Pistols At Dawn Drop "Bones" Video

Buzzy Atlanta foursome PISTOLS AT DAWN — Adam Jaffe [drums], Will James [lead guitar], Gabriel Cuevas [bass], and Jon Sookdew Sing [lead vocals] — have shared the video for their latest single "Bones," which has already gotten a great reaction from over 20 active rock stations.  

Watch the video below:

"Have you ever met that person that you can't get enough of? The one that checks all your boxes. Here's the thing, though. She's just as messed up as you in every single way," the band explains about the song. '''Bones' is the story of two lovers taking on the world, accepting all the skeletons each brings to the relationship, and rolling with the punches. Because when the world cast them out, they found each other."

About the accompanying video, the band says, "It depicts the good times and the bad. And as it so often is in relationships with baggage, the good times are really good, and the bad times are really bad. Yet through the difficult times, it shows that in the end, you'll still choose to stay for something that's worth it."

Pistols At Dawn will play a showcase at the famed Viper Room in Los Angeles on February 25, with Josh Bernstein and Caity Babs hosting. Get tickets here. Additional details are in the image below. The band will also be performing at the annual #Happens radio convention, which takes place in Las Vegas on February 26 through February 28. All details are here and in the graphic, with the band taking the stage on February 27 at Backstage Bar + Billiards.

Pistols At Dawn craft the kind of rock music that doesn't just reach the rafters; it breaks through the ceiling. Sky-high hooks stretch into the heavens, a powerful low-end rumbles without apology, and riffs roar at all the right moments. Thus far, the Atlanta band have emerged as a phenomenon. They've amassed nearly 10 million global streams and views, infiltrated the Billboard and Mediabase Top 40 Active Rock charts, earned acclaim from American Songwriter, Brave Words, and the Atlanta Journal Constitution, and embarked upon global tours alongside heavy-hitters such as Alter Bridge, Mammoth WVH, Fozzy, Des Rocs, and more. The quartet has canvassed the world the past few years and shows no signs of slowing down.

Stayed tuned for more, because Pistols at Dawn are leveling up.

"'Last Christmas' is definitely the one that stood out to us amongst the Christmas staples, and we wanted to make our own version of this beloved classic," shares the band. "But we didn't just want to make a cut and paste cover. We wanted to make a true Pistols at Dawn version, and between Jon's intimate vocal performance and Will's signature guitar playing, we were able to create a song that would make George Michael proud... With its beautiful string arrangement, this will be a welcome addition to all gatherings around the fireplace surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones for generations to come."

It follows the new single "Obsession." Watch the lyric video here. It also follows the band's hit track "Not Sorry," which is working its way up the Active Rock radio airplay charts since it's a banger.

Pistols at Dawn Drop Video for New Single "Not Sorry"

Atlanta foursome PISTOLS AT DAWN — Adam Jaffe [drums], Will James [lead guitar], Gabriel Cuevas [bass], and Jon Sookdew Sing [lead vocals]— are entering their unapologetic era with their new single "Not Sorry."

Be forewarned, though! It's a banger with a hard rock and industrial-tinged edge, and dreamy vocals. It's an unexpected mix and it slays.

Watch the video below.

"Obsessed much?," the band states about the song's subject matter, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. "We all have crazy, toxic people in our past that try to manipulate and intimidate us. And the only way to deal with them is to unapologetically tell them that they are most definitely the problem." #TRUTH

As for the video, the band continues, "It encapsulates every relationship or moment in your life that have been abusive and corrosive to the soul. Dark themes are counterbalanced by the driving energy to overcome adversity. Poisonous elements and dark spaces represent the internal struggle and the focused intensity to become your own champion. It's an in-your-face lack of apology for moving forward and making your life your own."

WATCH Pistols At Dawn - "Last Christmas" VIDEO below

Atlanta-based hard rock sensation PISTOLS AT DAWN is ushering in the festive season with a twist on the beloved holiday anthem, "Last Christmas." Available now on all major streaming platforms, this latest single from the band promises to ignite holiday spirits with its rock-infused rendition of WHAM!/George Michael's timeless classic.

With a fervent dedication to crafting an enduring holiday track, PISTOLS AT DAWN embarked on a mission to create a rendition that resonates across generations. Adding their unique rock stamp to the iconic melody, the band infused raw emotion and intensity, channeling George Michael's original sentiment while introducing a new dimension to the song's sonic landscape.

In a departure from their signature sound, the band embraced the inclusion of violin and cello, marking the first time they've incorporated these orchestral elements into their music. This addition elevates the emotive qualities of "Last Christmas," ensuring that listeners experience a stirring and immersive rendition of this cherished song.

