Traditional Nordic folk outfit WARDRUNA will further celebrate the worldwide success of their fifth full-length album KVITRAVN–released January 22 via BY NORSE MUSIC and SONY MUSIC/COLUMBIA RECORDS—by making video subtitles available in English, Spanish and Norwegian, for the first-time in the band’s 18-year history, for its three music video singles, one lyric video and the “Helvegen Live” video.

WARDRUNA’s official YouTube channel launched in 2008 and has since grown to nearly half a million subscribers. Fans will now be able to dive into the lyrical world of WARDRUNA further allowing them insight into the Nordic cultural and esoteric traditions and wisdom exemplified throughout their music.

“We are pleased to let you know that we have now added English and Spanish subtitles to our YouTube videos for ‘Grá,’ ‘Kvitravn,’ ‘Lyfjaberg,’ ‘Skugge’ and the ‘Helvegen Live’ performance with Aurora,” revealed WARDRUNA founder and composer EINAR SELVIK. “Even though music often moves freely across barriers of language, knowing the meaning behind our lyrics can surely add another dimension to it, so we hope you will appreciate this small bridge we provided. Special thanks to Rebeca Franco Valle for helping with the Spanish translations.”

Watch along with subtitles to the below video clips:

Wardruna – Kvitravn (White Raven) – Official music video
Wardruna – Skugge (Shadow), Official Lyric video
Wardruna – Lyfjaberg (Healing-mountain) Official music video

WARDRUNA have arranged a special virtual record release show from Oslo, NO to take place on Friday, March 26 at 12:00 P.M. PT / 3:00 P.M. ET allowing audiences to experience the group’s one-of-a-kind and truly extraordinary performance which transcends borders, time, languages and musical genres. Tickets are on sale now along with exclusive merch add-ons at www.wardrunashop.com.

KVITRAVN—translated to “White Raven”—debuted across several worldwide Top 10 charts including landing at #1 Top New Artist Album, #3 Americana/Folk, #4 Digital Albums and #9 on Billboard’s Top Album charts in the U.S. alone. The album features a broad selection of both traditional and historical instruments and guest appearances by a small group of prominent traditional singers, spearheaded by Kirsten Bråten Berg (one of the most important custodians of Norwegian traditional song). Throughout its eleven songs, KVITRAVN illuminates Northern sorcery, spirit-animals, shadows, nature and animism, the wisdom and meanings of certain myths, various Norse spiritual concepts, and the relation between sage and songs.

KVITRAVN is available now on various formats and bundles: https://wardruna.lnk.to/Kvitravn_Album

Check out some critical praise for KVITRAVN here:

“Haunting, powerful and deeply immersive, it is an unmitigated triumph and a career high for Wardruna.”
Metal Hammer, 1/18/21

The messages that transcend time through centuries of storytelling are alive in this collection of songs and will be heard and felt for centuries to come thanks to Wardruna.”
Thank Folk For That, 1/28/21

Selvik’s commanding vocals, accompanied by bowed instrumentation, percussion, and a deep horn, combine to create a fantastic landscape of sound…Featuring stringed and bowed instruments, the symphonic composition redefines orchestral and classically sounding music by reimagining it as a traditional Norse take on that.”
New Noise Magazine, 1/22/21

WARDRUNA are displaying to the best of their abilities, masters in their craft, Kvitravn being no exception to that but the strength that holds this album up is unlike anything that could have been expected. Its simplicities make for complex and beautiful soundscapes.”
Distorted Sound, 1/20/21

The visceral intensity to this music sports both elegant beauty and grimacing grit. Closer “Andevarljod” encapsulates this balance of scene-setting nuance and infectious spirit. The song’s 11-minute run-time brings some of the most overwhelming crescendos of the band’s career, topped by some incredible vocal performances from Selvik.”
Riff Magazine, 1/20/21

KATE CLARK—Emerging Country Artist—Today Releases Debut Single And Lyric Video “No Halo”

DT: FEBRUARY 26, 2021

FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/LYNDIE WENNER
SRO PR (NASHVILLE, LOS ANGELES, LAS VEGAS)

KATE CLARK—
EMERGING COUNTRY ARTIST—
RELEASES DEBUT SINGLE AND LYRIC VIDEO
“NO HALO”
TODAY, FEBRUARY 26
LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE

