Purveyors of their own distinctive, genre-blurring sound “Thrash Grass”, The Native Howl has released their gritty new single and official music video for “Mercy“ featuring Lzzy Hale of Halestorm (via Sumerian Records). With foreboding, foot-stomping rhythm, and the band’s raw intensity paired with Lzzy‘s inimitable vocals, “Mercy“ is bound to rattle listeners down to the bone. When asked about today’s release, the band shared:

“‘Mercy’ was written as our original Thrash Grass anthem, and to have our vocal hero Lzzy Hale singing on it is nothing short of a dream come true!

‘Mercy’ subtly tells the story of infamous Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, and the dichotomy of dark and light between him and his disgraced politician brother William. While pulling from additional themes of organized religion and corruption, the music bed’s growth in intensity throughout attempts to paint the process of all evil and wrong-doing slowly being brought to light.

Speaking about The Native Howl, Lzzy Hale also commented:

“I fell in love with Native Howl from the moment they walked on stage at the Troubadour. I could feel their energy before they even played the first note. For those few minutes of performance I was entertained in a way I haven’t felt in years. These boys are doing something special, unapologetically…and that is the magic. I was a judge on the show No Cover, but not when these boys played, I was, and forever will be a fan. The only thing sweeter than their incredible mash up of influence and top tier musicianship, is their big hearts. Good luck world…The Native Howl are about to set you on fire.”
The band previously released “Can’t Sleep” and “Sons of Destruction” after winning Season 1 of the hit TV series No Cover and signing with Sumerian Records. Stream “Mercy“ here and watch the incredible music video below.

North American fans have their opportunity to see The Native Howl bring their incendiary live show with Clutch and Blacktop Mojo beginning in late April. For ticket information please click here, and be sure to stay tuned for more news from The Native Howl coming very soon.

The Native Howl is a genre-defying quartet hailing from Leonard, Michigan, USA. Their fast-tempo music they’ve coined as “Thrash Grass” combines the aggression and intensity of thrash metal with the precision and melodicism of bluegrass. The band was born from a musical experiment that defied all expectations by blending elements of folk, bluegrass, rock, and metal, resulting in a sound entirely their own. With a dash of outlaw spirit and a touch of the wilderness, their music transports listeners to a sonic landscape where the traditional meets the contemporary. From foot-stomping bluegrass jams to lightning-fast metal-esque banjo picking, their tracks are a musical thrill ride that keeps the listener guessing with each note. Their lyrics often explore the dark sides of the human condition, nature, and the trials of life, creating a deep and personal connection with their audience.

NIGHT VERSES
Official Music Video For
“GLITCHING PRISMS”

Feat Brandon Boyd of Incubus
Watch HERE

Taken From Ambitious Double Album 
‘EVERY SOUND HAS A COLOR IN THE VALLEY OF NIGHT’
Out March 15th via Equal Vision Records

Progressive metal trailblazers, Night Verses, have released the official music video for their recently released track featuring Brandon Boyd, “Glitching Prisms” featuring the iconic vocals of Incubus frontman, Brandon Boyd. Watch HERE.

Night Verses ft Brandon Boyd”Glitching Prisms”

Taken from the second part of their phenomenal double album ‘Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night‘, releasing via Equal Vision Records. This release marks the second chapter of their album following the acclaimed Part I in September 2023, which marked their explosive return from a five-year hiatus and will be released on March 15th, when the whole album will be available to listen to as a full body of work for the first time. Pre-order ‘Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night‘ HERE.

Speaking on the track, Night Verses share

“Brandon has such an undeniably unique approach to his instrument. When collaborating with artists of his nature, you often expect to have to bend to their undeniable strengths to make it work. However when writing ‘Glitching Prisms’ with him, his take on the song was instantly the missing piece. Everything he did stepped up the composition, and at the same time was so different from what we initially imagined. I don’t think any of us could be happier with how it turned out.”

With over 15 million career streams and an enormous, ever growing amount of critical acclaim, Night Verses are poised to continue their ascent to new creative heights, affirming their status as pioneers and innovators within the world of heavy music. ‘Every Sound Has A Color In The Valley Of Night‘ sees NIGHT VERSES tear up the rulebook once again with a kaleidoscopic vision. Truly living up to the accolade given to them by Noisey, who referred to the band as “the Salvador Dali of Progressive metal”.

ABOUT NIGHT VERSES: 

Hailing from Fullerton, CA, NIGHT VERSES first galvanized listeners with their 2012  EP ‘Out Of The Sky’, merging prog, alt-metal, post-rock and ambient electronica into their own intoxicating strain of cinematic metal.