Commenting on their rendition, PISTOLS AT DAWN expressed, "We wanted to create a truly special holiday track that would stand the test of time. George Michael wrote one of the best holiday songs of all time, and we wanted to add our stamp to it. We knew if we felt the emotion of the song, like he did, that everyone else would too. At the end of the day, we just hope this makes everyone's holiday a little more special."

Moreover, PISTOLS AT DAWN has exciting plans for the upcoming year, including a series of dates alongside Fozzy across international stages, as well as headlining performances. The band's relentless energy and captivating stage presence are poised to captivate audiences worldwide.

"Last Christmas" by PISTOLS AT DAWN is now available on all major streaming platforms. Embrace the spirit of the season with their electrifying take on this holiday classic.

When rules break, rock ‘n’ roll moves forward. Standing at a crossroads between 21st century attitude and old school arena-size ambition, Pistols At Dawn lock and load hard-hitting hooks, magnetic melodies, and intricate instrumentation in a searing signature style. The Atlanta quartet—Adam Jaffe [drums], Will James [lead guitar], Gabriel Cuevas [bass], and Jon Sookdew Sing [lead vocals+rhythm guitar]—re-energize the genre, while maintaining its edge. After independently amassing over 6 million streams and collaborating with icons such as GRAMMY® Award-winning producer and engineer Sylvia Massy [Tool, System of a Down, Johnny Cash], the group deliver eight anthems on their 2022 full-length album, Ascension, via distributor Megaforce Records/MRI Entertainment. “All of our influences come out in the music, but with our own stamp,” says Adam. “There’s definitely a hard rock vibe combined with progressive lyrics. When you add these elements together, it beautifully combusts in Pistols At Dawn.”

Speaking to this alchemy, in 2015 the band immediately entered the studio with producer Jeff Tomei [Smashing Pumpkins, Matchbox 20] to record their first singles before entertaining various other projects. During 2019, the original lineup joined forces again. Ultimately, original founder Jaffe completed the lineup with incendiary world class guitarist James, and elite progressive rock duo Sookdew Sing and Cuevas.

They unleashed music at a prolific pace in addition to personally engaging fans worldwide with an immersive online presence. “Cold” exploded to the tune of 1 million streams across platforms followed by "Gauntlet" and "All You Offer" with another million streams. Working with producer Jeff Tomei, they unleashed the Nocturnal Youth EP in 2021. The opener and lead single “Voices” impressively generated 1 million plays in under a month. In the midst of the Global Pandemic, they caught the attention of Massy and recorded what would become Ascension with the legendary producer behind the board alongside co-producer Chris Pierson.

Musically and thematically, it allowed a sliver of light to pass through the world’s darkness. “On Nocturnal Youth, we were going through a dark time in the Global Pandemic,” Jaffe states. “On Ascension, we’re coming into the light and embracing life. There’s still dark subject matter on the record, but it was positive to write. It melded together the way we’d always hoped.”

Anchored by a balance of extremes, the lead single “The Truth” nods to nineties alternative with a distinct and dynamic twist. Adam goes on, “It revolves around the constant noise we have in our head pushing and pulling our emotions so much that we sometimes lose total control and explode. We have to be careful to maintain our thoughts and emotions, or ‘The Truth’ is that they could tear us apart.”

Elsewhere, the opener and follow-up single “Under The Surface” immediately sets the tone with a hypnotic riff and hard-hitting vocal, barely containing its cathartic momentum in the searing lyrics, “Take what you want and leave me for dead. All that I need is under the surface.”

“This song deals with the hell some have to go through above ground with people constantly taking, lying, and poisoning,” he reveals. “So, you want to be buried deep to get away from society where no one will find you.”

“Fly” leans into a dark chorus and instantly memorable hook, equally soaring and shuddering all at once. It strikes a chord with its timeless theme presented through a nocturnal prism. “It’s a powerful and dark love song about wanting to disappear with your true love,” he elaborates. “Musically, diversity was important to us. So, each song really tells a different story with a distinct sound.”

Indicative of this diversity, “For You” steamrolls forward on a hulking groove fortified by a punchy riff and towering refrain. It sets the tone for the rollercoaster to follow. “It’s about finding someone really special who is worth changing for,” notes Adam. “If you find someone you love enough, you’ll change. It’s the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Ultimately, Pistols At Dawn ignite a fresh and fiery vision for rock all their own.
“We want to take you on a ride,” Jaffe leaves off. “We just love playing music. One moment, we hope you’re inspired to take on the world. In the next, we hope you scream along. In another, you just chill. It’s meant to be fun and exciting overall. At the end, we hope you want to take the ride again and again.”
