“Lighthouse” Single Artwork

Los Angeles-based group SILOS combine anthemic alternative/hard rock melodies with an elixir of EDM-infused beats and pop-punk riffs to create their uniquely captivating sound. Formed and fronted by RAY GARRISON (also known under the pseudonym Phynx from his former DJ career), SILOS have today (November 13) shared the music video for the new single “Lighthouse” featuring Shifty of CrazyTown which can be seen streaming below or via YouTube HERE. Taken from the band’s debut full-length album due Spring 2024 via Judge & Jury Records (Starset, Diamante), “Lighthouse” is co-produced by GARRISON alongside Judge & Jury Records co-owner and multi-platinum Grammy-nominated producer HOWARD BENSON (All American Rejects, Three Days Grace, Daughtry). The impassioned lyrics reflect GARRISON finding love and celebrating two years of sobriety after struggling with addiction. Out digitally, pre-save “Lighthouse (feat. Shifty of CrazyTown)” HERE.

“‘Lighthouse’ is a very special song about finding love in a dark place,” shares GARRISON. “Coming out of a long battle of addiction and into a new journey of sobriety, I met someone who helped carry me through and light my path. Also, in this time frame I met Seth ‘Shifty’ from Crazy Town who was on a similar journey. After I had this song, I couldn’t think of a better person to feature on it and be in the music video. He’s a ladies’ man, an OG and understands the lyrics more than anyone I know. This song is a supersonic blast through pop, rock and electronic and the music video we have for this is as EPIC as can be. We are excited for ‘Lighthouse.’”

SILOS was formed in 2022 by former DJ, producer and singer-songwriter GARRISON. The band released their debut EP earlier this year, INSATIABLE which featured fan-favored singles “If I Fall,” “Mind Eraser” and title track “Insatiable.” A remix version of the EP, INSATIABLE REMIXES VOL. 001, shortly followed with mixes from GARRISON and BLVCK CROWZ.

While based out of LA, the members of SILOS hail from all over the world–bassist Philip Strange Nielsen (ex-CrazyTown) from Denmark, guitarist Nick Dromin from Ukraine, and drummer David Rehmann and guitarist Ramón Blanco Ariza hail from Spain; both formerly played as touring members for Grandson.

The band will perform live in Los Angeles, CA on December 1 at the infamous Whisky-A-Go-Go with industrial legends ORGY. Tickets are on-sale now HERE.

AMERICANA/FOLK SINGER-SONGWRITER’S ALBUM
‘RIDDLE OF STARS’
DUE NOVEMBER 17 VIA BLACKBIRD RECORD LABEL
PRE-SAVE IT HERE

VAMPIRES cover art

Americana/folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JEREMY SQUIRES will release his fourth album via Blackbird Record Label and 12^th overall album, RIDDLE OF STARS, on November 17. The album was written following the loss of his longtime musical collaborator, drummer and friend, Carlos Ventura and includes nine heart-stirring songs, including one that was originally written as a poem as a goodbye for his friend’s funeral (“Blood Pact”). RIDDLE OF STARS was solely written, performed, and produced entirely by SQUIRES, who utilized carefully crafted minimalism, primarily by way of guitar finger-picking, piano, and the occasional pedal steel guitar or organ to create its haunting dreamscapes along with SQUIRES self-directing and filming a series of visually narrative videos to accompany its singles. Digital pre-saves for RIDDLE OF STARS are available HERE.

SQUIRES has today, November 7, shared the abstract video for RIDDLE OF STARS’ second single, “Vampires.” Watch it streaming below or via YouTube HERE. “This is right up the alley of any fan of stripped down, slow and vulnerable music,” proclaims Americana Highways. They continue their praise, highlighting the song’s lyrics: “‘Oh these vampires tearing at the seams, taking every drop of everything they want from me. Goodnight angel.’ Don’t underestimate the power of the meaning here, it’s dark and intense. Gorgeous outdoor scenes of snowy cold and winterscapes hold your imagination exactly where the song takes you.”

SQUIRES reveals his personal connection to the song’s inspiration sharing,”‘Vampires’ is about my struggles with letting go, getting so deep in your own head that you feel like you can’t escape from a continuous loop and coming to the realization that nothing is permanent. Everything comes full circle in the end.”

“I shot this video in various locations over the span of 3 years,” SQUIRES adds. “I got to meet new people in somewhat awkward circumstances, but it was a very beautiful experience filled with so many emotions. I carefully chose the imagery and edited the colors to match the cold as well as the vibrancy that I see and feel that this song is about.”

