A Place i Know is a rock band hailing from Ohio. A combination of members from South of Eden and Harmless Habit, this new project has already had an exciting 2024, from releasing their debut single “Good Enough” to playing their first show together at The Summit Music Hall in Columbus.
Now, A Place i Know has posted two new singles, “Home” and “Save Me,” exclusively to YouTube. The songs will be available everywhere next week.
Two dynamic female-fronted bands have recently released new singles. Hard rockers CloZure shared “The Devil Effect” on February 9th, while alt-rock outfit Modern Mimes served up “Roses in Ruins” one week later, on February 16th.
CloZure on the set of the video for “The Devil Effect”
Formed in Enterprise, Alabama, CloZure boasts a take-no-prisoners approach in their latest track, “The Devil Effect.” This is the band’s first release to feature new frontwoman Elizabeth Nikollaj. A song dealing with the emotional topics of betrayal and overcoming the anger and hatred it inspires, “The Devil Effect” showcases the renewed energy with which CloZure entered 2024. Featuring a stunning vocal performance from Elizabeth and some seriously wicked guitar work, the track understandably broke iTunes top alternative chart twice, as well as iTunes rock top 20, and it ranked at #3 on the iTunes metal charts. It also hit #1 on Amazon’s new alt-rock releases and #2 on the alt-rock best seller list.
Modern Mimes, who hail from the depths of Florida, are as velveteen and sultry as the summer nights in their homestate, and their latest single, “Roses in Ruins,” is a testament to that. According to the band, the song is about battling your inner demons, in whatever form they may take, and conquering that which poisons your roots. The track is as dark and heavy as its subject matter, and singer Adi Hernandez’s intonations soar to ever-greater heights, goosebump-inducing in their strength and clarity. “Roses in Ruins” is available for streaming on all major platforms. Modern Mimes also recently welcomed drummer Harley Mitchell to the lineup, so stay tuned for a new era in 2024!

Despite what guitarist Mark Tremonti said in a not-so-long-ago interview, Alter Bridge’s much anticipated seventh album – entitled Pawns & Kings – will not be out in September. The official release date is October 14th.
I’m willing to wait, because I love them and I’m sure the record will be amazing, but… Can we at least get a single soon? Haha. Throw us a bone, guys!!! 😆 I guess we’ll just have to be satisfied with Mark Tremonti’s album of Sinatra covers (out May 27th, in case you didn’t know).
In a recent interview with Niclas Müller-Hansen of RockSverige, Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti said that the band’s seventh studio album should be released in September. He also talked about his daughter, why he wanted to cover Frank Sinatra songs, and briefly explained Alter Bridge’s process in the studio. If you want to read the full interview, you can click here.
Along with this welcome news, Alter Bridge has announced a European tour, entitled the “Pawns & Kings Tour,” set to kick off November 1st in Hamburg. Halestorm and Mammoth WVH will be their two supporting acts. For tickets and VIP info, visit alterbridge.com.
