EKOH Announces New Album "Pressure" + Shares "Throne" Feat. Skydxddy

From the purveyor of some of the best, most impassioned hip-hop and metal collaborations out there, EKOH is aiming to give his fans what they’re looking for this October: a full album. Due on October 29, EKOH will be releasing Pressure, an LP that will encapsulate the very things that have catapulted this young MC to the top of the Octane charts with every single. Pre-order it here.

Packed into each of the 15 tracks are elements of his coined genre, "heart hop," high-energy songs that highlight what makes the melding of rap and anthemic vocals so very special. 

For fans of lyricism that cuts through the monotony with truthful, honest depictions of the world, Pressure will be a treasure trove of frenzied songs, including "THRONE," which is EKOH’s latest collab with internet-favorite, Skydxddy. Listen below.

On "Throne," EKOH offers, "This is our rap and rock crossover about overcoming your personal demons and all of the people who doubted you to end up back on your throne." 

A dedication to triumph over defeat and paying homage to your own perseverance, Pressure, EKOH describes, "was the weight I carried through every moment of making this album. It wasn't just creative pressure — it was the pressure to hold everything together in my life, to meet expectations, to stay strong in my sobriety. That feeling consumed everything — my stress, my fear, even my joy. Every song is a release, a way to finally breathe again under all that weight. I don't know if pressure always creates diamonds, but it gave me the most raw, vulnerable, and boundary-pushing music I've ever made."

An MC with a business man's acumen, EKOH's crowd-pleasing hit "Freeverse 3" spawned a sponsorship and perhaps one of the biggest collabs of his career, a fully EKOH customized Vans shoe — check out EKOH's skate shoe here

Not a stranger to bringing crowds a set they didn't expect, Pressure is fueled by robust musicians including Buddy Nielsen from Senses Fail and the power-hitting, world renowned rapper, Tech N9ne.

Catch the show that has kicks flying through the air as EKOH travels across the U.S., including a few festival stops and venues across the states. Never one to disappoint, keep your eyes on this Vegas native who has his pulse on the genres that move bodies and bang heads — more coming your way soon!

SONG FEATURES CHARLIE STARR OF BLACKBERRY SMOKE

NEW ALBUM PRESSURE ARRIVES OCTOBER 16 RELEASE VIA SNAKEFARM RECORDS 

Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown have just dropped the lyric video for the new song "Holdin' My Breath."

"'Holdin' My Breath' was written long before the pandemic," Tyler Bryant says. "It was written before any of the madness. When we started compiling songs for the new album, this song stood out. The lyrics hit us harder than they did when the song was originally written. While it felt pertinent to the times, it gave us a sense of hope. Adding our friend Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke only elevated this feeling. We hope it can evoke the same for the listener as we all hold tight for better days."

The Nashville-based band dealt with a world tipped into turmoil during the global pandemic by creating new music amid lockdown conditions. The end result is their fourth album Pressure, out on October 16 via Snakefarm Records worldwide. Pressure is career-best work forged during turbulent times. 

Pressure is available to pre-order here. Pre-save the album to your digital streaming platform of choice here.

TYLER BRYANT & THE SHAKEDOWN TO RELEASE PRESSURE ON OCTOBER 16 RELEASE VIA SNAKEFARM RECORDS WORLDWIDE

Pre-order our new album 'PRESSURE' now! Released 16th October: https://TBSD.lnk.to/Pressure Music video by Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown performing Crazy Days...

THE ALBUM'S 13 FRESH TRACKS WERE RECORDED IN LOCKDOWN MODE

BAND SHARES VIDEO FOR LEAD SINGLE "CRAZY DAYS" 

For Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, the best way to engage with a world tipped into turmoil was to create new music. It's easier said than done in socially distanced times. But for these Nashville-based musicians, the challenge was there to be grasped.

The group will release its new full length Pressure on October 16 via Snakefarm Records worldwide. 

Pressure is available to pre-order here. Pre-save the album to your digital streaming platform of choice here.

The song is the first track to emerge. It was written and recorded at the start of lockdown. It's an instinctive howl at the moon — upbeat, hopeful, talking of the times. 

"I was imagining nights out with my friends, packed concerts, and so many other things that felt beyond reach," reflects vocalist/guitarist Tyler Bryant. "Music has always allowed us to travel to a different place, and this song made us feel good right away. I truly hope it makes others feel the same."

"Crazy Days" needed to be shared, and it wasn't long before the quarantine clip (featuring Bryant and his wife Rebecca Lovell, one-half of roots rock duo Larkin Poe) was causing an online stir. 

But why stop there? 

With a house full of gear, plus the support of producer Roger Alan Nichols, a longstanding friend, maybe an EP could be crafted. Four new tracks, possibly even six? 

But why stop there? 

Like every act, The Shakedown's live schedule was now sitting on the shelf. So here was a chance to focus on the 30-to-40 new songs they had in their locker and turn the EP into something greater.

The result is Pressure, which is their fourth studio album. It features 13 new numbers, including a re-recorded version of "Crazy Days," plus guest appearances from Lovell on three tracks, along with Blackberry Smoke's Charlie Starr on "Holdin' My Breath."

Pressure is a record with a clear theme and a never-say-die spirit.

The band says, "We were backed into a corner with the world shutting down and knew our only response was to turn up loud in a basement and make something. Everyone feels pressure in their life at certain points, it's often difficult to know how to cope, and this was our way of dealing with things. There were countless limitations to making this album in lockdown. But these limitations ultimately fueled us creatively. We had no rules, and the road blocks we encountered forced us to find other ways to the destination we were hell bent on reaching."

TBSD finishes, "Our goal with this album was to empower ourselves to push back against the pressures we were feeling until something beautiful happened. We hope it inspires others to do the same. Now is the time for us to send the needle into the red."

With bassist Noah Denney having recently left the ranks on friendly terms, it was down to Bryant, drummer Caleb Crosby, and guitarist Graham Whitford to cast obstacles aside, reach for the bass when required (since Bryant handles most of these parts) and focus in on their collective mission, with new compositions ("Hitchhiker," "Coastin'") coming to life in the process. 

This wasn’t a quest for technical perfection, this was all about bottling the moment, tapping into emotion, and allowing the full range of the material to shine through, from full-tilt rockers to rootsier, more atmospheric moments.

It's career-best work forged in turbulent times.
