SUMMARY:Igorrr w/ Secret Chiefs 3\, Violent Magic Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:IGORRR\nAMEN\nMETAL BLADE RECORDS\n1. Daemoni 4:15\n2. Headbutt 3:45\n3. Limbo 4:42\n4. Blastbeat Falafel 3:17\n5. Adhd 4:38\n6. 2020 0:13\n7. Mustard Mucous 3:08\n8. Infestis 5:29\n9. Ancient Sun 4:03\n10. Pure Disproportionate Black And White Nihilism 3:51\n11. Etude n120 1:30\n12. Silence 5:47\nFrench multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has been operating under the name Igorrr for twenty years now\, yet each new record still resounds with a startling freshness and radical vitality. Steadfastly unclassifiable fifth album AMEN maintains this impact\, blindsiding the listener with a new set of exploratory curveballs and continuing to surprise and unnerve even the most attuned enthusiast. Since signing to Metal Blade in 2017\, the Igorrr name has expanded from one man’s pseudonym to become a full group identity\, but Gautier remains the project’s guiding light and mastermind\, so he’s the best man to ask to describe the indescribable. “This album is definitely darker than its predecessors\, it has such a very weighty and solemn vibe that has never been reached before in Igorrr\,” explains Gautier. “The fact that I recorded a real choir in a church helped this a lot\, but above all there has been very long and meticulous work on the sound and the choice of instruments\, and deep experimental research to create a unique sound design. Of course\, because it’s an Igorrr album\, there are some more colorful tracks\, like Blastbeat Falafel\, ADHD etc… they contrast very much with the ambient heaviness. I need tracks like these on an album\, it helps to really get through it fully focused\, like a shot of limoncello\nbefore the next meal.”\nWith an urge to continually take Igorrr’s multifaceted and challenging sound further forward with each release\, Gautier has spent a lot of time cultivating multiple new modes and methods of working since 2020’s breathtaking\, critically acclaimed opus Spirituality And Distortion – which even reached number twelve on the official German album chart. “Things were in development in my studio that I haven’t done before\, waiting for the right moment and opportunity to do it\,” he says. “With this album they found the perfect place. As an example I have in mind the track Silence\, which is basically some very heavy harsh noise contrasted with beautiful operatic vocals and an orchestra\, on a very heavy irregular drum beat based on a smooth piano. I have also in mind Ancient Sun\, which is more like traditional music\, trip hop vibes with a harp and a theremin\, but with very unusual melodies. To give you a hint of how heavy some parts might be\, I played a piano with an excavator to end the track Headbutt. I have always been fascinated and passionate about pushing boundaries in\nmusic\, this album is no exception.”\nJoining the excavator\, theremin and church choir in the arsenal of instrumentation utilised here for the first time on an Igorrr record\, we can also experience the deep haunting wail of the dung-chen – a nine-foot brass horn used in Buddhist ceremonies\, described by Gautier as the “authentic sound of Tibet” – and an “old giant rusty saw\, made originally to cut rocks”\, pressed into service as a makeshift industrial gong. On the theme of metallic resonances\, Gautier also experimented with the percussive possibilities of a blacksmith’s anvil: “I smashed every snare on the track Pure Disproportionate Black And White Nihilism with a giant hammer to use the tail of the sound and make it more brutal\,” he reveals. But it’s not all bad news for the eardrums: “Also for the first time in Igorrr there is a little baroque piece of music\, not destroyed by drums and distortions.”\nGautier has always made clear that Igorrr is as much about the influence of Bach and Chopin as it is about Cannibal Corpse\, Aphex Twin and Meshuggah\, but the source of specific stimuli gets harder to ascertain as the process is refined. “It’s always difficult for me to know from where the inspiration comes\,” he muses. “Music is an expression of life\, and I would say everything\, even what seems the most insignificant thing\, can be a source of inspiration. I would say there hasn’t been one event or one experience that has lead me on a creative process\, it’s more like a cumulation of everything. I love making music\, my brain processes music all the time. You cannot imagine the amount of albums and concertos I create during my sleep. The challenge is more how to sort these ideas to keep the ones with the best potential\, the