[LOS ANGELES CA, August 8, 2025] Platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio-charting BAD WOLVES (@badwolvesofficial) will release a special deluxe edition of their album ‘DIE ABOUT IT’ on September 19. The Better Noise Music release will contain nine new tracks, including a rebooted “Say It Again” featuring Lauri Ylönen, frontman of The Rasmus, the 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking Finnish rock outfit. Listen to the song, out today (August 8), HERE and watch the video HERE. Pre-orders of the album are available HERE. See the track listing below.

Bad Wolves drummer and founder, John Boecklin, shared about the track: “This song has always meant a lot to me—I’ve always loved it—but I never expected it to evolve the way it did with The Rasmus. In my opinion, it’s some of the best lyricism on the album, and I’m really glad it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves. It’s truly some of our best work.”

“This song hit me hard and energized me,” says Ylönen. “It used to be one of my top workout songs before I got to sing on it!”

Originally released on November 3, 2023, via Better Noise Music, “DIE ABOUT IT” showcases 14 tracks—including “Hungry For Life” (feat. Daughtry)–that push the band’s sound in new directions, blending heavy riffs and distinctive melodies. The album has surpassed 32 million streams, with accompanying videos amassing over 3.8 million views.

“We’re proud to announce ‘DIE ABOUT IT (DELUXE),’” says John Boecklin. “It’s fun for us to be able to continue celebrating the ‘DIE ABOUT IT’ album in this way. It gives us a chance to revisit our material with a different perspective and refresh the release that we’re still in love with. There are songs that were written during the album sessions that you never got to hear and some fun reinterpretations of tracks that you’ve already heard. Lots to dig in on here, see you soon Wolfpack!”

ABOUT BAD WOLVES

BAD WOLVES arrived with the rarity and the force of a lightning bolt in 2018 with their chart-topping version of The Cranberries‘ “Zombie.” This collective of tried-and-true musicians rallied around an unconventional vision for heavy music, grafting rafter-reaching hooks to pit-splitting riffs and mind-bending rhythms with a penchant for unexpected twists and turns. Their full-length debut, “DISOBEY”, bowed in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200 and delivered a platinum single and a gold single. On its heels, they showed no signs of stopping with “N.A.T.I.O.N.” [2019]. However, “DEAR MONSTERS” kickstarted another season in 2021 as “Lifeline” netted their sixth #1 at Active Rock Radio. Reaching a critical high, Billboard hailed the latter as “Bad Wolves’ most diverse and far-reaching album to date.” Reaching over 2.7 billion total streams, and over 800 million video views, they’ve sold out headline shows on multiple continents and toured with everyone from Papa Roach and Hollywood Undead to Volbeat.

NOTHING MORE (@nothingmoremusic), the boundary-pushing 3x-Grammy-nominated outfit, continues to build an impressive head of steam, landing four #1 singles from a single album. With this chart distinction, the band joins a special group of artists including Metallica, Linkin Park, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, and Falling In Reverse who’ve achieved the same honor.

With “FREEFALL” (feat. Chris Daughtry),” NOTHING MORE—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—have returned this week to the #1 spot on the Billboard “Mainstream Rock Airplay” and Mediabase “Active Rock” charts.

“FREEFALL” is the fourth single from their critically acclaimed CARNAL album via Better Noise Music to vault into the #1 position following “HOUSE ON SAND” (feat. Eric Vanlerberghe from I Prevail),” “ANGEL SONG (feat. David Draiman),” and “IF IT DOESN’T HURT.” Watch the new performance video cut of “FREEFALL” HERE.

“It’s been incredible to see a song that means so much to us resonate with so many of you,” says the band’s Daniel Oliver. “We’re very honored to have Chris Daughtry lend his voice and spirit to this one. Huge thanks to K9s For Warriors for the amazing work you do, and to everyone else who helped bring this song to life. You’ve taken us to the top of the charts for the 4th time in a row!”

“It’s a privilege to celebrate this win with a band I admire and love so much!” says Chris Daughtry.

NOTHING MORE blend a full-on assault with soaring melodies and unique soundscapes in songs that unflinchingly embrace raw emotion. CARNAL has to date amassed 133 million streams. The album received praise for being “one of the band’s most eclectic releases to date” (Blabbermouth) and having 15 “energized rock anthems that capture the band’s infectious live prowess” (Knotfest).

