6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking Finnish rock outfit THE RASMUS hold nothing back on their new track, the toxic love-themed “Break These Chains” ft. Niko Vilhelm of Blind Channel. It’s out today (May 16) via Better Noise Music and Playground Music. Driven by the band’s signature blend of dark atmospheres and anthemic melodies, the emotionally gripping song is taken from the album WEIRDO. It arrives September 12, marking their 11th studio album and first for Better Noise Music. Pre-orders and limited edition merchandise bundles are available now HERE.

Listen to “Break These Chains” HERE and watch the video, directed by Aleksei Kulikov, HERE on the band’s official YouTube page.

“‘Break These Chains’ is about a toxic relationship,” says singer Lauri Ylönen, who digs his teeth into such lethal lyrics as “You made me believe/That true passion makes you bleed/So I stayed too long/To play your twisted games.” Lauri wrote the song with revered hit songwriters/producers Marti Frederiksen and Desmond Child. “It’s about letting go of something that you know is bad for you, but you’re obsessed with.”

For “Break These Chains,” THE RASMUS called on Niko Vilhelm (of the Finnish Nu Metal band Blind Channel) to make a special guest vocal appearance. “The Rasmus are heroes of mine, so obviously I was excited when Lauri called me and asked me to be a part of this song. Even more so when I heard the track. The heavier sound suits them soooo well. I’m so hyped about where they’re headed and what’s to come.”

Most of the songs on WEIRDO were written by Lauri Ylönen, Desmond Child (who contributed to the band’s BLACK ROSES and RISE albums and has worked with Bon Jovi, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Aerosmith,  Alice Cooper, among countless others) and Marti Fredriksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Veil Brides) in Folegandros, Greece. That’s where Lauri and Desmond met up to work on material that Lauri brought. THE RASMUS then did full band demos of all the tracks in Finland in July 2023, with production led by Frederiksen and Child.

Later, they finalized the songs and recorded the album with the whole band in Marti Fredriksen’s Sienna Studios in Nashville. Some of the tracks were mixed by Fredriksen in Nashville, assisted by Evan Fredriksen, while other mixes were done by Chris Baseford (Nickelback, Shinedown, Daughtry) in Vancouver, Canada and by Claudius Mittendorfer (Panic! At The Disco, We Are Scientists) in London, and Joseph McQueen (Bad Wolves, As I Lay Dying, From Ashes To New) in Los Angeles. Additional production by McQueen injects a fresh intensity into tracks like “Creatures of Chaos” and “Break These Chains,” while Ylönen himself takes the helm on “Rest in Pieces” alongside Alex Mattson.

The album’s second single Creatures of Chaosarrived March 28, with the video racking up over 521k views. It followed the album’s first single Rest In Pieces,” released October 25, 2024, paired with a lyric video which now has amassed over 556k views.

“I find it comforting that our 11th album, WEIRDO, has pretty much the same message as on our first album released in 1996,” says Lauri. “It is to defend and praise the ones who are different from the masses and proudly being themselves as they are. It has been our philosophy from the very beginning.”

Ylönen explains the power behind being a “weirdo.” “In this society I’ve always felt that I’ve had to prove myself for being the way I am or doing the things I do. I’ve always felt like an outsider not fitting the norm. I’ve been called a weirdo, misfit and a freak. That used to make me angry—but not anymore. It’s become my source of strength and confidence. I’ve realized the power of it. All the people I find exciting and inspiring are somehow strange. We, the Weirdos, unite and feed off people’s judging attitudes. The fact is they’re just afraid of us. Afraid of our capability to create new and change the future. Are you a Weirdo? Join us…”

THE RASMUS will bring their unforgettable stage show to audiences worldwide in 2025 on the “Weirdo Tour.” They recently concluded a month-long U.S. trek with The Funeral Portrait, and are now in the midst of their own North American headlining tour, which kicked off May 3 in Atlanta, GA. Tickets are on sale now for its European leg (9/12 – 12/6); see the full dates listed below.

“It’s been a while since we went on tour, so we’re really excited to be heading out all over the world in 2025,” exclaims Lauri Ylönen. “It’s shaping up to be a massive tour and there’s more dates to come. We can’t wait to hang out with our fans. It’s going to be fun to see them again, we’re like family.”

