For Immediate Release

Rockabilly Queen LINDA GAIL LEWIS Shares Her Most Personal Reflections On Her Brother JERRY LEE LEWIS’s Passing In A New Single, Announces New Studio Album!

Los Angeles, CA – Linda Gail Lewis, a veteran of the music scene and genuine rock royalty, is proud to announce her newest full-length studio album, Rockabilly Queen, set for release on July 26. Produced by rockabilly guitar icon Danny B. Harvey, the album contains a mix of original material written by Lewis as well as several hand-picked classics that Lewis and Harvey, along with Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom, deftly transform into fresh and exciting tracks.

One of the most poignant and powerful songs on the album, however, is Lewis’s heartfelt, emotional remembrance of her brother, rock legend Jerry Lee Lewis, who passed away in 2022. The song is called “I Knew That You Were Leaving,” and Linda’s story of how it came to be is deeply moving.

I woke up one morning, and while still half asleep, a terrible feeling came over me because I remembered that my big brother, Jerry Lee Lewis, was no longer with me. It had been about a year since he’d passed away and as I was thinking about how I wished I could just go see him one more time and this song came to me from out of nowhere. I immediately went to my piano to document it but every time I tried to sing it aloud I would start sobbing. It took many attempts to get the demo recorded. Even months later when I recorded this final version in the studio I’d have to stop singing at times because I’d start crying uncontrollably when thinking of all the good times we had together over the years.

There are many people who miss my brother Jerry Lee, and also many folks that miss their own departed family members as much as I miss my brother. I hope they all find comfort from my new single and video, “I Knew That You Were Leaving,” and realize we’re not alone.

This song accurately expresses how I feel about losing my brother and also how I felt when I first realized he was leaving us. This is my heartfelt personal tribute and my eternal memorial to the greatest big brother a girl could have, and one of the greatest talents to have ever lived.

Jerry Lee Lewis, I miss you dearly and constantly wish you were still here with me.  I’ll love you always, your sister, Linda Gail Lewis.

ZERO ONE ZERO Kicks Off “No Bull, Just Rock!” Campaign With The First Single “You Knock Me Out” From Forthcoming Deko Entertainment Release Traces Of Yesterday

Stockton, NJ – Blending a style of the past with the sound of today, “You Knock Me Out” is certain to help the resurgence of Rock & Roll march forward. Connecticut-based Hard-Rock band and Deko Entertainment artist ZERO ONE ZERO has just released “You Knock Me Out” from their forthcoming album Traces Of Yesterday that drops on August 23rd. Drawing on personal experiences, this song is sure to resonate with anyone who has a deep passion for someone or something close to them.

Listen here: https://push.fm/ps/ykmo

“You Knock Me Out” is one of 10 tracks from their forthcoming Deko release, Traces Of Yesterday. Produced by Grammy-winner Paul Nelson (Johnny Winter), the song showcases Rob’s soulful yet crushing vocal style along with the tightness, dynamics and hard-hitting you would expect from the veteran musicians that are ZERO ONE ZERO.

As the band states, “‘You Knock Me Out’ is a song about anyone or anything that turns you on. Embrace the theme and make it your own. We hope it will be your cruzin’ sing-along of the Summer.” ZERO ONE ZERO’s ‘retro-aggressive’ style is the culmination of the members’ similar musical interests and their different and very diverse personal influences. “It is what makes our songs stand out and fill a void in today’s current music trends.”

Traces Of Yesterday will be available on CD and limited-edition vinyl. Pre-order your copy now: https://bit.ly/ZeroOneZero

Symphonic Rock Pioneers Renaissance Featuring Annie Haslam Will Perform Their ‘In Gratitude’ Farewell Tour Fall 2024!

For Immediate Release

Symphonic Rock Pioneers Renaissance Featuring Annie Haslam Will Perform Their ‘In Gratitude’ Farewell Tour Fall 2024!

Renaissance, the legendary symphonic rock band featuring Annie Haslam, will be back in the US playing select dates from October 17th through October 31st. This will mark 54 years since the formation of the band and its 16th consecutive year of touring since its reactivation in 2009.

Renaissance leader and vocalist Annie Haslam remarked that “We are very proud but sad to announce our ‘In Gratitude’ Farewell Tour. Where did the time go? Looking back over the years, I believe we have made history in the worlds of Progressive and Symphonic Rock.”

