SINGLE ARTWORK

DD VERNI & THE CADILLAC BAND have today (August 22) released the second single “Two Of A Kind” from their upcoming album BUCKLE UP, which marries rock ‘n roll’s visceral energy and succinct songwriting to suave, swinging throwback arrangements and aesthetics. “Two Of A Kind” notably features the Reverend Horton Heat’s Jim Heath. The song, written by Walden Cassotto and Johnny Mercer, was originally featured on Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer’s 1961 Two of a Kind album. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

“Doing this song with the great Jim Heath was just a a blast!” DD says. “Total pro, he came it and we just hit it off, laughing telling stories etc. It’s funny to have two people from totally different backgrounds—I’m an Italian guy from New Jersey, and he’s a southern guy from Texas—-to share a love for some of the same kind of music just speaks to the power of great songs.”

DD continues, “I first saw Reverend Horton Heat up in Mass, they were doing the show the night before Overkill was playing the NEMHF and I was blown away. Just a great band and a great guitar player. We had never met, I called him completely out of the blue and said I would love you to do this song with you, and he graciously said let’s do to. I came to find out he was a big Johnny Mercer fan and I am a big Bobby Darin fan so it just seemed a great match. We actually met the first time at the video shoot itself!…up until then it had been phone calls and texts.”

“I’m so glad DD asked me to do this duet of ‘Two of a Kind’” Jim Heath says. “The original version by Bobby Darin and Johnny Mercer really speaks to me. When I listened back to my part, singing the Johnny Mercer part, I realized that I kind of sound like Johnny Mercer! I guess that all of those old J. Mercer records my parents played really rubbed off on me—why fight it? I’m thrilled to be on this recording and thrilled to be in the video. It’s an honor to be included with DD and such skilled musicians, recording engineers, and videographers.”

Heath adds, “Working with DD was great. DD Verni and the Cadillac Band have a unique take on swing music, and I think it’s pretty ingenious. The song is cool, and the arrangement is solid with heavy-hitter musicians. Then, when we did the video, during the breaks, I got to talk with DD at length about our careers and discovered that we have a lot in common. Our careers and lives kind of run parallel and there are many shared experiences.”

On BUCKLE UP, out September 19 via DEKO, DD makes big band music more accessible and relatable than ever on the 14-track album. “Two Of A Kind” follows the album’s first track “Lucky 13” (released July 18). Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE. Pre-order the album HERE. [The album’s full track listing is below.]

ALBUM ARTWORK

BUCKLE UP brings the storm-the-stage ethic of Overkill to DD’s lifelong love of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Fats Domino and, more recently, the Brian Setzer Orchestra. BUCKLE UP picks up and goes further than their exciting 2021 debut album Let’s Rattle, on which DD sang and played red hot guitar. BUCKLE UP retains all its predecessor’s verve and vitality while adding more evolved horn arrangements written by Jim McMillen, known for his work on TV’s “Beverly Hills 90210” and “Bridgerton,” and with Grammy-winning artists Christina Aguilera and Ricky Kej.

“When I’m writing and demoing these songs, it’s just a guitar and me,” DD explained. “And they should be able to have that energy with just that, before anything else is added.”

Indeed, DD’s fun-first rocker’s approach and robust songcraft has attracted a who’s-who of musicians to the Cadillac Band, intrigued by its stylistic nuances and go-for-broke ethos. BUCKLE UP features longtime Brian Setzer drummer Bernie Dresel and slap bassist Johnny Hatton; horn players with Paul McCartney’s band and The Eagles; pianist Or Matias (Josh Groban/Broadway music director); guitarist Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra); and backing vocals by acclaimed pop-rock duo Kingston and GreyStarr. Recorded in New Jersey and Los Angeles, BUCKLE UP was produced by DD and mixed by Michael Frondelli (Billy Idol, Pat Benatar etc.)

“So psyched for you to hear round two!” DD says. “I worked with so many great people on the last record I couldn’t wait to do another. BUCKLE UP means just what it says…this record brings together all of the experiences I got writing and recording the first record, as well and the shows we did to support it, and takes it to a new level.

“This is timeless, fun music. And for me, in a world that seems so chaotic every day, it’s a joy to have something that’s just plain fun, simple and energetic. To just leave your troubles behind, grab a drink and your girl and go out to a show like ours and have fun! Hoping to get to your town later in the year with the band!…and bring some of that energy.”

