ABOUT RYAN WATERS

For those that know country newcomer Ryan Waters, his story is defined by a quintessential country upbringing, an unequivocal work ethic, and a genuine relatability. Born and raised in the small town of Luverne, Alabama, Waters had a typical southern childhood. “Luverne’s population is only 2,500 people. It’s one of those towns where everyone knows everything about everyone, and you always do the right thing — because everyone will know if you do the wrong thing.” Early in high school, though no one in his immediate family had any musical inclination aside from his grandmother, who passed when he was young, Waters picked up a guitar for the first time — and that’s where his propensity for hard work kicked in. “My parents put me in lessons, but I quit those quickly. Instead, I’d watch YouTube videos and learn from those. I remember I was dead set on learning ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ by Guns and Roses and would play and play until I had it nailed down.” Waters then started singing to the tunes he was playing. “My voice, in the beginning, was terrible. Your voice is an instrument, and I’d never used mine. I also couldn’t quite get it to line up with the chords I was strumming… So, I just worked at it until I could.” Around that time, Waters began dabbling in songwriting, and as his senior year of college approached — unsure of his direction in life — he dropped out and headed north to Music City.

Sure, the move would put him on the map, Waters learned quickly why Nashville’s been coined the “ten-year town.” “I traveled back and forth a good bit between Troy and Nashville, ultimately finished my degree, and continued writing songs all along. I wasn’t sure if they were good, bad, whatever… I just wrote. I would teach during the week and play bars on the weekends. It was a grind.” One day, at the advice of his sister, Waters tried his hand at TikTok, and the rest is history. “When my sister first brought up TikTok, I said ‘there’s no way I’m going to film a video of myself and post it to social media.’ But one day, I’d just written a song with my producer called ‘Chevrolet You Down,’ and I don’t know what came over me, but I said ‘screw it’ — I got home, propped my phone on the tailgate of my truck, and lip-synched to my song. I posted the video and captioned it ‘should I drop this or nah.’” The reaction to the post was beyond anything Waters could have imagined: the next morning, the video had over 1 million views, and “Chevrolet You Down” itself (which Waters quickly released following his viral success) saw over 6,500 pre-saves, over 9 million streams on Spotify, and landed at #3 on the coveted iTunes chart — behind two Morgan Wallen tunes. “That was the first time I caught myself thinking, ‘man — this could really be a career for me.’”

The momentum put Waters back in Nashville — this time for good — and he immersed himself in his craft. He’s had a string of streaming successes, including 2021’s “Tomorrow’s Not Tonight,” which has over 10 million Spotify streams, and his cover of “Chasing Cars” (2023) — which has over 7 million streams. Drawing sonic and lyrical inspiration from artists like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, and Kameron Marlowe, and his experiences living a small-town life, Waters is primed to be a major influence in the world of country music — a hard-earned feat. “There are a lot of people that have been an overnight viral sensation but have never been on a stage. I’m thankful for all the 3–4 hour shows I have under my belt and all the prep I’ve done. I know as this takes off, I won’t be scared of the moment. I’ll enjoy it.”

ABOUT BIKINI BULL RIDING LADIES’ NIGHT

On the second Wednesday of every month, Bikini Bull Riding Ladies Night features $3 drinks for ladies. All bull riding participants receive a free bikini from Stoney’s North Forty, and ladies can compete for $500 in cash prizes.

ABOUT HAYDEN COFFMAN

Singer/Songwriter Hayden Coffman has quickly emerged as one of country music’s most compelling independent success stories. With a soulful voice, smooth delivery, and emotionally honest songwriting, Coffman connects with fans through songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable. Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, his sound is rooted in country tradition while embracing a modern edge that reflects today’s listeners.

Driven by relentless work ethic and creative passion, Coffman has built a powerful fanbase through a steady stream of releases and authentic storytelling. His breakout single “Better Off” recently earned Gold certification, marking a major milestone in his career. To date, Hayden has amassed over 283 million all-time streams, a testament to his growing impact and resonance with audiences worldwide.

