Dark Pop/Rock Outfit THE HAUNT Share “Why Are You So Cold” Music Video Single
|
DT: AUGUST 27, 2019
FR: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR
SIBLING FRONTED DARK POP/ROCK ACT
THE HAUNT
REVEAL NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “WHY ARE YOU SO COLD”  “[The Haunt] are making the most of their formative years, channeling young adult angst into ominous orchestral pop.”
“In concert, they faithfully recreate their evocative songs, with note-for-note clarity, encouraging openness to immerse your senses. Feel it with every cell in your being. Channeling the likes of Karen O, Cat Power, Shirley Manson, Amy Lee (of Evanescence), Lorde and the ghost of Nina Simone, Anastasia is an indisputable talent, her powerful voice able to command your undivided attention”
– Icon Vs Icon Fronted by teen siblings Anastasia Grace (lead vocals) and Maxamillion Haunt (vocals, guitar, piano), along with Nick Lewert (drums, piano) and Nat Smallish (bass), THE HAUNT combine youthfully resonant anthems with wistful elegance and raw nerve. The quartet shared their first new music since the release of their 2018 self-titled debut EP with “Why Are You So Cold,” the leading track in a trilogy of conceptually driven singles.
The music video, as seen below, premiered on Obsessxns last week, and invites audiences to take an introspective look at how apathetic our society has become as ANASTASIA strikingly chants, “Why are you so cold? Why are we so cold? Why am I so…”
“‘Why Are You So Cold’ acts as an open letter to the universe from an outsider’s perspective mourning and questioning the loss of empathy, compassion and humanity that it had once embraced,” the band shares. “With social media consuming our livelihood, society has switched gears to instead celebrate instant gratification, notoriety and self-obsession. The song is a plea for humanity to remember how to feel again.”
Based out of South Florida, THE HAUNT was hailed early on as the ‘Best Unknown Band‘ by Miami New Times and shortly after releasing their debut EP, embarked on their first-ever tour, both of the United States and UK/Europe, as direct support for fashion-rock outfit Palaye Royale. Critics across the globe were soon to catch on with UK’s Rock Sound naming them a ‘Breakthrough Artist’ and summarizing their performance as “indifferent to prevailing trends” while Kerrang! praised the group’s “gothic edge” with “flashes of punk vibrancy and riot grrrl attitude.”
ANASTASIA doesn’t just “relate” to the teenagers that make up THE HAUNT‘s fervent fanbase; at just 16 years old she quite literally is one of them.Having started singing and performing at 9 years old, ANASTASIA wrote her first song at age 12 with the band’s popular debut music video/single targeted towards anti-bullying, “All Went Black,” which garnered over 1 million streams combined.

Q&A WITH MANDA MOSHER
ABOUT “CALIFORNIA COUNTRY”
Can you talk about the importance of re-planting the flag of at this year’s Americana festival?
“I have a great love for the California Country sound which to me stretches back to when Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys influenced what would become the Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard leading on to Gram Parsons, Dwight Yoakam and now to an entirely new vibrant group of young musicians who play Country music in California. California is at times forgotten in the overall fabric given the historical importance of Nashville and Texas. We have significant Country scenes being represented at The Ranch Party, The Grand Ole Echo, and The Cowboy Palace, to name a few. When I first performed at and attended AMERICANAFEST in 2010, I realized that only scattered representations of the California scene existed within the festival. I wanted to bring together our growing scene here and present more of what we are doing to festival attendees. This year I’m excited to build upon what we started in 2016 with The California Country Social at AMERICANAFEST now re-imagined as The California Country Show in partnership with Dave Bernal of The California Country Radio Show.”
Do you feel there is a gulf between the Americana communities in California and Nashville? Is that why you are doing the California Country Shake Up which is uniting musicians from both Los Angeles and Nashville?
“The gulf between the Americana communities in California and Nashville is narrowing as artists travel frequently between the two, making records in both locations, even remotely, and a good number of our California artists who established themselves here have moved to Nashville. Friendships bridge the divide.”
