DT: AUGUST 28, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

MEXICO CITY-FORMED, LA-BASED HEAVY METAL TRIO

RUSTY EYE

REVEAL FIRST NEW MUSIC IN SIX YEARS ON NEW ALBUM

‘DISSECTING SHADOWS’

DUE OCTOBER 23

(EPOCHÉ RECORDS/BLOOD BLAST DISTRIBUTION)

BAND RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR DEBUT SINGLE
“THIS IS PERMANENT”

FILMED AT JUMBO’S CLOWN ROOM IN HOLLYWOOD, CA

Marking their first new music since 2014 and sixth album overall, heavy metal trio RUSTY EYE have announced the October 23 release of their new full-length album DISSECTING SHADOWS on Epoché Records/Blood Blast Distribution. Their most ambitious recording thus far, DISSECTING SHADOWS encompasses their personal blend of prog, thrash, punk, blackened death, and synthwave, all squeezed through a keyhole of grindhouse grime that they define as “Rust’n’Roll.” The entire album celebrates exploitation cinema, Italian horror, and grindhouse, executed with topnotch musicianship, songwriting, and creative originality. The album’s fierce debut single, “This Is Permanent,” is out now across all digital platforms and was premiered alongside its music video yesterday (August 27) via Metal Injection.

“This is Permanent” disguises darkness in catchiness. Its lyrics exam the perils of addiction, without being preachy; it plays with the idea of being “under the influence” (whether that’sdrugs, the media, other people). The video was filmed at the infamous Jumbo’s Clown Room strip club in Hollywood, CA with director Alejandro Ordonez (Raubtier Productions). Watch it streaming below.

DISSECTING SHADOWS is available for pre-order on CD, Vinyl (Limited to 500 clear variants) and a special limited-edition branded boombox and cassette bundle at

http://store.rustyeye.com. Digital pre-orders can be found here.

Rusty Eye – This is Permanent (Official Music Video)

A fierce trio formed in Mexico City, who‘ve made Hollywood their home, RUSTY EYE are hardworking DIY experts with blue-collar ethos and artisan flair. The band–fronted by co-vocalist/drummer Miss Randall and co-vocalist/bassist Mr. Rust along with guitarist Baron Murtland-have previously released five studio albums, a catalog of EPs, live records, singles, and music videos, all self-financed through their own Epoché Records. Their 2014 release Saca el Cobre, a cover album of Spanish language classics by Cuca, Amantes de Lola, Fobia, Caifanes, Café Tacuba, and Maldita Vecindad, caught the attention of famed Mexican musician and filmmaker Sergio Arau, who hired RUSTY EYE to be his backing band.

RUSTY EYE has been featured in music publications including Noisey, Revolver, Metal Sucks, Metal Edge, Music Connection, Highwire Daze, Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, Zero Tolerance and Exclaim!, as well as receiving favorable press in the horror world with sites such as Rue Morgue and the defunct FEARnet.com. They’ve performed live at legendary West Coast venues like The Regent, Roxy, Whisky A Go Go and the Key Club.

The iconic multi-platinum-selling group AMERICA–co-founders GERRY BECKLEY and DEWEY BUNNELL–are celebrating their 50^th anniversary with a newly recorded song, “Remembering.” To further mark the occasion,they’ve shared the lyric video for the song which is featured on the August 28 release of their ultimate 8-disc anniversary box set HALF CENTURY(America Records). Watch the video here which premiered (8/19) via Ultimate Classic Rock. Listen to “Remembering”here.

The song, written by BECKLEY, is classic AMERICA: harmony-rich rock, mixed with ringing guitars and pop smarts, with a compelling soul-searching lyric. “After 50 years together, this song is about the time spent looking back rather than looking forward…so much to be grateful for,” says BECKLEY, who produced and mixed the song with Jeff Larson. “Remembering” will also appear on AMERICA‘s next studio album in 2021. Watch the promotional film.

HALF CENTURYwas produced for release and compiled by Jeff Larson for America Archives. It contains CD’s of rare archival studio recordings consisting of alternate mixes, demos and rehearsals, including several previously unreleased tracks ranging from 1970 – 2000. Along with the re-mastered Bremen 1973 in-studio performance and two CD’s of radio interviews providing an audio overview of the band’s career, along with a DVD of Super 8 “Home Movies” (1972-1975) to give fans a behind the scenes look at the early years of the legendary and enduring band.