Along the way, Coffman has been featured as the face of Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Country” and “Next From Nashville” playlists, alongside support from Amazon’s “Breakthrough Country” and TIDAL’s “Country Rising.” Additionally, he has been recognized as one of the fastest-growing unsigned country artists in the U.S., landing in the Top 3 on Spotify and Top 5 on YouTube growth rankings. As an independent artist, he has also earned multiple Top 10 iTunes chart debuts, further solidifying his momentum.

As his artistry continues to evolve, Hayden Coffman stands at the forefront of a new generation of country artists — honoring the genre’s roots while confidently pushing it forward.

MEGADETH Release Final Single “Puppet Parade” From Their Self-Titled Final Studio Album Out This Friday

DATE: JANUARY 21 ,2025

FM: MARCEE RONDAN/MITCH SCHNEIDER

MEGADETH
RELEASE FINAL SINGLE
“PUPPET PARADE”
FROM THEIR
SELF-TITLED FINAL STUDIO ALBUM
OUT THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 23

LISTEN TO THE TRACK HERE
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE

With the release of MEGADETH’s final studio album out this week (January 23), the metal titans have shared the final single “Puppet Parade” from the much-anticipated album released via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label. Listen to the track HERE.

“‘Puppet Parade’ is about somebody’s mundane life and how they go through life with everyday being the same as the day before,” MUSTAINE says. “It is about a person who has a dead-end job, a dead-end relationship, a dead-end life. Many of us are going through this monotony, even right now. I wanted to share ‘Puppet Parade’ to try and illustrate how we often show people what we want them to see, instead of how we really feel.”

Up next for MEGADETH, they’ll kick off their farewell tour in North America with a cross-country headlining tour of Canada launching February 15 in Victoria, BC and include stops in Calgary, Winnipeg, and Ottawa before wrapping March 6 in Quebec City, QC.

Leading up to the new album, MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and Acoustic Guitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—have released three tracks: “Let There Be Shred!” (watch the video HERE), “I Don’t Care” out (watch the video HERE); and “Tipping Point,” the album’s first single (watch the video HERE). MEGADETH have also announced a very special bonus track from the album: a reimagined version of “Ride The Lightning,” which MUSTAINE co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group’s 1984 album.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, MUSTAINE revealed in a social post directly shared with his worldwide fanbase and Cyber Army that the forthcoming album will mark the final studio album from MEGADETH, who’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide and received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations). He shared the announcement of the album and tour via his alter ego Vic Rattlehead.

About Megadeth

MEGADETH are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would’ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold 50 million records worldwide, received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched seven Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, and enthralled millions of diehard fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (cited at #8 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which captured #2 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Dystopia notched a Top 3 debut and earned a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” with its title track. They only upped the ferocity with The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! in 2022. It saw them return to #3, receive a “Best Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nomination for “We’ll Be Back,” and incite rave reviews. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere—whether it be Post Malone proudly sporting a tattoo of “So Far, So Good… So What!,” Homer Simpson’s iPod displaying their moniker during an episode, or Showtime’s smash hit series Billions and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey utilizing MEGADETH in plot points. The band have delivered simultaneously relevant and timeless records in five decades now, setting the pace for the thrash renaissance of the eighties, tearing through the MTV years of the nineties with swagger and style, maintaining their stride in the post-Y2K 2000s, elevating to canonical heights in the social media and streaming era of the 2010s, and unassumingly harnessing the uncertainty and unease of the Post-Pandemic world into their boldest, biggest, and best work yet.

Along the way, MEGADETH extended their influence even further. During 2016, the band entered the spirits world with their very first signature beer À Tout Le Monde followed by Saison 13 in 2019. The brand asserted itself as a player in the beverage space and impressively moved over 15 million pints. Joining forces with Keystone in 2025, they ignite the next phase of Megadeth Beer on the biggest global platform yet.

Beyond his role as a music icon, Dave founded the visionary wine brand HOUSE OF MUSTAINE which uniquely blends music, culture, and fine winemaking. The brand launched with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon which was inspired by Dave Mustaine’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony.

