“Fast cars, big cities / From the outside it looks so pretty /
I’m a twelve years overnight sensation /
Fightin’ my way to your radio station /
Livin’ this life takes a toll / But I ain’t tired when you’re here with me/
It’s just damn rock n’ roll”

Canadian country rocker CORY MARKS was so musically inspired by his recent European tour, that he decided to release a brand-new song and lyric video to today (April 25), a musical rallying cry to his fans, “Are You With Me?” via Better Noise Music. MARKS also wanted to share the new lyric video for “Lit Up” from his SORRY FOR NOTHING album, which was released December 6, 2024 via Better Noise Music. The songs have just been released as a double-single on digital outlets HERE (“Are You With Me?”) and HERE (“Lit Up”).

“‘Are You With Me?’ is a song for my fans, for the people loving my music and loving this country rock sound,” exclaims CORY MARKS. “They’re the reason we do this and want to get out on the road and play live no matter how hard, long, tough and unfair smoke and mirrors this music industry can be. There’s nothing like playing live and watching the crowd sing a long and rock out with you. Are you with me?”

With over 350 million global streams to date, CORY has been captivating fans across the country and rock spectrum. Unafraid to stand out and stay true to himself, his third album SORRY FOR NOTHING is an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 13 songs produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain, Papa Roach), plus Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman), and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert). The album comes as a follow-up to CORY’s successful debut, WHO I AM, which included the hit single “Outlaws & Outsiders.” The song made history as the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act and over 230 million global streams to date. The single received Platinum certification in Canada and Gold in the U.S.

SORRY FOR NOTHING’s tracks range from Haggard-like country and virtual bluegrass to straight-up arena anthems and almost Pantera-like hard metal as well as mashing both styles in a single song. Guest appearances include Sully Erna of Godsmack, Travis Tritt and Mick Mars on the Top 20 Active Rock radio-charting single (Make My) Country Rock” and DL of Bad Wolves on “Guilty.” SORRY FOR NOTHING is available now on exclusive red vinyl, CD, and/or digital download HERE.

CrypticRock.com described the album as one that, “…showcases MARKS’ ability to navigate the deep waters of soulful country ballads and high-energy Rock anthems, creating a barrage of sound that verges on magic, once it permeates your anticipating ears…SORRY FOR NOTHING positions CORY MARKS as a trailblazer in modern Country Rock, a true force to be reckoned with on the international stage, and if he continues pushing boundaries while staying true to his roots, there is truly no stopping this young man. A must-listen..”

While Rocknloadmag.com declared, “MARKS returns with a banger of an album alongside some of the biggest names in the business for a whole host of killer collaborations. What you get is an album overflowing with stadium-sized anthems, banger after banger, that just grips you right from the off….From start to finish this is a great album, if you love your country-rock you’ll be in your element, Marks is a revelation and can only go on great things, 2025 could be his year!”

In touring news, MARKS is currently out in support of Dorothy as part of their “REDEMPTION” tour, which kicked off April 16 in Nashville, TN and lasts through May 2 in Albuquerque, NM. MARKS will then head back to his native Canada for more headlining shows on his “Sorry For Nothing Tour,” which has spanned North America, the U.K. and Europe!

“‘Sorry For Nothing’ is one of my favorite songs on the album and hits home for me in a nostalgic way,” exclaims CORY. “Where I came from, what I’ve been through, and where I’m going. It’s for any small-town kid with a dream—and believe me, there will be roadblocks…but keep working towards it and be sorry for nothing!”

SORRY FOR NOTHING is a double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between arena-rock and roots country. The album comes as a follow-up to CORY’s successful debut, Who I Am, which included the hit single “Outlaws & Outsiders.” The song made history as the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act and received Platinum certification in Canada and Gold in the U.S.

Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain, Papa Roach), plus Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman), and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), SORRY FOR NOTHING’s tracks range from Haggard-like country and virtual bluegrass to straight-up arena anthems and almost Pantera-like hard metal as well as mashing both styles in a single song. Guest appearances include Sully Erna of Godsmack, Travis Tritt and Mick Mars on (Make My) Country Rock”–which is climbing up the Active Rock radio charts (currently at #20) –and DL of Bad Wolves on “Guilty.”

“The record is really who I am,” says CORY. “The title says it all. I love rock and I love country. I’ve always wanted to be part of something, but I pave my own lane, do what I want to do, try to bring people together. Whether you’re a rock fan, a metal fan or a country music fan, my mission is to reach anyone who feels a little different.”

“It’s a kick in the ass, the good, the bad and the ugly, the ups and downs of life, adding that little bit of fuel to the fire to keep you fighting and to keep your eye on the prize. There are songs for partying, songs to look back on life and have a good cry, love songs… something for everyone.”

Here’s what critics are saying about SORRY FOR NOTHING:

CORY MARKS – SORRY FOR NOTHING Album Cover Art (Download HERE)

CORY MARKS is thrilled to announce his second full-length album SORRY FOR NOTHING will be released via BETTER NOISE MUSIC on October 11. The album offers an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between MARKS’ breakthrough blend of arena-rock and roots country alongside kindred spirits such as Eric Church, Zach Bryan, Hardy, and Brantley Gilbert.

