My collection of bronze and silver age comics is very large with many key issues and someday I will share it with the world. I have been an avid collector for decades and I am honored to appear at Comic-Con! If only to get a couple new Incredible Hulk shirts! Looking forward to seeing YOU at Comic-Con!!!”

The appearance comes as BACH wraps his summer 2024 tour in support of his latest album CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN (and first solo effort in 10 years) The album has yielded four singles, all of which have impacted the rock charts: Freedom,” “What Do I Got To Lose?,” “Everybody Bleeds,” and “(Hold On) To The Dream.”

CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACH wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album. The album artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by BACH’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” SEBASTIAN says.

“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 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!”

HARDCASTLE

“A million eyes watching, judging me
So tell me why I’m losing sleep, no dreaming
Anxious thoughts come creeping
All the time
Can anybody rescue me?”
– “Paranoiac” lyrics

Post indie rock outfit HARDCASTLE blend compelling melodies, introspective lyrics, and passion on their upcoming EP CIRCUIT due September 13 via MNRK / Liminal Records. CIRCUIT was produced by Oscar, Golden Globe and multiple Grammy Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance) with mastering completed by Howie Weinberg (U2, Smashing Pumpkins) and mixing from Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons).

HARDCASTLE will release CIRCUIT’s second track—the urgent and dark anthem “Paranoiac”—this Friday, July 12, across digital platforms; pre-save it HERE. The song was recorded with guitarist Tim Pierce (Shinedown, Bon Jovi) who also lent his guitar skills on several other tracks throughout the EP. HARDCASTLE have today (July 11) shared its mind-altering music video which was co-directed by founding member, songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Graham Laderman. Watch the “Paranoiac” music video now via the band’s YouTube HERE or streaming below.

CIRCUIT chronicles the highs and lows of LADERMAN’s musical journey capturing dark subjects such as mental health struggles and toxic relationships as well as sharing his story of healing, self-discovery, and evolving dreams into reality. HARDCASTLE was originally formed in Nashville in 2018 and saw the band release a series of tracks including hit singles “Mundane” and “Back To You” which combined accumulated over 10 million streams to date and a sold-out tour across the U.S. opening for The Band Camino in 2019. In 2020, Covid hit and its impact forced the dissolution of the band and led to LADERMAN relocating to LA to try to figure out a new path. Shortly after arriving, he was connected with Rob and Lisa Cavallo at Done Deal Management and reformed HARDCASTLE with a refreshed line-up and authentic sound.

HARDCASTLE released the first sample of new music in May with the emotionally gripping and sonically massive “Hostage” and celebrated its release with a sold-out show at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles alongside Levi Evans. “Hardcastle play indie rock at its finest and most compelling,” said Highwire Daze of the show. “Graham Laderman is such a dynamic, expressive front man who really knows how to bring the listener into his very relatable world of thoughtful, empowering lyrics.” HARDCASTLE will next perform as headliners at the famed Viper Room on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, CA on September 20 following the release of CIRCUIT.

LAURA PURSELL’s New Video And Cover Of “Ode To Billy Joe” – The Bobbie Gentry Song Celebrates Its 57 Year Anniversary Today (July 10, 1967)

DATE: JULY 10, 2024

FROM: LYNDIE WENNER, MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

LAURA PURSELL
TODAY (JULY 10) RELEASES NEW VIDEO AND SINGLE:
COVER OF “ODE TO BILLY JOE,”
THE 8 X GRAMMY-NOMINATED AND MULTI-GENRE TOP 10 HIT
BY BOBBIE GENTRY THAT WILL CELEBRATE ITS 57-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE SONG’S JULY 10, 1967 RELEASE

“ODE TO BILLY JOE” IS FEATURED ON LAURA PURSELL’S RECENTLY RELEASED ALBUM ‘SHOOTING STAR’ ON THE NETCOM MUSIC LABEL

LISTEN TO THE SINGLE HERE AND WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Ode To Billy Joe – Single Artwork

Nashville singer/songwriter LAURA PURSELL today (July 10) releases the video and single of her interpretation of the classic Bobby Gentry song “Ode To Billy Joe.” This marks the second single from her current album SHOOTING STAR on Netcom Music (September 2023). Listen to LAURA’s sultry-southern cover of the song HERE and watch the YouTube video HERE.

On July 10, “Ode to Billy Joe” will celebrate the 57-year anniversary of the song’s release in 1967. It was written and recorded by BOBBIE GENTRY, and five weeks after its release, topped Billboard’s Pop Singles chart and appeared in the top 10 charts of the Adult Contemporary and Hot R&B singles charts, as well as in the top 20 of the Hot Country Songs list. The song was the title track on Gentry’s 1967 Capitol Records debut album and nominated for eight Grammy Awards and appeared on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and Greatest Country Songs lists. In 2023, the song was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry.

