YouTuber & musician RHETT JAMES MCLAUGHLIN–one-half of the comedy duo Rhett & Link from their popular daily show “Good Mythical Morning”—will release his debut solo country album HUMAN OVERBOARD this Friday, September 23, To celebrate its release, RHETT has shared a new folk-driven single “Give A Damn” along with a whimsical music video animated by Micah Buzan (The Claypool Lennon Delirium, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Watch and listen to it premiering today via RHETT’s YouTube channel HERE or streaming below.

“‘Give a Damn’ charts a bit of new sonic territory as compared to the first two singles, adding a folk rock vibe to the country mix,” says RHETT. “Thematically, it’s a confession of my evangelistic tendencies—my need to persuade—and how I don’t particularly like that aspect of my personality. In a sense, it captures the conflict I have in releasing this music in the first place. I’m just trying to tell my story without the expectation that anyone should or would care, and that can be a hard thing for me, especially when I drink my own Kool-aid and believe I’ve got something important to say.”

RHETT continues to share his inspiration for the “Give A Damn” music video stating: “For the music video, I knew I wanted to illustrate just how deep personal convictions–religious and otherwise–can be, to the point of making you feel like you’re part of an army of special, chosen ones on a mission. Micah Buzan, an incredible animator known for the official music Video for ‘Little Fishes’ from The Claypool Lennon Delirium, as well as City of Venom from Mashed–along with help from Brittany Penn–brought my vision to life with his trademark style.”

Born in Macon, GA and raised in North Carolina, RHETT grew up surrounded by the sounds of his father’s musical heroes such as Merle Haggard, George Jones, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley whose classic melodies inspired him to begin writing his own music. On his debut album, HUMAN OVERBOARD, due September 23, RHETT captures his reverence for the foundations of country music while paying ode to his youth. With impassioned and deeply personal lyrics, HUMAN OVERBOARD details RHETT’s journey away from Christianity.

JAMES AND THE SHAME revealed the first taste of HUMAN OVERBOARD with the track “Believe Me” on July 18 which delved into RHETT’s spiritual deconstruction and the reaction he received after making the announcement publicly. For Folk’s Sake (8/7) wrote about the song stating, “McLaughlin’s pleading croon rings in the likes of Alan Jackson and Darrell Scott, but instrumentally veers into territory reserved by Lord Huron and Okkervil River. It’s an eclectic mix of vintage country and folk-rock.” Its lyric video, seen HERE has since garnered over 709k views. The second single, “Where We’re Going,” which features guest vocals from his wife, Jessie McLaughlin, was premiered via PopMatters on August 17 who described the track as a hearty, romantic performance reminiscent of Americana this side of Drew & Ellie Holcomb” while stating “elements brought into production like melodic pedal steel and steady percussion set the song into a contemporary country-like soundscape.” Watch the music video for “Where We’re Going” HERE.

RHETT was seen over the past weekend at Beachlife Festival in Redondo Beach, CA making a surprise guest appearance alongside Shooter Jennings, Lukas Nelson & Orville Peck as part of their tribute set for the late country icon Waylon Jennings. He shares his experience, stating: “I was floored when Shooter asked me to be a part of the tribute. Finding out that he was a fan of my music was a surreal moment, and it became even more surreal when I found myself on stage singing one of my favorite Waylon Jennings songs, ‘Waymore’s Blues,’ for a huge crowd. I’ll never forget it.”

JAMES AND THE SHAME will make its debut performance at Mythicon 2022 in Austin, TX on October 28-30, for tickets and more information, visit: https://www.mythicontickets.com/#tickets.

OZZY OSBOURNE Sets New Precedent With Biggest Global Chart Entries In His Six-Decade Career For His ‘Patient Number 9’ Album

DATE: SEPTEMBER 20, 2022

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

OZZY OSBOURNE
SETS NEW PRECEDENT
WITH BIGGEST GLOBAL CHART ENTRIES IN HIS
SIX-DECADE CAREER
FOR HIS ‘PATIENT NUMBER 9’ ALBUM
IN THE U.S. ALBUM LANDS AT
#1 ON SEVEN SEPARATE CHARTS

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter OZZY OSBOURNE has topped his previous chart entries with record-breaking numbers around the world for his critically acclaimed new album PATIENT NUMBER 9.

