P.OD. Share Surprising Cover of a Classic — LISTEN // Touring With Seether + Daughtry This Fall

Platinum selling superstars P.O.D. — Sonny Sandoval [vocals], Marcos Curiel[guitar], and Traa Daniels [bass] — are back and with a twist. They are sharing a surprising but incredible cover of a classic.

They have shared their rendition of The Beatles' iconic track "Don't Let Me Down." Watch and listen below.

"As cliché as it may sound, we've always admired The Beatles from the very beginning of our songwriting journey," says Curiel. "Their melodies, the hooks, and fearless experimentation inspired us to craft our own take on the classic 'Don't Let Me Down,' with nothing but the utmost respect. Thank you for helping lay the foundation of what we all know today as rock 'n' roll, pop, and metal."

P.O.D. will hit the road this fall, supporting Seether + Daughtry. All dates are below. Get tickets here

Curiel is eager to get back on the road, saying, "Touring is a gift, a blessing to share P.O.D.'s music live with the world. Absolutely nothing compares to the energy of a crowd feeling and vibing every note. We're ecstatic to join an amazing lineup that embodies the true essence of rock 'n' roll fusing the familiar with the new — a real evolution. We are proud to be part of it. Let's jam, let's sing, let's rock.."

CHRONICLER OF ARDUL Releases New Single “Watch Over Me”

CHRONICLER OF ARDUL, the dark fantasy symphonic death metal project composed and produced by David Williams, presents a new single titled “Watch Over Me.” This song departs from the heavier sonic palette of earlier releases, shifting toward a stripped-down, folk-rooted sound shaped by the world it inhabits.

The track is written from the perspective of travelers in Ardul, where moving between places carries real risk. It speaks from within that moment of vulnerability, not as a theatrical gesture, but as part of everyday life in a world shaped by danger and isolation. The song is not bleak. It reaches upward, asking unseen forces for protection, and gives voice to those hoping to make it home.

“‘Watch Over Me’ is tavern folk song about what it's like being on the road, especially those not prepared for the dangers that lurk in the shadows all around. But it's not a dark song, it's a hopeful song that begs the gods to make sure they are safe and can make it back home.

In Ardul traveling the roads is not taken lightly, but can be a necessary task to overcome. And along side the stories of Myrewood and Sword of Virné, ‘Watch Over Me’ helps tell what life is like in this harsh world.

It was an amazing collaboration to work with Sofia Frasz, most known for her work in Exiled Hope. We had talked before and wanted to combine our bardic powers, and it was a pleasure to finally start working with her.”David Williams

The recording features Sofia Frasz, vocalist and composer behind EXILED HOPE. Her performance carries the song’s core emotion with clarity and restraint, and adds a distinct perspective to the growing body of work set in Ardul.

“Watch Over Me” expands the narrative established through Myrewood and Sword of Virné, offering a look at the people who move between those stories. It adds depth to the worldbuilding while remaining musically intimate.

About CHRONICLER OF ARDUL:
CHRONICLER OF ARDUL was started as a passion project by David Williams when he wanted to combine his love of metal music and dark fantasy to tell a story that spanned over songs and albums. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, he puts his skills to the test to create the music for a story he had been working on for 9 years. The debut EP called Myrewood released late 2023, with its written short story partner, Myrewood Part 1, published in May 2024. The following EP, Sword Of Virné arrived in the summer of 2024. Musically, CHRONICLER OF ARDUL draws from the likes of SHADOW OF INTENT and MENTAL CRUELTY in the metal world, while also taking inspiration from Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu.

COLIN STOUGH THROWS DOWN "20 BUCKS" WITH EDGY NEW RELEASE AVAILABLE NOW

19 Recordings/BMG Nashville artist Colin Stough turns up the volume on his Southern rock-country edge with the release of “20 Bucks,” out now. Listen Below. Bold and uncompromising, the Mississippi native—who rose to national recognition as a Top 5 finalist on ABC’s American Idol in 2023 and has amassed over 80 million streams—delivers a powerful performance marked by gritty vocals and a rebellious swagger.

"’20 Bucks’ is that moment when you’re down on your luck, she’s gone with another man, money’s tight—but you’re still out here trying to have a good time,” shares Stough.

Raw, unflinching, and soaked in Southern grit, “20 Bucks” finds Colin Stough channeling heartbreak into an edgy anthem. Penned by Stough, along with Kevin Monahan and Will Pattat, and produced by James LeBlanc and Phillip White, the biting honesty of the track captures the sting of betrayal, the temptation of vices, and the struggle of scraping by with little more than twenty dollars to ease the pain. Fueled by distorted guitars, swagger, and Stough’s unapologetically rough-edged vocals, “20 Bucks” turns heartache into a battle cry for anyone who’s ever been cheated on, left behind, or pushed to their breaking point.

About Colin Stough

Born and raised on the Mississippi-Alabama line, 21-year-old Colin Stough was brought up on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty, and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age 8, later trading in his prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic — one he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride: a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville, and breakout songs like “Sober,” “'Til The Day One Does,” and 2025’s hard-edged anthem, “White Trash.”