Meanwhile, The Rasmus will play a charity concert in Ukraine on July 19 as the headliner of the Atlas Festival, as the only foreign artist at the event. The band wants to do their part to help Ukraine. Over 60,000 people are expected to be in attendance, and there will be a comprehensive security system and evacuation plan for the audience and performers in just a few minutes if necessary. Last year, the festival raised over two million euros for charity. The artists can choose to direct their charitable funds to any Ukraine-related cause, such as supporting children’s hospitals, purchasing ambulances, or helping combat medical personnel.

“It’s scary to play in the middle of war, but we want to show our support for the Ukrainian people,” says Lauri Ylönen. We have a massive fan base in Ukraine and we’ve also previously done a joint song with the Ukrainian Eurovision winner Kalush Orchestra.”

With its uncompromising vision and unapologetic message, WEIRDO is poised to be THE RASMUS’ most ambitious and impactful album yet. Here’s the album’s track list:

1. Creatures of Chaos

2. Break These Chains

3. Rest in Pieces

4. Dead Ringer

5. Weirdo

6. Banksy

The world can be cruel, but electronic metal group SOLENCE offers a simple cure. The charming quartet of high-energy Swedes is defined as much by their endless optimism as their boundless talent. Their upcoming fifth album, ANGELS CALLING, due out October 3 via Better Noise Music, combines big pop hooks and electro savvy with the heavy yet melodic intensity of trailblazing Swedish metal into a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting.

Pre-orders for ANGELS CALLING, which include an instant download of the first single “Where Were You..?” are available today (May 13) HERE. The visualizer can now be seen on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube page HERE.

SOLENCE will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for Nothing More, which launches November 7 in Finland, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor. General tickets will be available on Friday, May 16 at 10am CET on their official website.

“‘Where Were You..? is a fast and fun song about a friend letting you down when you needed them the most,” says guitarist David Strääf. “The song really keeps the tempo up with a big chorus, modern production and a very heavy, bouncy and genre bending breakdown!”

SOLENCE returns with fresh visuals, a new look, and a retrofitted sound that combines the best of their past with a look into the future for both the group and the genre. “For some reason, I’ve always felt like my time on earth is limited, as if I might die young,” frontman Markus Videsäter explains. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.”

Based out of Los Angeles and originally hailing from Sweden, SOLENCE’s lineup consists of frontman Markus Videsäter alongside guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson. They focus all its energy on uplifting anyone in a dark state of mind to a brighter place. “SOLENCE is all about having a good time,” Videsäter declares. “Our message to our existing fans and potential new ones is that we want to bring the fun back into rock n’ roll.”

“Storytelling is a lot of fun,” he continues. “I write about motivation and how to get myself up in the morning. So, yes, there’s still a lot of that. We bundle it up in a lot more energy and craziness. ANGELS CALLING is so cool. I love every single song. I’m so excited about how massive it feels.”

ANGELS CALLING is the follow-up to their EP BLUE MONDAY (Better Noise Music), released this past January with three new songs: “F**k The Bad Vibes,” “A Banger A Day Keeps The Doctor Away,” and “Who You Gonna Call? (Solence),” which Houston Chronicle highlighted in their “Top 50 Best Underground Music Videos of 2024” list. It also includes two remixed versions of their hit track, “Good F**king Music” by Swedish-based producer MVRE and L.A.-based producer kodeblooded (Asking Alexandria, Charlotte Sands). Stream and download BLUE MONDAY HERE.

The band have built a dedicated global audience on past tours opening for bands including Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, Electric Callboy, We Came As Romans, and The HU, in addition to festival appearances across Europe (Rock For People Festival, Graspop Metal Meeting, Resurrection Fest, Tuska Festival, Nova Rock Festival) and the U.S. (Aftershock, Louder Than Life, Blue Ridge Rock Fest). A SOLENCE performance is a participatory sport, with audiences encouraged to sing and bounce along.

Lauded as one of Pandora’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023,” SOLENCE have to date garnered over 358 million cumulative streams over 940k monthly Spotify listeners, and over 96 million video views since their formation in 2012. The band started by releasing heavy renditions of well-known pop hits from the likes of Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears, and Queen before breaking out with their 2019 debut album BROTHERS. It was quickly followed by their sophomore album, DIRECTION, which saw them achieve their first Active Rock radio charting with “Animal In Me” which became SiriusXM Octane’s most-played track in 2020. Octane’s Sr. Director, Music Programming Vincent Usuriello described SOLENCE’s sound as “a dynamic fusion of rock, metal, and pop elements, with powerful vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and infectious melodies, creating an immersive sonic experience.” In 2021, SOLENCE released their third album, DEAFENING, which showed their range of inspirations from music to anime, gaming, sci-fi, and even philosophy and soon followed with their fourth album HOPE IS A CULT in 2023. Amidst writing new material for SOLENCEVidesäter and Strääf have lent their songwriting skills to pop acts including Jason Derulo and Bebe Rexha.