Released September 9 and marking OZZY’s 13^th solo studio album, it triumphantly sets new career highs for OZZY. In the U.S., the album debuted at #1 on multiple charts: Top Album Sales (Ozzy’s first #1 ever on this chart), Top Current Album Sales (another first), Top Rock & Alternative Albums, Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Rock Albums, Top Vinyl Albums and Tastemaker Albums charts; and at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. Globally, the album charted at #1 in Canada (OZZY’s first-ever #1 there); career high #2 entries in the UK, Australia, Finland and Italy; #6 in the Netherlands and New Zealand; #8 in Belgium; and #14 France. Other highlights include #2 Austria, Germany and Sweden; #3 in Switzerland; and #4 in Norway.

Working with producer Andrew Watt for the second time, OZZY welcomed a dynamic A-list featured guests on the album. For the first time ever, Black Sabbath co-founder, guitarist, and riff-master Tony Iommi appears on an OZZY solo album. The record also boasts guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and longstanding righthand man and six-string beast Zakk Wylde who plays on the majority of the tracks. For the bulk of the album, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers held down drums, while the late Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters appears on three songs. Old friend and one-time OZZY band member Robert Trujillo of Metallica plays bass on most of the album’s tracks, with Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Chris Chaney supplying bass on a few songs.

Here’s some early critical feedback for PATIENT NUMBER 9:

“It’s a This Is Your Life collection of the artists who influenced, played with, and were inspired by Osbourne, and, even with all the star power, it never feels like anything other than an Ozzy Osbourne album…an album that rocks harder than Ordinary Man without losing sight of Osbourne’s love of melody.”
ROLLING STONE, 9-10-22

“Ozzy Osbourne Is a Bright Light on Star-Studded Album Patient Number 9…”
—CONSEQUENCE, 9-9-22

“Patient Number 9 is fully a hard-rock and metal record…whether he gets back onstage or in a studio (and as his slowly improving health allows), this heavy-metal patient only sounds recharged…”
—REVOLVER, 9-9-22

Through it all, Osbourne sounds full of life…Patient Number 9 is a more focused work…there was speculation around Ordinary Man’s release that it could be Osbourne’s final album. Patient Number 9 proves that theory wrong. Don’t count him out just yet.”
—ULTIMATE CLASSIC ROCK, 9-9-22

Overseas, the album was equally well-received:

“The songs are tightly written…also finely balanced, the choruses big and bold enough to attract attention
but not overshadow the main attraction’s essential essence.”
The Guardian
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This is a swashbuckling return.”
Daily Mail
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“…it’s a fizzing piece of hard-rock magic.”
NME
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“He’s doing the very things that first made him such an appealing Rock villain.”
The Times
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Patient Number 9: a defiantly bravura set of melodic metal on which the 73-year-old
genuinely sounds as though he’s having the time of his life.”
Telegraph
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“…in favour of a darker, heavier, more nuanced strain of epic metal,
Ozzy has conjured some of his strongest material in decades.”
Metal Hammer
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“…a massive celebration of life and friendship and the magic power of music.”
Kerrang!
⭐⭐⭐⭐

“This one is a star-studded affair.”
Rolling Stone UK

Aligning with this week’s theatrical debut of the horror thriller ‘THE RETALIATORS’ (Better Noise Films) across over 1,000 cinemas worldwide, CCMA-nominated Canadian country rocker CORY MARKS shares a rousing music video for his anthemic rock single “Burn It Up” which is featured on THE RETALIATORS ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK out today, September 16, via Better Noise Music. The video was directed by ‘THE RETALIATORS’ producer and lead actor Michael Lombardi (FX’s ‘Rescue Me,’ HBO’s ‘The Deuce’) whom MARKS appears alongside with a featured role in the film. Watch the “Burn It Up” video below or stream/download the single online here: https://corymarks.ffm.to/burnitup.

“‘Burn It Up’ is an aggressive, energetic and positive rock anthem that is meant to push the listener to feel good,” says MARKS. “We know the past two years have been so challenging on many, so it’s meant to get us through that in a big way –there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. For me personally it’s fitting due to the fact I had so much lined up perfectly after two years, then COVID hit and kept me grounded for almost another two. Now that the world is moving again and I have new music with another huge US tour, it’s time to get out there and BURN IT UP. With its energetic aggressiveness, this song ties into the rollercoaster ride ‘The Retaliators’ movie brings you on!”