Coming off two red-hot #1 rock tracks—“Holy Water” (feat Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch) and “Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)”—THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT (@tfp_devotion) today (August 22) release to radio the “Dark Thoughts” single from their smash GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY album. Described by frontman Lee Jennings as “a finger snapping anthemic banger,” the mental health-themed song also appears on the newly released four-track DARK THOUGHTS EP along with a version of the song featuring vocals by Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, a new remix of the song, and a live performance of it from the band’s Atlanta, GA hometown of Atlanta alongside the original version.

Listen to the DARK THOUGHTS EP, released via Better Noise Music, HERE and see the track listing below. Two videos were also released today. View “Dark Thoughts (Beyond The Abyss Remix)” HERE and “Dark Thoughts (Live From Suffocate City)” HERE.

“We wanted to put together something special and different that we haven’t done for the Coffin Crew [the band’s devoted following],” explains singer Lee Jennings. “The other cool thing about this EP is that we are including the live version that we recorded at our first-ever town hall meeting in Atlanta. This marked our first sold-out show in our hometown.”

About the song itself, Jennings explains that “‘Dark Thoughts’ is a fun and energetic song meant to highlight our own mental health struggles. I wrote it about being diagnosed with OCD, I’m glad that more people can relate. This song is one of my personal favorites on the album. It’s deeply rooted in feeling trapped in your own head, like you have no one to reach out to who would understand or have an answer. It’s a statement both about the band and our fans. Depression, anxiety, and mental health crisis events are a ubiquitous experience for us, and the people who connect with our art. It can be such a terrifying and daunting task to try to overcome, but we hope that by connecting with others, we can support each other as a community in times when things seem the most bleak.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT—Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Caleb Freihaut (Guitar/Auxiliary), Robert Weston (Bass), and Homer Umbanhowar— (Drums)—recently celebrated the second #1 song from GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase’s Active Rock charts with “Holy Water,” which features guest vocals by Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch. They achieved the first #1 spot last November on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts with their smash single “Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills).”

GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY – FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS: DELUXE EDITION was released June 13 via Better Noise Music, with digital, CD, and vinyl copies available HERE. It contains 24 songs including tracks from the CASSANOVA EP and the FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS EP, as well as “Holy Water” feat. Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch, “Hearse for Two” feat. Lilith Czar and three brand new songs: “Skinny Lies,” “Evergreen,” and “Lost Boy.” The vinyl and CD two-disc deluxe packages feature 21 tracks, one of which is exclusive to the physical formats (“Friends Like These”).

The album that was originally released September 13, 2024 via Better Noise Music consists of 14 tracks of theatrical, dramatic, unapologetic, full-throated flair with guest appearances from Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT is committed to championing well-being within the music industry (and beyond). They’re proud to raise awareness of Music Support, the charity that helps anyone who works in the U.K. music industry experiencing substance use, addiction, and/or mental health challenges. They support all areas of the industry, whether on stage or behind the scenes. Music Support believes in arming people with the tools to prevent them from reaching crisis point, but if they do, they are at the end of the phone or via email, info which can be found on their website. Donations can also be made there.

The campaign for THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT began in August 2022, almost three years ago, with the release of “Voodoo Doll” when they were an opening band in 300-400 person venues (or smaller). Now they’re drawing the biggest crowds at the major festivals, touring all year with bands like Ice Nine Kills, and gearing up for a European tour this fall.

After wrapping up a slew of appearances at summer festivals including Warped Tour and Rock Fest, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s on-going tour schedule isn’t slowing down anytime soon. They’ve been invited to be a part of the “ICE NINE KILLS: HELL OF A SUMMER TOUR” along with Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and Mest, which is currently underway. The Live Nation-produced tour is bringing the bands to arenas and amphitheaters across the country. Tickets are available via Ice Nine Kills’ website. Once that tour wraps, they’ll stay on the road as part of In This Moment’s “Black Mass Tour” with Dayseeker and DED, which kicks off September 18. Tickets are available via In This Moment’s website. In the midst of all those tours, they’ll make more appearances at Rocklahoma on August 31 and at Louder Than Life on November 20, followed by another Warped Tour show on November 15 in Orlando, FL. Later this year, they’ll take off for Europe for a three-week trek with The Rasmus.

