TLG/Virgin Music Group recording artists Rick Monroe & The Hitmen continue to gather momentum for their latest single "Worth The Hurt" (currently bubbling under at #52 on last week's SMR chart while maintaining its top-10 standing among the Most Adds of active/mainstream rock in secondary markets). To support its upward climb, the group is pleased to premiere the official music video TODAY exclusively through Rock Rage Radio.
Additionally, "Worth The Hurt" has been made available in Dolby Atmos, a new spacial audio technology that allows you to "hear music like you've never heard it before" and deliver the ULTIMATE listening experience for fans and audiophiles to enjoy.
"Even though it adds several steps to the mixing and mastering process, getting the track on Atmos was important to us," says Monroe."We wanted fans to know... just like the single says, that they are 'Worth The Hurt.' We aren't doing our work as a band if we aren't striving to provide the best quality music we can to our fans. That's our job," he says."Now, it's the fan's job to go out and give it a listen!"
Co-written by Monroe, Jared Weeks and Scott Wilson of Saving Abel, and multi-Grammy and multi-Dove award-winning producer and composer, Skidd Mills (Skillet, Third Day, Saliva, Katie Arminger), who also produced the track, "Worth The Hurt" is an angsty, uptempo banger that highlights the addictive qualities and unhealthy co-dependence of a love gone wrong.
"You guys are so talented, it's stupid."
▪Shawn Drover - Drummer (Megadeth)
"Great crossover song!"
▪Don Jamieson - Comedian ("That Metal Show")
"This was such a fun song to write, and I love that groove it delivers all the way through. It's a crossover for you for sure. I'm proud of it!"
- Jared Weeks (Saving Abel)

Oermann (Music Row) and respected musicians, including Shawn Drover (formerly of Megadeth).
About Rick Monroe & The Hitmen:
World-class entertainers Rick Monroe & The Hitmen have no desire to trace the trail of every trend. Instead, they serve up a “poly-jam-orous” recipe they call “Blue Jean Rock” --artistically organic and spiced with a heavy blend of their musical influences to reflect country sensibilities with a rock and roll beat. As a result, the group has built a solid legion of fans across the globe and recently surpassed over 4.3 MILLION logged views on YouTube and over one MILLION captured streams without the benefit of ever appearing on a core editorial playlist.
Monroe brings his music and a magnetic presence wherever he goes and is no stranger to the stage: he’s performed in 17 countries – and every U.S. state including Washington DC & Puerto Rico. The seven-time Jägermeister Country Brand Ambassador has toured with Queensrӱche, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Lee Bice, Aaron Lewis, Eli Young Band, Pat Green, and Randy Houser, as well as has opened for Country Music Legends like Charlie Daniels Band, Dwight Yoakam, Travis Tritt, Patty Loveless and more. He has entertained the USO, AFE, U.S. troops in Vietnam, and former Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev. His brother called him “Elvis Gump” because of all the amazing people and places his career has led him.
For those unfamiliar with his music, Rick advises them to come to the show for a good time and to be ready for “just about anything.” “I love to play,” the singer notes. “And I want everyone to play along. I like to think of my shows as an interactive sport"--one that he will now play with the help of his permanent bandmates, Bobby Perkins (guitar), Alan Beeler (bass), and Jason Bohl (drums), also known as The Hitmen because "they kill it every single night!"
Rick enjoys sponsorships and endorsements with NOS/Full Throttle energy drink, Number Juan Tequila, Tony Chachare’s® Famous Creole Cuisine, Remington, GHS Strings, SE electronics, Roper Western Wear, Shubb Capos, Speakeasy Original, Westone Audio & Fishman Audio.
