IN DIME WE TRUST is proud to announce the establishment of BLACKTOOTH BEVERAGES—a female-owned-and-led liquor brand founded by Rita Haney, trustee and widow of the late legendary Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag Darrell. BLACKTOOTH BEVERAGES’ mission is to honor his legacy with premium handcrafted beverages which embody his rebellion, creativity, and unifying nature with the release of BLACKTOOTH American Rye Whiskey, BLACKTOOTH Blended, and BLACKTOOTH Grin Ready To Drink Single-Serve cocktails (Leaded & Unleaded).

BLACKTOOTH American Rye Whiskey is the brand’s signature release—a seven-year aged rye whiskey blended with the finest artesian spring water from the Rocky Mountains. BLACKTOOTH Blended is a blend of the seven-year American Rye whisky and ultra-smooth vodka at a wallet-friendly point of $33 in honor of Dimebag’s known association with the number three. Blacktooth Grin is a blend paying tribute to Dimebag’s infamous drink concoction, the “Black Tooth Grin,” a canned mix of Blacktooth Blended and cola available as “Leaded” (with sugar) and “Unleaded” (sugar-free). All four beverages are currently available to purchase online in select U.S. markets via https://blacktoothbeverages.com.

“Darrell always wanted his own whiskey, we talked about it a lot together,” shares HANEY. “I have handwritten notes and lists, with his ideas and drawings, BlackTooth was always part of those goals he wanted to reach. Dime was always about unity, whether it be brought around through music or good cocktails. He loved to pour ‘em up and ‘Watch It Go!’ He was always about a damn good time! I think this whiskey represents his essence very well…That ‘Getcha Pull’ attitude…enjoy life and have as much of a good time as can be had. You can’t go wrong with that outlook, and a good cocktail to go along with it!”

BLACKTOOTH BEVERAGES team includes Walt Kerpa (CEO of Distilled Spirits USA, Inc. and Founder of American Revolution Vodka), Jordan Kerpa (Master Distiller and Head of Operations), and Director of Operations Brent Hamilton (former Marketing Executive for various large-scale energy drink brands). “I like to think the pink beard up above had a hand in a chance meeting between Walt and myself,” says HANEY. “We met at a music showcase and sparked up a conversation over our love of music, family and good booze!” Read a Q&A with HANEY to find out more about forming BLACKTOOTH BEVERAGES and her fondest memories with Dimebag HERE.

“My son Jordan and I are honored to be part of the journey in bringing Blacktooth to life, comments WALT. “Rita is one of the most caring and genuine people we have ever met, and her passion to pursue this dream that she and Dime founded so many years ago is so apparent when you hear her speak. This is not another celebrity brand; this is legacy brand honoring an icon!”

“Rita is truly honoring Dimebag’s legacy in every sense with BlackTooth Beverages,” says HAMILTON. “I feel that fans will appreciate the time and effort she has spent developing an authentic ‘BlackTooth’ taste profile. The initial response has been beyond exciting. I’m honored to be a part of BlackTooth and to be able to finally share it with the fans.”

BLACKTOOTH BEVERAGES’ launch will be celebrated with a special event Tuesday, August 20, on Dimebag’s birthday, from 5:00 – 8:00 PM at the iconic Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood, CA. HANEY will be behind the bar pouring the new line of BLACKTOOTH BEVERAGES for fans along with some special guest bartenders (to be announced). A “Dimebag Experience” pop-up will feature a display of Dimebag’s iconic guitars, personal effects and memorabilia plus exclusive Dimebag Hardware merch. SIRIUS XM’s Jose Mangin will be broadcasting “Dime Day” live from the event; an annual 24-hr broadcast celebrating Dimebag and his music which includes tributes and stories from fellow musicians and fans. Mangin will also bring the VinDime limo (aka “White Fang”)—a restored 1997 Lincoln Town Car stretch limousine previously owned by Dimebag and Pantera co-founder/drummer Vinnie Paul—for fans to sit in and take photos with. There will also be a special acoustic performance from rock’n’roll group OF LIMBO during the event.

