Schmitty Signs with The Neal Agency

September 10, 2025

As Midwest native and Warner Chappell Music singer-songwriter Schmitty prepares to release his debut six-song EP, Office With A View, available everywhere this Friday, he’s signed with The Neal Agency (TNA) for booking.

"I couldn’t think of a better home for my booking than The Neal Agency. Jake, Ryan, and the team feel like family and share the same values I grew up with back home in the Midwest,” shares Schmitty. “With a roster that looks like my playlist and a winning culture all around, it’s a dream come true. Let’s get to work!"

TNA agent Jake Moore added, “We are thrilled to welcome Schmitty to our roster. His mix of raw talent and storytelling instantly stood out.”

Office With A View blends Schmitty’s wild child spirit and the down-home morals that shaped him during his years growing up and working on his family farm in Washburn, North Dakota, along the rural banks of the Missouri River. Inspired early on by stories of his paternal grandpa’s Hall of Fame barbershop quartet, The Schmitt Brothers, he was taught his first guitar chords at 13 by a bluegrass-picking neighbor, he recalls: “That’s where the music bug bit me.”

Leaving behind his tractor seat as a third-generation grain farmer to chase his dream in Nashville, Schmitty draws from the influences his family instilled - The Eagles to The Allman Brothers - while shaping his own jam-band storyteller aura.

Heartfelt lyrics and candid honesty have elevated his social media presence, with one YouTube share sparking millions in conversation - affirming his belief that God truly put him on this earth to create music. Pulling from his own journey - the highs, lows and lessons learned - he writes with a grounded authenticity that connects heart to heart with listeners.

With previously released songs like “Cadillac,” “This Side of the Porchlight,” and debut album title track “Office With A View,” Schmitty keeps one foot planted firmly in the dirt that raised him while building a foundation for what’s ahead. With new music on the horizon and a growing calendar of shows, Schmitty is represented by Warner Chappell’s Jessi Stevenson for publishing and Fusion Music’s Dylan McGraw and Daniel Miller for management.

Office With A View will be distributed by Cmd Shft.

JOE: A Real American Hero, is preparing to take New York by storm. The show will take place on October 11th, the same weekend as NYC’s Comic Con, where the Gramercy Theatre will be conquered by an explosive sonic force that fuses nostalgia with a modern metal powerhouse. Get your tickets HERE.

Zartan comments on the forthcoming NYC show:

"Well, well, it seems as though there are several potential recruits whom have a desire to join our small but elite society of Dreadnoks... This time in New York City! Our services are once again called upon by Cobra Commander and Reigning Phoenix Music to melt minds with Cold Slither! So be it, my Dreadnoks and I will see you all October 11th...

Seattle's AudioGust packs a post-grunge punch on 'Isotope', previewing new album

September 10, 2025

Seattle-based artist AudioGust presents his new single 'Isotope', which packs a fierce post-grunge punch, while delivering a song that is both emotionally and sonically heavy. This is the first track on the coming 'Falling From Down' album — his most unflinching yet — a journey through collapse, resilience, and the fragile beauty of survival.

AudioGust is accomplished songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Evans, whose journey started as a guitarist and bassist in various 1980s bands. After a decades-long detour in the software industry, he has returned to his true passion - writing and recording in his own studio, releasing loads of music and collaborating with artists worldwide.

“’Isotope’ is about the kind of relationship that doesn’t just fade when it ends — it lingers like radiation in your bones. I wanted to capture that mix of danger, longing, and intensity, where even after someone’s gone, their presence still feels unstable and powerful inside you. It's about when someone leaves but doesn’t really leave. Their absence keeps echoing inside you, and it’s not just memory — it’s something volatile that you can’t shake,” says Chris Evans.

This is the sound of modern rock with teeth and a declaration that the coming album won’t pull any punches. With jagged guitar riffs and an explosive chorus, the track captures the volatility of an explosive relationship, its lyrics blurring memory, longing, and haunting echoes of what’s been lost.

With powerful, emotionally resonant music, AudioGust is known for his ability to blend high-energy performances with deeply personal storytelling. He has released over four dozen songs across multiple albums and EPs, including his debut 'Walk With Me', follow-ups 'Hope from Darkness' and 'Love and Pain', and his second album 'Here We Go Again' (2025).

AudioGust's coming third album, 'Falling From Down', showcases a harder-edged post-grunge and modern rock sound while retaining the melodic hooks and storytelling that have become his signature. Combining raw rock intensity with strong melodies and emotionally resonant lyrics, AudioGust's tracks are full of energy and memorable hooks, reflecting both a deep understanding of rock’s past and a fresh, contemporary approach. His songs resonate long after the last note fades.

