Featured Up and Coming Artists:

The Damn Truth:

 

Celebrated Canadian blues rock band The Damn Truth have released an exciting new single today entitled “Love Outta Luck.”

 

Produced by the legendary Bob Rock (Metallica, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Skid Row), at Bryan Adams’ studio “The Warehouse” in Vancouver, “Love Outta Luck” is the second single from the Montreal four-piece’s upcoming self-titled album released during the first quarter of 2025.

 

The Damn Truth undertake a nationwide tour of their native Canada from September to November, followed by a UK tour from November 24th until December 1st.

Dan Byrne - Blues - Rock - UK

Dan Byrne:

‘Death of Me’ is lifted from his highly-praised debut E.P, ‘Beginnings’, and is another finely polished hard rocker, big on drama and loaded with emotional charge. From brooding verse to soaring chorus, it showcases the power, soul and range of one of the UK’s most dynamic new rock voices

Produced by David Radahd-Jones, ‘Death Of Me’ - along with the rest of the material on ‘Beginnings’ E.P - was entirely self-penned and largely recorded by Dan himself, showcasing what a truly exceptional all-rounder the Liverpool-based singer/songwriter is.

Lions In The Street:

Canadian rockers Lions in the Street release their new single “Moving Along” on Friday 16 August 2024. If you are fans of vintage Rolling Stones and Black Crowes, you’re in for a treat. The song features an unforgettable mix of rock and blues.

 

LITS’ upcoming album Moving Along captures their trademark swing and swagger. The title track, mixed by Rick Parker (Beck, BRMC, Scott Weiland), is a menacing, harmonica-driven vamp "worthy of Mick and Keith at their sticky fingered best" (Jambase.com).  “Moving Along” is also the lead track in the upcoming Paramount film “Cassino In Ischia”, starring Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell.

 

Never to rest on their laurels, Lions in the Street are also putting the finishing touches on a live album and a record they made with multi-Grammy-Award winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons). 

Lions In The Street - Band - Canada
CobraKill - Band - Germany

CobraKill:

German Hard 'n Heavy metal band CobraKill have unleashed their new single “Party Like Hell”, out today via Frontiers Music Srl.

 

CobraKill's rise to prominence has been marked by electrifying performances and meticulously crafted songs. Fans attending their shows often describe the experience as magical, with many likening the atmosphere to witnessing the young Mötley Crüe commanding the stage. 

 

The band's debut album, “Cobratör”, released in 2022, achieved remarkable success, selling out its physical format within weeks—a testament to the band's rapid ascent in the music scene. The release was followed by their incredible second album “Serpent's Kiss”, out on January 19th, 2024.

 

CobraKill's music seamlessly blends metal, rock, sleaze, and glam, creating a sonic landscape that not only pays homage to the glory days of hair metal in the '80s but also asserts the enduring vitality of rock n' roll in 2024.

Trucker Diablo:

Northern Ireland’s Trucker Diablo return with a bang, their latest single ‘Show Me The Way’ is out now, September 6th.

 

It’s called Show Me The Way, and it’s taken from their upcoming new album Social Hand Grenade which is released on October 25th.

Trucker Diablo - Band - Northern Ireland
Fahran - Band - UK

Fahran:

Fahran set to release their eagerly anticipated new album, "The Hope That Killed Me," on October 4, 2024. Following the recent releases of new singles "Hate Me", "Godless" and "Sever The Ties" the band have released their fourth single "Who Created Me".

 

"Who Created Me" continues the darker, heavier tone showcased in the upcoming album. The story of Who Created Me is based on the life of a real-life UK prisoner and how their traumatic upbringing has led to the catastrophic actions throughout their existence. A dynamic piece of music which includes haunting verses, a powerhouse chorus followed by crushing riffs and vocals during the breakdown, topped off with a tasteful guitar solo. This shows Fahran at their best.

Juliet's Not Dead:

Juliet's Not Dead release their new high energy rocker, 'Thrillseekers' on 30th August, the first track from upcoming album which is set for release early 2025. Durham’s Twister have formally announced a name change to Juliet’s Not Dead, and head out on a UK tour this Autumn under their new moniker, which will see them include their first new music since their 2022 EP, Only The Strong Survive.

 

The band have paired with mercury prize & Grammy nominated producer Romesh Dodangoda to set about crafting something special. Since the release tour for single ‘Don’t Play Nice’ in April 2022, JND have been crushing live performances with a truly unique visual show built in to a wall of Marshall cabs. 

Juliet's Not Dead - Band - UK
Voodoo Circle - Band - Germany

Voodoo Circle:

German hard- and classic rock act Voodoo Circle has announced the release of its forthcoming, seventh studio album, entitled "Hail To The King", due out on November 15th via AFM Records. The first single ‘Let It Rock’ is a taster of what’s to come.

Every album has its own history, and this one not only tells of Voodoo Circle and its musicians, but also – indirectly, of course – of Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Rainbow and Led Zeppelin. Without trying to disguise their influences, Voodoo Circle consciously follow in the footsteps of these iconic acts and their great international status. Their upcoming album "Hail To The King" doesn’t even try to hide the obvious source of inspiration that spawned the twelve tracks on the recording, but presents with pride, bravura and impressive stylistic confidence the brand of timeless hard rock coined by those groups.
