PARMALEE UNVEILS UPLIFTING NEW SONG “FEELS LIKE HOME” AHEAD OF FELL IN LOVE WITH A COWGIRL ALBUM OUT APRIL 4

As their current single “Cowgirl” climbs the country radio charts, multi-PLATINUM country sensation Parmalee, known for five #1 singles and a genre-bending sound, is set to captivate fans once again with the release of their newest uptempo track “Feels Like Home.” The heartwarming song, which blends power-ballad lyrics into an irresistible country-pop swagger, is a testament to the transformative feeling of finding that special someone who makes you feel truly at home.

“We’ve always believed that music can transport someone to a place where they feel like they belong, where they feel right at home,” said the band. “We also believe that the right person can do that too. That’s what this song is about. That one who makes you feel right at home when you’re with them.  We wanted to make sure to keep the energy going with this one and make sure everyone could sing along with us, just like all the songs that have connected us with our fans!” 

Written by Matt Thomas, David Fanning, Ashley Gorley, Beau Bailey, and Ned Cameron, “Feels Like Home” paints a picture of love as a safe haven — a place that, much like one’s hometown, resonates with comfort and familiarity.

“Feels Like Home” is the second track released from their forthcoming new album Fell In Love With A Cowgirl, available April 4. Fans can pre-order/pre-save/pre-add the album here. The seven-track collection launches the first part of a two-album series that magnifies Parmalee’s distinctive mix of storytelling and swagger. Their music offers a fresh take on love and adventure, celebrating both life’s grand milestones and everyday moments.

Their new single, “Cowgirl,” was released last month with MusicRow Magazine saying of the song, “Bopping and merry. The galloping electronic tempo, compressed production, and rapid-fire vocals describe tumbling head over heels in love. Catchy as can be.”

Parmalee’s evolution from chart-topping hits to innovative new sounds continues to solidify their place at the forefront of the country genre. With “Feels Like Home,” the band invites listeners on a musical journey that’s equal parts nostalgic and refreshing—an anthem for anyone who’s ever found solace in love.

Fancy Hagood to Release Inspirational New Song "Through" on June 28

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Fancy Hagood will unveil his new song “Through,” a heartfelt anthem of healing and growth, on Friday, June 28. “Through” is the debut song from his forthcoming sophomore album due this fall and captures the emotional journey of overcoming heartbreak and finding gratitude. It is also the centerpiece for the enduring theme of resilience that marks Hagood’s journey. Produced by Jarrad K, pre-save/pre-add the song here.
 
Written by Hagood and Caitlyn Smith, "Through" is an anthem for anyone who has faced the pain of a broken heart and found their way to the other side. The song’s poignant lyrics and soulful melody encapsulate the essence of embracing emotions and finding strength in vulnerability. 
 
“The last two years I have been working on my sophomore album,” said Hagood. “It started out with a song that we never finished, about living in a small house with my partner. As life happened, I found myself in the midst of a crippling breakup. I had never experienced anxiety and stress the way I did in the aftermath."
 
But Hagood left himself open to all the emotions of a major life change and found the music took an unexpected turn. “Immediately, I thought I would start writing sad songs about the heartbreak I was experiencing. I found myself in writing rooms with close friends and artists that I love, like Caitlyn Smith. When talking about the pain, the sadness, the newness, the freedom……that’s when gratitude entered the chat! It was clear that the breakup anthem I thought I would be writing was actually a tale of thankfulness, growth, and resilience!”
 
The emotional freedom set the tone not only for the song but for the new album and the healing process. “We wrote ‘Through' in about an hour, and it was obvious to me that this song was not only important to my own personal journey, but also to the album I was creating. I felt so desperate in the darkest moments of that season of my life. I wanted to write a song to remind myself and others that there is no escaping our emotions. You have to feel them. You have to make room. There is no way out….the only way is through!”
 
Hagood has a summer slate full of touring with artists, including Maggie Rose, Joy Oladokun, Orville Peck, and others, and this fall will return to Europe for his first headlining tour, the Fly Away Tour.

Virginity Release Nostalgia-Inducing Alt-Rock Single "Any Good Thing" via Smartpunk Records

Smartpunk Records' fan-favorite, indie power-punk rockers Virginity, are tapping into the simplicity of white picket fences, coming-of-age stories, and old-school alternative rock on their latest single "Any Good Thing," taken from their upcoming album Bad Jazz.  The single showcases the band's signature storytelling lyricism, which put them on the map. After achieving great success with their previous album POPMORTEM and receiving acclaim from Audiotree, Brooklyn Vegan, The Alternative, and more, the band is prepared to showcase its long-awaited follow-up album on June 28.

Speaking about the new single "Any Good Thing," Virginity vocalist Casey Crawford says, "I love coming-of-age stories and movies, and this song is my little contribution to that. I wanted to write something that would be at home in a movie like Can't Hardly Wait or Empire Records. This is also my first time foraying into storytelling via song. It's really just one scene of a kid catching his older sister sneaking out of her window and wishing he'd gone with. This song is a blast to play live. It's super simple and fun to sing."

Ahead of the album release, the band is sharing their new single "Any Good Thing" — listen here.

ABOUT VIRGINITY
Bubbling up from the swamps of Central Florida, Virginity are an indie/power punk band that really just kinda wants to be Superdrag.

Formed in 2018, the band is an attempt to grapple with the existential dread of entering one's 30s (and 40s) with plenty of baggage. Led by the duo of singer/guitarist Casey Crawford and drummer/producer Jim Dreffen, Virginity quickly found infectious melodies and confident songwriting in steady supply. Joined by bassist Jordan Shroyer and guitarist Chris Pfister, Virginity's sound embodies the dark humor of the modern world.

Their debut LP, 2019's With Time, crafted more as a therapy session than a record, caught the attention of FEST legends, Dikembe, who eagerly championed the album under their Death Protector label. Wasting no time, the cathartic Death to the Party EP followed in 2020 (Wiretap Records), which spawned the fan favorite "Bad Call." A third release in as many years, POPMORTEM, (2021 Smartpunk Records) further cemented their reputation for catchy tunes with poignant lyrics and forever looking to subvert expectations.

2024 brings more Virginity to the masses: a new full length record this summer (Smartpunk Records); a second trip to SXSW, the band's first international dates at Pouzza Fest in Montreal, and a slew of dates around the U.S. 

ABOUT SMARTPUNK RECORDS:
Smartpunk has been a recognizable name in the scene for a long time (Remember that sponsored Warped Tour stage?!). After exchanging several hands and countless ideas of what it could and should be, they decided to start a record label in 2016 with the main idea of focusing solely on reissuing records that have been out of print or never on vinyl. After all, they're a label of vinyl dorks themselves! After releasing Set Your Goals' Mutiny and Gameface's Good, they started to venture into signing newer bands. They actively balance in between many worlds — putting out amazing music from friends and bands that rock, reissuing older titles, and partnering with other incredible labels in our scene and doing exclusive color variants of their releases.

"Since forming the record label, Smartpunk Records has released timeless albums such as Less Than Jake's Anthem, Nominee's Lowlife, RIVALS' Sad Looks Pretty on Me, Virginity's POPMORTEM, and melodic skate punkers The Swellers' My Everest.