Crafting memorable melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, upbeat rhythms and arrangements, AudioGust's music speaks to the disenchanted and dreamers alike through sonic explorations of the modern human condition. AudioGust was also a finalist in the 2024 USA Songwriting Contest. Writing hooky anthems, AudioGust creates a sound vortex imbued with 90’s to 2000’s alt-rock, his guitar-driven music brings in a strong, driving rhythm section, big choruses and even bigger bridge sections.

Earlier this year, AudioGust released 'Here We Go Again', an album that includes some of his most popular singles, along with new material. It explores the highs and lows of creativity, touching on the unpredictable nature of inspiration—both the exhilarating moments when it strikes and the emptiness when it fades.

'Isotope' is out now, available from online music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The full album will be released on November 7.

About TRIBAL GAZE:

Arising from the scorched earth of Texas, Tribal Gaze return with “Inveighing Brilliance”, a death metal monolith shaped by ancient violence and unforgiving truth. Recently signed to Nuclear Blast Records, the band conjures visions of primal wrath and nihilistic clarity—a sound rooted in the rawness of old-school death metal but sharpened with modern intent. From their name, inspired by unseen forces watching from deep forests, to the crushing weight of their riffs, Tribal Gaze channels something ancient, unknown, and violently present.

“Inveighing Brilliance” is a meditation on the illusion of beauty in nature and existence, and how it pertains to both Mother Nature, and our wretched, human society. Even in moments of light, brutality lurks—eggs are stolen from nests, flesh is torn for survival. This album dissects this duality, revealing the suffering embedded in every living moment. With digital artwork by Dom Pabon (Final Resting Place) that evokes sci-fi decay and meditations of ancient ruin, the album looks and sounds like a lost realm where reality fractures under the pressure of its own contradictions.

Tracks like “Beyond Recognition” and “To the Spoils of Faith” expand on these apocalyptic themes. The former imagines an outside force annihilating humanity in judgment of its arrogance, built on some of the band’s most punishing riffs to date—swinging between chaos, groove, and sheer obliteration. The latter churns with mechanized fury and contempt for blind belief, echoing Meshuggah-like timing with lyrics that drag faith to its own ironic hell. Across the record, Tribal Gaze capture the violence of thought and sound in equal measure—uncompromising and vividly self-aware.

Their ascent to Nuclear Blast was anything but formulaic. After leveling stages on tour with Frozen Soul, the band caught the attention of legendary A&R Monte Conner, who waited outside a venue in New York just to share his admiration. That moment solidified a new chapter for Tribal Gaze—a label that values creative freedom and pushes bands to expand without dilution. With “Inveighing Brilliance”, they’ve done just that: stripped away illusion, stared into the abyss, and made it echo.

CLOCKTOWERS Unleash Powerful New Single “Ashes” from Upcoming Record 'Genesis'

September 10, 2025

CLOCKTOWERS have released their new single “Ashes,” the centerpiece of their upcoming debut record Genesis. Formed in 2022 by Tarek Puska and Dakota Logan after a chance reunion in Reily, Ohio, the band quickly rediscovered the chemistry built during their years together in a previous metal project. What began as an impromptu jam soon became a focused writing partnership, leading to a record that merges generations of influence into a sound that is unmistakably their own.

“Ashes” showcases that identity with striking clarity. The song begins with a hypnotic riff before crashing into full force, weaving articulate guitars, a driving rhythm, and vocals that carry both grit and vulnerability. The track shifts between moments of groove and intensity, giving it a dynamic edge that feels alive and unpredictable.

The lyrics pull directly from experience. Written during the aftermath of a decade-long marriage, “Ashes” confronts separation, regret, and the possibility of reconciliation. Its emotional weight is underscored by a performance that refuses to hide behind artifice. The words, the delivery, and the music all carry the same unfiltered honesty.

For the single, CLOCKTOWERS were joined by Jason Viebrooks (HEATHEN, GRIP INC., EXHORDER) on bass and guitar alongside Dakota, and Todd J. Farler on drums, whose sharp, swinging energy adds another layer of urgency. While the record Genesis remains a two-man effort with Tarek on vocals and Dakota on instruments, these contributions brought “Ashes” into sharper focus without diluting the band’s vision.

The accompanying video captures the song’s intimacy and intensity, with Tarek performing the lyrics directly to his wife off-camera. The single artwork, portraying a redhead, continues that personal thread, grounding the release in the story that inspired it.

With Genesis soon to follow, “Ashes” marks the arrival of CLOCKTOWERS with a sound that is bold, urgent, and entirely their own.

About CLOCKTOWERS:

CLOCKTOWERS is a genre-blending rock/metal duo that proves lightning can strike twice—first in the past, then in the most unexpected moment years later. The band was officially born in 2022, but the story begins long before that.

