Rainy Park Release Debut Single “Dumb” - Out Now

"Dumb" tells the story of falling for someone you knew you shouldn’t trust from the start. Warning signs appear early, but hope and attraction blur your judgment. What begins as excitement slowly turns into attachment, and eventually into pain. - RAINY PARK

Emerging rock band RAINY PARK are making a statement with the release of their brand new single “Dumb,” a track that blends gritty honesty with powerful modern rock energy. The song delivers a relatable and unapologetic look at the moments in life when emotions, mistakes, and self-reflection collide.

With “Dumb,” RAINY PARK taps into the frustration and vulnerability that come from recognizing the choices we sometimes make when emotions take over. The track captures that universal feeling of looking back on a moment and realizing you might have known better, but did it anyway.

Driven by punchy guitar riffs, a tight rhythm section, and emotionally charged vocals, “Dumb”balances attitude with authenticity. The song builds from reflective verses into a powerful chorus that hits with both energy and honesty, showcasing the band’s ability to combine raw storytelling with emo dynamics.

RAINY PARK is an alternative rock trio from the South Side of Chicago delivering emotionally charged songs, driving guitars, and a brutal level of honesty. Born from years in the underground touring circuit, the band blends raw vulnerability with high-energy intensity, creating a sound that feels both cathartic and anthemic.

Dirty. Groove. Rock. Crobot Unleash High-Octane New Single “Foot Off” From Upcoming Album Supermoon

With “Foot Off,” CROBOT doubles down on the groove that made them dangerous in the first place. The track plows forward on a bluesy bone tingling riff and a chorus built to cut through the roar of a vintage American muscle car. It’s a full-throttle return to the band’s Dirty Groove Rock roots—raw, electrified, and impossible to ignore.

Hard rock powerhouse CROBOT is back with a thunderous new single, “Foot Off,” offering fans another taste of the band’s upcoming album Supermoon. Known for their signature blend of groove-heavy riffs, explosive energy, and undeniable swagger, CROBOT once again proves why they remain one of the most electrifying bands in modern rock.

“Foot Off” hits like a runaway freight train from the opening riff, combining crunchy guitar work, pounding drums, and the unmistakable powerhouse vocals of frontman Brandon Yeagley. The track delivers an adrenaline-fueled anthem built around the idea of pushing forward without hesitation—never slowing down and never taking your foot off the gas.

"Foot Off" puts us right back in the driver's seat of charging our way through open highways at break neck speed with our destination set to our Dirty Groove Rock roots. This one is for the fans that have been with us from the beginning and fans that want to know exactly what we're all about - still after 15 years of being a band." 

- Brandon Yeagley

“It’s somewhere between ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and Clutch. Right where I like to be baby. I’m happy we are back to funkin’. Ever since I was a wee little boy, that’s what’s always got my

motor running.” - Bishop

Lyrically, the song channels themes of determination, rebellion, and relentless drive. It’s a track that captures CROBOT'S high-energy spirit while encouraging listeners to keep charging ahead no matter the obstacles in

their path.

Shallow Rising Unveil Powerful New Single “Lens Of Time”

‘Lens of Time’ is the song that built

SHALLOW RISING dark, cinematic, and forged over years of evolution.”

"Lens Of Time" marks the beginning of multiple new releases planned from SHALLOW RISING throughout 2026.

Rising rock band SHALLOW RISING is set to release their powerful new single “Lens Of Time,” a track that blends emotional depth, soaring melodies, and cinematic intensity into a song that resonates long after the final

note fades. The track features SHALLOW RISING drummer Chris Adler, the critically acclaimed musician known for his work with Lamb Of God and Megadeth.

With “Lens Of Time,” SHALLOW RISING explores the idea of looking back at life through the perspective of experience — the memories, the regrets, the victories, and the moments that shape who we become. The song captures the feeling of reflection and growth, wrapped in a sonic atmosphere that is both haunting

and uplifting.

Driven by dynamic guitars, immersive production, and emotionally charged vocals, “Lens Of Time”showcases the band’s ability to combine modern rock power with thoughtful storytelling. The track builds from introspective verses into an explosive, anthemic chorus that captures the passage of time and the weight of the moments we carry with us.