ones that I won’t get bored of\, the ones that I really Love\, with a big letter L.” As you’d expect from such a restlessly evolving and fervidly creative talent\, AMEN is an intrinsically different beast from previous Igorrr releases\, in terms of both the end result and the process that made it. A huge leap forward for the future of the project came with the completion of Gautier’s DIY custom-built working space: “After three years of hands in the dust building my personal recording studio\, I could finally apply no technical limitation on my obsession for the perfect sound\, I could unleash my madness and spend days and nights in the studio without restriction. I actually went way deeper on ideas on this album.” Once again\, assisting Gautier in bringing his extraordinary\, iconoclastic ideas to life are an exciting cross-section of new musical guests: “The musicians here on AMEN are incredible\, the musicianship is just crazy\,” Gautier enthuses. “Also some of the guests I’m personally very happy and pleased to have welcomed on this record\, like Scott Ian and Trey Spruance for example.”\nMr Spruance’s main band Mr Bungle has long been a savvy comparison for Igorrr’s ethos of tightly controlled musical anarchy and gleeful boundary-smashing intensity\, the Californian loons another motivating force for the young Gautier. Like Mr Bungle\, Igorrr stubbornly repels the sort of generic pigeonholing that certain media and fans love to indulge in. Asked if he’s yet found any musical descriptors that he’s happy with\, Gautier has a perfect response: “Do you mean a word that describes my music? I didn’t see one\, even through the years. Usually when people ask me what kind of music I do\, my answer is « yes ». That’s the closest I got.” He has a similarly shrewd\, and endearingly heartfelt\, reply to the question about any remaining unfulfilled ambitions\, 20 years into a wholly singular music career. “You know\, just the fact that my very personal vision of the music has such a big impact around the world makes me feel very\, very grateful\, so my ambitions are already fulfilled.”\nIgorrr w/ MASTER BOOT RECORD & Imperial Triumphant\n01/10 – Bordeaux (FR) – Le Rocher de Palmer\n02/10 – Toulouse (FR) – Le Bikini\n03/10 – Bilbao (SP) – Santana 27\n04/10 – Barcelona (SP) – Apollo 1\n05/10 – Madrid (SP) – La Riviera\n07/10 – Istres (FR) – L’Usine\n08/10 – Lausanne (CH) – Les Docks\n09/10 – Frankfurt (DE) – Batschkapp\n10/10 – Nijmegen (NL) – Soulcrusher Festival\n11/10 – Brussels (BE) – Ancienne Belgique\n12/10 – Cologne (DE) – Live Music Hall\n14/10 – Hamburg (DE) – Markthalle\n15/10 – Nancy (FR) – Nancy Jazz Pulsation\n16/10 – Lyon (FR) – Le Transbordeur\n17/10 – Paris (FR) – L’Olympia\n19/10 – Nantes (FR) – Stereolux\n21/10 – Bristol (UK) – Prospect Building Crane\n22/10 – London (UK) – Shepherd’s Bush Empire\n23/10 – Manchester (UK) – O2 Ritz \n\n \n\nSecret Chiefs 3\n\n\n \n\nViolent Magic Orchestra

SUMMARY:Jackyl
DESCRIPTION:Jesse James Dupree – Vocals & Guitar \nJeff Worley – Guitar \nChris Worley – Percussion \nRoman Glick – Bass \nOn August 11\, 1992\, Jackyl released their debut album on Geffen Records. It was the middle of Grunge\, but Jackyl’s loud\, proud and unapologetic rock songs\, produced by Brendan O’Brien (Stone Temple Pilots\, AC/DC)\, earned the LP double-platinum status. (And helped land the band a scene-stealing spot on Woodstock ’94.) Videos for the singles “The Lumberjack” (with Jesse James Dupree performing his iconic chainsaw solo)\, “I Stand Alone\,” “Down On Me\,” “Dirty Little Mind\,” “When Will It Rain” and “Back Off Brother” earned rave reviews and rabid fans for the band’s no-holds-barred energy and lyrics.   \nOn August 11\, 2022—30 years to the day of Jackyl’s debut—the lineup plays Sturgis\, South Dakota’s Full Throttle Saloon\, in a raucous celebration of the lineup’s 30th anniversary that also marks the debut of the quartet’s brand-new album\, Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot and first single\, “Get All Up In It.” \n“Jeff\, Chris and Roman coming down on the ‘one’ together is still a force of nature\,” says Dupree. “Thirty years together and I feel we’ve found an honest place about our new music\, our fans and us as a band\, on and offstage.” \nJackyl 30 Coming In Hot\, which also includes the new tunes “Bad Decision” and “Another Round (Coming in Hot)” is only the latest highpoint of the Southern-bred band’s career. From the get-go\, Jackyl were unafraid to stand up for free speech; their “I Stand Alone” video featured the band performing in front of a K-Mart as a protest for the store refusing to sell their album.  