“Burn It Up” is the latest single from MARKS who recently surpassed over 100 million total streams following the release of his 2020 debut album WHO I AM via Better Noise Music. The video will join recent clips which have to date received over 25 million YouTube views combined and precedes his upcoming rock-centric EP I RISE due on November 4 via Better Noise Music. MARKS will also release a country-centric EP in 2023 and will be seen performing across the U.S. throughout November and December with fellow THE RETALIATORS soundtrack artist FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, whose members also appear in the film, and Brantley Gilbert. Dates and tickets can be found HERE.

BETTER NOISE FILMS released their revenge-driven horror thriller THE RETALIATORS yesterday, September 14, in over 1,000 cinemas across the globe. The film was praised as a “blunt, bloody and brutally bombastic slice of genre cinema” (Backseat Mafia) and stars Michael Lombardi (FX’s ‘Rescue Me,’ ‘The Deuce’) and Marc Menchaca (‘Ozark,’ ‘Black Mirror’), alongside featured appearances from a who’s-who of modern active rock chart-leading musicians including TOMMY LEE (MÖTLEY CRÜE), IVAN MOODY and ZOLTAN BATHORY (FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH) and JACOBY SHADDIX (PAPA ROACH).

The above-mentioned musicians, and several top active rock acts including ICE NINE KILLS, THE HU, BAD WOLVES, HYRO THE HERO and ASKING ALEXANDRIA are featured on the film’s soundtrack out tomorrow, September 16, on CD, LP, Cassette Tape and digitally via Better Noise Music. The soundtrack also includes a bonus track, “Cops Are Here,” from THE RETALIATORS official score by ‘Stranger Things’ Emmy-winning composers KYLE DIXON and MICHAEL STEIN.

Watch the official music video for “Cops Are Here” streaming below or directly HERE . The video was directed by the film’s producer and lead Michael Lombardi.

Just as The Lost Boys and The Crow defined the late 80’s and ‘90s alt-rock scene respectively, THE RETALIATORS is a powerful testament to a new hard rock generation. THE RETALIATORS ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK boasts music from 23x-platinum MÖTLEY CRÜE, four-times platinum PAPA ROACH, triple-platinum rockers FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, platinum group HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD, 3x GRAMMY nominated rock act NOTHING MORE, 4x Gold Single holders ASKING ALEXANDRIA, and up-and-coming charting acts ICE NINE KILLS, THE HU, BAD WOLVES, ESCAPE THE FATE, CORY MARKS, EVA UNDER FIRE, CLASSLESS ACT and more. See the complete track listing below.

“This reminds me of a return to form, where you would meld aggressive rock and metal soundtrack with an edgy picture,” says ICE NINE KILLS frontman Spencer Charnas who appears in THE RETALIATORS as “Max.” He elaborates on his edgy experience filming stating: “It’s the only time I’ve ever had a gun in my mouth, which was pretty exciting. It was also the perfect first time to meet Five Finger Death Punch. What better way to get to know someone than have them stick a gun in your face?”

PAPA ROACH vocalist JACOBY SHADDIX shared how their single “The Ending” made it on the soundtrack: “‘The Ending’ is one of those songs that when we first wrote it we knew it was special, there is something about those dark 80’s synths that lend themselves so well to horror. When we got the call that ‘The Retaliators’ wanted to use it in the soundtrack, we said yes as it absolutely fits, then we made a new ‘Retaliators’-themed music video for ‘The Ending’. When great music is tied to film it adds this extra layer of excitement for me, like ‘Lost Boys’ and ‘The Crow.’”

THE RETALIATORS ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK is available for pre-order now digitally and on digipak CD, cassette, and a limited collector’s edition 180-gram red and black splatter vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve with exclusive movie stills and a 24×36 inch collectible movie poster, blood splattered o-card, and a redeemable digital download to accompany the vinyl.

ON SEPTEMBER 16, THE SAME DAY “CAN’T WIN” IS DIGITALLY RELEASED

VELVET CHAINS will release their third single, “Can’t Win,” across digital platforms this Friday, September 16. Taken from the Las Vegas-based hard rock group’s second full-length album due out next year, the track possesses a musically dark feel and moody introspective lyrics. The band–consisting of founder Nils Goldschmidt (bass), Brazilian brothers Laurent (lead guitar) and Larry (rhythm guitar) Cassiano, drummer Jason Hope and Chilean-bred lead singer Ro Viper— yesterday, September 14, revealed a first glimpse of the “Can’t Win” music video with a premiere highlighting their cultural diversity and international appeal via the Brazil-based media outlet Terra.

