Four Thirty Four Breaks Through the Noise with Explosive New Single “Stuck Out”

FOUR THIRTY FOUR are back with “Stuck Out,” a high-octane new single that takes aim at thefrustration and fallout of modern-day breakups. Marking the band’s fourth release with

producer Kevin McNoldy, the track captures FOUR THIRTY FOUR at their most focused, intense, and emotionally charged. With hard-hitting riffs, driving rhythms, and emotionally charged vocals, the track showcases the band’s signature blend of modern rock intensity and relatable storytelling.

Fans can expect “Stuck Out” to further cement Four Thirty Four as a band to watch in the modern rock landscape. The single highlights the group’s evolution as songwriters and performers, capturing the urgency and passion that defines their music.

Sonically, FOUR THIRTY FOUR draw comparisons to Velvet Revolver on steroids, blending classicrock attitude with modern urgency and polish. “Stuck Out” is built to catch your ear and yourheart, delivering a hook-heavy rush that resonates long after the final

chorus fades.

“Stuck Out” is available on all major

streaming platforms.

“ROARING” RANDY HOUSER RETURNS TO COUNTRY RADIO WITH “BACK IN THE BOTTLE”

Country music’s most unmistakable voice is officially back where it belongs. Randy Houser’s new single, “Back In The Bottle,” impacts country radio today with 80 stations on board, marking a powerful homecoming for the multi-Platinum hitmaker.
 
Hailed as “one of the best voices in the genre” by Rolling Stone, fans and programmers alike have echoed the same sentiment: Randy Houser’s voice has been deeply missed on country radio. With “Back In The Bottle,” that absence gives way to “a certified honky tonk banger,” shares Whiskey Riff, marking a moment that feels less like a comeback and more like a long-awaited return home.
 
“Feeling the love from fans and country radio on this one means everything,” shares Houser. “I’m so grateful for all the support for this song, and I’m looking forward to sharing more new music with all of you this year.”
 
Written solely by Houser and co-produced by longtime collaborator Blake Chancey, “Back In The Bottle” is “a totally joyous listening experience,” lauds MusicRow, as “Roaring Randy Houser…possesses one of the most magnificent voices in contemporary country music.”

“Back In The Bottle” opens with the familiar wreckage of a rowdy night out, leading to a chorus that embraces the kind of night you’d gladly repeat, consequences be damned:

The single launches a new chapter for Houser, as he readies a steady stream of new music expected throughout 2026, alongside tour and festival dates this spring and summer, with more to be announced.

About Randy Houser
Lauded as “one of the best voices in the genre” by Rolling Stone, with an inimitable voice The New York Times describes as “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,” Randy Houser’s latest single “Back In The Bottle” arrives as the first taste of new music to come in 2026. Racking up three consecutive No. 1 hits and more than four million in singles sales to date with his Stoney Creek Records album How Country Feels, he topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter) and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year-nominated “Like A Cowboy.” Houser added a fourth No. 1 to his catalogue with “We Went” from his 2016 album, Fired Up. The deluxe version of Houser’s sixth studio album Note To Self is available now via Magnolia Music Group and features four new collaborations with artists including Cody Johnson, Justin Moore, Miranda Lambert and Riley Green. RIAA Gold-certified single and title track “Note To Self” marked his “powerful return” following 2019’s critically acclaimed album Magnolia, with MusicRow boasting the Mississippi native “remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists.” For more information, visit RandyHouser.com.

TYLER BOOTH SIGNS WITH JAMEY JOHNSON'S BIG GASSED RECORDS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AVERAGE JOES ENTERTAINMENT

Kentucky singer/songwriter Tyler Booth has signed with Jamey Johnson’s Big Gassed Records in a joint venture with Average Joes Entertainment and has finalized a management agreement with The Erv Woolsey Company.

Booth, known for his baritone voice and traditional country sound with a modern twist, will release new music very soon.

Raised in Campton, Ky., (pop. 316), he shares the musical DNA with other artists from Eastern Kentucky, such as Loretta Lynn, The Judds, Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers, Keith Whitley, Dwight Yoakam, Ricky Skaggs, Patty Loveless and many more.

“I feel like I embody all the Appalachia,” says Booth, who now lives in Pikeville, Ky. (pop. 7,754). “That’s one of the biggest parts of me, just being from here and learning from people. I’ve always tried to keep my roots. A lot of my family were coal miners and served in the military. It made me who I am, so I love it.”