Other bold moves? Dupree entered a Longhorn Steakhouse with a chainsaw to “surprise” a group of influential radio programmers. That generated a class-action lawsuit that reportedly cost the band more than $1 million. \nBut the ever-growing legion of fans loved Jackyl’s songs and antics\, helping 1994’s Push Comes to Shove album go platinum\, thanks in part to the singles “Push Comes to Shove” and “Headed for Destruction.” 1993 saw “Mental *@%.!” featured on The Beavis & Butt-head Experience\, a compilation album of songs tied in with MTV’s hit cartoon series; it was eventually certified triple platinum. \nHitting the road non-stop\, Jackyl’s tour mates in those early days included Aerosmith\, KISS\, ZZ Top\, Ted Nugent and Damn Yankees. One of the biggest audiences? Jackyl’s performance at Woodstock 94. The appearance made national news and featured on late night shows\, including Late Night with David Letterman. The double-album Woodstock 94 went platinum and included “Headed For Destruction” (a track from Push Comes To Shove). \nAnother groundbreaking musical moment came in 1996. Jackyl followed A&R legend John Kalodner (who had signed them to Geffen) to Sony Music’s Epic Records. The resultant record\, 1997’s Cut the Crap was produced by Mike Fraser (AC/DC\, Metallica) and mixed by Kevin Shirley (silverchair\, Aerosmith). The rock radio hit “Locked and Loaded” included guest vocals by AC/DC’s Brian Johnson. It was the first time Johnson had recorded with any artist but AC/DC since joining the band 17 years earlier. \nA collection of B-sides titled Stayin’ Alive appeared on Shimmering Tone Records in 1998\, but the biggest highlight of the year was Geffen’s release of the best-of collection Choice Cuts and the related promotional events Jackyl did to promote it. Always reaching higher\, in 1998 Jackyl set not one but two Guinness World Records by playing 100 shows in 50 days…. and 21 shows in 24 hours. The daytime sets were 45 minutes long; the evening gigs were between 90 and 120 minutes of rock mayhem. \nThe band’s 2002 Relentless LP contained the second collaboration with Brian Johnson\, the raucous rocker “Kill the Sunshine.” The following year\, Universal Music/Geffen Records issued a Jackyl volume as part of its acclaimed “20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection” best-of series. In 2004\, the long-awaited Live at the Full Throttle Saloon CD and DVD was released by Sanctuary Records. It was recorded and filmed in the summer of 2003 in Sturgis\, South Dakota\, as part of the legendary annual biker rally. \nIt’s a festival close to the band’s heart\, and from 2009 – 2015 Dupree became one of the lead characters of the hit reality TV show Full Throttle Saloon. Of course\, that didn’t stop Jackyl from touring and recording\, and in 2010 the band released When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide\, which featured DMC from Run-D.M.C. \nIt’s been three decades since Jackyl shot out of Georgia spewing equal parts hard rock\, heavy metal and Southern rock. They’ve never stopped touring or recording\, and with 9.2 million views (and growing) of  “Lumberjack Song” on YouTube\, the quartet are earning rabid new fans daily. The August 2022 release of Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot cements and furthers Jackyl’s no-holds-barred legacy. Or as Dupree\, with his unquenchable energy\, exclaims\, “Thirty years on and we’re still celebrating the fundamentals of rock ‘n’ roll\, so Get All Up In It!” \n  \nDISCOGRAPHY \n1992 Jackyl \n1994 Push Comes to Shove   \n1997 Cut the Crap \n1998 Stayin’ Alive \n2002 Relentless        \n2010 When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide  \n2012 Best in Show \n2016 Rowyco \n2022 Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot

SUMMARY:TAKE ME HOME: THE MUSIC OF JOHN DENVER STARRING JIM CURRY
DESCRIPTION:“Jim Curry was over there sounding like John Denver… I closed my eyes and went back to the times when I worked with John.” \nPete Huttlinger\, Former John Denver Guitarist \nJoin in the fun and take in the joy and hope of a full\, inspired evening of the music of America’s most beloved singer-songwriter. National touring performer Jim Curry will have you clapping your hands and singing along to hit after hit. \n  \nFrom the very first song\, you will know why Jim was cast to be the voice of John Denver in the CBS movie “Take Me Home: The John Denver Story.” Curry was chosen as a key performer in the induction of John Denver into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame show and hosted the official John Denver Estate show—which toured the United States and Australia—due to his pure\, clear voice that effectively delivers the music of John Denver. \n“His voice was clear\, sweet\, and oftentimes brought the audience to tears with its sincerity. What more can you ask for from an artist? Especially one singing the great hits of America’s Troubadour. If you ever get the chance to “hang around” with Jim Curry as he plays the music of the great John Denver\, I highly recommend it.” \nKevin\, Utah Concert Goer

