Posted on March 10, 2024March 10, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:3 Minute, 55 Second

Thanks for taking some time to chat with From the Green Room

1. What’s the name of the band?

Illusions of Grandeur, the name originated from a time when Maggie was seeking out other musicians to form a band. A lot of the ads said, “No Illusions of Grandeur here” meaning they just wanted to play
music, Maggie thought “Why no Illusions of Grandeur” Life is short go for what you dream and want!

2. Where are you from?

Illusions of Grandeur “I.O.G.”, is a Theatrical Hard Rock/Fantasy Metal band based in York, PA. I.O.G has been touring in both the United States as well as across the UK, Germany, France, and the Ukraine since 2016. I.O.G. have made appearances at various festivals including Sav Fest, Dewey Beach Music Festival and Witney Music Festival. I.O.G. has shared the stage with artists as varied as DOPE, Moto grater, September Mourning, New Year’s Day, Puddle of Mudd, Stryper, República, Stitched up Heart and Otep. I.O.G. &# 39’s Live show The Siren Saga is a story of the journeys, perils, and triumphs of the Siren and her warriors. The story mixes facts and fiction combining Greek and Norse Mythology, Sirens, Gods, Archangels. Illusions of Grandeur’s fierce and energetic live show has gained them a legion of fans dubbed “The Siren Nation” who follow them worldwide, at live shows, and on social media.

3. What type of music do you play?

Theatrical hard rock/metal, the idea of Illusions of Grandeur is to create a world and tell the story of “The Siren” and her journeys. IOG’s love of both history and Greek/Norse Mythology felt that this was the best medium way to create a world for “The Siren Saga.” IOG feels that when listening to music or seeing a live show you should be able to immerse yourself in that moment and take a journey of your own with the band.

4. This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical influences did
you have growing up, and what are some now?

Growing up it was a mix of the “Modern” music of the day, whatever was on the radio, but Illusions of Grandeur’s influences come from many genres of course starting with metal; like Korn, In This Moment, Metallica, Avatar and Evanescence. Each member draws off their individual influences as well which are varied from The Siren’s love of Classic rock like Janis Joplin and heart to CM’s love of The Smiths, Supertramp Soundgarden into Ted’s love of death metal and more. IOG feels this just adds to the sound and allows the band to explore a lot of themes in their music. We still listen to these artists and many, many more.

5. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you naturally?

Music has been a part of my life since I was a child. My dad was a musician and I followed in his footsteps. I’ve always been in music in some capacity; from theatre to chorus and bands.

6. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2023 and beyond into 2024?

Illusions of Grandeur’s The Siren Tour continues through the remainder of 2023 into 2024. IOG are currently while tour producing their 3rd album the next story in The Siren Saga “The Siren Rises” which the band looks to have out in 2024-2025.

7. For someone who wants to know more about the band, were can they find you at? they find your music?
We keep that very simple, go to https://www.iogmusic.com/

8. Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all-time favorite band?

I would have to say Korn, their catalog has been with me what feels like my whole life and the band continues to release solid music and play live, amazing.

9. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would you choose?

That would have to be In This Moment or Korn, both put on amazing shows and have killer catalogs of music, would be a real honor.

Thanks for chatting with me From the Green Room and look forward to chatting again in the future.

LIVING DEAD GIRL Drops Head-Turnng New Single “Ugly” March 15th.

LIVING DEAD GIRL Drops Head-Turning New Single "Ugly” March 15th

Pre-order “Ugly” here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/livingdeadgirl1/ugly

Molly Rennick shares, “I wrote ‘Ugly’ from a place of feeling jaded and exasperated. I know most women are familiar with this exact feeling. ‘Ugly’ is about wanting to be taken seriously and listened to, without being belittled or objectified. There’s so much more to us than what’s on the outside; this song is for everyone who’s ever been made to feel like there isn’t.”