After playing festivals in high school and attending Morehead State, he recorded an EP, Make It to Mexico, and the video for “Hank Crankin’ People” received more than 1 million views. In 2020, he signed a joint venture with Sony Music Nashville and Villa40 and released songs including “Long Comes a Girl” and “Where the Livin’ Is.” His song “Palomino Princess” garnered more than 22 million streams on Spotify alone. 

Booth has toured with Brantley Gilbert, Darius Rucker and Dwight Yoakam and recorded with Brooks & Dunn on “Lost and Found” on their 2019 Reboot album.

“I’ve had a record deal before and I learned a lot from it,” says Booth, who moved from Nashville back to Kentucky and immersed himself in songwriting for the last five years. “Before that, I started playing shows at 16. My life has always been centered around music. I think this is going to be a great year!”

Jeremy Popoff of the band Lit heard Booth perform one of Johnson’s songs and introduced him to Johnson, one of his musical heroes. “I have been a fan of his since I began listening to music and have been covering his songs for years,” Booth says. 

Johnson invited Booth to join his tour and perform “Bring on the Neon” together, a song recorded by Booth and written with Johnson and Popoff. “Jamey is all about the music,” Booth says. “He loves music, and I do too. That is why we have that connection. He is really laid back and goes with the flow, and I am too. I feel like music is supposed to be that way.”

Johnson formed Big Gassed Records in 2014 to record and release the kind of music he wanted and now extends the opportunity to other artists, such as Chris Hennessee and Whatley & Co. Johnson has long been focused on helping other artists, and especially mentoring new artists, and this label is a way for Johnson to do that on a much larger scale.

“He is a wonderful singer and a great songwriter and he deserves to be heard,” Johnson says. “When I found out that he was off the label, I called him up and told him, ‘Keep writing. Keep your head up. Stay busy. Keep recording and let’s see what happens.’ 

“He called me after he had recorded some songs and I listened to a few of them. He even asked me to sing on one with him. When I heard what he had been working on, I knew he was ready. He just needs an opportunity.”

In partnership with Big Gassed Records, Booth now joins the Average Joes Entertainment roster that includes Colt Ford, Eddie Montgomery, Bryan Martin, Creed Fisher and Josh Mirenda.

“We couldn't be more excited to be involved with Tyler,” shares Forrest Latta, president of Average Joes Entertainment. “After hearing his latest project – the talent, the growth, the ability to create the traditional sounds and compelling stories that have made country music great – we couldn't get enough. And to partner with an icon like Jamey made this a no brainer. We had to be a part of it.”

“Tyler Booth brings raw honesty, blue collar grit and a voice that cuts straight to the bone,” shares Average Joes Entertainment’s SVP, Andrew Davis. “He’s exactly the kind of artist Average Joes Entertainment was built for, and we're excited to get to work alongside Jamey Johnson and team.”

For nearly four decades, The Erv Woosley Company (EWC) worked with some of the most notable names in country music, including George Strait and Lee Ann Womack. Today, the company’s current roster also includes the Davisson Brothers Band, Jenna Paulette, Triston Marez, Zach Neil, Nick Davisson, Stone Senate and Vince Herman.
 
The joint venture reunites Johnson with EWC’s Allen Mitchell and E.J. Bernas, both of whom worked for Universal Music Group and helped promote Johnson’s award-winning song, “In Color.”  

“Tyler embodies the traditional, storytelling spirit that has been at the core of our company’s reputation since its formation in the ‘80s,” shares EWC president Allen Mitchell. “As the EWC forges into the future, we couldn’t be more proud that he chose to partner with us for this next chapter of his career.”

“My dad (Erv) and Allen met Tyler a few years back – I love how Allen and dad laid the friendship groundwork already. So for me, that makes this partnership very special,” shares Clinton Woolsey, CEO of Erv Woolsey Company. “I respect Tyler greatly and it’s a pleasure to partner with him.”

IAN MUNSICK EXPANDS EAGLE FLIES FREE TOUR WITH 10 DATES ADDED THROUGH SUMMER 2026

As Ian Munsick readies new music in 2026, the Wyoming native is continuing to build on his third studio album, expanding his Eagle Flies Free Tour with 10 new dates through Summer 2026. Kenny Whitmire joins as support on the newly added dates, with ticket pre-sale beginning Feb. 11 using code EAGLE, and general on-sale beginning Feb. 13 at IanMunsick.com. 
 
