We have all toured around another wildly popular band from Ireland, U2? in various outfits around Europe and the U.S. and arrived to a place where we could work together MH- “Really, that’s a great question, I feel like we never had to and it felt the most natural case and explored the ride on anyone’s coat-tails per se.

We have been fortunate to do a lot of traveling around and have seen a lot of places in that, we have had tremendous acceptance and welcome. It’s like a feeling of belonging which is part of the human psyche and is running counter or opposite to what is currently going on in the world and in music with the isolationism, the lack of acceptance or fear of the other,@wGeNhoatveeEanvteerryt adiifnfemreennttMexapgearizeinncee than that.”

“We never have thought about stadium size show, that kind of ‘Rockstar’ lifestyle really doesn’t fit us or have deep meaning for us. We grew up in rural Ireland so for us, just traveling around and playing music is what makes us the happiest and try to leave a positive legacy in these troubled and confusing times we are all in today.” “We want people to come to a We Banjo 3 show and come out feeling differently than when they came in, we want them to feel alive and happy and positive and filled with good feelings and thoughts. Now if we can do that with more and more people each passing year, that would be incredible.” “We don’t have any illusions that we will become some major, stadium filling band, if it happens over the next several years- Great! But what ‘s not where our hearts are at. Just making people feel good and changing their attitude and leaving a meaningful legacy, that’s what we want to do!” G-Note- Other than the American - Country musicians that we talked earlier about, who else influenced you growing up? MH-” The Beatles! Paul McCartney has also from the beginning of the band to have a similar way to doing business. He has always talked about love, peace& harmony and worked very hard (with the others as well) to put on the best show that would change people lives for ever after they experienced a Beatles live show, just the same way we want to do at a live We Banjo 3 show.” Check out all things ‘We Banjo 3’ including music and tour schedule at: www.webanjo3.com 6|Page @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

N New Music Alert: THE END machine THE END machine, featuring George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown, & Robert Mason, to Release Debut Album on March 22 via Frontiers Music Srl Hard rock titans collide for THE END machine, a brand-new project that features classic-era DOKKEN members George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, and Mick Brown as well as current WARRANT singer Robert Mason. The band will be releasing their self- titled debut on March 22nd via Frontiers Music SRL. Surely, some fans may be wondering to themselves, isn't this just Dokken without Don Dokken? \"Musically, of course there's bound to be moments that will be reminiscent of Dokken. That's only logical,\" says bassist Jeff Pilson. \"But, my guess is there will be less of that than people would expect. Some people who've heard it say they think it's closer to Lynch Mob than Dokken, but really it is pretty much its own thing. We allowed ourselves to get a little deeper than either of those projects really have, while still staying extremely melodic and not being afraid of good old-fashioned guitar rock. Maybe Lynch Mob, a bit of Dokken, but then some 70's guitar rock added in. George [Lynch] is playing fantastic on this...very inspired. Everyone is really, but George covers some new territory here and it's very cool. Plus, the songs as compositions took on their own life, especially adding Robert [Mason] to the writing. That's what I'm most proud of, is the way this stands on its own. It doesn't step on our legacy together one bit, but it has its own personality and I think that's important.\" \"This is decidedly not me 'stapled' onto a DOKKEN record,\" adds Mason. \"I wouldn't have been involved if that was the intent. Fans will hear bits of our styles in this collection of songs, and while reminiscent signatures are undeniable, THE END machine was purposely built to stand apart and on its own merit.\" Lineup: Robert Mason - Vocals Mick Brown - Drums Jeff Pilson - Bass George Lynch -Guitars For More Info Visit: https://www.facebook.com/TheEndMachine/ 7|Page @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