“Can’t Win” was recorded at Hideout Recording Studio in the band’s Vegas hometown with Grammy Award-nominated and Juno Award-winning producer Kane Churko (Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, Skillet) and was co-written by founding member/bassist NILS GOLDSCHMIDT and multi-platinum songwriter Drew Lawrence. Its music video was shot at various locations across Vegas with director Brian Cox (Bring Me The Horizon, Hollywood Undead, The Used), who also lensed the video for VELVET CHAINS’ “Last Drop,” the first single from the upcoming album, which premiered via AntiMusic.

“We filmed the video all around Vegas, says NILS, “including a house with a cool bar, downtown Vegas, a random studio in North Vegas, the middle of the desert, etc. Director Brian Cox used a drone for the pool scene, which was interesting to shoot since our lead singer Ro had some trouble floating.” NILS adds: “The song’s lyrics are pretty ominous, but I think you’ll find an element of hope in there, too. ‘When guilt turns into sin, grief eats away my soul, when I know that I can’t win’ is a key line from the chorus of the song, based on the feeling of constantly failing. The video reflects these emotions with scenes showing defeat and despair. There’s also a tip of the hat in there to Soundgarden, a band we all love, with the line, ‘Like a black hole sun I shine.’”

Watch “Can’t Win” streaming below or directly on YouTube HERE.

VELVET CHAINS will celebrate the release of “Can’t Win” with an opening performance for Todd Kerns (Slash Feat. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators, The Age of Electric) on its release date, September 16 at Count’s Vamp’d in Vegas. The band will play their new songs including their second single “Back On The Train,” released August 12. MXDWN premiered its Dean Karr (Ozzy Osbourne, Velvet Revolver)-directed music video as being “armed with thunderous riffs, melodious guitars…[and] booming vocals.” CHAINS have been seen performing on the summer’s rock festival circuit including appearances at Rock Fest (Cadott, WI) and Blue Ridge Rock Fest (Alton, VA) and have an ongoing Vegas residency at The Barbershop (The Cosmopolitan).

“Harlem River Serenade” is the third single/video from LORNE BEHRMAN’s solo debut album A LITTLE MIDNIGHT out this Friday, September 16 on Spaghetty Town Records. Look for the NYC punk rock n’ roll singer-songwriter-guitarist to celebrate the album’s release that night with a show at Arlene’s Grocery on the Lower East Side. LORNE will hit the stage with a 7-piece band featuring two backup singers at 9:30pm.

“Harlem River Serenade” is a slice of dirty and catchy rock n’ roll scrapped off of the streets of the Bowery, merged with imagery-rich lyrics about moving on from a busted-up romance. Today, LORNE has shared the David J Barron-directed video that was filmed at various locations in NYC including Arlene’s Grocery. Watch the video HERE. The “Harlem River Serenade” single/video was premiered yesterday (September 13) by New Noise.

Below is a Q&A with LORNE, who previously played in The Dimestore Haloes, L.E.S. Stitches, The Dead Tricks and most recently The Sweet Things, about the “Harlem River Serenade” single/video. View the song’s credits + lyrics here.

The 10-song A LITTLE MIDNIGHT is a series of New York City vignettes haunted by shadows but guided by light. The words here are literate and lacerating, recalling the street poetics of Lou Reed, Richard Hell, and Television. The songs feature stark and fluid guitar playing in the spirit of The Stooges’ James Williamson, Johnny Thunders, and Lou Reed. It follows LORNE’s acclaimed 2021 four-song EP When I Hit The Floor, which prompted the esteemed Jesse Malin to note: “Real blood and guts rock and roll that bleeds with soul and redemption.”

A LITTLE MIDNIGHT’s raw but polished production aesthetic is courtesy of producer Matt Chiaravalle (Warren Zevon, Joe Bonamassa, Spacehog). A Little Midnight was mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Joe Lambert. Wyldlife bassist Spencer Alexander designed the album artwork, and it is a subtly playful homage to the cover of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ Damn the Torpedoes.

“This album is about struggling to be reborn,” LORNE shares. “Wanting to run back to the arms of toxic people or the patterns of self-destruction. It’s about clawing your way to a new existence while acknowledging all the causalities, and all you’re letting go. You glimpse a new life, but you don’t feel it yet.”