RIDDLE OF STARS track listing:
1. Valley
2. Blood Pact
3. Play Dead
4. Omens
5. Vampires
6. Carousels
7. Please Stay
8. Heart Swell
9. Graveyard

SQUIRES consistently holds space for his artistic expression in more than one medium, living and breathing within cycles of poetry, photography and music. As many artists ultimately leave their hometowns to explore larger cities like Los Angeles and New York, SQUIRES’ life in the Inner Banks of North Carolina from childhood has steadfastly served the inspiration for his music.. Raised by his grandmother in New Bern, NC, and the son of a published poet, his mother, and a father that gifted him a flea market guitar when he was a child, SQUIRES began teaching himself to play by way of writing songs and learning Bad Religion and Nirvana songs, eventually leading him into forming punk bands.

Jeremy and Carlos met at age 12 and 13, the beginning of nearly three decades of brotherhood and artistic collaboration. “We were musical soulmates,” says SQUIRES. Neither one of them formally trained, the two experimented with bands before officially becoming a professionally touring band, Andrea’s Truth, playing shows at venues and skate parks up and down the east coast. In a surprising turn of events, after recording their debut album, the studio burned down with their files. However, fans initiated a network of passing around bootleg VHS tapes from their live shows which in turn secured their mark and influence on a thriving indie punk music scene in their region.

Becoming a father at only age 21, SQUIRES took a job at a faucet factory and paused from touring for several years until he returned in 2005 to his career in music, photography, and restoring vintage guitars. This is when he began learning to record on his own, playing all instruments with Carlos adding drums on multiple songs throughout his catalogue, unfortunately passing suddenly before being able to track drums for RIDDLE OF STARS.

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX Releases ‘The Doman Tracks’; Shares Music Video for “Bits And Pieces”

RECORD RELEASE SHOW SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 29 AT THE TROUBADOUR WITH LABELMATES MANDA MOSHER AND ABBY POSNER

THE DOMAN TRACKS cover art

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter HEATHER ANNE LOMAX released her debut album via Blackbird Record Label, THE DOMAN TRACKS, on November 3 which consists of eight collaborative songs recorded with the late Michael Doman, formerly the singer-songwriter-producer of the noted ‘80s L.A. rock band Broken Homes. The pair cut the intimate material during two years of recording sessions, and they were set aside until HEATHER revisited them following DOMAN’s untimely death from a brain ailment in December of 2020. With LOMAX on lead vocals and guitar, Doman sang duet and added background vocals and the pair enlisted guitarist JEFF SEBENS in addition to support from various other local players to record the tracks live. The album’s engineer JASON HILLER added bass parts later. Stream/download THE DOMAN TRACKS digitally HERE or grab a copy on CD HERE.

HEATHER has shared the music video for the single “Bits And Pieces” (originally written by Eric Nelson) featuring duet vocals with DOMAN. The track is featured twice on the album, with the second version—the closing track—being a solo vocal performance from HEATHER with cello accompaniment by Michelle Packman as a touching tribute to DOMAN. “In an age of disposable auto-tuned hits, Lomax brings an authenticity and musical integrity to the party and with this track she delivers an almost understated vocal performance that spotlights some of the qualities that made her a star in the Americana scene,” lauds antiMusic. “Lyrically, the song is a bittersweet duet of loss that captures the dynamics of Buckingham Nicks and at the same time recalls the golden age of the Topanga Canyon music scene which is only reinforced by the video that gives fans a fly on the wall look at the live sessions that made up this special collaborative album.” Watch “Bits And Pieces” streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“It’s not what you take when you’re living
It’s what you leave behind when you go”
— “Bits and Pieces”

“I remember asking Michael to sing ‘Bits And Pieces ’with me as a duet,” recalls HEATHER. “For some reason I felt intuitively that he should sing it with me, initially he just wanted me to sing it alone. He finally acquiesced and that is what you hear as the second track on the record. As fate would have it, the duet version of ‘Bits And Pieces’ became much more of a poignant song to me after Michael’s passing.”

“A friend, Eric Nelson, wrote this tune about the passing of his father, and his words really resonated with me. Michael wanted this tune to have more of a soulful groove, so he came up with the current version on the record which we recorded as a duet. The last track version of ‘Bits And Pieces’ is closer to the original song, written by Eric, and includes a mournful cello played by Michelle Packman. In my opinion, the last track captures the loneliness and sorrow of losing a loved one in your life.”

