SABATON is the #1 GLOBAL POWER METAL BAND and one of Sweden’s biggest acts with 4 billion streams on Spotify alone. On April 25, they will unveil the single and video “Templars” as the first release from their first Better Noise Music album.

Since their 2005 debut album, they’ve released 10 studio albums (some of which have been certified as Gold, Platinum, and even Quadruple Platinum), seen eight of its albums score Top 10 international chart status, and six claim the Top 5.

“We’re truly excited to begin this new chapter with Better Noise Music,” Pär Sundström comments. “After exploring various record labels worldwide, we found Better Noise to be the perfect fit. As an independent label, they haven’t traditionally focused on our style of heavy metal, making this collaboration particularly exciting. We’re excited to see how this partnership develops, confident that they’re ready to embrace the challenge of working with a band that brings a unique sound to their roster.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome SABATON to our roster,” says Lexie Viklund, the label’s Director of A&R. “Their powerful music and storytelling have resonated with fans worldwide, and we’re eager to amplify their presence in the U.S. while continuing to grow their global impact.”

These tracks are all taken from the album Weirdo, arriving September 12 and marking their 11^th studio album and first for Better Noise Music. The Rasmus have also generated an impressive 829 million global career streams. They’ll bring their unforgettable stage show to audiences worldwide in 2025 on the “Weirdo Tour,” including a run with The Funeral Portrait in the U.S. which began April 18.

“Working with Better Noise has been splendid, as we share the same mindset. The fact that they focus on long-term artist careers rather than just one single release aligns perfectly with what we strive for at Backbone Management. Their dedication to A&R, meticulous planning, and ensuring that everything is in place has been truly impressive. I am very much looking forward to a long-term relationship with Better Noise and taking The Rasmus’ already successful career to new heights.”

YELLOWCARD, one of the most influential bands in 2000s alternative rock, is now working on a new album for 2025 with producer Travis Barker. It will mark the Florida originating group’s first album of new material since 2016. They’ve sold over 3 million albums worldwide, earned over 1 billion global streams, and toured extensively across six continents. After officially disbanding in 2017, YELLOWCARD reunited in 2022 for the 20th anniversary of Ocean Avenue and have since reentered a new creative era. Read more info about YELLOWCARD below.

“We are so excited to work with Better Noise Music on this new chapter for Yellowcard. After an unreal celebration of the Ocean Avenue 20 Year Anniversary, we are very grateful to have partners that believe in this band as much as we do. These are the most epic songs we’ve ever recorded, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to put them out into the world!”

Kristen Worden Harris – Le Grand Music – Manager – YELLOWCARD

IN THIS MOMENT: Since 2005, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated and influential act has presided over a diehard fan base under the watch of “mother” figure and frontwoman Maria Brink—joined by co-founder and lead guitarist Chris Howorth, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel, and drummer Kent Diimmel. The band is now working on their ninth album and first for Better Noise, with tracks starting to drop in 2025. To date, in addition to the Gold-selling album, Blood [2012], the quintet has garnered six Gold and Platinum singles, followed by a trifecta of Top 25 entries on the Billboard 200 with Black Widow [2014] and Ritual [2017]. Between selling out headline tours coast-to-coast, the group performed in arenas everywhere alongside Disturbed and appeared at countless festivals from Lollapalooza to Sonic Temple. Read more info about them below.

Commenting on the new signings, Better Noise CEO Dan Waite says “Better Noise is truly committed to utilizing the label’s knowledge and expertise to elevate each band to greater commercial heights. We are getting several enquiries from household name bands after 5 years as #1 rock radio label, from acts feeling overlooked in the major label system, or wanting to spread their success outside their home market and grow globally. When artists follow our system, it doesn’t matter if you are Five Finger Death Punch, Mötley Crüe, Papa Roach, or Nothing More, Dirty Heads, Bad Wolves, The Funeral Portrait, or From Ashes to New, together we have the most success in their career to date. When artists follow our systems, which is a unique system, and sometimes scary for artists, once they see the results they go all in. The ones that tell us early on that they are not going to follow our system, we choose not to get in business with.”

Steve Kline says Better Noise is ready to build on each band’s success and enable them to artistically and commercially thrive at their new home.

“We are beyond excited to welcome Yellowcard, Sabaton, The Rasmus, and In This Moment to the Better Noise family. These exceptional bands showcase the diversity and creativity that define our rich roster of rock and alternative artists. Each brings a proven global track record and a distinctive approach to rock music. We look forward to partnering with them and taking each band to the next level and beyond.

“With the resources gained from selling part of our catalog, we continue our growth by investing in both our current roster and groundbreaking new signings. As the premier artist development company, we’re proud to see The Funeral Portrait continue their upward trajectory—currently Top 10 at rock radio with their second single, ‘Holy Water,’ following the #1 success of their Better Noise debut single, ‘Suffocate City.'”