“Living Dead Girl” is, of course, the title of a classic Rob Zombie disco-metal stomper. It’s also the name of a Canadian modern metal project helmed by bandleader and vocalist Molly Rennick, who’s following in the footsteps of ol’ Rob, but with her own distinct twist. Frankensteining together elements of goth, metal, industrial, pop and punk…” – Revolver Magazine

“With a mall goth look and a sound that blends alt-metal and pop, it’s easy to think of Florida-based outfit Living Dead Girl as a sort of American version of Babymetal — or maybe a less avant-garde Poppy. And while there’s certainly that collision of musical genres, this band should absolutely be on your radar if you enjoy either of those bands.” – Metal Sucks

Catch LIVING DEAD GIRL Live:

05.07.24 – Fort Myers, FL @ The Ranch | TICKETS

07.19.24 – Cadott, WI @ RockFest | TICKETS

More dates to be announced soon

About LIVING DEAD GIRL:

Orlando-based female-fronted metal band LIVING DEAD GIRL exploded onto the alternative metal scene with their debut album Exorcism in 2021. Created by vocalist and songwriter Molly Rennick, produced by the critically acclaimed Mitchell Marlow (In This Moment, Papa Roach, All That Remains), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (U2, Nirvana, Metallica), Exorcism has 11 banging tracks including the hit single Alive, which reached the Billboard charts with two weeks at #1 as the most added song on the Mainstream Rock Indicator, and #17 on the Mainstream Rock Indicator Chart. Alive also reached #3 on the Top 10 Greatest Gainers Secondary Market Rock Chart, #10 on SiriusXM Canada’s Indigenous Music Countdown, and #5 on the Top 50 Secondary Market Rock chart! The album’s success has also had the band interviewed by and featured in dozens of world-renowned magazines including Revolver, Hustler, Outburn and more.

Molly Rennick’s bold presence on stage and in videos attracts large audiences around the world, with the band’s YouTube videos in the hundreds of thousands of views, and regular CD and merchandise orders being shipped all around the world from Australia to Japan. An unmentioned fact about Molly is that she was thought to be a stillborn at birth, however survived and grew into the alternative siren she is today, which boasts a powerful and accurate underlying story to the band’s name “Living Dead Girl.” The momentum Living Dead Girl is moving at as a young independent band that released their first album in the middle of a pandemic is unbelievable, until you hear it for yourself. A seamless hybrid of goth, rock, nu metal, pop and punk, Living Dead Girl has distinctly created their own genre that markets to the masses.

In 2023 Living Dead Girl released a covers EP, Not That Innocent, and the Deluxe Edition of Exorcism, played 47 shows and toured with Raven Black and was also a featured artist at the 2023 Canadian Music Week. A 2024 Summer tour is in the works.

Living Dead Girl is a force to be reckoned with, and is, as Underground Nation proclaimed, “the future of heavy music!”

Rick Monroe & The Hitmen Premieres “Worth The Hurt” Music Video on Rock Rage Radio

Rick Monroe & The Hitmen Premieres "Worth The Hurt" Music Video on Rock Rage Radio

Nashville, Tenn. (March 5, 2024) — TLG/Virgin Music Group recording artists Rick Monroe & The Hitmen continue to gather momentum for their latest single “Worth The Hurt” (currently bubbling under at #52 on last week’s SMR chart while maintaining its top-10 standing among the Most Adds of active/mainstream rock in secondary markets). To support its upward climb, the group is pleased to premiere the official music video TODAY exclusively through Rock Rage Radio.

Additionally, “Worth The Hurt” has been made available in Dolby Atmos, a new spacial audio technology that allows you to “hear music like you’ve never heard it before” and deliver the ULTIMATE listening experience for fans and audiophiles to enjoy.

“Even though it adds several steps to the mixing and mastering process, getting the track on Atmos was important to us,” says Monroe.”We wanted fans to know… just like the single says, that they are ‘Worth The Hurt.’ We aren’t doing our work as a band if we aren’t striving to provide the best quality music we can to our fans. That’s our job,” he says.”Now, it’s the fan’s job to go out and give it a listen!”