Beginning this Friday, Feb. 13 in Charlotte, N.C., and featuring 28 dates with special guests ERNEST, Lanie Gardner, Ben Haggard, Ned LeDoux, Tyler Nance, Whitmire and Jake Worthington, the Eagle Flies Free Tour is named after Munsick’s third studio album, Eagle Feather, which was released in 2025. The run will conclude with Munsick’s second headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Aug. 25, which marks his first appearance back to the coveted Rocky Mountain venue since selling out his debut in 2024.
 
As Munsick continues to tease a new chapter, he debuted the official music video for “Geronimo,” his first release under WEST TO THE REST RECORDS/Triple Tigers Records, on Friday (Feb. 6). Directed by Ben Christensen, the video was shot in Wyoming by Isaac Spotts and produced by Caroline Munsick. 
 
“This is by far the best music video I’ve ever done. And when I say ‘I’ve’ I mean my visionary wife and the team she assembled to make her idea into a stunning reality,” shares Munsick. “If National Geographic and 70’s country & western MTV had a baby, it would be the music video for ‘Geronimo.’ Filmed in Wyoming by Wyoming’s finest, prepare to walk your heart up to the mountain.” 
 
“I’ve admired Ian and his work for a long time, so filming this video out in the wilds of Wyoming for his amazing new song was such a cool experience,” adds Isaac Spotts. “I’ve lived in Wyoming for a long time, and this song completely captures the vibe of the west. Getting the opportunity to try and bring those lyrics to life in an epic music video was so much fun and such an honor!”
 
“Geronimo” was Munsick's first music release off his next project since he arrived in April 2025 with Eagle Feather, which Holler praised for its "expansive tracks, atmospheric anthems," and Rolling Stone noted “is shaped by the landscape of the West, the stories of Native Americans, and the romantic idea of the cowboy.

CRAIG MORGAN TO HEADLINE NASHVILLE’S RYMAN AUDITORIUM ON NOVEMBER 7

Country music hitmaker and Army Reserve soldier Craig Morgan will return to Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on November 7, 2026 to headline his hometown’s famed venue. Tickets are on-sale at CraigMorgan.com beginning this Friday, February 13th at 10am central. Craig first played the historic venue in 2022, with surprise appearances by Jelly Roll and Trace Adkins.

His headlining concert stop will take place shortly before Veterans Day. Currently serving as a Warrant Officer 2 in the Army Reserve, Craig is nearing two decades of sacrificial service to our nation, having previously served seventeen years in the Army and Army Reserve with the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions.

The singer, author, actor, and soldier has made a name for himself as a country music hitmaker who has amassed more than 2.5 billion career streams and charted over 25 songs on Billboard. With signature hits including “Redneck Yacht Club,” “Almost Home,” “International Harvester,” “Soldier,” “That's What I Love About Sunday,” and his faith-filled tribute, “The Father, My Son, and the Holy Ghost,” the multi-faceted entertainer’s music has formed the soundtrack to our lives for over two decades. His new music, American Soundtrack (BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville), is no exception, with each of the EP’s six songs infused with Craig’s faith and patriotism.

Craig received one of country music's highest honors when he was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008. Prior to becoming a country music star and TV sensation, Craig spent seventeen years serving our country in the Army and Army Reserve and in 2023 enlisted again in the Army Reserve, continuing his military career as a Chief Warrant Officer 2. He remains an avid supporter of America's military personnel and has made nearly two dozen overseas trips to perform for our troops. Craig is a member of the U.S. Field Artillery Hall of Fame and recipient of the USO Merit Award. In 2018, he was awarded the Army’s Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, one of the highest awards the Department of the Army can bestow upon a civilian, in recognition of his significant dedication to our military men and women around the world. He remains committed to supporting active duty and veteran members of our military through work with Operation Finally Home, the USO and more.  

His emotional and inspiring memoir - God, Family, Country – is available now. In the book, Craig details all aspects from his inspiring life, revealing never-before-heard stories including the impetus behind his recent enlistment in the Army Reserve, how he worked alongside the CIA as a soldier in Panama, fought sex traffickers as an undercover agent in Thailand, forged his own path to country music stardom, and lives his life by the deepest values: God, family, country.

Haste the Day Announce New Album "Dissenter" Out 5/1 + Share "Shallows" Visualizer

HASTE THE DAY, the metalcore band that made a scene splash in the '00s, returned in 2024 with the video for the new song "Burn." They also appeared at Furnace Fest that year. It was their first music in nearly a decade.

But they didn't stop there. Not a chance! 

Today, the band is thrilled to announce its new album DISSENTER, which arrives May 1 on Solid State Records. It's their first album since 2015. Pre-order it here. 

They have also shared the visualizer for new single "Shallows." Watch it below. 

