The single Bedroom Posters is for anyone who holds memories to their hometown near and dear.

BAD WOLVES
Platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio-charting BAD WOLVES will release a special deluxe edition of their album DIE ABOUT IT on September 19. The release will contain nine new tracks, including a rebooted Say It Again featuring Lauri Ylönen, frontman of The Rasmus, the 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking Finnish rock outfit.
Bad Wolves drummer and founder, John Boecklin, shared about the track: “This song has always meant a lot to me—I’ve always loved it—but I never expected it to evolve the way it did with The Rasmus. In my opinion, it’s some of the best lyricism on the album, and I’m really glad it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves. It’s truly some of our best work.”
“This song hit me hard and energized me,” says Ylönen. “It used to be one of my top workout songs before I got to sing on it!”
DIE ABOUT IT DELUXE. Pre-orders available HERE.
NOTHING MORE
Grammy-nominated rock outfit NOTHING MORE have caused quite a stir about their latest video, EXISTENTIAL DREAD, before it was even officially released. For the video, the boundary-pushing band partnered with AI director/editor Jurassic Smoothie. After only a teaser trailer was shared (Friday, August 15), a debate online about the use of AI to create music videos and art was quickly sparked. The next day, singer Jonny Hawkins spoke with RockFeed to personally share his thoughts.
The release of EXISTENTIAL DREAD comes on the heels of the band earning their fourth #1, from the CARNAL album, on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase Active Rock charts with FREEFALL (feat. Chris Daughtry).” A new version of the bracing FREEFALL, featuring 6x Platinum-certified rock artist Chris Daughtry, has also been released. The FREEFALL video movingly tells the story about a firefighter who is struggling with his mental health and unexpectedly finds a new life-direction after making a chance connection with a homeless dog.
DELUXE VERSION OF CARNAL AVAILABLE HERE
FINGER ELEVEN
FINGER ELEVEN, one of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time, are experiencing a vibrant, full-circle moment. The multi-platinum Juno Award-winning group—Scott Anderson (vocals), James Black (lead guitar, backing vocals), Rick Jackett (rhythm guitar), Sean Anderson (bass), Steve Molella (drums)—criss-crossed America last summer with long-time former labelmates Creed, revisiting the summer of ‘99.
That infectious, invigorating energy helped FINGER ELEVEN enthusiastically complete their first new studio album in a decade, LAST NIGHT ON EARTH, primed for a November 7 release.
They released the album’s second single and video, the thunderous Blue Sky Mystery, featuring Richard Patrick from Filter. Vocalist Scott Anderson notes that the chorus had a heavy Black Sabbath vibe, and the band maintained that throughout the song’s evolution, even as the verses underwent a larger transformation. Changes even came in at the eleventh hour of mixing, but they got the song they wanted. He wrote lyrics for Blue Sky Mystery about burrowing into the rabbit hole of a deep obsession.
LAST NIGHT ON EARTH Pre-orders are available now HERE
CORY MARKS
Country rocker CORY MARKS is continuing to forge his own lane with a sound that fearlessly fuses country grit with a hard rock edge. Growing up on legends like Merle Haggard and Ozzy Osbourne, it shows in his raw, high-energy style. His upcoming fourth album, SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2, due out October 3, continues that evolution—led by the dark, stomping track Hangman.
Hangman—highlighted by CORY’s defiant lyrics and potent vocals—is produced once again by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Shania Twain), Kile Odell (Nothing More, Nita Strauss) and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), MARKS’ SORRY FOR NOTHING/SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 era bridges honky-tonk heart and rock arena power.

Coming off two red-hot #1 rock tracks—Holy Water (feat Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch) and Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)—THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT now release to radio the Dark Thoughts single from their smash GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY album. Described by frontman Lee Jennings as “a finger snapping anthemic banger,” the mental health-themed song also appears on the newly released four-track DARK THOUGHTS EP along with a version of the song featuring vocals by Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, a new remix of the song, and a live performance of it from the band’s Atlanta, GA hometown of Atlanta alongside the original version.
“We wanted to put together something special and different that we haven’t done for the Coffin Crew,” explains singer Lee Jennings. “The other cool thing about this EP is that we are including the live version that we recorded at our first-ever town hall meeting in Atlanta. This marked our first sold-out show in our hometown.”

THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS
5X Platinum-certified alternative rock mainstays THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS released X’s For Eyes, the second single from their forthcoming album X’s For Eyes out October 3. The guitars hit hard, the melody soars, and the rhythm jumps fast in this riveting song that extends a helping hand to someone who’s living close to the edge. With his signature wide-ranging voice, lead vocalist, guitarist, and founding member Ronnie Winter digs in deep with lyrics like: “Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?/Cause I’m scared you’re gonna die/Take control of your life/Wake up from this bad dream/You could end it all tonight.”
X’s For Eyes is the first full-length album from THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS—vocalist Ronnie Winter, his multi-instrumentalist brother Randy Winter, guitarist Josh Burke, bassist Joey Westwood, drummer John Espy, keyboardist Nadeem Salam, and newest member K Enagonio on vocals.

SOLENCE
Based out of Los Angeles and originally hailing from Sweden, electronic metal group SOLENCE mince no words on their volcanic new single Wish You The Worst. The song is an unapologetic and empowering anthem to be played and sung out loud when “people in your life cut you deep,” says frontman Markus Videsäter. “Some people just want to destroy everything around them…this song is for them.” Sonically, SOLENCE deploy big pop hooks and electro savvy with the heavy yet melodic intensity of trailblazing Swedish metal into a distinctive international sound equal parts hypnotic and uplifting.
Wish You The Worst marks the third single from the band’s upcoming fifth album, ANGELS CALLING, out October 3. “I felt there was one more spot on the album for a real ‘f**k you anthem,’” Markus adds, “and in a session with our friend Jimmy, we wrote Wish You The Worst!”
Pre-orders for ANGELS CALLING are available HERE.
