Nashville-based alternative rock band Betcha released their brand new single "GREY SKIES" to all major platforms today along with the official music video. The single has already been picked up by The New Alt, New Noise and All New Rock Spotify Editorial Playlists!

The band is made up of four college best friends. What started as casual late night jams, has turned into tours all over the country with acts like The Band CAMINO, Kaleo, Matt Maeson, Judah & the Lion, and more.

Heard on SiriusXM's AltNation, their recent string of impressive singles, released over the course of 2020’s quarantine, “If That’s Alright,” “July,” “Closer to the Sun,” and “Deja Vu,” have proved them to be a rapidly emerging band with a distinctive fusion of sweetly stoned rock, alternative electronica, and punchy pop anthems. With features on Alt Press, SPIN, American Songwriter, and more, the recent tracks have garnered widespread acclaim from critics including Billboard who dubbed the band “your new favorite alt-rockers”Ones To Watch added to the praise and stated, “If you have any concerns about the softening presence of rock in today's music landscape, Betcha is here to remind you that rock is healthy, thriving, and here to stay.”

Catch them on their Midwest 2021 summer tour fresh off their latest release “GREY SKIES” out NOW!

"After spending most of 2020 writing hunkered down in our basement studio, we knew we needed a change of scene. Grey Skies was born out of a cross country road trip out west collaborating with writer/producer Nick Furlong (Papa Roach, Avicii, 5SOS, All Time Low). We built the track over sampled synthesizers with intrusive rock guitars and anthemic vocals to create what we think is very uniquely “Betcha”. The song and music video drops the day before our first headlining tour in over a year and a half. It is our first independent release after parting ways from Atlantic records back in February" says the band.

BETCHA is Charlie Greene (vocals), Ben Booth (Electric Guitar ), Taylor Dubray (Bass), and Chase Wofford on Drums.

Hailing from the great down under but headed straight to the top, Melbourne, Australia based alternative rockers THE UGLY KINGS have revealed the first details of their upcoming, highly anticipated new album, entitled Strange, Strange Times, slated for release on August 13, 2021 via Napalm Records.

Following 2018’s Darkness Is My Home, which was lauded by the likes of Classic Rock Magazine and Loud Mag upon release, with Strange, Strange Times, the four-piece is poised to turn heads and continues to infuse their foreboding alt-rock with blackened blues and gritty punk edge! THE UGLY KINGS channel the flavor of groups like Queens Of The Stone Age, Danzig and The White Stripes while preserving razor sharp, daringly introspective control with clever lyricism, addictive riffage and power blues flavor. The band’s revitalizing infusion of dark energy is evident, and showcases their ability to distort hard blues rock into dark, unique territories with perfection.

Give ear, as THE UGLY KINGS have just shared a first song taken from Strange, Strange Times! The punk-infused first single “Technodrone” bobs and shakes its way into the listeners soul with raucous energy, featuring driving rock riffage, unrelenting, dynamic percussion and crooning vocals.

Alt-Rock Icons COLD Release New Music Video for Standout Anthem “Quiet Now”

March 31, 2020

Impacting at Rock Radio Now

New COLD Album, The Things We Can’t Stop, Out Now | Order HERE

Music fans around the world all agree, it’s a little too “Quiet Now”. With bands losing their ability to bring live shows to fans, arts events coming to a complete standstill, and it feeling nearly silent as people remain safe inside their homes, now more than ever, it’s important for musicians to keep the music alive.

Gold-certified alt-rock icons COLD are doing just that with their heartfelt new track, “Quiet Now” – one of the standout anthems found on their latest Billboard-charting album and Napalm Records debut, The Things We Can’t Stop, out now. Coming at a time that loss is keenly felt and silence is at its most deafening, today, the band has revealed the haunting new visual for the track in the form of a brand new music video that will leave the viewer with chills.

As reflected in the video, vocalist Scooter Ward has stated that “Quiet Now” was initially inspired by the profound silence a person senses around them during or after a deep loss. The song was originally dedicated to a Cold Army member who had experienced such loss – but has taken on more meaning during these trying times.

Scooter Ward adds:

“I had written the song, “Quiet Now,” for a Cold Army member and dear friend, who had dealt with the loss of a family member during the recording of our new album. A photo was sent to me, of him and his father holding hands while his father was in the hospital… that photograph is what inspired the song. I knew the concept for the video needed to express the intense emotion of the song.

I contacted Patrick Huven from Ghost Motel and filmmaker Alex Schroer to direct and produce the video. I had previously watched their video for a song called “Hush” that they had created and loved the eeriness of it and their aesthetic. Patrick and I got together on the concept for the video being a mother mourning the loss of her child in solitude. We felt nothing could be more painful… the silence of it all. Not hearing the little sounds of a loved one who is no longer there.

However, the only problem was that he lives in Germany, and the distance would be an obstacle. We ended up shooting the story for the video in Germany and then my part here in the states. I reached out to our dear friend and amazing photographer, Dave Jackson, to film and direct my solo part. We filmed it in his studio in Wisconsin. The end result of the two merging together ended up being seamless and powerful.

With our world now being on lockdown and everyone experiencing their own levels of solitude, and a bit of silence, and with music being the conduit that holds us together, we felt now was the time to release the song. People are going through serious loss because of this on many levels, and music sometimes helps during these moments. Our hopes are that a song can maybe help people feel not so alone in it all. Our hopes are that with music, perseverance, and the determination that is within us to overcome, things can be somewhat back to normal again soon.

We love you all. Stay healthy and follow the guidelines to ensure your safety. Our hearts are with you.”

While online, keep the music playing and check out Breaking Benjamin’s emotive new track, “Far Away”, featuring Scooter Ward. Breaking Benjamin vocalist Benjamin Burnley recently stated in an Instagram post that in his youth, he was inspired by Ward, who brought “Far Away” to what it needed to be. See for yourself and check out the “Far Away” music video HERE.

The past year has been transcendent for COLD – peaking with the successful release of The Things We Can’t Stop, subsequent singles “Shine”, “Without You”, “The Devil We Know” and “Run”, and a North American comeback tour boasting several sold out shows. Billboard said it best: “Cold is heating up for a new era..."
