Americana/folk singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JEREMY SQUIRES will release his fourth album via Blackbird Record Label and 12th 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.”

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”

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.

New UK Band KillerStar, With Bowie Collaborators, Today Unveil 2nd Single/Video “Falling Through”

HEADLINE ALBUM LAUNCH SHOW AT LONDON’S 100 CLUB
ON MARCH 16

“Crunchy hooks form the bedrock of the track, which weaves together interstellar synths, kaleidoscopic electronic soundscapes and ethereal harmonies.” – Guitar World

“Their sound is distinctively Bowiesque: crunchy power chords leading the way into a supremely catchy tune whose infectious hook will immediately have fans finding parallels with their late idol.”Louder Than War (UK)

As unveiled on their debut single “Should’ve Known Better,” Rob Fleming and James Sedge’s new band KillerStar weaves modernist touches into the classic harmonies and exemplary musicianship of classic rock and art-rock from the ‘70s. And they’ve joined forces team of musicians known for their work with David Bowie: Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone.

Today (November 3), KillerStar take another step towards the March 1 release of their self-titled debut album by sharing the video for their second single “Falling Through.” It’s an ambitious, audacious adventure of a track, a song of two halves which recalls Pink Floyd in the way that it begins as a ballad before taking off on a journey into the cosmos via a soaring saxophone solo from Donny McCaslin (a contributor to Bowie’s Blackstar album). Watch the imagery-rich video HERE and listen to the song, out November 3, HERE.

Rob Fleming says, “‘Falling Through’ is about a moment in time and finding tranquility and taking in the surroundings, the ocean, sky, sun. The song builds and takes a left turn with Donny McCaslin providing soaring saxophone, full of emotion.”

This version of “Falling Through” is a different version to the one that will feature on KillerStar’s debut album, having been remixed as an alternative version by Mark Plati, one of Bowie’s key collaborators on records such as Earthling, Reality, and Heathen.

Rob Fleming (vocals, guitars, synths) and James Sedge (drums) formed KillerStar to express their love of timeless music ranging from the primeval rock n’ roll of the early 1970s to contemporary indie. The array of Bowie collaborators arose partly by design, but mostly by chance. Having recorded a set of demos, Rob asked Emm Gryner to contribute vocals, who, in turn, suggested he should contact Earl Slick. Step-by-step, one Bowie alumni led to another, resulting in Bowie’s spirit sparkling throughout KillerStar’s cocktail of earthy rock and nightclub glamour. The album was produced by Rob and James, mixed by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers), with digital mastering by Joe La Porta and vinyl mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.

KillerStar’s debut album is available to pre-order HERE. It will be released on CD, black vinyl, a limited edition 180-gram gold vinyl pressing, and digital formats.

KillerStar will play a special UK album launch show at London’s 100 Club on March 16th. Rob and James will be joined by three of the key musicians on the album in the shape of Earl Slick (guitar), Mark Plati (bass) and Emm Gryner (backing vocals), and the line-up will be completed by keyboardist Dom Beken (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, The Orb). Tickets are available HERE.

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.

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 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.”

Known as The World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Experience, the group will follow this year’s dates with a massive 2024 world tour. It’s a 90-city tour of North America, plus shows in 45 cities in the UK, and Europe to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Pulse and The Division Bell albums. More details about the 2024 dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

The fall 2023 50 Years of Dark Side tour features over two and a half hours of Pink Floyd music encompassing the band’s iconic career. BRIT FLOYD’s team have created a show that includes state-of-the-art visuals (lights, lasers, and animation) which are all presented with immersive soundscapes and virtuosic musicianship. When the tour wraps, the 50 Years of Dark Side trek will have encompassed more than 108 dates with return stops in many markets, alongside first-ever performances in other markets. The Dark Side Of The Moon, released in 1973, is one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time and includes Pink Floyd’s iconic single “Money.”

Formed in 2011, Brit Floyd consists of performances supported by an immense, immaculately curated state-of-the-art production, reverently emulating the stunning soundscapes and visuals of Pink Floyd’s iconic catalog. Brit Floyd is a celebration of authenticity, featuring musicians handpicked by Damian Darlington. The 2023 touring band includes Darlington (Guitarist, Vocalist and Musical Director), Ian Cattell (Vocals, Bass), Edo Scordo (Guitars, Vocals), Matt Riddle (Keyboards, Synths, Hammond, Vocals), Arran Ahmun (Drums, Percussions), Ryan Saranich (Saxophone, Percussions, Guitars, Bass, Keyboards), Randy Cooke (Drums and Percussion), Canadian Idol Winner Eva Avila (Lead and Backing Vocals), Genevieve Little (Backing Vocals), Jessie Lee Houllier (Backing Vocals) and Robyn Cage (Backing Vocals). Historically, the shows have featured guest appearances from musicians from Pink Floyd’s studio and road line-ups: bassist/vocalist Guy Pratt joined Brit Floyd onstage at the Echo Arena in Liverpool in 2013 and Pink Floyd saxophonist/guitarist Scott Page has performed with the band on numerous occasions, as have Pink Floyd backing vocalists Roberta Freeman and Durga McBroom.

Today (October 25) alternative pop visionary GIA FORD has released her captivating new single ‘Falling in Love Again’ via Chrysalis Records. Listen here and watch the video here.

Falling in Love Again’ is an unusual but poignant depiction of how grief makes us behave in ways we wouldn’t expect.

“This song is based on a story my friends told me about their dad and his late wife, and how for a while after her death, no one could replace her. He used to dress his new girlfriends in clothes like hers,” GIA explains. “At first it sounds odd, and might make you feel uncomfortable. But really it’s a love song, just told in a different way.”

For GIA FORD, those figures on the fringes of society are by far the most fascinating. Her songs tell the stories of the downtrodden to the downright dangerous. Her haunting previous single ‘Alligator’ (released this past summer) perfectly illustrates this, and through her vivid storytelling, we begin to hear familiar, uncomfortable truths about ourselves.

The UK-based GIA was recently announced as an official artist for SXSW 2024. Meantime, back home GIA was also announced as part of The Great Escape’s FIRST FIFTY, which will see her headline Paper Dress Vintage, London, at their launch on November 15. Tickets are available here.

Stay tuned for updates on GIA’s plans for 2024.
