WATCH the lyric video below:

Fueled by an insatiable urge to create and collaborate, this heavy metal incarnation seeks to challenge all that they believe to be true with their project, Disciples of Verity (DOV). The band features heavy-hitters such as Corey Glover (Living Colour), Corey Pierce (God Forbid), George Pond (Negative Sky, Swim The Current), Mark Monjoy (Sekond Skyn), and Zack Miranowic (Sekond Skyn, Riversend). This all-star band unleashes an onslaught to the senses with a new sound that can only be described as “a new breed of crossover Metal.”

The band formed just over four years ago after mutual projects brought the five members together. With Pond as the common denominator, having played with each of these artists throughout his career, his songs with Corey Glover were quickly embraced by the others, which evolved into their debut album, Pragmatic Sanction.

Over the next eight months, DOV feverishly cranked out eight heavy, hook-laden songs with one distinct element—their infectious, melodic grooves. Ranging from Hardcore, Metalcore and even Active Rock, the band knew that their debut would be like nothing else in the industry and brought in a veritable “who’s who” of the hard rock and metal industry to up the ante.

Four years have passed since the release of their first single from Pragmatic Sanction. However, now comes the dawn of a new age. They have been quietly working on 12 new tracks for their sophomore album titled NEXUS. The band worked with producer Sahaj Ticcotin, who has worked with Starset, Motley Crue, RA, Bad Wolves, and many more.This monster of a record is set to be released in 2025 through TLG/ZOID, and distributed through Virgin Music Group.

Disciples of Verity:

Corey Glover (Living Colour) – Vocals

Corey Pierce (God Forbid) - Drums

George Pond (Swim The Current, Negative Sky)- Bass

Rock Band Swim the Current Release New Single "Storylines" via TLG|ZOID

May 31, 2025

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

STREAM "Storylines"

https://ffm.to/stc-storylines

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, and a FUCK YOU 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 lied .”

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 Lyric Video Directed by Tom Flynn for "Storylines" Below:

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!

Celtic Rockers 1916 Release New Single "The Mollies" via TLG|ROCK

March 17, 2025

Celtic rock band 1916 has just unleashed their new single, “The Mollies,” available now via TLG | ROCK, distributed by Virgin Music Group. The track marks the first taste of the band’s forthcoming album. Produced by the acclaimed Ted Hutt, “The Mollies” comes to life with an infectious energy reminiscent of the early days of Celtic punk.

Frontman Billy Herring shares, "This new song is not only super catchy, but it's super personal as well. Basically it's a story told to me by my grandfather when I was young. So there's this family connection that makes songs like these so great to listen to on a very basic level. Our producer Ted loved this song right from the jump and we are all stoked that this is going to be our first single!"

"Reminding me of the spirit of early days of Flogging Molly, it was a total blast working with Billy and the gang at the magical Sonic Ranch Studios in El Paso, TX. Irish whiskey, history lessons, stories, and vintage guitars were the backdrop for the sessions that became the new 1916 album. There was a first for me too, which was the challenge of recording a massive Celtic war pipe," says Ted Hutt, the band's Producer.

“The Mollies” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

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.

1916 is:
Billy Herring - Lead Vocals/Guitar/Banjo

Ryan Hurley - Upright Bass/Back-Up Vocals

Chad Paetznick - Drums

Sam Sarratori - Accordion/ Sunday Sauce

Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne Chart A Brand New Top 10 Single with "Gods of Rock N Roll"

March 3, 2025

As reported by Forbes, the single debuts on two additional Billboard charts this time around."This week, 'Gods of Rock and Roll' debuts highest on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart. On that list, Billboard’s ranking of the bestselling tunes that fit perfectly under the hard rock label, the single opens at No. 5," says Forbes Senior Contributor, Hugh McIntyre. He adds, "'Gods of Rock and Roll' is also new to the Hot Hard Rock Songs chart. That list takes into account all forms of consumption — sales, streams, and airplay. On the ranking, the single blasts in at No. 12."

The song is already a Top 20 Billboard Mainstream Rock hit coming in at #16 this week!!

“Ozzy and I have breathed new life into what we always felt was a huge song. GODS OF ROCK N ROLL was written ten years ago in a South American hotel room, but with this re-recording we both feel we have finally made the song what it was always meant to be - a huge emotive ballad," says Morrison.