"'Shallows' captures the core of what we set out to create on this record — aggressive, melodic metalcore," the band says. "Driven by high-energy riffs, heavy breakdowns, and a memorable chorus, the song balances nostalgia with contemporary influence. Lyrically, it confronts disillusionment, corruption, and the cost of defiance."

So absorb all of that insight and then open up the pit...

Haste The Day conjure the sound of coming full circle. The Indiana-bred band rekindles the spark at the heart of their signature style by sharpening the edges, tightening the melodies, and amplifying the scope with cinematic ambition. Haste The Day have clung to their integrity since initially emerging at the turn of the century. Following Burning Bridges [2004] and When Everything Falls [2005], Stephen made his formal debut as the group's frontman on Pressure The Hinges [2007]. The band unleashed a trio of fan favorite offerings, namely Dreamer [2008], the seminal Attack Of The Wolf King [2010], and Coward [2015]. The latter marked their second straight Top 20 entry on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and second Top 10 on the Hard Rock Albums Chart. Along the way, they toured with everyone from Hollywood Undead to Norma Jean. Despite going dormant in 2016, they amassed tens of millions of streams and continued to resonate with an ever-expanding audience. As such, their 2023 reunion gig at the sold-out Furnace Fest was met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Returning with their first full-length release in eleven years, the musicians tap into who they were and push forward together on their seventh LP, Dissenter [Solid State].
 

HASTE THE DAY ARE:
Stephen Keech — Vocals 
Scott Whelan — Guitar 
Dave Krysl — Guitar 
Giuseppe Capolupo — Drums 
Michael Murphy — Bass

VRSTY Cover Bad Bunny's "qué pasaria"

Genre-blending and bending New York City-based collective VRSTY (pronounced "Varsity") further tap into their heightened pop sensibilities with their cover of Bad Bunny's "qué pasaría" — which arrives just in time for the Super Bowl, where Bad Bunny will serve as the Halftime Show entertainment!

Eva Under Fire Drop "Murder Scene" Single + Video — A Rallying Cry for the Betrayed

EVA UNDER FIRE DROP "MURDER SCENE," A RALLYING CRY FOR THE BETRAYED RELEASED VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC.

BAND INVITES THE BETRAYED TO SING IN UNISON AND POWER WITH THEM ON UPCOMING U.S. TOUR WITH JERIS JOHNSON + BUTCHER BABIES LAUNCHING FEBRUARY 8

Listening to EVA UNDER FIRE (@evaunderfire) is like hard rock therapy, turning scars and demons into anthems of inner strength. Nowhere is that clearer than on the Detroit band's latest single, the sonically fierce and lyrically razor-sharp "Murder Scene,"  via Better Noise Music.

Stream + download "Murder Scene" HERE.

Watch the lyric video for "Murder Scene" Below.

"'Murder Scene' explores eating disorders, body dysmorphia, self-doubt, and how dreams can become nightmares when the same people who once cheered for you are now criticizing you," says singer and songwriter Amanda Lyberg. "The dream of being on stage comes with a spotlight on my personal flaws. I'm just a body. To be picked apart and judged and perceived. Anxiety is a liar in my head. It tells me I'm not good enough to be here. So, I fight it. I changed my name and my image to prove it wrong. Still the anxiety gets louder. I think it's trying to kill me. In a world so desensitized, it feels like death has been redefined as a minor inconvenience. I'm insecure about my body so anxiety might win. My skin is crawling, and every part of my body feels wrong. Maybe I'll call a doctor and get it altered. Maybe if I don't eat, I'll feel better."

"Murder Scene" is the follow-up to the blistering and inspirational anthem "Awakening," released October 17 via Better Noise Music. It was the first taste of new music in two years from the Detroit, MI quintet.
  

For all of EVA UNDER FIRE's new music, Amanda drew on her career as a licensed therapist to foster an open dialogue among the band members, empowering everyone to be heard during the recording. Her work in therapy started in 2018 when she graduated with a Master of Arts in Psychology degree and went on to work at a mental health clinic in Detroit, Transcendence Behavioral Health (owned by Dr. Stephanie Williams). That same year, her father passed away due to a fentanyl overdose. Her mother survived the same batch that killed her father and has been sober for the past six years. In addition to her thriving and busy music career, Amanda is currently a practicing psychotherapist specializing in trauma work, grief and loss, and addiction recovery.

Her story turned into a 2023 short film, My Rockstar, which used EVA UNDER FIRE music throughout, and has won over 20 awards in several film fests including Orlando Film Fest, Wild Rivers Film Festival, Toronto WILDfilm Festival, and many others.

