ryan Cunningham and the whole ONErpm team really believe in the kind of music we are making,” Morgan notes and says working with the legendary Stegall “is something I’ve wanted my whole career.”
 
He is managed by Joe Carter and Mike Taliaferro of Carter and Co.; booking is handled by The Kinkead Entertainment Agency, Nashville.

About CHASE WRIGHT
CHASE WRIGHT is doing more than make his childhood dreams come true: he’s introducing himself as a bold new Nashville artist with a freewheeling approach to the genre, firm footing in relatable storytelling and soft spot for big choruses. Respect for country music’s way around a story without feeling beholden to it defines the Indiana native’s energetic songs, which rely on electric loops and pop-rock chords alongside more traditional sounds made from steel strings and wood. It’s a confident blend that belies the fact that Wright first picked up a guitar as a freshman track star at DePauw University. After graduating with a degree in economics, Wright packed his bags for Nashville, where he has since earned a publishing deal with Toby & Molly Music and signed with Morris Higham for management. 2022 was a breakout year for the rising star who was recognized by Spotify as a Hot Country Artist to Watch and named among SiriusXM’s Highway Finds class. Most recently, Wright was recognized among Pandora’s Artists to Watch 2023: Country list. Following the 2021 release of his debut album Intertwined, Wright continues to roll out new music. In total, fans have streamed his music to the tune of 230 million times.

Bryce Leatherwood Releases "Neon Does" as He Hits the Studio for Debut Project

Republic Records / Universal Music Group Nashville recording artist Bryce Leatherwood is starting the new year with new music: the neotraditional, line dance ready “Neon Does,” out now. Listen HERE.  
 
“Y’all I am so excited to share my song ‘Neon Does,’” shares Leatherwood. “This is the first song I’ve written to be released to the public and I am amped up to hear what y’all think! God bless country music and let the neon do what the neon does."
 
Written by Leatherwood along with Matt McKinney and Alex Maxwell and produced by Will Bundy, the track finds the Woodstock, Georgia native waxing poetic about the intoxicating effects of neon lights on the dance floor. It’s the first taste of new music to come in 2024, as the rising star hits the studio with Bundy to begin recording his debut full-length project.
 
On the inspiration for the song, Leatherwood recalls, “The write happened pretty quickly. I was wanting to write something fun and upbeat that people would love to dance to. Someone threw out the line ‘Neon Does’ and it immediately sparked thoughts of Brooks and Dunn’s ‘Neon Moon’ and Chris Young's ‘Neon.’ Once that idea was shared, the song just came out...I think we had it written in less than 90 minutes!”
 
A Georgia Southern University alum, Leatherwood began honing his craft in college, playing local venues and fostering his country music repertoire. At Georgia Southern, he formed his band in late 2021 and began playing all around the Southeast.
 
After graduating college, he competed on the NBC hit television show The Voice and was crowned the Season 22 winner in December of 2022. Following his success on The Voice, Leatherwood began pursuing a full-time music career, signing with Republic Records and Universal Music Group Nashville in October 2023. 
 
Leatherwood is currently recording and will be releasing new music throughout 2024. For the latest news and upcoming tour dates, visit bryceleatherwood.com and follow along on FacebookInstagram, X and TikTok

WICKED ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, “GORGEOUS," AND US TOUR WITH RAVEN STARTS MARCH 24TH, 2024

One of today's most theatrical rockers, Wicked, has announced that February 2nd will mark the release of their newest single and video, "Gorgeous" – taken from the group's upcoming full-length, 'Sunburn.' 
 
As part of the band's cross country road trip from NY to California, the video shoot for "Gorgeous" landed singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar in the LA Barbie dream house owned by Vogue photographer Jaime Nelson. The song touches on the relatable heart string of eternal lasting love after a love-lost break up and all the confusion that goes along with it.
 
The single can be pre-saved via lnk.to/gorgeouspresave, while the video can be viewed below.
 
The clip sees actress/model Megan Davison revisiting boyfriends haunting her from the past and all of their character flaws. Watch and see who was the worst boyfriend and what she does to move on from a love-lost with each member of the band! 
 