With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of over 800k across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home offer a no-frills portrait of a young man navigating life with Southern grit, and his latest song, “20 Bucks,” keeps with the no-holds-barred theme. On the road, he’s opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White, and Kidd G, and is continuing to build his live show through 2025. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn’t chasing trends — he’s telling the underdog’s truth, one song at a time.

Deadly Apples Release “Sacrifice” Featuring Members of Nine Inch Nails and Filter ​  

Montreal-based rock/metal powerhouse Deadly Apples is back with a new epic and dark single, "Sacrifice," available now on all major streaming platforms.

 

“Sacrifice” features collaborations with Richard Patrick (Filter / Nine Inch Nails) on vocals and Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails / Till Lindemann) on guitars and bass. The single was produced by Antoine Lamothe, with mixing handled by Ben Grosse (Depeche Mode), mastering by Tom Baker (Marilyn Manson), and pre-production by legendary producer Michael Beinhorn (Korn). The drums for the track were recorded on Lars Ulrich’s iconic Black Album kit, adding a historic edge to its crushing sound.

 

The band’s previous single, “Volatile,” made a major impact upon release—surpassing 100k Spotify streams in its first week and 100k YouTube views in just over a week. The track was featured on major editorial playlists including Spotify’s All New Metal, new nü, and Industrial Metal; Apple Music’s Breaking Hard Rock; and Deezer’s Industrial. The “Volatile” music video premiered at Montreal Fetish Weekend and went on to be selected for the Silver Screenings at the Berlin Music Video Awards (June 2025). The release also generated extensive coverage across top rock and metal outlets along with numerous interviews.

 

Deadly Apples continued their rise with major live shows in 2025, including Welcome to Rockville (Florida) and the Vivo x el Rock Festival (Peru), where they performed on the main stage alongside Avenged Sevenfold and Marilyn Manson.

 

Deadly Apples have built a loyal following thanks to their unique sound and relentless touring schedule, which has seen them share the stage with rock and metal heavyweights around the globe such as Korn, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, and Rammstein.

 

Fans can stream or download "Sacrifice" on all major platforms.

About Deadly Apples:

Montreal rock / metal band Deadly Apples – frontman / lyricist Alex Martel and drummer / composer Antoine Lamothe – has forged a reputation for its fierce, unpredictable, and high energy live performances often culminating with Martel diving – and drowning – into the crowd.  As rock music – and society – has become increasingly safe and bland, the French-Canadian band has received praise for bringing back the danger and unpredictability to unsuspecting audiences.

 

Accompanied on stage by a touring guitarist and keyboardist / dancer, the Great White North act has showcased its intensity in arenas and stadiums around the globe – United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, Japan – on high-profile tours with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Deftones and Rammstein, as well as Main Stage slots on festivals such as Hellfest Open Air, Knotfest, Vans Warped Tour, Hell & Heaven Fest and Resurrection Fest.

 

On their new full-length album DISTRESS, Deadly Apples push the limits of their catchy sound to every extreme: darker, deeper, and heavier, yet their most accessible work yet.  Interlaced with cinematic atmospheres, poignant melodies, singular screams, gritty analog synths, pummeling drum beats, abrasive guitars, delicate pianos and heartfelt lyrics, DISTRESS is a unique, relevant and modern take on a classic genre that they made their own.

 

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails), with NIN alumni Danny Lohner performing the guitars / bass and Richard Patrick of Filter providing guest vocals.  Early pre-production work was also completed with Michael Beinhorn (Korn).

 

Deadly Apples is back and will fucking destroy anyone standing in its path.
THE DISTRESS IS COMING…………………………………………..

PROFANE ELEGY Unleashes New Single “As My Heart Turns to Ash” with Visualizer

Independent black metal visionaries PROFANE ELEGY have released their latest single, “As My Heart Turns to Ash,” today, accompanied by a haunting visualizer. The track is the latest cut from their highly anticipated sophomore album, Herezjarcha, due out January 30, 2026.

“As My Heart Turns to Ash” is a doom-laden lament that explores themes of emotional detachment, hardening one’s heart, and walking away from what cannot be saved. With its deliberate pacing, mournful melodies, and the introduction of ghostly clean vocal passages, the song marks one of the band’s most introspective and vulnerable moments to date.

The single is the latest glimpse into Herezjarcha, an album that expands every dimension of PROFANE ELEGY’s sound. Following their acclaimed 2023 debut When All Is Nothing, which drew praise for its fusion of atmospheric black metal and doom-laden despair, the upcoming record promises to be heavier, more dynamic, and thematically deeper. Produced by J Gulick and mastered by Kevin Antreassian (Backroom Studios), Herezjarcha embodies the band’s commitment to vision over genre purity, weaving together black, doom, death, and progressive elements with orchestral textures and philosophical lyricism.