Vocalist Tarek Puska and multi-instrumentalist Dakota Logan first crossed paths in an earlier metal outfit that spent five years grinding through shows, songwriting sessions, and the chaotic rhythm of band life. Life eventually pulled them in different directions—but fate clearly had other plans. Years later, in the unassuming town of Reily, Ohio, the two reconnected by chance at a local pizza joint. A quick conversation turned into a jam session. One riff became a song—“Spirit Junkie”—and by the end of that session, CLOCKTOWERS had begun.

What followed was a creative eruption. Tarek and Dakota fell into a regular routine, meeting 2 to 3 days per week to write, explore sounds, and record from the ground up in a DIY home studio setting. Over the next two years, this process grew into their debut full-length album, Genesis—a record that pulses with heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and the kind of authenticity that only comes from lived experience and musical trust.

At its core, CLOCKTOWERS thrives on contrast and chemistry. Tarek, born in 1969, brings a lifetime of hard-earned perspective and vocal power rooted in classic metal and rock traditions. Dakota, born in 1995, injects fresh energy, fearless experimentation, and a modern edge that pushes the sound into uncharted territory. Their 25-year age gap isn’t a limitation—it’s a superpower. It allows the band to seamlessly blend old-school grit with new-school fire, delivering music that’s nostalgic without being dated, current without being trendy.

CLOCKTOWERS draws inspiration from a wide palette of heavy music: the swagger and electricity of AC/DC, the doom-soaked weight of BLACK SABBATH, the eerie theatricality of GHOST, the brooding darkness of TYPE O NEGATIVE, the bombast of KISS, and the razor-sharp muscle of METALLICA. Yet, these aren’t just influences—they’re launch pads. CLOCKTOWERS takes what’s familiar and twists it into something personal and raw, layering in textures, emotions, and hooks that make their sound unmistakable.

The band’s songwriting is deeply intentional. Some tracks stem directly from personal experience—loss, growth, heartbreak, and perseverance—while others flow from instinct and emotion, letting the pen follow the pulse of the heart. The result is music that hits hard not just sonically, but emotionally. Big choruses, pounding grooves, and intricate guitar work are matched with lyrics that are introspective, honest, and often cathartic.

One of their standout tracks, “Ashes,” caught the attention of Jason Viebrooks, known for his work with HEATHEN, GRIP INC., and now EXHORDER. Viebrooks lent his talents on bass and guitar alongside Dakota for the single, while Todd J. Farler, a seasoned drummer from Cincinnati, added a thunderous groove that elevated the track even further. It’s the only track on the record that features guest musicians—every other note, riff, and lyric on Genesis comes straight from the two founding members. That was a deliberate decision. CLOCKTOWERS is about preserving a raw, undiluted vision. No filler. No compromises.

With Genesis, CLOCKTOWERS has positioned itself not just as a band, but as a statement—a declaration that real, passionate, no-bullshit rock and metal is alive, evolving, and still capable of hitting you straight in the soul. Whether you’re a lifer raised on vinyl and leather jackets, or a newcomer looking for authenticity in a crowded digital landscape, CLOCKTOWERS offers something that resonates.

This is music forged in connection. Fueled by memory. Driven by instinct. And played with the kind of conviction that can only come from two people who live and breathe it.

How Stoned Jesus Reached New Highs on "Low"

September 10, 2025

While they've blazed through folk, prog, pop and alternative rock following their first sip of doom metal, after 15 years, Stoned Jesusare still reaching new creative peaks. On the latest single from the band's mind-melting new album, Songs to Sun, the heavy progressive rockers rose above personal lows by doing something they've never done before: blast beats and harsh vocals.

Today, frontman Igor Sydorenko is releasing a new video that shows how to play and how he wrote "Low". Thanks to a simple riff and instant chemistry shared between Sydorenko and his new rhythm section, the band stopped worrying about pleasing people and blasted out the heaviest song in Stoned Jesus' wide-ranging discography.

"This is probably the happiest I've been creatively in Stoned Jesus", Sydorenko says. "With both Andrew and Yuri now in the band, we can experiment as deep as we can.

"Even though, we are currently working on the darker follow-up to Songs to Sun", he continues, "the three of us are constantly laughing all the time".

Watch Igor Sydorenko explain how to play and how he wrote "Low" below:

Songs to Sun comes out September 19, 2025 on Season of Mist.

But by merging metal’s fiery intensity with mind-melting grooves, vintage prog and their catchiest choruses yet, they bring the many distinct phases of Stoned Jesus to a bright, burning head.

The video for “Shadowland: how to play it & how I wrote it” was written and filmed by Igor Sydorenko. It was edited by Radion Yakumenko.