LOMAX will be performing a special record release show for THE DOMAN TRACKS in Los Angeles at the Troubadour on November 29 with special guests Manda Mosher and Abby Posner (who are also part of Blackbird Record Label). Tickets are on sale now HERE. LOMAX has previously opened for Wynonna and The Big Noise, Lee Ann Womack, Blake Shelton, Kenny Rogers, Jeff Bridges, John Hiatt, Richie Furay, Don McLean, Judy Collins, Marshall Tucker Band, Joan Osborne, Melanie, Blood Sweat & Tears and War. See a list of all her upcoming shows below.

Platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio-charting Los Angeles group BAD WOLVES get personal on their new album DIE ABOUT IT, out today, November 3, via Better Noise Music. The Los Angeles-based group—John Boecklin [drums], Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz [lead vocals], Doc Coyle [lead guitar, backing vocals] and Kyle Konkiel [bass, backing vocals]— deliver 13 tracks of earthquaking heaviness and distinctive melodies on DIE ABOUT IT while experimenting and redefining their sound including nods to inspirations as diverse as The 1975 and Meshuggah. Co-produced with Josh Gilbert (As I Lay Dying) alongside Boecklin and DL, BAD WOLVES tackle themes of dismissing bullies and trolls, dissolving toxic friendships, and dealing with loss and addiction with unconstraint. DIE ABOUT IT is available now on digital download, CD, cassette and multiple color vinyl variants at https://badwolves.ffm.to/dieaboutit.

“From the artwork to the music our new album feels more personal,” says Boecklin. “This album is about us surviving through lawsuits, the member changes, the online hate, and the false narratives. We wanna bring back the energy of us making music because we want to, not all the other crap. The album title is a sarcastic statement towards those debating online in turmoil, defending or pushing their own beliefs to the point of absurdity. If you’re gonna cry about it, then you might as well ‘Die About It.’ Leave us out of it.”

BAD WOLVES have today shared a lyric video for their anthemic new single, “Savior,” a track written about someone being there for you in your time of need. Watch it now streaming below or HERE. The group’s first official radio single, “Legends Never Die,” is currently in the Top 20 on the Active Rock radio charts and rising. To date, it has garnered over 1 million streams and 344k video views.

“This album is like having your cake and eating it too. Bad Wolves have mastered an accessible blend of big rock choruses paired with exciting metal riffs… and I’m here for it.”
– Jonny Hawkins (Nothing More)

The band will hit the road later this Fall with British rock icons BUSH on their “Nothing To Go But Everywhere” North American tour alongside labelmates Eva Under Fire from November 14 to December 6. BAD WOLVES have announced a series of headlining shows before and after the tour with support from Eva Under Fire and Uncured. See full dates listed below.

Lauded by Earmilk as one of 2023’s “acts to watch out for,” Los Angeles-based pop-punk & hip-hop infused singer-songwriter CHLOE STAR has released a cinematic music video for her new single “Fool,” which premiered today, November 2, via YouTube. The “Fool” music video was directed by Ricardo Emmanuel (Usher, Nike) and is the first of an anthology of upcoming videos that will be paired with songs from her recording session with producer Kevin Thrasher (Gwen Stefani, Blink 182, Machine Gun Kelly). Watch “Fool” music video streaming below or on YouTube HERE. Stream/download “Fool” digitally at https://too.fm/y1maryl.

“Shooting the music video was quite an experience because I was able to tap into a character that let me play as another version of myself,” reveals CHLOE. “I wrote this song while I was in a place where I thought every decision that I was making was foolish. Foolish, because I wasn’t given any instruction manual on how to move through life. I didn’t have any proper example set when it came to intimate relationships, friendships, or self-love when growing up, which kinda just set me up for failure. I cannot confirm or deny if the music video is based on actual events. I’ll leave that up to the viewer.”

Having both Indigenous and Persian heritage, CHLOE uses her distinct sound to amplify the voices of her bloodline. Her lush, electro-pop vocal stylings and trap-infused beats stem from influences including icons such as Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain as well as modern-day acts including Jessie Rayes, Billie Eilish, and Willow. CHLOE released her debut single “Element” in January and soon followed it up with “Straight Girls,” which shared her journey exploring her own sexuality and identifying as gay, which garnered over 64K YouTube views.

It’s D I Y,” it’s a fitting statement regarding SONIC TONIC.

“The song is about getting back up when you are down, and being the only one that can change your own fate,” shares MAX. “If you want to ‘race’ again, it’s going to be because you made it happen yourself.”

