SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 27, 2013 - Of Mice & Men today announced that their third studio album Restoring Force will be released on January 28th on Rise Records. The album is the follow up to the band's 2011's acclaimed release The Flood, which solidified the California-based five-piece as a leading force in modern heavy music. Restoring Force was recorded at House of Loud in New Jersey and produced by David Bendeth (Paramore, Papa Roach, A Day To Remember, Breaking Benjamin). To pre-order Restoring Force now, click HERE.

"What happens after a disaster? What happens after The Flood?" asks the band's frontman Austin Carlile. "You return to normal. You find balance again. That's what we felt like we were doing with this album. We wanted this record to bring equilibrium back to our band and music. We're letting everyone know that we're here to stay. We're Restoring Force."

Today the band also unveiled various Restoring Force pre-order bundles, including limited edition items such as a shell shaped pewter pendant necklace, autographed promotional posters, limited edition colored 12 inch LPs, and more. Visit www.ofmiceandmenofficial.com for more details.

HANK WILLIAMS JR. & MERLE HAGGARD TEAM UP ON CLASSIC TUNE

Country Music Icons release lyric video to support collaboration

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 26, 2013) – Five-time Entertainer of the Year Hank Williams Jr. and Country Music Hall of Fame member Merle Haggard spent some time in the studio recording the 1980 hit song “I Think I'll Just Sit Here and Drink,” for Hank Williams Jr.’s latest studio album Old School New Rules.  You can watch the video here: http://youtu.be/hpD8aehKRtI “Merle is one-of-a-kind,” says Hank Williams Jr.  “His music resonates with fans just like mine does.  Making this song was simple, it maybe took two takes.  Then we spent the rest of the time laughing and telling old road stories. Merle and I are for the everyday working man and that’s something we have in common.” On December 31, 2013, Williams will perform at the fifth annual “Bash on Broadway” in downtown Nashville, Tennessee.  Prior to the show he will receive the 2013 Operation Troop Aid “Patriot Award” for his support of those serving in the military, their families, and his continued Patriotic stance. About Hank Williams Jr. Though he began his career in the shadow of his legendary father, Hank Williams Jr. emerged as a formidable Country singer-songwriter in his own right with 1960s hits such as “It’s All Over But The Crying” and “Cajun Baby.” But things changed with the 1979 release of “Family Tradition,” where he broke the Nashville mainstream by adopting a rebel image and writing/recording in a style incorporating his Blues and Southern Rock influences. The results were staggering as  42 Top-10 hits followed, two CMA Entertainer of the Year honors, three ACM Entertainer of the Year honors, multiple Grammy nominations and a Grammy award for “There’s a Tear in My Beer”, a duet with his father using electronic merging technology. As groundbreaking as Hank Williams Jr. became, it wasn't just his performance that people took note about, but rather his songwriting that became so notable. The driven musician penned hits songs year after year scoring 20 BMI Awards. One of the arguably most-heard Country song of modern times, the four-time Emmy award-winning “Are You Ready For Some Football?,” which was heard nationally as the theme song of ABC and ESPN’s Monday Night Football telecasts, was aired for 21 years. As the accolades kept coming, Williams sold over 55 million albums, achieving gold, platinum, and multi-platinum status along with 13 of those albums hitting the no. 1 spot on the Billboard chart. In 2008, Williams was honored with the BMI Icon award at the 56th annual BMI Country Awards, joining an elite group of past honorees including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Dolly Parton.   # # #

SEVENDUST

LAUNCHES PLEDGEMUSIC CAMPAIGN

TO FUND NEW ACOUSTIC STUDIO ALBUM

SET FOR RELEASE SPRING 2014;

93% OF GOAL REACHED IN FIRST 72 HOURS

 

 

 

November 25, 2013 – It’s the news SEVENDUST fans have been waiting for, and they wasted no time in grabbing the opportunity to personally get involved. 

 

At 9:00 AM PT on Friday, November 22, SEVENDUST launched a PledgeMusic direct-to-fan campaign to help fund the band’s long-awaited and highly-anticipated acoustic album over the course of 130 days. 

