New Music: Ghost

I missed this being premiered on Sirius XM Octane yesterday, but I heard it this morning (while waiting on another new Tremonti single).

Ghost has a new record, entitled Prequelle, coming out on June 1st of this year. Listen to the first single — “Rats” — and tell me what you think!

New Music: Tremonti

I am so stoked because Tremonti has released their first single from their upcoming album. Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, the title track from A Dying Machine:

New Year, New Music

It is only the fifth day of 2018 and already, we’ve had multiple tracks from some of our favorite bands/artists.

1. Judas Priest: “Lightning Strike”

2. Breaking Benjamin: “Red Cold River”

3. A Perfect Circle: “Disillusioned”

4. Cane Hill: “It Follows”

5. Crashdïet: “We Are the Legion”

This was actually posted on December 30th. Still, I included it because the song is the debut of new singer Gabriel Keyes 🎶

6. Justin Timberlake: “Filthy”

7. Slaves: “Patience is the Virtue”

Obviously this is not a comprehensive list of every single released this week, but it’s a good place to start!

Happy New Year!

Obviously I have already posted, resuming the album of the week, weekly focus, and playlist challenge, but I wanted to jump on and wish you all a Happy New Year as well.

I rang in 2018 with my best friends. We didn’t do anything overly exciting, just drank a little and watched Scream 2 and Scream 3. (I giggled over the Creed poster in Sidney’s room… They were so young!)

More importantly, today was dedicated to football, and lots of it. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a huge Alabama fan. Well, the Crimson Tide made it to the college football playoffs (again), and tonight they played the Clemson Tigers. This was the third matchup in as many years, and this time the good guys won! Alabama is going to the National Championship game (again). Their opponent will be the Georgia Bulldogs! An all SEC title game sounds perfect to me. Even better, Georgia’s coach is a former Nick Saban assistant; we like seeing him do well!

In other news, I’m busy compiling a list of artists/bands that will be releasing albums this year. I hope to have it posted soon. I can tell you now that both Myles Kennedy and Tremonti Project are putting out new music this year, so I’m very excited about that.

I hope y’all are having a great start to 2018!

What I’m Listening To: Myles Kennedy

I’m addicted to all things related to Alter Bridge, in case you didn’t notice. Naturally, that means 2018 is going to be great for me. Myles Kennedy is finally releasing his first (technically second) solo album, entitled Year of the Tiger, in March; and Mark Tremonti’s other band will have a record out at some point next year.

Today, the title track from Myles’s album was released. It is very different from his work with both Alter Bridge and Slash. I love seeing another facet to this artist I admire so much! Check it out and feel free to leave a comment telling me your thoughts!