In touring news, EVA UNDER FIRE will hit the road for a six-week U.S. tour with Jeris Johnson and Butcher Babies starting February 8 in Portland, OR. Later this summer, EVA UNDER FIRE has been announced as a support act tour along with Cody Jinks for Five Finger Death Punch’s 20th Anniversary World Tour 2026.

KING ULTRAMEGA Release Tribute Cover of "Preaching The End Of The World" Honoring Chris Cornell and Supporting MusiCares

KING ULTRAMEGA have released a powerful new single, a cover of "Preaching The End Of The World", recorded in loving memory of Chris Cornell while raising funds and awareness for MusiCares, the Recording Academy’s nonprofit that provides mental health services, addiction recovery support, and emergency assistance to members of the music community.

Originally written and performed by Chris Cornell, "Preaching The End Of The World" remains one of the most emotionally resonant songs of his solo career. The new interpretation from KING ULTRAMEGA preserves the emotional core of the original while expanding its sonic landscape with layered guitars, cinematic keyboards, and a dynamic, atmospheric arrangement.

The recording features vocals by Ian Thornley of BIG WRECK, guitars by Pete Thorn, bass by Mark Menghi, keyboards and synth by Dave Kerzner and Frank Mitaritonna, and drums by Kenny Aronoff. The track was produced by Mark Menghi, engineered by Frank Mitaritonna, Dave Kerzner and Mark Menghi, mixed and mastered by Josh Wilbur, with cover artwork and video created by Costin Chioreanu. Original music by Chris Cornell.

Speaking about joining the project, Ian Thornley said, "Pete Thorn is a dear friend and fellow Canadian who I know played with Chris Cornell for many years. He’s a great musician, and we’re always looking for projects to do together, so it was a quick ‘yes’ from me."

Kenny Aronoff shared, "I wanted to be part of this project because I know Mark was involved, and I’ve always been a huge fan of anything Chris Cornell on so many levels. ‘Preaching The End Of The World’ is an amazingly beautiful song, and Chris’s vocal performance is one of the most passionate and emotional vocal performances I have ever heard."

Producer and bassist Mark Menghi reflected on the song’s meaning, saying, "It’s a song about loneliness and searching for connection, something I can relate to. Just listen to the lyrics of this song. Chris is authentic, emotional, and vulnerable."

Pete Thorn also looked back on performing the song live with Cornell. "‘Preaching The End Of The World’ is a beautiful song that I always enjoyed performing with Chris during my time on tour with him. I remember a show in Tel Aviv where he talked about writing it during a dark time, but ended by saying, ‘but I made it!’ I always think about that in a positive way. He made it for a long time, and we should all be thankful for that."

Discussing the musical direction, Menghi added, "When I chose this song for KING ULTRAMEGA, I had a late 60s Beatles production vibe in mind. I tried to honor what made Chris’s original recording so special, not only instrumentally but in the production as well."

Ultimately, the musicians view "Preaching The End Of The World" as a defining piece of Chris Cornell’s artistic legacy, and hope this tribute both honors his songwriting and helps support members of the music community through MusiCares.

The "Preaching The End Of The World" Lineup Is:

  • Vocals: Ian Thornley (Big Wreck)

  • Guitars: Pete Thorn (Chris Cornell)

  • Bass: Mark Menghi

  • Keyboards & Synth: Dave Kerzner & Frank Mitaritonna

  • Drums: Kenny Aronoff

INDUCTION Release New Studio Album 'Love Kills!' And Music Video For "Strangers To Love"

modern power metal force INDUCTION mark the release of their new studio album Love Kills!, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.

With Love Kills!, INDUCTION present their most focused and mature record to date, sharpening their signature mix of heavy power metal, strong hooks, and emotionally driven songwriting. The album shows a band operating with confidence, clarity, and a clear artistic direction.

To celebrate their album release in glorious style, INDUCTION unleash a powerful new music video for the epic track “Strangers To Love”, featuring none other than Clémentine Delauney from VISIONS OF ATLANTIS!

“Strangers To Love” stands as one of the album’s most emotional and cinematic moments. Blending soaring melodies and crushing guitars, the song showcases an intense vocal duet between Clémentine and INDUCTION frontman Gabriele Gozzi. It’s a powerful meeting of voices that elevates the song into true modern power metal territory.