ABOUT THE KRUSE BROTHERS

During a time when the popular choice is to chase the double yellow line down the road to country radio, fresh to the table, The Kruse Brothers want to earn their seat at the country music table, but not by chasing the status quo. The Arizona-raised five-piece is a fusion of Country, Americana, and folk-rock stacked on a blues foundation.

Brothers Chandler and Miles, the band’s core, take turns as lead vocalists, creating a dynamic duo with a diverse sound ready for an expansive audience.

The band’s debut single, ‘Good As Gone’, is the anthem track and best sneak peek into the band’s signature sound: “This single is one of our favorite songs on the upcoming EP…” Chandler says, “… It’s a rock-n-roll country song; it’s upbeat, (it’s) loud, (it’s) crazy, I am really excited for everyone to hear it…”

ABOUT KEITH ANDERSON

Singer/Songwriter Keith Anderson’s latest song “I’ll Bring the Music” sums up Anderson to a T. That is one thing that you can always say about this academic athlete from Miami, OK, who has always excelled at anything he has put his mind to, is he WILL bring the Music.

Although he has co-written hits for other artists, most notably “Lost In This Moment”, the No. 1 smash for Big & Rich which garnered him a CMA and ACM Song of the Year nomination, Anderson does not write with other artists in mind. “I think I’ll always write about what I know and feel–and typically with myself in mind. However, I write a lot, and I keep the songs that are really speaking to me when I’m recording, and pitch everything else to other artists”, says Anderson. Anderson also co-wrote the Grammy-nominated, “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In?)” for Garth Brooks and George Jones, “The Bed” for Gretchen Wilson and “Barn Burner” for Jason Michael Carroll. His debut CD, “Three Chord Country and American Rock & Roll”, was certified Gold and garnered two Top 10 hits (accompanied by two No. 1 music videos), “Pickin’ Wildflowers,” and “Every Time I Hear Your Name,” along with two Top 30 hits “XXL” and “Podunk”. This success prompted music trades Billboard and Radio & Records to name him country music’s No. 1 New Male Artist of 2005 and the top new solo country artist of the year.

It wasn’t just his music that was getting attention. Anderson was named one of People Magazine’s “50 Hottest Bachelors”, and Men’s Fitness Magazine’s, “Ultimate Country Star”.

Anderson’s sophomore CD garnered the biggest hit of his career, “I Still Miss You”, which peaked at #2 and another Top 25 hit, “Sunday Morning In America”. Taking the lead with other gold and platinum artists, Anderson decided to take hold of the reigns this time by launching his music his own way and letting the fans help drive his music and passion. “I’ll Bring The Music” has had a huge resonance with the fans.” says Anderson. “As I tour all over the country, that is the song that gets them on their feet and is the song they are still singing as they head out the door. It reminds me of how “Pickin’ Wildflowers moved them”. And now Sirius XM Radio is “Dancin’ To The Beat” as it has been added to The Highway channel 59’s program, “On The Horizon”.

ABOUT COUNTRY REWIND

Get ready to rewind the clock at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country for Country Rewind – a throwback night filled with your favorite 90s and early 2000s country hits with DJ Manda. No cover for the Military, Teachers, Nurses, and First Responders in gratitude for their service. Free dance lessons are at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., and free Mechanical Bull rides all night long. 21+ only.

ABOUT ALEXIS WILKINS

Alexis Wilkins speaks the truth and owns who she is with her unapologetic storytelling, cowboy-like leaning, and definitive pull from the past. She honors country tradition while adding relevance and current commentary. Arkansas-bred and Nashville-based singer/songwriter and commanding artist; Wilkins struck platinum with her debut single release garnering over 1,000,000 streams across key platforms. With this, came accolades and endorsements from CMT, American Songwriter, Today in Nashville, Sounds Like Nashville, and more. She is no stranger to the big stage having shared it with such superstars as Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Sara Evans, and Parmalee, to name a few.

Representing her love of small towns and the roots of country music, Wilkins has been on her Nothing Like a Small Town Tour with dates everywhere from historic venues like The Lincoln Theater in Virginia to the countryside of the east coast. Set to tour this Fall and into Spring on tours to be announced, she’s excited to continue to share her country music with people in the country she loves.

