Living in socially complex times, what makes us feel human? With so many platforms for people to spew opinions without a filter, what is real and what is feeding a machine of dissolution, hate, and over-reaction? Do you often feel like you want to break away from it all? Become…the outsider? Well, fortunately many of us are not alone in feeling exhausted and, at times, drowning in sensory overload. No, Three Days Grace can relate and with that they bring to the table their latest album, Outsider, due out Friday, March 9, 2018, through RCA Records.
After three albums of more or less mediocre but entertaining Philly-disco stuff, Grace entered the 80s with a total transition. Produced by Chris Blackwell & Alex Sadkin and featuring a band comprising funk legends Sly & Robbie, Grace's Warm Leatherette with its unique blend of reggae, rock and funk combined with Grace's die-hard vocal deliverance was a powerhouse of an album, still sounding sparkling fresh today.
The Steepwater Band formed in Chicago in 1998 ignited by a passion for the city's electric blues. The power trio who quickly progressed from covering Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to writing compelling originals has crafted a rock n' roll sound best described as heavy Americana…
Mother Road, the new album from acclaimed singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Grace Potter is an audacious and heart-pounding map of the soul. Composed over a two-year span driving back and forth alone across America during the pandemic, on Mother Road, Grace deconstructs her deepest fears and darkest regrets, charting the fallout with brutal honesty and emotional daring. While grappling with demons can often be a rough ride, Grace navigates it all with imagination and unabashed joy.
Three Days Grace is the alt-metal band which has found success out of tragedy, when their second album, written in rehab, went on to outperform a platinum selling debut.
Their debut album Three Days Grace was released in 2003, from which the singles “I Hate (Everything About You)” and “Just Like You” performed well in the rock charts. The album eventually achieved platinum status.
Brisbane-based Caligula’s Horse has grown into one of the premiere progressive metal bands in the world since their inception in 2011. Combining raw rock power with immense emotional depth, the group returns with their 6th studio album, Charcoal Grace. Charcoal Grace is borne of the static hopelessness that the pandemic forced upon the band and, indeed, much of the world, these past few years. It is an album reckoning with the experiences and outcomes of this time geared, ultimately, towards catharsis - moving towards a more hopeful future. The title Charcoal Grace is described by the band as “the grim allure and strange beauty in stillness, silence, and loss”. This can be heard through the album's 10-minute opening track “The World Breathes With Me,” a mission statement for the album’s main themes. Musically, it’s a work of contrasts, moving from the lightest ebb to the heaviest flow. Meanwhile, the second track and first single from the album, “Golem,” examines struggling with the weight of expectation through the pandemic.
