Galvanizing modern classic rock trio THE BLACK MOODS unveiled an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues” featuring The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger and rock singer-songwriter Diamante last October which “infuse(d) this classic with fresh energy and gusto” (Rock & Blues Muse). THE BLACK MOODS have now shared an extended version of the track along with an extended music video featuring behind-the-scenes clips of the recording session with Krieger and Diamante at Krieger’s Los Angeles studio, Love Street Sound. Watch “Roadhouse Blues (ft. Robby Krieger of The Doors & Diamante) – Extended Version” streaming below or via YouTube HERE. The song is also available digitally across all platforms to stream/download at https://orcd.co/roadhousebluestbm.

“Playing ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with the man that wrote it was life changing,” remarks THE BLACK MOODS vocalist/guitarist JOSH KENNEDY. “It’s something I never ever thought I’d have a chance of doing having grown up in a small town in the Ozarks.”

“Lately, I seem to meet more and more young muscians who are into The Doors,” says KRIEGER. “It was really fun recording ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with The Black Moods.  They seem to connect with 60’s style music.”

“We have a big year ahead,” KENNEDY adds. “We kicked it off with ‘Roadhouse Blues (Extended Version)’ and we have a lot of touring coming up too. We have been writing new material and have a new single coming out soon that we can’t wait for our fans to hear!”

THE BLACK MOODS have relentlessly brought their raw, amplified rock & roll to stages across North America alongside acts including The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, The Dead Daisies and The Gin Blossoms as well as appearing at festivals such as Aftershock, Luna Del Lago and Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus. The band finished 2023 with an opening show for Rick Springfield in their hometown of Phoenix, AZ and will perform their first show of 2024 on February 4 at Phoenix’s Celebrity Theatre with multi-platinum singer-songwriter and guitarist Orianthi. The trio will then perform a headlining show on March 9 in Chandler, AZ at SanTan Gardens which will include the relaunch of their limited-edition “Bad News” Bourbon in collaboration with SanTan Brewing.

THE BLACK MOODS released their fourth album INTO THE NIGHT in 2022 via Wit Hustle/The Orchard/Steelhorse Entertainment with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down). The album was lauded by Metal Edge Magazine as “raw, riff-heavy, blues-drenched rock delivered with a nod to the classic acts that came before them, but filtered through a youthful, high-energy lens.” Stream/download INTO THE NIGHT at https://orcd.co/tbmintothenight.

Their previous 2020 album SUNSHINE earned the band four Top 30 singles–including their first-ever Top 20 charting hit with title track, “Sunshine,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard‘s Mainstream Rock radio charts. To date, THE BLACK MOODS have continued to receive strong hometown including multiple cover features from Entertainer! Magazine and Phoenix New Times, appearances via The Arizona Republic, AZFamily (CBS5) “Good Morning Arizona,” Arizona PBS, and even a half-time performance for the Phoenix Suns (NBA) 2022 semi-finals game. The band have also received acclaim from national rock publications including Guitar World, Classic Rock, Loudwire, American Songwriter, Paste, SPIN and many more.

According to singer-songwriter CORY MARKS, 2024 will be “A Different Kind Of Year” as the dual-genre artist leans into his country side for his latest single, out digitally today, January 19, via Better Noise Music.

“It’s the start of a brand-new year, a chance for you to start fresh, refocus and see what is really important in this life,” shares MARKS. “This new song is all about good times, re-connecting with family and friends. Committing to yourself to make things better in the year ahead and not taking those special things for granted. It’s a country song for country people, so cheers. Here’s to you, here’s to me and a different kind of year!”

“I have been revisiting material that has been accumulating, and I am sharing some of my favorite songs for the first time!”
ROSS VALORY, 2024

ROSS VALORY, regarded as one of rock’s best bass guitarists and an original member of the multi-platinum band Journey until his 2020 departure, returns today (January 17) with the video for “Tomland.” It’s the hypnotic first single from the bassist and songwriter’s debut solo album ALL OF THE ABOVE due out this April (exact date TBA) on OID Music. Watch the movingly atmospheric video, directed by Michael Cotten, HERE, for the single which is out this Friday (January 19).