MARKS ADDS U.S. TOUR DATES THIS FALL WITH THEORY OF A DEADMAN

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.

Watch the music video below or directly via YouTube HERE.

“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.”

MARKS will be headed to the U.S. this fall opening for multi-platinum rock Theory of A Deadman. The tour stretches from October 29 to November 23 and will see MARKS performing an acoustic set featuring music from SORRY FOR NOTHING alongside past hits. MARKS has previously toured North America with a blend of artists including Five Finger Death Punch, ZZ Top, and Brantley Gilbert, while also having joined Nickelback on the main stage at the annual Boots and Hearts festival in Toronto in 2023. Tickets are available now HERE. See full dates listed below.

ABOUT MORNINGSTAR MUSIC PRODUCTIONS:

Morningstar Music Productions was created by executive producers and longtime great friends Rodger Glaspey and Ken Leister. The two partners performed in groups that recorded albums during the 70’s as collegians during the Folk/Rock invasion. Producer and musician Carl Jackson approached Rodger and Ken with the desire to produce an album to honor Chet Atkins. The temptation to executive produce an album in Nashville paying homage to Chet Atkins with some of the finest artists and guitar players in the world including Vince Gill, Tommy Emmanuel, Brad Paisley, and other greats was too captivating to pass up… and thus, Morningstar Music Productions was born, with their first album release We Still Can’t Say Good Bye – A Musicians’ Tribute To Chet Atkins was released April 19.

BILLY MORRISON X MARK WEISS:
A COLLECTION OF ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY
BASED ON THE IMAGES OF MARK WEISS

PUBLIC OPENING AT MOTOR CARS LOS ANGELES SHOWROOM
SET FOR SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21,
TO BE PRECEDED BY VIP PREVIEW
ON SEPTEMBER 19 AND SEPTEMBER 20

L-R: Mark Weiss and Billy Morrison

Recording artist and contemporary fine artist BILLY MORRISON and world-renowned photographer MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS will come together for one weekend only—September 19, 20, and 21 at the iconic Motor Cars LA Showroom in Hollywood, CA—to showcase a series of paintings by Morrison, based on the images photographed by Weiss. Billed as “A Moment In Time,” the event is presented by X5 Podcast and Motor Cars LA. See a few images below.

There are 12 unique canvas pieces from Morrison, and high-end editions of the same photographs from Weiss, with a special 13th painting and prints going to support mental health, suicide prevention and trauma counseling through the Above Ground charity spearheaded by Morrison and Dave Navarro, Jane’s Addiction’s guitarist.

The public viewing is set for September 21, to be preceded by the VIP Preview on September 19, and September 20 which will feature a Q+A from both artists. There will be a live stream at Thursday’s red carpet event from the X5 Podcast team. At this event, Rock N Roll and Fine Art collide with multi-million-dollar supercars in the entertainment capital of the world. See the event details—and read an illuminating Q&A with Morrison and Weiss—below.

BILLY MORRISON has developed successful careers in multiple genres, as a rock guitarist (with Billy Idol for the past 15 years), a solo recording artist, and as a contemporary fine artist. Self-study and experimentation are the essence of Morrison’s process, working with oil paints and spray in a Warhol-esque aesthetic. Morrison’s iconic style mimics the effects of multilayered screen printing through a street art approach with the use of stencils.

MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS is a world-renowned photographer who has traveled the globe photographing legends from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Mötley Crüe to Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS. Weiss’ inimitable photographs helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s.

Thursday, September 19, 6pm–9pm:
Party, red carpet, Q&A with both Morrison and Weiss, and acoustic performance by Billy Morrison & special guests.

Friday, September 20, 7pm-10pm:
VIP viewing, This Friday night event will feature a Q+A with both Morrison and Weiss.

Q&A with Billy Morrison and Mark “Weissguy” Weiss

What inspired this collaboration of photography and art?

BILLY: As a fine art painter, there are certain rules about using images from photographers and in fact, some extremely interesting and high-profile court cases surrounding certain images. So when the opportunity was suggested to both of us by Charlie Reece (X5 Podcast) that Mark and I could close that gap between photographer and artist by doing a collaborative show, we both jumped at the chance.