This is a big moment for SABATON (@sabatonofficial), the #1 Global Power Metal Band and one of Sweden’s most successful bands. They’ve charged into the Top 10 on the Billboard “Mainstream Rock Airplay” chart this week with the updated version of “Crossing the Rubicon” featuring NOTHING MORE (released October 17, 2025 via Better Noise Music), marking their first-ever appearance on the chart. Watch the lyric video for “Crossing The Rubicon” (featuring NOTHING MORE) HERE and stream/download the track HERE.

This news comes as SABATON gear up for their 32-date North American headline tour kicking off February 9 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Having launched their massive worldwide tour this past October in Istanbul, Turkey, SABATON are pumped to bring their explosive stage presence and epic concert experience to major stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston before wrapping April 20 in Vancouver, BC. Tickets and VIP packages are available now at LiveNation.com and on SABATON’s official website, with VIP packages available HERE.

“This was an unexpected surprise and a very welcome one,” says SABATON bassist Pär Sundström. “Sabaton never takes any support for granted, so this means a lot to us! To have this news just before we are heading over to start our North American tour makes us extra excited to come and play for our American fans!”

“This is a huge milestone for us,” continues Joakim Brodén. “Reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard ‘Mainstream Rock Airplay’ chart for the first time is something we’re very proud of, especially in the U.S.! Seeing ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ connect with rock radio and fans the way it has is an amazing feeling. We couldn’t have done this without the support of our record label, Better Noise Music, our listeners, radio stations, and of course our labelmates, NOTHING MORE!”

SABATON’s Top Ten success has reinforced Better Noise Music’s position as “The Artist Development Company” and built on the label’s other radio/chart successes with NOTHING MORE, whose current album Carnal achieved four #1 rock hits, and THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT, who this week have landed their third #1 rock hit with “Dark Thoughts.”

Better Noise Music President/COO Steve Kline says: “Sabaton’s breakthrough into the Top 10 is a huge milestone, that reflects the band’s broad appeal. This achievement also speaks to the strength of our artist development efforts. Congratulations to Jackie Kajzer for leading the charge on radio and helping Sabaton reach this exciting new level.”

Meanwhile, the band and Better Noise Films has announced the launch of “You’re History,” a new episodic horror YouTube miniseries that merges heavy music, horror, and historical stories. Released in connection with their 11^th studio album LEGENDS (October 17, 2025, via Better Noise Music) and marking the band’s label debut, the series was created and directed by actor, director and Chief Creative Officer Michael Lombardi (The Retaliators, Rescue Me, The Deuce) and written by The Geare Brothers.

The official trailer premiered exclusively via Bloody Disgusting and can be viewed HERE. The pilot episode is now available to stream HERE, which features “Crossing the Rubicon” reimagined through a visceral slasher narrative inspired by Julius Ceasar. It stars horror icon Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator, Frighteners) and Sirius XM personality Jose Mangin as one of its lead characters. Additional episodes of “You’re History” will air in 2026 and continue to combine various rock and metal songs and artists, horror icons, and infamous historical figures.

“‘Crossing the Rubicon’ and the ‘You’re History’ series was born from the creative DNA we live by at Better Noise Music,” says Lombardi. “As Chief Creative Officer, I’ve always believed we’re not just a record label—we’re a storytelling company that thinks outside the box. We don’t operate like an assembly line; we go deep with our artists, their lyrics, and the worlds they create, and that collaborative energy is what sparked this series.”

“Sabaton are a fascinating band because they bring world history to life. We wanted to combine our love of rock, horror, and storytelling to show how music like theirs can make history feel epic and alive,” Lombardi adds. “YouTube has now become the frontline of modern culture. Long-form storytelling, shorts, and everything in between now live side by side, and that hybrid format is changing how fans discover music, artists, and narratives. With ‘You’re History,’ I’m leaning all the way into that shift—building a world that can exist as a bingeable miniseries, as trailer moments, as shorts, and as music-driven content that lives and breathes on the platform. This is the kind of boundary-pushing, multimedia storytelling that Better Noise was built to do—and ‘Crossing the Rubicon’ is just the beginning. Each episode of ‘You’re History’ will collide heavy music, major rock stars, horror icons, and infamous historical figures into a wild, dark ride.”