"These boys are like working with a pack of squirrels, yet this was the coolest project I've ever done and I'm so happy I stopped at their house and nominated myself to star in the video" - Megan Davison
 
And all four band members are overjoyed with how "Gorgeous" the video came out…
 
"I like how our characters are sadistically so similar to our own personalities...can you tell?!" - Danny 
 
"I could just quit it all and stay to be Jamie Nelson's pool boy. God she is incredible." - Chad Michael 
 
"Wait till the haters hear this song! Their heads are going to explode when they realize this isn't another Guns N' Roses wannabe tune. I hope it makes them uncomfortable!" - Gunnar 
 
"Megan says I'm a pain in the ass, but I'm a rockstar! What do you expect? Who is the real star of this show?!" - Scotty V
 
Also, Wicked just returned from Tampa, FL after playing in front of 400k people at Gasparilla on the Voodoo Chef / Monster Energy Float! "The only thing better than partying at Gasparilla on a sunny 80 degree day in January, is getting to debut our latest single 'Gorgeous' to seas of people along the parade route!" - Chad Michael

Additionally, Wicked will be joining forces with Raven (who were one of the leaders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, that also spawned Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and Saxon)  for a string of dates in spring 2024 – of which one of the highlights of their live set will undoubtedly be "Gorgeous"!

KMFDM releases ‘LET GO’ album via Metropolis Records, gears up for March U.S. tour

Iconic music mavericks KMFDM have released their much-anticipated album 'LET GO' via Metropolis Records. Celebrating 40 years of conceptual continuity in grand style, KMFDM is doin’ it again, rising up lean and mean. 'LET GO' marks the group’s 23rd studio album, with the core lineup of Sascha “Käpt’n K” Konietzko, Lucia Cifarelli, Andy Selway and Andee Blacksugar presenting their signature onslaught of pulse-pounding rhythms, scorching electronics, blistering guitars, and vocals full of grit, growl, and grind addressing the social, political, and cultural ills of a world in perpetual turmoil.

The album arrives hot on the heels of the banger 'LET GO' and the latest single 'AIRHEAD' with its accompanying 210 Media-produced video taking us on a sentimental joyride down memory lane through a bygone era of American life.

Defying common definitions and shredding pre-conceived notions about who or what KMFDM is or isn’t genre-wise, this unique gem lyrically harkens back to growing up in America during the 70s and 80s. It'll have you reminiscing with a wink and a laugh as Lucia Cifarelli sings: "Born the year of the Chia pet - Blondes were in, but I’m brunette - Vietnam and Donkey Kong - I was busy getting high with Cheech & Chong.”

From the driving techno, dance and funk-infused thrust of 'LET GO' to the airily melodic and swirling vibes of 'AIRHEAD' and 'TOUCH', the grooving revolutionary oratory and percolating spaghetti western guitar and glitch-laden synth leads of 'TURN THE LIGHT ON' to the sneering and seething riot grrl fury of 'WHEN THE BELL TOLLS', the sinister hip-hop injected 'NEXT MOVE', the downright cinematic and Teutonic electro of 'ERLKÖNIG', and the virulent dub warcry of 'WW 2023' – KMFDM continues to break down barriers and immerse audiences in a bold new reality.

Always stylistically diverse, KMFDM continues to bridge the gaps between genres, coalescing into what we know and love as the Ultra Heavy Beat!  Konietzko and Cifarelli prove as vicious a team as ever, equally sharing vocal and lyrical duties, with longtime associate MC Ocelot appearing to give 'NEXT MOVE' an extra touch of raucous rap energy. All the while, Blacksugar’s prowess on six-strings continues to awe and astound, backed by Selway’s dynamic drumming, meshing with Konietzko’s masterful programming.

Mixed and mastered by Benjamin Lawrenz (VNV Nation, Deep Purple, Saga, Mono Inc., Lord of the Lost), at Chameleon Recording Studios in Hamburg, 'LET GO' signals KMFDM’s 40th anniversary loudly and proudly, with Aidan “BRUTE” Hughes’ distinctive cover artwork mirroring the album’s breakneck power. After four decades, the Ultra Heavy Beat simply refuses to rest in pity and regret, raising a sharpened middle finger at a world in chaos.

The 'LET GO' album is out now, available from fine music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. It is also being offered  on CD and as a Limited Edition Vinyl double LP. In March, they embark on a month-long US tour with tickets now available for order.