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 Mussel 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 harmony 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.

THE STRAY CATS, the band that put Rockabilly music back on the record charts in the early ’80s, scored several big hits on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to a striking visual 1950’s style brought “up to date” with exaggerated pompadours and colorful tattoos and as well as genuine musical chops that evoked the best players of rockabilly’s original heyday. Formed by guitarist/vocalist Brian Setzer, upright bass player Lee Rocker and drummer Slim Jim Phantom in the Long Island town of Massapequa, NY, in 1979, the trio shared a love for Rockabilly music. After banging around New York for a few months, in the summer of 1980, and seeing a pompadoured kid on the cover of UK magazine NME, they hopped a plane to London where a rockabilly revival movement was just beginning to emerge. Their massive hits and videos include “Runaway Boys,” “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut” “(She’s) Sexy + 17,” and “I Won’t Stand in Your Way.”

NOTHING MORE
RELEASES NEW VIDEO FOR “EXISTENTIAL DREAD”
AND CONTINUES CONVERSATION ABOUT AI AND ART
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

THE TRACK, FROM THEIR ‘CARNAL’ ALBUM, AND VIDEO
FOLLOW THE BAND’S FOUR #1 SINGLES FROM ‘CARNAL’

3x-Grammy-nominated and four-time #1 rock outfit NOTHING MORE (@nothingmoremusic) caused quite a stir about their latest video, “EXISTENTIAL DREAD,” before it was even officially released yesterday (August 18).

For the video, posted at Better Noise Music’s YouTube page HERE, the boundary-pushing band partnered with AI director/editor Jurassic Smoothie. After only a teaser trailer was shared (Friday, August 15), a debate online about the use of AI to create music videos and art was quickly sparked. The next day, singer Jonny Hawkins spoke with RockFeed to personally share his thoughts.

He also commented on the band’s Instagram in response to fans being unhappy with the AI medium. “AI didn’t make a video for us. We hired an artist, I plotted out a vision, theme and visuals. Then that artist used AI to start generating images that he edited together through multiple versions with notes… and then tweaked that into a visual experience for the viewer.” Hawkins adds: “There is a huge difference between *letting* a machine create something and *using* a machine to create something. Nine Inch Nails is a perfect example of a prolific artist who used machines to sculpt their sound. It’s all about how you use the tool that determines art, not which tools you are using.”

The release of “EXISTENTIAL DREAD” comes on the heels of the band earning their fourth #1, from the CARNAL album, on the Billboard “Mainstream Rock Airplay” and Mediabase “Active Rock” charts with “FREEFALL” (feat. Chris Daughtry).” A new version of the bracing “FREEFALL,” featuring 6x Platinum-certified rock artist Chris Daughtry, was released March 28 on all digital outlets. The “FREEFALL” video movingly tells the story about a firefighter who is struggling with his mental health and unexpectedly finds a new life-direction after making a chance connection with a homeless dog. Watch it on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube page HERE, and watch the new performance video cut of “FREEFALL” HERE.

NOTHING MORE—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—blend a full-on assault with soaring melodies and unique soundscapes in songs that unflinchingly embrace raw emotion. CARNAL—originally released June 28, 2024–has to date amassed 133 million streams. The album received praise for being “one of the band’s most eclectic releases to date” (Blabbermouth) and having 15 “energized rock anthems that capture the band’s infectious live prowess” (Knotfest).

The deluxe edition of CARNAL was released across all digital outlets on March 28 and is also available on CD and vinyl. Five other bonus tracks on CARNAL (DELUXE) include a live version of the “ANGEL SONG” recorded from the band’s set at Aftershock Festival 2024 where NOTHING MORE was joined onstage by guest vocalist David Draiman of Disturbed; two remixed songs from Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria) and Justin “JD” Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White); plus a new song that was released February 7, “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.” A new version of the bracing “FREEFALL,” featuring 6x Platinum-certified rock artist Chris Daughtry, was released March 28 on all digital outlets. The “FREEFALL” video movingly tells the story about a firefighter who is struggling with his mental health and unexpectedly finds a new life-direction after making a chance connection with a homeless dog. Watch it on Better Noise Music’s official YouTube page.