They continued to hone their bold songwriting and genre-bending musicianship on their debut full-length, 2014’s ‘Lift Your Existence’. After the mass critical acclaim that followed, they returned in 2016 with the full-length ‘Into The Vanishing Light’ produced by legendary producer Ross Robinson (Slipknot, At The Drive In). The album was the band’s first release after signing with Equal Vision Records, and marked their last album with a vocalist. 

The band released their first instrumental album 2018, with the critically acclaimed ‘From The Gallery Of Sleep’, which cemented them as fearless, genre-defying innovators. Dubbed “The Salvador Dali of prog-metal” by Noisey / Vice, the album was hailed as “boundary-breaking prog” (Revolver), “ambitious and creative” (Exclaim!) and “a layered prog masterpiece” (Distorted Sound).

Now after a 5-year wait that’s felt like an eternity, NIGHT VERSES are back to reclaim their rightful place at the forefront of progressive heavy music. With over 15 million career streams and unanimously glowing critical praise for their first four releases, the stage is set for NIGHT VERSES to ascend to even greater heights.

Spin Doctors “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong”
Thirty Seconds To Mars “The Kill (Bury Me)”

___

“When exploring the realm of music, one cannot overlook the intriguing phenomenon of good songs by bands that may not always receive universal acclaim. “Popular Monster” by Falling In Reverse and “Blurry” by Puddle Of Mudd stand out as prime examples of this intriguing dynamic. Falling In Reverse’s “Popular Monster” captivates listeners with its intense energy and raw emotion, showcasing the band’s ability to blend genres seamlessly. On the other hand, Puddle Of Mudd’s “Blurry” resonates with audiences through its heartfelt lyrics and melodic composition, despite the band’s mixed reception in the music industry. These songs serve as a testament to the fact that even bands with varying levels of critical acclaim can produce music that strikes a chord with listeners on a profound level.” (Perplexity)

ABOUT HALESTORM:
Having amassed over 2.5 Billion streams globally, the Grammy-Award winning band Halestorm has grown from a childhood dream of siblings Lzzy and Arejay Hale into one of the most celebrated rock bands of the last two decades.  Most recently, the band released Back From The Dead, their fifth full-length studio album which has tallied over 100 Million streams worldwide. Rolling Stone called the title track “a biting but cathartic howler about overcoming all obstacles,” and that song as well, as “The Steeple,” marked their fifth and sixth number ones at rock radio, respectively. Associated Press said the album “will definitely be in the running for best hard rock/metal album of the year.” Their previous album, Vicious, earned the band their second Grammy nomination, for Best Hard Rock Performance for the song “Uncomfortable,” the band’s fourth #1 at rock radio, and led Loudwire to name Halestorm “Rock Artist of the Decade” in 2019.  Fronted by the incomparable Lzzy Hale with drummer Arejay Hale, guitarist Joe Hottinger, and bass player Josh Smith, Halestorm’s music has earned multiple Platinum and Gold Certifications from the RIAA, and the band has earned a reputation as a powerful live music force, headlining sold-out shows and topping festival bills around the world, and sharing the stage with icons including Heaven & Hell, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett, and Judas Priest. Additionally, Lzzy was named the first female brand ambassador for Gibson and served as host of AXS TV’s “A Year in Music.”

ABOUT I PREVAIL:
I Prevail have established themselves as the forerunners of the genre in the 21st century. Their latest release TRUE POWER, once again produced by Tyler Smyth, features the sort of stadium-sized riffs that will rattle your teeth loose from your gums and unforgettable, supremely catchy melodies that will camp out in your brain for weeks at a time. The band also alternately mixes screamed vocals that sound as though they crawled from the depths of hell with soaring, emotional vocals and heartfelt, intimate lyrics that go so deep, they hit marrow. The end result is an album that resonates with the listener in the most personal way. Rising to an arena level and receiving two Grammy nominations — Best Rock Album for Trauma and Best Metal Performance for crushing lead single “Bow Down” — I Prevail proved that they were built to last. To date, they’ve racked up more than 4.1 billion global streams, are approaching 716 million YouTube views, and saw both “Hurricane” and “Bad Things” singles top Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart in 2020 and 2022 respectively. A number of their singles and album Lifelines have now been certified Gold and Platinum, and they have been praised by press far and wide, including Forbes, Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, and NPR. I Prevail have affirmed their position among the genre’s elite.

