ROSS VALORY has just debuted a performance video series—via the original Journey bassist and songwriter’s YouTube channel—with a cover of Jimmy Smith’s “Root Down.” Watch the “Root Down” performance HERE.

The series was filmed at ROSS’ Northern California studio and features VALORY, bass; Bobby Strickland, sax; Paul Spina, drums; Eric Levy, keyboards; and Vernon “Ice” Black, guitar, vocals. This initial video will be followed by new ones every Thursday for the next three weeks.

“Until I play out, I’m Playing In!” ROSS says when asked if he’ll be doing live shows.

Earlier this year, VALORY released his debut solo album ALL OF THE ABOVE (OID Music). Produced by VALORY and co-produced by Eric Levy and Jacob Stowe, the nine tracks on the album represent the full maturity of VALORY’s musical gifts, cutting a broad swath through the instrumental territory the music travels. He plays keyboards, guitar, and, of course, many basses in a display of cultivated virtuosity across a palette far broader than could be found in his work with Journey.

He is stepping out from behind his bass and, for the first time in his more than half-century as a professional musician, representing his vision and his compositions. The album has been accompanied by five videos so far, all directed by Michael Cotton: “Tomland” (the album’s hypnotic first single), “Wild Kingdom (with its Latin-fired intensity), and “Windmill” (defined by its Brazilian flair), his interpretation of War’s classic cruising anthem “Low Rider” and “Nightflower” (a pastoral ribbon of music featuring Journey founding member George Tickner and Steve Roseman of Cold Blood).

Genre-blending musician CORY MARKS will release his second full-length album, SORRY FOR NOTHING, on December 6 via Better Noise Music. An unapologetic double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between roots country and arena-rock, marks the follow-up to his acclaimed debut album, Who I Am. Today, October 4, CORY MARKS showcases his dual musicality with two new track releases. “Fast As I Can” is an exciting, feel-good country track with a fun, foot-stomping chorus that will have you hooked and singing along to every word. “Whiskey For Sale” is a perfect blend of bluegrass, country, and a heavy rock chorus, narrating a love story that has taken a turn. Stream “Fast As I Can” HERE and “Whiskey For Sale” HERE.

“The record is really who I am,” says CORY MARKS. “The title says it all. I love rock and I love country. 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.”

Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Shania Twain, Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach), Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman), and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), SORRY FOR NOTHING is highlighted by guest appearances from Sully Erna (Godsmack), Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), Travis Tritt, and DL (Bad Wolves).

DIMEBAG DARRELL’S CANNABIS FROM HELL Launches Debut Product Exclusively Available In California from October 7-13

DT: OCTOBER 2, 2024

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

DIMEBAG DARRELL’S CANNABIS FROM HELL
ANNOUNCES DEBUT PRODUCT LAUNCH
EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA
WEEK OF OCTOBER 7-13
SURROUNDING PANTERA’S HEADLINING AFTERSHOCK FESTIVAL PERFORMANCE (OCTOBER 10)

LIMIITED-EDITION “PINTERA” PRE-ROLLED PINNERS IS A
COLLABORATION WITH SLIMMIES AND HIGHER VIBES SOLUTIONS

A black box with white text Description automatically generated

The wait is over for cannabis and heavy metal enthusiasts alike. DIMEBAG DARRELL’S CANNABIS FROM HELL—a premium cannabis line paying tribute to the late legendary Pantera and Damageplan guitarist Dimebag and his love of Mary Jane along with his unmistakable rock ‘n’ roll legacy–will launch with their limited-edition debut product, PINTERAS, pre-rolled pinners in collaboration with Slimmies and Higher Vibes Solutions. The launch, limited to 1,000 units, will be exclusively available in Sacramento, CA surrounding Pantera’s headlining performance at the iconic Aftershock Festival on Thursday, October 10. Festivalgoers can find PINTERAS exclusively at any Cookies and/or Lemonnnade dispensaries in Sacramento and at Four Twenty Bank in Palm Springs during the entire week of Aftershock (10/7-10/13). Attendees can bring proof of purchase to the Dimebag Hardware booth inside Aftershock festival grounds for a special festival-exclusive DIMEBAG DARRELL gift.

The journey to bring Dimebag Darrell’s Cannabis From Hell to life began three years ago at Aftershock. Scott “SVH” Von Heldt, CEO of Higher Vibes Solutions and Co-Founder of Dimebag Darrell’s Cannabis From Hell brand recalls a fateful conversation with Rita Haney, trustee and widow of Dimebag Darrell. “I was there representing one of my cannabis clients when I met Rita and asked if she’d ever considered doing a cannabis brand in Dime’s honor. She told me, ‘Yeah hun, I have, but everybody flaked, and we never found the right partner to make it happen.’ My response was, ‘Well, you found the right guy.’ From that point on, I made it my mission to find the perfect partners to honor Dime’s legacy with authenticity.”