"I am honored to feature on INDUCTION’s new album, especially on this song 'Strangers to Love' that carries a very nostalgic yet energetic vibe," the VISIONS OF ATLANTIS singer says. "I feel like I’m back in the vibrant eighties, singing about a love that is as impossible as it is to travel back in time… I had a lot of fun interpreting this song alongside the great Gabriele Gozzi!”

Stream/Download “Strangers To Love”: https://induction.rpm.link/strangersvoaPR

Watch the video clip premiering below:

INDUCTION guitarist Tim Kanoa Hansen comments on the collaboration: "The second that I had the demo of ‘Strangers To Love’ done, I knew it needed a second voice. With Clémentine from VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, we found the perfect match to bring the story to life. Clémi and Gabri complement each other beautifully! ‘Strangers To Love’ is probably the closest thing to a ballad that you will find on Love Kills!, and it's also probably one of my personal favorite hits. I believe everyone will somehow relate to this song, because it captures the essence of human experience at its core, and fits perfectly to the album's message: Love Kills…but it's never gonna die.”

But the connection between INDUCTION and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS doesn’t stop at the studio. Both bands have joined forces with WARKINGS for the “Pirates & Kings Over Europe” Tour, that just kicked off in Switzerland and leading through more than 20 cities across Europe, promising epic nights of melodic metal and unforgettable performances. Find all current and upcoming dates listed below!

Following a storm of milestones, including a series of live dates supporting the legendary SAVATAGE, a frenetically acclaimed debut at Wacken Open Air, and the release of fan-favorite singles “Beyond Horizons” and “Dark Temptation”,INDUCTION are now firing on all cylinders.

Crafted at Chameleon Studios and Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, the new album was produced by Tim Kanoa Hansen, and was mixed and mastered by Eike Freese in collaboration with the guitarist. Love Kills! marks the beginning of a new era for INDUCTION, defined by musical evolution, emotional depth, and a fearless drive to push the boundaries of modern power metal.

“For me, this album carries a lot of raw and personal emotion", Tim recently said. "Life always moved forward, and even in the darkest times, love always found its way back. With Love Kills! we explore the beauty and cruelty of love in a futuristic power metal context. It’s Induction at our biggest, boldest, and most fun yet.”

LOVE KILLS! is out now via Reigning Phoenix Music. Order your copy at: https://induction.rpm.link/lovekillsPR

Levels Announce New Album Out 4/10 + Share Video for Double Single "Fume" + "Death Dance"

Central Arkansas quartet LEVELS — Kolby Carignan [vocals], Jager Felice[guitar], Jacob Hubbard [bass], and Dalton Kennerly [drums] — are thrilled to announce the April 10 release of their new album This Will Make You Feel Again via SharpTone Records. Pre-order it here. The band shares the video for the double single "Fume" and "Death Dance."

Watch it below. 


Regarding "Fume," the band states, "The song explores the emotional weight of a relationship pushed to its limits by burnout, miscommunication, and constant internal struggle. Through vivid imagery, it captures the tension between a love that's inevitably turning cold and the desire to try and reignite it. It is a plea for connection, an honest reflection on trying to break through emotional distance and offer refuge before everything is burned."

As for "Death Dance," it's "about obsession — when one person becomes home, poison, and salvation all at once. It's that feeling where leaving seems impossible, but staying slowly kills you. It's caught between survival and surrender, and the song feeds from that space."

The band retains a singular focus with the album — and that's to elicit a visceral response.

"For us, the main priority is to make you feel something," affirms Carignan. "If you come to a LEVELS show or listen to a record, you should leave fully nourished. We don't create songs; we create experiences." 

Overall, This Will Make You Feel Again is more than an album or a statement; it's a call to action. "As creativity becomes shackled to algorithms and artificial intelligence, TWMYFA subverts the standard and unapologetically delivers emotionally charged experiences grounded in reality and rhythm," the band declares. "Through its pulverizing riffs, electric energy, and hypnotic melodies, this release extensively explores elements of the modern human struggle—such as maintaining a sense of identity, reconciling religion with reality, and adapting in the wake of the unimaginable. From the void of collateral content, this album reaches out to offer you an escape: To feel."