‘Lens of Time’ was the first song we ever started writing together back in 2022. It went through multiple identities and evolutions before becoming what it is now. It’s dark, urgent, and cinematic the kind of track that feels like it belongs at the end of a dystopian thriller. It carries tension without offering easy answers, and that’s exactly why it mattered to us enough to keep rebuilding it until it hit.”

Tim King of SHALLOW RISING

SHALLOW RISING is a modern rock band with one goal: to destroy the expectations that title brings with it.The quintet - Alex Villarreal (Vocals), Tim Ossenfort (Guitar), Taylor Brandt (Bass), Tim King (Keyboards), and Chris Adler (Drums) draw from a diverse bank of influences to craft something unique but archetypical.The band came to life one winter in a cold basement in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., where Ossenfort started writing demos and sharing them with his friend Chris Adler. The duo initially met at a recording session in Nashville, becoming good friends and later working together on a hardcore project.

Ultimately, they decided to take these new demos to the studio in LA, accompanied by Taylor Brandt. After some work it became obvious what was missing, and they added

Tim King onto the team. King, Brandt, and Ossenfort had all previously toured the country together extensively. Finally, Ossenfort reached out to Alex, another longtime friend, and the new group spent the next year rewriting their songs. Bringing together influences ranging from alternative rock, 70s prog, djent, EDM, pop, and metalcore, SHALLOW RISING provides listeners with a sound that is fresh, yet familiar.

endured by all." - TIDALS

MICHAEL MONROE NEW VIDEO/ SINGLE ‘SHINOLA’ OUT NOW UPCOMING ALBUM – OUTERSTELLAR – NEARS RELEASE

Wednesday February 18th, 2025 –

Michael Monroe unleash the unapologetic and electrifying third single ‘Shinola’, taken from the PRE-ORDER AT THIS LOCATION forthcoming studio album Outerstellar, due for release this Friday, February 20th via Silver Lining Music.

For Pre-orders go to THIS LOCATION.

‘Shinola’ takes aim at a morally corrupt emotional leech who exploits everyone in their orbit, only to reap the isolation they’ve sown. It’s a razor- sharp, crowd-rallying anthem that transforms collective exasperation into raw, liberating release.

“‘Shinola’ was obviously originally written about a certain jerk but unfortunately most of us can relate as we know a lot of them” comments Michael Monroe. “There’s a lot of negative, ignorant idiots in the world and sometimes it’s good to vent frustrations by singing about it. And Karma always

gets us in the end anyway!"

Watch/Listen to ‘Shinola’ below – video by Paul M Green.

The new album Outerstellar is an experience as much as a collection of great songs, a sweet smelling, leathery, glitter-shimmered, sweat-soaked raunch and punch wrapped in one of the great voices in rock ‘n’ roll. From loud crashing guitars to harmonicas, to gorgeous acoustic moments, you’ll sing, you’ll dance, you’ll shiver, you’ll shake, and you’ll smell this wonderful exhilarating record in all its weathered biker jacket incense-coated glory and you’ll also realize that whatever the hell is going on in the world right now, when you put this album on, it’s an instant escape to carefree days and an emancipation from worries, fears and woes.

Listen to the first and second video and singles from Outerstellar – ‘Rockin’ Horse’ and ‘Disconnected’ – and watch the videos here – videos by Leigh Brooks.

Outerstellar will see a whole burst of life when

Michael Monroe and band bring it to stages internationally over the course of the year. The first glimpse will happen on the Buckcherry UK co-headline tour, kicking off in Southampton on February 24, where fans will get to experience some of these new tracks live for the very first time.

BILLBOARD-CHARTING ROCK FRONTMAN BRANDON YEAGLEY LAUNCHES PERFORMANCE-BASED MUSIC SCHOOL IN HIS HOMETOWN OF POTTSVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA

Let There Be Rock Schools proudly announces the opening of

Let There Be Rock School – Pottsville, a performance-based music education center co-owned by internationally touring musician Brandon Yeagley, frontman of the hard rock band Crobot—a band with multiple Top 20 Billboard-charting singles and a Top 10 Billboard hit with the song "Low Life."

The school officially opens Monday, March 2, and is located at 2300 Mahantongo Street, Pottsville, Pennsylvania—in the same region where Yeagley first discovered music, formed early bands, and began the journey that led to a sustained international touring career.

