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 a songwriter, her groundbreaking crossover #1 single “If I Die Young” (with its current 9x platinum status and over 200 million video views) helped Kimberly burst on to the world stage. 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.”

“High On You” Track Artwork by Mark Wilkinson
(Download HERE)

CROSSBONE SKULLY have teamed up with Mötley Crüe bassist and founding member Nikki Sixx on their latest track, the seriously red hot “High On You,” a song about romantic obsession with an anthemic shout-it-to-the-heavens chorus. The song and its artwork—designed by Mark Wilkinson (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest)—nods to the plight of ‘Crossbone Skully,’ the central character in a parallel mythology developed by the band’s founder and frontman Tommy Henriksen. His story is unfolded in CROSSBONE SKULLY’s upcoming debut album EVIL WORLD MACHINE, set for release on November 22 via Better Noise Music. The narrative will also expand in a forthcoming graphic novel and animated film, Thing #1, due in 2025, which features voiceovers by SIXX.

“Crossbone Skully is doing something visually unique while blending kickass riffs and great songwriting with this project,” says SIXX. “I’m excited for them and can’t wait for everyone to experience it.”

Henriksen (who’s also the guitarist and musical director for Alice Cooper’s band and member of Hollywood Vampires) says of the track: “‘High On You’ shows the taste of young, pure love…the type that gets you hooked on the bug! Love is an everlasting drug!”

Watch the music video for “High On You” streaming below or directly via YouTube HERE. Stream/download “High On You” HERE.

CROSSBONE SKULLY’s debut album EVIL WORLD MACHINE was executive produced by the legendary Mutt Lange, who emerged from retirement just for this project.

EVIL WORLD MACHINE is a rock concept album that echoes similar dystopian visions such as David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Diamond Dogs.

Henriksen enlisted a sterling group of supporting musicians for the album including guitarist Tommy Denander, keyboardist Jamie Muhoberac (My Chemical Romance, John Mayer, Seal), bassist Chris Wyse (Hollywood Vampires, Ace Frehley, The Cult, Ozzy Osbourne), drummer Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), the late UFO bassist Pete Way, mixer Olle Romo (Muse, Bryan Adams) and producer/mixer Mike Plotnikoff (AC/DC, Aerosmith).

Spoken-word appearances appear throughout the album from A-list actor/musician and fellow Hollywood Vampires bandmate Johnny Depp as the voice of “The Sorcerer,” Alice Cooper as “The Bringer of Light,” Joe Perry as “Big Bad Bone Crusher”, Nikki Sixx as “The Crooked Crow,” and Kane Roberts as “Alpha Watchman.”

Pre-orders for EVIL WORLD MACHINE digitally as well as on CD, Vinyl and various merch bundle options are available now at https://crossboneskully.ffm.to/ewmalbum.

ABOUT IAN GOTHE:
Born to an Armenian family in Iran, Ian Gothe spent much of his adolescence traveling across continents in search of a home. A childhood filled with loss and loneliness provided the impetus for Gothe to continually turn to music as his friend and confidant. His initial inspiration came from a recording of the Doors “Spanish Caravan,” a song well known for its complex and compelling guitar riffs that still capture audience’s attention today. Gothe was not immune, and his petition for a guitar of his own was driven by his desire to play those well-worn, haunting lines with ease. After Gothe and his hard-won guitar left Iran before the revolution, the 14-year-old lived with family in England and later made his way to the United States by way of a year in Baltimore before finally settling in Los Angeles, where he lives today.

Gothe’s musical career has been marked by false starts and missed opportunities, a reality not unexpected for a young man in the throes of wandering and learning about both music and life on his own. In his twenties Gothe composed a high-energy dance song “Cleopatra” produced by Christian De Walden, that became a number one hit in Italy. Years of career pursuits and family life relegated music to an occasional hobby, but after the dissolution of his 20-year marriage, Gothe returned to music, his first love. Allowing him to create projects from both his heart and soul. Citing the influences of British bands such as Camel and Genesis, and many less well-known musicians, Gothe’s style is an eclectic triumph that fuses not only musical genres but also crosses language barriers as well with songs that feature both English and his native Armenian.

DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2024

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK, SRO PR

STAR-STUDDED NIGHT IN HOLLYWOOD FOR VIP OPENING OF
“A MOMENT IN TIME” PHOTOGRAPHY/ART EXHIBITION
FEATURING THE PAINTINGS OF BILLY MORRISON BASED ON IMAGES PHOTOGRAPHED BY MARK WEISS
EVENT PRESENTED BY X5 PODCAST AND MOTOR CARS LA

SURPRISE GUEST BILLY IDOL
PERFORMS HIS CLASSIC “REBEL YELL”
WATCH IDOL’S PERFORMANCE WITH BILLY MORRISON HERE

Billy Idol, Corey Feldman, Gilby Clarke, Steve-O, Tommy Thayer (KISS), and Kevin Martin (Candlebox) were among the 300 guests who packed Motor Cars LA Showroom in Hollywood, CA on September 19 for the VIP opening of the “A Moment In Time” photography/art exhibition in Hollywood, CA. Recording artist and contemporary fine artist BILLY MORRISON and world-renowned photographer MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS came together for one weekend only—September 19, 20, and 21—to showcase a series of unique paintings by Morrison, based on the iconic images photographed by Weiss of such artists as Ozzy Osbourne, Tom Petty, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS, and more. The event was presented by X5 Podcast and Motor Cars LA. Watch the livestream of the event HERE, view a performance by Billy Idol and Billy Morrison HERE, and see the photos by Jane Stuart below.

At this red-carpet event, Rock N Roll and Fine Art collided with multi-million-dollar supercars in the entertainment capital of the world. The night was highlighted by a performance from singer, songwriter and guitarist Morrison, who was joined by Idol on a fiery version on his signature smash “Rebel Yell” (Morrison is the second guitarist in Idol’s band along with Steve Stevens). Morrison and musicians Jacob Bunton (guitar, vocals), Brett Scallions (bass, vocals), Erik Eldenius (drums), and Paul Trudeau (keyboards) also performed red-hot covers of “I Fought The Law” (Bobby Fuller Four, The Clash), “Basket Case” (Green Day), “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” (Bob Dylan, Guns N’ Roses), and “Surrender” (Cheap Trick). Former Guns N’ Roses member Gilby Clarke also played guitar and sang on “Dead Flowers” by The Rolling Stones.

Throughout the sprawling Motor Cars LA Showroom were 12 unique canvas pieces from Morrison, and high-end editions of the same photographs from Weiss, with a special 13th painting and prints going to support mental health, suicide prevention and trauma counseling through the Above Ground charity spearheaded by Morrison and Dave Navarro, Jane’s Addiction’s guitarist.

BILLY MORRISON

He has developed successful careers in multiple genres, as a rock guitarist (with Billy Idol for the past 15 years), a solo recording artist, and as a contemporary fine artist. Self-study and experimentation are the essence of Morrison’s process, working with oil paints and spray in a Warhol-esque aesthetic. Morrison’s iconic style mimics the effects of multilayered screen printing through a street art approach with the use of stencils.

MARK “WEISSGUY” WEISS

He is a world-renowned photographer who has traveled the globe photographing legends from Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, and Mötley Crüe to Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Bon Jovi, and KISS. Weiss’ inimitable photographs helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s.

CHARLIE REECE / X5 PODCAST

Charlie Reece, the multifaceted businessman, musician, and founder of the X5 Podcast, has been making waves from his professional studio in Alabama. Known for his deep love of rock ‘n’ roll, Charlie is not just a podcast host but also a rock/country artist with an upcoming album. The X5 Podcast, which airs weekly, has been featured by Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Entertainment Tonight, NME, Loudwire, and Guitar.com, and is a lighthearted and culturally relevant mix of comedy and conversation with rock stars, personalities and comedians. As a collector of Billy Morrison’s art, Reece’s admiration for his work led to the birth of this anticipated collaboration show with iconic 80’s photographer, Mark Weiss.