About PROFANE ELEGY

PROFANE ELEGY is a black metal band from Bangor, Pennsylvania, formed in late 2021 by guitarist J Gulick and vocalist Mikael L. Originally conceived as a two-man studio project, the band quickly evolved into a full lineup with the addition of bassist David G and drummer Sean M in 2023. What sets PROFANE ELEGY apart is their refusal to remain confined within genre boundaries—while rooted firmly in black metal, their sound incorporates elements of death, doom, and progressive metal, often enhanced by orchestral arrangements and clean vocals.

The band’s debut album When All Is Nothing (2023) was released independently and drew attention for its blend of atmospheric aggression and emotional vulnerability. The release earned praise for its ability to move fluidly between blistering speed and melancholic melody, with Doom Heart calling it “a massive Doom delight.” Following the album’s release, PROFANE ELEGY made their live debut and began performing across the northeastern United States, including a notable support slot for Dark Funeral in late 2024.

Lyrically, the band explores themes of nihilism, mortality, philosophy, and religious symbolism—often invoking figures like Satan not as dogmatic statements, but as metaphors in a broader spiritual and existential dialogue. Their work is poetic, introspective, and often challenges the listener to confront uncomfortable truths about life, death, and belief.

Their upcoming full-length album Herezjarcha, set for release in January 2026, represents the band’s most ambitious and expansive work to date. With a more dynamic sound, deeper orchestration, and a clear conceptual throughline, the record pushes their sonic and thematic boundaries further than ever before. The album title—a made-up word meaning “arch-heretic”—encapsulates the spirit of the band: rebellious, introspective, and unafraid to question the sacred.

PROFANE ELEGY continues to forge a unique path within the underground metal scene. Blending bleak intensity with philosophical weight, they aim not just to be heard—but to be felt.

PROFANE ELEGY is:
 

  • Mikael L – Vocals, Orchestration

  • J Gulick – Guitars, Orchestration

  • David G – Bass, Orchestration

  • Sean M – Drums

DEVORA Releases New Single "Cocaine Karaoke" ​

Outlaw pop trailblazer DEVORA has released her brand-new single “Cocaine Karaoke” alongside a visualizer, available now on all platforms. 

 

“I wrote ‘Cocaine Karaoke’ in Nashville with Johnny Gates and Austin Luther, and it came out of one of the most unhinged relationships I’ve ever been in,” DEVORA shares. “I was dating this guy who was living a double life; completely full of shit, always coked up, making these wild promises that never meant anything. It almost became a running joke how insane his lies got, like I was just buying into this karaoke version of reality he was selling me. Fed up and spun out on emotional whiplash, I put it all into this song."

 

She adds, "His lies started to feel like karaoke: loud, performative, and not real. He’d promise me the world, but it was all just a drug-fueled performance—cocaine karaoke. All noise and no substance. This song is me calling it out for what it was and closing that chapter for good.”

We Came As Romans + Currents Release Reimagined Version Of “Bad Luck” Feat. Anthony Notarmaso (After The Burial)

Just weeks after wrapping their triumphant Bad Luck U.S. headline tour, metalcore mainstays We Came As Romans have unveiled a reimagined version of single bad luck, this time joined by tourmates Currents and Anthony Notarmaso of After The Burial—two of the standout support acts from the tour’s powerhouse lineup. Stream We Came As Romans & Currents - bad luck feat Anthony Notarmaso HERE and watch the visualizer Below.

Originally released as the lead single from All Is Beautiful…Because We’re DoomedWe Came As Romans’ most thematically ambitious and emotionally honest record to date—bad luck quickly became a cornerstone of the album’s reflection on grief, transformation, and survival. Stream the album now HERE. The reimagined version brings new weight and perspective, layering in Brian Wille’s commanding vocals and Anthony Notarmaso’s unmistakable intensity. What began as a personal reckoning now expands, bridging three of the scene’s most respected forces into a single moment of cathartic heaviness.

We were fans of We Came As Romans and After The Burial long before having the pleasure of touring with them and making some life-long memories together,” shares Brian Wille of Currents. “It was a great time getting to collaborate on this new version of bad luck and we’re very excited to share it with all of you!”

I’m very flattered and honored that the WCAR boys wanted to include me on such an awesome track,” adds Anthony Notarmaso of After The Burial. “I still have the song stuck in my head!

The release follows We Came As Romans’ sold-out U.S. tour run and arrives ahead of their upcoming fall headline tour across Europe and the UK with Brand Of Sacrifice and Heavensgate, as well as appearances at major US festivals Louder Than Life and When We Were Young Fest.

ABOUT WE CAME AS ROMANS

We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still—effortlessly moving between metal, alternative, metalcore, and rock.

The Michigan-born five-piece—Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—first broke through with Tracing Back Roots (2013), which cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit #1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.

Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band has continued to honor his legacy with their 2022 album, Darkbloom, their highest-praised record to date. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend." It featured career-defining tracks like "Black Hole" (ft. Caleb Shomo), now over 102 million Spotify streams, and "Daggers" (ft. Zero 9:36), which surpassed 32 million streams. Media outlets including Loudwire and Consequence praised the album for its emotional range, sonic heft, and unapologetic vulnerability.

Now, with 'ALL IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED,' the band enters their most ambitious chapter yet—scarred, sharpened, and more fearless than ever.

THE FELL RELEASE SECOND SINGLE “FACE OUT”

The Fell is a modern rock powerhouse fronted by dynamic vocalist Toby Rand, featuring legendary bassist Billy Sheehan, acclaimed producer/guitarist Mike Krompass and explosive drummer Nick Chiarore. The band’s first single, “Killswitch,” has racked up over 65k views since it’s August release while garnering accolades along the way. 
 

“Face Out” is the powerful new single that captures the thrill of breaking free but understanding the gravity of holding on. The lyrics explore the primal tension between escape into the unknown, whilst keeping the anchor of connection and love. “Face Out” is a rock n’ roll dreamscape showcasing Rand’s raw/emotional vocals, with Mike (K.) Krompass’ signature guitar prowess mixed Sheehan’s undeniable Bass supremacy. It’s a bold reminder that sometimes, we have to let go to truly come alive.

'Face Out’ is really about realizing that sometimes the hardest thing to do is let go — but it’s also the only way forward. It’s not the letting go that holds you back, it’s when you can’t. Once you release the weight of the past, you can actually see what’s ahead of you.”Mike K. (The Fell)

'Face Out’ is a bold reminder that “Sometimes we have to let go to truly come alive"- Toby Rand (The Fell)

PLATINUM RECORDING ARTIST ATLUS ANNOUNCES LABEL DEBUT EP SECONDHAND SMOKE SET FOR OCTOBER 10 VIA BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE

Platinum recording artist Atlus announced today the release of his debut EP on BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Secondhand Smoke, arriving October 10. The six-song collection marks the next chapter for the viral hitmaker whose career has grown from underground phenom to a billion-plus on-demand streams, four independent studio albums, a Platinum single, national touring, and millions of fans across social platforms.

“The songs on Secondhand Smoke are more than just individual tracks; they are chapters from my life,” says Atlus. ”Each one tells a story that I’ve lived through and it’s my hope that they push somebody out there to keep fighting, dreaming, and that there is something in one of those chapters that helps them keep showing up."

Pulling back the curtain on his past to forge a new path forward, Secondhand Smoke sees Atlus writing on each track, confronting deeply personal themes, from a turbulent home life and his mother’s resilience, to his sister’s battle with addiction and his own journey with mental health. Pre-Save/Pre-Add Secondhand Smoke HERE.

Out today, “IOD on YOU” is the second release from the project. The song transforms a family history of addiction into a striking love story. Over an ethereal, dream-like soundscape that builds toward an uplifting crescendo, Atlus revisits past vices of loved ones before revealing the twist, his newest and most consuming addiction is love itself. Listen Below.

“IOD on YOU” joins the previously released “Devil Ain’t Done” and its official video on the forthcoming project. Listen HERE / Watch Video HERE

Atlus will mark the release of Secondhand Smoke with a special Nashville preview performance on October 9 at Cannery Hall. A limited number of public tickets are available HERE.

About Atlus:

Raised in a single-parent home marked by poverty and addiction, Atlus had to grow up fast, building resilience and a lifelong commitment to authenticity in his music. Phonetically named after the mythological Titan who held up the heavens, he began writing while working long hours as a commercial truck driver, crafting lyrics and melodies behind the wheel to help support his family and fund studio time.

That pavement-pounding grind became both his classroom and his engine, fueling the rise of a loyal underground following. Breakthrough moments soon followed, including performing alongside Jelly Roll at a packed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his home state and landing a Top 5 album on Spotify’s Global Album Chart. With over a billion on-demand streams, millions of followers across socials, and a Platinum single to his name, Atlus continues to turn personal stories into universal anthems. Now signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, he is preparing to share his most revealing project yet, Secondhand Smoke, available October 10.

ALEXANDRA KAY’S “WHAT HE DOES” DELIVERS SOUL-STIRRING KNOCKOUT, AHEAD OF NEW ALBUM, SECOND WIND, DROPPING OCTOBER 24

Billboard-charting singer/songwriter and Pandora “2025 Artist to Watch: Country” Alexandra Kay keeps the anticipation surging over her sophomore album, Second Wind, out October 24, with the release of “What He Does.” Available today, the soul-affirming ballad about the power of selfless love is one of the most breathtaking and emotionally radiant tracks of her career. Listen below.

Written by Alexandra Kay with producer Andrew DeRoberts and Allison Veltz-Cruz, the fierce and stripped-back reflection is exactly what her 8.7M social media followers have come to cherish from the rising star. Woven with golden honesty and infused with her timeless vocals, the CMT 2025 Next Women of Country member proves her brilliant storytelling is "custom-made for the country music genre" (People).