Let There Be Rock School – Pottsville was founded with a clear mission: to serve as a proof of concept that students from Schuylkill County can build meaningful, lifelong careers in music while remaining rooted in their community.

A PERFORMANCE - FIRST APPROACH TO MUSIC EDUCATION

Let There Be Rock School – Pottsville is built around a performance-based curriculum, setting it apart from traditional lesson models that focus exclusively on private instruction. Students don’t just learn their instrument—they learn how to collaborate in bands, rehearse with purpose, prepare for live performances, and step on stage with confidence.

Programs are available for children, teens, and adults, with instruction offered in guitar, bass, drums, vocals, keyboards, songwriting, improvisation, and ensemble performance. Students may enroll in one-on-one lessons, band programs, or a combination of both, with regular live showcases serving as key developmental milestones.

The school emphasizes a safe, encouraging, and kid-friendly environment, prioritizing confidence, teamwork, discipline, creativity, and self-expression—skills that extend far beyond music.

FROM LOCAL ROOTS TO GLOBAL STAGES— AND BACK AGAIN

Yeagley’s involvement goes well beyond name recognition. With decades of real-world experience touring internationally, releasing charting records, and navigating the modern music industry, he has helped shape the school’s curriculum to reflect practical, real-world musical pathways, not just theory.

After years on the road, Yeagley made a deliberate decision to reinvest his knowledge and experience back into the community that shaped him.

AN INCUBATOR FOR THE NEXT GENERATION

Let There Be Rock School – Pottsville is designed to function as a creative incubator, supporting students at every stage—from first lessons to advanced performance. While not every student will pursue music professionally, the curriculum is structured to ensure that every student gains confidence, resilience, and a strong creative foundation.

Through community partnerships, live performances, and youth-focused programming, the school aims to strengthen the local arts ecosystem while offering students a tangible example of what sustained creative careers can look like.

OPEN HOUSE & ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

The school will host an Open House from February 23 through February 26, running nightly from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Families and prospective students are invited to tour the facility, meet instructors, and learn more about available programs.

Regular school hours beginning March 2:

Monday–Thursday | 3:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Enrollment is currently open, with space limited.

THE PUBLIK Unleashes Bold, Unfiltered New Single “Guaranteed”, A Fearless Rock Anthem Challenging Modern Censorship, Hypocrisy, and Social Division

THE PUBLIK returns with their explosive and unapologetic new single, “Guaranteed,” a track that refuses to pull punches while diving headfirst into one of today’s most controversial cultural conversations — the erosion of free expression and the rise of performative morality in modern society.

Driven by raw energy, sharp lyrical delivery, and the band’s signature hard-hitting sonic intensity, “Guaranteed” stands as both a rallying cry and a reflection of growing frustrations felt across America. The track blends aggressive rock instrumentation with emotionally charged storytelling, creating a song that is as thought-provoking as it is sonically powerful.

At its core, “Guaranteed” challenges listeners to confront uncomfortable truths about modern discourse, social division, and the blurred lines between personal belief and public condemnation.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, THE PUBLIK shares:

“‘Guaranteed’ is about how in America right now we’ve gradually lost the freedom of speech to the point now where when you do say what you want to say and truly express concerns or beliefs, the threat of being reprimanded is very real. Furthermore, the same people enforcing these things are the same people who think they’d get into heaven and deserve some form of righteous, rewarded afterlife, while in reality no god would ever reward this fake mask of devotion while you’re splitting families apart and promoting pure hatred in their everyday lives. We live in a country where so many people are disguising and excusing their wrongdoings and ill wills and writing them off as ‘political views’.”

Musically, “Guaranteed” captures THE PUBLIKat their most intense and honest. The track fuses gritty guitar work, commanding rhythms, and emotionally charged vocal delivery to create a sound that mirrors the urgency of its message. The band continues to solidify their reputation for crafting music that doesn’t just entertain but sparks conversation and reflection.

With “Guaranteed,” THE PUBLIK reinforces their commitment to fearless artistic expression, pushing boundaries both musically and lyrically while remaining rooted in authenticity and emotional truth. The single marks another step forward in the band’s evolution as they continue to carve their place in the modern rock landscape.

Fans of bold, socially conscious rock music will find “Guaranteed” to be both a powerful listening experience and a call to think deeper about the world around them.