LEVELS openly aim to provoke a physical and emotional response with their fluid and future-facing hybrid of metal, pop, drum 'n' bass, and dance music. They deliver pit-ready riffs, hooks tailor-made for arenas, and beat drops that could rouse any after-hours club to life. As such, they effectively encode vampiric sensuality and slick grooves within the metallic framework of 22nd century hard rock anthems. The band will move you in one way or another on their sophomore full-length LP, This Will Make You Feel Again. The group has defied categorization since its formation in 2016. New Noise awarded the PULSE EP [2024] a perfect score of "5-out-of-5," going on to marvel at "the band's ability to seamlessly transition between different genres and change up their sound at any time." Throughout 2025, the collective carefully assembled the album with producer Jonathan Dolese at the helm. Recording at KonKrete Studios in Nashville, TN, they bottled and distilled a wide swath of inspirations and emotions into ten airtight tracks. With such open-hearted honesty, LEVELS will undoubtedly make you feel. "When you hear the record, I hope you feel the way I did back in high school after a friend showed me a new song in the car," Jacob says. "Maybe you'll want to share it with everyone. There would be no better reaction."

The Crowned Rise from the Shadows with Explosive New Single “Fallen One”

"We praise the skies for fallen angels..."

Hard rock powerhouse THE CROWNED return with a thunderous new single, “Fallen One,” a gripping and emotionally charged track that showcases the band’s signature blend of soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and unapologetic intensity.

ABOUT THE SONG

"Fallen One" is an onslaught of groove riff's and thrash going back and forth competing with each other. Until finally, you hit the chorus that breathes big open church choir power vocals to fill a whole cathedral. Just when you think the song is going to stay calm, it builds into a heavy slam beat that you cannot help but head bang to. After things take a turn for the worst, you're met with fast double bass pounding in your chest until you can't handle anymore. After that, a solo rips your soul in half with speed and intensity. The solo climaxes at the end with a beautiful uplifting harmony that you will sing for days after you've only heard the song once. We go back into the chorus one last time to give a louder and powerful shout for the"Fallen One" and a brutal scream ends the song with fast intense double bass and an abrupt ending leaving you questioning what the hell

just happened.

Every band has their own "it" factor.

THE CROWNED stands out amongst the rest with their looks, stage presence, and set up. It's not every day you see a band with a frontman as the drummer and singer. The band formed in 2013 out of great state of Texas. Creating gory music videos, a slew of surprises for live performances, and metal music that is remembered well after the stage is vacant,

THE CROWNED is not an act you want to miss.

Now signed to Curtain Call Records and M7 Talent Agency, THE CROWNED is prepping for a tour in the summer in Europe.

More details to come.

Chase Rice Joins Ashland Craft for Duet Reimagining of “Momma Don’t Pray Like She Used To”

Chase Rice joins Ashland Craft on a striking new duet version of her track “Momma Don’t Pray Like She Used To,” out now. Originally appearing on Craft’s 2025 album Dive Bar Beauty Queen, the song, penned by Craft, Jess Grommet, Willie Morrison and Corey Elizabeth Grogan, captures the quiet ache of growing up and watching family, faith and perspective evolve over time. The reimagined duet brings new emotional weight, pairing Craft’s raw, lived-in vocals with Rice’s rugged delivery, creating a powerful reflection on change, gratitude and the roads that shape us. The accompanying music video, directed by Quinton Cook, is also available today following the exclusive premiere with People.

Listen to “Momma Don’t Pray Like She Used To” HERE. Watch the music video Below.
 
“Momma Don’t Pray Like She Used To” is a universal anthem for all of us growing up and figuring out life,” shares Craft. “When first brainstorming ideas around the revisiting of this song, my hope was to find someone who could give an honest, heartfelt, male perspective to the storyline. In all the years that I’ve had the opportunity to tour with Chase Rice, his storytelling is something I wholeheartedly connected with, and with both of us having Carolina upbringings, it felt like the perfect fit for this project. I feel like he added a whole new layer of meaning and made himself right at home in this song!”
 
“I’ve gotten to know Ashland out on the road, and seeing her night after night, you realize pretty quick she’s a total badass,” says Rice. “This song is her story, but it’s mine too. I know my mom did more than her fair share of praying raising three boys, but I’d like to think I’m finally making things a little easier on her these days.”

About Chase Rice
Few artists have had the enduring impact on country music Chase Rice can claim – and fewer still possess the courage to leave it in the past, and blaze a new trail. A true singer-songwriter with success in both disciplines, Rice’s 15-year career has taken the Florida-born North Carolina native to chart peaks and global stages … but with his eighth studio album, ELDORA, his only destination is the American West. A 10x Platinum artist who burst onto the country scene as a Diamond certified songwriter (“Cruise”), while hits like “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and “Eyes On You” helped Rice post two No. 1’s at Country Radio, igniting a movement through chest-thumping euphoria and bold romantic passion. He sold out international tours and shared stadium billing with Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney, before leaving the major label system for good. Now, with full independence and over 3 billion streams to his credit, ELDORA signals Rice’s dedication to the storytelling craft. Written in Colorado and inspired by a hidden mountainside town, the 12-song set is easily the most raw, unguarded expression of Rice’s talent to date – born in the afterglow of an epic show at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Working hand-in-hand with co-writer/producer Oscar Charles, Rice adopts the unfiltered, rough-hewn approach of an off-the-grid maverick, both embodying the Western mystique, and boldly going where few of his stature would dare.