Featured on her upcoming album Second Wind, the flawless new gem follows a string of standout releases, including the powerhouse anthem “Straight For The Heart,” “Feminine Energy,” “The Last,” and “Cupid’s A Cowgirl.” 

Coming up, the compelling entertainer will take the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) stage with Dallas Smith tomorrow (9/13) to perform their hit single “How Do You Miss Me” that’s currently Top 5 at Canadian country radio. Following the CCMAs, the electrifying globetrotter - who just returned from her sold-out European Tour - immediately heads out on her Second Wind: The Tour that is also selling out fast. Launching September 26 in Atlanta, the celebratory trek will span 30-nationwide dates, hitting major markets like Nashville, Boston, New Orleans, Anaheim, Las Vegas and more. Get tickets HERE.

With her independent debut album, All I’ve Ever Known, hitting #1 on iTunes (All Genre & Country) and Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts (Country Album, Emerging Artist and HeatSeeker), the heart-first starlet - now signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville - is serving up the same tear-streaked ballads, raw, poetic storytelling and diary-deep honesty that her fans crave.

Born from the wreckage of a divorce, her debut was survival in real time, and although heartbreak still lingers, it no longer leads. Breathing new life into her story, Second Wind is a revival, hitting like a spark in the dark - magnetic and glowing with possibility. Pre-order/pre-save/pre-add HERE.

LA electronic duo LUCKYANDLOVE reveals 'Lonely At Night', rich taster of coming album

LA-based synthwave outfit LUCKYANDLOVE presents their new single 'Lonely At Night', a sultry retro-futuristic delight previewing their third album 'Humaura' (hu • mau • ra), defined by the duo as the atmosphere that emanates from the feelings of the human spirit void of technological control.

Inducing a melancholy dream state of layered sounds, 'Lonely At Night' brings a waterfall of cascading analog strings into shuttering bass lines as syncopated percussion splashes around. With haunted swirling vocals, buzzed out synths, and electrified vibes, they propose a sonic escape from the loneliness through this vortex-sea of sound.

Evoking a brand new art school originality, LUCKYANDLOVE is the raw sonic experiment of Loren Luck and April Love, whose music transcends genres. Their live analog synth beats, Moog instrumentation and beautiful, harmonic vocals trigger an immediate download of fuzzy sunset synthgaze, blue-black neon darkwave, and tigerprint electro punk.

"Picture of a vacant dorm room, where almost everyone left for holiday, leaving the character almost completely alone in a haunted dorm building. The track speeds up in the end, guitars and harmonies a cheerful finale," says April Love.

Loren Luck adds, "Loneliness is a killer. The song describes human feelings of being lonely and reconnecting. We are social animals that require human interaction in the flesh. Life is more enjoyable with someone to share it. Entrapments of modern day keeps people imprisoned. A romantic song."

'Lonely At Night' arrives on the back of their angst-laden anthem ‘I Am Human’, delicately fused together with pulsating molten kicks, abrasive fuzz-laden analog synths and confident sensual vocals. Calling out to make our own choices and take back our lives, this song underlines the need to reconnect with being Human.

This album was recorded, mixed and mastered for digital release by Grammy award-winning engineer Be Hussey (Modern English, Swervedriver, The Church, Alcest, Twin Tribes, Boy Harsher, Luna, Kim Deal) at Balboa Studio and Catwater for the digital music, and mastered for vinyl and lathe cut by Grammy-nominated engineer Nicholas Townsend (Cheap Trick, Weezer, Garbage, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Grimes, Iron Maiden) at Townsend Mastering.

LUCKYANDLOVE’s visceral, urgently-present dark electro-pop appeal continues to stretch through time and space. Their 'Lucky + Love' and 'Transitions' albums earned them a global fan following and led to US and UK tours, while their tracks 'It's a Mistake', 'Animal' and 'Summertime Frolic' appeared in the film 'Tiger Within' (Ed Asner's final performance), featuring music supervised by Tony Knox, DJ at KXLU's No More Heroes show.

Blending raw analog synth sounds with driving punctuated percussion and punchy analog bass, the compositions on ‘Humaura’ feature enchanting lyrics rooted in emotions ranging from melancholy and sorrowful glom to a state of blissful trance. Shaped by the embers of Siouxsie and The Banshees, Cocteau Twins, and Bauhaus, resonant specters carry over from synth-laden galaxies, where the needle hit the vinyl groove and Doc Martens marched to basement dance floors.

On September 9, 'Lonely at Night' is available on all music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.  The 'Humaura' album will be released on October 3 via SRD - Southern Record Distributors and can now be pre-ordered from the LUCKYANDLOVE Store or Bandcamp.

LUCKYANDLOVE's record release party is October 11 at The Slipper Clutch in LA via Deathrecordzz Presents, with appearances by Warsaw Pact, Amore De Paris, No Exits, and a DJ set by Echolust.

