Belgian progressive rock band Transport Aerian presented a new music video for the track "Skywound", from the eponymous concept album released in 2022 by Melodic Revolution Records (USA). The song explores topics of faith, hope, and simply trying to stay human in the world steaming towards the imminent disaster.
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.

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.

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.

Fozzy's Spotlight on America Tour envades The Eclectic Room
Fozzy with special guests Seventh Day Slumber, Magdalene Rose and The Nocturnal Affair rolled into Angola, Indiana at the Eclectic Room with their Spotlight On North America Tour on Saturday October 21, 2023. There was “Nowhere to Run” as a line of fans gathered in front of the venue before the doors were opened. The light drizzle did not scare the crowd away from wanting to be one of the first into the building.

The Nocturnal Affair got things started for the night. Hailing from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, they brought their very unique sound to the stage. The band has an alternative rock vibe with undertones of industrial and dark rock. Ending on a fun note, they played the 1993 hit by Haddaway, What is Love!
Hitting the stage next was Magdalene Rose. The lead vocalist Maggie, is formerly of the all sister band GFM. Maggie leads the band with an extremely high energy and amazing vocals that can go from screaming to melodic and back again. The band has a heavy vibe and awesome breakdowns.
The final opening band of the night, Seventh Day Slumber, made a quick transition after Magdalene Rose, as they share the same drummer and guitarist. SDS is a rock band based out of Nashville, TN. They have been going strong in the rock scene for over 20 years. Lead vocalist Joseph Rojas speaks of a message of overcoming life’s adversity during their set, and shares a story of hope.
The crowd was ready to rock the rest of the night with Fozzy- as front man Chris Jericho welcomed their fans holding up a red solo cup to kick off their set. Chris was decked out in a cheetah print studded jacket and his custom Fozzy shoes. It’s always fun to see what outfits he wears on tour as they are always unique. Fozzy is one of the most talented and entertaining bands to watch-they love their fans and are there to not only play some great rock tunes, but they are there to show you a good time and are always successful in doing so. With Rich Ward aka The Duke on guitar and dancing around the stage, the amazing Grant Brooks on the drum kit, Billy Gray also on guitar and PJ Farley rocking the bass, you will have a blast at a Fozzy show, that is a guarantee.

Thanks for taking some time to chat with From the Green Room
1. What’s the name of the band? Hello Green Room and thank you for your interested in our project. The name is VAYA.
2. Where are you from?
From all over the world:) VAYA is a growing community where artists can connect and created together. It started with our music in Canada. Then we worked with talented sound engineers in the USA for the postproduction and co-created videos for the music with Yumi SONODA based in Japan. 3. What type of music do you play? VAYA started with a unique color of « rock » with the first album, and it tends to be more and more experimental focused on the sound and the intentions of the words than a clear stereotype structure of the song. 4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?
I am VAYA. Singer-composer of this wave. I just do my work as a messenger from the Ideas.
5. 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?
Yesterday was blues, psychedelic rock, rock, industrial, classical pieces, jazz. Today Mother Earth and human being are whispering into my ears colors, shivers, and so much more.
6. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you naturally?
Yes. And Yes:) It defines my soul since a long long time ago.
7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2023 and beyond into 2024?
A live show in November in Toronto at El Mocambo Venue, downtown. Then I am studying and receiving new kind of « knowledges » to bring this blooming and infinite creative path on the next level. Normally after a winter of introspective work a new chapter appears in Spring:) We will see, I just go with the flow.
8. For someone who wants to know more about the band, were can they find you at? And where can they find your music?
Thanks for taking some time to chat with From the Green Room
1.What’s the name of the band? Misery Lane
2.Where are you from? Ann Arbor, Michigan, US
3.What type of music do you play?
We like to say we play non-genre specific metal. We skirt the edge of where hard rock meets metal and beyond.
4.Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?
I’m Ken C Keller Jr. I’m the founder of the band. I am now the vocalist, the lead guitarist and main song writer.
5.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 my father liked to listen to classic rock and old Motown RnB. In my teen years I found old school thrash metal and that really spoke to me but musically I felt it was limiting so I branched out to the blues and country to continue to learn more about the instrument and how to fuse all those sounds into something I can call my own. These days I prefer dual guitar bands that don’t just play the same thing through the song but compliment each other to build a better dynamic in the song.
6.Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you naturally?
Honestly, I wish I had started playing sooner. My father tried to force me to play guitar and I hated it. After I joined the Marines, I had time to kill and picked it back up and taught myself how to play. And of course, that was back before YouTube, so it was ten times as hard as someone learning today. I do feel like playing is something that comes naturally, and I think the music reflects that. I generally write the music for all the instruments in a song and present It to the guys and say what do you think, and they make their changes from there.
7.What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2023 and beyond into 2024?
We will continue to play shows supporting our newest album “Red Balloon” and eventually settle down and finish recording our third album. We already have a few songs ready to go but as long as people want to hear the new stuff, we will continue to play it.
8.For someone who wants to know more about the band, were can they find you at? And where can they find your music?
First and foremost, you can check us out at our website: Miserylane.com. Our music is streaming wherever you listen to music.
9.Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all-time favorite band?
All time, I would have to say Metallica. I know their more recent albums catch a lot of hate, but they have been able to persevere. They have had to deal with some things that normally rip bands apart, but they have been able to power through and even though they are getting up there in years they can still fill and rock a stadium without 10 other supporting bands. That speaks volumes to me.
10.If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would you choose?
Slipknot. The energy those guys and their fans have a live show would be awesome to join in on.
Thanks for chatting with me From the Green Room and look forward to chatting again in the future.