“Ode To Billy Joe” was one of the songs recorded on what LAURA refers to as the “LA Sessions.” On the evening of March 16, 2020, when she and her band (consisting of drummer Chris Ross, bassist Jeff Takaguchi, and pianist Rick Hils) were told to fold up and leave the stage of a Burbank, CA venue they had a performing residence at, the city of Los Angeles was shutting down at midnight due to a Covid-19 pandemic mandate. Laura shares, “Not being able to perform live or leave LA and to keep myself and the band from going bonkers, we created our own little creative bubble and started looking for hidden gems to cover and possibly record. ‘Ode To Billy Joe’ has always been one of my favorite songs. So, I’m really excited to celebrate the anniversary of its release and am thrilled to have added this song to my latest album ‘Shooting Star.” The video was premiered July 8 at Americana Highways.

During that time of the LA lockdown, LAURA and her band began to meet daily in her living room at the Studio City, CA home she was living in at that time, to rehearse and keep their chops up, work on new tunes, and figure out the road ahead. Laura and her band recorded a collection of songs at producer and guitarist Kenny Meriedeth’s Deep End Music Studios in Burbank, setting their focus on material from the Americana, country and roots rock idioms. LAURA shares, “Recording this collection of songs kept us all somewhat sane and energized.”

Halfway through recording the material, the Nashville native’s beloved father Bill Pursell—a respected Nashville pianist, composer, and orchestrator/arranger—passed away from Covid-19. The LA sessions and what would eventually become the album SHOOTING STAR was shelved indefinitely, and LAURA drove back to Nashville to mourn the loss of her father and musical mentor, and to settle his estate and solidify his musical legacy. In the fall of 2021, LAURA picked up where she and the band had left off, heading back to So. California to finish recording the LA sessions. Out of dozens of recorded tracks, 10 songs were chosen for inclusion for what is now her latest album SHOOTING STAR, an ode to loss and memory. Listen to the album HERE. The first single and title track from SHOOTING STAR was written by Bob Dylan and appeared on his 1989 album ‘OH MERCY.’ Watch the video filmed in downtown Nashville HERE.

Recently, Pursell was invited on the SOMEONE YOU SHOULD KNOW Podcast by the show’s host Rik Anthony who says: “In the heart of Nashville, amidst the echoes of country music legends, stands a luminary in her own right. Laura Pursell was born into country music royalty as the daughter of a pioneer in the creation of the iconic ‘Nashville Sound.’ Pursell’s journey is steeped in heritage and talent.” Listen HERE.

“The premise of ‘Turnin’ On A Dime’ has a dark twist to it, with a warning to watch your back and protect those that you care about, as life is full of people trying to get what they want at your expense,” declares JASON EBS. “‘Not at my expense’ is one of my favorite quotes and is a mantra by which we live. Our belief is that if you’re lucky enough to have a tribe of trustworthy people around you, then we all need to watch each other’s backs in life. To me, that’s what a band is all about—it’s an extended musical family of people creating and watching out for each other as we tour through life,” he adds. “I learned this early on in my career while singing for Peter Criss on the ‘Bad Boys Tours’. When we’d get ready for the road, he’d say ‘Ok boys, we’re going to battle so we need to all look out for each other.’ So, that’s what we did, and the philosophy stuck.”

JASON continues to share how the song’s message is relayed in the “Turnin’ On A Dime” video: “In the video, there is a Death-masked Man that symbolizes a dark force that lurks among our tribe, shaking hands while secretly brandishing a dagger. This entity represents those who smile upon you while preparing to stab you in the back to get what they desire. There’s a scene where Janea has my back, saving me from the creature who administers poison, representing what we do for the people that we care about on a daily basis. I think that we can all relate to somebody from our inner circle turning against us at some point in our lives. With friends like that, who needs enemies? Mean people suck…”

SWAGGERMOUTH have also announced two upcoming free shows as part of the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, SD at Kickstands on Wednesday, August 7 and Thursday, August 8. See the below flyer for details. For the live performances, JASON and JANEA will be joined by their live band including drummer Billy Kesner, bassist Joseph Nile and keyboard wizard Borgi.

NEVER SHUT UP was produced, mixed, and mastered by JASON at his newly acquired Dragon Castle Studios, named to honor its previous owner’s platinum-selling rockers Imagine Dragons. It was co-written by JASON, JANEA, and Chris Slade (AC/DC) who also recorded drums for a majority of the album. The debut track “Let It Roll” was released in May and received airplay on SIRIUS XM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard channel. Across NEVER SHUT UP’s 11 tracks, SWAGGERMOUTH channel their ‘controlled chaos’ sound which mixes heavy rock anthems with slammin’ pop melodies. Pre-order it now HERE.