AND WATCH THE LYRIC VIDEO HERE

“No Halo,” the debut single and lyric video released today (February 26) by emerging country artist KATE CLARK, announces the arrival of a fresh talent who’s been gifted with an expressive, elastic voice matched with her sharp yet vulnerable sense of songwriting. With KATE’s introspective lyrics about maintaining a strong self-identity in the face of life’s obstacles and a melodically bright, uplifting chorus, the song is “a melting pot of old-school and new-school,” says the Nashville-based and Austin-born-and-raised artist. “No Halo” was co-written and produced by David Lyndon Huff, whose extensive Nashville credits include producing the Doobie Brothers’ multi-artist tribute album Southbound with such artists as the Zac Brown Band and Vince Gill, and who is the younger brother of renowned producer Dann Huff. Listen to the song here and watch the lyric video here.

KATE plans to keep the excitement building throughout 2021; the singer and songwriter will release a series of singles, a song per month, alternating between original tracks and striking reinterpretations of songs by Oasis (“Wonderwall”), the Doobie Brothers (“Black Water”), and Justin Timberlake (“Drink You Away”).

With “No Halo,” KATE aims straight for the heart with lyrics such as “It ain’t easy/ Nothing’s ever fair/You, me and God know/You can still be good with no halo.”

“Writing ‘No Halo’ was both unfortunately and fortunately a very easy topic for me to write about,” reveals KATE. “Perfection. Why do we seek perfection? We know it’s unattainable, but even knowing this we put ourselves down. For girls and women especially, we’re conditioned from a young age to be ‘good’…you know, ‘be a good girl.’ I was far from perfect. I endured profound pain that over the years turned into profound joy and freedom. It’s amazing what real self-acceptance can do for the human spirit. The ‘Halo’ to me represented perfection, so the title ‘No Halo’ just made sense. I hope when people hear this song it can be another reminder, in the midst of commerce selling perfection, to embrace your ‘flaws,” learn from your failures, and most importantly allow yourself to grow. You can still and always will be good if you can love yourself just as you are, right where you are, even if you’ve misplaced your ‘halo’ or you never had one to begin with.”

RICHIE FURAY Shares Live Performance Video Of Poco Classic “C’mon” From Double Album Out 4/2

DT: FEBRUARY 26, 2021

FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK

RICHIE FURAY
TODAY SHARES LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO OF
POCO CLASSIC “C’MON”
AHEAD OF APRIL 2 RELEASE OF DOUBLE LIVE ALBUM + DVD
‘50TH ANNIVERSARY RETURN TO THE TROUBADOUR’
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee RICHIE FURAY–one of the chief architects of the country rock genre as a member of Buffalo Springfield, Poco and the Souther-Hillman- Furay Band–today (2/26) shared a live performance video of Poco’s in-concert favorite “C’mon” from their classic 1971 live album DeLIVErin.’ The video and single are taken from FURAY’s upcoming 50TH ANNIVERSARY RETURN TO THE TROUBADOUR–a double CD and download as well as a single DVD concert film on DSDK Productions, distributed by MRI Entertainment—out April 2. Watch the video here and listen to the single here. The video was premiered yesterday via Relix. Pre-save and pre-add the album here.

Recorded with The Richie Furay Band at the iconic Los Angeles venue in November 2018, the double album is comprised of two powerful sets: “Still DeLIVErin,’ which encompasses Buffalo Springfield songs, favored Poco tunes and some of FURAY’s finest solo work, and “DeLIVErin’ Again,” a front-to-back performance of Poco’s DeLIVErin’ plus their 1972 signature song “A Good Feelin’ To Know” with Timothy B. Schmit (who joined Poco in 1969 on vocals and bass) singing his parts. The audio for the CD and concert film was mixed and produced by multi-Grammy Award-winning audio engineer Ross Hogarth.

The FURAY-penned “C’mon” is emblematic of Poco’s soaring feel-good songs, one that galvanized its loyal fanbase at headlining shows at venues like New York’s Carnegie Hall and Fillmore East. “’C’mon’ was a song that certainly captured the heart of Poco’s audiences,” says FURAY. “It was a concert closer for our set for quite a few years having that upbeat tempo that just drew our audiences in.”