The upcoming shows will include stunning arrangements of “Ocean Gypsy,” “Northern Lights,” “Forever Changing,” “Mother Russia,” “Carpet of the Sun,” “Ashes are Burning” and other favorite classics. Ms. Haslam will be joined on stage by long-time musical associate Rave Tesar on piano, along with Mark Lambert on guitars/vocals, Geoffrey Langley on keyboards/vocals, Frank Pagano on drums, percussion/vocals, and John Galgano on bass.

Annie Haslam noted that “Performing with Renaissance since 1971 has been my whole life. I still love singing these unique, surreal, dramatic and romantic songs and pairing up with some of the finest orchestras in the world. All of this was born from the music of Michael Dunford, John Tout, Terry Sullivan and Jon Camp combined with the emotional and poetic words of Betty Thatcher. Our music has filled the hearts and minds of many thousands of fans around the world. It started for me, with a dream from my childhood that ended in this miracle called Renaissance! Rave Tesar, is an extraordinary man and musician I have worked with in my solo band since 1989 and with Renaissance since 2009. He has also been a very big help in keeping the band ‘alive’! Some very talented musicians have stepped into our band, and their devotion and hard work have added to the band’s touring longevity and personality.”

Renaissance is a band with a rich history unique unto themselves as progressive rock pioneers who rose from the ashes of the seminal UK rock band, The Yardbirds. Acclaimed for their unique blending of progressive rock with classical and symphonic influences, the band’s career has spanned fifty plus years spearheaded by the 5-octave voice of Annie Haslam and the masterful songwriting skills of Michael Dunford, John Tout, Jon Camp and Terry Sullivan. They are widely considered to be the band that most successfully and routinely utilized the sound of a full orchestra in their recordings.

The band has toured throughout the world and has performed at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and at the Royal Albert Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Chorale Society. Renaissance had a top ten hit in the UK with their song “Northern Lights” that still demands airplay to this day.

Hey, but someone has to try oddball things, don’t they? Might as well be me…” – Ian Anderson


Ian Anderson performing in Brighton in 2014, photo by Martin Webb

Ian Anderson’s mind as a listener, which would mature into a lifetime of format-blurring creative ingenuity, was opened when he was a mere six-year-old. By then, already relocated with his family from his birthplace in Dunfermline to Edinburgh, he heard an old family 78 rpm disc of Glenn Miller and his Orchestra’s irresistible gem of 1939, “In The Mood”.

My father had a few treasured wartime records, mostly big-band stuff,” he told Prog magazine. “I remember having an epiphany, because ‘In The Mood’ introduces you to the elements of blues, effectively. That was my first moment of thinking: ‘Hmm, this music is something special.’”

A word from Ian Anderson on “8314 Boxed”:
Since 1983, I have made a few solo albums, not as dissatisfaction with fellow musicians or the group identity but usually just to try something a bit different, whether sonically, stylistically or in terms of instrumental line-up. These records all stand out for me as being quite different from each other and in some ways demonstrate a broader depth of my songwriting. The flute instrumental Divinities record is one of my favourites to this day”.

8314 Boxed” will be released on Madfish on 23rd August. Pre-order: https://iananderson.lnk.to/8314

Legendary UFO Vocalist PHIL MOGG Announces New Hard Rock Project MOGGS MOTEL, Shares First Single “APPLE PIE” & Video!

For Immediate Release

Legendary UFO Vocalist PHIL MOGG Announces New Hard Rock Project MOGGS MOTEL, Shares First Single “APPLE PIE” & Video!

Los Angeles, CA – For the last 50+ years, Phil Mogg has had one job: frontman for one of the greatest rock bands to ever grace the stage, the kings of British classic rock, UFO! That job has taken the London-born singer to just about every country on Earth, performing before hundreds of thousands of fans and riding the highs of chart success with singles such as “Doctor Doctor,” “Lights Out,” and “Only You Can Rock Me.”

Now, at an age when most artists would be hanging it up, Mogg has just announced the launching of a brand new venture, Moggs Motel, and a new full-length album to mark the next chapter in the historic career of this British superstar. Moggs Motel is everything a Phil Mogg and UFO fan could hope for in a new album: stellar songwriting, slick production, courtesy of bassist Tony Newtown, and unmatched musicianship, including guitar from UFO alumni Neil Carter alongside guitarist Tommy Gentry and drummer Joe Lazarus!