Swim the Current Release New Single "Set It Off" via TLG|ZOID ​  

The dynamic rock band Swim the Current is excited to announce the release of their latest single, "Set It Off", via TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. This incredible new track was co-produced by George Pond and David Caplinger.

 

Alongside the single, Swim the Current also premiered the official music video for “Set It Off" that was directed by Tom Flynn. The video delivers a spoof on the cult-classic film Point Break, along with the band’s high-octane performance.

It is criminal not to watch it now!

 

STREAM "Set It Off"

https://ffm.to/stc-set-it-off

 

The band's vocalist, Marcos Leal states, "The song defines everything Swim The Current is and the message we carry,  a little bit of Texas country mixed with our heavy metal roots, with an attitude that won’t lay down for anyone. Get on board and enjoy the ride! It’s the echo in the tale you tried to bury, rising soft but sharp through the silence.  A thorn in the story you spun in gold, blooming louder each time you lied.”

 

The band will be playing The Stone Pony in Asbury, NJ on Friday, October 3rd with Close Enemies.

 

Bringing together an all-star lineup of rock talents, including vocalist Marcos Leal(formerly of Ill Niño), bassist George Pond (Disciples of Verity), guitarist Greg Antine, drummer Chris Moore (George Lynch, Ultraphonix, Rock of Ages), and lead guitarist Joe Gareri, takes the band's sound to new heights.

 

WATCH the Official Music Video Directed by Tom Flynn for "Set It Off":

Having played in numerous bands throughout the years, Guitarist Greg Antine came to a point in his career where he wanted to branch out and write songs that had more depth and were inspired by his personal life experiences. Having worked with Bassist George Pond for several years in previous projects including, Disciples Of Verity, Greg expressed his concept for Swim The Current to George in hopes of collaborating with him on this new music venture. The two began to flesh out ideas in George’s home studio and realized quickly that they were on to something special, but still needed something more to see their ideas through to complete their concepts. Greg was introduced to Joe Gareri, Guitar/Keyboards, by George during the Disciples Of Verity debut album recording sessions which Joe is also featured on as a guest artist. The three of them immediately hit it off and worked extremely well together. Greg and George realized that Joe’s cinematic writing style would be a perfect match for their concepts and Joe was then brought in as a full time member. After two songs were completed and demo’d in George’s studio utilizing programmed drums, it was suggested by their friend Allyson Song River Jaynes, that they reach out to her friend, drummer Chris Moore of Ultraphonix, Rock Of Ages, to see if he would be interested in working with the project. Upon hearing the strength of songwriting and musicianship of the band, Chris was all in and signed on as the fourth full time member of STC and now the band, from an instrument’s perspective, was complete.

 

The final missing piece for STC was a lead vocalist who could capture the sound they envisioned for their music. After working in the studio with a few different vocalists, George ultimately reached out to his friend Marcos Leal, of legendary international touring band Ill Nino. Marcos loved the music of STC as well as having the freedom and creativity of writing lyrics for the project. After recording their first song together with Marcos, "We Are Not The Same", everyone new that this lineup was something special and Swim The Current was now complete! The release of "We Are Not The Same" took off instantly, and amassed thousands of streams, YouTube views and followers through a total organic DIY social media campaign.

 

Swim The Current’s sound is influenced and reminiscent of many of their favorite artists including, Deftones, Faith No More, Sevendust, POD, and Stabbing Westward. They continue to write new music and look forward to sharing their future releases with the world!

Jenna Paulette Releases “Steady,” Readies CowboyGirl Fall Collection for 9/15 Launch

Leo33’s rising country artist Jenna Paulette, who teased new music in 2026 in a recent COWGIRL Magazine profile, is previewing her upcoming project with the release of “Steady,” available everywhere now. Listen Below
 
“Ross and I were working cattle one day and I looked over at him, his handle on his horse looked so light and good, and I thought, 'he holds my hand like he holds the reins…steady.' I put that into my phone and ended up talking about the idea with Rhett Akins and Will Bundy on a writers retreat,” Paulette recalls of the writing process. “The song was way slower when we work taped it. My manager said on a call with the label, what about “Steady,” but think of it as more uptempo with soaring steel guitar. I’m so glad he could hear the potential through a rough version of the song.”
 
Written by Paulette, Will Bundy and Rhett Akins, and produced by Bundy, “Steady” is a testament to the understated strength of a dependable partner. 

Alongside new music, Paulette is celebrating the one-year anniversary of her CowboyGirl women’s range wear collection, in partnership with Ely Cattleman, with the launch of the CowboyGirl fall line on September 15. The fall drop introduces fresh seasonal details, including new autumn-oriented colors, a seasonal plaid and an expansion of the line to include the Little CowboyGirl collection — designed with the same fabrics in a “mommy down” style for mothers and daughters to wear together.
 
Reflecting on this chapter in her life, Paulette shares, "I feel like I'm getting into the groove of motherhood while being a touring musician, things are picking up in all aspects of my life. It’s feeling more like a moving train that I'm riding. It's picking up speed—I’m excited for the momentum of it all, with the way the music and Cowboygirl work together.” 
 