Penned by VALORY, the all-instrumental “Tomland” marks the second piece recorded for the project—and the first done entirely at his new studio in the East Bay area of Northern California. The track builds to a ripping, climactic solo by red-hot guitarist Miles Schon, drummer Prairie Prince and keyboardist Eric Levy. VALORY had the basic parts kicking around since shortly after leaving the Steve Miller Band in 1972, a bluesey set of chords that roll into each other mellifluously, something he had jammed on a lot over the years. He pulled it out to fashion a piece that not only recalls the passing of collaborator Tom Size (accomplished engineer known for his work with Mr. Big, Y&T, and Aerosmith), but also offers an affirmation of resolve to move forward, the sunlight of optimism illuminating the process.

ROSS VALORY always had pieces of music tucked away that he had written, although songwriting contributions to Journey slipped away after the first three “experimental” albums. As a member of Journey, VALORY concentrated on shaping the rhythm section and contributing his baritone vocals to the background blend.

During the band’s second coming following the 1995 reunion album Trial By Fire, VALORY began sorting through his files and polishing up some of his old notes. In between tour dates, he pulled together a tight-knit group of collaborators and slowly began to finish what he started. After a lifetime in music, VALORY scrupulously etched ALL OF THE ABOVE. The album was produced by VALORY and co-produced by Jacob Stowe and Eric Levy.

VALORY developed a repertory company of musicians over the years that came together at his studio. He cultivated individual numbers like sprawling projects, experimenting with different arrangements played by an assortment of musicians. Sometimes spending years jamming on these ideas, the pieces took shape slowly. Different ideas were tried and discarded, remodeled and refurbished. The basic concept was to find the heart of the material and expand upon it until VALORY could refine and shape the music’s path to his supreme satisfaction. He cast specific musicians to specific parts. The studio became his laboratory and the compositions his experiments.

From the Latin-fired intensity of “Wild Kingdom” to the ethereal dirge of “No One Wins a War,” the raucous party on “Low Rider” or the brilliant reprise of Santana’s “Incident of Neshabur,” the album presents an evolved artist fully in command of his vision, a lifetime of experience behind the project, augmenting his core associates with guest musicians such as Gregg Errico of Sly & the Family Stone, drummer Steve Smith, and saxophonist Marc Russo. The nine tracks on the album represent the full maturity of VALORY’s musical gifts, cutting a broad swath through the instrumental territory the music travels. He plays keyboards, guitar, and, of course, many basses in a display of cultivated virtuosity across a palette far broader than could be found in his work with Journey. He is stepping out from behind his bass and, for the first time in his more than half-century as a professional musician, representing his vision and his compositions.

VALORY left Journey in 2020 and the band members worked out their issues in a peaceful mediated settlement. VALORY, who spent most of his life as a member of Journey, has no regrets. He counts his blessings at having spent an amazing career with a remarkable group of musicians who succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

The ALL OF THE ABOVE track listing is as follows:

[Los Angeles CA, January 12, 2024] — Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH today announced the digital deluxe edition of AFTERLIFE, their critically acclaimed ninth studio album. Set for digital release on February 9 via Better Noise Music, the deluxe version will include the original 12 tracks recorded with the band’s longtime collaborator, producer Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne) in addition to four bonus tracks: three acoustic versions of the album’s songs “The End”, “Judgement Day,” and “Thanks For Asking” plus a brand new song, “This Is The Way” featuring the late rapper DMX. An official music video for “This Is The Way (feat. DMX)” will premiere on February 9, 2024 to coincide with the release of the digital deluxe version of AFTERLIFE.

Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory says about “This Is The Way (feat. DMX)”: “Music is meant to be shared, and it starts at the top with us, the artists. We have always embraced the mixing of genres, whether it be the remake of LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out” featuring Tech N9ne as a guest or our collaboration with blues warrior Kenny Wayne Shepherd, country star Brantley Gilbert, and Brian May, the legendary guitarist of Queen, on the song “Blue on Black.” The idea of collaborating with DMX had been in discussion for years, and it was a long and winding road to turn this particular item on our wish list into reality. He was a lyrical warrior, a true original who spoke his mind incorruptibly. We have always viewed DMX as “the metalhead of hip-hop” because of his aggressive, raw, and untamed style. He growled and snarled, aiming to rattle some cages – an attitude we share, as Five Finger Death Punch has always been drawn to the fearless and the real. It made all the sense in the world, but today this is more than just a song; it’s a salute to a legend, a way to honor DMX’s memory.”

Upon announcement of the digital deluxe version of AFTERLIFE today, Five Finger Death Punch has premiered an advance listen to the previously unreleased acoustic version of “Judgement Day” which can be streamed below or via YouTube HERE. The band previously partnered with Covenant House in November 2023 and released an official video for “Judgement Day” during National Runaway Prevention Month to help raise awareness about the Youth Homelessness Crisis.

KillerStar Share The New Single “Got Me All Wrong” From Their Self-Titled Debut Album Out 3/1

DATE: JANUARY 12, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK

KILLERSTAR SHARE THE NEW SINGLE “GOT ME ALL WRONG”
LISTEN HERE / WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

FROM THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM,
OUT MARCH 1ST – PRE-ORDER HERE

LONDON HEADLINE SHOW AT THE 100 CLUB ON MARCH 16TH

“Their sound is distinctively Bowiesque: crunchy power chords leading the way into a supremely catchy tune whose infectious hook will immediately have fans finding parallels with their late idol.”
Louder Than War (UK)

“…new band with a fresh art rock aesthetic…impeccable musicianship”
– Andy Kaufmann, Music Connection (January 2024)

“A universe where modernist touches intertwine with classic harmonies, guided by the influence of legendary collaborators associated with David Bowie.”
House of Solo (UK)

As heard on their introductory singles “Falling Through” and “Should’ve Known Better, Rob Fleming and James Sedge’s new band KillerStar expresses timeless ‘70s musicianship and art-rock invention through a contemporary prism. And if you’re reeling back the years, where better to look for inspiration than the late great David Bowie? The duo have called upon an array of his key collaborators for the project—Earl Slick (guitar), Gail Ann Dorsey (bass), Mike Garson (piano), Emm Gryner (backing vocals), Mark Plati (bass), Tim Lefebvre (bass) and Donny McCaslin (saxophone)—and collectively they’re created the seemingly impossible: a band that’s new and essential for 2024, but also one that channels the creative ethos and independent spirit of the man himself.

Today (January 12), KillerStar take another big step towards the March 1 release of their self-titled debut album by sharing the new single and video Got Me All Wrong.” Opening with an instant earworm of a guitar riff, it’s a song which has the immediacy of an old favorite: sophisticated pop-rock with a strut in its step, effortlessly cool vocal harmonies, and the space for every musician to bring their personality and flair to the fore. Musicians playing on “Got Me All Wrong” are Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums) with guests from the David Bowie band: Earl Slick (guitar), Gail Ann Dorsey (bass), Mike Garson (piano), and Emm Gryner (backing vocals).

Rob Fleming says, “‘Got Me All Wrong’ has a groove and a high energy reflective of the lyrics and playful joy of the tune. James and I are joined by ex-David Bowie bandmates and collaborators Earl Slick, Gail Ann Dorsey, Mike Garson, and Emm Gryner. It was fantastic to have them come together again and work on this new music with us and throughout the whole album. The song ends with something of a musical tour de force of angular crunchy guitar riffs and a virtuoso signature piano solo from Mike.”

Just as the track playfully subverts throwback influences for a new era, the accompanying video does likewise by reimagining visual motifs inspired by the 1920s with a magnetic new performance from Sophie Allen. The video was premiered January 10 by The Big Takeover.

As director JJ Eringa (The Anchoress, Asylums) explains, “What I loved most about the song was its brilliant contrast of angular guitars with swirling sequences that are really quite hypnotic. This video uses sequences from Dada films by Hans Richter, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, which I love because this video is an opportunity to do a variation on what they were doing back then, recontextualising materials for a new purpose and giving them new life! This is all built around a brilliant central performance from Sophie Allen, who captured the exact balance of playfulness and undeniable cool that I was looking for, and which I think is present in the song too.”