THE ALBUM IS THE FIRST FULL FEATURE LENGTH ALBUM IN ALMOST A DECADE WITH A TOUR TO FOLLOW IN FALL OF 2025

[Los Angeles, CA – August 8, 2025] — Alt rock favorites Yellowcard is releasing their fourth single today, “Bedroom Posters” off of their highly anticipated album Better Days while their lead single and title track “Better Days” continues to top the charts reaching number 4 in Alt rock this week. Better Days is the band’s first full feature length album in almost a decade and will be available on October 10^th. This highly anticipated album is produced as well as executive produced by Travis Barker with Barker playing drums on every song. Currently “Better Days” and “honestly I” and “Take What you Want” have accumulated over 6.4 million global streams since the release.

The single “Bedroom Posters” is for anyone who holds memories to their hometown near and dear. Lead vocalist Ryan Key says “ Have you ever come back to visit your hometown and felt crushed by all the memories that led up to the day you left? Have you ever felt like settling down somewhere meant giving up your dream? If so “Bedroom Posters” is for you.

This new album brings forth the best of the guys with a renewed passion for the music they make. The band agreed that making a new album was pointless unless it was the best of their career. They refused to rush the process and for the first time gave themselves permission to ask for help. Ryan Mendez invited his long time friend Nick Long into the writing sessions and it was through Long that Barker became part of the project, coming on board to play drums and produce the whole album.

“I started the record as one version of myself and came out the other side

changed,” says front man Ryan Key who credits Barker with a significant impact on his personal and creative studio breakthroughs. “I went in knowing I needed help. I came out of it writing songs like I was 19 again.”

Once ubiquitous on MTV and the Billboard Hot 100, the Vans Warped Tour veterans, whose first two albums produced double-platinum and gold title tracks, sound fully recharged and revitalized in 2025 with a co headlining tour, The Maxium Fun Tour with A Day to Remember which begins September 5^th through November 22^nd with stops on both the Warped Tour and When We Were Young Festival. A complete tour schedule below.

Formed in Jacksonville FL in 1997, Yellowcard became one of the most influential bands in the 2000’s alternative rock scene. Known for blending high energy pop punk with a signature violin twist, their 2003 breakthrough Ocean Avenue is certified Platinum with the title track now certified 2 times platinum. With over 4 million albums sold worldwide and over 1 billion streams, the band is poised for continued success on this new endeavor. After disbanding in 2017, Yellowcard reunited in 2022 entering into a new creative era and a year packed with a global tour to support it.

BETTER DAYS TRACK LIST

1. Better Days
2. Take What You Want
3. Love Letters Lost (feat. Matt Skiba of Alkaline Trio)
4. honestly i
5. You Broke Me Too (feat. Avril Lavigne)

About Yellowcard

Yellowcard meant it when they said goodbye. The lights dimmed on one of the most beloved pop-punk and alt-rock bands of the 2000s with intention and authenticity. Wrapping things up with a farewell tour, Yellowcard exited the “right” way, with grace, appreciation, and finality.

But the story wasn’t complete. Legacy cracked the door. Healing blew it wide open. Riding a resurgence that saw the global Ocean Avenue 20^th anniversary tour featured in Forbes and a reconciliation that put all four members at peace with their legacy and each other, Yellowcard just made the most ambitious and emotionally resonant record of their career. Better Days, the band’s first album in nearly a decade, was produced by blink-182’s Travis Barker, who also played drums on every track.

Their first release with powerhouse label Better Noise Music, Better Days is Yellowcard’s testimony that healing is a process, growth is nonlinear, and sometimes the best chapter opens after the supposed ending. This isn’t just a return. It’s a reckoning. And this time, Yellowcard is ready.

Yellowcard is:

William Ryan Key – Vocals/Guitar
Sean Mackin – Violin
Ryan Mendez – Guitar
Josh Portman – Bass

Wish you the worst
Still hope you crash crash crash and you burn
Wish you the worst
Wish you the worst
Long for the day you are gone from this earth
–“Wish You The Worst”

Based out of Los Angeles and originally hailing from Sweden, electronic metal group SOLENCE (@solenceofficial) mince no words on their volcanic new single “Wish You The Worst.” Out today (August 15) via Better Noise Music, the song is an unapologetic and empowering anthem to be played and sung out loud when “people in your life cut you deep,” says frontman Markus Videsäter. “Some people just want to destroy everything around them…this song is for them.” Sonically, SOLENCE deploy big pop hooks and electro savvy with the heavy yet melodic intensity of trailblazing Swedish metal into a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting.