“When Michael presented me the idea by saying it’s Sabaton colliding with history and horror I was in right away,” says Jose Mangin. “I’m proud to be involved with this and had so much fun playing Coach Vasquez in this mini horror movie. I can’t believe Jeffrey Combs in this too?! Whenever I can get bloody and physical, I’m all about it. Working with Michael was awesome, and I look forward to doing more with him and horror in the future!”

Better Noise Music has a busy 2026 ahead of them, with new releases coming soon from From Ashes To New, The HU, Dirty Heads, Five Finger Death Punch, and more. Stay tuned for exciting news coming soon.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT (@tfp_devotion) were hailed by Pandora as one of their “Artists to Watch 2025: The Pandora Ten,” which shined a light on a group of ten emerging artists across all genres that the platform believed would break big. The emo-rooted Atlanta band more than lived up to that expectation by last year achieving two #1 Active Rock singles on the Billboard and Mediabase charts: “Holy Water” (featuring Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch) and “Suffocate City” (featuring Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills).

And now they’ve just scored their third #1 single from GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, with “Dark Thoughts” reaching the top position on the Billboard “Mainstream Rock Tracks” chart this week. This distinction that makes them one of “only four acts to have sent their first three charted songs to the top spot,” according to Billboard. And “Dark Thoughts” didn’t stop there, it’s now #1 at Mediabase (Active Rock).

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT has jumped headlong into 2026 with today’s release of their first-ever live album, LIVE FROM SUFFOCATE CITY via Better Noise Music, available to stream/download and purchase as a CD/Blu-ray combo and on vinyl in their signature green and purple HERE. To coincide with the album, the band is bringing the track “Stay Weird” to cinematic life with today’s video release HERE.

“‘Stay Weird’ has always been our love letter to the beautifully strange souls who’ve supported this band from day one,” declares frontman Lee Jennings. “Hearing The Coffin Crew scream it back at us in Atlanta during our ‘Suffocate City Town Hall Meeting’ was unreal. That night captured everything we stand for—individuality, belonging, and the freedom to be exactly who you are. I’m beyond excited that this live album lets the world feel that energy.”

“Stay Weird” is the follow-up to the live video of their breakout single, “Voodoo Doll,” released October 31. Listen to it HERE and view the video HERE.

On LIVE FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, fans are invited to step inside the chaos and catharsis of THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s first-ever “Suffocate City Town Hall Meeting,” captured live from their sold-out hometown show at The Masquerade in Atlanta, GA in 2025. The exclusive Blu-ray documents the band’s legendary performance in front of a packed house of diehard fans. It’s a thrilling night of raw emotion, high-energy theatrics, and fan-favorite anthems.

Fans were already treated to an early glimpse of the live album with the August 22 release of the four-track DARK THOUGHTS EP. In addition to the live track, three other versions of “Dark Thoughts” are featured: the original version, a version featuring vocals by Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and a new remix of the song. The EP can be streamed and downloaded HERE, along with two videos: “Dark Thoughts (Beyond The Abyss Remix)” HERE and “Dark Thoughts (Live From Suffocate City)” HERE (which has over 34k views).

The GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY album was originally released September 13, 2024. It 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 deluxe edition, 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 CASANOVA 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 campaign for GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY began in August 2022 with the release of “Voodoo Doll” when they were an opening band in 300-400 person venues (or smaller). Throughout 2025 they performed 176 shows and drew the biggest crowds at major festivals including Warped Tour and Louder Than Life, touring all year with bands like Ice Nine Kills, The Used, Underoath, In This Moment, and they performed their first-ever European tour with The Rasmus.

2026 stands to be another big touring year for THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT following last year’s tours with Ice Nine Kills and In This Moment, and their first-ever tour of Europe with The Rasmus. They just performed two hometown “Suffocate City Town Hall Meeting” shows in Atlanta, GA on January 16 and 17 and will head out on the “Alienation” tour with Three Days Grace along with I Prevail starting February 21 in Fort Wayne, IN. Tickets for all shows are available on the band’s official website.