"GUARANTEED"

IS AVAILABLE ON ALL STREAMING PLATFORMS

Fans can expect “Stuck Out” to further cement Four Thirty Four as a band to watch in the modern rock landscape. The single highlights the group’s evolution as songwriters and performers, capturing the urgency and passion that defines their music.

Sonically, FOUR THIRTY FOUR draw comparisons to Velvet Revolver on steroids, blending classicrock attitude with modern urgency and polish. “Stuck Out” is built to catch your ear and yourheart, delivering a hook-heavy rush that resonates long after the final

chorus fades.

“Stuck Out” is available on all major

streaming platforms.

The Crowned Rise from the Shadows with Explosive New Single “Fallen One”

"We praise the skies for fallen angels..."

Hard rock powerhouse THE CROWNED return with a thunderous new single, “Fallen One,” a gripping and emotionally charged track that showcases the band’s signature blend of soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and unapologetic intensity.

ABOUT THE SONG

"Fallen One" is an onslaught of groove riff's and thrash going back and forth competing with each other. Until finally, you hit the chorus that breathes big open church choir power vocals to fill a whole cathedral. Just when you think the song is going to stay calm, it builds into a heavy slam beat that you cannot help but head bang to. After things take a turn for the worst, you're met with fast double bass pounding in your chest until you can't handle anymore. After that, a solo rips your soul in half with speed and intensity. The solo climaxes at the end with a beautiful uplifting harmony that you will sing for days after you've only heard the song once. We go back into the chorus one last time to give a louder and powerful shout for the"Fallen One" and a brutal scream ends the song with fast intense double bass and an abrupt ending leaving you questioning what the hell

just happened.

Every band has their own "it" factor.

THE CROWNED stands out amongst the rest with their looks, stage presence, and set up. It's not every day you see a band with a frontman as the drummer and singer. The band formed in 2013 out of great state of Texas. Creating gory music videos, a slew of surprises for live performances, and metal music that is remembered well after the stage is vacant,

THE CROWNED is not an act you want to miss.

Now signed to Curtain Call Records and M7 Talent Agency, THE CROWNED is prepping for a tour in the summer in Europe.

More details to come.

Supergroup SKY KNIVES Ignite Emotional Firestorm with Explosive New Single “Talking To Myself”

SKY KNIVES have officially unleashed their electrifying new single, “Talking To Myself.” The track delivers a gripping fusion of emotional vulnerability, sonic intensity, and razor-sharp songwriting that solidifies SKY KNIVES as a formidable new force in modern rock.

“Talking To Myself” is a pressure chamber—steel walls, flickering lights, and a voice ricocheting back from the dark. Built on industrial pulse and mechanical groove, the song captures the moment when isolation turns confrontational, when the mind becomes both interrogator and witness. It’s about the fracture between who you present to the world and who answers you in the silence—gears grinding, thoughts looping, truth surfacing through repetition. Cold, hypnotic, and relentless, "Talking To Myself" doesn’t search for comfort; it locks in, turns the noise up, and forces clarity through impact.

ABOUT SKY KNIVES

SKY KNIVES is a modern rock ritual disguised as a band—five architects of sound carving melody and menace into the same blade. Led by Jonny Sculls (Pvsher) on vocals, with

James Skrtich (ex A Killers Confession, current The Union Underground) and Joey Rodriguez (ex Allele) forging twin-guitar atmospheres, Ilyn Nathaniel (The Union Underground) anchoring the low end, and Marc Coronado (The Crowned) driving the pulse, SKY KNIVES conjures songs that feel summoned rather than written.

Their music lives at the crossroads of shadow and fire: anthemic, dark, and strangely beautiful, threaded with the myth of the Witch—an unseen force that awakens power, splits truth from illusion, and demands transformation.

Equal parts groove and grit, spectacle and intention,with an industrial feel and a hearbeat that is undeniable, SKY KNIVES isn’t chasing nostalgia or trends; they’re building a world—one where sound cuts clean, belief becomes fuel, and the blade always points forward.

LORDS OF ACID ANNOUNCE A NEW ALBUM. A NEW TOUR. A NEW ERA.