He adds, “A huge portion of the song was completely re-recorded, the 61 piece Budapest Scoring Orchestra recorded the orchestral score composed by Fred Coury, and then the John Burroughs High School choir were added. Barry Pointer had the unenviable task of mixing 132 tracks and he did an incredible job. The end result is what happens when Ozzy Osbourne makes some suggestions, and Billy Morrison listens!”

The orchestral score was composed and arranged by Fred Coury, and the song was mixed by Barry Pointer and mastered by David Donnelly. The recording features the renowned Budapest Scoring Orchestra. ”Gods of Rock N Roll" showcases the talents of Billy Morrison on guitar, Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, and Steve Stevens on lead guitar.

The deluxe edition features six previously unreleased bonus tracks, including "Gods of Rock N Roll." There is also a “stripped down” mix of just the orchestra and Ozzy that will be available soon.

Morrison explains, “I have always wanted the opportunity to do an expanded, 'Deluxe' version of a record. It’s basically where you get to have some fun, remix some things, and include songs that mean something personal. Thanks to the guys at TLG ZOID, I have been given that opportunity! So to have YOUTH from KILLING JOKE actually mix an amazing dub version of We Are The Dead, to have JEFF LANE throw down an incredibly different remix of Crack Cocaine, and to have my track with Cypress Hill all on the extra disc is just a fantastic feeling! Plus I got the opportunity to remix Dystopia myself and did the whole half-time vibe that I was originally playing with, back when I wrote it."

The video premiered worldwide on Kerrang! today!

Morrison states, "Having the opportunity to include everyone that was involved in the making of Gods of Rock ‘n’ Roll and shoot it all for the video at NRG Studios was a dream come true for me. It was an amazing vibe, Ivo the Director captured the intimacy, and the fun that we had, and I believe the video truly represents the spirit of the song that Ozzy and I wrote. It’s wide reaching, cinematic and shows just how amazing Ozzy is to work with. I’m honored to be putting this out into the world."

Ozzy told Kerrang!, “Billy and I wrote GODS OF ROCK N ROLL together in a hotel room while I was touring in South America about 10 years ago. This re-recorded version of the song finally has all the bells and whistles. I told Billy then that it needed an orchestra and a choir, but it took 10 FUCKING YEARS for him to listen to me."

Smile Empty Soul Release New Single "Violence" via TLG|ZOID

January 24, 2025

Alt-rock veterans Smile Empty Soul have unveiled the fifth single, "Violence" from their upcoming EP, Swan Song, which is scheduled for release digitally on 2/28/25 and on vinyl/CD 4/11/25 through TLG|ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Group.

"'Violence' is a song about the many toxic relationships that occur in our society. They seem to be everywhere, be it in the home, the streets, or even the relationship between the people and the government. It’s inescapable," says Sean Danielsen.

The song was written and produced by Sean Danielsen, engineered by Brian Scheffer, mixed and mastered by Eddie Wohl.

https://ffm.to/smileemptysoul-violence

WATCH "Violence" (official lyric video):below

SMILE EMPTY SOUL is a hard rock band that originated in Los Angeles, CA in the late 1990’s and has stayed true to their brand of “no bullshit”, “real as it gets” hard rock to this day. The band signed a major label record deal in 2003 to release their self-titled debut album in May of that year. They realized huge success at alternative radio, rock radio, and the music video channels that have since fallen by the wayside or turned into reality show networks.

After 3 very successful singles/videos and a gold record from the debut release, the band ran into trouble with their record company (which was in the midst of turmoil at the top levels) and found themselves working extra hard in the trenches, and signed to indie labels or no label at all from then on.

This would become SMILE EMPTY SOUL’s destiny, as they have gone on to release many more albums and EP’s on various labels, as well as their own company “smile empty music inc”. The band released their 9th full length record Black Pilled on October 12th of 2021 completely on their own.

“Smile” has become known for its constant touring and never wavering honest sound/lyrics. They’ve never changed for anybody, and turned down many opportunities to “sell out” because it’s not who they are.

With a new album, and just as much drive as they had starting out 20 years ago, this band looks to continue to build on the legacy they’ve created as one of the hardest working, and most underrated bands in rock and roll.