Founding members, Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell along with former band mate Dan Peek, met in high school in London in the late 1960s and quickly harmonized their way to the top of the charts on the strength of their signature song “A Horse With No Name.” AMERICA became a global household name and paved the way with an impressive string of hits following the success of their first #1 single. Gerry and Dewey are still making music together, touring the world and thrilling audiences with their timeless sound. From their formative years, AMERICA has been a band capable of transcending borders with its uplifting music and positive message. Embracing a rainbow of divergent cultures, America’s audiences continue to grow, comprising a loyal legion of first, second and third generation fans, all bearing testament to the group’s enduring appeal.

HARRY SHEARER Releases “Stormy Daniels,” Fourth Song in Donald Trump Series

DATE: AUGUST 20, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN

‘THE SIMPSONS’ AND ‘SPINAL TAP’ STAR

HARRY SHEARER

Releases Fourth Song in Donald Trump Series

“STORMY DANIELS”

“Paid her from my own account
Just for max clarity
Something I never did
For any school or charity
Despite what you may hear
There’s no similarity
I never need advice

She’s not a slut
I just helped her keep her pie hole shut
Stormy Daniels
Such a thrill doesn’t come in granules
She’s naughty
And oh so nice”

#DonaldTrumpSong

Today (August 20), star of “The Simpsons” and “Spinal Tap,” HARRY SHEARER releases the fourth track in his Donald Trump song series, which runs with a song a week throughout this summer and fall. “STORMY DANIELS” follows the old school R&B anthem to Jared Kushner, “SON IN LAW“; the disco/plaintive folk number celebrating Trump’s consistent inconsistency in his approach to the pandemic, “COVID-180“; and “VERY STABLE GENIUS,” a low-power power ballad, in which the Leader of the Free World vaunts his self-proclaimed intellectual prowess combined with his calm and balanced disposition.

Written and performed by SHEARER in the style of a mid-sixties romantic ballad, “STORMY DANIELS” is a lush string-filled ode to passion, power and pay-off. Singing himself a soothing song of love and self-pity, the current occupant of The White House praises his former amour’s ample assets while bemoaning how his own assets were wasted in buying her silence.

HARRY SHEARER says of “Stormy Daniels”:

“What good is hush money when it buys so little hush?”

“STORMY DANIELS” features SHEARER on vocals as Donald Trump. He is joined by CJ Vanston on piano, strings and bass and Greg Bisonette on drums. The trumpet and string arrangement is by CJ Vanston. The music and lyrics are by Harry Shearer. It is released by Twanky Records.

HARRY SHEARER has vocally portrayed every U.S. president of his lifetime. Donald Trump is the third he has portrayed physically, having previously played Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan on screen.

The first song in the Donald Trump series, “SON IN LAW,” was released on July 31 and is available here. “SON IN LAW” is an old-style New Orleans R&B number depicting Donald Trump in praise of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The video of the track uses ground-breaking motion-capture animation to portray the U.S. President lionizing his senior advisor and husband of his daughter Ivanka. At one point it shows the spookily real Trump with his hand casually hovering over the nuclear button on his desk in The Oval Office, while extolling the virtues of his daughter’s curves.

“SON IN LAW” features New Orleans musicians David Torkanowsky of The Astral Project and Stanton Moore Trio on piano and organ, The Meters star George Porter, Jr. on bass, Raymond Weber of Dumpstaphunk on drums, leading saxophonist Brad Walker, Scott Frock of Delfeayo Marsalis’ Uptown Jazz Orchestra, on trumpet, and one of New Orleans’ top trombonists, Jon Ramm. The track is mixed by long-time HARRY SHEARER musical collaborator C J Vanston at The Treehouse North Hollywood and produced by David Torkanowsky. The video was conceived and produced by HARRY SHEARER with Matt Hermans of The Electric Lens Company in Sydney, Australia. The on-set producer was HARRY‘s long-time collaborator, cinematographer Matthew Mindlin.