“Wish You The Worst” marks the third single from the band’s upcoming fifth album ANGELS CALLING, out October 3 via Better Noise Music. “I felt there was one more spot on the album for a real ‘f**k you anthem,’” Markus adds, “and in a session with our friend Jimmy we wrote ‘Wish You The Worst!’” Listen to the track here” HERE and watch the video HERE. Pre-orders for ANGELS CALLING are available HERE.

Two singles were previously released to get fans ready for ANGELS CALLING. “Where Were You..?” came first on May 13. Stream it HERE and watch the lyric video HERE (over 96k views). “Dead_Alive” followed June 27. Listen to it HERE and view the lyric video HERE (over 51k views).

SOLENCE’s lineup consists of frontman Markus Videsäter alongside guitarist David Strääf, keyboardist Johan Swärd, and drummer David “Viking” Vikingsson. They focus all its energy on uplifting anyone in a dark state of mind to a brighter place. “SOLENCE is all about having a good time,” Videsäter says. “Our message to our existing fans and potential new ones is that we want to bring the fun back into rock n’ roll.”

ANGELS CALLING is the follow-up to their EP BLUE MONDAY (Better Noise Music), released this past January with three new songs: “F**k The Bad Vibes,” “A Banger A Day Keeps The Doctor Away,” and “Who You Gonna Call? (Solence),” which Houston Chronicle highlighted in their “Top 50 Best Underground Music Videos of 2024” list. It also includes two remixed versions of their hit track “Good F**king Music” by Swedish-based producer MVRE and L.A.-based producer kodeblooded (Asking Alexandria, Charlotte Sands). BLUE MONDAY can be downloaded and streamed HERE.

SOLENCE returns on ANGELS CALLING with fresh visuals, a new look, and a retrofitted sound that combines the best of their past with a look into the future for both the group and the genre. “For some reason, I’ve always felt like my time on earth is limited, as if I might die young,” Videsäter explains. “Our music is about making the most of life, relationships, and passion before heaven calls us home.”

With songs like “Monsters in My Head,” “MESS,” “All of the Pain Must Go,” and the title track, the band forms a diverse collection of their most highly charged material yet. “We are now the hype squad and the party train,” smiles guitarist David Strääf.

A SOLENCE performance is a participatory sport, with audiences encouraged to sing and bounce along, as evidenced on the many stages they’ve shared worldwide on past tours opening for bands including Five Finger Death Punch, Ice Nine Kills, Electric Callboy, We Came As Romans, and The HU, 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).

Lauded as one of Pandora’s “Rising Rock Artists To Watch In 2023,” SOLENCE have to date garnered over 370 million cumulative streams, over 940k monthly Spotify listeners, and over 96 million video views since their formation in 2012. The band started by releasing heavy renditions of well-known pop hits from the likes of Imagine Dragons, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears, and Queen before breaking out with their 2019 debut album BROTHERS. It was quickly followed by their sophomore album, DIRECTION, which saw them achieve their first Active Rock radio charting with “Animal In Me” which became SiriusXM Octane’s most-played track in 2020. Octane’s Sr. Director, Music Programming Vincent Usuriello described SOLENCE’s sound as “a dynamic fusion of rock, metal, and pop elements, with powerful vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and infectious melodies, creating an immersive sonic experience.” In 2021, SOLENCE released their third album, DEAFENING, which showed their range of inspirations from music to anime, gaming, sci-fi, and even philosophy and soon followed with their fourth album HOPE IS A CULT in 2023. Amidst writing new material for SOLENCE, Videsäter and Strääf have lent their songwriting skills to pop acts including Jason Derulo and Bebe Rexha.

In 2025, SOLENCE continues to spread its life-affirming message. “‘Until I hear the ‘Angels Calling’ reminds us that life is way too short to worry about doubt or making mistakes,” Markus points out. “We never know when our time is up, so let’s make the most of it while we can!”

SOLENCE will hit the road later this year for a European tour opening for Nothing More, which launches November 7 in Finland, along with Catch Your Breath and Ankor. General tickets are available now on their official website.

Here’s the track listing for ANGELS CALLING:

1. Angels Calling