The band has recently partnered with TLG|ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Groupto release new music. Denny Sanders (The Label Group) and Sean Danielsenpreviously partnered on the successful release of Consciousness. Released in 2009 the record has become second only to the band's debut release in popularity.

Lovella Unveils Heartfelt New EP: Our Christmas Prayer

November 30, 2024

Emerging musical duo Lovella, composed of Josh and Merisa, are spreading holiday cheer with the release of their beautifully crafted EP, Our Christmas Prayer. This collection of timeless Christmas classics showcases the duo's angelic harmonies and heartfelt interpretations, making it the perfect soundtrack for the holiday season. The EP is available now through TLG, distributed by Virgin Music Group.

Reflecting on their journey as artists and partners, Josh and Merisa shared:

“When we got together there was this instantaneous connection that neither one of us expected to find and when we first started hanging out it was like we had been friends for years. We started Lovella a little after we started dating and quickly noticed that becoming a duo went hand in hand with starting a new relationship. We had to build trust, a respect for each other’s creative voices, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to laugh at ourselves and at each other, to cry, allow each other to be mad and not take it personally and to appreciate how passionate we are about the music we create. Being a duo has had its own set of growing pains but experiencing and navigating these two relationships simultaneously has made both relationships stronger. That is the heart of our music. It is everything we’ve experienced; it is everything our families and friends have experienced. Our songs allow us to relive a moment and we love sharing that with you and hopefully no matter where someone is in their life, our music, our stories will resonate with all of you listening.“

STREAM "Our Christmas Prayer"

https://tlgent.ffm.to/our-christmas-prayer

For Josh and Merisa, the holidays hold a special significance. They explain:

"Since we've been together, like any couple you carry old traditions into your relationship and make new ones. Our special tradition together is singing Christmas songs! Singing these timeless hymns fills our hearts and always makes us feel a little closer with God during the holiday! We wanted to share a few of our favorites with you! Thank you for listening to us lend our voices to these Christmas classics! We hope you, your friends and family have the most beautiful holiday!"

THEM GUNS Release New Single "Acid Plane" + Music Video via TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

August 1, 2024

THEM GUNS have unveiled their latest single, "Acid Plane," accompanied by a visually captivating music video, through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

"'Acid Plane' is about getting on a plane right before a worldwide nuclear disaster. The only survivors are the people who were aboard airplanes at the time of the incident. When they make it to their destination, they arrive to a completely different existence," explains Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, the band's lead singer and guitarist.

Denny Sanders of TLG|ZOID shares, "I'm happy to say Them Guns are back with The Label Group."

Brilliance does not happen overnight. THEM GUNS, a synth rock band with dance evoking progressive sound have managed to sustain not only their unique array of high quality musical content, but also embodies a much deeper bond; a friendship in fact. A long time friendship that formed as far back as the mid 1980’s, when two of the band members had a chance meeting as kids. Based in Los Angeles, the band has performed in venues across the globe amassing new fans at every stop.

Between the band’s charismatic lead singer / guitarist Navarone Garibaldi Garcia, and iconic multi-instrumentalist Kyle Hamood, there was chemistry between these two California natives from the very start. Their fate began as young boys where they met in a pool, while on holiday in Hawaii. They had no idea this chance meeting would lead a convergence of talents, blossoming from friendship to a fantastical band 20 years later. That recipe would not be complete without two additional ingredients, astounding bass player, Chuck Holiday and explosive drummer, Chris Hudson, both California natives. Together this revolutionary foursome have formed, along with their own unique influences, what the world now knows as THEM GUNS.

The connection between band members runs deep. Chance happenings frequently occur amongst these guys; such as Navarone having an idea one night when lyrics came to him in a dream for a song. The same night he wrote them down, Kyle had an idea for a melody to a song. Neither knew the others idea until the following day when it was mentioned on the phone. Kyle and Chuck played the melody to Navarone’s lyrics, and magic happened. The sound fit perfectly to the words.

Whether coincidence or deeper connection, their dynamic spirit continues to create a variety of ever evolving and alluringly progressive sounds. Their unique eclectic styles can be deemed a blend of influences churning out fan favorites including “Fireworks,” “Horoscope,” “Somebody Called the Cops,” “Devil’s Eye,” Shot in the Dark” and their most recent release “Acid Plane” are all perfectly orchestrated, influential and cinematic.