Drawing from Dimebag’s love for rolling pinner-style joints, Von Heldt enlisted the expertise of Slimmies, the first company in California to roll a straight, slim-style pre-roll. “The guys at Slimmies jumped at the opportunity to join us in creating a kick-ass 10-pack of pinner-style pre-rolls—perfect for festivals, concerts, or just rockin’ out to your favorite Pantera jams at home. Pinteras are the perfect way to light ‘em up and watch it go!” adds Von Heldt.

Pinteras is a special 8th of premium indoor-grown flower, rolled into ten small “pinner-style” joints, just like Dimebag himself loved to smoke. Each collectible pack features the phrase “Let the Rocker take care of the Rockers,” written in Dimebag’s own handwriting, making it a must-have for both fans and connoisseurs. The Pinteras 10-packs feature a balanced hybrid strain called Revolution (Is My Strain), a cross of Ghost OG x Purple Punch, delivering a gassy, high-octane boost with the smooth taste and cerebral high of its purple terps.

Beyond the launch of Pinteras, fans can look forward to future releases from Dimebag Darrell’s Cannabis From Hell, including 3.5g Cemetery Eighths, THC & Hemp-infused Blacktooth Grins, and Redd Fang ready-to-drink Bloody Mary’s. In addition, the team will be unveiling a line of functional gummies under the Dimetime brand, featuring 20 Blacktooth Berry gummies designed to enhance creativity and deliver a sense of overall well-being. Stay tuned for more details.

As an entertainer, she’s performed on TV’s biggest shows, from late night’s most influential (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show With James Corden, The Late Show with David Letterman) to daytime’s most popular (Ellen, Good Morning America, The Today Show), as well as performing and presenting on multiple CMA, ACM, and CMT award shows and specials. After touring the globe and playing on some of its biggest stages, her first love is songwriting, and it remains the force that drives her today. Perry signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell and Songs & Daughters, she released “Bloom” her first EP as a solo artist in 2023 and is headlining the 2024 CMT Next Women of Country Presents: Kimberly Perry (of The Band Perry) Tour.

ABOUT DYLAN SCHNEIDER

A self-taught visionary, Dylan Schneider first started performing and writing at the age of 14, fearless and skilled far beyond his years. Forging his mark on the Country music community and fans alike with songs such as “Two Black X’s” (2016), “How Does It Sound” (2017), and “How to Country” (2019), Schneider rode a wave of momentum throughout his teens, gaining a devoted fan base and tenacious online following. Now, at only 24-years-old, he’s amassed a social-media following of 1.8M+ fans, banked over 350M on-demand streams, and has toured alongside superstars like Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown, Scotty McCreery, Nate Smith, and more. And all throughout, Schneider kept the tunes coming, working at an all-out sprint.

A natural trailblazer, Schneider’s evolved style demands attention. He’s always blurred the line between Country and Pop, and his new songs once again break new ground, landing just ahead of Country’s cutting edge. Mixing modern Pop sensibility with a down-home feel, his sound is unrestrained, as he integrates the punchy edge of Rock with arena-sized beats and modern pop hooks. Embracing his irresistible rock-n-roll edge and compelling pop-country swagger, Schneider has gracefully landed the tricky jump from teenaged talent to full-fledged artist, having co-written Dustin Lynch’s Top 5 hit song “Momma’s House” and scored two RIAA-certified Gold records. Now, he has something to say and the tools to say it with conviction – and this is just the beginning.

Schneider kicked off 2024 on Nate Smith’s “World On Fire” Tour and released his latest EP, Bad Decisions, on April 26th, right before making his Stagecoach Festival debut performance. He will be joining Kane Brown on his “In The Air” Tour this fall.

Finding “storylines that make country music listeners go wild is his superpower” and Schneider “not only lives up to his hitmaker status, but he exceeds it” (All Country News). Featuring his viral songs “Ain’t Missin’ You” and title track “Bad Decisions” that PopCulture demanded to “PLAY IT LOUD,” the project includes new songs “Carhartt,” “Ruin This Town” and “Buy That Girl A Beer” that are sure to catapult his already viral resume.

