Alternative nu-metal group RA are excited to reveal they have signed a deal with the independent record label Wake Up! Music Rocks and will be releasing their first new album in seven years titled INTERCORRUPTED. The album (release date TBA) will feature the original line-up who earlier this year surprised fans with a performance on the Shiprocked festival cruise, their first time playing together in five years.

The band originated in 1996 in NYC under the vision of vocalist/rhythm guitarist Sahaj Ticotin. The band, rounded out by lead guitarist Ben Carroll, bassist P.J. Farley and drummer Skoota Warner, released their debut album From One in 2002 via Universal Music/Republic Records and have sold over 400,000 albums to date which include chart-topping hit singles “Do You Call My Name” (2002), “Fallen Angels” (2005), “Don’t Turn Away” (2006) and “Broken Hearted Soul” (2008).

“When the idea of bringing back Ra to the current rock scene started to seem like a reality, I knew we needed a few things,” shares Sahaj. “First, it had to be the original lineup. Having Skoota, Ben and Pj on stage with me was imperative. Secondly, we had to find a strategic partner who saw the potential. Not only for new music but for touring and merchandising. After being inactive for the last six years we knew we could not come out again half a**ed. This has to be real. This has to be intense. When Waylon presented the opportunity to work with Wake Up Music and we began the dialogue, it was clear that he and Pepper understood how serious we are about taking this step.”

Sahaj continues to disclose, “In addition to our partnership with FM Music Management, we are proud to announce that we have officially signed with Wake Up Music Rocks in order to create and market the next Ra record currently entitled ‘Intercorrupted.’ We are extremely excited to move forward with this team and have great plans for the end of 2020 and into 2021! Thanks as well to Eric German for legal counsel and raging pep talks. Let’s do this!”

“We are happy to announce that RA has signed to Wake Up! Music Rocks,” adds Wake Up! Music Rocks’ Head of A&R Waylon Reavis. “RA marks our first artist to the label. We felt as a company that signing RA was the best decision and the right band to launch the label. We are very excited to be able to work with such a talented group of artists knowing that they are now a BIG part of the Wake Up! Music Rocks roster. As soon as we heard RA’s new music, we knew right away this was the sound and opportunity we wanted.”

RA‘s manager, Frank Mastalerz of FM Music Management, commented: “We are looking forward to working this new chapter for RA with Wake Up! Music Rocks. Their excitement and belief in the band and their music proved to be an incredible opportunity and one that we are eager to get going with.”

Nordic Folk Band WARDRUNA Debut New Single/Video “Lyfjaberg” (‘Healing-hill’)

REVEAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE

After being forced to postpone the release of their upcoming album KVITRAVN to January 22, 2021 due to extenuating circumstances throughout the world, traditional Nordic folk outfit WARDRUNA decided now was not the time to be silent and headed into the studio to write and record a new song, “Lyfjaberg.” The title translates to English as a ‘healing-hill’ or ‘healing-mountain’ and is known from Norse mythology and the Eddic poem Fjölsvinnsmál as a place of comfort and cure for the sick and sore who manage to climb the mountain and bear offerings at its shrines. WARDRUNA filmed a music video for “Lyfjaberg” that was filmed in the mountains of the island Tustna in Norway. Watch the video now, along with translated lyrics in the description, on YouTube HERE or streaming below.

The band shot the video in early May, when suddenly winter decided to return with full strength, and they ended up wading in half a meter of snow for three days and nights. On many levels, the process of making of this video reflected the meaning of the song itself. They all had to climb a few of their inner mountains to get it done.

“The song expresses that climbing a tough mountain, both in reality and metaphorically, is a mental as well as a physical effort,” shares founding member and composer Einar Selvik. “I have tried to write this journey up the mountain as one for the mind and spirit as much as the feet and body. Anything of true value, comes at a true cost.”

“Lyfjaberg” is available now across all digital platforms. Stream/download it now at: https://wardruna.lnk.to/Lyfjaberg. Pre-order the single on limited 12″ white vinyl at https://wardruna.aisamerch.com/item/90844.