Do you feel there are misconceptions about “California Country” and, if so, what are they?
“The definition of California Country is incredibly broad in a similar sense that Americana is. It’s not just one thing. It’s traditional Country, Alternative Country, Singer/Songwriter influenced, it’s Rock n’ Roll, it’s Blues, it’s Folk, it’s Soul, it’s Alternative…all infused with the terrain of our sunny state.”
EVENTS:
Fri 9/13 – Nashville, TN – The California Country Show, official AMERICANAFEST event, Acme Feed & Seed
Fri 9/13 – Nashville, TN – The California Country Shake-Up (The California Country Show After Show), Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge
Sat 9/14 – Nashville, TN – West Coast Turnaround, The Bowery Vault
 MANDA MOSHER (credit: Shots By Morrison)ABOUT MANDA MOSHER:
Alt-Americana singer, songwriter and musician MANDA MOSHER recently sharedthe video for her new single “Nobody Gives A Damn About Songs Anymore,” It’s the Los Angeles native’s spirited take on the John Moreland song that will be featured on her third solo album out this fall on her Blackbird Record Label.Directed by Bob Wayne (http://bobwayne.com/) and shot at multiple locations in the San Fernando Valley, the music video was premiered atThe Bluegrass Situation. The uplifting clip, which heartwarmingly underlines the importance of songs, can be seen here. Originally intended as a song to record with CALICO the band, her previous group, it’s been reborn with impassioned harmonies by her guitarist Eric Craig and resounds as fervent proof why songs still matter and always will. “On the new album, I’m returning to my rock n’ roll roots while incorporating elements of the California Country sound I’ve been known for more recently,” says MOSHER. “You’re gonna hear an honest representation of the music, keeping the influence of technology on the production to a minimum in the tradition of some of my favorite recordings from artists that shaped me like Tom Petty, Lucinda Williams, and Wilco. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

THE HU
RELEASE TRAILER FOR THIRD SINGLE/VIDEO,
“THE GREAT CHINGISS KHAAN,” OUT FRIDAY, AUG. 23 FIRST OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE OF 2019
FROM UPCOMING DEBUT ALBUM ‘THE GEREG’ BAND ACCEPT ROLE AS CULTURAL ENVOY OF MONGOLIA
IN ADVANCE OF FIRST-EVER N. AMERICAN TOUR THIS FALL ANNOUNCE VENUE UPGRADES (MILWAUKEE, DENVER) AND SOLD-OUT SHOW (SAN FRANCISCO)
 Photo Credit: E. AltankhuyagThings are heating up for THE HU as they prepare to make their way to North America this fall for their first-ever tour of the continent in support of their upcoming debut album, THE GEREG, due September 13 via Eleven Seven Music. The Mongolian phenomenon, who adventurously combine traditional Mongolian instrumentation and throat-singing with modern American heavy rock to create their own style of music they call “hunnu rock,” have announced the Friday, August 23 launch of the third single and music video for the epic track “The Great Chingiss Khan.”
Following the viral online success of their previous videos for “Wolf Totem” and “Yuve Yuve Yu” in December 2018—which combined have over 40 million views to date–“The Great Chingiss Khan” marks the first official video release from the band in 2019. Filmed at Burkhan Khalduun, the birthplace of Chinggis Khaan, in February of this year in minus 30 degree weather, the cinematic video shares the story of Chinggis Khaan as he is portrayed in Mongolian culture as an inventor and a founding father of the country rather than the worldly view of him as a warrior and conqueror. Watch a message from THE HU along with a teaser of “The Great Chingiss Khaan” in the video below:
THE HU were recently heralded as Cultural Envoy of Mongolia by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Mongolia in a special ceremony live streamed on MNB World, which can be seen here. “Representing Mongolian artists, we have become a Cultural Envoy of Mongolia,” commented band member Jaya (jaw harp, Tsuur, Flute & Throat Singer). “It is a great moment for us. We are very happy. We understand that as an envoy, we are responsible for sharing our cultural heritage with the world.”