THE BONES Release New Single “My Kind Of Crazy” Featuring Guest Guitarist Phil X of Bon Jovi

DATE: JANUARY 20, 2026

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER / ANDREA FAULK

THE BONES
RELEASE NEW SINGLE
“MY KIND OF CRAZY”
FEATURING GUEST GUITARIST PHIL X OF BON JOVI

LISTEN TO THE TRACK HERE

“My Kind of Crazy (Feat. Phil X)” Single Artwork

Las Vegas-based rock & roll band THE BONES, fronted by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Patrick Vitagliano, have released their latest single “My Kind of Crazy (Feat. Phil X).” With lyrics like “She’s the right kind of crazy, 2 parts velvet, 1 barbed wire/Ride or die kind of crazy, and she’ll be your alibi,” it’s a powerful track about romantic obsession that spotlights Vitagliano’s impassioned vocals and the stratospheric lead guitar work of guest guitarist Phil X of Bon Jovi. Listen to “My Kind of Crazy (Feat. Phil X)” HERE and watch the lyric video HERE.

“This one is 100% about my wife Christina,” says Vitagliano, who wrote the music and lyrics and co-produced the track with Vinnie Castaldo at The Tone Factory “Most of the fiction I write is at least somewhat rooted or inspired by some degree of truth, and she’s loosely been the muse that many of my fictional tales are based on. But this one’s ALL her. I fucking love that woman, AND her crazy.”

The Bones are primarily known for their hard rock/punk blend, while “My Kind of Crazy” has more of a big rock ballad feel. Vitagliano explains, “I always let the song dictate its own direction. If you listen, the song will always tell you where it wants to go, and this one was really leaning in sort of a Bon-Jovi-esque direction. Phil is a friend, so I asked him to guest on it, as that style is directly in his wheelhouse.”

THE BONES—singer/guitarist Patrick Vitagliano (Nuclear Theory/Nuclear Assault spinoff with John Connelly), guitarist Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint/Odin), bassist Sean Koos (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts), and drummer Daniel Margasa (Pat Travers/Rock Godz Hall of Fame)—have four full-length original albums under their belt including Circle in 2024. A new album may emerge in 2026 “I think all writers struggle with varying degrees of self-doubt, me especially,” explains Vitagliano. “Every time I pour myself into an album, I always come out of it thinking…well, I’ll never be able to do that again. So crippled with that very real mental hinderance, I always wait until I have three viable singles under my belt, before trying to tackle an album. That in my mind, is the 30% mark, where 10 songs don’t seem quite as daunting.”

What might the album sound like? “The cohesion and ‘Bones’ sound come from us, the players. So regardless of whether we’re doing a pop song, a punk song, a rock song, or a fucking sea shanty…it’s still gonna sound like The Bones.”

Experience A Lightness of Being With SOUNDING ARROW’s Newly Released “Zero Gravity” Single/Video

“ZERO GRAVITY” SINGLE/VIDEO FROM THEIR
UPCOMING ALBUM ‘SKYMAN’

“Zero Gravity” Single Cover Art (download)

With the weight of the world becoming increasingly heavier, wouldn’t everyone love to experience “zero gravity”? That’s the idea behind the “Zero Gravity” by SOUNDING ARROW—the indie solo project of veteran recording artist and touring musician Scott Kinnebrew (Truth and Salvage Co). “Zero Gravity” marks the latest single/video from the singer, songwriter and guitarist’s second album, SKYMAN, out April 10 on Blackbird Record Label/Indie AM Gold.

The video was directed by Doug Frerichs and filmed around various Southern California locations including the San Fernando Valley, 6^thand Broadway in DTLA, Frogtown, and Calabasas. . It ends with scenes of Kinnebrew up in space floating above civilization below. Listen to the track HERE and watch the video HERE. The song will be on SOUNDING ARROW’s set list when they perform various dates starting January 28 (see the date below).

The SKYMAN album was co-produced with Kinnebrew by Gary Jules (“Mad World” from the Donnie Darko soundtrack) and mixed by Bill Reynolds (Band of Horses, The Avett Brothers’ Emotionalism). It weaves a vivid sonic landscape rich with the textures of rock, folk, country, blues, British invasion, R&B, and pop. It’s a brew that resists classification, as it lands somewhere between tradition and invention—what Kinnebrew thinks of as “sonic impressionism.”

