FRANK HANNON – Brand new single “Fool’s Delight”

Leave a comment

The legendary TESLA guitarist has once again tapped into his “singer / songwriter” side with this fun, upbeat Americana sounding song. 

Frank states: “Some songs just come and flow right out of a writer’s mouth when writing them, and this one did just that after an all nighter of partying a few years ago. I woke up hung over and just sang it. Funny thing is after I recorded this version, the recording sat and waited for years to be released until now! My wife always loved the tune and has been on me to put it out so I decided now was the right time. 

I’ll be performing a few shows with the Allman Betts Family Revival later this month paying tribute to the Allman Brothers music. This song definitely shows my southern influences as a writer.” Frank will be a special guest on 3 Florida shows .. Dec 10,12,13 in Fort Piece, Sarasota and Jacksonville. 

The music video for Fool’s Delight was filmed at a live solo acoustic show in Folsom CA at Out Of Bounds brewery location.. home of the Heavy Metal Hippie DIPA as well as on the back of Frank’s Harley Davidson street bob motorcycle. “The song is about enjoying simple things and riding my bike is definitely one of my favorite delights in life. I hope this song and my music provide an escape for people.” 

 Best known as a founding member and lead guitarist of the multi platinum band TESLA, Frank Hannon has always released his own solo music over the years creating a huge catalog of songs that showcase his versatility and adventures as a singer / songwriter in his own right.

Punk rockers Blowfuse show new single and video “Move On”

Leave a comment

New single “Move On” by Blowfuse is out now on SBÄM Records, HFMN Crew, Epidemic Records and Infected Records. 

The message from the band, who filmed the video during a show in their hometown of Barcelona, is clear: “It’s time to #MoveOn. Act now. Stop complaining and feeling sorry for yourselves. Embrace the change.”

Influenced by 80’s and 90’s punk rock waves and the skateboard lifestyle, Blowfuse crafts a style all its own, mixing the agressiveness of hardcore punk, the catchy melodies of 90’s punk rock, the powerful classic rock riffs, with acid and paranoic lyrics.
The new single “Move On” is the first of the new album which will be out in 2024! “Move On is a call to action and change. Its direct message conveys a sense of empowerment and the necessity of freeing oneself from the past to find a new direction in life.”, says singer Oscar Puig. The detrimental habit of complaining and self-pitying won’t do anything but increase frustration. Only by accepting reality and taking responsibility can you navigate towards a new direction.

“Move On” will be out digitally on December 15, being presented by SBÄM, HFMN Crew, Epidemic Records and Infected Records.

FLOYA announce debut album & release new single ‘Drift’

Leave a comment

FLOYA have announced their debut album Yume, due for release on 8th March via Arising Empire. The band have also released a video for their new single ‘Drift’.

Check out the video for ‘Drift’ here: https://youtu.be/2_3E183meUI

Pre-order available here: https://arisingempire.com/yume

‘Drift’ is filled with genre-bending moments and conveys a clear message: do what you love, there’s not enough time for anything else. The duo elevate listeners with powerful, airy synths, Marv’s romantic guitar riffs, and Phil’s unmistakable, angelic voice.

“I don’t think I’ve ever written a song this honest before,” says vocalist Phil. “I’ve grappled with ambivalent emotions toward my career, to be completely transparent. There were moments when I doubted whether I could continue doing what I love. I turned my back on music for a while and, as a result, lost a significant part of my identity. ‘Drift’ is about precisely that: dealing with ambivalence, overcoming doubts, and enabling you to continue doing what you love.”

Hailing from Germany, Marv Wilder and Phil Bayer found common ground by talking about their childhood influences, namely Peter Gabriel, U2 & Sting.

Since the release of their debut single ‘Wonders’ in March 2022, FLOYA have amassed over eight million streams on Spotify alone. Their single ‘The Hymn’ was featured in an official AFL game between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs on Australian television; an impressive achievement for a newly launched act. FLOYA have also received significant airplay from Kerrang! Radio (UK) and Radio Contact (BE).

FLOYA are:

Phil Bayer | vocals

Marv Wilder | guitar