THE HU already began their work as envoys with their inaugural performance in their Ulaanbaatar hometown in June 2019. The group then traveled to Europe and the UK for a sold-out 15-date summer tour in addition to performances at several major festivals including Download Festival, Rock im Park, Rock Am Ring, Tons of Rock and more.
They will next embark on their inaugural North American tour over the course of three months from September 11 to December 7 which includes stops at Aftershock Festival (Sacramento), Riot Fest (Chicago) and Las Rageous (Las Vegas). The anticipation for the upcoming shows has received an astounding response with two shows having been immediately moved to higher capacity venues (Milwaukee, Denver) and a sold-out show in San Francisco. Dates can be found below and tickets are on sale now at www.thehuofficial.com. Watch a message from THE HU to U.S. fans here:
Early Critical Praise:
“[The HU] are not just taking elements from Western music… Instead, they’re using some of these elements and making their own authentic music. So it’s not rock music performed by Mongolians. It’s Mongolian rock music.”- January 5, 2019
“You know when you find an artist you’re so enraptured and excited about that you want to tell anyone and everyone who’ll listen about them? That’s how I feel right now about The HU.” – June 7, 2019
 “Hunnu rock has undoubtedly captured a global audience, spreading their transcultural sound across borders.” – May 27, 2019
 “The Hu is the first act since Bad Wolves in February 2018 to top Hard Rock Digital Song Sales with its first charting song.” –April 18, 2019
 “The HU wound up with nine cinematic songs that seamlessly meld their influences, often highlighting the areas where the two overlap… Given the global platform they earned via YouTube, The HU have an entire nation rooting for them with The Gereg.” – August 5, 2019
Catch THE HU on tour in North America:

SINGLE MUSIC Launches New Marketing Tool BOOSTLINKS: Bundling For the Streaming Age
|
DT: AUGUST 13, 2019
FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER, KELLY WALSH/SRO PR
 SINGLE MUSIC
LAUNCHES NEW MARKETING TOOL
CEO + ENTREPREUNEUR/MUSICIAN  SINGLE MUSIC was designed by musician and CEO Tommy Stalknecht to empower artists and labels to directly sell their merch and music with ease while making the most revenue. To further help artists achieve success, the company has developed a new marketing tool to drive follows, subscribes and pre-saves called BoostLinks. The tool allows artists to create a customizable landing page that combines their physical merch with pre-adds, saves and streaming links to increase fan engagement, follows and subscribes. With every purchase, the fan receives an email further ‘boosting’ whichever various channels they choose to promote. Further details can be found here: sn.gl/boost-launch.
Find out more about BoostLinks in the below Q&A with Stalknecht:
SINGLE MUSIC continues to keep growing and is now offering a new marketing tool, BoostLinks, which drives follows, subscribes and shares. Can you talk about how this will benefit both the fans, record labels and the artists who use SINGLE MUSIC?
“As the industry shifts to a streaming-first model, it’s important to update familiar tools like bundling for the new paradigm. Unlike iTunes’ halcyon days where one store carried 80% of the market, streaming has many major & minor players. Fans need a simple way to save or add music to whichever service they prefer.
What inspired SINGLE MUSIC to come up with Boostlinks? Was it something your clients were asking for?
“Looking at trends in the industry, it’s clear that current initiatives center around pre-adds/saves of singles and albums. While d2c digital distribution & bundling remain a core service of Single, our mission is to create tools that benefit artists and their bottom line. We saw a gap in the market around a very common promotional tactic, and thought about ways it could be updated for the streaming-era.”
You are truly making it easier for musicians, who use SINGLE MUSIC, to create and tour by streamlining the process of selling music and merch to their fans. Since you are a musician yourself, can you shed some light on how musicians can benefit from this?