Co-written by Monroe, Jared Weeks and Scott Wilson of Saving Abel, and multi-Grammy and multi-Dove award-winning producer and composer, Skidd Mills (Skillet, Third Day, Saliva, Katie Arminger), who also produced the track, “Worth The Hurt” is an angsty, uptempo banger that highlights the addictive qualities and unhealthy co-dependence of a love gone wrong.

Stream / download “Worth The Hurt” at https://ffm.to/worththehurt

The single serves as a tantalizing preview of the exceptional content that awaits fans in the group’s highly anticipated, full-length vinyl project, SIX GUN SOUL, scheduled for release on April 12. This album features previously acclaimed singles such as “World’s Gone Crazy” and “God’s Ear”, the latter earning praise from discerning critics like Robert K. Oermann (Music Row) and respected musicians, including Shawn Drover (formerly of Megadeth).

About Rick Monroe & The Hitmen:

World-class entertainers Rick Monroe & The Hitmen have no desire to trace the trail of every trend. Instead, they serve up a “poly-jam-orous” recipe they call “Blue Jean Rock” –artistically organic and spiced with a heavy blend of their musical influences to reflect country sensibilities with a rock and roll beat. As a result, the group has built a solid legion of fans across the globe and recently surpassed over 4.3 MILLION logged views on YouTube and over one MILLION captured streams without the benefit of ever appearing on a core editorial playlist.

Monroe brings his music and a magnetic presence wherever he goes and is no stranger to the stage: he’s performed in 17 countries – and every U.S. state including Washington DC & Puerto Rico. The seven-time Jägermeister Country Brand Ambassador has toured with Queensrӱche, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Lee Bice, Aaron Lewis, Eli Young Band, Pat Green, and Randy Houser, as well as has opened for Country Music Legends like Charlie Daniels Band, Dwight Yoakam, Travis Tritt, Patty Loveless and more. He has entertained the USO, AFE, U.S. troops in Vietnam, and former Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev. His brother called him “Elvis Gump” because of all the amazing people and places his career has led him.

For those unfamiliar with his music, Rick advises them to come to the show for a good time and to be ready for “just about anything.” “I love to play,” the singer notes. “And I want everyone to play along. I like to think of my shows as an interactive sport”–one that he will now play with the help of his permanent bandmates, Bobby Perkins (guitar), Alan Beeler (bass), and Jason Bohl (drums), also known as The Hitmen because “they kill it every single night!”

Rick enjoys sponsorships and endorsements with NOS/Full Throttle energy drink, Number Juan Tequila, Tony Chachare’s® Famous Creole Cuisine, Remington, GHS Strings, SE electronics, Roper Western Wear, Shubb Capos, Speakeasy Original, Westone Audio & Fishman Audio.

Contracult Release New EP ‘The Process’ via Art is War Records!

Contracult Release New EP 'The Process' via Art is War Records!

KEEP. GOTH. HARD.

STREAM The Process

Spotify

Apple Music

Gothic sensation Contracult has just unveiled their latest EP, The Process, now available on all major platforms courtesy of the renowned Art is War Records.

In addition, the band has been added to the lineup for Maneframe Festival that is hosted by Ghostemane.
Tickets are available at https://brutalassault.cz/en/maneframe

This is the all-encompassing motive behind the 2-piece industrial metal band Contracult. Comprised of the scorching stylings of Travis Bacon and Nicholas Emde, the Los Angeles-based goth outfit has become a beacon for dark culture, creating a safe and reliable space for fellow outcasts.

Discussing themes of pain, mental health, kink/BDSM, queerness, and the discontent of artistry in the modern world, Contracult takes pride in offering something different, fresh, and hot to the touch. Having found themselves playing in a metal band dubbed White Widows Pact, Bacon and Emde realized their shared interest in industrial music’s big hooks and fierce guitars.

Although it wasn’t necessarily a popular sound, it fueled their fire. “Be the band you want to hear even if it’s contrary to what’s popular at the time. Be the contrary, contradict, Contracult,” notes the band. Today, Contracult has amassed thousands of monthly listeners across streaming platforms while exploding stages at Welcome to Rockville 2021, Louder Than Life 2021, and Aftershock 2021.

