Thoughts in the Mind of God Release New Single "Wicked" + Music Video ​   

The dynamic musical duo, thoughts in the mind of god, comprised of Landon Tewers (The Plot in You) and David Gunn (KING 810), has released their highly anticipated new single, "Wicked." The single is now available on all major streaming platforms.
 

"Wicked" captures the raw, unrelenting energy and dark poeticism that fans of both artists have come to expect. The song pushes boundaries, inviting listeners into a world that is as compelling as it is chaotic.

Fans of both The Plot in You and KING 810 will recognize the signature elements of each artist’s style while experiencing something entirely unique to thoughts in the mind of god.

 

"God thought of the heavens and the earth and they came to be. God thought of trees and vegetation and they came to be. God thought of mankind and they came to be. There amongst these kind of men were two of the most peculiar thoughts God had on that day & when these peculiar thoughts begin to think their own thoughts well that is precisely where we find ourselves now."

WICKED ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, “GORGEOUS," AND US TOUR WITH RAVEN STARTS MARCH 24TH, 2024

One of today's most theatrical rockers, Wicked, has announced that February 2nd will mark the release of their newest single and video, "Gorgeous" – taken from the group's upcoming full-length, 'Sunburn.' 
 
As part of the band's cross country road trip from NY to California, the video shoot for "Gorgeous" landed singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar in the LA Barbie dream house owned by Vogue photographer Jaime Nelson. The song touches on the relatable heart string of eternal lasting love after a love-lost break up and all the confusion that goes along with it.
 
The single can be pre-saved via lnk.to/gorgeouspresave, while the video can be viewed below.
 
The clip sees actress/model Megan Davison revisiting boyfriends haunting her from the past and all of their character flaws. Watch and see who was the worst boyfriend and what she does to move on from a love-lost with each member of the band! 
 
"These boys are like working with a pack of squirrels, yet this was the coolest project I've ever done and I'm so happy I stopped at their house and nominated myself to star in the video" - Megan Davison
 
And all four band members are overjoyed with how "Gorgeous" the video came out…
 
"I like how our characters are sadistically so similar to our own personalities...can you tell?!" - Danny 
 
"I could just quit it all and stay to be Jamie Nelson's pool boy. God she is incredible." - Chad Michael 
 
"Wait till the haters hear this song! Their heads are going to explode when they realize this isn't another Guns N' Roses wannabe tune. I hope it makes them uncomfortable!" - Gunnar 
 
"Megan says I'm a pain in the ass, but I'm a rockstar! What do you expect? Who is the real star of this show?!" - Scotty V
 
Also, Wicked just returned from Tampa, FL after playing in front of 400k people at Gasparilla on the Voodoo Chef / Monster Energy Float! "The only thing better than partying at Gasparilla on a sunny 80 degree day in January, is getting to debut our latest single 'Gorgeous' to seas of people along the parade route!" - Chad Michael

Additionally, Wicked will be joining forces with Raven (who were one of the leaders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, that also spawned Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and Saxon)  for a string of dates in spring 2024 – of which one of the highlights of their live set will undoubtedly be "Gorgeous"!

WICKED ANNOUNCE US TOUR WITH BRITISH METAL GREATS RAVEN

Modern-day melodic/theatrical rockers Wicked will be joining forces with Raven (who were part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement that also spawned Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and Saxon)  for a string of dates in spring 2024. Although Wicked – which is comprised of singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar – will not be part of all the dates (which also includes sets by Vicious Rumors and Lutharo), they are confirmed for nine performances, with more to be announced in January.
 
The group will be touring in support of their newest album, 'Sunburn,' which the band describes as "A deliberate e-brake in our music and state of the band. After years of doing 80 mph in a 30 with no hands on the wheel, we decided there was so much more to what we had to share musically. Produced by 10-time Grammy winner Ignacio Molino, released through The Orchard and accompanied by 5 singles / videos, the album bares an authentic reflection on the highs and lows of being in a relentlessly hard-working rock band with all the euphoria and pain along the way."
 
"We looked inside for inspiration and made an album for us and not anyone else. Don’t miss the blend of inspirations from Third Eye Blind to Thin Lizzy and everything in between, the personified characters from each single like the 'Gorgeous' robot girl, and the cinematic destination music videos. Before you know it, you’ll be 'living like a Sunburn!'”
 
The band's latest single/video is for the title track, which can be viewed below.

And next step for Wicked are the string of what will undoubtedly be kick ass live performances with Raven. 
 
"We are poised to drop our upcoming album 'Sunburn,' and there is no better way than supporting it by joining our friends in Raven for a North American Tour with our brand of high energy rock n' roll!" - Danny
 
“From growing up with Raven always around hanging with my family to being able to share multiple stages with them is an awesome achievement!” - Gunnar 
 
"We have played a few one off shows with Raven, and man, these guys are wild... I can only imagine what kinda trouble we will get into with a full-on tour!" - Scotty V
 
"You bet your ass we are ready to cut our teeth and hit the road with the boys in Raven! All hell's breaking loose over America and there is nothing more WICKED than the live show we have in store for you all!" - Chad Michael 

CONFIRMED DATES:
3.24 NEW ORLEANS, LA SOUTHPORT MUSIC HALL
3.29 AUSTIN, TX LOST WELL
3.30 SAN ANTONIO, TX FITZGERALD'S
4.02 LOS ANGELES, CA WHISKY A GO GO
4.03 SAN FRANCISCO, CA DNA LOUNGE