“COVID-180,” the second song, which was released on August 7, has “The Simpsons” and “Spinal Tap” star as Trump, alternating stanzas of pumped-up disco and plaintive folk rock to represent the alternating “up” and “down” approaches taken to the pandemic by the President.

“COVID-180” features “The Simpsons” star on vocals in an eerily accurate impersonation of the President of The United States. He is joined by Sharlotte Gibson and CJ Vanston on backing vocals, Marc Bonilla on guitar, Toss Panos on drums with CJ Vanston on piano, synths and all other instruments. “Covid 180″ was mixed by CJ Vanston at The Treehouse, North Hollywood CA and mastered by Peter Doell at Aftermaster.

“Very Stable Genius,” the third song which was released on August 14,is a low-power power ballad, in which the Leader of the Free World vaunts his self-proclaimed intellectual prowess combined with his calm and balanced disposition. With vocals by SHEARER as Trump, it has CJ Vanston on backing vocals, Marc Bonilla on guitar, Toss Panos on drums, with CJ Vanston on piano, synths and all other instruments.

HARRY SHEARER says of the series of Trump-themed songs, which will be released on a weekly basis over the next seven weeks:

“My Donald Trump is almost as eager for continued

public attention as the ‘real’ Trump.”

About Harry Shearer:

Actor…author…director…comedian…musician…political satirist…multi-media artist…radio personality…record company owner…and one of the best “voices” in the business (just ask “THE SIMPSONS”), HARRY SHEARER is a comic personality and modern-day renaissance man.

For the past three decades he has enjoyed enormous success and planted the fruits of his talents in the heads of millions worldwide thanks to his voice work for “THE SIMPSONS,” where he plays a stable of characters: most notably Mr. Burns, Smithers, and insufferable neighbour Ned Flanders.

Movie audiences will know SHEARER best for his collaborations with Christopher Guest and friends. The most famous of these is the granddaddy of all mock-umentaries, “THIS IS SPINAL TAP” (with Rob Reiner and Michael McKean). The film revealed the concepts of spontaneously combusting drummers and amps that go up to eleven. Spinal Tap–the band have enjoyed worldwide success performing live and in 2007 stole the show at the LIVE EARTH concert at Wembley, London. In 2009 Harry, Christopher and Michael reunited to tour an acoustic version of Spinal Tap songs as themselves in the UNWIGGED AND UNPLUGGED tour (which is available of DVD) and returned as Derek Smalls, Nigel Tufnel and David St. Hubbins to play Glastonbury and Wembley Arena with the volume turned up to eleven. Other Guest collaborations have included, “A MIGHTY WIND” and “FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.” In 2017 SHEARER appeared in the film “FATHER FIGURE,” with Glenn Close, Ed Helms and Owen Wilson.

Shearer’s other film credits include “REAL LIFE” (co-screenwriter), “THE RIGHT STUFF,” “PORTRAIT OF A WHITE MARRIAGE” (director), “THE FISHER KING,” “GODZILLA,” “THE TRUMAN SHOW,” “SMALL SOLDIERS” and “DICK.” He has been a regular cast member on “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE” twice and, In 2001, wrote and directed his first feature film, “TEDDY BEARS’ PICNIC,” a lightly fictionalized satire of the summer retreat of America’s financial and political elite. In 2010 SHEARER wrote and directed “The Big Uneasy,” a documentary feature about the investigations into the causes of the 2005 flooding of New Orleans. The film has been selected for numerous film festivals and has won multiple awards including The Golden Eagle Award and The Visionary Award at The DC Independent Film Festival.

In 2013 SHEARER created a ground-breaking TV comedy drama series based on real-life recordings from President Nixon’s Oval Office. Written by and starring SHEARER as Richard Nixon, “NIXON’S THE ONE” is made by one of the most respected and prolific UK TV production companies, Hat Trick and was broadcast to great acclaim on Sky Arts.

In 2014 he starred opposite Maureen Lipman in both the West End and on a national UK tour of Oliver Cotton’s acclaimed play “DAYTONA.”

