JELLY ROLL’S “LIAR” DOMINATES THE BILLBOARD COUNTRY AIRPLAY CHART FOR FOURTH-STRAIGHT WEEK

Award-winning, multi-genre phenomenon Jelly Roll scores his seventh #1 single with “Liar” on country radio (ninth career #1 overall). Solidifying the top spot on the Billboard Country Airplay chart for an entire month, the fiery single is the 4x Grammy nominee’s second time to dominate both charts with an emotively vocal track from his sophomore country album, Beautifully Broken. Listen HERE.

With the first being the striking “I Am Not Okay,Beautifully Broken debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart (all-genre). Cementing its place as one of the “Best Albums of 2024,” Billboard championed the “inmate to icon” (GQ)  for “changing the contours of what great country music can be.” 

‘Liar’ boldly confronts addiction and materialism’s emptiness, with Jelly Roll‘s raw honesty on full display and his vulnerability shining through as he tackles the heavy themes head-on.” - Billboard

“This man is going from strength to strength. This pulse-quickening country-rocker is brilliantly produced with pounding rhythm, stuttering guitar and inspirational choir. But the star attraction here is a stunning vocal performance, full of fire, fury and passion.” - MusicRow 

Most recently, the “Outlaw Superstar” (GQ) was one of the iconic entertainers who performed for Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary concert,  SNL50, live from Radio City. Honoring the great Johnny Cash, Jelly performed a medley of his hits as well as collaborated with Snoop Dogg. In addition to his announcement as an upcoming Artist in Residence mentor on American Idol and headlining run during 2025’s Stagecoach Festival, Jelly is also set to be a part of NBC’s Opry 100 special, airing live from the Grand Ole Opry on March 19.

ABOUT JELLY ROLL:
Award-winning, GRAMMY® nominated Nashville native singer/songwriter Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart with his acclaimed 2024 album, Beautifully Broken—which also earned the highest critical praise of his career so far from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Associated Press, NPR, and more. The release concluded his most successful year yet and followed his sold out Beautifully Broken Tour in arenas nationwide.

Just a year earlier, Jelly debuted Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and #2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut Country Album, Whitsitt Chapel (released June 2nd, 2023) - earning the biggest Country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, where he earned three awards to become the most awarded artist of the night, the Billboard Country Power List Cover star and “country’s ‘most authentic’ new artist” (The New Yorker) received Billboard’s 2023 Breakthrough Award and the People’s Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year. Nominated for Best New Artist and Best Duo/Group Performance for “Save Me (with Lainey Wilson)” at the 2024 GRAMMY Awards, along with eight genre-spanning nominations at the 2024 iHeartRadio Awards and a win for Best New Country and Pop artist wins, Jelly is one of three artists alongside Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to have scored three Country Airplay #1s in 2023 and the first to do it with his first three singles. “One of Nashville’s fastest rising stars” (The New York Times), he has earned seven consecutive #1s to date at Country radio - nine total, with “Liar” (country/rock radio), “I Am Not Okay,” “Chevrolet” - Dustin Lynch feat. Jelly Roll, “Halfway To Hell,” “Save Me,” “Need A Favor,” “Son of A Sinner” and “Dead Man Walking”(rock radio). A 4X winner at the 2023 People’s Choice Country Awards and the most nominated male at the 2023 CMA Awards, with five total nominations capturing his first CMA Award for New Artist of the Year, Jelly continues to break boundaries. His #1 hit single “Save Me” — a confessional, vulnerable expression of self-doubt— set the stage for his new season of life and took him to new heights including a Platinum certification from the RIAA on the heels of his 28-week reign at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. “Save Me” earned Jelly his first ACM win for Music Event of the year. 

Not just an artist but a humanitarian, Jelly continues to resonate with fans on a global scale, while racking up numerous milestones - from playing his sold-out hometown show for 18,000 fans at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to donating a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen, to the release of his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, “Save Me” - the most watched music documentary on the platform - to his visits with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the US. Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3, The New York Times, LA Times, The Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, CMT and more, his self-built, unconventional industry rise and unique fan connection has garnered praise from numerous outlets, with Variety noting, “for everyone who’s facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen,” and American Songwriter echoing, “with a string of accolades and an extremely dedicated following, Jelly Roll has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.”