SUMMARY:Hail The Sun w/ A Lot Like Birds\, Shyeye\, Diver
DESCRIPTION:HAIL THE SUN – cut. turn. fade. back bio \nAnybody familiar with Hail The Sun will know there’s always a great deal of meaning beneath the surface. Theirs are songs the probe the very nature of existence\, that strive to find the answers to the fundamental questions that being human raises\, and that don’t flinch away from any form of self-reflection whatsoever. That’s been the case since the band—lead vocalist Donovan Melero\, guitarists Shane Gann and Aric Garcia\, bassist John Stirrat and drummer Allen Casillas—formed in Chico\, CA in 2009\, but which is especially the case on cut. turn. fade. back\, their seventh full-length. Indeed\, even for a band whose album titles veer between being suggestive of something more and existentially profound\, this record truly goes the distance\, encompassing the complete cycle of life with its four monosyllabic words.\n“The album touches on a lot of topics such as military atrocities\, humanitarian crises\, addiction and love being lost\, as well as death\,” says Garcia. “So many of those things are recurring\, and as much as we’d like for things to change and be better and live in a perfect world\, it’s more that things seem to get better for a little bit and then take a turn—and before we know it\, we’re right back where we started.” \nAcross its 11 songs\, cut. turn. fade. back captures the cyclical nature of all those things\, as well as life itself in general. That wasn’t the specific intention when the band began writing the record\, but when Melero started writing lyrics for and to the music\, that’s the overarching theme that began to emerge. 2023’s previous record\, Divine Inner Tension\, had seen Hail The Sun intentionally relinquish creative control to the universe\, and they continued with that mindset on this one as well\, by bending to its whims.\n“For the most part\,” says Melero\, “we’re always living in that mindset of creating our own realities\, doing what we want\, and letting the universe do its thing. I would describe this as another cycle of living in general. Trying to write anything to a theme or concept can be incredibly inhibiting for me\, so we try to tie shit together after the fact. But it also comes from what I call a higher frequency mindset—an elevated purpose of trying to exist knowing we are the universe.” \nAs connected as we are to the universe\, and as much as it exists within us\, the band says it’s important to note that we’re also travelling through it. As such\, it was the things that happened to the band along the way—both on a personal level and on a more universal scale—that manifested themselves as topics on this record. And while the themes on this record certainly straddle a great divide\, there’s one song in particular that carries more weight than most on the personal side of things. In fact\, “Relapse Is A Love Affair” is almost as personal as it gets\, detailing Melero’s inadvertent descent back into addiction. After a bout of kidney stones some two-and-a-half years ago\, the singer began taking his medication too much and too often\, which in turn led him to doing fentanyl.\n“I’m pretty outspoken about my sobriety and how long I’ve been sober\,” the singer says\, “but that shit snuck up on me. And to my surprise\, shortly before my 14 years clean\, I relapsed for about six to eight weeks. But then I got clean again. I flew to Massachusetts and went through withdrawals. I was with my parents and it was a really awful time\, but it inspired that song.”\nJust as 2014’s second album\, Wake\, contained “Anti-Eulogy (I Hope You Stay Dead)”\, a song about an active addiction framed as if addressing a person\, so “Relapse Is A Love Affair” personifies his experience in a similar way.\n“This time\,” he continues\, “I associated it with a love affair. It feels like a lust that’s always around and can always catch me cheating. You never really know when\, but it’s there and it’s up to me to recognize that because it can really catch me off-guard. It felt like a long-lost lover had come back and was like\, ‘Do you remember me? Do you remember how good this was?’ And I had to pull away again for obvious reasons. The chorus\, in particular\, reminded me how quickly I can fall back into that\, because I didn’t recognize the person I was or the things I was doing again.” \nIt’s a viscerally powerful moment among a whole series of viscerally powerful moments. For the first time in their career\, Hail The Sun worked with production outfit Beach Noise\, whose experience is much more steeped in the hip-hop world—most notably\, they worked on a good chunk of Kendrick Lamar’s acclaimed 2022 album\, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. On paper\, it seems like a drastic shift\, but the reality is less dramatic—Garcia actually went to college with a member of Beach Noise\, so they’ve been in each other’s orbits for a while now. Yet at the same time\, Hail The Sun wanted to return to their roots of being a band in a room and jamming live. In order to do so\, they went to Pus Cavern recording studios in Sacramento with Beach Noise in tow to craft the songs that had mostly been written already. So while cut. turn. fade. back doesn’t see the band flip genres or anything\, Beach Noise definitely had an active role in the creation of these songs\, as well as their final product.\n“Typically\, it’s just been the band who writes and works on our songs\,” says Garcia\, “but this time around Beach Noise were in the room offering suggestions here and there. Most of the time they’d let us do our thing\, but when inspiration struck they’d offer suggestions to guide things and let us explore avenues we might not have done otherwise.” \nAnd so\, from the moment the post-hardcore lilt of “The Drooling Class” kicks this record off until the passionate intensity of “War Crimes” brings it to an end in a cacophony that emulates the violent conflicts that inspired it\, cut. turn. fade. back becomes part of the band’s own cycle—re-establishing who they are while simultaneously (but subtly) reshaping their identity. Just listen to the spiteful\, coruscating energy of “There’s No Place In Heaven For Fakes”\, the shapeshifting\, surround-sound production of “Insensitive Tempo” and “Blight”\, and the almost constant crescendo of “I Can Tell By The Scars” and it’s clear that Hail The Sun are as intentional and fervent about their art as they ever have been. The final two tracks on the record—“Rightless Destiny” (a song\, says Meloro\, “about a takeover and how the one thing you can’t touch is people’s spirits or their thoughts”) and “War Crimes”—are both emotional juggernauts\, but they also dial up the album’s overt political overtones\, taking aim at the damaging\, harrowing effects of colonialism and imperialism\, but tied in with deep\, probing questions about destiny and providence. At the same time\, they serve as affirmations about the strength of the human spirit. While Meloro’s own personal example of that is encapsulated in “Relapse Is A Love Affair”\, those last two songs showcase it on a more collective\, universal scale—the underbelly of the iceberg that contains all that profound meaning.\n“It doesn’t matter if people take away the intended message from these songs\,” says Meloro\, “and I’m certainly not going to police it\, but we do\, as always\, want to encourage critical thinking. Fifteen years in\, I love that we’ve been allowed this fan base to speak to. I feel very grateful and fortunate\, and I hope that it keeps carrying us forward continues to be the thing that we can sustain life from.”\nIronically\, given the title and the theme of the record\, this could well be the album that sees them break the cycle for good. \n\n \n\nA Lot Like Birds\n\nOn their latest album\, the band shares: “Everything about DIVISI has been a step into new territory\, but one the universe assured us was in the right direction. We are in a better place than we have ever been: Cory blew us all away when he stepped up to the plate as our front man\, and we gained a new bassist/best friend in Matt Coate. We evolved our style into something we feel represents where we are in our lives\, we upped our production\, and we have a whole new team working with us.” \nA Lot Like Birds’ constant musical evolution and entrancing live shows\, combined with their down-to-earth personalities\, proved to be just the right fit for Equal Vision Records\, who signed the band in 2012. “Signing to Equal Vision used to just be a daydream for most of us\,” explains lead singer Cory Lockwood. “When we were growing up and still playing in previous bands\, Equal Vision was putting out CDs by incredible artists that we admire like Bear vs Shark\, The Fall of Troy and Circa Survive.” \nDIVISI is the band’s second release on the Upstate NY-based independent label\, and the first featuring their brand new line up: Cory Lockwood (vocals)\, Michael Franzino (guitar)\, Ben Wiacek (guitar)\, Matt Coate (bass/vocals)\, and Joe Arrington (drums). The album\, which represents a dramatic shift in sound and a new direction for the band\, was released on May 5th\, 2017. \n\n\n\n \n\nShyeye\n\n\n \n\nDiver