The deluxe edition of CARNAL was released across all digital outlets on March 28 and is also available on CD and vinyl. Five other bonus tracks on CARNAL (DELUXE) include a live version of the “ANGEL SONG” recorded from the band’s set at Aftershock Festival 2024 where NOTHING MORE was joined onstage by guest vocalist David Draiman of Disturbed; two remixed songs from Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria) and Justin “JD” Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White); plus a new song that was released February 7, “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.” A new version of the bracing “FREEFALL,” featuring 6x Platinum-certified rock artist Chris Daughtry, was released March 28 on all digital outlets. The “FREEFALL” video movingly tells the story about a firefighter who is struggling with his mental health and unexpectedly finds a new life-direction after making a chance connection with a homeless dog. Watch it on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube page.

The video for “FREEFALL (feat. Chris Daughtry)”—filmed in Clifton, Tennessee—features the town’s fire chief and sheriff, who also served as technical advisors on the subject matter. In casting for this narrative-driven video, the band prioritized collaborating with individuals who understand the unique challenges faced by firefighters and first responders. To ensure even more authenticity, they enlisted real-life heroes as technical advisors. Additionally, director/actor Michael Lombardi was asked by the band to star in the video because of his personal experience and affiliation with firefighters. Lombardi is well-known for his role as a series regular in the acclaimed FX series “Rescue Me,” which aired for 100 episodes and received multiple Golden Globe and Emmy nominations and wins and delved into the lives of firefighters grappling with real-life issues, including the aftermath of 9/11 trauma and personal struggles.

NOTHING MORE partnered with K9s For Warriors for the release of “FREEFALL (feat. Chris Daughtry),” which is the nation’s leading provider of highly trained Service Dogs for Veterans with invisible wounds of war. As a part of its mission, K9s’ Station Dog program partners with law enforcement and first responder agencies to provide reliable, high quality therapy dogs that offer emotional support to officers, firefighters, dispatchers, victims, and others exposed to trauma in the line of duty. Every day in the U.S., approximately 20 Veterans take their own lives, while more than 1,000 dogs are euthanized. Determined to end Veteran suicide, K9s For Warriors provides highly-trained Service Dogs—many of them rescues—to military Veterans suffering from PTSD or traumatic brain injury at no financial cost to the Veteran. Since 2011, K9s For Warriors has graduated more than 1,000 Warriors and rescued more than 2,000 dogs.

In connection with the song and video release, the band features pet-related merchandise on its official website, with a portion of proceeds supporting organizations like K9s For Warriors. Additionally, a donation link is included in the video, allowing for donations to be made directly to the organization’s website. NOTHING MORE has raised the goal of $20,000 which is what it costs to sponsor, rescue and train a station dog.

FINGER ELEVEN (@finger_eleven) one of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time, are experiencing a vibrant, full circle moment. The multi-platinum Juno Award-winning group—Scott Anderson (vocals), James Black (lead guitar, backing vocals), Rick Jackett (rhythm guitar), Sean Anderson (bass), Steve Molella (drums)—criss-crossed America last summer with long-time former labelmates Creed, revisiting the summer of ‘99. “People were just smiling the whole time—it was contagious,” guitarist Rick Jackett declares. “We forgot we had so many friends in America. That was a cool feeling.”

That infectious, invigorating energy helped FINGER ELEVEN enthusiastically complete their first new studio album in a decade, LAST NIGHT ON EARTH, primed for a November 7 release via Better Noise Music, their first with the label. Pre-orders are available now HERE. Today (August 1), they’ve released the album’s second single and video, the thunderous “Blue Sky Mystery” featuring Richard Patrick from Filter. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

Vocalist Scott Anderson notes that the chorus had a heavy Black Sabbath vibe, and the band maintained that throughout the song’s evolution even as the verses underwent a larger transformation. Changes even came in at the eleventh hour of mixing, but they got the song they wanted. He wrote lyrics for “Blue Sky Mystery” about burrowing into the rabbit hole of a deep obsession. “The more it’s in front of you, the less you understand it, the more you’re obsessed with it,” he says. “You can’t get your mind around it, or away from it.”

“‘Blue Sky Mystery’ was originally called ‘10 Ton Saber,’” as guitarist James Black recalls. “I just pictured some guy in Star Wars with an enormous, bazooka-sized lightsaber.”

“Working with Scott, James, Rick, Sean and Steve could not have gone smoother. They are good guys and total pros,” says Filter singer Richard Patrick. “Coincidentally, Filter is also celebrating its 30th Anniversary and we’ve never had the opportunity to work with FINGER ELEVEN before, save for an appearance at a festival together somewhere. Recording ‘Blue Sky Mystery’ was a lot of fun.”

