I’m especially excited to bring our friends in Infected Rain and Stitched Up Heart along for the ride. This will without a doubt be a DO-NOT-MISS tour with some of the fiercest ladies in metal!”

“After almost a year and a half of dark stages, we are so thrilled to be going back out on the road,” shares HARVEY. “I cannot wait for that first electric moment in front of a live crowd again, celebrating the return of music together! I expect lots of happy tears in the mosh pit on this run. Making the return even sweeter, we’re bringing along some of our favorite women in metal. This is our first female fronted tour package in the United States, a display of girl power at its finest!”

As dream-folk singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist JEREMY SQUIRES prepares to release his 11^th studio album UNRAVEL—due out July 30 via the California-based Blackbird Record Label—he today (July 8) has unveiled the stirring video for new single “Diminish” which taps into his varied influences (including The Cure). Watch the atmospheric video featuring locations he frequents in his hometown of New Bern, North Carolina here. The single will be available tomorrow (July 9) at all streaming platforms.

“For me ‘Diminish’ represents change and finding beauty in unlikely places both literally and metaphorically,” shares SQUIRES.

He goes on to explain how the video came about and relates to the song, stating: “Photography is a passion for me, and I was photographing abandoned houses and structures around NC. While photographing I felt inspired to film these places. I found beauty and sadness in what some people might see as ugly or decrepit. Most of these places are hidden from plain view and I found peace and solace filming this video while some places I drive past every day, and I wanted them to be seen the way I see them… as hauntingly beautiful.”

https://smithmusic.ffm.to/jeremysquires_unravel.

CD’s and merch bundles will be offered exclusively via Bandcamp here: https://jeremysquires.bandcamp.com/merch.

Marking his most intimate and personal material to date, UNRAVEL’s 10 tracks merge distinctive songcraft with deeply felt vocals and musical performances that aim for the head and the heart. Written following the loss of his grandmother (who raised him), SQUIRES experiments with new instruments—writing his first-ever song on bass—and influences by building tracks with friends such as Erin Tate (ex-Minus The Bear) while somehow maintaining to effortlessly weave each track into a cohesive statement.

“When I listened back to this album, it seems like you can really see and feel what I was talking or singing about…it’s like a story,” he shares. “Lyrically it seems more in-depth. There’s something about this album that is more dreamy. I can see where it’s definitely different than anything that I’ve released.”

On the album’s artwork—illustrated by Kelley Wills/Brain Flower Designs—which can be seen featured below, SQUIRES explains, “For me swans are extremely significant as they are a symbol of grace, beauty and loyalty. Two swans (a pair) represent soulmates to me and the depth of a soul in general.”

Folk Artist/Multi-Instrumentalist JEREMY SQUIRES Announces New Album ‘Unravel’ Out 7/30

DT: MAY 24, 2021

FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER, KELLY WALSH / SRO PR

FOLK ARTIST/MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
JEREMY SQUIRES
ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM
‘UNRAVEL’
OUT JULY 30 VIA BLACKBIRD RECORD LABEL

SHARES INTIMATE MUSIC VIDEO/SINGLE
“ONLY IN MY DREAMS”
FILMED ACROSS HOMETOWN OF RURAL NORTH CAROLINA

UNRAVEL Cover Artwork by Kelley Wills (Brainflower Designs)

Adventurous folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JEREMY SQUIRES will release his 11^th full-length album UNRAVEL on July 30 via Blackbird Record Label. It was written following the loss of his grandmother (who raised him) and two tracks were recorded in her home as a way of saying goodbye, making this his most intimate and personal material to date. UNRAVEL’s 10 tracks merge distinctive songcraft with deeply felt vocals and musical performances that aim for the head and the heart.

SQUIRES has shared its haunting and evocative debut single “Only In My Dreams”—released across digital platforms last Friday, May 21–with a music video that provides an introspective look at SQUIRES’ daily life filmed at various locations around his hometown of rural North Carolina. Watch the video below or on VEVO HERE. Stream “Only In My Dreams” here: https://smithmusic.ffm.to/jeremysquires_onlyinmydreams

“‘Only In My Dreams’ is an escape from reality but at the same time is a recollection of a specific moment in my life that I tried to portray in vivid detail,” SQUIRES says. “I wanted to bring the listener into that moment and share how different feelings can manifest and I wanted to expand on that.”

““I do a lot of driving through rural North Carolina,” he explains. “I always have my cameras and my phone on me and I get inspired by colors, country scenery, textures, the water, the sky, etc. The imagery in this video is of places that I frequent in my hometown, in surrounding counties and in my own backyard. I wanted to capture the dreamlike aspect of these beautiful places and I feel that it flowed with the song.”