MEGADETH Statement Offers Clarity On Recent Show Cancellation

DATE: SEPTEMBER 23, 2024

FROM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER/KELLY WALSH

MEGADETH STATEMENT OFFERS CLARITY
ON RECENT SHOW CANCELLATION

Based on Peter Frampton’s recent statement, MEGADETH feels it’s important to clear up some misinformation about the group’s recent show cancellation (Sunday, September 15 at Virginia Credit Union Live! at Richmond Raceway in Richmond, Virginia). As recently reported, Frampton stated that MEGADETH’s soundcheck damaged the venue, forcing Frampton to also cancel his show there a few days later.

MEGADETH did not even get a chance to sound check at all in Richmond, Virginia contrary to what Peter Frampton reports. MEGADETH‘s rigger was in the venue’s steel grid system above the stage getting ready to hang the lights when he noticed there was damage to the venue’s grid. He pointed this out immediately to the promoters and the venue. It was determined that it was unsafe for MEGADETH to hang their production or put the band on stage at the risk of in-house grid failure to support the weight of the touring lighting and sound which could fall on the band, crew members, or audience, as it could cause serious injury or death. Therefore, MEGADETH, the local promoter, the venue, and booking agents had no other option than to cancel the show.

“It seems Frampton was misinformed about our show being cancelled,” says MEGADETH’s DAVE MUSTAINE.” “The decision was purely based on safety. It’s disappointing when someone you admire talks out their ass about you.”

ABOUT DIRTY HEADS
Since 2003, Dirty Heads have mixed rock, reggae, and hip-hop to create a unique sound that both fully embodies their Southern California roots and resonates with audiences around the globe. Nearly twenty years ago, the group formed when punk rocker Dustin Bushnell (aka Duddy B) asked his friend, rapper Jared Watson (aka Dirty J), to collaborate on a project that would focus on positive vibes and infectious grooves. Watson added singing to his vocal skills, and with percussionist Jon Olazabal, an acoustic trio version of Dirty Heads began playing shows and building an audience.

In 2008, they released the acclaimed album Any Port in a Storm, with a deluxe edition following in 2010. The deluxe version featured the track “Lay Me Down” with special guest Rome Ramirez of Sublime with Rome. The song reached number one on Billboard’s Alternative Songs in May 2010. Nine weeks later, it established a record as the song with the longest stint atop the chart for an independently released title and remained at the #1 spot for a total of eleven weeks.

They followed up two years later with Cabin by the Sea and later recorded an acoustic version of the title track. This, in turn, led to an entire acoustic album in 2013 called Home: Phantoms of Summer. Dirty Heads’ next album, Sound of Change, would prove to be a breakthrough for the now-veteran band, debuting at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 while topping the Independent and Alternative Albums charts upon its May 2014 release.

Building on their renewed success, Dirty Heads enlisted a bevy of industry hitmakers to work on their self-titled 2016 follow-up, which — thanks to its mainstream appeal — again charted high on the Billboard Top 200. The following year saw the band drop its sixth studio album, SWIM TEAM, featuring the single “Vacation.” The band’s global appeal reached new heights in 2021, when their hit “Vacation” garnered over 4 billion views and streams across social media via the ubiquitous #VacationTransition challenge that originated organically with users on TikTok. The song saw an 850% increase in consumption on Spotify, introducing Dirty Heads to new international fans by the millions. They celebrated with a series of “Vacation” remixes and new renditions of the track on their 2021 album The Best of Dirty Heads (Better Noise Music), which included collaborations with Travis Barker and Aimee Interrupter of The Interrupters.