 

At 9:00 AM PT on Monday, November 25, the Atlanta band reached 93% their goal with over 1240 pledges.  However, the campaign is far from over, even after they reach their goal.  Plenty of incentives are left, including the basic $10 pledge for an album pre-order and access to exclusive updates from the band as the album is being created, and any additional funds raised will simply be a bonus for the campaign.  Additionally, even though the grandest incentive ($10,000 for a private acoustic concert at a fan’s house) was scooped up the first day, the band decided to add two more of this very special offer.

 

How’d they do it?  Facebook and Twitter.  Not only the band’s official pages, but also the band member’s personal pages, where messages of thanks and excitement from fans were posted within minutes of the launch.  The news quickly spread amongst the Family like wildfire.  SEVENDUST has always said they consider their fans to be part of the SEVENDUST Family, and they’ve certainly proven their love and devotion for the band with the immediate response to the PledgeMusic campaign. 

 

By popular demand, the Atlanta band--Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Morgan Rose (drums/vocals), Clint Lowery (guitar/vocals), John Connolly (guitar/vocals) and Vince Hornsby (bass/vocals)—will enter Architekt Studios in Butler, NJ (where they recorded their current BLACK OUT THE SUN album) in January 2014 to record their highly anticipated and much-talked-about acoustic studio album, which will be released next spring.  It’ll be a collection of brand new songs along with re-recorded SEVENDUST classics. 

 

They asked their fans to be an integral part of the new project.  Not only have they been asking fans for input of which songs to re-record, they partnered with PledgeMusic for a direct-to-fan campaign.  Filled with exclusive incentives for ultimate access to have a hands-on part of the band’s legacy, the campaign is granting fans the opportunity to get a digital download of the album before its available anywhere, exclusive updates during the making of the record, and much more.  Ranging from signed drumheads and guitar picks, to joining the band in the studio for a day, to being included in the album’s liner notes, to autographed guitars used on tour, to a private acoustic show at the house of the most generous donor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for SEVENDUST fans.

 

"We're very excited about the new Sevendust acoustic record,” declares guitarist Clint Lowery.  “Knowing our relationship with the Sevendust Family, releasing it through PledgeMusic and allowing our supporters to be a part of the process is what it's all about.  This type of direct-to-fan project is a perfect fit for us and it will allow a very personal connection between the band and its supporters.  We can't wait to get to work on this record and have the fans join us in this unique process."

 

"We wanted our fans to be involved in the making of this record,” continues drummer Morgan Rose.  “PledgeMusic is a perfect way to share the creative experience with them.  We're really looking forward to it."

 

Portions of the proceeds from the campaign will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which works to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.

 

Details about SEVENDUST’s PledgeMusic campaign can be found at http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/sevendust.

 

“The reason for doing this is that you guys have made us what we are today and we want to involve you in a much deeper way than we have ever before,” says the band in a combined statement on the direct-to-fan page.  “We have been face to face with many of you, and some of you have been to over 50 shows and we have become family.  We want you to have a chance to be a part of this process with us and make this record stand out.”

 

And as the entire band chimes in:

 

Lajon Witherspoon:  “For me, on an acoustic, I’m able to showcase my vocals more.  This is just a little something different, you know, we get off the beaten path every now and then.”

 

Clint Lowery:  “We’ve had a couple of specialty shows where we’ve played acoustic, so that was kind of the first taste of ‘Whoa, we can be heavy, but we can be an acoustic band and the same fanbase will embrace us.’  We have one more month to be out here on tour, we’ve been grinding it out for a long time.  We’re completely putting every bit of our energy into this acoustic record.  We already have these amazing ideas circulating for it.  We want to make a statement with it.  I want to open a whole different door for our band.”

 

John Connolly:  “This will be cool for us, to kind of go in and just focus on just the acoustic side of the band which is something that we’ve been trying to get back around to for eight/nine years now.”

 

Morgan Rose:  “We wanted to do an acoustic run, but we thought we’ve got the time to do it, why don’t we do an acoustic record and actually do five or six, seven random songs acoustically.”