L.A. Hard Rock Rising Stars S8NT ELEKTRIC Drop Video for New Single "Peace of Myself"

September 10, 2025

S8NT ELEKTRIC have quickly become a force in the heavy music scene, not just for their innovative rock sound – a collision of crushing riffs and infectious pop hooks – but for their commitment to truly living "OFF THE EDGE." This isn't just a motto; it's a lifestyle, demonstrated by their death-defying stunts including being circled by drift cars and skydiving.

Founded on the bold vision of singer Bri Carbajal and lead guitarist Niko Tsangaris, and brought to life by the talents of Trey Baker (drums), Sinner (guitar), and Harrison Forsythe (bass), S8NT ELEKTRIC use their adrenaline junkie attitude and honest songwriting to inspire listeners to confront their fears and chase their dreams. The band has toured Europe every summer, opening for artists like Wolfmother, Mammoth WVH, MC5, Dirty Honey, and WARGASM, as well as playing huge festivals such as Bottlerock, Rockville, Prague Rocks, and Azkena Rocks.

With "PEACE OF MYSELF," S8NT ELEKTRIC are releasing a new single and video today. It is the third track from their debut album OFF THE EDGE, which will be released in Fall 2025.

Watch the "PEACE OF MYSELF" video below.

Stream the single here.

"'PEACE OF MYSELF' is a song about finally saying what you really feel. We can become victims to people-pleasing, and in the process of trying to make everyone like us, we completely lose ourselves. There's a breaking point you reach when you've tried so hard to keep the peace, only to realize that it will never be enough. For us, this song is that exact moment. The moment that you refuse to make yourself small enough to fit into someone else's world and learn to embrace your true self, even if people don't like it," comments S8NT ELEKTRIC.

S8NT ELEKTRIC ARE:
Bri Carbajal — Vocals
Niko Tsangaris — Guitar

ALL HELL - Sunsetter

September 9, 2025

ALL HELL returns from the shadows with their fifth full-length album, Sunsetter, arriving October 10, 2025 on Terminus Hate City. From their origins in Asheville, North Carolina in 2013, the band has carved a singular path through the underground, blending elements of first wave black metal, deathrock, punk, and film score atmospheres into something entirely their own. Sunsetter is the culmination of years of evolution and hardship, a concept record that stretches from ancient myth to modern apocalypse, driven by fire, blood, and vision.

The band (Jacob Curwen on guitar and vocals, Erik Ballantyne on bass, and Elanti on drums) began work on Sunsetter after the release of 2019’s The Witch’s Grail. Progress was slow and plagued by constant disruption. The pandemic struck, personal tragedies followed, and devastating floods hit their home region. In the midst of all this, the band found themselves burned out and disillusioned with metal entirely. But after stepping back and rediscovering their creative hunger, they emerged with a record that is not only their most metal release to date, but also their most fully realized.

Sunsetter tells a sprawling, violent tale of exile, rebirth, and cosmic vengeance. The story begins in ancient times with the curse of Cain, the first murderer, cast into the land of Nod where he joins with Lilith, the exiled first wife of Adam. From their union comes a cursed bloodline. The album’s opening track, “Exiled into Nod,” skips any slow buildup and immediately drops the listener into the chaos of this mythic prayer. It is followed by “Dominus Sanguis, Domina Nox,” a dark hymn to the Lord of Blood and the Lady of Night, and then “The Violent Brood,” a classic ALL HELL track that portrays the frenzy of being hunted by Cain's spawn.

“The Bleeding” flips the perspective and explores the mind of a predator, with a guest solo from Nate Garnette of SKELETONWITCH adding another layer of menace. The title track, “Sunsetter,” takes a more triumphant tone, capturing the defiance and pride of the children of Cain as they reject the sun and claim dominion over the night. Its straightforward power made it the obvious choice for the album’s name.

Side two of the album begins with “The Flood and the Death,” a cinematic, spoken-word interlude that sets the stage for a shift in time. The next chapter takes place centuries later, where the bloodline of Cain has survived the flood and reemerges in the present. “Behold the Night” brings this rebirth to life with driving energy and shifting dynamics. “Path of Cain” offers a darkly anthemic reflection on lineage, sin, and survival.

The final act of the album accelerates toward doom. “Sacrifice to Shadow” portrays a cult's plea for the return of their ancient masters, while “The Ancients Rise” delivers on that prophecy with grinding riffs and ominous brass that call back to the album’s ancient beginnings. The closing track, “The Outer Night,” brings it all to an end. It begins with militaristic urgency, climbs to apocalyptic grandeur, and fades into the cold silence of a world overrun. Cain and Lilith return, and the sun sets for the last time.

The album was recorded, mixed, and engineered by Chris Adams at Hidden Audio, with mastering by Jacob Curwen. The visual aesthetic, including the album art, was also created by Curwen, preserving the band’s independent and uncompromising approach.