Smashing racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia along the way, Contracult is currently cleaning its slate, releasing a series of remixes on their popularsongs for the rest of 2023. But what should we expect in the new year? A focused, darker, and evolved sound with inspiration from acts like NIN, Fear Factory, Ghostmane, Front Line Assembly, Ministry, Paradise Lost, and Type O Negative.

Vocals/Production: Travis Bacon
Guitar: Nick Emde

Kurt Deimer Releases New Single “Dance” on March 1, 2024; Announces Headline Tour Dates, Featuring Shows Alongside Tesla!

Read Time:6 Minute, 36 Second

Kurt Deimer Releases New Single "Dance" on March 1, 2024; Announces Headline Tour Dates, Featuring Shows Alongside Tesla!

STREAM “DANCE” HERE

Kurt Deimer’s newest single, “Dance,” released today, March 1, 2024, is a testament to resilience and the ability to find inspiration in challenging circumstances. The single is a precursor to his highly anticipated debut album, And So It Begins.., slated for release later this year.

Kurt comments, “I boarded a Southwest flight in January of 2022. It was a last minute flight, and I was crammed against a window for a 4 plus hours. I convinced myself to endure this flight I was gonna to write a killer song.”

He continues, “’Dance’ is about life. It has its ups and downs. Life can be quiet and serene. Then it can be turbulent and stormy. It can create a war within your mind, heart and soul. We all have to teach ourselves to dance through the good and bad in life. Enjoy life. Embrace life, escape negativity before it consumes us. Writing this song helped me escape a bad situation on this flight. I did not let the circumstances consume me. I wrote ‘Dance’ to get me through it.”

Kurt’s resilience in converting a challenging situation into a creative triumph exemplifies the transformative power of music. “Dance” is a reminder to cherish life’s moments and embrace positivity.

In support of the single, Kurt has announced the much-anticipated tour dates set to take center stage in 2024. The tour promises an electrifying musical experience, with Deimer’s solo headline performances and special appearances alongside the legendary band, Tesla.

The tour announcement follows Deimer’s recent successful single release “Doom,” which captivated audiences worldwide with its innovative sound and soul-stirring lyrics. Renowned for his dynamic stage presence and ability to infuse passion into every performance, Kurt Deimer is set to raise the bar yet again with this upcoming tour.

In a world that seems to be spiraling out of control, Kurt Deimer is a man with a very clear mission: Work Hard, Rock Hard, Play hard and Spread positivity. In fact, his mantra could be summed up: “Take the high road, do the right thing, encourage others.” It sounds like a tall order these days in a world full of warring factions. And it’s an unusual mission for a singer/songwriter vocalist whose music could be described as hard rock, even heavy metal – genres that are not always synonymous with positivity.

Deimer, for his part, describes his work as good old fashioned rock and roll. “And it’s as good a vehicle as any for spreading good vibes” he says. “I’m here to encourage others to treat people with respect, dignity and kindness,” he says. “I’ve been through a lot of things in my life and I try to share that with others and be a beacon of hope for my listeners.”

That positivity and perseverance has paid off for the native of Cincinnati, Ohio. He’s not only launched a movie franchise, Hellbilly Hollow, by filming and starring in a feature length horror film of the same name. He’s also recorded more than two dozen songs with legendary producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, James Brown and the Rolling Stones), his management team includes Brian Wheat, manager of TESLA who discovered him while opening for TESLA.

Chris Lord-Alge says he was drawn to Kurt’s originality as an artist. “I saw something completely different in Kurt, and that was the lure for me. He isn’t a typical rock or country artist – I love hearing him talk and narrating a story, and I was drawn to taking those stories and helping turn them into music. He’s a personality, he’s someone you want to talk to.”

Things have not always been positive in Deimer’s world. At age 20, as a young rock vocalist, he found himself in the grips of drug addiction. He later discovered he was using substances to medicate an underlying anxiety condition. At that young age, he quit drugs, got help for his anxiety and never looked back.

He eventually started buying and selling rental properties and used that money to start the first of several successful companies he owns. Despite making his mark in the business world, Deimer didn’t feel ready to settle down and “join the country club and play golf all day” – so at an age when most people start thinking about slowing down, he started to speed up.