SUMMARY:Phillip Phillips - Let's Go Far Tour
DESCRIPTION:Phillip Phillips\n\n \n\nGrowing up in Leesburg\, Georgia\, Phillips first picked up guitar at age 14 and soon mastered riffs from classic-rock tracks like Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” (mostly by playing along to his family’s karaoke machine). He also took up singing and songwriting as a teenager\, in addition to forming an acoustic band with his older sister and brother-in-law. With encouragement from his family and friends\, he took a break from working in his family’s pawn shop and auditioned for American Idol in summer 2011\, then emerged as the show’s season 11 winner. Premiering the same day he claimed his victory\, his debut single “Home” marked the most successful coronation song of any Idol winner and has since been certified 5x platinum. \nReleased in fall 2012\, Phillips’s first full-length The World from the Side of the Moon debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and quickly went platinum. With Behind the Light following in early 2014\, and featuring the top ten hit “Ranging Fire\,” he’s supported both albums with extensive worldwide touring\, including a 2016 co-headlining run with Matt Nathanson. Increasingly known for his high-energy live shows\, Phillips has also toured with John Mayer\, shared the stage with Bruce Springsteen at the Rock in Rio festival\, and supported the Goo Goo Dolls’ summer 2017 national summer tour.  Phillips will release his new album Collateral on Interscope Records January 19\, 2018. For more information visit www.phillipphillips.com \n\n\nSocial Links\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElias Hix\n\n \n\nElias Hix is a star in the making. At just 18 years old\, the multi-talented musician has already made strides in the industry — all while producing\, performing\, mixing and mastering his entire discography. Growing up on a cattle farm in Spartanburg\, South Carolina\, Elias Hix fell in love with music early on in life. Trained in classical music and stand-up bass\, and shaped by his rural upbringing\, Hix creates music that effortlessly captures these influences. His unique mix of classical skills and small-town roots gives his music an irreplicable\, genuine sound. \nHix released his debut album\, Thinner\, one of the most sonically advanced albums of 2023. The 9-track album features a beautiful blend of country\, indie\, and folk\, top-notch songwriting\, and uniquely sculpted instrumentals.

SUMMARY:Ethan Regan w/ harf.
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Regan is just the troubadour Gen Z needs. He’s had a fair share of significant viral moments\, but he’s also an accomplished and energetic showman on stage\, giving performances I.R.L. that leave a lasting mark. As a songwriter\, he’s both intensely introspective and sharply self-aware\, espousing the importance of self-care with sensitivity. In this respect\, he makes timeless music with a modern mindset. Beyond playing instruments and singing\, this Charlotte native with a restless\, road-worn spirit personally grabs the reins and produces\, mixes\, and masters his own songs. He has tallied nearly 100 million streams\, received critical acclaim\, and captivated sold-out rooms as a proven headliner. Creatively\, he doesn’t follow a formula. You’re just as likely to encounter a breezy chord progression in one of his tunes as you are to hear a rowdy and boisterous horn section or big screen-size strings. Hitting the road\, he shined on bills with Sam Barber and Rainbow Kitten Surprise as well as Chelsea Cutler and Jeremy Zucker. Ethan’s self-produced 2025 EP\, honey honey honey\, saw him gain further traction with “get by” and “spaceman.” In the EP’s wake\, he canvased the country\, headlining his “I Almost Graduated” Tour and releasing the likes of “fool” and “sweet hunger.” Looking forward\, his artistry remains an unapologetic and unfiltered reflection of who he is. You’ll feel like you know him a little better on a series of 2026 singles for Columbia Records and his forthcoming debut album\, “YOUNG REGAN.” \n\n \n\nharf.

