MICHAEL MONROE Releases Spine Chilling Video for "Derelict Palace"

MICHAEL MONROE RELEASES SPINE-CHILLING VIDEO "DERELICT PALACE" WATCH HERE 'I LIVE TOO FAST TO DIE YOUNG' OUT NOW NEW LIVE DATES ANNOUNCED

Today, on All Hallows’ Eve, Michael Monroe releases his video for the majestically dark single, “Derelict Palace”, taken from the album, 'I Live Too Fast To Die Young', out now via Silver Lining Music.   “'Derelict Palace' is about watching someone that you care about disappear into drug addiction," guitarist Rich Jones explains. Musically, the track takes on a melodic, somber tone. “I had been listening to a lot of post-punk when I wrote it - Echo & The Bunnymen, Psychedelic Furs, The Church - and I wanted to see if we could push the band in that kind of musical direction” adds Jones. The single is aptly accompanied with an eerie, yet mesmerizing, video showing the band performing in a desolate, gothic, manor house, including scenes of Monroe flicking a switchblade knife gifted to him recently in Milan by none other than Alice Cooper himself.   Michael Monroe adds, “the song was written about people who get a little too into drugs and before you know it, they kind of disappear from all of the people and things that they used to love. Of course, that’s sad, but that said, there’s something cool about being an outcast and not fitting in… This is one of my favorite songs off the 'I Live Too Fast To Die Young' album and it adds a nice new dimension to my band’s sound and style. Plus, we found the perfect place to film the video for it!” Watch the Video for "Derelict Palace" HERE

Get the Album HERE

At a time when it seems increasingly hard to remain positive, 'I Live Too Fast To Die Young' encompasses eleven lean, mean, raw slices of rock ‘n’ roll joy.  Even when the key goes minor, Monroe’s music always seems to retain at the very least a hopeful edge, something he ascribes to a specific Finnish quality.   “Finnish people are experts in melancholia,” Monroe affirms, “and a lot of that melancholia - certain chords and sounds, even though they’re minor keys - is not necessarily sad. It’s just kind of a melancholic feeling that feels good in the end.”   Michael Monroe and gang will be joining Black Star Riders on their 2023 UK tour along with Motörhead’s Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. The tour will kick-off on February 13 at Nottingham’s Rock City and conclude at London’s 02 Shepherds Bush Empire on February 26.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds today release a brand new single – “Pretty Boy” – the first to be revealed from Noel’s forthcoming studio album. Listen HERE.   “Pretty Boy” signals the beginning of a new creative chapter. Recorded at Noel’s own studio in London, Lone Star Sound, and co-produced with Paul “Strangeboy” Stacey, it also features long-time friend and collaborator Johnny Marr on guitar. Representative of Noel’s unique exploratory approach to songwriting, the track has an evocative vocal set among a hypnotic bassline, driving beats, high-energy riffs and instant hook. Matching the sonic refinement of “Pretty Boy” is a striking new lyric video. Watch HERE.   Speaking about the new track, Noel says: “For this new record it was the first thing I wrote, the first thing I demoed and the first thing I finished, so it’s only right that it’s the first thing people get to hear. Massive shout out to my mainest man Johnny Marr for taking it somewhere special. Oh ... and watch out for a cameo from me in the video … first one to spot me wins a bag of Flamin’ Hot Wotsits Giants!!”   Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ previous studio album Who Built The Moon?, was released in 2017, charting at #1 in the UK Official Albums Chart on release. Noel has remained a restless creative and followed this with a series of three critically acclaimed multi-genre EPs. June 2021 saw the release of Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021) - a career-defining Best Of celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ richly diverse body of work. The album marked the band’s 4th consecutive #1 album, and the 12th #1 album across Noel’s prolific career.   This summer saw Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds complete a nationwide tour of outdoor shows, culminating with an epic set on Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage to one of the weekend’s biggest crowds.   Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ fourth studio album will be released next year, with further details to be revealed soon.