Lyrically, “C’mon” is a relationship song and one about peace, too, with lines like “I believe that you and I as friends/Should love one and another/Satisfied, have a peace of mind/ Love your neighbor as your brother.” Explains FURAY: “The song broadened out in the third verse to a message of hope for a world that was struggling with war. Either way, I wrote the song hoping it would convey a universal, positive message–that no matter how life looked, there was hope.”

The Troubadour show was truly a magical evening in many ways. The sold-out concert marked FURAY’s 50th anniversary return to the venue where Poco (originally as Pogo) performed their very first shows in 1968. The evening was marked by Timothy B. Schmit joining FURAY on the Schmit-penned “Hear That Music” from DeLIVErin’ and the above-mentioned “A Good Feelin’ To Know.” Timothy also introduced FURAY onstage

after reading a congratulatory note from Cameron Crowe (who intended being at the Troubadour in person but could not make it at the last minute). Timothy then introduced the esteemed artist and producer Peter Asher (Peter & Gordon), who presented FURAY with a commemorative award for his 50th anniversary return to the Troubadour. Also on hand at the show and backstage was Randy Meisner, Poco’s first bass player before Schmit replaced him.

Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist and producer JASON ACHILLES has taken his combined passion for music and astronomy to new heights as his work as a research consultant for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has now resulted in a historical first-ever Martian audio recording. ACHILLES was enlisted by NASA in the summer of 2017 to assemble a team of audio research experts to advise on microphone technology to be implemented on the surface of Mars for the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover mission after pitching David Gruel (Assembly, Test and Launch Operations Manager for Mars Perseverance at JPL) his concepts for informing a working audio selection, largely based on his work as an audio engineer for the past decade. His team worked towards final selection of audio flight hardware on the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover as part of an array of seven cameras known as the EDLCAM system (“entry, descent, and landing”) and successfully obtained sounds from Jezero Crater including a Martian breeze. Listen HERE.

ACHILLES shared the in-depth story of his background in space, how he independently worked to forward the idea of a ‘space microphone’, and what it was like to seize an incredible opportunity to develop this system alongside NASA via WIRED. Read the full interview here: https://www.wired.com/story/musician-who-designed-microphone-mars/

Compilation of sketches from ACHILLES initial pitches to NASA/JPL

Alongside his work with space audio technology, ACHILLES runs his boutique analog recording studio, Organic Audio Recorders, based in downtown LA, and is currently working with Dizzy Reed (Guns N’ Roses) on his forthcoming solo album. ACHILLES –who studied classical piano and has a B.A. in Music from UC Berkeley—is a multi-instrumentalist that simultaneously performs guitar, bass and keys using intricate looping techniques. Backed by drummer Forrest Mitchell, the duo released their debut full-length album COMEDOWN in 2016, which was praised by No Depression for its “slick guitar tones, enchanting as they intertwine through each and every song on the record.”

ACHILLES will release a new EP later this spring which was launched with the release of the single “RTL (Ready To Launch)” in December. The second single, “Eurotrash,” will debut this Friday, February 26 across all streaming platforms. Pre-save/order it here: smarturl.it/eurotrash.

PAPA ROACH Reveal Remastered “Broken As Me (Feat. Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria)” off Second Greatest Hits Album Due 3/19 via BETTER NOISE

DT: FEBRUARY 19, 2021

FM: KELLY WALSH, MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

PAPA ROACH
REVEAL OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO FOR REMASTERED
“BROKEN AS ME (feat. DANNY WORSNOP of ASKING ALEXANDRIA)”

MULTI-PLATINUM BAND TO RELEASE SECOND GREATEST HITS ALBUM SHOWCASING TENURE ON BETTER NOISE MUSIC,
‘GREATEST HITS VOL. 2: THE BETTER NOISE YEARS’

In yet another showing of their deep catalogue, iconic, multi-platinum rock band PAPA ROACH have shared a brand new, remastered version of their 2015 release, “Broken As Me,” inviting vocalist Danny Worsnop from British rock group Asking Alexandria to feature on the song.