KillerStar was formed by Rob Fleming (vocals, guitars, synths) and James Sedge (drums) to capture a sound that had previously felt missing: one that linked the current resurgence of psychedelia, the contemporary indie and alternative scenes, and the primal rush of early ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll. While they were definitively David Bowie fans, the idea of assembling a team of his collaborators arose more by chance than design when Rob invited Emm Gryner to contribute vocals before the other members arrived almost fortuitously.

With songs exuding gritty rock ‘n’ roll and time-honoured glamour, the record was full written and arranged by Rob and James before being completed by some suitably top tier collaborators. Mixing was provided by Dave Eringa, best known for his long-term creative connection with Manic Street Preachers, while mastering was provided by Miles Showell at Abbey Road.

The result is the band’s debut album, which is available to pre-order HERE. It will be released on limited edition 180-gram gold vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital formats.

KillerStar will play a special UK album launch show at London’s 100 Club on March 16th. Rob and James will be joined by three of the key musicians on the album in the shape of Mike Garson, Earl Slick, Mark Plati and Emm Gryner (who will also play an opening solo set) along with keyboardist Dom Beken (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, The Orb). Remaining tickets are available HERE.

DAVID MALLOY Releases First Single “I Play Gimme Shelter” From His Upcoming Solo Debut Album ‘Mirror’ Out 4/26

DATE: JANUARY 11, 2023

FROM: LYNDIE WENNER/MITCH SCHNEIDER, SRO PR

DAVID MALLOY
RELEASES FIRST SINGLE AND VIDEO AS AN ARTIST,
“I PLAY GIMME SHELTER,”
TODAY, JANUARY 11, FROM HIS UPCOMING SOLO DEBUT ALBUM ‘MIRROR’ OUT APRIL 26
GRAMMY-NOMINATED AND AWARD-WINNING
SONGWRITER, PRODUCER AND
2022 NASHVILLE SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE
SHARES HIS LOVE FOR THE ROLLING STONES

LISTEN TO THE SINGLE HERE

DAVID MALLOY, Nashville songwriter and producer of approximately 40 #1’s that he’s either written and/or produced throughout his prolific and highly successful musical career, has been encouraged by friends and peers to write a book about his life. But that was not something he was interested in doing. “Instead,” Malloy shares, “I wrote an album.” And that album, MIRROR, is due out APRIL 26. The album’s first single and official music video “I Play Gimme Shelter” is released today, January 11. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

I Play Gimme Shelter,” written by MALLOY and co-produced with Nashville-based musician and producer Paul Childers, also features background vocalist Jackie Wilson (Season 10 Top 40 “American Idol” Finalist). For the first time in MALLOY’s career, he now stands in the artist’s spotlight and discloses, “Of all the artists I have worked with, there is one artist I have never had the honor or privilege of producing or writing songs for…myself!” He says the decision to release “I Play Gimme Shelter” as the first single from MIRROR was because of “all the chaos and tension now surrounding us in this world. This song had to be the first single.”

MALLOY goes on to say that THE ROLLING STONES’ song “Gimme Shelter,” the first single released on their 1969 Let It Bleed album was reflective of that period of time and energy as stated by MICK JAGGER in a December 14,1995 interview in Rolling Stone magazine (here) as being “kind of an end-of-the world song,really. It’s apocalypse; the whole record’s like that.” MALLOY states that it “reflects our current times unfortunately. I love everything about the Stones’ song ‘Gimme Shelter.’ It sucks you in from the get-go. Some songs you can’t play loud enough, and ‘Gimme Shelter’ and ‘Sympathy For The Devil’ are those songs for me. I wanted to write about how much I love them by creating my own song, ‘I Play Gimme Shelter.’” Of course, my greatest joy would be for the Stones to hear this song. Long live rock and roll!”

Watch the video below.