Happy Halloween! Ska-Goth Collective GRAVE DANGER Release New Single "Wake The Dead"

Ska-Goth Collective GRAVE DANGER Release New Single "Wake The Dead"

" If you’re not grinning like a Jack O’Lantern at the end, you might be dead."- Hollywood Life

Happy Halloween! Check out "Wake The Dead" the latest single from for ska-goth (skath?) collective Grave Danger! Soundcloud Spotify Apple Music Bandcamp The band says, "With "Wake the Dead" we wanted a big, menacing sound, worthy of the Lovecraftian horror that inspired it, to balance out the fun, bouncy horn parts that we love to write. We had a great time working to get the vibe just right for this monstrous love letter to coffee." As high school students in Chicago’s suburbs, David Schwantes and Dane Erbach spent the bulk of their gym class brainstorming fake bands with their friends in an attempt to avoid whatever physical despair their PE teachers had in store for them that day. These bands—which included a death metal band called Throbbing Reaper and a ‘80s hair metal rockers Live Wire—never truly coalesced outside of their imaginations despite complete lineups and exhaustive discographies. The idea of a “skath” band didn’t occur to Schwantes and Erbach until fifteen years later, but it stems from the same strange place: What would a goth ska band sound like, one combined the Misfits’s aesthetic with Reel Big Fish’s goofball schtick? The idea died quickly, another quirky idea that could have fun if there were enough hours in the day Neither Schwantes nor Erbach were strangers to ska and punk music—both were in a ska band in college and worked together on an online database for midwest ska bands in the early 2000s. Both also played pop-punk together until Erbach turned toward other creative endeavors and Schwantes moved to San Francisco. That’s when the whole skath idea crawled out of its tomb and stumbled zombie-like back into their imaginations. Schwantes started writing songs while Erbach put together a team of family and friends to fill in vocals, horns, and organs. They sent recordings and ideas back and forth halfway across the continental United States, intent on seeing this idea through. Thus, Grave Danger was born. Full of eerie organs and thick horns, their 2018 debut Let ‘er RIP! fulfilled their initial vision with surprising ease. A year later, the band finished Tomb It May Concern, their more realized five-song follow-up. And this fall, they will release “Wake the Dead," the second of two long-awaited singles following last year’s “Spector Inspector.” With its driving beat and call and response horns, “Wake the Dead” is a song about the amount of coffee required to raise a Lovecraftian beast from its comfy bed that both blue collar and white collar monsters will relate to. The songs features everything a good skath song should: a wagging bassline, swaggering horns, and just enough organs synths make the song spooky, not cheesy (or, well, maybe just cheesy enough). Singer Chris Marcanti's gruff, soulful singing conjures a Ckthulu-like protagonist to life with promises of caffeine—but will it be enough? It might be easy to write Grave Danger off as a novelty because, well, maybe it is. But it’s also a daydream realized—or possibly a nightmare. It's what would happen is Bobby “Boris” Pickett and his Crypt Kickers were still alive and listened to the BossTones: fun and furious music intended to make listeners laugh and dance. Most importantly, Grave Danger is a passion project created by dads and moms, aunts and uncles, software engineers and IT professionals and nurses, managers and entrepreneurs and CPAs, grown ups who work for nonprofits and public schools—regular people who, every once in a while, want to don corpse paint, pick up their instruments, shake off some dust, and blow the audience away.