ABOUT JAKE MATTHEW

Jake Matthew is a rising star in Nashville’s legendary music scene, quickly making waves with a voice that resonates with deep soulfulness and Southern grit. Bursting onto the stage just three years ago. Jake has already cemented his status as a must-watch artist in the city that lives and breathes music. In a town where the competition is fierce and the talent is abundant, Jake has managed to stand out — not just as a resident artist, but as a leading figure at one of Broadway’s most talked-about venues, The Twelve Thirty Club. This is no small feat in a city known for its legendary honky-tonks and historic stages.

With a voice that captures the raw emotion of Chris Stapleton, the gritty edge of Greg Allman, and the Southern rock flair of Ronni Van Zant, Jake Matthew is redefining the sound of modern country. His music is a seamless fusion of today’s country rhythms and the classic, soul-stirring sound of vintage Muscle Shoals. It’s a style that feels both fresh and timeless, appealing to a wide range of listeners—from devoted fans to the newest listeners of the genre. Jake’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. In just a few short years, he has performed in front of hundreds of thousands, not just in Nashville but across North America and beyond. His magnetic stage presence and undeniable talent have drawn crowds from all walks of life, each performance adding to the buzz that surrounds him. What’s even more remarkable is that Jake has achieved all this without having yet released a single album. His momentum is a testament to his raw talent and the excitement he generates with each live performance. But that’s all about to change. With his debut studio album finished and awaiting release, the anticipation is electric. This record promises to be a defining moment in Jake Matthew’s career – a collection of songs that showcase his unique musical approach and solidify his place as one of the most exciting new artists in country music today. As he prepares to share his music with the world, there’s no doubt that Jake Matthew is on the cusp of something big. His journey from a newcomer to a rising star in Nashville has been a thrilling ride, and with his debut album on the horizon, he’s set to take the country music world by storm.

ABOUT BLUE LINE

Blue Line is an American Country cover-band from the small town of Oakdale, CA. Their set list is a blend of the latest hits as well as the “country-radio” classics!

Always the life of the party, Blue Line keeps the crowd dancing, while putting on an unforgettable performance.

Her first release, ‘Annie June’ in 2021, a collaboration with James Blundell reached the Top 10 on Australian Country Radio.

Her first US release, ‘The Two of Us Meet’ has garnered over 1.3 million streams, rising to #23 on the USA Music Row Indie Breakout Chart and debuting at #1 on the iTunes Australia Country Chart, with the song being the #2 streamed and downloaded song for Australian Country radio airplay (Country).

‘Follow My Road’ bought a confident narrative to the rising singer-songwriter story, as she ventured to Nashville to follow her musical dreams. ‘Bet On Us’ came next and grew her monthly listeners to over 100,000 on Spotify, whilst her most recent song, ‘Maybe So’ saw her featured as CountryTown’s Centrestage Artist.

There’s extra excitement around this gig as the set list will include songs from the band’s upcoming album, DÁMELO, on TLG / Virgin Music Group out this fall (more details TBA).

“I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited and proud to have, at this stage in my career, another opportunity to work with a team like the people at The Label Group and Virgin Music Group,” says FRANKY PEREZ, the charismatic singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and Vegas native. “I’ve released albums independently before, but it wasn’t an easy road. When it’s working right, the infrastructure of a major label is unmatched.”

He adds: “When I recorded the songs for this new album, I knew in my heart I had something special. I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t settle for anything less than a major release—and that anyone I brought on board had to understand the vision and, like me, be willing to do whatever it takes to bring this music to the people.”

I tapped into all of my influences for this album,” continues FRANKY, “but leaned heavily on my Latin roots. Still, I made it a point to keep the music accessible to everyone. Sometimes I dive straight into a Spanish chorus, but I intentionally set it up with English verses in a way that the message will resonate with everyone. With this album, I wanted to do what Santana did in the ’60s and ’70s—help the world experience another language and culture while feeling the joy of a deep Afro-Cuban rhythm. I often dream of people singing ‘Dámelo,’ the title track, back to me—and I truly believe that day will come.”

Anyone who’s seen the “Hot Vegas Nights” residency knows that FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS specialize in bringing the house down. FRANKY and his band—featuring eight accomplished musicians including ace guitarist Christian Brady; two background vocalists; and three dancers—are fierce and passionate, with a pumping horn section, congas, showgirl flair, soulful rocking songs, and Latin music reflecting FRANKY’s roots.

“My relationship with Station Casinos goes way back—well before this residency,” says FRANKY. “When I step into Rocks, it feels like an extension of my home. I think that feeling resonates with everyone who comes out to see the show. There’s a level of comfort and confidence on stage that only happens when everyone feels safe and is working with good intentions. Me, the band, and the Rocks crew are firing on all cylinders! Musically, we’ve carved out a unique identity in town, but that only comes from woodshedding in rehearsals and the countless hours we’ve spent on stage at Red Rock over the past year.”

Describing the show, FRANKY says: “I have a huge catalog of original music, and I’m very lucky that people want to hear it. ‘Run Down Nasty’ is an original that gets a huge crowd response, not only musically but also in its presentation, largely thanks to Tina Cookson, our lead dancer and choreographer. She outdid herself on that one, and it’s honestly something to be seen! As far as covers go, our take on ‘Whole Lotta Love’ is something else! Take Zep, Ike and Tina, Santana, and Tower of Power, throw them in a blender, pour it over ice, and you have our version. It’s a showstopper!”