HARRY SHEARER is also known for his bitingly satirical songs and impersonations. He was nominated for a Grammy for his CD SONGS POINTED AND POINTLESS. His album SONGS OF THE BUSHMEN (also Grammy nominated) was an incisive musical impeachment of the Bush administration with impersonations in song of the likes of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Colin Powell. In 2009 he released GREED & FEAR–a searing satirical attack on Wall Street in the wake of the world economic meltdown. In the autumn of 2012 he released CAN’T TAKE A HINT, an album of duets featuring the like of Jamie Cullum, Jane Lynch, Fountains of Wayne, Dr John, Rob Brydon and others. SHEARER‘s musical collaborations with his wife singer/songwriter Judith Owen led to the launch of Courgette Records (a nod to the infamous airport scene from THIS IS SPINAL TAP). SHEARER and Owen have recently returned from a critically acclaimed tour of Australia to debut THIS INFERNAL RACKET, a collaborative comedy and music exploration of fame, celebrity, politics, religion and relationships.

In July 2017, at a ceremony in Nashville, SHEARER was honoured by National Music Council with American Eagle Award in recognition of his contributions to American and Global Musical Culture as a Writer, Humorist, Musician, Composer, Social Commentator and tireless advocate for the rights and fair treatment of Music Creators in the United States and throughout the World.

In 2015 Shearer wrote and presented the BBC Radio 4 documentary, NEW ORLEANS–THE CRESCENT AND THE SHADOW, which was broadcast to mark the tenth anniversary of the flooding of the city that took place following Hurricane Katrina.

A child of Hollywood, Shearer made guest appearances on a variety of A-list television series while still in his teens. Credits include “THE JACK BENNY PROGRAM,” “GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATRE” and “ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS.” He was cast and appeared in the pilot of “LEAVE IT TO BEAVER” as the original Eddie Haskell. His parents, not realizing that the show could be picked up were horrified when it was and removed him so he could attend school.

He attended UCLA as a political science major, where he edited and wrote for the school humor magazine. He pursued graduate work at Harvard University and served a political internship in Sacramento before turning to freelance journalism, most notably covering the Watts riots for Newsweek. In 1968, Shearer auditioned for a satirical news team at KRLA-AM called The Credibility Gap. The crew developed a fanatical following, engaging in guerrilla comedy actions like alternative live running commentaries to the annual Rose Parade in Pasadena. The classic Gap lineup including Shearer, future band mate Michael McKean, David Lander, and Richard Beebe began to play local clubs and eventually recorded a number of hilarious – and now scarce–albums, including A GREAT GIFT IDEA, THE BRONZE AGE OF RADIO and FLOATS.

SHEARER collaborated with writer Tom Leopold and composer Peter Matz to create the book and lyrics for an original musical film about J.Edgar Hoover titled “HERE COMES J EDGAR” now in development.

A published novelist (NOT ENOUGH INDIANS), exhibited artist (TELETHESIA at the Fullerton Museum Center and WALL OF SILENCE at MOCA) and celebrated broadcaster (his satirical sandbox LE SHOW, which has recently celebrated its 35th anniversary, is heard weekly on stations around the world), SHEARER is a multi-talented entertainer, artist and communicator. His writing has been published in, among other periodicals, the New York Times, Film Comment, and the New York Review of Books.

His good friend and colleague, Derek Smalls, recently released his first solo record since the dissolution of Spinal Tap, SMALLS CHANGE (MEDITATIONS ON AGING). The record features guest performances by the cream of rock artists (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Donald Fagen, David Crosby, Rick Wakeman among many others). The live show supporting the record LUKEWARM WATER LIVE received its world premiere in New Orleans 2018, featuring the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra and was followed by a special concert 2019 which featured an array of guest talent including, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Dweezil Zappa, Paul Shaffer and Tenacious D (Jack Black, Kyle Gass) as well as live link ups with Donald Fagen, Jane Lynch, The Snarky Puppy Horns and The Budapest Symphony Orchestra. In November this year, Derek staged LUKEWARM WATER LIVE at The Wiltern Los Angeles in a live concert that featured Billy Idol, Steve Lukather, Waddy Wachtel, Dweezil Zappa, Paul Shaffer and Judith Owen as well as live link up performances from a star-studded list that included keyboard legend Rick Wakeman.