Pick a week--any week--on the Billboard Hot 100 charts over the past ten years, and many of the biggest songs will involve at least one member of the Prescription Songs family. Currently as the music industry prepares to enter its busiest period of the year with releases from superstar artists, Prescription Songs rolls into the fourth quarter with songwriters and producers represented in four songs on the Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten (week of Oct 29) including #1 singles “Unholy” by Sam Smith & Kim Petras (Kim Petras) and “Super Freaky Girl” by Nicki Minaj (Dr. Luke, Malibu Babie, Vaughn Oliver, Lunchmoney Lewis, Aaron Joseph), “I Like You (A Happier Song)” by Post Malone featuring Doja Cat (Doja Cat), and “Forever” by Lil Baby & Fridayy (Fridayy). “Unholy” is a history making moment for both Petras and Smith becoming the first openly nonbinary and transgender artists to top the Billboard 100. With “Super Freaky Girl,” Malibu Babie, Vaughn Oliver, Aaron Joseph and Lunchmoney Lewis garnered their first #1s, with Dr. Luke topping the chart for his 40th turn. Doja Cat needs no introduction as the superstar has reigned in the Top 10 for the last 20 weeks for this track alone, in addition to numerous cuts from her 2021 album Planet Her and her song “Vegas” from the motion picture film Elvis. Fridayy--who has become increasingly popular for creating unique vocal sample loops--signed with Prescription Songs earlier this summer and this cut with Lil Baby lands him his first Billboard Hot 100 standout. Meanwhile, more heat comes from the company with DallasK. The artist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter will be represented at the Latin Grammys on November 17 as a nominee in four categories--“Album Of The Year” and “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album” for Christina Aguilera’s Aguilera, “Best Urban Song of the Year” for Nicky Jam’s “Ojos Rios” and “Best Urban/Fusion Performance” for Christina Aguilera & Ozuna’s “Santo.” The music publishing powerhouse’s roster of more than 150 writers reads like a who's who of the most popular artists, songwriters and producers in music, past and present, including Emily Warren, KBeaZy, Doja Cat, Vaughn Oliver, Becky G, and Joy Oladokun. Beyond crafting popular chart-topping radio hits, Prescription’s talented artists garner accolades among the industry with numerous GRAMMY Award winners and nominees, multiple recipients of ASCAP and BMI Songwriter of the Year Awards, a winner of the 2020 VMA Push New Artist Award, a Spotify Secret Genius of the Year: Songwriter Award, a Hal David Starlight Award winner, and iHeartRadio Producer of the Year, among them.   The company--ranked #6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Publishing Corporations Year-End Chart (the #1 independent publisher) and named ASCAP Indie Publisher of the Year multiple times (2013, 2014, 2015)--maintains offices in music’s biggest cities, Los Angeles and Nashville, led by a primarily female team with Rhea Pasricha on the West Coast and Katie Fagan in Nashville.   Its staff and roster of legendary and rising songwriters and producers are at the forefront of the industry, creating some of the biggest chart-topping hits, including Dua Lipa’s 4x-platinum hit “Don’t Start Now” (Emily Warren), Doja Cat’s 3x-platinum “Say So” (Doja Cat, Tyson Trax), 24kGoldn’s 3x-platinum “Mood (feat iann dior)” (KBeaZy), Saweetie feat. Doja Cat’s 3x-platinum “Best Friend” (Rocco Valdes, Doja Cat, Kaine, A1 LaFlare), and Latto’s platinum “Big Energy” (A1 LaFlare, Vaughn Oliver, Kaine). Recently the company’s Nashville office was profiled in The Tennessean, whose Marcus K. Dowling noted “is among those piloting the city’s evolution from a country music hub to being a dynamic pop and urban music paradise” with a roster he touted is “as diverse as they are talented.” Elsewhere, Music Row highlighted Prescription’s accomplishments in a multi-page feature spread in their Publisher’s Issue (Oct/Nov 2022); writer Lydia Farthing wrote “Prescription has seen an impressive expansion of their roster…Within their collective of skilled writers, artists and producers, the publishing house has landed cuts for a notable list of artists that span across a wide swath of genres from country, pop, hip-hop, R&B and even K-pop.” She went on to echo the company’s position: “With more and more noise being made outside of the country genre, it’s only a matter of time before all of Nashville’s musical worlds begin to slowly collide, which will make our community all the better.” About Prescription Songs: With offices in Los Angeles and Nashville, Prescription Songs is an independent publisher representing some of today’s top songwriters, artists and producers across all genres of music and is responsible for some of the most recognizable songs of the last 20 years.