SUMMARY:PeelingFlesh w/ Gridiron\, Outta Pocket\, Grounds for Assault
DESCRIPTION:PeelingFlesh is a slamming gangster groove metal band from Oklahoma.\n\n \n\nGridiron\n\nGRIDIRON will go to any extreme and then some. They follow quite possibly the most unpredictable playbook in the game. The band might flood the zone with a corpsepaint-smearing death metal barrage only to double back around for a victory lap narrated by blinged-out and braggadocios bars. Their hybridization of metal\, hardcore\, and hip-hop wouldn’t be out of place at either OZZfest 1997 or Rolling Loud 2027. Born out of a series of COVID-era marathon Call of Duty sessions and their individual experiences\, the guys instantly locked into a creative groove. which led to writing and recording together. Following the Loyalty At All Costs EP [2020] and Worldwide Brotherhood EP [2021]\, they dropped their first full-length\, No Good At Goodbyes [2022]. GRIDIRON continue to smash through walls on their second full-length offering and Blue Grape Music debut\, Poetry From Pain. \n\n\n\n \n\nOutta Pocket\n\n\n \n\nGrounds for Assault

SUMMARY:Iron & Wine w/ Ken Pomeroy
DESCRIPTION:Concert for Cause with Iron & Wine \n \nHen’s Teeth \nRelease Date: February 27th 2026 \n“I’ve always wanted to use that title\,” Sam Beam says of Hen’s Teeth\, his eighth full-length album and his sixth for Sub Pop Records. “I just love it. To me it suggests the impossible. Hen’s teeth do not exist. And that’s what this record felt like: a gift that shouldn’t be there but it is. An impossible thing but it’s real.” \nHen’s Teeth and his previous album\, Light Verse\, are siblings of a sort. They were recorded during the same sessions after a years-long dry spell\, with the same band\, at Waystation studio in Laurel Canyon. “When I’ve been on a writing kick\, and the band can meet me where I’m at\, they push me into something I hadn’t imagined. I’m at a point in my life where spontaneity is a lot more important to me. I don’t have as much to prove as I used to. I’m a lot freer and I love making music more than ever. There are no right or wrong answers. You just pray for your luck and try your best.” \nIn this case prayers were answered and luck struck hard. The musicians cohered so quickly and inspired each other so much that they were often getting songs recorded in just a few takes\, sometimes at the rate of two or three per day. The two albums might therefore be thought of as fraternal twins: they share DNA and complement each other but have distinct identities and are defined as much by their differences as their similarities. \nLight Verse (2024) took its name from a form of poetry that makes heavy use of wordplay\, humor\, and nonsense. Its cover depicts figures in silhouette\, floating or falling through a cyanotype sky. It’s a sweet and airy album\, impressionistic\, at times even flirting with abstraction\, a hearty shaking off of the doom and gloom of the Covid era. Many of the songs are named for ideas or feelings that gesture toward hope amidst uncertainty: “You Never Know\,” “All in Good Time” (a gorgeous duet with Fiona Apple)\, “Cutting It Close\,” “Taken by Surprise.” \nThe world of Hen’s Teeth is earthier\, darker\, more robust and more tactile than that of Light Verse. The songs have titles like “Roses\,” “Robin’s Egg\,” “Dates and Dead People\,” “Singing Saw.” “Run into the one you love forever / Laugh into each other’s empty mouth\,” Beam sings on “Roses\,” the album’s first track. It’s one of several songs in which lovers are depicted as so deeply entwined they physically merge. “Paper and Stone” recalls that “But for the time we fell in two / You’d be me and I’d be you / One crust of bread could fit in our mouths / You’d breathe in and I’d let it out.” And on “In Your Ocean\,” we find Beam “Praying for dry ground / Though I only want to drown / When I find myself swimming in your ocean.” \nThe cover is a portrait of Beam surrounded on all sides by flourishing ferns and other tropical plant life. He is wearing a pin-stripe jacket and holding a massive cluster of grapes\, prodigious beard spilling down his chest. He could be a local harvest god or a gentleman outlaw holed up in a jungle cave. There are white feathers covering his eyes but these somehow do not suggest blindness. Rather they seem to literalize the poetic notion of an artist’s vision taking flight. The whole surreal scene is washed in humid\, spooky