Grammy-winning producer, composer, percussionist and writer BARRETT MARTIN will be hitting the road tonight, Tuesday, October 31, to kick off his one-man show, the “Singing Earth Tour 2023,” in support of his new book THE GREATEST BAND THAT EVER WASN’T: THE STORY OF THE SCREAMING TREES due November 3 via Sunyata Books and his forthcoming music and travel series “Singing Earth with Barrett Martin” via VEVO. The tour will kick off in Seattle, WA at Here-After and will wrap around the East Coast and back ending in Denver, CO on December 10 at HQ. See full dates listed below. Tickets can be found HERE. The tour will include stories from MARTIN’s 30-year history in the music industry including his time drumming for Seattle’s pioneering and iconic grunge/rock acts Skin Yard, supergroup Mad Season (including Mike McCready of Pearl Jam and Layne Staley of Alice in Chains), Walking Papers (including Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses) and Screaming Trees and stories from his work producing over 100 rock, blues, jazz, and world music albums including REM, Queens of The Stone Age¸ Mad Season and Blues legend CeDell Davis.

I just thought, well, I’m no longer in a rock band and it’s been 10 years since I toured the United States and Europe. Maybe I should just go out there, tell some good stories about my music adventures around the world, and show some of the short films from my new series. I’m even playing various music instruments for the soundtrack to the films, so it’s quite a multi-media adventure. It’s a very different kind of show, but I think people are going to love it.”

Galvanizing modern classic rock trio THE BLACK MOODS are excited to announce their new single, an electrifying cover of The Doors’ 1970’s hit “Roadhouse Blues,” which features none other than The Doors’ guitarist Robby Krieger himself and rock singer-songwriter Diamante. The track will be available digitally Friday, October 20; pre-save it HERE. Recorded at Krieger’s Los Angeles studio, Love Street Sound, the band recorded the cover with most of the same gear used by The Doors in its original recording, keeping its nostalgic and gritty sound while allowing THE BLACK MOODS to add their modern flair. THE BLACK MOODS—JOSH KENNEDY (vocals, guitar), CHICO DIAZ (drums), and JORDAN HOFFMAN (bass)—have today (October 19) debuted the music video for “Roadhouse Blues (feat. Robby Krieger and Diamante),” which features live footage from the recording session. Watch it streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“The Doors have meant a lot to us, from our band name to the way we approach playing and songwriting,” shares KENNEDY. “Getting to record this song with Robby 53 years after he recorded it with The Doors is something I can’t describe…just unbelievable. Having Diamante add her incredible vocals on it just took it over the top.”

“Lately, I seem to meet more and more young muscians who are into The Doors,” says KRIEGER. “It was really fun recording ‘Roadhouse Blues’ with The Black Moods. They seem to connect with 60’s style music.”

“‘Roadhouse Blues’ was the first rock song I ever performed on a stage, so when The Black Moods, whose classic rock vibe I really dig, asked if I wanted to sing on their version alongside THE Robby Krieger, it was an absolute yes from me,” exclaims Diamante. “Recording the song was a very full circle moment and an all-around epic experience.”

THE BLACK MOODS have partnered with Gibson to host a guitar giveaway contest surrounding the single for an Epiphone hand-signed guitar by all three band members, Robby Krieger, and Diamante. The deadline to enter is Friday, November 17 and a winner will be announced on Monday, November 20 across the band’s socials. U.S.-based fans only can enter to win now at https://theblackmoods.com/signed-guitar-giveaway/.

THE BLACK MOODS play raw, amplified rock & roll. A classic power trio for the modern world, they turn the genre’s timeless ingredients—electric guitar, anthemic hooks, and percussive punch—into a sound that’s both contemporary and climactic. Based out of Phoenix, AZ, the band have relentlessly toured across North America alongside acts including The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Collective Soul, The Dead Daisies and The Gin Blossoms and made festival appearances at Aftershock and Roger Clyne’s Circus Mexicus. The trio released their fourth album INTO THE NIGHT in 2022 via Wit Hustle/The Orchard/Steelhorse Entertainment with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down) which was lauded by Metal Edge Magazine as “raw, riff-heavy, blues-drenched rock delivered with a nod to the classic acts that came before them, but filtered through a youthful, high-energy lens.” It also saw THE BLACK MOODS release their own limited-edition beer, “Hollywood & Lime,” with Phoenix’s Walter Station Brewery as well as a limited-release bourbon “Bad News Bourbon” via Phoenix’s SanTan Brewing Company.

THE BLACK MOODS’ seminal 2020 album SUNSHINE earned the band four Top 30 singles–including their first-ever Top 20 charting hit with title track, “Sunshine,” which peaked at #16 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock radio charts. The band have garnered strong hometown support throughout their career including cover features from Entertainer! Magazine and Phoenix New Times in addition to features and appearances via The Arizona Republic, AZFamily (CBS5) “Good Morning Arizona,” Arizona PBS, and a half-time performance for the Phoenix Suns (NBA) 2022 semi-finals game.