Inspired by the artists that helped shape him – Boston, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bob Marley and AC/DC, to name just a few – he started writing song lyrics.

Inspired by his love of movies and acting roles in films including the 2018 ‘Halloween’ remake – where his character was killed by Michael Myers – and John Travolta’s ‘Trading Paint,’ he started hashing out a movie concept that became his eventual Hellbilly Hollow feature film and franchise.

Deimer has supported Geoff Tate on an expansive cross-country tour that highlighted material from his debut EP, that came out on November 19, 2021, which includes a duet with Tate and a trilogy of music videos directed by Scottish filmmaker Paul Boyd [Sting, Deadmau5, The Cult] that spotlight Deimer’s cinematic vision and charismatic presence. Along with many other supporting shows including TESLA, Drowning Pool and Yngwie Malmsteen all this within the first two years of touring.

For Deimer, the inspiration is to make the world a better place one song at a time, singing about the ills of the 21st century and offering solutions instead of excuses. “When people listen to my music, I want to help them decompress and feel better after a brutal day. That’s what music always did for me, and that’s what we need more of today.”

Classic Rock Meets Southern Grunge in New Summer Anthem “As The Light Fades”

Read Time:3 Minute, 27 Second

Classic Rock Meets Southern Grunge In New Summer Anthem “As The Light Fades”

Blacktop Mojo Releases New Single In Anticipation for Their Studio Album “Pollen”

“We wanted a lyric video to go along with “As The Light Fades” that represented the nostalgia of summer times past and how it felt to run wild and free.” – Matt James Lead vocals for Blacktop Mojo

Blacktop Mojo “As The Lights Fade” Official Lyric video

Los Angeles, CA (Friday, March 1st) – Blacktop Mojo releases “As The Light Fades” – a track totally unlike anything they’ve created before, to be followed by a full-length studio album, “Pollen”, on April 5th. “As The Light Fades” is a feel-good anthem and a passionate track that oozes with infectious energy of summer and young love.

Blacktop Mojo’s classic rock influences shine through with powerful guitar riffs, while their infamous ‘Southern grunge’ makes its mark in the vocals and twangy instrumentation.

“As The Light Fades” is a nostalgic look at young infatuation that turns into life-long love, from running inside when the streetlights come on all the way to the last tender kiss shared before crossing into The Great Beyond.” -Matt James, lead vocals for Blacktop Mojo

“As The Light Fades” definitely had all the feel good classic rock n’ roll vibes, a style we hadn’t really touched before in previous albums. We honestly couldn’t be happier with the result, especially after having Rob McNelly, who has played for Bob Segar add some guitar to it.”

– Matt Curtis, bassist for Blacktop Mojo

The origin of the song started in 2021 with a Bob Segar-style melody created by Matt Curtis and Matt James on the porch of their shared ‘band house’. In no time, it progressed into a full-on classic rock n’ roll hit, with additions from Rob McNelley (guitarist for Bob Segar, Dierks Bentley, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, and Luke Combs) himself.

Opening lyrics, “Don’t change the channel don’t turn the page. We’re living in the sunset of a golden age,” demonstrate the talent of writers Matt James and Matt Curtis, while producer Philip Mosley layers in sounds reminiscent of rock influences, along with Blacktop Mojo’s special flare.

With inspirations ranging all the way from Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bill Withers, Stone Temple Pilots, to Bob Seger and Etta James, Blacktop Mojo’s music has elements of heavy rock, grunge, soul, blues, and a little splash of southern twang.

Make sure to catch Blacktop Mojo on tour from April to August, performing shows across the U.S. such as Richmond, Colorado Springs, and Pensacola.

About Blacktop Mojo

Mojo Described as a mix of Soundgarden and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blacktop Mojo incorporates heavy, sludgy, rock mixed with sultry blues. Formed in late 2012 in the small town of Palestine, Texas by vocalist Matt James and drummer Nathan Gillis, Blacktop Mojo has coined the term “Texas Grunge” to describe their one-of-a-kind sound.