Last year, fans got the first taste of LAST NIGHT ON EARTH via the high-octane “Adrenaline” (which reached the Top 20 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart) and a video that’s reached over 176k views on YouTube. The song also reached #2 on the Active Rock chart in Canada, where the song held strong in the Top 5 for over 4 months and is still inside the Top 20 one year after release. “As we were making LAST NIGHT ON EARTH, there was this feeling that we were making a big rock record,” guitarist Rick Jackett recalls. “We had done that early in our career, and then we veered away from it. But it was time to go back and embrace that bigness of the sound. Even the soft songs sound big.”

FINGER ELEVEN have always amalgamated their musical influences from the 1960s forward into their rock mix. They acknowledge that Phil Collins and Genesis were a big melodic influence on LAST NIGHT ON EARTH. And the new tunes explore time-honored FINGER ELEVEN concepts with fresh twists. While “Adrenaline” is a rousing, intense anthem about pushing forward against adversity, “Blue Sky Mystery” is another hard-hitting rocker about being beguiled by something just out of reach. Further into the album, “The Mountain” rides musical peaks and valleys in its quest to chase the song, about the creative process expressed in a fantasy setting. Then there is the acoustic number “Last Night On Earth,” which tackles relationship turmoil. It’s the most personal new track for frontman Scott Anderson.

Originally from Burlington, Ontario and now based mostly out of Toronto, FINGER ELEVEN have released a series of consecutive hit albums and become among the greatest live bands to ever emerge from the great White North. Their self-titled debut album broke the band into the international mainstream, achieving Gold status in the United States and Platinum in Canada, and smashing the first single “One Thing,” across the radio and Billboard charts. Their 2007 album, THEM VS. YOU VS. ME, launched the single “Paralyzer,” setting radio records in the U.S., peaking at #1 internationally and going 5x Platinum, the band’s second million-plus seller. They won the Juno Award for Rock Album the following year and set an incredible run at rock radio, with an unbeaten #14 weeks at the top spot. LIFE TURNS ELECTRIC, was nominated for a Juno Award for Best Rock Album of the Year. 2015’s FIVE CROOKED LINES continued to electrify audiences the world over and their 2023 GREATEST HITS includes their biggest smash hit in a decade, “Together Right,” which topped the radio charts for an amazing five-week run at #1.

After rocking a busy festival season this summer, FINGER ELEVEN will hit the U.S. with Alien Ant Farm and Brkn Love for a flurry of concerts leading up to the new album’s release. This will be followed by their biggest Canadian tour ever, with fellow native sons Headstones and Tea Party joining them. Tickets are available now on the band’s official website.

What Was It Like Representing Ozzy Osbourne?

When you worked as a publicist for Ozzy Osbourne, you had his full attention + respect.

Whenever I saw Ozzy, the first thing he would say was, “Show me pictures of your daughter.” That’s who he was. And I’ll always remember when Ozzy and Sharon gifted Sorrell Schneider with stock in Disney when she was born.

📌 Thank you Stephanie Cabral for sending along this photo you captured of me talking to Ozzy—with Sharon and my partner Marcee Rondan in the frame—outside the Hollywood Palladium at a pop-up promo event for Ozzfest in 2017.

BRIAN SETZER: “What blows me away every time is how this music still connects — decades later, it’s just as raw, just as real. We see fans from every generation now.”

LEE ROCKER: “There’s nothing like the sound we make when the three of us hit the stage–it’s high-octane rockabilly, loud and proud. We’re fired up to bring that to fans across the country again!”

SLIM JIM PHANTOM: “HOLY MACKEREL! The Cats are back for a very, special indoor tour. I’m thrilled and excited to be on the road in 2025 with the best Rockabilly band in the world! These are the venues where the Cats sound best and one thing I can guarantee 100%…We Will Rock Your Town!!”

These shows follow 2024’s critically acclaimed summer tour. Here’s some critical feedback from those shows:

“Setzer has retained his smooth vocals and still stung when he played lead guitar…Stray Cats demonstrated that the core of the band’s appeal is that the three musicians have stuck to one sound and continue to do it well.”
–Charley Crespo, Aquarian Weekly, 8/19/24 (on 8/15 New York City Show)

“From the moment they stepped on stage, guitarist Brian Setzer, drummer Slim Jim Phantom and upright bassist Lee Rocker tore through song after song at a breakneck pace.”
–Sean Reiter, SF Bay Area Concerts, 8/1/24 (on 7/30 Saratoga, CA Show)