Electronic provocateurs LORDS OF ACID return to the stage on April 25 with their headline U.S. run, the Cheeky Freaky Tour. The tour marks a bold new chapter for the iconic act—one that honors their legacy while delivering a fully realized,

uncompromising live experience rooted in the band’s unmistakable aesthetic and provocative spirit.

Spanning 29 cities across the United States, the Cheeky Freaky Tour is a high-voltage, multi-artist spectacle featuring both headline club dates and major festival appearances,

including Sick New World (April 25, Las Vegas) and Ritual Noize Fest (May 2, Denver). Each night is designed as an immersive, visceral experience—intense, confrontational, and unmistakably LORDS OF ACID.

“For the first time in eight years, there is truly new material,” says Praga Khan, founder and creative force behind LORDS OF ACID. “A new album is coming, and the ‘Cheeky

Freaky Tour’ ushers in a new era for the band, with respect for the past, but with a clear focus on the future.”

The “Cheeky Freaky Tour” is not a nostalgia tour. The tour reaffirms everything LORDS OF ACID have stood for over decades: a fearless, idiosyncratic approach to electronic music, a strong and unapologetic identity, and a live show that confronts, seduces, and surprises.

Led by the current Acid Queen Carla Harvey, LORDS OF ACID deliver a set in which iconic tracks such as “Pussy,”

“I Sit on Acid,” and “Crablouse” seamlessly merge

with new material. The show focuses on tension, dynamics, and presence, without distancing itself from the band’s roots.

The tour—a blend of pounding electronic beats, glam chaos, club culture, and pure attitude—is supported by a carefully curated line-up, each act contributing to the depth of the evening in its own way:

• Dead On A Sunday brings raw, modern gothic energy.

• Princess Superstar is known for sharp lyrics, and a distinctive, club ready

swagger.

• Tony and the Kiki add alternative, fashion-forward pop flair.

• MZ NEON opens the night with pulsating, underground-inspired electronic sounds.

Audiences will also experience the first live introduction to material from the upcoming LORDS OF ACID album, which features appearances from Princess Superstar and

Tony and the Kiki.

Known for decades of boundary-pushing sound and performance, LORDS OF ACID continue to redefine what a live electronic show can be: loud, visual, playful,

and fearless.

EVERFELT RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM STIRRING TO WAKE

American psychedelic groove metal upstarts EverFelt are preparing to unleash their most immersive statement yet with the release of their new album, Stirring to Wake, which was released on December 15, 2025. Thick with hypnotic riffs, swirling atmospheres, and a dark melodic pull, the album channels the spirit of rock’s ancestors while carving a bold, modern path forward.

Drawing influence from the brooding weight of Tool, the haunting harmonies of Alice In Chains, the doom-laced swagger of Black Sabbath, and the mind-expanding mystique of The Doors, EverFelt deliver a sound that feels both familiar and dangerously fresh. Stirring to Wake doesn’t simply nod to these influences—it absorbs them, reshapes them, and pushes them into deeper, heavier territory.

Formed in the summer of 2022, EverFelt is driven by the haunting vocals and introspective lyricism of Adam Steglich, the expressive and textured guitar work of Corey Robinson, the powerful low-end foundation of Ryan Moore on bass, and the dynamic pulse and color of Danny Furlong on percussion. While their roots span everything from Audioslave and Pink Floyd to Slayer, the band’s identity stands firmly on its own—an intoxicating mix of psychedelic textures, groove-driven heaviness, and melodies that linger long after the final note fades.

With Stirring to Wake, EverFelt deepen their commitment to music that resonates beyond the surface. These are songs meant to sink in slowly, blur the edges, and stay with you. It’s an album built not just to be heard, but to be felt—music that crawls under the skin and refuses to let go.

“Music is the cornerstone of our existence,” the band shares. “With Stirring to Wake, we wanted to capture the haze, the heaviness, and the emotion that lives at the core of who we are—and leave a mark on anyone willing to take the journey with us.”

The album was engineered by Shelby Preklas of Loud and Clear Studio, who helped bring clarity, weight, and atmosphere to EverFelt’s evolving sonic vision, striking a balance between raw power and expansive depth.

EverFelt are ready to rise, ready to shake the dust off the underground, and ready to pull listeners fully into the world they’ve been building since day one. Stirring to Wake is not just the next chapter—it’s the moment the band fully comes alive.