WICKED TO UNVEIL LATEST SINGLE/VIDEO – THE TITLE TRACK FROM FROM 'SUNBURN' AT UPCOMING LIVE STREAM

Modern-day melodic/theatrical rockers Wicked are back with the latest single/video from their new album – which turns out to be its title track, 'Sunburn.' The band (singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar) are especially proud of the clip, which captures a 38-hour coast-to-coast drive, with its destination being Joshua Tree, CA. Directed and filmed by Longwood Media Group, the clip also stars actresses Chelsea "Cherry Baby" Anzalone and Kayla Balfe, and can be viewed via this link: https://youtu.be/FehNxak6ljE
 
As the band explains, "The second single off the upcoming sophomore album  'Sunburn' gives the vibe of that saying, 'too much of a good thing,' and is accompanied by footage from our cross-country escape to California. We drove 38 hours straight in the band van from coast to coast, facing all the surprises old Route 66 had to offer – from storms to vehicle breakdowns and all the new faces we got to meet. From Cali beaches to the Joshua Tree desert, we brought our rock n' roll party and burnt the candle at both ends. It was a perfect way to live out the metaphorical meaning of 'Sunburn' is a song about excess and its repercussions. Don’t miss what happens to the band in our music video after we invite these rock n' roll ladies to our desert getaway!" 
 
And musically, Wicked describes "Sunburn" as "A punchy, punishing rocker, with sharpened punk edges and lyrical prowess that could have easily been played at an aggressive Michael Monroe show on the Lower East Side, or on MTV in the 90s by a band like Third Eye Blind. In 2023 it’s born with one purpose and that’s to fly the flag of that unapologetic Rock N Roll lifestyle and be your next summer anthem!"
 
Additionally, Wicked will be taking part in a livestream interactive release show dubbed "The Rock N Roll Circus Show" on December 8, 2023 at 8pm, which will be the kickoff of the series of this rock n' roll variety show. The live streamed show will focus on the "Sunburn" single, but also featuring performances, behind the scenes footage, live interactions with the band, giveaways, and more, via this link: https://youtube.com/@WICKEDROCKNROLL?si=mVBzRSnoNyqD8NOb

“What else are you going to do in the dead of Winter? Might as well get geared up for next summer with this party anthem” - Gunnar  
 
“Sunburn puts the fun back in rock n' roll. Top down, swimsuit on or off, it's always summer somewhere” - Chad Michael  
 
“When you know it's going to be trouble but that's exactly the reason you want it so bad.” - Danny 
 
“Here's another peak into the hottest rock n' roll album you've ever heard. Take a rip and let this single burn!” - Scotty V

WICKED TO UNLEASH "LOST IN THE DARK" SINGLE/VIDEO FROM FORTHCOMING 'SUNBURN' ALBUM

One of today's most theatrical rockers, Wicked, has announced the release of their newest album, 'Sunburn,’ to be released in March of 2024. And the band (singer/guitarist Chad Michael, guitarist Scotty V, bassist Danny, and drummer Gunnar) is especially pleased with their latest effort, as they explained in the statement: 
 
"The new album 'Sunburn' is a deliberate e-brake in our music and state of the band. After years of doing 80 mph in a 30 with no hands on the wheel, we decided there was so much more to what we had to share musically. Produced by 10-time Grammy winner Ignacio Molino, released through The Orchard and accompanied by 5 singles / videos, the album bares an authentic reflection on the highs and lows of being in a relentlessly hard-working rock band with all the euphoria and pain along the way. We looked inside for inspiration and made an album for us and not anyone else. Don’t miss the blend of inspirations from Third Eye Blind to Thin Lizzy and everything in between, the personified characters from each single like the 'Gorgeous' robot girl, and the cinematic destination music videos. Before you know it, you’ll be 'living like a Sunburn!'”
 
The striking video for one of the album's highlights, "Lost in the Dark," was directed and filmed by Longwood Media Group in Salem, MA, and features Salem’s premier Occult Shop “Hermetic Arts” and owner / ceremonial magician David Newman. The clip also stars actress Kelly Monteiro, and depicts a story of love and passion found and lost in one of the most magical cities. 
 
The video can be viewed below, while the single can be purchased or streamed via https://lnk.to/lostinthedarkpresave

The song itself is the first single off the upcoming sophomore album, 'Sunburn.' The song kicks off the band’s new release pulling from influences like Boston, Thin Lizzy, Toto, and Third Eye Blind. A melodic hard rock song about “the good girl gone bad” who’s shrouded in the dark arts and that type of “I can fix you” relationship.  A song that should be cranked up to 11 as you roll up to that tailgate, windows down, smoke billowing, on that I’m looking for trouble kinda night. Fuel injected with passion, urgency, and power like any good cocktail mix of cannon-like drums, harmonizing guitars, lustful lyrics, and fiery vocals.
 
“When magic and romance meet in a hard rock power pop tune” - Chad Michael 
 
“The lyrics paint just the right picture of that girl who is trouble, but you just can’t get enough of” - Danny  
 
“Some chick inspired a sexy, passionate song, which inspired an even sexier video, and that inspires me” - Scotty V
 
“I can’t believe it’s actually happening!” - Gunnar