Twanky Records was co-founded by Harry Shearer and Judith Owen in 2013 as the recording label to release their personal recording projects. The company has since established itself globally with local representation in over twenty countries and distribution via Absolute Label Services alongside Amped/Alliance/AWAL for USA and Canada. Judith Owen’s internationally critically acclaimed that have been released under the label comprise Ebb & Flow (2014) – “One of the albums of the year” – The Independent – UK, Somebody’s Child (2016) and redisCOVERed (2018) – both “Top 100 Albums Of The Year” The Sunday Times – UK. Twanky Records – We’re Behind You, Inc is based in California USA.

Spearheaded by wunderkind Matt Hermans, Electric Lens Company is a studio and creative laboratory featuring a collective of Australia’s brightest creative and technical artists. Their work has screened on the sails of the Sydney Opera House and they have conjured up virtual reality roller coasters, public installations, holograms and ground-breaking visual effects for international film and television projects.

With the release of their fifth full length album KALIYUGA out today, Friday, August 7 via UNFD, Australian melodic metalcore outfit/environmental harbingers IN HEARTS WAKE have released a new single/music video for the aspirational track “Moving On” as well as announced a community tree planting day on Saturday, August 8 in the Northern Rivers, AU (details below).

“Moving On” celebrates letting go of that which no longer serves us and is a celebration of transformation and getting back to what really matters. IN HEARTS WAKE firmly believe that as we regrow our roots, we remember our way forward. Like many songs from the upcoming album, it is a track of ruthless self-examination. Probing personal and transpersonal insights into the human condition, searching for what helps or hinders the way forward.

Like many in the music industry, the band have faced their own challenges during the preparation for KALIYUGA‘s release as the band members all live in different locations and have been isolated from one another during the global pandemic.

“In 2020 everything has felt quite uncertain,” shares IN HEARTS WAKE frontman JAKE TAYLOR. “For us, ‘Moving On’ encapsulates the light at the end of the tunnel. It dawns the release of our new record ‘Kaliyuga’ and we are thrilled to finally share it with the world!”

Watch the video for “Moving On” streaming below or HERE.

In Hearts Wake – Moving On [Official Music Video]

IN HEARTS WAKE will continue to promote the mission and vision that compelled the five of them to come together at the young age of 15 which was to craft and perform the finest authentic, purposeful and passionate heavy music they could while making a positive difference along the way. The band have transformed into an international bright light since those days and they are dedicated to igniting widespread positive change.

KALIYUGA is the culmination of their efforts having been 100% entirely carbon offset through the purchase of carbon credits in the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor of Western Australia. The album is also packaged and manufactured plastic free, using recycled materials including vinyl copies of the album being pressed on calcium based eco-plastic using vegan ink with recycled and eco-friendly packaging.

To further their efforts, IN HEARTS WAKE previously pledged to plant one tree for every thousand views of their single “Worldwide Suicide” which now has over 300,000 views and counting. The band will be hosting a community tree planting day in partnership with Rainforest4 on Saturday, August 8 aiming to plant 1,000 trees in two hours and are inviting anyone in the Northern Rivers area to join them at Earthwalker & Cromwell Farms on their one-hundred-acre property. Social distancing guidelines will be adhered to. Those wishing to attend must register here. Head to the Facebook event for more information.

SONS OF SILVER Release Politically Charged Video For “Rude Awakenings”

DATE: JULY 17, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/KELLY WALSH

LOS ANGELES ALT ROCK GROUP

SONS OF SILVER

RELEASE POLITICALLY CHARGED VIDEO

FOR “RUDE AWAKENINGS”

FROM THEIR RECENTLY RELEASED

‘DOOMSDAY NOISES’ EP

WATCH HERE

BAND FEATURES

FORMER MEMBERS OF PEARL JAM, CANDLEBOX AND SKILLET

Los Angeles alternative rock group SONS OF SILVER today (July 17) released “Rude Awakenings,” a new video from their DOOMSDAY NOISES EP. The propaganda art clip captures sentiments that reflect the current state of the world with political imagery alongside the song’s strong lyrics. Watch the video here.