Music and family has always been central to SQUIRES’ story from the start. When he was 11, his grandmother bought him an acoustic guitar in an antique store. He played and toured with punk bands as a young adult, until his son was born in 2001. His songwriting began to blossom–as heard on his first two albums originally released in 2012 (A Place to Hide and In the Dark) which he remastered and released during the pandemic. His music reflects his experiences of being diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD and the trauma he’s endured throughout his life including losing his mother to opioid addiction and passing on his mental health issues to his son.

“My granny was the foundation of our family, and because my mom, my dad and my grandparents have all passed away, she was the last thing I had really,” reveals SQUIRES. “When she passed away, I felt like things were unraveling, but unraveling isn’t just a negative thing. It could be something unraveling into something beautiful, like a different story is about to start, or another chapter. For me I felt like things were going to fall apart, and then everything was OK in the end.”

On UNRAVEL, SQUIRES experiments with new instruments—writing his first ever song on bass—and influences by building tracks with friends such as Erin Tate (ex-Minus The Bear) while somehow maintaining to effortlessly weave each track into a cohesive statement. “When I listened back to this album, it seems like you can really see and feel what I was talking or singing about…it’s like a story,” he shares. “Lyrically it seems more in-depth. There’s something about this album that is more dreamy. I can see where it’s definitely different than anything that I’ve released.”

Rap/Rock Outfit REDDSTAR Release Debut Single/Music Video “STFU”

DATE: MAY 24, 2021

FROM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

RAP/ROCK OUTFIT
REDDSTAR
REVEAL DEBUT SINGLE/MUSIC VIDEO
“STFU”
OUT NOW VIA BLOOD BLAST DISTRIBUTION

BAND ANNOUNCED AS SUPPORT FOR AUGUST TOUR WITH RA

WATCH HERE

Newly formed outfit REDDSTAR introduce themselves with energetic and catchy mainstream rock anthems blended with rap undertones on their debut single “STFU,” recorded by Sahaj Ticotin (RA, Motley Crue, Starset). The single will be featured on their debut EP due out later this year. The band premiered its music video via V13 last week along with announcing an upcoming support slot with Ticotin’s band RA this August (dates listed below).The “STFU” was filmed at MixOne Soundstage while being directed remotely by Brian Cox (Bring Me The Horizon, Hollywood Undead) who was stuck at home in London due to the pandemic.

Drummer Mikey Lopez (ex-9Electric) details their experience making the video stating, “Filming the video for STFU was a great experience. Due to covid travel restrictions, our director, Brian Cox, had to lead us via Zoom from his home in London. Being told ‘try it again…with more sexy face’ through a laptop is just as cool as it sounds!”

“In a world where everyone’s so opinionated, people just need to learn how to shut the f*ck up sometimes,” declares vocalist Daemien Drake. “This is our reminder.”

Stream “STFU” now via Blood Blast Distribution across all digital streaming platforms here: https://backl.ink/146082183

Rounded out by bassist Erik Tisinger and drummer Russell Ray, REDDSTAR was formed in January of 2020 just before the pandemic hit. Refusing to be deterred by the halt of the industry, the band, who are located across three states (California, New Jersey and Florida), travelled to Fort Wayne, IN in late May to record their debut EP with Ticotin. Whatever obstacle stands in their way, whether location, time, or even a global pandemic, REDDSTAR have put their collective heads down and relentlessly powered through it. For many, 2020 was understandably a bad year but for REDDSTAR it was about rebirth and triumphing in the face of adversity.

REDDSTAR TOUR DATES

8/20 – Madison, WI @ The Annex
8/21 – Fort Wayne, IN @ Pierre’s
8/22 – Joliet, IL @ The Forge

Stream/download VERSATILE now at https://www.popevil-versatile.com/. A CD version is available exclusively via Target, which also includes a bonus disc including the track listing from their 2020 #1’s LP which consists of their previous five #1 singles.

POP EVIL’s greatest strength is the diverse group of people captivated by the band’s relatable storytelling and undeniable catchiness. The Michigan-based blue-collar band– which consists of vocalist Leigh Kakaty alongside lead guitarist Nick Fuelling, rhythm guitarist Dave Grahs, bassist Matt DiRito and drummer Hayley Cramer—have teamed up with their hometown venue The Machine Shop to release an exclusive limited-edition collaborative t-shirt with 100% of funds going to support the venue. Purchase the ‘Shop Evil’ tee before it sells out HERE.