SUNNY OZELL Releases “Not Afraid,” Latest Single From Her ‘Overnight Lows’ Album

DATE: MAY 28, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN

SUNNY OZELL

RELEASES

“NOT AFRAID,”

LATEST SINGLE FROM HER ‘OVERNIGHT LOWS’ ALBUM

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

Singer-songwriter SUNNY OZELL has announced the release of her brand-new single and video for “Not Afraid,” from her recently released second album OVERNIGHT LOWS. Watch the clip here.

The aptly titled new track–marked by its defiant sentiment in the unprecedented situation the world presently finds itself in–espouses a powerful message amidst isolation, fear and the different types of thoughts that creep up and plague us all with worry when we can’t sleep. SUNNY‘s strong personality permeates stand-out production, resolute groove and message of boldness. “Not Afraid” follows the album’s last single “All That I Am,” which debuted earlier this year at AMERICAN SONGWRITER; the video for that track has already garnered more than half a million views.

“I put my record OVERNIGHT LOWS out on February 28 and I had a lot of things ‘on the books’ to promote this album that I’m so fucking proud of,” SUNNY says. “But the planet, or rather, a sub-microscopic pathogen, had other plans.”

“In very short order, the things that truly matter have come into very sharp focus: love, safety, family and friends. I wish health to you and everyone you hold dear. I thought it might be a good time to share ‘Not Afraid,’ another single from my record…it’s appropriately ominous, but triumphant all the same.”

This past weekend, SUNNY was featured, alongside her husband Sir Patrick Stewart, on CBS’ “Sunday Morning.” SUNNY also recently shared her “Church Sessions,” three videos that were filmed at centuries-old churches throughout the UK earlier this year. The clips merge her love of music, history, and travel. Watch the clips here. Next up is a new release, details of which will be announced in the coming weeks.

OVERNIGHT LOWS gleams with engaging melodies and intelligent wordplays, performed with a sophisticated fluency in pop, jazz, soul and Americana dialects. In SUNNY‘s words, OVERNIGHT LOWS reflects the soul and simplicity of her passion for such inspirations as Bonnie Raitt, David Byrne, Cassandra Wilson, and Aretha Franklin. Players on the album include Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant, Aimee Mann, Alison Krauss), Tyler Chester (George Ezra, Maddison Cunningham), Andy Hess (The Black Crowes, David Byrne), Adam Levy (Norah Jones, Roseanne Cash), and Rich Hinman (Sara Bareilles). The album was recorded at Village Studios in Los Angeles, and engineered by Mike Piersante. Listen to the album here.

NEW ALBUM ‘KALIYUGA’

OUT AUGUST 7 VIA UNFD

Australian metalcore outfit IN HEARTS WAKE have teamed up with Polaris vocalist Jamie Hails on their new single and music video “Hellbringer.” The single–out today, May 26–is the third release from the band’s upcoming 100% carbon offset album KALIYUGA due August 7 via UNFD. Watch “Hellbringer” below or stream/download it via your preferred digital platform at https://unfd.lnk.to/kaliyuga.

“Hellbringer” features gleefully wicked guitar licks, mosh-friendly breakdowns and the anthemic choruses IN HEARTS WAKE are known for. The single and its accompanying video jubilantly celebrates the freedom and joy of unbridled heavy music, in defiance of those people who call it ‘the devil’s music’. The band reminds people that they don’t need to take themselves too seriously, as they create a video that parodies the awkwardness of live music streams in the new normal created by COVID-19.

Vocalist Jake Taylor shared how the video’s concept was developed:

“At some of our American shows, extremist groups have picketed outside, telling our fans that they’re ‘going to hell’. If only they knew just how positive the energy inside the venue was! Never judge a book by its cover. So rather than fight hate with hate, we decided to have some fun and lean into the metal stereotype. In 2020 with live streams becoming the new norm, we decided to stage our own hell-bent circus. We thought it would be funny to ask Jamie to dress up as a werewolf, turn me into a vampire and rain blood on the entire band. Guess Halloween came early this year. Thank you Blade.”