The sun fades. The night takes hold. The world belongs to ALL HELL.

About ALL HELL:

ALL HELL is a blackened metal trio from Asheville, North Carolina, known for their relentless fusion of first wave black metal, deathrock, punk, and horror-driven storytelling. Since forming in 2013, the band has carved out a distinct identity rooted in occult themes, razor-sharp riffs, and a fierce DIY ethos. Their sound is aggressive, stripped-down, and deeply atmospheric — a raw, unfiltered descent into myth, violence, and the supernatural.

With five full-length albums and an EP to their name, including 2025’s apocalyptic concept record Sunsetter, ALL HELL has evolved from a local cult favorite into a powerful underground force. Their live presence has taken them across the U.S., sharing stages with acts like RINGWORM, BLACK TUSK, PROFANATICA, and TURN COLD, and performing at festivals such as Decibel Metal and Beer Fest, Dark Lord Day, and RPM Fest.

The current lineup, Jacob Curwen (guitar and vocals), Erik Ballantyne (bass), and Elanti (drums), continues to push the band’s sound forward while staying true to its core. With each release, ALL HELL digs deeper into a unique mythos that spans history, horror, and apocalypse, embracing the dark, the ugly, and the eternal night.

Ray Luzier & Billy Sheehan Join KALAMITY KILLS on “I Don’t Know”

September 8, 2025

Rising rock force KALAMITY KILLS unleashes a bold and reverent take on “I Don’t Know” with their latest video release, featuring powerhouse drummer Ray Luzier (KORN) and legendary bassist Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, THE WINERY DOGS). This electrifying reinterpretation of the classic track pays homage to the enduring legacy of the Prince of Darkness himself: OZZY OSBOURNE.

The idea for the tribute was sparked after the band witnessed OZZY’s final performance at the Back to the Beginning Concert in Birmingham, England. Deeply moved, KALAMITY KILLS set out to honor the icon who shaped so much of their musical DNA.

Guitarist JAMEY PERRENOT, whose playing is deeply influenced by the late, great RANDY RHOADS, infused this version of “I Don’t Know” with both reverence and fire. Fans of OZZY will also hear subtle nods to other classics woven throughout: a sonic Easter egg hunt for the diehards.

Special thanks to Ray Luzier and Billy Sheehan for joining the sonic rebellion on this one.

The release also comes with news that the Expanded Edition of Kalamity Kills will be available on September 9, 2025. This edition will include brand-new tracks, alternate mixes, and exclusive content on CD in limited quantities. A candy apple red vinyl edition is set to follow in April 2026.

About KALAMITY KILLS

KALAMITY KILLS is a hard rock band forged in the heart of East Nashville, Tennessee. Formed in 2022 by vocalist Jamie Rowe and guitarist/producer Jamey Perrenot, the band emerged from the ashes of a solo project into a fully realized sonic assault—fueled by raw emotion, modern aggression, and a deep respect for rock’s roots. With a sound that fuses the swagger of classic hard rock with the intensity and polish of modern metal, KALAMITY KILLS strikes a rare balance between power and vulnerability.

Best known for their debut self-titled album Kalamity Kills, the band quickly turned heads thanks to high-profile collaborations with members of KORN, 3 DOORS DOWN, LA GUNS, CONQUER DIVIDE, and UNDEROATH. Their music has earned national airplay on SIRIUSXM’s Octane, landed on the Billboard Active Rock charts, and crossed over into viral success without ever chasing trends.

More than just a studio project, KALAMITY KILLS is a growing force with a full live lineup, including bassist/vocalist Julia Lauren Bullock and drummer Rob Bodley. Their songs—ranging from explosive anthems to brutally honest ballads—tackle themes of faith, failure, hypocrisy, redemption, and the messy beauty of being human.

KALAMITY KILLS is for the outsiders, the misfits, the ones who’ve been burned and are still standing. Loud. Unapologetic. Unforgettable.
KALAMITY KILLS is:

Jamie Rowe – Lead Vocals
Jamey Perrenot – Guitar / Producer
Julia Lauren Bullock – Bass / Vocals (Live)
Rob Bodley – Drums (Live)

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG Open the Gates to Babylon with Title Track; New Single & Music Video Out Now

September 8, 2025

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG (DATOG) have unleashed Babylon, the monumental title track from their upcoming album, set for release on October 3, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

DATOG’s Babylon pulls you in with eastern-tinged melodies and takes you on a magic carpet ride through lands of myth and mystery.

The band describes the song so: “‘Babylon’ is an absolutely worthy title track. Featuring a pounding, ultra-hard riff, plus the vocal melodies of Udo, Peter and Manuela that transport you straight into a fairy tale from “One Thousand and One Nights.” The guitar arrangements and especially Mathias' solo guitar work support the imaginative atmosphere and drive the song to its absolute climax.”