In 2025, SOLENCE continues to spread its life-affirming message. “‘Until I hear the ‘Angels Calling’ reminds us that life is way too short to worry about doubt or making mistakes,” Markus Videsäter points out. “We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can!”

Here’s the track listing for ANGELS CALLING:

1. Angels Calling
2. Monsters In My Head
3. Where Were You..?
4. MESS
5. <alive
6. Dead_Alive
7. Wish You The Worst

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/MARCEE RONDAN

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN
TODAY RELEASE NEW VIDEO FOR
“DRUNK AND ALONE” SINGLE
FROM THEIR FORTHCOMING ALBUM
‘IV’

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

“One turned into two
Now I’m thinking about you”
–“Drunk and Alone”

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN today (May 9) release their latest single/video “Drunk and Alone,” from their highly anticipated fourth album IV (MoMojo Records) out June 6. Watch the video HERE.

For the bracing “Drunk and Alone,” the ferocious singer, songwriter, and guitarist and his band teamed up with his friend, director Nyke Van Wyk, for the gritty, moving clip which DOUGLAS reveals is autobiographical.

“This one is extremely personal for me. It’s one of those songs where I was reluctant to even put it on the record due to the vulnerability of it all.

“I wrote this on one of my darker days,” he adds, revealing he hasn’t had a drink in two years. “Sometimes you have to see the bottom to realize enough is enough.”

“Drunk and Alone” marks the third track/video from the IV album, following the previous singles/videos: “Dangerous Game” (listen HERE and watch the video HERE) and “Damage” (listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE).

Fronted by DUSTIN DOUGLAS, The Electric Gentlemen—rounded out by drummer Tommy Smallcomb and bassist Matt Gabrielare known to deliver a heavy dose of swagger, groove, and rock ‘n’ roll attitude both on stage and in the studio.

IV is a raw, unapologetic, Blues-Rock Master course. It is a powerhouse album drenched in whiskey-soaked riffs and soaring Rock n’ Roll vocals that once again display DOUGLAS’ meteoric rise as one of the heaviest hitters in the Blues-Rock world. The album was recorded at Eight Days a Week Studios in Northumberland, PA by Paul Smith (Badlees), who engineered and co-produced the album with DOUGLAS. It was mixed and mastered by Nick Coyle (Lifer, Drama Club, Death Valley Dreams). IV is the follow-up album to DDEG’s 2023 release, BLACK LEATHER BLUES.

IV is an album inspired by letting go of any musical chains,” says DOUGLAS. “I had no intention of following any genre restraints or restrictions.

“I wanted to take as many chances as possible,” he adds. “IV certainly has all the elements that make us who we are, but there’s certainly some new and exciting sonic territories being discovered this time around.”

IV is the follow-up album to DDEG’s 2023 release, BLACK LEATHER BLUES.

They’ve been nominated and won numerous awards including Steamtown Music Awards (Scranton, PA), Central Penn-sylvania Music Awards, Independent Blues Music Awards, and Blues Blast Music Awards.

YACHT ROCK SYMPHONY is an unforgettable concert experience featuring a legendary lineup of iconic classic rock hitmakers. It’s set to debut with two initial shows, June 28 in Columbus, OH, (get tickets HERE) and October 11 in Ft. Worth, TX, with more dates to be announced. These extraordinary evenings will feature the original artists who shaped one of rock’s most iconic eras collaborating with a local orchestra. Reimagining classic hits in a symphonic setting, this musical journey will include performances from Ambrosia, John Ford Coley (of England Dan & John Ford Coley), Peter Beckett (the voice of Player). Although the previously announced billing included Elliot Lurie (of Looking Glass), he will be on board for future shows pending scheduling. See below for artist quotes.

Created by Steve Selak and booked by Randy Chaplin, the concept tour of Yacht Rock artists paired with a symphony is something that has never been done. “Yacht Rock has continued to explode in popularity and I was looking for ways to get into larger and more prestigious venues,” Selak explains. “It’s difficult to find a show that can sell tickets and something audiences haven’t seen before. Everyone I spoke to felt the next logical step was to add an orchestra. Fortunately, our gamble has paid off.”