Lowlives Announce Spinefarm Signing + Band Shares Video For "Liar"

After a series of independent single and EP releases, West Coast-based raucous rockers LOWLIVES have announced their signing to SPINEFARM MUSIC.

Drummer Luke Johnson says, "We started this band with almost zero expectations. We just wanted to write music. At that poin,t we weren't even sure if this band would play live. Since then, it's been a complete 180. A hard path of pulling favors, blagging shows, putting songs out with very little help, besides a select few who saw the vision. To be here today, with a release partner like Spinefarm. is such an achievement for us. We couldn't be more excited to work with a world-class team."

Accompanying the signing announcement is video for the new single "Liar."

Watch it  below

"I wrote 'Liar' right in the middle of the first COVID lockdown," states vocalist/guitarist Lee Downer. "Once the panic had kinda settled down, the song came together in about 10 minutes. Lyrically, it started out about putting on a brave face, pretending that I was OK throughout it when I probably wasn't… almost convincing myself that everything would be alright. When we worked on the demo, I'd written at Luke's studio, we wrote the rest of the lyrics, and it became more about being someone you're not [and] feeling like you don't fit in to the point of creating a fake world in an attempt to feel more comfortable. You really want to tell the truth, but you're bought in to the lies so much that they have become your own personal truth.

LOWLIVES released their debut EP Burn Forever before embarking on their first-ever tour. Scheduled to support The Used, the band found itself in Europe with no shows to play after the headliners were forced to cancel last minute. Immediately getting on the phone and calling in favors from contacts they'd built in their respective former bands, the determined four-piece managed to book themselves two week's’ worth of shows, including a packed out headline appearance at London's Black Heart, and managed to fit in a live recording session for Daniel P Carter's Radio One Rockshow at the BBC's Maida Vale studios.

LOWLIVES returned to Europe that summer for the rescheduled THE USED tour and festival appearances including Reading & Leeds.

Further DIY efforts to tap into their network saw the band hit the road on both sides of the Atlantic with the likes of New Years Day, The Dirty Nil, Plague Vendor, and Saosin, to name a few.

With new material in the pipeline and a powerhouse record label behind them to build on their solid foundations, the world is about to find out just how high LOWLIVES can go.

Envy Of None, the new band and debut self-titled album from Alex Lifeson (Rush) due for release on Kscope on April 8th!

Envy Of None, the new band and debut self-titled album from Alex Lifeson (Rush), Andy Curran (Coney Hatch), Alfio Annibalini and singer Maiah Wynne due for release on Kscope on April 8th

First single “Liar” out now –
Listen below.

PRE-ORDER HERE (https://eon.lnk.to/EnvyOfNone)

Alex Lifeson is no stranger to the concept of evolution. As a founding member of Rush, he’s been able to explore more musical ground than just about any other guitar player out there – taking rock to new progressive heights throughout the decades and always in the most wildly inventive of ways. His influence can be heard on countless bands around the world, from indie shoegaze and math rock to heavy metal and beyond. Over the last few years Lifeson has been focusing on a new project that, no matter how well-acquainted you are with his discography, will undoubtedly shatter all seeds of expectation and blow the mind. That project is Envy Of None.

The new band, also featuring Coney Hatch founder/bassist Andy Curran, accomplished producer and engineer Alfio Annibalini and singer-songwriter Maiah Wynne, will be releasing their self-titled debut album on April 8 via Kscope. Its 11 tracks – which ricochet between various shades of alternative, experimental and synth rock – throw surprises at every turn, twisting dark melodies against contemporary pop hooks. Lifeson himself is proudly aware of how little of it crosses over with the band that made him famous.

However, it was only when singer Maiah Wynne became involved that this truly started to feel like a band destined to go somewhere. Her haunting melodies and soul-baring intensity is – by the admission of her own bandmates – what truly brought this music to life. All things considered; she is a star in the making… “I sent over an early version of the song Shadow,” explains Andy Curran. “When I played what she’d done back to the others they were like, ‘Who is this crazy talented person?!’”