Lyrically, Babylon invites listeners to walk the world of wonders where every tale is true - through mystic havens, desert nights, and golden treasures shining bright for the Holy Queen of Babylon. It’s a song that dares to cross the line between fantasy and heavy metal firepower, guiding fans into a place “where the holy gate’s gonna be your fate.”

Watch it below.

RICK HUGHES DELIVERS A SPECTACULAR SOLO ALBUM WITH 'REDEMPTION,' REUNITES MEMBERS OF ONE OF OZZY'S BEST LINE-UPS FOR COVER OF THE WHO'S "THE REAL ME"

September 7, 2025

Canadian-born Rick Hughes is renowned for his powerful and rangey voice as the lead singer of the legendary metal band Sword, and of the hard-rock band Saints & Sinners. A seasoned performer with hundreds of headlining shows in Canada, America, Europe and Japan over the years, and his superb stage performances while opening for bands such as Metallica, Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Black Label Society, etc.

So when it was time for him to record ‘’Redemption’’, his first international solo album, he spared no expenses and efforts to make this album a great one, hiring producer John Webster (Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, AC/DC, etc.) and renting HippoSonic Recording Studio (formerly known as Little Mountain Studios) in Vancouver to record this opus.

The first salvo is came out September 5, 2025, and it is quite an event in itself: his first single and video is a supercharged version of The Who’s classic ‘’The Real Me’’ - reuniting after 43 years Ozzy Osbourne’s superband consisting of Brad Gillis on guitar, Rudy Sarzo on bass, and Tommy Aldridge on drums. This is the band that did the last leg of the ‘’Diary of a Madman Tour’’ in 1982 after the tragic departure of the great Randy Rhoads, and that then recorded Ozzy’s classic live album ‘’Speak of the Devil’’.

"The Real Me" video can be viewed below , while the single can be streamed at https://push.fm/ps/ilgjszby.

Pick up the Limited Edition Bundle (100 copies) that includes a collectible 7” vinyl of the “Real Me” signed by Rick Hughes, Brad Gillis, Tommy Aldridge, and Rudy Sarzo.

Pre-order limited edition releases here: https://www.dekoentertainment.com/inthesquare/rick-hughes

The resulting sound is epic, and so is the spectacular video that was shot and directed by Matthew Lucas (Kringle Time, Moonshot, We Meet Again, etc.) at the state-of-the-art L.A. Castle Studios, with post and editing by Montreal’s Jean-Marc Laurin (Jurassic World, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Game of Thrones, Assassin's Creed, etc.).

''The Real Me stands as a cornerstone of my album 'Redemption'," says Rick. "As a lifelong fan of The Who, I wanted to pay tribute to the golden age of 70s rock. To capture that spirit, I brought together a true supergroup with Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Brad Gillis, a unique moment where legends unite to breathe new life into a classic.''

"This very special song is part of the upcoming Rick Hughes Album 'Redemption,' a collection of great rock songs to be released on Friday, October 24 2025 on CD, Vinyl, and Digital format worldwide by Deko Entertainment, and featuring more great collaborations with some famous musicians.

Included are 2 more songs featuring the superb songwriting and inspired guitar playing of the great Brad Gillis, another featuring the extraordinary talent of The Door’s legendary guitarist Robby Krieger, and great contributions from rock royalty Lee Aaron, vocal powerhouse Amy Keys (Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Toto, Sting, Stevie Wonder, etc.), rising guitar hot shot Jacob Deraps, as well as Rick’s gifted sister, Lulu Hughes.

With its great performances, 'Redemption' is a very special and unique rock album that brings together 7 songs in English, 1 bilingual and 2 songs in French.

BLACKLIST UNION Release New Single "Dyin' 4 U"; New Full Length Album "Slay The Dragon" Drops 9/12

September 7, 2025

Blacklist Union has officially released their latest single, “Dyin' 4 U,” available now on all streaming platforms.

The track delivers a raw and emotional punch, drawing from frontman Tony West’spersonal struggles. “‘Dyin’ 4 U’ is about the hideous divorce and pain I went through and even though I still deeply love her, I refuse to die for her,” West shares.

“Dyin’ 4 U” is taken from the band’s highly anticipated upcoming album, Slay the Dragon, scheduled for release on September 12, 2025. The record will mark Blacklist Union’s sixth full-length release, further cementing their place as one of modern hard rock’s most uncompromising voices.

With their signature mix of gritty rock ’n’ roll attitude and unflinching honesty, Blacklist Union continues to deliver music that is as powerful as it is personal.

https://untd.io/r/Ay5V4DQT4Vnc

https://linktr.ee/blacklistunion

Blacklist Union have built a reputation on their explosive live shows and unapologetically bold sound. Their previous record, Letters from the Psych Ward, racked up over two million streams, setting the stage for the band’s new album.