MARK: When Charlie presented this opportunity to collaborate with Billy on creating new life for 12 of my classic photographs, I was ecstatic. Billy is bringing an added dimension and new appreciation to a dozen of my favorites. I spent the eighties hopping from one tour bus to another, shooting press photos and creating album covers, having a blast. Whenever I photographed a band in the ‘80s, it was like gaining a bunch of new friends. 40 years later, it feels good to get that feeling again with Billy.”

Billy—maybe you can isolate a few of the paintings and tell us your thoughts about them?

BILLY: Obviously painting my boss, Billy Idol, is quite intimidating! You don’t want to get that wrong! But Mark’s photograph of Billy during the Rebel Yell days is so iconic and so widely used, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to paint it. Tom Petty is another painting that was quite intimidating to paint, as we shared management and there are a bunch of ties between the Idol camp and the Petty camp. Finally, the Ozzy Osbourne painting obviously felt strange to do, considering my multi-decade friendship with the man, but I chose a very different and endearing shot that Mark took, Sharon has seen the finished painting and approved, and you will have to come to the show to see it!

Mark—perhaps you can give us some words about the final results of the collaboration…that is, seeing your photographs painted?

MARK: When deciding which images he would work on, we both seemed to gravitate towards the same ones. Billy’s close friendship with the Prince of Darkness makes this extra special, as Ozzy and Sharon had taken me around the world and welcomed me into their family when I was starting my career. I am looking forward to the gallery event when I, too, will see the paintings for the first time!

Your collaboration has cultural relevance, noting that photographer Lynn Goldsmith recently won her lawsuit against the Andy Warhol Estate. So it’s terrific to know that there is a collaboration in this scenario between the photographer and the painter. Can you share your thoughts about this?

BILLY: I completely understand that a photographer owns the copyright to that image, but I believe there are many ways that the subject of that image, as well as artists like myself, can collaborate and create more effectively with the photographer. Iconic images will always be a subject of creativity, and I believe that by teaming up with Mark, we are showing what can be achieved with co-operation, creative dialogue and a desire to share those images in different ways with the world.

“Life’s a trip, and everyone’s on something…some just choose a different kind of dope. I choose hope!”
– CROSSBONE SKULLY frontman TOMMY HENRIKSEN

“Everyone’s On Dope” is the sixth new track and video from the rising rock outfit following consecutive releases “Money, Sex, or God,” “I Am The Wolf,” “The Boom Went The Boom (feat. Phil Collen),” “I’m Unbreakable,” and “Evil World Machine.” To date CROSSBONE SKULLY has garnered over 1 million streams. All tracks were executive produced by the legendary Mutt Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams) who came out of retirement for this project.

CROSSBONE SKULLY acts as a multidimensional project and is also the namesake of the band’s mascot and main character, an avenging superhero from outer space who’s on a mission to return to earth to save the world. His plight was shared with the launch of a graphic novel and animated film, “Thing #1,” which premiered at Fan Expo in 2023. For the film, HENRIKSEN enlisted several of his bandmates and friends for voiceovers on both the album and the upcoming film including A-list actor Johnny Depp and rock icons including Alice Cooper, Nikki Sixx, Joe Perry, Kane Roberts and Mark Wilkinson.

“As experiences go, signing Finger Eleven backstage on a Latvian NATO base after they just played to a squadron of Canadian military is one that’ll I’ll never forget (see picture),” shares Better Noise Music CEO Dan Waite. “It is also an appropriate analogy, as at Better Noise Music we will combine forces to bring their music to the world through our global staff and offices, from Australia to Toronto. We’ll be working them hard at radio and streaming and using our skills in artist development to expand their already large audience. ‘Adrenaline’ is an appropriate first song for us, as the whole team including Managers Dave Morris and Zeke Myers are pumped up for the new music which they will be debuting on their USA Tour with Creed.”

“We are incredibly psyched to have F11 join the Better Noise family,” says Better Noise Music President/COO Steve Kline. “The music from their new album is next level and we can’t wait to start the rollout around this massive tour. The initial response from our partners has been overwhelmingly positive. We can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