“The band and I believe in this show and its music wholeheartedly,” says FRANKY. “Watching the audience grow night after night and become as emotionally invested in the project as we are is overwhelming and beyond words. I’m deeply grateful to Red Rock for recognizing our vision and providing us with a stage to bring it to life!”

As part of the show, FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS serve up creative mash-up arrangements that take the audience higher. Don’t be surprised, for example, to hear Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana” merged into Hozier’s “Take Me To Church.”

“Nothing is impossible, off-limits, or out of reach when it comes to choosing songs or arrangements for the show,” explains FRANKY. “I have an incredible band that can deliver on anything I throw at them! There are only two rules: 1) It must move you, and 2) It must groove.”

The FRANKY AND THE ALL NIGHTERS lineup is:

Franky Perez – Vocals, Guitar, Percussion
Christian Brady – Guitar
Michael “Doc” Ellis – Bass
Mario Dawson – Drums
Angelo Stokes – Cuban Percussion
Marlena Johnson – background vocals
Cassie Stone Brady – background vocals
Kevin Mullinax – Trombone
Ramiro Nasello – Trumpet
Mark Tragesser – saxophone
Oscar Alejandro – Keys
Tina Cookson – Dancer
Sarah LeClear – Dancer
Veronica Shatsylo – Dancer

At the residency’s opening night last year, the audience included Eddie Trunk of SiriusXM, John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review Journal, singer Donovan Leitch, and guitarist Stoney Curtis.

“Not only is Franky a phenomenal singer and performer, but the entire band is stellar. A wide range of fantastic music played in a unique way only they can deliver. A truly great show and Vegas experience!”
—Eddie Trunk, TrunkNation SiriusXM Radio

“A Las Vegas native, the ever-rocking Franky Perez is the heart and soul of his city. He and his backing band are all-in, every night, fully committed to a gold-standard performance.”
—John Katsilometes, Las Vegas Review Journal

“It doesn’t get any more legit and ‘live’ than Franky Perez and The All Nighters! Every sensational, high-energy show takes the audience on an extraordinary musical journey from the downbeat to standing room encore. Franky Perez and The All Nighters are ‘Simply The Best!’”
–Candace Davis-Martin, Corporate Director of Entertainment / Station Casinos

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN Release Second Single And Video For “Dangerous Game” From New Album “IV” Out June 6

DATE: APRIL 11, 2025

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/MARCEE RONDAN

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN
TODAY (APRIL 11) RELEASE SECOND SINGLE AND VIDEO FOR “DANGEROUS GAME”
FROM THEIR NEW ALBUM ‘IV’
OUT JUNE 6 ON MOMOJO RECORDS
LISTEN TO THE TRACK HERE AND WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

“Douglas is also a world class guitarist, making him and his power trio the band to watch in 2025.” – Rock Blues and Muse (3/14/2025)

DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN have today (April 11) released the second single and video for “Dangerous Game” from their highly anticipated fourth album IV (MoMojo Records) due out June 6. Listen to the track HERE and watch the video HERE.

“Dangerous Game” leans heavily into the band’s Rock n’ Roll side. With a signature guitar riff destined to be one of his best, Dustin Douglas not only sings with power and grit of a dangerous romance but emits the feeling through a six-string fury. The song is a classic rock-rooted adventure with an injection of sleaze and power.

“My Rock n’ Roll side on full display with ‘Dangerous Game,’” Douglas says. “My love of AC/DC and The Cult inspired this vibe. It felt good to turn up and tune out.”

“We wanted to try something completely different and fresh,” Douglas adds about the song’s video. “Like the track itself, the video is raw and intense with a single, hand-held camera approach. I feel the vibe of the video perfectly fits the energy of the song.”

Fronted by ferocious guitarist/singer/songwriter Dustin Douglas, The Electric Gentlemen—rounded out by drummer Tommy Smallcomb and bassist Matt Gabriel—are known to deliver a heavy dose of swagger, groove, and rock ‘n’ roll attitude both on stage and in the studio.

IV—the fourth studio endeavor from Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen—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 an album inspired by letting go of any musical chains,” says Dustin 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.”

The new track follows the album’s first single “Damage” (released last month) which Rock Blues and Muse (March 14) praised: “Infusing a vintage feel into a modern rock n’ roll vibe, Dustin Douglas has the pipes for rock n’ roll with soul, and he coils himself around this down and dirty song with his made-for-rock voice. The band’s new single is a supercharged, fresh take on their signature, genre defying brand of Blues Rock. Douglas is also a world class guitarist, making him and his power trio the band to watch in 2025.”

IV is the follow-up album to DDEG’s 2023 release, BLACK LEATHER BLUES. DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN have 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.

IV track list:

1. Long Gone
2. Damage
3. Dangerous Game
4. Drunk and Alone
5. Satisfied
6. Please and Thank You
7. Every Dog Has His Day
8. Give It To Me Straight
9. Missin’ You