Frontman Tony West, known for his larger-than-life presence, took time out to dive deep into several transformative ayahuasca journeys in the heart of the Amazon, preparing for this next era of music.

As Tony put it, “Ayahuasca isn’t a drug—it’s powerful spiritual medicine from another realm. It helped me heal in ways I never thought possible, releasing layers of trauma, heartache, and sorrow. I’m not perfect—not Gandhi or anything—but it changed everything. My entire view of myself, love, the world, people, and my children changed because of those experiences.”

"Dyin' 4 U" was written by Tony West / Christopher Johnson, produced and mixed by Christopher Johnson. It was recorded at East West Studios in Hollywood, CA.

Blacklist Union frontman Tony West was raised in the Bronx on The Ramones, Bad Brains, and NYHC. Hearing the call of the wild west, he made his way to Los Angeles at 19 years old.

Tony took a break from L.A. to try out Memphis in 1998. While he was there, he attended the first Saliva gig with Paul Crosby on drums. This marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Paul and Tony, leading to management, song collaborations, and guest appearances in a few videos. Tony collaborated with guitarist Todd Youth (Murphy’s Law /Danzig) and Malfunkshun, which was kept active by Andy Wood’s brother Kevin Wood. Andy Wood is Tony’s muse, and he was honored to sing in his hero’s band.

I formed Blacklist Union because I wanted to play music that I wanted to hear, and we put out the first Blacklist Union record, After the Mourning, in 2006. The band’s name comes from getting the best musicians with the worst reputations in town. With a shamanistic blend of Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N’ Roses, Warrior Soul, The Cult, and Mother Love Bone... Blacklist Union was born.

Mexican metal band JET JAGUAR have released the video for new single "Fool's Paradise" today. The song appears on their upcoming album Severance out October 24.

"A biting satire aimed at far-right ideology and conspiracy culture, 'Fool’s Paradise' is a first-person mockery of the anti-science mindset," the band says.

Brantley Gilbert Releases New Single "Want You Back" + 'Greatest Hits...So Far' Available 12/12

September 6, 2025

Multi-Platinum country rocker Brantley Gilbert returns to Country radio with a clever twist on heartbreak in his single, “Want You Back,” out now via The Valory Music Co. The track made its global premiere yesterday exclusively on Country radio, before going wide across all digital platforms today. Listen to “Want You Back” Below.

With its 90s-meets-modern-country sound, pedal steel woven into his signature rock edge and a hook that's instantly addictive, “Want You Back” finds Gilbert leaning into tongue-in-cheek humor, wishing his ex had done him dirty so he’d have a reason to move on. Written by Gilbert with HARDY, Hunter Phelps and Will Weatherly, and produced by Gilbert, Weatherly and Brock Berryhill, the single proves even heartache can come with a grin:

Today’s release will be found on Gilbert’s forthcoming Greatest Hits…So Far, available December 12 via The Valory Music Co., along with previously unreleased songs “Real American” and “Ride With Me.” Pre-save/pre-add Greatest Hits…So Far HERE.

PRESIDENT Share "Destroy Me" Video — WATCH // "King Of Terrors" EP Out 9/27

September 6, 2025

Multi-million streaming artist PRESIDENT has released the powerful and emotive single "Destroy Me."

Watch the video below. Listen to the song here.

Already a fan-favorite from the live shows, the track is taken from the debut EP, King of Terrors, which is set for release on September 26. Pre-order it here.

The EP title, drawn from a Biblical reference, frames the EP's exploration of themes such as darkness, religion, and the ultimate maker of life: Death.

Following the release of King of Terrors and a string of rallying live appearances, PRESIDENT will embark on The Campaign Trail — their inaugural U.K. headline tour as well as U.S. rallies. The run marks a pivotal moment in the movement, calling citizens across the country to stand united beneath the banner of belief, volume, and resistance. Each night will be more than a performance — it will be a statement.

"We never set out to lead. But when enough people walk beside you, it becomes a march. The Campaign Trail is for everyone who's felt something stir inside them. Now is the time to raise your voice."

U.S. RALLIES:
12/3 — New York, NY — Gramercy Theatre
12/8 — Los Angeles, CA — The Roxy Theatre

KING OF TERRORS The Inaugural EP.

Forged in solitude. Shaped by memory.
These are chapters drawn from the
shadows we tend to sidestep—
because facing them demands more
than most are willing to give.

PRESIDENT began as an attempt to
confront the uncomfortable.
To watch others embrace that
confrontation has been quietly profound.
There is still work to be done.
We press forward.