ABOUT HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD:
 Formed in 2005, Hollywood Undead inched towards mainstream dominance under the radar with unprecedented success for a modern band. Preceding the current playlist-hopping genre-less boom, they defied stylistic boundaries from day one integrating rap, rock, and electronic. The band will be heading back out on the road in the Fall of 2023 with hip hop legend Tech N9ne co-head lining the HOLLYWOOD & N9NE Tour in support of their 8th studio album, Hotel Kalifornia.

ABOUT FIT FOR A KING:
Fit For A King’s musical style is rooted in metal and hardcore and uplifted by hypnotic hooks. Following the breakout LP Creation/Destruction [2013], they earned four consecutive Top 5 debuts on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart with Slave to Nothing [2014], Deathgrip [2016], Dark Skies [2018], and The Path [2020]. The latter marked their first Top 10 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart. Plus, the band collaborated with fellow heavy-hitters such as August Burns Red and We Came As Romans. They’ve generated nearly 435 million streams over the course of their career, have toured with Pierce the Veil, I Prevail, The Devil Wears Prada, Motionless in White, and many more. Their latest The Hell We Create is out now via Solid State Records.

Sad Summer Fest Turns 5; Announces 2024 Lineup & Dates

By
Ana Santos
-

Sad Summer Festival is excited to announce their 2024 lineup today as the event looks to celebrate its 5-Year anniversary. Originally launched in 2019 by some of the artists and industry folks lamenting the loss of the long-running Vans Warped Tour, Sad Summer was the first major event to emerge in the wake of Vans Warped Tour’s end. Initially serving as a way for the community to continue to come together, Sad Summer has grown significantly each year becoming a scene staple and contributing to its reemergence over the past four years. The nationwide run features festival founders Mayday Parade and The Maine along with The Wonder Years, We The Kings, Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, & Daisy Grenade on all dates with support coming from The Summer Set, Hot Milk, Diva Bleach, and Like Roses on select shows.

“For most of my adult life, I’ve associated the summer with music festivals; their open-air venues, the mix of tour bus exhaust and heat radiating off asphalt, and, of course, hearing my favorite music at twilight, lit by the flicker of fireflies – Sad Summer epitomizes this experience. It also serves as a unifying force in our music scene, a place for every emo kid to gather around, connect with fellow fans, and truly be themselves. With this in mind, it is a deep honor to close Sad Summer; the music we’ve poured our hearts and souls into becoming an indelible part of those warm summer nights, where friends and memories are made.” – Alex Garcia of Mayday Parade

“A lot can change in four summers. And for me, a lot has. But a constant throughout the peaks and valleys of the last four summers has been my love for playing music loudly, seeing old faces and making new amigos. This marks the 5th anniversary of the Sad Summer Festival, and I couldn’t dream up a better place to rip gigs and see smiling people lose their heads. But the real question at hand is…Corn dogs or nah?” – John O’Callaghan of The Maine

Unlike most major festivals that feature multiple stages and hundreds of bands each day, Sad Summer opted to create a more intimate experience with one stage and a smaller curated lineup each year. This intentional decision eliminates any competition and the need to decide which act you are going to watch, while simultaneously providing the smaller acts on the bill a real chance to be seen and heard. In addition, festival co-founders Mike Marquis, Josh Terry, and Tim Kirch, made it a goal with Sad Summer to create an environment that is inclusive and independent. This conscious choice has been well-received making them one of Pollstar’s “Top Grossing Tours of 2021” and seeing overall attendance nearly doubling in the last four years.

Another important theme of Sad Summer is its ongoing commitment to non-profit partnerships and involvement. As they look to celebrate their fifth-year anniversary in 2024, the festival will continue to build upon their dedication to giving exposure and access to a variety of causes the artists, founders, and community are passionate about. This year fans can expect to learn more about previously involved non-profits like HeadCount and Reverb, as well as learn about Sad Summer’s new partnership with Calling All Crows among others. Each organization will have an on-site presence, providing education and resources.

Sad Summer Festival started in 2019 with The Maine and Mayday Parade topping the bill and over the next four years the annual event has featured All Time Low, Taking Back Sunday, PVRIS, Neck Deep, Waterparks, The Story So Far, and more. This year will be the first time The Maine and Mayday Parade have toured together since Sad Summer’s inaugural run. They will be joined for each show by The Wonder Years, We The Kings, Knuckle Puck, & Daisy Grenade. Like Roses can be caught July 12 through 19, Diva Bleach July 20 through August 9, The Summer Set is July 12, 13, and 19-21 and Hot Milk is playing July 23 through August 9. Reminder Pre-sale sign-ups start March 1, 2024, on-sale is March 8, 2024 and information for all fans can be found via SADSUMMERFEST.COM.