“Harlem River Serenade” comes on the heels of the album’s first two singles/ videos, the most recent of which was “I Hope The Sun Doesn’t Catch Us.” MXDWN noted that “…[the video] gives viewers an incredible sight of Behrman strumming his guitar with fantastic talent and singing about hoping that the sun doesn’t catch us, as we follow a man and woman on the streets of New York trying to get away from the sun that is blaring down on them.” “I Hope The Sun Doesn’t Catch Us” was preceded by the single/video for “A Little Midnight.” Glide raved about how the song “features a blackened riff howl of punk bands like The Damned and The Gun Club mixed with pop sensibilities of The Replacements. When Behrman sings “A little midnight/ it’s alright/A little midnight/does you right,” listeners get a gracious sense of rock and roll escapism at its most pure form.”

Q&A with LORNE BEHRMAN ABOUT THE SINGLE/VIDEO
“HARLEM RIVER SERENADE”

—Can you describe your mindset when writing the song and being very honest about a busted-up romance with these vivid lyrics?

Maybe this is my “I Will Survive” song? Before I met my wife, I went through a painful breakup. It felt so sudden and so cold, and I spent so much of my time obsessing about it. I would be on the train to pick up my daughter and feel impulses to reach out to this person. Everything outside the window felt like metaphorical magical thinking. I would try to find some sign that things would have a fairytale ending. The lyric, “Looking out/to factories as planters/green reaching through bricks/No hope there/we’re shattered/like broken bottles on train tracks,” for me, meant that an old factory outside the window was a metaphor for the relationship and maybe the green—the plants and such—reclaiming it were showing me a sign that there was some hope after all.

Suffice to say, there is a good ending, here. I endured the pain, did a lot of self-improvement stuff (read a lot about co-dependence and radical acceptance), and took a year off dating. My first date back was with the most loving and badass person ever, my wife. That other person reached to me once more, and I decided to move on. The message here is when you decide not to be involved with people who don’t know your worth the Universe sends you better people.

—This marks your sixth video overall + third for the upcoming album. It was shot at, and around, your recent gig at the Arlene’s Grocery venue on the Lower East Side. What did you feel was important for director David J Baron to portray in the video?

When I decided to pursue a solo career, I was unconfident, I was hurting, and I was angry. My heart was closed off—I felt like it was me against people, and I had something to prove. I don’t feel that way anymore. I have a solo band I love, I’m so proud of this album, and there are so many kind people who have helped me and believed in me along the way.

I wanted David to capture this joy I feel, and he’s such a creative and intuitive person. There is a vibe around this solo project—I’m so blessed to have this—and I just hoped it would naturally come through. We had one show booked, and that meant one chance to get this video right. As something of a new artist, you don’t know how a show will be: will we play okay? will people come? So many unknowns! I decided to just let go and believe in the music, and my honest intention to connect with people. The night went magically. It was packed, people danced to songs they hadn’t heard before, and I just felt so happy. It felt like a rebirth for me—like I fought through a lot of darkness and came out the other side.

—Perhaps you can talk about the thrill of being onstage and in such an intimate venue?

When I was in my early 20s, I remember seeing a band play that I loved. They were headlining at Coney Island High, and I said, “aren’t you guys excited?” The singer said, “not really.” He was in his mid-20s and already so jaded! I vowed that night I would never be that way. I started playing in punk clubs and bars when I was 19, and I’ve never lost the excitement that I had before my first show. I’ve hit some cool career highpoints, and I have had to start over many, many times—it’s humbling—but I always get back up and bounce back. Playing small clubs packed with people who get what you do is just electric. That feeling of “we’re in this together” outside of what’s massively popular feels like you’re part of this little in-the-know family. Like here’s a place you belong—there’s nothing like it.

—The video definitely embodies “NYC.” As a New York-based artist, what are your feelings about the city these days since cities are always in a state of flux? What do you see when you look around?

Like a lot of people, I’ve seen many rock n’ roll civilizations decimated by commerce—luxury high rise buildings ousting nightclubs. But I’ve also seen musicians just find new clubs and build new communities. You can’t live in the past—it’s not good for the soul or good for music. Years ago, there were CBGBs, The Great Gildersleeves, and Max’s Kansas City; then Coney Island High and The Continental; and now there is Bowery Electric, Baby’s Allright, Arlene’s Grocery, and so many great clubs deep in Brooklyn. The music is there, the people are there, and the bands are playing loud and fast. I just keep going. New York is still open, and rock n’ roll still feels vital here.