Operating at the intersection of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and cinematic atmosphere, PRESIDENT doesn't conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity. Prioritizing intent over image and shifting the spotlight away from those who have created this movement, firmly onto the music itself.

California Cowgirl: Annie Bosko’s Debut Album Arrives October 3

September 5, 2025

Working with producers Trent Willmon and David “Messy” Mescon, and writing alongside the likes of Mescon, Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum, Danny Myrick, Terri Jo Box and more, Bosko co-wrote over half the songs found on California Cowgirl, including the already released title track, “God Winks, “Tequila Time,” “Country Girls! (Who Run the World)” and “Heartburn” featuring Dwight Yoakam. The project also features tracks penned by Lainey Wilson, Garth Brooks and Hannah Dasher.

Bosko will join Dolly Parton for Dolly: Live in Las Vegas at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace on December 10, following her album release party on October 3 at Desert 5 Spot in Los Angeles. She is also set for a headlining performance at Nashville Dance Fest this Sunday, September 7 and a date supporting Jessica Simpson at Genesee Theatre on Saturday, September 20.

Rising singer/songwriter Annie Bosko is stepping into a new chapter with her debut album, California Cowgirl, arriving October 3 via QHMG/Stone Country Records. Growing up a farmer’s daughter, the collection reflects her West Coast roots that run deep in the heart of California’s agricultural country while blending her love of timeless storytelling with a sound that’s equal parts confident and catchy. Pre-save/pre-add California Cowgirl HERE.

“California Cowgirl is a colorful tapestry woven from the threads of my life — with a fabric for everyone,” shares Bosko. “From the grit of growing up a farmer’s daughter to the faith that’s kept me chasing my dreams, this album reveals both the tender and the tough sides of who I am. It carries the pioneer spirit of the West, the heartbeat of the American dream and a Golden State glow with country soul.”

To accompany today’s announcement, Bosko also releases a new studio version of “Honky Tonk Heartbeat,” a track fans may recognize from Ariat’s buzzed-about “Line-Men Dancing” campaign, featuring fellow Ariat ambassador and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy.

Penned by Bosko specifically for the campaign, Purdy leads his center Jake Brendel, retired tight end Bear Pascoe and a squad of Stanford University linemen in a choreographed line dance, bringing “Honky Tonk Heartbeat (Football Line-Men Dance)” to life:

Brooklyn's CLONE announces coming 'Care To Try' EP, with first offering 'Galvanized'

September 5, 2025

Brooklyn alt rockers CLONE have released their single 'Galvanized', an adrenaline-inducing offering that vibrantly foreshadows their new 'Care To Try' EP, out October 3 via Portland label Little Cloud Records.

Written over the past year with Clone's original lineup of LG Galleon (Dead Leaf Echo), Gregg Giufree (Pilot to Gunner), Max Idas and Dominick Turi, this EP was produced by LG Galleon and Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans, Brian Eno, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock, Iggy Pop, Helmet, Dresden Dolls) at his famed BC Studio (built with Brian Eno), and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (The White Stripes, Sonic Youth, Juliana Hatfield, Regina Spektor, Lloyd Cole).

The band has also announced autumn tour dates with current members LG Galleon, Paul Liziragga (Namesake) and Alex Cox (The Veldt) now joined by new drummers Avery Brooks and Jeremy Duvall.

“Sliding away from our standard programming, we have just a silly little live song about that moment when u first lock eyes with the possible “one” and think to yourself "could this be it?" - a moment frozen in time and then you both move into stimulated action.… galvanized," says LG Galleon.

"These songs were again recorded with the legendary Martin Bisi, who helped bring the determination and drive in the studio to the forefront when recording these songs. A different lineup makes for a novel live experience every time, yet always with incendiary results. The full tour in October should prove a very fruitful experience and we are looking forward to playing these new songs from the EP live."

Last year, Clone debuted their 'CL. 1' album and 12" vinyl LP, born from a seemingly lost wellspring of shared imagination and youthful transformative power, via Little Cloud and North Carolina's 5BC Records, previewed by the iconoclastic singles 'Immutable', 'Dividing Line' and 'Redeemer'.

A passionate attempt to revive the kind of music that once profoundly resonated with the isolated and vulnerable, Clone's music possesses a transformative power, capable of inspiring through its galvanizing, redemptive power. Drawing on the raw energy and boundless creativity of youth, Clone has created a personal sonic world that they now invite us all to experience.

The past few years has seen Clone tour with Christian Death, Twin Tribes, Wand, La Witch, Live Skull, and The Veldt, among others. With recent stops including SXSW, they continue touring, soon to appear at INKFEST and the Purple City Music Festivalin Providence, RI and Edmonton respectively.

'Galvanized' is out digitally, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. On October 3, the 'Care To Try' EP will be released on 7" vinyl, as well as digitally.