The “Coming Home” video offers an unexpected element from a band best known for its high-energy, sexy, bluesy rock’n’roll and reflects the song’s message about navigating through the peaks and valleys of life.  With lyrics by vocalist Marc LaBelle, the song is a deeply personal, heartfelt tale of love and life’s everyday challenges: the insecurities, the misunderstandings, the words spoken that you wish you hadn’t, and the hurt inflicted that you can’t magically erase.  But, in the end, the realization is that no matter the challenges, home is where your heart is, home is where you belong, and home is just a few more miles ahead.

Said LaBelle, “Being musicians that live on the road, ‘Home’ has become wherever it is that we’re playing music, rather than a particular place. We wanted to showcase our separate journeys, knowing full well that the music will always call us back home.” 

Directed, shot, and edited by cinematographer Mark Christy, the “Coming Home” video was filmed in January, taking the band – LaBelle, guitarist John Notto, bassist Justin Smolian, and drummer Jaydon Bean – to various U.S. locations.  Explained LaBelle, “We went to Snoquamish for the snow and to Durango and Flagstaff for the train scenes. And we knew Monument Valley was an epic, very American West-looking landscape symbolic of both America’s beauty and the struggle of and vastness of traveling through the American West.” 

Having kicked off in Glasgow, Scotland on February 7, heading to Australia in March for their first-ever “down under” concerts, and performing at two major summer U.S. festivals in May, Dirty Honey’s upcoming U.K./European/Australian/U.S. dates are below:

It’s happening! Beloved early 2000s pop-punk band Something Corporate has announced the Out Of Office Tour 2024, marking the first official tour featuring the band’s five original members in over 20 years. The 16-date outing finds Something Corporate crossing the country throughout the summer and fall, kicking off June 21st in New York City at The Rooftop at Pier 17. The five-piece, with special guests to be announced, will be stopping in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Washington, DC, Asbury Park, Boston, Nashville, Atlanta, Orlando, Cleveland, Detroit, Denver, and Salt Lake City before wrapping back home in California at LA’s Hollywood Palladium on October 11th and The Warfield in San Francisco on October 12th. PRESS HERE to watch the tour promo video and PRESS HERE to read an exclusive interview with Rolling Stone about the tour.

Fan-club presale begins Tuesday, February 27th at 10am local time with Spotify and local presales available Wednesday, February 28th and Thursday, February 29th. The general on-sale will commence Friday, March 1st at 10am local time. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates and visit www.somethingcorporate.com for ticketing details and to purchase. The tour will be using a Face Value Exchange where, if needed, fans can resell their ticket to other fans at the original price paid. To help protect the Exchange, tickets for this tour will be mobile only and restricted from transfer. This applies to all shows except those in Illinois, Colorado, New York, and Utah where Face Value Exchange cannot be mandated.

“The band and I couldn’t be more excited for these upcoming dates,” shares front man Andrew McMahon. “We’re having more fun together than ever and the generosity of the fans, both online and at last year’s shows, made it impossible not to come back and do a few more. We hope to see you there!”

The core members of the Orange County, California quintet – Andrew McMahon (vocals, piano), Josh Partington (guitar), Kevin “Clutch” Page (bass), Brian Ireland (drums), and William Tell (guitar) – reunited in 2023 for main stage performances at the When We Were Young festival and three sold-out headlining shows in Las Vegas and Anaheim. These five special gigs, their first official shows together in 20 years, left their dedicated fanbase clamoring for more. The reunion performances also saw McMahon debut a one-of-a-kind upright piano fully wrapped in Christie MicroTiles LED displaying images and lyrics from throughout the band’s catalog, slated to be front and center once again on the Out Of Office Tour.

Something Corporate first formed in 1998 when its members were in high school and in a short period of time created quite the stir before going on hiatus in 2005. During its tenure, the highly adored SoCal band released multiple albums, including their major label debut, Leaving Through The Window, in 2002 via MCA Records/Drive-Thru Records, which premiered at the top of the Billboard Heatseekers Chart, and 2003’s North, which entered the Billboard 200 at #24. During its heyday, the band toured extensively worldwide, including a summer on the Vans Warped Tour, graced the cover of Alternative Press magazine, and performed on late-night TV including an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Collectively, Something Corporate – hailed as “one of the most respected groups in the scene with their incredible hooks and emotionally transparent music” (Alternative Press) – has sold over 1 million total records.