The Fall line builds on CowboyGirl’s focus of functional fit, with classic tone-on-tone styles available in both seasonal colors and classic solids of white and black — designed for dressier occasions or for rodeo competitors in need of dependable gear. CowboyGirl’s fall collection will be available at local retailers or elycattleman.com

CowboyGirl Celebrates One-Year Anniversary with Fall Collection Launch on

CHAYCE BECKHAM DIVES DEEP INTO THE “OCEAN BLUE” WITH POIGNANTLY SEA-SOAKED CLASSIC COUNTRY HEARTBREAKER

Platinum-selling, chart-topping country riser Chayce Beckham returns following his acclaimed debut album, Bad For Me, and #1 smash "23" with the hauntingly deep “Ocean Blue.” Rooting the lonesome groove in classic country, the poignant heartbreaker - produced by Bart Butler - is amplified by rich fiddle, striking steel guitar and timeless rhythm. Reminiscent of the storytelling spirit of country legends like George Strait, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, listen Below

Joining Warren Zeiders on his Relapse, Lies & Betrayal Tour this fall, following shows with Luke Bryan, Parker McCollum, Tyler Hubbard and more, the 2025 Grand Ole Opry NextStage artist captures the vulnerability of a breakup on this latest release, aligning feelings of sadness and longing with the vast, restless sea. 

“I wrote this song last fall with Brandon Kinney and John Pierce on my tour bus,” Beckham shares. “This is one of my favorites. I love songs that sound like this, and I am very proud of how it came out and who I wrote it with. I’m excited to finally have it out in the world. This is the first of several songs I’ll be releasing, happy and sad, and I’m excited for y’all to hear them all.”

Recounting a love gone too soon, heartbreak can feel like being caught in a stormy ocean. When all that remains are the memories, those waves of sadness wash over you and a different shade of blue emerges. 

“One of the genre’s most exciting rising stars,” this “poster child for impactful and meaningful Country music right now” (Entertainment Focus), leans hard into his signature, authentic brand of songwriting that “country music needs more of” (Taste of Country).” With more music on the way, the chart-topper is one of few country risers who have “fully solidified themselves as industry players and have become household names” (American Songwriter).

K. MICHELLE SERVES UP AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING COUNTRY DEBUT, “JACK DANIEL'S”

The powerhouse voice of R&B took her highly anticipated turn down a dirt road — and it’s paved with passion, rich vocals and southern soul, as platinum-selling recording artist K. Michelle officially defies genre lines. Bursting onto the country music scene with the fiercely breathtaking “Jack Daniel's,” the track marks a seismic musical shift for one of R&B’s most distinctive voices, bringing her raw firepower to Nashville’s front porch. The first black woman to ever partner with the iconic brand, listen to her gripping, genre-breaking country debut HERE

With a voice that could melt steel and lyrics that cut true, K. Michelle quips that the Tennessee whiskey is the “only man she trusts.” Produced by Kristian Bush (Megan Moroney, Sugarland) and Jeff Balding, the Billboard-charting heavyweight wrote the smoky, soul-drenched power ballad packed with bite, grit and brilliance alongside ERNEST, Jordan Dozzi and Rocky Block, delivering a soundscape that’s as intoxicating as the spirit it honors.

“This is me coming home,” says K. Michelle, whose over 12M social media followers have been frantically demanding this release for months. “Country is in my blood. I was raised on southern soil in Memphis, Tennessee, where soul and country grew from the same roots. This new music is a celebration of where I come from — the pride, the bittersweet and the whiskey-soaked truth of it all." 

Long known for her fearless lyricism and vocal prowess, the acclaimed singer-songwriter is bringing the same unfiltered passion to country that made her an R&B icon. With this release, the magnetic multi-threat joins the exceptional class of trailblazing black country artists changing the country music game, adding: “This is my story, and I’m ready for the world to hear it.”

With undeniable star power at the helm, K. Michelle has arrived in country music — and she’s taking over, releasing even more new music very soon. 

About K. Michelle:
With over 12M social media followers, K. Michelle’s incredibly stunning career is nothing short of groundbreaking as she has stretched genre boundaries and built a worldwide audience of fans. With an already impressive resume, the multi-threat is not only an accomplished ​​singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, with five Billboard charting albums, but she’s also an entrepreneur, author, executive, actress, television personality and restaurateur. Praised as real, brave, and rebellious, a notion beautifully present throughout her 2013 album Rebellious Soul, K. Michelle’s indomitable spirit and innately bold talent has encapsulated fans throughout her multifarious career. For listeners craving relatable music, her classic candor serves as a safe space and trademark.

In 2023, the Memphis, Tenn. native surprised fans by announcing that she was readying her debut country project. In true K. Michelle fashion, the always-real songstress gave a taste of what to expect with the album’s bonus track “Tennessee” on her sixth studio album I’m The Problem. True to her word, that same year, the Billboard-charting icon was featured on the acclaimed A Tribute To The Judds album, singing “Love Can Build A Bridge” alongside Jelly Roll and Fisk Jubilee Singers, performed on “The 57th Annual CMA Awards” that aired live on ABC and made her CMA Fest Nissan Stadium debut. 