 

Vince Hornsby:  “I hope our fans dig it.  We play the heavy stuff all the time.  It’s good to throw something different in there and change it up a little bit.”

 

It’s not the first time SEVENDUST has explored their acoustic side.  Their critically acclaimed SOUTHSIDE DOUBLE-WIDE live acoustic album was released in 2004.  As All Music Guide had praised:  “Fans should invest readily in SOUTHSIDE DOUBLE-WIDE...SEVENDUST’s famously confrontational sound smolders, and damn it if their sensitive side isn't just as fiery.”

 

SEVENDUST has been on the road since early February in support of their critically acclaimed BLACK OUT THE SUN album, which was released March 26 on the band’s own 7Bros. Records in conjunction with ADA Label Services.  It debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Top Hard Music Albums” chart, as well as #18 on the “Top 200 Albums” chart, #4 on the “Record Label Independent Current Albums” chart, #5 on the “Top Current Rock Albums” chart, #14 on the “Overall Digital Albums” chart and #17 on the “Top Internet Albums” chart. The first single, “Decay,” reached #6 on Billboard’s “Active Rock” chart.  “Picture Perfect” is the latest single from BLACK OUT THE SUN, which has quickly jumped into the Top 25 on Mediabase’s “Active Rock” chart.

About Midnight Red:
United by their intensely pure talent and passion for music of all kinds, Midnight Red’s members hail from all over the U.S.: Joey Diggs, Jr. is a Los Angeles native, Thomas Augusto was raised in rural Texas, Anthony Ladao is from Seattle, Eric Secharia grew up in Burbank, and Colton Rudloff comes from Buffalo, New York. As the second signing to the partnership between Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter RedOne’s 2101 Records and Capitol Music Group, Midnight Red is now teaming up with RedOne (Lady Gaga, U2, J.Lo, Pitbull) to create a debut album that showcases their powerhouse vocals and harnesses the combustible energy of their live show.

Near-lifelong singers and dancers hailing from wildly different backgrounds, Midnight Red saw its inception when Anthony and Eric met through their mutual vocal coach. A star dancer for Monsters of HipHop, Anthony had tried out as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson at age 12, then made it to the final round of auditions only to find he was too young to go on tour. After Anthony connected with Eric (through a vocal coach), the two reached out to Thomas, who soon relocated to L.A. from his rural Texas hometown to join the group. A self-described music obsessive “raised by MTV,” Thomas devoted his high school years to scouting out any opportunity to sing onstage, and had crossed paths with Eric through a singing competition when he was 15. Next, the group tracked down Colton after stumbling across a YouTube video of the aspiring singer/school-chorus star covering Jesse McCartney’s “Leavin.’” To round out the lineup, Midnight Red’s then-manager tapped Joey, another aspiring singer who was attending California State University, Northridge (and whose singer/songwriter father, Joey Diggs Sr., had recorded vocals with the likes of Smokey Robinson, Whitney Houston, and Rod Stewart).

They have scored several multi-platinum albums, including 1991's Metallica (commonly referred to as "The Black Album"), which is the best selling album in history of Soundscan scanning 16 million albums in the United States alone. Their latest album, Death Magnetic, was certified platinum just six weeks after it debuted atop the Billboard Top 200 Album chart in October 2008. Death Magnetic charted at #1 in 32 countries. Metallica have also garnered numerous awards and accolades, including nine Grammy Awards, two American Music Awards, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.  The band recently celebrated its 30th-Anniversary with a week's worth of fan club concerts at the Fillmore Theater in San Francisco, CA. In 2012, they announced the launch of Orion Music + More, an annual two-day festival curated and headlined by the band. Last summer, Metallica unveiled a brand new stage in Mexico City that featured iconic elements that spanned its 30-year career and is featured in the film Metallica Through the Never. They played eight shows to nearly 180,000 fans at the Sports Arena in Mexico City. On June 8th and 9th Metallica hosted the second annual Orion Music + More in Detroit, Michigan at Belle Isle.