The album’s first single, Liar, is out now. Its industrial beats, driving fuzz bass and atmospheric guitars concoct a seductive swirl indeed – thrilling in ways closer to the darker art rock of Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails and A Perfect Circle than anything these musicians have been known for prior.

“Maiah became my muse,” continues Alex Lifeson. “She was able to bring this whole new ethereal thing through her sense of melody on tracks like Liar and Look Inside. After hearing her vocals on Never Said I Love You, I felt so excited. I’ve never had that kind of inspiration working with another musician. When we say she’s special, it’s because she’s really fucking special!”

“One of my favourite things about these songs is the intimacy of them,” reveals Maiah Wynne. “It makes them feel different and more honest. There are some heavier songs too, like Enemy, and then tracks like Kabul Blues, that sound completely different to anything else.”

The album closer, Western Sunset, which was penned by Alex Lifeson in tribute to his dear friend Neil Peart. It’s a highly emotive piece of music to honour a man deeply missed by the rock community at large, and even more so by those who were lucky enough to know him. “I visited Neil when he was ill,” says Alex Lifeson. “I was on his balcony watching the sunset and found inspiration. There’s a finality about a sunset that kinda stayed with me throughout the whole process. It had meaning. It was the perfect mood to decompress after all these different textures… a nice way to close the book.”

It’s a book you’ll almost certainly want to be reading. Envy Of None’s self-titled album is due for release on April 8 via Kscope.

The album will be released on the following formats and is available to PRE-ORDER HERE(https://eon.lnk.to/EnvyOfNone)

PROSPECTIVE Share New Single + Music Video "LIAR" New Studio Album 'All We Have' is Available Now!

Italian progressive metalcore quintet PROSPECTIVE share their new single "Liar" along with a music video. The digital 2-track single also features an instrumental version of "Liar" and is available now as stream and download.

Music video for Prospective - "Liar" taken from the album "All We Have", get it here: https://Prospective.lnk.to/AllWeHave➤ Official merchandise: https://bit...

Drummer Flavio Cacciari about "Liar":

Liar is one of those songs that made us say "holy sh*t this is good". I remember composing it at 4am in the morning with my body requesting some sleep but it was such a moment of inspiration that I couldn't stop.” He adds “It all started with that synth thing at the beginning of the track, all the rest came naturally.” Lyric wise frontman and vocalist Pietro Serratore says “the song is about a person that is not good for you, completely toxic. We're all about that concept of letting go people that are not suited for your life, just let them go.”

Listen to "Liar" here:

https://prospective.lnk.to/liar

"Liar" is taken from Prospective's latest album 'All We Have' which you can check out here: https://Prospective.lnk.to/AllWeHave

Every new release requires dedication and countless hours of writing, and that's what Prospective, progressive Metalcore Band from Bologna (Italy) embodies. The band's latest full-length album "All We Have" (Long Branch Records) is manic and emotionally stunning. The Italian quintet - Pietro Serratore [Vocals], Luca Zini [Lead Guitar, Vocals], Davide Ruggeri [Guitar], Giuseppe Colli [Bass] and Flavio Cacciari [Drummer] - reaches deep into their personalities to convey all feelings.

With a writing process on the edge of chaos and chance, with months of hectic work and countless nights shaping their new sound to find the perfect combination of guitar sounds. The songs are straightforward, hard and without regret, with rough guitar sounds, violent riffs, gnarly breakdowns, catchy choirs and unexpected melodies. All this has become possible thanks to the excellent work of mixer Buster Odeholm and mastering engineer Ermin Hamidovic.

The loss of someone, anger at the people around you, the constant issue of pollution and war, are some of the main issues that listeners will encounter while listening to the record. A complicated mixture of anger and love, with lyrics that talk about the feeling of being betrayed and the death of someone you love. The ongoing theme of war, either in yourself or on the battlefield, is something the band has explored in a meaningful way.

PROSPECTIVE Lineup:

Pietro Serratore - Vocals

Luca Zini - Guitar & Vocals

Davide Ruggeri - Guitar

Giuseppe Colli - Bass

Flavio Cacciari - Drums