After posting a snippet of a sharp-witted chorus on TikTok, the sound went viral, racking up over 156M TikTok views, 181k user-generated TikTok videos, 55M on-demand streams and 1M YouTube views, climbing to #3 on TikTok’s Country playlist and securing placement on viral-song charts. Seeing the incredible response, Schneider immediately went back to the writing room to finish the spit-fire track – “Ain’t Missin’ You.” Boasting wily lyrics and an electric hook, the feisty song finds the “Artist to Watch” (Amazon Music, Pandora, Taste of Country) continuing to “expand the bounds of his artistry” (American Songwriter) and lean into MusicRow’s “Next Big Thing” prediction.

There’s a reason Billboard named him “Country music’s next rising star.” Continuing to strongly connect, having already amassed over 3.8M TikTok views, 26,000 filter creates, 5,000 user-generated TikTok videos and 7.3M on-demand streams, Schneider gave into fan-demand again with the sultry track “Bad Decisions.” Seduced by a magnetic connection with an ex, the seductive song follows a couple who just can’t help but give into temptation. Filling out the rest of the EP, he delivers his most-vulnerable song to date with the autobiographical “Daddy Drinks Whiskey.” While the stadium-ready, supercharged anthem “Ruin This Town” showcases his “rapid-fire singing style” (Billboard), the live-in-the-moment reminder of ballad “Buy That Girl A Beer” puts his eclectic vocals and lyrical growth on full display. Finally, the insanely catchy, witty and vibrant groove of “Carhartt” flows with an unforgettable, anthemic beat about a girl who got away that’s sure to be his next viral song of summer.

ABOUT MARYYN TAYLOR

MaRynn Taylor, a rising star in the country music industry, hails from Nashville. Her distinctive approach combines elements of conventional Country music with Americana and Alt Country influences to produce a timeless sound. Fans of all ages are guaranteed to connect with MaRynn’s music because of her deep voice and sentimental lyrics. MaRynn was surrounded by the sounds of country music from an early age because she grew up in the center of Music City. With her compelling performances and sympathetic lyrics, she immediately garnered a following after starting to write her own songs as a youngster. MaRynn is currently a highly sought-after singer on the Country scene, renowned for her potent vocals and exciting live performances.

ABOUT OUTLAW APOSTLES

Outlaw Apostles is a group of young hungry up and comers, all from in and around Muscle Shoals. Bay Simpson, Evan Lane and Christian White are all young yet seasoned veterans around the Muscle Shoals music scene. They formed in November 2018 with a mission to bring real songs played by real musicians singin’ real three- and four-part harmonies back to the forefront of modern music. They quickly came to the attention of legendary record producer Keith Stegall who assembled a group of writers to woodshed with the band to stockpile songs and help hone the sound. The group has built a strong following in the southeast and will be on the road all year promoting their forthcoming release.

Swedish-formed, LA-based electronic rock/metal trailblazers SOLENCE’s main mission is to share their endless optimism and distinctive electro-savvy yet heavy hook-laden tunes with listeners with the motto: F**k The Bad Vibes. It’s also the title of their debut track released via Better Noise Music in May. “We want to bring the fun back into rock’n’roll,” says frontman Markus Videsäter.

SOLENCE—vocalist Videsäter, guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson—have today, September 27, shared their vigorous new track, “Who You Gonna Call?” which presents the band as your go-to squad for whenever you need to let go and have a good time. Hop along for a thrill-seeking ride, which has serious metal guitar crunch, in SOLENCE’s party-delivering response vehicle in their high energy music video, directed by Johan Lundsten, streaming below or via YouTube HERE. Stream/download “Who You Gonna Call?” digitally at https://solencemusic.ffm.to/wygc.

“‘Who You Gonna Call?’ is a very special song to us,” says Videsäter. “It combines so many elements that we wanted to bring out on the record—the sirens, breaking the fourth wall, screaming your own band name all over…and we had the most fun while writing it. Fun fact, it’s also one of our favorite songs to play live and we always end our set with it. So, who you gonna call?! SOLENCE!”

Call SOLENCE’s hotline 1-866-SOLENCE (1-866-765-3623) to hear a special message of encouragement directly from the band.

With over 300 million cumulative streams and nearly 1 million monthly Spotify listeners, SOLENCE have continued to push themselves to combine their upbeat lyrics with elements of pop, electronic, metal, and hard rock to create an original sound that pushes themselves and the genre forward. The band have built a dedicated global audience on past tours opening for bands including Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, Electric Callboy, and We Came As Romans, 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). SOLENCE recently completed a jaunt across Europe supporting Mongolian rock sensation THE HU which included several sold-out shows. “Their energy was contagious,” commended Chaoszine of their Helsinki show. Further commenting on their energy, Ghost Cult Magazine stated, “The energy and appreciation this band has for its audience is infectious and heartwarming but at the same time you also want to start a wall of death…but with a smile on your face.”