DEBUT EP DUE IN 2024 WITH PRODUCER
KEVIN THRASHER (GWEN STEFANI, BLINK 182, MACHINE GUN KELLY)

“Cuz I’m foolish
Screw this
Nobody taught me to do this”

Emerging pop-punk/hip-hop artist CHLOE STAR underlines learning life lessons the hard way in her new single “Fool,” out today, October 19 across digital platforms, stream it HERE. Born and raised in San Bernardino, CA, CHLOE embraces her Indigenous and Persian heritage to amplify her unique sound along with inspiration from music idols ranging from icons such as Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain to modern-day artists including Jessie Rayes, Billie Eilish, and Willow. CHLOE has aligned with producer Kevin Thrasher (Gwen Stefani, Blink 182, Machine Gun Kelly) on her upcoming as-yet-untitled debut EP due in early 2024 which will include “Fool” among two previously released singles and additional new tracks. A cinematic music video for “Fool” is set to be released on Thursday, November 2.

“I wrote this song while I was in a place where I thought every decision I was making was foolish. Foolish, because I wasn’t given any instruction manual on how to move through life,” says CHLOE. “I didn’t have any proper examples set when it came to intimate relationships, friendships, or self-love which kinda just set me up for failure.”

On recording her new EP with Kevin Thrasher, CHLOE adds: “Working with Thrasher was a musical awakening because I finally found someone who understood me musically. He was able to really push me to the next level as an artist and I am so grateful for that. His process is so admirable. Being able to watch how he works puts a lot into perspective when it comes to production. Also, it was just so much fun being in the studio with him!”

CHLOE released her debut single “Element” in January and soon followed it up with “Straight Girls” in March which garnered over 64K YouTube views. “Straight Girls” was praised by Earmilk for exploring her sexuality with “honest and empowering production” and its “lush electro-pop vocal lines laid over catchy instrumentals framed by trap-infused beats” while also hailing CHLOE as “an act to watch out for.”

British rock luminaries ASKING ALEXANDRIA are excited to announce their current single “Psycho” has landed a No.1 spot on Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts this week and has consecutively stayed at the #1 position on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock charts for the third week in a row.

Having received over 2 million streams and 1 million video views the electrifying track is taken from their critically acclaimed eighth album, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?, released in August via Better Noise Music. ASKING ALEXANDRIA—Ben Bruce (lead guitar), Danny Worsnop (vocals), Cameron Liddell (rhythm guitar), Sam Bettley (bass) and James Cassells (drums)—previously earned their first #1 rock radio single with 2021’s “Alone Again” from their debut release via Better Noise Music, See What’s On The Inside and have established themselves as one of the most important rock bands of this generation through years of hard touring, four RIAA Gold-certified singles, two #1 albums and several Top 10 hits.

“Thank you so much to everyone who has listened and is listening to this song and a huge thank you to everyone behind the scenes helping it climb the charts and reach new audiences,” states ASKING ALEXANDRIA lead guitarist BEN BRUCE. “It’s exciting reaching new goals and it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team and our incredible fans. Thank you all so much.”

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? was produced and mixed by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, From First To Last), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Deftones, Metallica) and Will Borza. The album is a culmination of the band’s career, melding their flagship sound with experimental electronics while its lyrics cover the band’s trademark themes of disenchantment, loss, anxiety, and dejection. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? is available now on CD, cassette, vinyl and digital download at https://askingalexandria.ffm.to/wdwgfh.

“Brit metal heroes Asking Alexandria dive into their deep bag of influences for an accomplished and gripping eighth studio offering … veering from blast furnace metalcore to surprisingly deft melodic arrangements with apparent ease.”
– Kerrang! (8/22)

“A heady cocktail of energy, anthems, stomps, choruses, riffs, chugs, electro-pulses, great dynamics… ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ feels like a band all in the zone and up for re-planting their flag. And this isn’t a free-for-all, the overall tone across the album is emphatic, vibrant contemporary rock, but with a little more shaking it up than for a little while.”
– Ghost Cult Magazine (8/23)

ASKING ALEXANDRIA recently wrapped a co-headlining tour across the U.S. with Better Noise Music labelmates THE HU which saw the band perform at several major rock festivals including Rocklahoma, Louder than Life and Blue Ridge Rock Festival. KNAC praised their performance stating: “Asking Alexandria hit the stage will all of the excitement and raw energy that their fans have come to expect. Touring in support of their new album ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’ the setlist included new songs as well as some of their older and heavier favorites, giving everyone something to savor. As he (Worsnop) transitioned from melodies to screams, his voice remained flawless.”