In Hearts Wake - Hellbringer ft. Jamie Hails of Polaris [Official Music Video]

“Hellbringer” follows two previously released singles, “Son Of A Witch” and “Worldwide Suicide,” from KALIYUGA which was entirely carbon offset. The band measured every power socket, light bulb, pound of freight, travel and food consumed during the recording process of the record. They found the total carbon footprint came to 26.37 tonnes of CO2e. This has been entirely offset through the purchase of carbon credits in the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor of Western Australia. The album will also be packaged and manufactured plastic free, using recycled materials.

Pre-orders of KALIYUGA are available now at unfdstore.com.

Nordic Folk Outfit WARDRUNA Announce New Single “Lyfjaberg” Out June 5

DT: MAY 26, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH

NORDIC FOLK OUTFIT

WARDRUNA

ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE

“LYFJABERG”

OUT JUNE 5

When circumstances forced Nordic traditional folk outfit WARDRUNA to postpone the release of their upcoming album KVITRAVN via BY NORSE MUSIC in the U.S. and SONY MUSIC / COLUMBIA RECORDS (worldwide excl. U.S.), it was clear to the band that they still wanted to release new music. Music and art can potentially carry great meaning in times of uncertainty so WARDRUNA decided that now was not the time to stay silent and headed straight back into creative mode and the studio to write and record the song “Lyfjaberg.”

The Old Norse word ‘Lyfjaberg’ translates to English as ‘healing-hill’ or ‘healing-mountain’ and is known from Norse mythology and the Eddic poem Fjölsvinnsmál as “a place of comfort and cure for the sick and sore who manage to climb the mountain and bear offerings at the shrines there–a gift demands a gift in return.”

WARDRUNA founding member and composer Einar Selvik comments: “The song expresses that climbing a tough mountain, both in reality and metaphorically, is a mental as well as a physical effort. I have tried to write this journey up the mountain as one for the mind and spirit as much as the feet and body. Anything of true value, comes at a true cost.”

“Lyfjaberg” will be available on all digital platforms on Friday, June 5.

LA Alt Rock Group SONS OF SILVER Share New Track “Quarantined In California”

DT: MAY 22, 2020

FM: MARCEE RONDAN/KELLY WALSH

LOS ANGELES ALT ROCK GROUP

SONS OF SILVER

SHARE NEW TRACK

“QUARANTINED IN CALIFORNIA“

SONG WAS WRITTEN AND RECORDED REMOTELY

AMIDST WORLDWIDE CORANIVIRUS PANDEMIC

WATCH HERE

Los Angeles alternative rock group SONS OF SILVER were in the midst of preparing for the release of their upcoming EP when the global coronavirus pandemic brought everything to a quick halt. The result, a new track and video for “Quarantined in California” which has already garnered 68,700 views on YouTube. The band–Peter Argyropoulos: vocals, guitar, Brina Kabler: keys, vocals, Kevin Haaland: lead guitar, Adam Kury: bass, Dave Krusen: drums– wrote, recorded and filmed all from their homes throughout Southern California. Watch the video HERE.

“It’s one of those classic stories of a song that pops into your head in the middle of the night,” Peter Argyropoulos says. “I made a quick recording on my phone, sent it to the band and, the next thing I know, everyone’s recording their parts at home. Dave tracked his drums and sent them to Adam. Adam tracked his bass and sent everything to Kevin. Kevin did the guitars and sent all the tracks back to Brina and I. We did the vocals and mixed it and that was that. To be honest, I wasn’t sure we’d even release it, but Kevin’s guitars gave what was otherwise a campfire song, some Social Distortion-like edge. The video was frosting on the cake because we had no plan other than ‘have fun with it’ and, because of that, it genuinely captures each of our personalities. Shot on our iPhones, one take for each of us. The edit is raw because it suits the approach and the times. And no, the part where I push Brina away when I sing ‘social distance long at last’ wasn’t planned, but she did a good job of playing along.”

With their forthcoming EP Rude Awakenings (details of which will be announced soon), SONS OF SILVER carries on the rock ‘n’ roll tradition that stirs up dialogue and discourse, with rip-roaring riffs, bluesy rhythms and provocatively poetic lyrics. Under the previous name of Peter RG, the group built a catalog of two EPS–Lightning Strikes [2016] and Reaching for the Moon [2016]–and the 2017 full-length Tender Souls. Recharged as SONS OF SILVER in 2019, they served up the singles “Never Enough” and “Down.”