THEM GUNS have succeeded in forming a loyal following with sellout performances across the globe, amassing fans of kin along the way. Tens of thousands of fans repeatedly stream their music videos. The band’s fan base is one of the most loyal and stretch across the U.S., South America, Europe and Canada. They’ve played venues across the country including the West Coast, SXSW, the U.K and South America. The band is currently signed with powerhouse record label, TLG/Zoid, thru Virgin Music. Them Guns is best described as a musical prodigy about to conquer the world. The year 2024 will include new tour dates, new singles, and an upcoming album. Fans can subscribe to all the latest news about Them Guns by joining any of their social media platforms.

Rock Band Swim the Current Release Cover of Koe Wetzel's Single "So Low" via TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group

April 16, 2024

Swim the Current, the electrifying rock band featuring Greg Antine, Marcos Leal (Ill Nino), George Pond (Disciples of Verity), Chris Moore (George Lynch, Autograph) and Joe Gareri, has just unveiled their latest single. The band's rendition of Koe Wetzel's hit track, "So Low," is now available for fans to stream and enjoy, released through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

Swim the Current has injected their signature energy into "So Low," infusing it with their unique style and musical prowess. With this cover, the band offers a fresh perspective on the original song.

Marcos Leal talks about the single, “Anyone that knows me knows I am a true country boy at heart, from my cowboy boots to my down home roots. I’ve always wanted to do something country, but mixed with my style and some fuckin metal!"

"'So Low' is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite artists of all time, Koe Wetzel. It embodies all the feelings I felt going through one of the most painful losses of my life, losing my dad Joe Leal. Its a testament to those who have lost someone so close and still found the courage to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and keep going even when you have nothing left. I'm so low it’s fuckin awesome. This one is for you dad, rest in peace!”

To complement the release, Swim the Current has premiered the official music video for "So Low."

WATCH the Video Below

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.

Tzarina Unveil Self Titled Album via TLG/Virgin Music Group

March 24, 2024

The dynamic post-hardcore band Tzarina has unleashed their self-titled album through TLG/Virgin Music Group. Helmed by the visionary songwriter Craig William, this musical saga is a riveting journey that pushes the boundaries of post-hardcore, leaving an indelible mark on the genre.

The sonic landscape of Tzarina's self-titled album is meticulously crafted, thanks to the combined efforts of Nick Bellmore at Dexters Lab Recording and Craig William at ABQ Studios. The production, engineering, mixing, and mastering was done by Nick Bellmore and reflects a commitment to sonic excellence.

Immerse yourself in the powerful soundscape as Tzarina pushes musical boundaries with their compelling release. The band held their album release show at the iconic Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn, NY on March 20, 2024.

For songwriter Craig William, the crux of the musical endeavor powered by the band Tzarina has always been to explore the more ethereal themes evident in the mixture of metal, post-rock and post-hardcore genres expressed in their music. This is evident in Tzarina's trail of singles, which have been seeing their release since October of 2020.

It has been almost two years since the full LP was recorded, so they are slated to release their first complete work later this year. This has been a long-awaited moment for the band, who have been hard at work perfecting their sound and experimenting with various elements of their live performance.

Tzarina is composed of Craig William on vocals and guitar, Mark Ayesh on guitar and backup vocals, Robert Scott Abrams on drums, and Michael Forsyth on bass. With the constraints resulting from the COVID pandemic, the band was forced to have a bit more of a DIY ethic, with William handling the brunt of the songwriting, and recording, while in isolation. This did not stop the rest of the members from contributing where they could and the result is nothing short of a sound that is distinctly their own.

This is a group that takes great pride in its artistry, and it shows in the level of care put into every aspect of its music. It is this dedication that has allowed them to continue to evolve and grow as artists.

They are known for their aggressive live shows juxtaposed with beautifully textured music and thought-provoking lyrics that explore the human experience. With heavy, driving riffs and powerful vocals, Tzarina is poised to become one of the most exciting acts coming up in the Brooklyn area.

Tzarina is a band that is constantly striving to push themselves creatively, and they show no signs of slowing down any time soon. With a new album on the horizon and an ever-growing live show, there is much to be seen and heard from this talented group of musicians. Whether you're a post-hardcore fan or just appreciate great music in general, Tzarina is definitely a band to keep your eye on.