“It’s no secret that the majority of revenue an artist makes comes from touring and merchandise sales. While it’s unfortunate that artists are making less from their art, new technologies are stepping in–like Single & Shopify–to help artists maximize other revenue streams. Unlike platforms that take 10% of physical revenue in perpetuity, Shopify supports merch sales with a flat monthly fee –and Single monetizes direct-to-fan digital sales at less than half the cost of iTunes. Not only do artists keep drastically more money with this model, they have access to an incredible amount of data to help inform things like tour locations & sales strategies.”
###
Aligned with Shopify, SINGLE MUSIC continues to expand boundaries with their innovative app that allows direct-to-consumer sales as well as being the first and only Shopify app to offer BuzzAngle reporting–a new daily sales reporting system that is utilized by the new Rolling Stone Charts. The feature will be included at no additional cost with all digital and physical sales reporting which already includes instant reporting to Nielsen for official Billboard chart tallying.
SINGLE MUSIC now has over 900 artists currently signed up for their service, including Lil Peep, Sheck Wes, Toro Y Moi, Chromeo and newcomers T-Pain, Aaron Lewis and Lil Pump. They have also aligned themselves with many top merchandising companies such as Live Nation Merch, Futureshirts, The Hyv, Absolute Merch, Top Drawer Merch and more.
SINGLE MUSIC has confirmed over 150,000 digital albums purchased and 275,000 total sales reported to Soundscan including Gillian Welch‘s Oscar nominated single “When A Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings,” along with Billboard #1 albums from Thirty Seconds to Mars, Kacey Musgraves, Peter Hollens, For King & Country and John Prine.

|
DT: AUGUST 8, 2019
FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/LYNDIE WENNER, SRO PR
 COLT FORD
RELEASES “SLOW RIDE”
AS LATEST SINGLE AND LYRIC VIDEO
FROM HIS UPCOMING ALBUM,
“WE THE PEOPLE VOLUME 1”
COLT TO PERFORM
AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY IN NASHVILLE
ON SEPTEMBER 17
Country rap pioneer and million-selling artist COLT FORD tomorrow (August 9) releases “Slow Ride” as the latest single from his seventh album WE THE PEOPLE VOLUME 1 (Average Joes Entertainment) due out this fall. The song’s lyric video, featuring footage of FORD on tour, premiered today at Billboard.
On the groove-driven song, FORD raps alongside guest vocals by country artist Mitchell Tenpenny to create a seriously infectious blend.
Notes Billboard: “‘Slow Ride’ features Ford’s unique blend of country storytelling and urban production with his rapid fire lyrics, a thumping bass beat and Tenpenny’s sultry falsetto…With soaring fiddle parts, infectious beats and a seamless blend of Ford and Tenpenny’s distinct singing styles, ‘Slow Ride’ instantly captivates.”
Says FORD: “I wrote ‘Slow Ride’ with Taylor Phillips, Josh Mirenda, Jared Sciullo and Justin David Bertoldie, who plays fiddle in my band. I just love the way this song makes me feel, it takes me to a happy place and Mitchell’s voice is Amazing. It gets ya hooked quick I think and you wanna roll the windows down, turn it up and head down the road “
“I’ve been a Colt Ford fan for a long time,” says Mitchell Tenpenny, “so when I got the call it was a no brainer.”
“Slow Ride” follows the first single, the anthemic and driving “We The People,” from FORD‘s upcoming album. The song’s video was world premiered in June on CMT (http://averagejoesent.co/WeThePeople_Video), which also published FORD‘s moving essay, “We the People: Thoughts About Finding Common Ground,“ about the need for unity: http://www.cmt.com/news/1808212/colt-ford-advocates-for-unity-in-we-the-people/
FORD and his band are currently touring the country this summer, with a special appearance set for September 17 at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville alongside Dillon Carmichael, Mark Wills, The Mavericks and more. The entire line up will be announced the week of the show. Tickets are on sale now here.