More on Fozzy: After touring the world and building a loyal fanbase for the better part of twenty years, Fozzy is the epitome of what a killer rock n roll band should be: catchy, groovy, hooky, sweaty, and most importantly, a GREAT EFFEN TIME!
With six consecutive TOP 20 singles, Fozzy is steadily becoming one of the most successful bands on Modern Rock Radio, with their breakthrough massive smash song “Judas” achieving Gold Record status of 500,000 units sold in February of 2022!
Rich Ward is one of the most versatile, talented riff machines & songwriters in rock n roll today. Chris Jericho’s skills as a frontman are second to none and his vocal style & range are both powerful and instantly recognizable. The spirited drumming of Grant Brooks compliments the blazing solos of Billy Grey and the rock star energy of bassist PJ Farley. These are five seasoned pros, whose electricity and charisma light up every stage they play on and every crowd they perform for. As a result, it’s no surprise that Fozzy has skyrocketed into one of the hottest rock acts in the world today.
The band inched up the ladder after releasing four progressively popular studio albums in the 2000’s. However, it was 2012’s “Sin and Bones”, which featured the hit single “Sandpaper” (over 4.6 MILLION views on YouTube) that found the band reaching a level of legitimacy that drew a mass audience to drink in their trademark heavy melodic groove. The album eventually reached #143 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, but it was their next album, “Do You Wanna Start A War” (produced by Ward), released in the summer of 2014, that really blew the door open, debuting at #54 on Billboard and giving the band their first top 30 single in “Lights Go Out” which was blared in sports arenas nationwide.
But as much success as the band had enjoyed, nothing compared to the juggernaut of 2017’s “Judas” album. Released in May 2017, the aforementioned title track spent 5 weeks at NUMBER ONE on the highly influential ‘Big Uns Countdown’ on Sirius/XM’s Octane channel, amassed over 62 MILLION views for its video on YouTube, cracked the TOP 5 on the US Rock Radio Charts and is still heard by millions of fans worldwide weekly on TBS Network’s hugely popular “AEW Dynamite” program. The follow-up singles “Painless” hit Number 9 on the charts (11 MILLION views on YouTube), “Burn Me Out” peaked at Number 18. The current record “Boombox” features “Nowhere to Run” which cracked the Top Ten, “Sane”, (with its roller coaster themed video – one of the most thrilling & heart stopping ever made) landing at Number 8 followed by “I Still Burn” which peaked at #7, scoring a trifecta of singles for “Boombox” released May 6, 2022
Now, with those massive songs in their arsenal, Fozzy has returned to the road with tours in the US, UK, and Australia. After sharing the stage in recent years with Metallica, Kiss, Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, Shinedown, Slash, Three Days Grace, Nickelback, Steel Panther & Buckcherry, Fozzy is stoked to continue to bring good times and kick ass tunes to their fans around the world… and elsewhere!
So, get ready to experience the majesty and power of Fozzy LIVE once again and for Judas’ sake…please wear a helmet!

More on Seventh Day Slumber: As a consistent force in the music industry for nearly 20 years, Seventh Day Slumber still performs over 150 dates per year. The band has brought a fresh new feel to their signature sound, creating the heaviest and most powerful music of their career. The title track of their 2022 album “Death by Admiration” was co-written with Telle Smith and features The Word Alive. Produced by Memphis May Fire’s Kellen McGregor, “Death by Admiration” debuted at #69 on the Billboard Top 200 and landed a top 25 position on Billboards Mainstream Rock Chart. The energy and momentum of their latest release led to several nationwide tours, including direct support for Fozzy on their upcoming “Save The World Tour” and Saliva’s recent winter tour. The band is currently back in the studio with Kellen McGregor working on their follow-up album, “Feasting on Vultures,” slated to drop on September 22nd. Check out www.seventhdayslumber.com for tour dates.
More on The Nocturnal Affair: The Nocturnal Affair is an alternative/dark rock project headed by singer/songwriter Brendan Shane, from Las Vegas. The band’s crushing and melancholic musical style is an ode to darker alternative music torchbearers like Type O Negative, HIM, David Bowie, Gary Numan, and Nine Inch Nails. They capture a uniquely haunting sound steeped in downtrodden melodies enveloped in the darkness.
The band released their debut single, “Down”, on Earache Records in November of 2021, from their first album, (META)MORPHOSIS, which was produced by Grammy-nominated Disturbed bassist, John Moyer. To coincide with the release of the album in April of 2022, the band embarked on their first national tour opening for rock veterans, Fozzy. In the fall of 2022, The Nocturnal Affair hit the road again for shows with Beartooth, Gemini Syndrome, and Earshot. The group has performed alongside a wide array of artists from heavy metal heavyweights, like HELLYEAH, Asking Alexandria, and Pop Evil, as well as Industrial rockers My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult. They have toured with the vampiric act The 69 Eyes while also being accessible enough to share the stage with notable mainstream acts like 3 Doors Down and Black Stone Cherry.
Their latest single “It’s No Good” is their take on Depeche Mode’s chart-topping hit from ‘97. An homage to some of the music that made Nocturnal who they are. To coincide with this release, The Nocturnal Affair embarked on Spring and Summer tours with both Fozzy and Smile Empty Soul, respectively. “It’s No Good” has been climbing the SMR charts, breaking the Top 20 in only a few weeks. A follow-up single and further national touring is projected for this Fall.
Magdalene Rose is a master of metal, with an infectious energy and a fiercely devoted fan base. Her highly successful single, Shark Spray, is out now. Follow Fozzy Online: https://www.facebook.com/FozzyRock