“He’s been on our list for a while,” said PAPA ROACH’s lead singer Jacoby Shaddix, “and having just toured together, we thought of Danny first when listening to some of the deeper cuts on the album. With the pandemic in full swing, Danny was down right away. He’s one of the best vocalists in rock music, so we’re happy he said yes.”

Worsnop added, “Making music with my friends is something I always love and enjoy so when Jacoby called me about doing something together I was in right away. The Papa Roach guys have been close friends for a long time now and I’m glad they were able to see that the only thing holding them back from stardom all these years was not having me sing on a new version of one of their songs. I think this is really going to put them on the map and from the bottom of my heart, they’re welcome!”

The track, with such emotionally charged lyrics and raw, powerful vocals from both artists, is set to be included on their second greatest hits collection, GREATEST HITS VOL. 2: THE BETTER NOISE YEARS, out March 19 on Better Noise Music. Check out the re-energized version of “Broken As Me” in the lyric video above or streaming HERE.

GREATEST HITS VOL. 2: THE BETTER NOISE YEARS features 21 tracks including 12 of the band’s recent Top 10 singles released between 2010-2019 through Better Noise Music. The set also includes previously unreleased remixes and acoustic recordings recorded Live at YouTube Studios in NYC. This set marks the Sacramento band’s second greatest hits collection, a benchmark seldom reached by contemporaries; their first greatest hits set, …To Be Loved–The Best of Papa Roach, comprised their time from 1999–2009 on Interscope Records.

Meanwhile, “The Ending (Remastered 2020)”–the first single from GREATEST HITS VOL. 2: THE BETTER NOISE YEARS–was released last November and is currently #4 at Active Rock radio. It was accompanied by a haunting music video comprised of footage from the upcoming BETTER NOISE FILMS horror-thriller movie THE RETALIATORS which debuts in the Autumn and will feature vocalist JACOBY SHADDIX’s motion picture debut.

“We wanted to commemorate the last 10 years of our journey with a sampling of the music that got us here,” shares guitarist Jerry Horton. “None of it could have been possible without the support of all of our families, our friends, or team and most of all, you–our fans.”

Pre-order/pre-save Greatest Hits Vol. 2: The Better Noise Years here.

PAPA ROACH have continued to stretch their boundaries throughout the years, including features with artists outside their genre–such as their 2017 track “Periscope” with pop artist Skylar Grey (which is included on the new release)–and most recently collaborating with TikTok star/up-and-coming artist JERIS JOHNSON on a new version of their iconic hit “Last Resort.” Check out the collaboration in the music video for “Last Resort Reloadedhere.

To date PAPA ROACH have led the path for contemporary rock artists in the digital streaming era with over 2 billion streams globally and 9 million monthly listeners on Spotify. This set encompasses their career history of over 20 Top 5 Active Rock singles, 13 of which occurred in the past decade including four #1 singles –“Face Everything and Rise” (2014), “Help” and “Born For Greatness” (both 2017) and “Come Around” (2019).

BUDDERSIDE Uncage New Single/Music Video “Wide Awake” filmed at Abandoned Old L.A. Zoo

SOPHOMORE ALBUM
SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE

DUE MARCH 26 VIA MOTÖRHEAD MUSIC/SILVER LINING MUSIC

Los Angeles-based quintet BUDDERSIDE conjure high-energy alt-rock anthems which bridge the gap between the sexy swagger of the Sunset Strip and the soulful depths of Seattle on their forthcoming sophomore release SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE out March 26 via Motörhead Music/Silver Lining Music. The band have now unveiled a third single from the album with the striking track “Wide Awake” out today, February 19, across all digital platforms. The music video for “Wide Awake”—seen streaming below–was filmed at the abandoned Old L.A. Zoo in Griffith Park and shares an important story correlated to the single and album’s concept art.

“Every song always has a symbol, a visual story,” explains vocalist/founding member Patrick Stone. “‘Spiritual Violence’ lays down ten tarot cards, each representing a song. The story of ‘Wide Awake’ is one of manifesting your dreams, after a journey through Hell to reach them. The Hand Of Fatima is featured on the artwork for ‘Wide Awake’ and is the perfect reflection of this lesson. In the video, the band all pick cards from evil’s deck which reflect pieces of a puzzle that when all are in place reveal a greater destiny they share together.”