London-Liverpool lovechild James Clarke Five presents 'Gadfly Groove' single ahead of new album

"With fantastic diversity, wrapped in a tight layer of suave musical mastery, James Clarke Five's brand of music melds the best of rock and Brit pop, imbued with spirits past and present" ~ Amplify Music Mag 

"The sound of the 60’s if 80’s sophisti-pop had been invented, all smooth rounded notes, beautiful production and huge globules of earnest maturity." ~ Jangle Pop Hub  

"A pleasure to listen to... a sort of Ben Folds does Sunshine Pop" ~ I Don't Hear a Single 

"Lie down by a river and drift away to these tunes. You won't even need the sunshine; there is enough in this record to last the whole year" ~ Isolation Records 

"One of the best slices of gentle indie pop I’ve heard for some time... with teeth wrapped in velvet, just as the lounge style was for The Specials" ~ Pop in the Real World 

"Some kinda locked-in-his-bedroom genius... very listenable pop" ~ Dagger Zine

UK indie rock artist James Clarke Five presents the new single 'Gadfly Groove', previewing the album 'Zoom and The Gadflies' (out March 15 via Favourite Recordings). Celebrating the personal transformation of a quiet, tentative introvert to an outgoing, gadfly-like persona, ths song presents uplifting crunchy guitars and a blistering sax solo. Ultimately a butterfly emerges!

Much like Cocteau Twins was not actually a duo, James Clarke Five is the solo project of James Hughes. He is perhaps best known as keyboardist and vocalist for Liverpool 80's new wave band The Cherry Boys, contemporaries of Echo & The Bunnymen and The Teardrop Explodes, whose members also played with The LA’s, Cast, The Icicle Works and Lightning Seeds. With a slight resemblance to The Fall's Mark E. Smith, Hughes now lives in London.

"I was almost 'channelling' the sound of T Rex / glam-era Bowie with this song, and I gave it a carefree, slightly camp lyric to compliment the sound.  I think the raunchy sax solo tops it off nicely!" says James Clarke.

With sometimes story-driven or politically-edged lyrics, James Clarke Five mixes classic baroque pop with strong melodies and distinctive chord changes, but with a more raw, guitar driven sound with overtones of glam rock and psychedelia. The new album also includes some clear nods to XTC, Adam and the Ants and Joe Meek.

'Gadfly Groove' comes hot on the heels of '(Who's Been On The) Big Rock Candy', which tells the story of a couple who pursue increasingly daring deeds from roller coaster rides and cliff edges to runaway trains, all to a pounding, feedback-driven backdrop.

At the age of 12, James Hughes picked up a guitar, which he has scarcely put down since. Following The Cherry Boys, Hughes was a founder member of Exhibit B, who released the cult classic album 'Playing Dead' and several singles.  

Upon moving to London in the early 2000s, Hughes launched James Clarke Five with the barnstorming single 'Get Out Of Bed' and later found success with his song 'Sexbombe Uber Alles', the main theme of the film 'Last Shop Standing'. Their most recent albums 'Underneath The Lemon Tree' (2021) and 'ParlourSounds' (2018), released by iconic Canadian label The Beautiful Music, garnered rave reviews. His music has also appeared in the film 'Soundtrack to Sixteen' and has amassed over 1.25 million Spotify streams to date.

Recorded in James's home studio in London, James produced and mastered this album. He performed all instruments and vocals with the exception of Mack The Sax, who plays saxophone on 'Gadfly Groove' and Karen Bates, who provides backing vocals on 'It's Been So Long'.

As of February 2, 'Gadfly Groove' will be available from fine digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple and Bandcamp.  The full 'Zoom and The Gadflies' album will be released on March 15 via Favourite Recordings.

American Teeth Drops "A Wake" EP Today + Share "Sand Dollars" Video

American Teeth, the sonic alter ego of Elisha Noll, has released the A WakeEP today, February 2, via Fearless Records.

Listen to it here

The artist has also shared the video for "Sand Dollars." Watch it below

"I wrote this song about a day or two after my dad died, when I was walking on the beach and stepped onto the sand to find thousands of sand dollars sprawled across the beach," the artist explains. "It was the first time I connected an event with my dad after he died, and gave me hope that he was still with me. I was reminded of this memory while working with Dewain Whitmore, Julian Bell, and Colin Brittain, and we decided to bring it to life. The outro lyrics were written a few years back in a session I had with Matthew Pauling. We were working in a similar chord progression and I felt the message at the end was a nice way to tie the whole journey up."

Noll has quickly risen in the ranks as in-demand songwriter. Check out this playlist of songs he has worked on for The Jonas Brothers, Nessa Barrett, Illenium, 5 Seconds of Summer, and more.

ERRA Announce New Album "CURE" + Share Video For Title Track

Prolific metalcore progressives ERRA are pleased to announce their new album. CURE arrives on April 5 via UNFD. Pre-order it here.