Deeply influenced by her honky-tonk, South Carolina roots, and drawing inspiration from legends like Def Leppard, Chris Stapleton, Bonnie Raitt, The Chicks and Sheryl Crow, Craft has been praised by fans and industry alike, with American Songwriter declaring, “there’s a new country badass in town, and her name is Ashland Craft,” noting the “star quality flying out of her boots,” and Nashville Lifestyles adding, “with equal parts sass and strength, she’s poised to be a major voice in country music.” Her prowess can now be heard on most recent project release Dive Bar Beauty Queen, available now and featuring current radio single, “Kick Rocks Cowboy.” In addition to ongoing music releases, Craft has shared the stage with notable names like Zac Brown Band, Ashley McBryde, Marcus King, Cody Johnson, Brothers Osborne, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Ian Munsick and Elvie Shane. Most recently, she supported Cody Johnson on The Leather Tour, Tucker Wetmore on his Waves on a Sunset Tour and Luke Bryan on his Country Song Come On Tour.

“Time Goes On” as Koe Wetzel Continues Musical Ascent

Rolling Stone’s “ultimate if-you-know-you-know artist” Koe Wetzel continues to impress with today’s reflective release of “Time Goes On.” Following a steady stream of social media teases and fan anticipation, the track offers a clear-eyed look at change, growth and the passage of time. Listen HERE, and watch the Michael Herrick-directed visualizer shot at Bluejack National in Texas Below.
 
“We wrote this as an acknowledgment of how quickly life moves, whether you embrace the changes that come with it or not,” Wetzel reflects.
 
The track co-written by Wetzel with frequent collaborators Amy Allen, Carrie Karpinen, Josh Serrato and producer Gabe Simon continues Wetzel’s tradition of pairing introspective songwriting with the signature rock-grunge-meets-country swagger that has defined his career.

The release follows “Surrounded,” which introduced this next chapter and reaffirmed Wetzel’s ability to balance vulnerability with confidence. Together, the songs serve as early markers for a broader body of work that has been quietly taking shape behind the scenes. 
 
In the weeks leading up to today’s release, Wetzel has steadily teased “Time Goes On” across his social media channels, quickly sparking fan anticipation and signaling excitement for the next era of music, as he can be heard hinting that this might be “one of my favorites off the record” in one clip.
 
The new music follows Wetzel’s 2024 studio album, 9 Lives, with debut Country radio single “High Road” (feat. Jessie Murph) holding the No. 1 spot for five weeks and earning recognition as the most-played song of 2025 by Country Aircheck/Mediabase.

About Koe Wetzel
Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn’t tear down. The Texan singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop, and even Nineties grunge. With his defining fifth studio album, the Gold-certified 9 Lives released in 2024 via Columbia Records, Wetzel earned recognition on several major year-end best-of lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard, the Tennessean and more, with the Los Angeles Times naming lead single “High Road” (feat. Jessie Murph) as the No. 8 best song of 2024 across all genres. The single not only marked Wetzel’s debut at Country radio, it also held the No. 1 spot for five weeks, was the most-played song of 2025 per Country Aircheck/Mediabase and the now-3x Platinum song became his fastest to reach the RIAA Platinum milestone to date. Previously, his 2016 album Noise Complaint endeared him to fans with its no-holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts and stints in jail, and included the Gold-certified hit “Love” (feat. Parker McCollum), Platinum “Something to Talk About” plus the infamous “February 28, 2016.” Wetzel’s 2020 major label debut, the Gold-certified Sellout, only furthered his legend with the Platinum-certified “Drunk Driving” and “Good Die Young” plus the Gold-certified “Kuntry & Wistern.” The 2022 follow-up, Hell Paso, hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums and spawned hits on both the country and rock charts, including the Gold-certified “Creeps” and “Cabo.” To date, Wetzel has amassed 4.2 billion total streams and has created a genuine experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” Wetzel performed for more than 250,000 fans across his headlining Damn Near Normal Tour in 2025, while also supporting HARDY’s Jim Bob World Tour and select stadium dates with Morgan Wallen.