A unique blend of sludgy grooves, classic rock guitar riffs, and southern metal shredding sets Blacktop Mojo somewhere between dirty, heavy rock and roll mixed with sensual and carnal blues. Drawing on a multitude of genres and influences such as Alice In Chains, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tool, Bill Withers, Stone Temple Pilots, Bob Seger, to Etta James, Blacktop Mojo combines styles of the past with a modern edge for a totally unique sound that can only be experienced through listening.

After their debut album, “I Am” in 2014, the band stayed around Texas to record another album in 2017, “Burn The Ships”, which caused the guys to quit their day jobs and move into a small house together in Palestine, TX. Since then, the band has kept a relentless recording and touring schedule, filled with boundless creativity that has allowed them to create songs to reach the top 40 on both the Mediabase and Billboard Rock Chart. Catch Blacktop Mojo on tour to catch one of their unforgettable live shows across the U.S. in 2024.

According to band’s statement, the song is ‘about an ordinary loving couple – like you and I, – only they know that the world is about to end. So, they try to make peace with it with some tenderness and secret hope for what many other lovers do – to be able to still find each other once again afterwards, after it all ends’.The music video highlights the narrative of the song’s theme and showcases the band in its natural habitat. It has been made in cooperation with UK-based filmmaker FD-Films.Transport Aerian shared with us, that they are preparing series of intimate, audio-visual shows based on “Skywound” story and are to release a live album in March 2024.

Ellis gives fans another glimpse into That Girl with “Too Much & Not Enough” – watch the official music video HERE.

Caught between a contradiction, Ellis wrestles with public perception on the emotive track she wrote with Emily Weisband and Tofer Brown.Afraid of being one extreme or the other, the rising star reveals her insecurities and expresses her frustrations over the fine line women walk, never fully able to strike a balance between being themselves and living up to culture’s unrealistic expectations. The highly transparent statement closes her upcoming LP. A full track listing is included below.

In addition to revealing the release date for her album, Ellis has launched an exclusive Wine Country Weekend Giveaway in partnership with Visit Napa Valley in support of her single, “Wine Country,” currently charting at country radio. From now through Dec. 18, 2023

The songstress recently partnered with Lucchese to create a custom pair of “Wine Country” boots, and Ellis made an appearance at the iconic brand’s Houston storefront for a special performance to celebrate the bootmaker’s 140th anniversary. The appearance follows select dates on tour with Billy Currington and Carly Pearce. Additional new live dates below.

About Hannah Ellis:Curb Records recording artist and country music singer/songwriter Hannah Ellis’ journey — and world — is one all can feel at home in. The Campbellsville, Kentucky-native’s voice — a mix of favorite flannel, sparkling pink wine and welcome — is the friend we always wanted. Whether pouring from a car radio or your phone, the act named to Rolling Stone Country’s “Artist To Watch” list reminds you big leaps often come as a series of small steps when no one is looking. Having paid for her University of Kentucky degree with her full-ride scholarship, she — with the full support of her family — started chasing her dreams. Like so many, that meant a self-financed EP, and moving to Nashville to begin the endless rounds of writers nights, meetings, making friends, and trying to find your way. Hannah paid her dues, kept her focus and kept moving towards something she was sure she felt and knew was right. The fresh-faced songwriter, who has 42 million career streams, has since written songs recorded by artists, and been featured as a vocalist on songs, spanning multiple genres, including: Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, FOR KING + COUNTRY, Emily Weisband, Cassadee Pope, FILMORE, and Sidewalk Prophets. The magnetic artist, who has appeared on the Grand Ole Opry multiple times since making her debut, has toured with Carly Pearce, Billy Currington, Gavin DeGraw, Dwight Yoakam, Devin Dawson, and many others, and has toured as part of the CMT “Next Women of Country” Tour. Ellis was invited back by her college alma mater to be featured in a national television advertising campaign about pursuing and achieving your dreams. Hannah is one of the “CMT LISTEN UP” artists to watch for 2023. Her current radio single, “Wine Country,” and recently released “Karma on the Rocks,” are available now.