“I was stockpiling song ideas when I came up with the basic ideas for ‘Rude Awakenings,” the band’s frontman Peter Argyropoulos explains. “I wasn’t looking to finish anything. In fact, I was only looking for incomplete ideas that we would finish together. But then the basic foundation for ‘Rude Awakenings’ just came out. I played it for Brina along with a few other ideas the next day. She was really into it. But, I back-burner’ed it. I was unsure if it fit with the other songs we were in the middle of. Nonetheless, she persisted and won out. When the guys heard it, they said, ‘why didn’t we hear this sooner?’ I think it took us about twenty minutes to put it all together and take it to a completely different level than I’d originally expected it could be at. It really highlights each of our influences from the rockabilly rhythm section to the punk-bluesy guitars, to the Stonesy woo-hoos. A great team effort. Credit Brina [Kabler, the band’s keyboardist and engineer] especially for not letting the song slip through the cracks.”

SONS OF SILVER’s collaborative songwriting style, signature sound and collective years of experience is what make them such a standout phenom in the alt rock scene. Led by Peter Argyropoulos, SONS OF SILVER features original Pearl Jam drummer Dave Krusen, Candlebox bassist Adam Kury, Skillet guitarist Kevin Haaland and keyboardist and esteemed engineer Brina Kabler. Logging nearly 80 shows per year, the musicians were more united than ever back in the studio. On DOOMSDAY NOISES, songs spun off from jam sessions as a unit and the writing process relied on their musical interplay.

“Rude Awakenings” marks the third video released from the DOOMSDAY NOISES EP. It follows two powerful singles and videos: “World On Fire” and “Read ‘Em Their Rights,“the latter of which has garnered nearly a million views so far and is climbing the rock radio charts. Listen to the EP here.

“(Keep Mar-A-Lago But) I Want America Back”: ERIC HIRSHBERG’s Powerful And Timely Single Out Today

DATE: JULY 17, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN

“Keep Mar-a-Lago/

But I Want America Back…”

–Eric Hirshberg

ERIC HIRSHBERG

RELEASES POWERFUL AND TIMELY SINGLE

“(KEEP MAR-A-LAGO BUT) I WANT AMERICA BACK”

IN ADVANCE OF HIS FORTHCOMING DEBUT ALBUM

‘SPARE ROOM’

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

AND LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE

100% OF PROCEEDS FROM MERCHANDISE RELATED TO THE SONG

WILL BE DONATED TO

THE JOE BIDEN CAMPAIGN

With his debut album in final preparations, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, musician ERIC HIRSHBERG has released a song suited for these tumultuous times. “(Keep Mar-a-Lago But) I Want America Back” is from HIRSHBERG‘s forthcoming debut album, SPARE ROOM, due out later this summer. Watch the video here and listen to the song here.

“(Keep Mar-a-Lago But) I Want America Back” was written over the past few years since Trump took office. The song’s propulsive energy and lyrics mince no words, articulating the frustration that Hirshberg–and the majority of Americans–feel with the current occupant of The White House. The song’s powerful chorus states, “Keep Mar-a-Lago, but I want America back.”

ERIC explains, “”With a chorus like ‘Keep Mar-a-Lago, but I want America back,’ I don’t think there’s any way for me to sugar coat–this is an anti-Donald Trump song. I’m not trying to convince anyone who disagrees with me to agree with me. I’m just trying to create a sonic release valve for my unspeakable levels of frustration at the current state of things in America, and offering it up to those who do agree with me. The photos which serve as the foundation for the video were taken at The Women’s March in both New York and LA, the March for Our Lives in LA, and at various Black Lives Matter protests around the country–all since Trump took office. It works as a sort of sad scrapbook for the near constant state of protest we’ve been in for the past three and a half years.”

In an effort to support the song’s powerful sentiments HIRSHBERG will donate 100% of proceeds on the merchandise related to this song to the JOE BIDEN campaign. To purchase a shirt, click here, or donate to the campaign.

With unguarded lyrics and an eye for detailed storytelling, SPARE ROOM uses the extremely personal to find the universal. The songs cover a wide range of what HIRSHBERG calls “life’s big small moments.” HIRSHBERG adds that he likes to write songs “about the things everybody lives…but don’t always talk about.” Stay tuned for additional details about SPARE ROOM.