MARKS has today (July 26) released the album’s no-apologies track “(Make My) Country Rock.” It notably includes features from Sully Erna of multi-platinum hard rock group GODSMACK, legendary guitarist Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), and multi-platinum selling and award-winning country artist Travis Tritt. “(Make My) Country Rock”–produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert)—rallies together fans of both country and rock alike with the opening line—“I’ve been known to piss some people off / From the Sunset Strip to small town honky tonks / I’ve been behind both kinds of bars”—while its chorus proudly proclaims: “Ain’t ever gonna stop/ I’m gonna make my country rock.”

Stream it now digitally at https://corymarks.ffm.to/mmcr.

“What can I say…I’m country, I’m rock,” shares MARKS. “That’s exactly what this song is and what I sing about. It may piss people off, but I know a lot more listeners out there are gonna be happier when they hear it. I can say that my friends and features on this track agree too! I’m gonna make my country rock!”

SORRY FOR NOTHING is the follow-up to MARKS’ successful debut, Who I Am. It generated the hit single “Outlaws & Outsiders,” which charted at #1 in the U.S. on Billboard’s “Rock Digital Song Sales” chart and #5 on iTunes “Country Songs, while making history as the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act.

Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain, Papa Roach), Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman), and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), SORRY FOR NOTHING’s 13 songs range from Haggard-like country and virtual bluegrass to straight-up arena rock anthems, Eagles-like acoustic country-folk and almost “Pantera”-like hard metal.

“They’re all Cory Marks,” says MARKS. “I’m very familiar with both genres. I try to mix country music with rock and a dash of metal, mash it all up and that’s my sound. This album features the best songs I’ve written since Covid. It’s a kick in the ass, the good, the bad and the ugly, the ups and downs of life, adding that little bit of fuel to the fire to keep you fighting, to keep your eye on the prize. There are songs for partying, songs to look back on life and have a good cry, love songs… something for everyone. Whether you’re a rock fan, a metal fan or a country music fan, my mission is to reach anyone who feels a little different.”

CORY MARKS Highlights Dual Rock/Country Persona with Two New Tracks: “Guilty (feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” & “Drunk When I’m High”

DT: JUNE 28, 2024

FM: KELLY WALSH, MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

CORY MARKS
HIGHLIGHTS HIS DUAL COUNTRY/ROCK PERSONA
WITH RELEASE OF TWO NEW TRACKS:
ROCK-LEANING
“GUILTY (FEAT. DL OF BAD WOLVES)”
AND
COUNTRY SUMMER ANTHEM
“DRUNK WHEN I’M HIGH”
OUT DIGITALLY TODAY, JUNE 28 VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC

Equally divided between arena-rock and roots country, singer-songwriter CORY MARKS has released a double serving of new music today, June 28, with the rock-leaning “Guilty” featuring guest vocals from DL of Bad Wolves, and country-oriented summer anthem “Drunk When I’m High.” Both tracks are available digitally via all streaming platforms and will be included on MARKS’ forthcoming solo album due later this year via Better Noise Music.

Guilty (feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” was produced, engineered and mixed by Kile Odell (Failure Anthem, Nita Strauss). “‘Guilty’ is really all about being unapologetically yourself and being okay with that,” says MARKS. “Having DL of Bad Wolves join me on this track really adds more fuel to this rock song making it even harder and heavier—he sounds great on it. If living my life is a crime, then I’m guilty.” Stream/download “Guilty (feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” here: https://corymarks.ffm.to/guilty. Watch the music video HERE.

“This song was a really fun listen from the first time, so when I got the opportunity to sing on it, I was stoked,” shares DL. “This was really enjoying to do, thanks to Cory for having me.”

“Drunk When I’m High” was produced, engineered and mixed by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain) at The Hideout Recording Studio in Henderson, NV. According to MARKS, “This summer anthem is just supposed to make you feel good, happy and upbeat. It’s a great song to turn up and play in your car, on your boat, at a house party, just chilling on a beach or by the pool all summer long. Drunk while I’m high watching days go by…” Stream/download “Drunk When I’m High” here: https://corymarks.ffm.to/guilty. Watch the music video HERE.

MARKS has brought his country-rock fusion in front of a diverse range of audiences across Canada and the U.S. alongside acts including Five Finger Death Punch, ZZ Top, Toby Keith, and Brantley Gilbert, while also joining Nickelback on the main stage at this year’s Boots and Hearts festival. This summer, MARKS will appear at several festivals in Canada and a handful of headlining shows. See dates listed below and find ticket details at https://www.corymarks.com. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a special U.S. tour announcement.

MARKS’ 2020 groundbreaking debut album, Who I Am, landed at #1 on several Canadian charts including iTunes’ “Country Songs” and the Canadian Nielsen “Digital Sales Rock Genre” charts. The album featured the hit rock single “Outlaws & Outsiders,” which charted at #1 in the U.S. on Billboard’s “Rock Digital Song Sales” chart and #5 on iTunes “Country Songs. “Outlaws & Outsiders” made history in the U.S. by being the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act. The single has received over 160 million streams to date while achieving Platinum certification in Canada (MARKS’ home country) and Gold certification in the U.S. MARKS has since released three additional EPs and kicked off 2024 with a new track, “A Different Kind Of Year,” which to date has accumulated 1 million streams and charted in the Top 10 on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country Radio.