red. It’s somewhere between Leonora Carrington and Frida Kahlo\, and the contrast with the cool blue-white palette of Light Verse could not be starker. \n“The experiments in this one were more with genre than with form. For the last couple years one of my go-to’s has been Van Morrisson’s Astral Weeks\, that style where jazz musicians play folk music and it blossoms in different ways than folk musicians are normally interested in doing. ‘Singing Saw’ feels like a song that Doc Boggs and Simon & Garfunkel might have done together. ‘Roses’ and ‘In Your Ocean’ are straight forward folk rock\, but they build to these apocalyptic endings. ‘Dates and Dead People’ and ‘Defiance\, Ohio’ take a lot from Tropicalia\, which is some of my favorite music too. I don’t see it as that much different from jazz. All these forms have been in rock music forever.” \nAbout the players: David Garza on guitar\, Sebastian Steinberg on bass\, and Tyler Chester on keyboards. Griffin Goldsmith\, Beth Goodfellow\, and Kyle Crane all play drums. Paul Cartwright plays violin and mandolin among other stringed instruments; he also handled string arrangements for both records. The indie-country trio I’m With Her appears on the ebullient lead single\, “Robin’s Egg\,” and again on the tender\, mournful “Wait Up.” \n“I’m obsessed with duets\,” Beam says. “Ever since I did Love Letter to Fire with Jesca Hoop. I just love the form. It’s inherently dramatic. And it’s so fun. I had these songs and I finished them with I’m With Her in mind.” Arden Beam—Beam’s daughter—contributes harmonies and backing vocals onthe tracks “Roses\,” “Singing Saw\,” “Defiance\, Ohio” and “Grace Notes.” Her contributions lend a personal poignancy\, as well as a wonderful sonic texture\, to Hen’s Teeth. Born two months before the release of his debut album\, The Creek Drank the Cradle (2002)\, she is now 23 years old and a musician herself—the first of his children to appear on one of his records. \n“It’s exciting\, making it more of a family affair. I like making Iron and Wine records\, but I like the collaboration even more. Interacting with a bunch of friends and being blown away by what they can bring\, musically and emotionally\, to a set of three chords. I get to play all day with these people I love and they respond by giving me their most vulnerable\, expressive self. It’s the weirdest\, best job ever.” \nBy Justin Taylor \n\n \n\nKen Pomeroy\nKen Pomeroy will break your heart. She’ll do it with a single line––sometimes\, just one word. The pain begins as an empathetic ache. Then\, as Pomeroy sings her stories\, you begin to see yourself in her hurt and hope. And you realize: We’re in this together.\nPomeroy’s outstretched hand to the wounded manifests as startlingly good songs. Her soprano is comforting––almost sweet––but perhaps most powerful delivering a devastating line. A deft guitarist\, she opts for beds of rootsy strings that can soothe or haunt. But it’s her writing that really shines and stings.\nRaised in Moore\, Oklahoma\, Pomeroy is Cherokee. Her mamaw gave her the name ᎤᏍᏗᏀᏯᏓᎶᏂᎨᎤᏍᏗᎦ\, which means “Little Wolf with Yellow Hair.” Existing in the intersection of past\, present and future; Pomeroy effortlessly channels the ancestral wisdom of her elders and her lived experience through her lyrical and instrumental composition. Writing as a cathartic release culminated in Pomeroy’s new album\, Cruel Joke\, released May 16\, 2025 on Rounder Records. The 12-track indie-folk collection creates a wild but safe space of Pomeroy’s own––a space that\, like 23-year-old Pomeroy herself\, is brutally honest\, proudly Native American\, and undeniably brilliant.\nPeople have noticed. Pomeroy’s “Wall of Death” made its way onto the Twisters soundtrack\, while Hulu’s Reservation Dogs featured her soul-mining gem\, “Cicadas\,” and The Low Down features Pomeroy performing “Bound to Rain.” Tour dates with Lukas Nelson\, Iron & Wine\, I’m With Her\, American Aquarium\, John Moreland and more have followed along with stops at the Newport Folk Festival and Telluride Bluegrass Festival. “A lot of really cool things are happening\, but it hasn’t set in. I haven’t had time to bask in it\,” Pomeroy says. “Even when I started playing music\, I never thought\, ‘I’m a musician. I chose this life.’ I feel like something way above me pointed at me and said\, ‘Okay\, here’s your path.’ And I’ve just been following it kind of blindly ever since.”