CURE is the band's sixth album and it highlights and expands on the forward-thinking sound and guitar-driven style that the band has built its reputation on. Following 2021's self-titled release, CURE is a stunning execution of both raw talent and surgical technicality. It's as emotional powerful as it is musically proficient, which is not an easy feat to achieve. Yet ERRA make it look and sound easy. CURE is a sonic thrill ride — one that you hope will never end.

Today, the band has shared the video for the title track. Watch it below.

The song serves up plate-shifting grooves with intricate guitar work and alternately sung and screamed vocals that ooze with ominous tones. 

"'Cure' was one of the last songs we wrote for the records," says guitarist/vocalist Jesse Cash. "I had this groove riff that I was just so obsessed with, to the point that I wanted to stay with it for the full duration of the song. So even though the song stays in 4/4 for the most part, we're always staying locked into this dotted sequence of on rhythm guitars and kick, making the rhythm feel complex yet easy to latch onto as a listener. In the final breakdown section, we stay with this dotted sequence, but switch the time signature to 6/8 for a few bars, before reverting back to 4/4 to close out the song. These playful tinkerings with time signature serve as a suitable introduction to the approach we took with grooves throughout the whole record."

ERRA ARE:
J.T. Cavey — Vocals
Jesse Cash — Vocals + Guitars
Conor Hesse — Bass
Alex Ballew — Drums
Clint Tustin — Guitar

Paralandra Share "Love of My Life" — Listen // New Album "The Body Electric" Out in April

PARALANDRA, a hard rock band from Missouri that will delight fans of Alter Bridge, Queen, and Shinedown, have shared their new single "Love of My Life."

Listen below.

Think power riffs and soaring, stadium-sized vocals! 

"I originally wrote and recorded this song just as an anniversary present for my boyfriend, Jaron, back in 2020," shares signer Casandra Carson. "I never intended on releasing it publicly since it was a gift and something personal, but after sharing it with our friends and family, they all convinced me the world needed to hear it, too. It's a bit of a step outside of Paralandra's usual high-energy rock sound, but when we we were in the studio last year, we played it for Elvis Baskette and proposed doing a ballad on this record, and he absolutely loved it! We added an extra bridge and a guitar solo, and ended up making this song something much more beautiful than I had ever envisioned. I couldn't be more proud finally to be sharing this with the world."

ABOUT PARALANDRA:
Paralandra formed in the summer of 2013 when Casandra Carson and her dad, Paul Carson, began writing songs together to play a one-time event at their local county 4th of July celebration. The response was so positive, and they enjoyed it so much, they decided to continue booking shows and writing songs. They recorded and released a homemade CD titled Rise Up, which sold over 1,000 copies at local shows. Shortly after, friend and local musician, Sawyer Rikard, joined the band on bass guitar in 2015, bringing their stage sound and performance to another level. In March of 2016, they released a follow-up EP, All Fall Down, which debuted #1 on the BIllboard Heatseekers chart. They soon began touring and being invited to festivals such as Rocklahoma, SXSW, Rockfest, Dirtfest, and Loud in Lima.

In 2018, they joined forces with Legend Recordings, and released another EP, Ascension, which became their biggest release yet with singles "Back to Life" and "Killer Queen" landing on the radio. Shortly after, they added local powerhouse drummer (and childhood friend of Sawyer), Dakota Watson, to form the rhythm section Casandra, Paul, and Sawyer had always dreamed of. In 2019, they recorded standalone single "Love Will Win" with producer/videographer, Jake Jones, which gained even more radio play, and placed them on numerous national tours; supporting artists such as Tantric, Saliva, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dokken, and being added to the KISS Kruise and NAMM Show. 

The band continued to write, record, livestream, and perform wherever they could during the 2020 pandemic, and only continued to gain traction and fans from all over the world. Reaching out on a whim, they won over the attention of renowned producer/songwriter, Elvis Baskette, and shortly thereafter, entered the studio to record their first professionally made, full length album, Street Magic, in 2021. This release proved to be a monumental success, skyrocketing their audience with over 5 million views and streams across all platforms. Radio singles from this release alone include "For the Record," "Despicable," "Repeat Offender," "Can’t Quench the Fire," and "Only Human."

Paralandra have since toured the country on multiple headlining runs, and is constantly supporting iconic bands such as Warrant, Lita Ford, Firehouse, Last in Line, and countless others with no end in sight. They re-entered the studio with Elvis Baskette in 2023 and recorded their second studio album, which is due April 4. They plan for this release to be just as big, if not bigger than the last, as they continue to record, write, tour, and work tirelessly to build their brand, and change the direction of rock music to be a force for good in this world.