Chaplin adds, “As the leading boutique agency in booking Adult Contemporary artists with Symphony Orchestras for their Pops series, I always look for new and exciting artist ideas to present to the artistic administrators at all the symphony orchestras. When Steve [Selak] approached me with the Yacht Rock Symphony show, I said yes right away.”

The set lists will include top Yacht Rock hits that continue to gain popularity, as they find new fans among younger generations, while still resonating with their core fans. Ambrosia, John Ford Coley, Peter Beckett (The Voice of Player), and Elliot Lurie (of Looking Glass) will take the stage to perform their chart-topping Billboard hits from the 1970s and 1980s, including favorites like “You’re The Only Woman,” “How Much I Feel,” “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight,” and “Baby Come Back.” With five Top 40 Billboard hits and five Grammy nominations, Ambrosia delivers their signature blend of progressive rock and soulful melodies. John Ford Coley brings chart-topping favorites like “I’d Really Love to See You Tonight” and “Nights Are Forever Without You.” Peter Beckett returns with the #1 smash “Baby Come Back,” and Elliot Lurie revisits the timeless Looking Glass classic “Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl).”

Here are some quotes from the YACHT ROCK SYMPHONY artists:

Q: So many Yacht Rock songs have held up and, in fact, they are reaching a whole new audience. What do you credit that to?

JOE PUERTA (AMBROSIA): “The essence of any hit record is the hook–the chorus that you can’t get out of your head. That lyric that strikes a nerve or touches the heart. These songs contain some of the strongest hooks of the era they came from. Beyond our diehard fans who grew up with the music, we’re equally excited that we’ve attracted a whole new audience! Seeing a lot of younger faces in the crowd—fans we never thought we would be reaching at this point in our career—speaks to the music and songs that have stood the test of time (over 50 years), and we are enjoying every minute of it!”

BURLEIGH DRUMMOND (AMBROSIA): “It was a great era for pop music, and especially songwriting. My children grew up hearing these songs and have made them part of their musical library. I believe that’s the case with most of the audience that come to our shows—you have some original fans alongside their children. Many of the fans have been listening to these songs for their whole lives. Every night, I’m impressed by how many of the younger audience members know all the lyrics of all these tunes.”

JOHN FORD COLEY: “So many Yacht Rock songs originally included strings or horns and other instruments on the recordings that touring artists weren’t able to include on the road.  To now be able to perform with a fuller sound brings a new dimension to the songs.”

PETER BECKETT (the voice of PLAYER): “I credit the longevity of these songs to the fact that they’re actually good. The music quality from the late 60’s to the early 80’s has stood the test of time. To be able to recreate that sound on this tour is really exciting.”

ELLIOT LURIE: “The term ‘yacht rock’ began as a bit of a joke. However, people got into the music as a genre, I think what stood out was the quality of the musicianship, songwriting, and recording. The fact that the songs continue to resonate with modern audiences is gratifying.”

Q: What can audiences expect at these upcoming shows?

JOE PUERTA (AMBROSIA): “We have carefully chosen the songs we felt had the biggest impact on our audience. The show features many iconic songs from the ‘yacht rock genre.’ We’re hoping that when people come to the shows, they will take a trip down memory lane as they listen to the soundtrack of their lives.”

BURLEIGH DRUMMOND (AMBROSIA): “They can expect non-stop hits from an era of iconic songwriting with talented artists performing their own songs. Beautiful orchestrations, YACHT ROCK on steroids!”

JOHN FORD COLEY: “Reaching a new audience was the biggest surprise for me. It’s impossible to tell you the thrill of hearing and seeing an audience singing the songs, sometimes louder than we are playing.  If I could wish one thing for people, it would be experiencing the sheer joy of having people sing your songs back to you.  Nothing like it.”

PETER BECKETT (the voice of PLAYER): “We’re hopeful that the audience will hear the tunes they grew up listening to, with a whole new dimension. In a sense, a new take on the soundtrack of their youth.”

ELLIOT LURIE: “Audiences can expect to hear the yacht rock songs performed by the original artists with symphonic accompaniment tailored to those songs, with an added layer of smoothness from the symphony!”

Stay tuned for additional YACHT ROCK SYMPHONY tour dates.

#1 FINNISH ROCKERS THE RASMUS

TO PLAY CHARITY GIG IN UKRAINE AT ATLAS FESTIVAL

One of Finland’s most internationally known bands, The Rasmus, will play a charity gig in Ukraine this summer on July 19 as the headliner of the Atlas Festival, as the only foreign artist at the event.