“(Keep Mar-a-Lago But) I Want America Back” Lyrics:

It’s a long way to fall

From where we started from

It’s a long way to go

From where we’re starting now

I can’t believe with the lies that we’re living through

There aren’t riots in the streets

Don’t want to have another pissed oﬀ conversation

While we’re getting something to eat

I’m scared that everything we’ve treasured all along

Is already gone

Sick and tired of feeling uninspired

This is not how it’s supposed to be

Sick and tired of feeling righter

That’s not enough for me

I’m tired of waiting for this pendulum to swing

We’ve gotta start pushing back

Keep Mar-a-Lago

But I Want America Back

It’s hard to believe

How fragile this all was

It’s hard to believe

How fast we tore it down

Don’t want to watch the news on the TV tonight

‘Cause I just can’t take anymore

Don’t want to listen to anymore justiﬁcations

‘Cause we’ve heard ’em all before

I’m scared that everything we’re ﬁghting to escape from

Is what we’ve become

Sick and tired of feeling uninspired

This is not how it’s supposed to be

Sick and tired of feeling righter

That’s not enough for me

I’m tired of waiting for this pendulum to swing

We’ve gotta start pushing back

Keep Mar-a-Lago

But I Want America Back

SUNNY OZELL Releases Video For Her Version Of Los Lobos’ “The Valley” Track From Her New EP

DATE: JULY 16, 2020

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN

SUNNY OZELL

‘LIVE AT THE VILLAGE’

ACOUSTIC EP

DUE OUT TODAY (JULY 17)

VIDEO FOR HER VERSION OF LOS LOBOS’

“THE VALLEY” OUT NOW

WATCH HERE

To coincide with today’s release of her new EP LIVE AT THE VILLAGE, singer-songwriter SUNNY OZELL has released a video for her personally poignant cover of Los Lobos‘ “The Valley.” Watch the clip here.

“I believe Los Lobos to be one of America’s greatest living rock bands,” SUNNY says. “Their body of work is wide and remarkable, with composition and musicianship that is acutely human, organic, and intelligent. But their approach to the actual ‘auditory experience’ of their music adds layers of meaning for me as listener, and I find that their sonic choices only serve to push their music into that realm of the ineffable, where you can’t quite put your finger on why you’re crying, you just know that you’re deeply moved. And to my mind, ‘The Valley’ is a great example of this kind of profound synthesis between form and content.”

The all-acoustic LIVE AT THE VILLAGE EP is comprised of “The Valley” and raw and affecting versions of four songs from her OVERNIGHT LOWS album (released earlier this year). The EP was recorded live at the historic Village Studios in Los Angeles. Listen here.

The tracks on LIVE AT THE VILLAGE all hold a very meaningful sense of place both geographically and spiritually. “Driving Highways” references the landscape of SUNNY‘s home state of Nevada, and the English countryside is conjured in “The Garden.” The themes of the transience of travel and memory factor into “Comes And It Goes.”

Live At The Village tracklisting:

Hammer And Nail (Acoustic)
Driving Highways (Acoustic)
Comes And It Goes (Acoustic)
The Garden (Acoustic)
The Valley (Acoustic)

SUNNY’s OVERNIGHT LOWS (released earlier this year) gleams with engaging melodies and intelligent wordplay performed with a sophisticated fluency in pop, jazz, soul and Americana dialects. In SUNNY‘s words, OVERNIGHT LOWS reflects the soul and simplicity of her passion for such inspirations as Bonnie Raitt, David Byrne, Cassandra Wilson, and Aretha Franklin. Players on the album include Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant, Aimee Mann, Alison Krauss), Tyler Chester (George Ezra, Maddison Cunningham), Andy Hess (The Black Crowes, David Byrne), Adam Levy (Norah Jones, Roseanne Cash), and Rich Hinman (Sara Bareilles). The album was recorded at Village Studios in Los Angeles, and engineered by Mike Piersante. “All That I Am,” the album’s first single, debuted earlier this year at AMERICAN SONGWRITER.