“The Machine Shop and Pop Evil have some many amazing memories together,” POP EVIL collectively state. “They were one of our first venues we’ve headlined in, Kevin and his whole staff are family. We can’t wait to get back in the venue, but until then we wanted to do a collaboration tee shirt to hold the die-hard fans over, get your exclusive ‘Shop Evil Tee’ before it’s gone!”

BAND FORMED OF TOUR/BACKLINE TECHS FOR TOP ARENA ROCK ACTS

Lineup (l-r): Warren Johnson, Ben Young, Brian Diaz

Prior to the halt of live music due to the pandemic, punk/alt-rock trio KNIFES was formed after members BEN YOUNG (vocals, guitars), BRIAN DIAZ (bass) and WARREN JOHNSON (drums) met while working on tours for some of the world’s biggest rock bands including Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Guns N’ Roses, Slipknot, Deftones and Stone Temple Pilots. After YOUNG was asked to fill in for Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson on a series of dates, he started working on his own material and the rest is history. The band are back with their next installment of virulent riffs and contagious melodies on their second EP, REGRESSION TO THE MEAN, scheduled for release on June 11.

Today, Thursday, May 12, KNIFES are premiering the lyric video for the EP’s debut single, “Scammers”—an aggressive ode to ignoring your intuition with instantly catchy riffs and beguiling vocals. The track will be available for streaming on all digital platforms on May 14. Watch the video streaming below and pre-save “Scammers” now at this link: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/knifes1/scammers

“You know that feeling when everything in you is telling you to run away in fear, but you don’t?” questions YOUNG. “That’s what ‘Scammers’ is about, but from the perspective of a gentlemanly serial killer that is full of charm, à la Ted Bundy.”

KNIFES – “Scammers” Lyric Video

REGRESSION TO THE MEAN was self-produced by KNIFES at various locations around Los Angeles and was mixed by Ethan Mates (Linkin Park, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Korn). The EP stays loyal to the 90s alt-rock influences that KNIFES are known for, continuing to subvert catchy pop melodies with time signature changes and monumental guitar riffs while showcasing a natural evolution into more transgressive themes and new approaches to songwriting. It consists of four original songs and a cover of the P.F. Sloan protest song “Eve of Destruction,” popularized by Barry McGuire.

“Serial killers, cocaine and car crashes,” exclaims YOUNG. “These are the themes that found their way onto Knifes’ second EP, ‘Regression To The Mean.’ It is a feral house cat pretending to play nice so it can come indoors. Don’t let your guard down.”

REGRESSION TO THE MEAN is not a quarantine album though—KNIFES had been working on recording these songs long before being confined to their homes. “We were supposed to be onstage tuning guitars with Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Weezer last summer,” laments bassist Brian Diaz, “but then we suddenly found ourselves with extra time on our hands to finish these songs.”

REGRESSION TO THE MEAN Track Listing:

1. 1. 1. 1. “Scammers”
        
        “Shorter Way”
        
        “Sparky Wire”
        
        “Point of Impact”
        
        “Eve of Destruction”

Atlanta-based active rockers PISTOLS AT DAWN self-released their debut EP NOCTURNAL YOUTH last Friday, May 7 which coincided with the band revealing the music video for its third single “Now Is The Time.” In just three days, the video has garnered over 100k combined views—watch it streaming below or on YouTube at this link: https://youtu.be/BUpk_VMQiK4.

“Now Is The Time” follows recent video singles “Crown” (premiered April 9 via Ghost Cult Magazine) and “Voices” (premiered March 5), all of which were directed by Michael Mueller/M3 Creative.

NOCTURNAL YOUTH was recorded with producer Jeff Tomei (Smashing Pumpkins, Matchbox 20) and mastered by engineer Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More) and features four powerful and distinctive tracks which Outburn Magazine applaud for their “instantly catchy sing-along anthems and headbang inducing melodies.” Stream/download NOCTURNAL YOUTH now at http://smarturl.it/StreamNocturnalYouth.

PISTOLS AT DAWN – “Now Is The Time” Official Music Video

PISTOLS AT DAWN was originally formed in 2015 but disintegrated after the tragic passing of guitarist Mike Buffa in 2018. The band reformed in 2019 with founding members, drummer Adam Jaffe, guitarist Devin White and bassist Billy Sullivan while adding Tommy Richardson on guitars and VH1 Rockstar Supernova finalist Chris Pierson on vocals. Taking inspiration from universal hard rock acts such as Godsmack, Breaking Benjamin and Disturbed, the quintet headed to Cock The Walk studio in their hometown of Atlanta with Tomei in early 2020 to record three new singles that displayed their heart-pumping, radio-ready sound which they released later that year. Read more about the band’s history and upcoming plans in their chat with hometown daily paper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, HERE.