The official YouTube video of “I Play Gimme Shelter” was directed by Andrew Rozario and DP Michael Stryker of Casting Life Films who also recruited Nashville’s authentic rock quintet Garden of Eden to perform as the young, spirited, and stylish “garage band” in the video that was filmed in various locations in and around East and downtown Nashville, including a hippified and authentic garage band setting where Malloy gets invited in to jam with this group of young rockers to perform “I Play Gimme Shelter” offering musical relief from his long and stressful day as an uptight businessman who needs to let off some steam.

MIRROR is a journal of DAVID MALLOY’s life, his love and the loss of his only son who passed away 18 years ago. MALLOY stepped back from his career for a time but was re-inspired to create once again when a conversation over dinner with friends and a psychic medium happened to be at the table. She offered MALLOY a private reading, from which he said he normally does not subscribe to that sort of thing, but a message was given to him from his son asking him why he wasn’t writing songs, thus triggering the music and the lyrics that surfaced from his heart and soul and now appear on this album.

Throughout his career, DAVID MALLOY has been lauded for his technique of “becoming” the artist he was writing for or producing, similar to an actor getting into character. Many agree that this was a key to his success. He is credited with creating the crossover-influenced sound of country music that defined the genre in the 80’s and 90’s. He’s produced artists Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Mindy McReady, Reba McEntire, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash and more. As a songwriter, David Malloy was inducted into the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Shania Twain, Steve Wariner, Hillary Lindsey and Gary Nicholson and has co-penned numerous songs with Even Stevens and recording artist Eddie Rabbitt throughout Eddie’s career (whom MALLOY produced.) He has had his songs recorded by artists in multi-genres of music such as Badfinger, Bettye LaVette, Billy Burnette, Dr. Hook, Fleetwood Mac, Gregg Allman Band, Julianne Hough, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tim McGraw, Roy Orbison and many more.

BILLY MORRISON Sets 4/19 As Release Date For New Solo Album, ‘The Morrison Project’

DATE: JANUARY 9, 2023

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

BILLY MORRISON
SETS APRIL 19 AS RELEASE DATE
FOR NEW SOLO ALBUM,
‘THE MORRISON PROJECT,’
ON TLG/VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP

FEATURING GUEST PERFORMANCES BY OZZY OSBOURNE,
BILLY IDOL, DMC, AL JOURGENSEN, STEVE VAI,
STEVE STEVENS, LINDA PERRY, TOMMY CLUFETOS, JOHN5, AND MORE

Look for BILLY MORRISON to release THE MORRISON PROJECT—his third solo album and first since 2015—on April 19 via TLG/VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP.

The British guitarist, singer, and songwriterprimarily known as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens, and for his previous role as bassist in The Cult—has assembled an electrifying 12 songs including guest performances by Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, DMC, Al Jourgensen, Steve Vai, Steve Stevens, Linda Perry, Tommy Clufetos, John5, and more. The album’s first single “Drowning” is out February 23, accompanied by a video. Pre-order “Drowning” HERE.

THE MORRISON PROJECT was produced by Billy Morrison, mixed by Barry Pointer, and mastered by Dave Donnelly. All the songs on the album—recorded in Los Angeles at various studios—were written by Billy Morrison in collaboration with his guests.

“One of the greatest things about writing this album was being able to let my guest singers do their own thing,” says MORRISON. I would send them the track with no guidelines and just had them do whatever they felt. I think that gave those songs an energy and a life force that would not be there if I had tried to get involved in their lyrics or their melodies. And I loved everything they all did!”

He adds: “With the songs that I sing on this record, I wanted to write from an observational standpoint about the state of the world, the news outlets, the information flow (or lack of it) and the general sense of dis-ease that seems to be all-pervading right now.”

How did THE MORRISON PROJECT come together? “I truly believe that making music without any preconceptions or goals yields the most creative and enjoyable results. And that is exactly how this record came to life. Making music with Erik (Eldenius) and Jeordie (White) during Covid, and mixing different musical styles started my journey towards this collection of songs that ended up featuring a lot of my friends.”