Getting to the abandoned location to film was a journey itself as drummer Jeff Dewbray recalls. “I got to take my drums on a f*ckin’ hike through an abandoned zoo. And that’s just the beginning of the madness in these videos! ‘Wide Awake’ has always been one of my favorite songs in the live set and every damn time I count it in, I know hysteria is bound to break out.  I’m forever grateful for everyone involved and couldn’t be more excited to show you all this video!”

 

Pre-order/pre-save SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE: https://smarturl.it/spiritual-violence

SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE was recorded with legendary producer Jay Baumgardner (Bush, Godsmack, Papa Roach) and mastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage). Its 10 tracks careen through STONE’s journey of overcoming addiction, loss and heartbreak to discovering resurrection with patience, perseverance and meditation set over soaring melodies and catchy refrains. BUDDERSIDE previously shared two singles: “Zen”–via MXDWN which American Songwriter applauded for “hav(ing) effortlessly aligned jazz, funk and pop influences with their rock persona that lends to interesting chord progressions and key changes”–and “Pardon Me (featuring Phil Campbell of Motörhead)”–whose animated music video depicted the story behind how the band was introduced and signed to Motörhead Music by its late founder, Motörhead vocalist Lemmy Kilmister.

BUDDERSIDE has previously been seen on tours alongside Motörhead, Slayer, Anthrax and L.A. Guns as well as being featured on international festivals including Wacken Open Air, Motörboat, Malmö Festival and the Monsters Of Rock cruise. They most recently shared their infectious live performance with audiences in December via a special livestream performance at the iconic Sunset Strip venue Whisky A Go Go which was aired across their socials as well as the equally famed Rainbow Bar and Grill’s networks in honor of Lemmy’s birthday which included a guest appearance and post-show Q&A panel from former MTV VJ and music personality Matt Pinfield.

Alt-metal Outfit AMERICAN TERROR Revive Rare House of Pain track “Legend” In New Music Video

DT: FEBRUARY 19, 2021

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

ALT-METAL OUTFIT
AMERICAN TERROR
REVIVE RARE HOUSE OF PAIN TRACK
WITH NEW COVER SINGLE/MUSIC VIDEO
“LEGEND”

WATCH HERE

 


Atlanta-based alt-metal outfit AMERICAN TERROR dug into the archives to revive the rare “Legend (Lethal Dose Remix)” track from hip hop group House of Pain, which was solely released on their 1994 EP Legend and never made available digitally. AMERICAN TERROR—which consists of drummer Rob Hammersmith (Skid Row) and Grayson Manor alumni vocalist Brad Cox, guitarist Pat Valley and bassist GK Via—add in their aggressive, unique brew of metal, punk, hard rock and rap to give the single a second chance to see the light of day with their hard-hitting cover out today, Friday, February 19. Watch the music video debut for “Legend” (streaming below) which highlights the track’s themes revolving around drug abuse, suicide and mental health issues, with tributes to several artists that have succumbed to those struggles in recent years.

“I chose this song because I always loved House Of Pain and hip hop” shares Cox, who also produced and mixed the track at the Lawrenceville, GA-based Black Paw Studios which he is a partner of with legendary producer Mike Clink (Guns N’ Roses, MegadethMetallica). “This song never got the credit it deserved. The subject matter still stands strong and relevant to everything going on in the world right now. The song tackles drug abuse and suicides, which given the current times, everyone is feeling the pain and struggle. We’ve lost too many talented people because of this and too many people in general.”

 

AMERICAN TERROR’s debut record Influencer was released last year by the EMP Label Group and has logged more than 250,000 Spotify streams which was led by singles “Judgement” and “She’s A B*tch.” Following its release, the band shared a genre-bending remix of “Judgement”—mastered by Glenn Schick (Lil Wayne, Future, Ludacris). The track features legendary rapper Sticky Fingaz, who is known for his group Onyx’s hit “Slam” as well as a guest appearance (“Remember Me”) on Eminem‘s classic The Marshall Mathers LP; he is also an award-winning ASCAP songwriter for his work with Travis Scott.

AMERICAN TERROR are currently tracking material for their sophomore release due later this year. Cox shares that they’ve “elevated the band to a new level and truly found their identity.” Stay tuned for further news on its release in the coming months.