The band wants to do their part to help Ukraine.

It’s scary to play in the middle of war, but we want to show our support for the Ukrainian people. We have a massive fan base in Ukraine and we’ve also previously done a joint song with the Ukrainian Eurovision winner Kalush Orchestra” – frontman Lauri Ylönen.

Over 60,000 people are expected to arrive at the festival. The festival has a comprehensive security system and the event is prepared to evacuate the audience and performers in just a few minutes if necessary.

Last year, the festival raised over two million euros for charity. The artists can choose to direct their charitable funds to any Ukraine-related cause, such as supporting children’s hospitals, purchasing ambulances, or helping combat medical personnel.

The Rasmus recently released the electrifying new single “Creatures of Chaos” via Better Noise Music and Playground Music. With their signature blend of dark atmospheres and anthemic melodies, the band once again proves why they remain a force to be reckoned with in the rock world. In their native Finland, where they are the reigning #1 rock band, The Rasmus stands at #1 on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and Deezer as far as followers, views, likes and streams.

The video for “Creatures of Chaos” can be seen on the band’s official YouTube page HERE.

The Rasmus is currently on tour in the United States. View the dates HERE.

ABOUT ATLAS FESTIVAL

The first edition of Atlas festival dates back to 2015 and ran successfully until 2019. In 2024 the organizers bravely brought it back, creating the biggest music event to take place in Ukraine since the invasion started, with 63,000 people in 3 days. The festival had a robust safety framework to ensure the artists’ and audience’s safety. The new venue – Blockbuster Mall – has the biggest underground parking in all of Ukraine (50000 m2), which can quickly become a shelter. In fact, in case of alarm, the entire festival can be evacuated to the shelter in a matter of minutes. The organizers worked and continue to work with the State Emergency Services, regional military administration and city administration to ensure the mitigation of all risks and the preparation for any threats without any danger to the people.

The festival entirely revolves around a big charity goal – to raise 100mln UAH (2.3 M EUR) to help the country. In 2024 Atlas Festival reached the goal with the help of its audience, artists, influencers and everyone who was involved. The whole festival was built around raising these funds with the help of our artist, sponsors, audience and all the country’s volunteers, influencers and opinion leaders.

About JOE PERRY:

As co-founding member, principal songwriter, electrifying lead guitarist and co-producer of Aerosmith—America’s Greatest Rock & Roll Band—JOE PERRY has achieved permanent iconic stature in the pantheon of rock. He has helped to drive his band, over the course of five decades, to sales of more than 150 million albums, critical acclaim, four Grammy Awards (one of which includes the guitar-based instrumental “Boogie Man”) and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. JOE ’s work with Aerosmith has resulted in an unending array of accolades and honors. Beyond their Grammy Awards and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, other key milestones over the past 50 years include: 12 MTV Video Awards; two People’s Choice Awards; six Billboard Music Awards; eight American Music Awards; 23 Boston Music Awards; and an Academy Award nomination for Best Song, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” (from the soundtrack to Armageddon). One of the world’s true Guitar Hero’s, he was immortalized in 2008, when AEROSMITH made history and created a cultural firestorm with the Activision released Guitar Hero®: Aerosmith®, an epic collaboration that marked the first music-based game to feature one band. As a solo artist, PERRY has released six albums including his 1980 debut, the critically acclaimed Let the Music Do the Talking, which landed at #47 on Billboard’s album chart. Most recently, PERRY released SWEETZERLAND MANIFESTO in 2018 and SWEETZERLAND MANIFESTO MKII in 2023 (which included six tracks with alternate vocal appearances and mixes from the 2018 album). Since 2012, PERRY has been a member of the Hollywood Vampires–an American rock supergroup—alongside Alice Cooper and Johnny Depp. The group released three albums: Hollywood Vampires (2015) and Rise (2019), along with a live album Live in Rio (2023). In addition, in 2014 PERRY released ROCKS: My Life In and Out of Aerosmith (Simon & Schuster). Written with David Ritz, the book spent its initial two weeks on the prestigious NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list. To support the book, JOE embarked on a cross-country book tour with multiple nights in New York, his Boston hometown (three in-stores), Chicago, San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles and a stop at The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland. In addition, he made top-tier broadcast appearances on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, CBS This Morning, Fox & Friends, Tavis Smiley, and Larry King alongside popular national radio including Howard Stern and Imus In The Morning. PERRY also personally narrated the audio version of the book.