Reared in a household where the music of Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston played alongside country icons like The Judds and Lee Ann Womack, she put her Volunteer State roots on display when she earned a music scholarship to Florida A&M University for yodeling. Now, defying genres, destroying stereotypes, and fully unleashing her undeniable star power, K. Michelle has finally released her debut country track with the fierce powerhouse smash “Jack Daniel's,” available now.

1916 Drops New Single “Upon the Green” Produced by Ted Hutt ​

1916, the boundary-pushing rock band known for blending classic rock grit with Irish punk, straight-up punk, rockabilly, and more, unleashes their latest single, “Upon the Green.” This is the third release from their highly anticipated full-length album, Conscience of Kings, due next spring, and it proves once again why 1916 is a force to be reckoned with in modern rock. Produced by Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys), the track smashes expectations with high-energy riffs, driving rhythms, and unrelenting attitude.

 

“We had a bet! It was 2 in the morning at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, TX and we were still a track short for the album,” said Hutt. “I bet you can't come up with a song worthy of its place on the record by tomorrow morning. Billy grabbed the nearest guitar, shuffled off with it, a bag of chips, and a bottle of Bushmills single malt, and by 10 the next morning had a completely new song—and it was a banger!! We just had to put it on the record!”

 

Since their formation, 1916 has been carving out a sound all their own—fusing raw rock energy, Irish punk attitude, and rockabilly swagger into songs that hit hard but never feel formulaic. Their live shows are as explosive as their recordings, earning them a devoted fanbase and critical acclaim alike. Conscience of Kings promises to be their most dynamic work yet, showcasing the band’s versatility and fearless approach to genre-blending.

About 1916:

 

Hailing from upstate NY, Celtic rockers 1916 are an explosive concoction of the modern Irish Punk movement with an original mix of psychobilly which gives 1916 a sound that stands apart from other bands of the genre.

 

Starting as an acoustic duo in 2006, singer Billy Herring and original drummer Steve LaDue played the traditional Irish ballads of the Dubliners and Wolfe Tones in the local pubs in and around their home-town of Rochester, NY.  They decided to call themselves 1916 to get people interested in Irish history.  In 2010 they took the music to a new level with the addition of electric guitars, traditional instruments, and a full drum set.  Within a few months of trying their new sound, 1916 were opening for the likes of the Dropkick Murphys, 21 Pilots, and New Politics, among other national acts.

 

On St. Patrick’s Day of 2012, 1916 released their first studio album, A Drop of the Pure, to rave reviews.  That same year, 1916 became the first band from Rochester, NY to get their own Pandora station with the addition of their music to the Pandora genome project.  With their music now reaching a global audience, the boys would soon gain fans all over the world.

The following year, 1916 released their sophomore album, Stand Up & Fight.  This new album, featuring a collection of covers and originals, had a more polished sound than the raw punk feel of  A Drop of the Pure.  This new full length album also featured more traditional Irish instruments to give the new LP a fun and full sound.

 

As the band continued to evolve, they kept touring and playing as many shows as possible.  With bigger audiences came a larger fan base for 1916 to interact with.  The band has always enjoyed hanging out with the crowd both pre- and post- shows.

 

In November of 2014, the guys went back into the studio to begin recording their third album, Last Call for Heroes.  Released in December of 2015, Last Call for Heroes was met with great enthusiasm from critics.  Named one of the “best punk albums of 2016,” both home and abroad, the new album appeared to have given the band the momentum they needed to move forward.

 

Mandolin player Jon Kane joined the band in early 2016, just before the boys hit the road to join Flogging Molly on their Salty Dog Cruise.  After a whirlwind spring of touring through the Bahamas and Europe, Jon was just what the band needed as he brought his energetic and fun stage persona into the fold.

The sound had certainly become streamlined and unique, but it wasn’t until 2017 that upright bassist Ryan Hurley would join 1916 to give the band the final integral piece that gives the music its psychobilly flavor. Soon after Ryan joined the band, 1916 further expanded their sound by the addition of accordion player Sam Sarratori to the crew!

 

Then…Covid hit in 2020. The band had just settled into a groove where they were poised for a northeastern US tour alongside a new live album. All that had to be put on hold indefinitely until further notice. After a year on hold, Billy knew something needed to be done to get momentum going again for his band. With that in mind, he packed up and moved to Nashville TN in order to give the music of 1916 more visibility. It was around this time the band welcomed the thundering drums of Chad Paetznick to take over behind the kit.

 

1916 has since been picked up by TLG|ROCK for a distribution deal for not only their fifth full length studio album Revolutions, but for their sixth LP, titled Conscience of Kings. This new record is being produced by Grammy Award winning musician & producer Ted Hutt at the legendary Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso Texas.