“As Stray Cats came out onstage, the whole place started raging! It was seriously cool (not to mention nostalgic) watching everyone in the crowd singing along to songs I’ve been listening to for 40 years!”
–Sean McCracken, Top Shelf Music Mag, 8/9/24 (on 8/1 Costa Mesa, CA Show)

“As the final notes of ‘Rock This Town’ echoed through the amphitheater, the audience erupted into applause, clearly not ready for the night to end. Stray Cats, ever the showmen, returned for an encore, closing with a fiery rendition of ‘Rumble in Brighton,’ leaving the crowd exhilarated and satisfied.”
–Kevin Rolfe, Utah Concert Review, 8/22/24 (on 8/5 Salt Lake City, UT Show)

“They expertly blended their most well-known material like the immortal hits ‘Rock This Town’ and ‘Stray Cut Strut’ with lesser-known tunes… All three band members were in fine form…”
–Matthew Berlyant, Under The Radar Magazine, 9/2/24 (on 8/15 New York City Show)

About the STRAY CATS:

The STRAY CATS, the band that put Rockabilly music back on the record charts in the early ’80s, scored several big hits on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a striking visual 1950’s style brought “up to date” with exaggerated pompadours and colorful tattoos and as well as genuine musical chops that evoked the best players of rockabilly’s original heyday. Formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, NY, in 1979, the trio shared a love for Rockabilly music. After banging around New York for a few months, in the summer of 1980, and seeing a pompadoured kid on the cover of UK magazine NME, they hopped a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge. Their massive hits and videos include “Runaway Boys,” “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut” “(She’s) Sexy + 17,” and “I Won’t Stand in Your Way.”

“We live for this emptiness feeling of pleasure
We get so sick
We’re happiest under the weather
Poison in our veins
Dying for a taste
‘Cause we’re birds of a feather
So we suffer together
–“New Disease”

All eyes are on the explosive alt-metal outfit FROM ASHES TO NEW (@FromAshesToNew). They’ve already made their mark as a hugely successful band with a #1-charting album—2023’s BLACKOUT (Better Noise Music)—which landed the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. Artistically, the Lancaster, PA outfit have made impact with a distinctive amalgam of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative music, combined with songs that bracingly capture their generation’s anxieties.

FROM ASHES TO NEW—Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), Jimmy Bennett (guitar)—are now back with the powerful “New Disease,” an unflinching song about the dangers of trend jumping. Released today (July 25) ahead of their Warped Tour appearance on July 27 in Long Beach, CA, the track marks their first new offering since “Live Before I’m Dead (Hours),” one of the six bonus tracks appearing on the June 2024 release of the companion BLACKOUT (DELUXE) album. Listen to “New Disease,” released via Better Noise Music, HERE and watch the video HERE.

“New Disease” intensifies FROM ASHES TO NEW’s sound and vision and is primed to galvanize their growing fanbase. “Every day there’s a new trend,” says the band’s Matt Brandyberry about the song’s theme. “Every day there’s a new wave of people going out of their way to be recognized no matter the cost. We are hypnotized by our vices…we will kill ourselves to be noticed.”

The BLACKOUT album was an important statement for FROM ASHES TO NEW, acting as a prequel to the band’s 2016 debut album DAY ONE. Garnering over 278 million lifetime global total streams including nearly 20 million video streams, the album mirrored the angst and unrest the world felt during the 2020 pandemic, at which time it was written, while delivering a fresh spin on their myriad influences that broke FROM ASHES TO NEW onto the scene. BLACKOUT garnered various critical accolades. Upon its release, MXDWN proclaimed that BLACKOUT is “melodic, emotive and undeniably powerful” (MXDWN, August 2023), while Knotfest raved: “There’s an exciting immediacy to their sound that recalls the music renaissance of the late 90s and early 2000s… It’s that sweet spot of mass appeal where there’s a little something for everyone, be it From Ashes to New’s hip-hop side, their heavier metallic side, or their arena-sized choruses.” (KNOTFEST, January 2023)

FROM ASHES TO NEW are set for three key shows—the above-mentioned Warped Tour, July 27 in Long Beach, CA and November 15 in Orlando, FL, and the Louder Than Life festival September 18 in Louisville, KY—ahead of their much-anticipated headlining “New Disease Tour.” It launches September 20 at Delmar Hall in St. Louis, with support from Magnolia Park, Until I Wake, and Not Enough Space. Produced by Live Nation, the trek will also make stops across the U.S. including Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta, and more before wrapping November 14 in Fort Lauderdale at Revolution Live.