For proof, just check out the album’s first single, a dynamic blast of pure rock fury, complete with harmonizing guitar solos and heavy atmospherics. At the center of it all remains that unmistakable Mogg voice, a powerhouse of passion and melody that pushes its way to the front of the track. The accompanying music video makes it abundantly clear that Mogg is far from ready to call it quits as an artist.

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/F0qBK0GbGHY

Stream/download the single: https://orcd.co/moggsmotel_applepiena

Mogg himself declares, “‘Apple Pie’ is the first track off the Moggs Motel extravaganza. It concerns the quest for a piece of the pie, namely ‘Apple’ because I would like a nice large creamy slice this time around. This track was conjured up towards the end of the COVID lockdown. This was our first get together as a team, and a very jolly affair it was too – so enjoy the ride and get a bite… not a nibble please.”

Moggs Motel is set for release on all formats starting September 6. Order your copy today!

Americana Pop-Rock Ensemble The Mystic Twangers Announce New Album “Time Slips Away”

For Immediate Release

Americana Pop-Rock Ensemble The Mystic Twangers Announce New Album “Time Slips Away”

New York, New York — The Mystic Twangers, a genre-defying Americana pop-rock collaboration, is thrilled to announce their fifth studio album due to release on July 1st, 2024 on all streaming services. The new collection of 13 tracks weaves together a selection of heartfelt ballads, progressive folk, country pop and high energy rock, that take listeners on an eclectic musical journey.

“Time Slips Away” derives its name from its title track, a poignant reflection on the passage of time and embracing every moment. The album showcases the band’s versatility, seamlessly blending its Americana influences. “Time Slips Away” explores the ebb and flow of life, as songwriter A.G. Twanger delves into moments of joy, heartache, and resilience; creating a tapestry of emotions that universally resonate. “Time Slips Away” is an introspective journey that captures life’s timeless moments.

Still somewhat undiscovered by mainstream audiences, Twanger is a prolific songwriter and performer. His musical journey spans genres, from traditional blues and country to roots reggae and rock. Previously, he released four albums under both his solo moniker and the Mystic Twangers. A.G. Twanger’s true magic lies in his ability to create unforgettable musical moments. His verses resonate with raw emotion, his hooks linger in your mind long after the song ends, and his choruses ignite a collective passion among listeners. When asked about his songwriting approach, A.G. Twanger says, “Writing songs comes naturally. I sit down and think about the world around us, I think about where we’ve been and where we’re going. I think about my family and friends. I think about the happiness and pain we all go through, and then I let the music write itself.”

The album was expertly produced by Rob Friedman, a pre-eminent multi-instrumentalist, engineer, arranger, and songwriter who has been instrumental in producing Grammy winning recordings. Rob’s collaborations with renowned artists such as Dan Zanes, Lou Reed, Sheryl Crow, Natalie Merchant, Bob Weir & Phil Lesh, Suzanne Vega, Philip Glass, Jackson Browne and many others, have left an indelible mark on the music industry. His production and instrumental contributions and collaboration with A.G. Twanger are evident throughout, elevating the songs to new heights.

For Immediate Release

Veteran Punk Rock Bands Join Forces For The First Ever Punk Rock Tribute To THE ROLLING STONES, Scottish Legends SKIDS Release “WILD HORSES!”

Features Fear, UK Subs, Dead Boys, The Members, The Vibrators, Anti-Nowhere League, Jah Wobble & Jon Klein, Flamin’ Groovies and more!”

Los Angeles, CA – Hot on the heels of the wildly successful Punk Floyd – A Tribute To Pink Floyd and High Voltage Punk – A Tribute to AC/DC comes this punk rock salute to the biggest rock band on the planet, The Rolling Stones! Punk Me Up – A Tribute to The Rolling Stones is a unique compilation that features several veteran punk rock bands, renowned for their high-energy performances and rebellious spirit, delivering their own renditions of well-known Rolling Stones songs. Ever wondered what Fear’s take on “Honky Tonk Women” would sound like or The Vibrators’ version of “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”? Well, wonder no more!

Punk Me Up showcases the raw power and unbridled energy of punk rock, breathing new life into classic rock radio staples. Just check out Skids’ superb reimagining of the Jagger/Richards countrified ballad “Wild Horses.” The Scottish punk rock kings amp up the song’s dormant, unbridled energy with razor sharp guitar riffs and anthemic voices that transform the ballad into a fist-pumping blast of pure emotion.

Skids frontman Richard Jobson declares “I loved the idea of taking an iconic Stones track and giving it a punch in the guts. What was once a favourite ballad of mine will never ever sound the same again!”