SKYMAN follows SOUNDING ARROW 2017 debut album LOVING IS BREATHING and was rolled out this past September with the warm and radiant title track as the first single. Watch the uplifting, colorful “Skyman” video—directed by Doug Frerichs and filmed in Kinnebrew’s adopted hometown of Asheville, North Carolina—HERE and read the press release HERE. The song will be on the setlist when SOUNDING ARROW open for Gary Jules and Lissie at tour dates starting January 28.

Q&A With SOUNDING ARROW
About “Zero Gravity”

What inspired you to write the song?

Well I must confess that I’ve had this song in the quiver for a while now, for 10 years actually. It was towards the end of 2015 when NASA announced that they were holding auditions for a space team on an expedition to Mars. The headlines kind of floored me as I was used to science-fiction stories like this but not the real deal! Of course I started thinking about what type of person it would take to sign up to leave Earth forever, what it would mean to leave Earth forever, and quickly came up with a narrative for a song.

The song is about a townie, a regular old Joe, that was selected (“I got cast in a brand-new series”) to be a spaceman on a reality TV show. He speaks of how he will deeply miss Earth, but he was chosen to be a spaceman and a spaceman he must be. I cheapened the auditions to be for a TV show instead of NASA.

I had recently just gotten off a 7-year tour with my band Truth & Salvage, and I was deep within the trenches of Band PTSD. I couldn’t listen to any popular music without blowing my top. Instead, I listened to the local classical radio station, that and NPR, almost exclusively. (It was Kendrik Lamar who eventually broke this musical depression.) I don’t know what classical song I “ripped” the chords from, but indeed the verse sounds very classical. And it’s the origin of “Zero Gravity.”

How did you visualize the video and what did you want it to convey?

I always wanted to make a video for the song, and in my grand imagination I imagined it having all the bells and whistles. Like having a real spaceship set, and special effects like floating in zero gravity. You know, space stuff.

I wanted the video to convey the earnestness and commitment this guy had to leaving Earth forever. I wanted the viewer to feel the take off, and the instant separation from home, and the peace and total isolation as a result. I also wanted it to be ridiculous.

My good friend and the director of the video, (and camera op, and editor) Doug Frerichs and I wracked our brains for how to get the feel of blast off, and it was he who came up with the idea of paying homage to the ’84 cult classic “Repo Man,” and to have our hero (me!) blast off in a glowing green sedan. And since “Repo Man” and the music from “Repo Man” is in the top 5 of biggest influences in my life, I instantly was totally down. Having worked in the film industry, and having dressed space sets before, I knew just the place to rent a convincing spacesuit in LA. Plane tickets were cheap. It made sense to fly out to LA, see some old friends (I moved away in 2020), and shoot the video.

It was pretty hysterical walking around Los Angeles in a spacesuit. Like people really thought I was a spaceman. You would think that every Angeleno would know that if they a saw a guy walking around in a space suit, it was for a film or some gimmick, but people were pretty shocked.

We were up in the hills of Calabasas and these teenagers walked up smelling like weed and one asked “Man! Are you like a real astronaut?” Me, thinking he must know I’m not, joked back “Yeah Kid.” He responded “Dude, my mom works at Caltech! She is going to flip, what’s your name?”

“Buzz.”

“Cooooool! Where are you going?”

“This is my last day on Earth and I shall never return again.”

“Man that is soooo coool, So nice to meet you.”

I wanted to be like “kid… your mom is going to be disappointed.”

The song is a new feature version of the “Bedroom Posters” track found on their 2025 album, which also includes the band’s first alternative radio #1 hit with the title track, “Better Days.”

“The new single ‘Bedroom Posters’ is for anyone who holds memories of 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.” Key goes on to share, “We all felt like ‘Bedroom Posters’ was a really special song when we were making the record. The power behind Joel’s vocals take it to an even more impactful place that can truly take you back to the bedroom where you fell in love with your favorite band for the first time.”

“GC and Yellowcard finally have a song together and it feels so right,” Good Charlotte lead vocalist Joel Madden says. “I love this band and this song and I’m so happy we got the GCXYC collab. And now we are going on tour! This is our love language, and I hope everyone that listens feels the love that both our bands have for each other, our fans, and for the music. I can’t wait for tour!”

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