. Congratulations to J.P. Soars! Southbound I-95 is Soar's fourth studio full-length release. \"Over the years I have been fortunate to have met and played with some incredible musicians - musicians I look up to, musicians that I admire and inspire me,\" confesses the ever-so-humble blues guitarist-vocalist. \"Some of these musicians appear here on (Southbound I-95). A few of the aforementioned include highly-regarded vocalist Teresa James; blues harp great, Lee Oskar (War, Lowrider Band); guitar greats, Jimmy Thackery and Albert Castiglia; and Jason Newsted, onetime bassist for multi-platinum- selling hard rock act, Metallica. Born in California and raised in Arkansas, JP Soars has called South Florida home since 1985. It's safe to say most blues guitarists haven't played in extreme metal bands and aren't influenced by jazz icons like Wes Montgomery and Django Reinhardt, which explains why Soars has developed a unique style that stands apart from the rest of the pack. The proof is in the pudding as Soar's touring schedule continues to grow with performances throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and South America, as well as repeat appearances on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, and, most recently, the celebrated Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas. For the past several years, Soars has additionally been part of the regional all-star blues act, Southern Hospitality, that also features guitarist-vocalist Damon Fowler and 'The Piana From Savannah,' keyboardist-vocalist, Victor Wainwright; plus, Red Hots drummer, Chris Peet and Fowler's bassist, Matt Walker. The Blind Pig recording artists earned a Blues Blast Award (\"Best New Artist Debut Release\") for their 2013 CD Easy Livin,' and have toured worldwide in between the three bandleaders' own schedules. Southern Hospitality appears with a host of international blues icons on the Legendary Rhythm & Blues Cruise, sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida this coming February. Soars got bitten by the blues bug via a legendary source in 1988, when he won a guitar and two tickets in a raffle to see B.B. King in concert. Meeting the iconic guitarist and singer further enhanced the young musician's quest to learn more about the timeless power of the music. Soars started his blues recording career a decade ago with the 2008 release Back of My Mind, followed by More Bees With Honey (2011) and Full Moon Night in Memphis (2014). Collectively, his catalog has received extensive airplay on the XM Radio programs of Little Steven (\"Underground Garage\") and B.B. King (\"Bluesville\"); Top 50 status on the Living Blues charts, Blues Music Award nominations for \"Best Contemporary Male Blues Artist of the Year,\" and \"Best Blues CD\" and \"Album of the Year\" accolades from the Palm Beach Post. Soars is a past winner of both the IBC (International Blues Challenge) and the prestigious Albert King Award.

Alligator Recording Artists: THE KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS' LIVE AT THE RAMBLIN' MAN FAIR RELEASED ON JANUARY 11, 2019 Includes Three Recently Discovered Studio Tracks Featuring Legendary Blues Pianist Johnnie Johnson Rowdy, twanging, wild-eyed Southern rockers perform songs that insist on down-home roots. The Headhunters bring a sense of bar-band recklessness, riffing with unchecked muscle, combining country roots with ferocious, bluesy hard rock. –The New York Times Substantial, guitar-driven Southern rock…crunching guitars and aggressive percussion. –Rolling Stone One of the best and most influential country rock bands. Seamless harmonies, genre-bending, Clapton-esque guitar work. Potent and unique. –NPR Music Alligator Records has set a January 11, 2019 release date for Live At The Ramblin' Man Fair, the new album from Grammy-winning band The Kentucky Headhunters. The band -- guitarist/vocalist Richard Young, his brother drummer Fred Young, guitarist Greg Martin and bassist/vocalist Doug Phelps --- had never before been to Europe in their 30-plus year career. This set, recorded at The Ramblin' Man Fair in Maidstone, UK, captures them at the height of their powers. Live At The Ramblin' Man Fair finds the band blazing through a 10-song set in front of 25,000 screaming UK fans. Combining old-school blues and blistering Southern rock with country overtones, The Kentucky Headhunters cross borders and genres with ease, as the elated UK audience roars its collective approval throughout the concert. The album closes with three recently rediscovered studio tracks from the legendary Meet Me In Bluesland sessions featuring late blues piano icon Johnnie Johnson (known for his seminal piano work driving Chuck Berry’s most famous songs). Although The Kentucky Headhunters have been recording and touring together for over 30 years (and making music together for over 50 years), they had never, until 2016, performed overseas. That year, Richard—a notoriously uneasy flier—let his son John Fred (drummer for internationally beloved hard rock group Black Stone Cherry) talk him into bringing The Kentucky Headhunters to Europe. A tour of Sweden and the United Kingdom was booked, and the band was on its way to earning a whole new audience for their raucous and rowdy music. Since their multiple award-winning debut album in 1989, Pickin' On Nashville (Mercury), the band has released 12 more albums with total sales reaching over 11 million. Constant touring has kept the band busy and each new release has kept them in high demand. 2015’s Alligator CD, Meet Me In Bluesland (recorded in 2003 with Johnnie Johnson), brought the band to the attention of many new fans. grin on your face. Johnson pounds out licks like a wrecking ball.” The Wall Street Journal called it, “a collection of rollicking, loose-limbed songs rooted in the blues and vintage-style rock ‘n’ roll.” 9|Page @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

JYC- “I’m trying to think…Maybe in the early days but it’s for sure, been a while. What is the music scene like in Kalamazoo?” G-Note- It’s diverse here, there is a good presence of Blues, Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, Folk, Indie, Country, and some pretty good Irish bands here as well. JYC-” That’s great to hear, we need more communities that embrace and support different styles of music, way to go Kalamazoo!” G-Note- Let’s talk a minute about your band, I know your son is a member of your band, I also am aware you have some young players. JYC- “Yes, my son Tristan plays the 6-string bass. I had quit the road about 7 years ago. Last spring, I went to his senior recital before he was ready to graduate from Berklee College of Music. The young talented kids he was playing with at that recital ‘Blew me away’, I’m here to tell ya, I don’t get blown away very easily! The first thing that came to my mind was what would my music sound like with all that energy? It was genius!” “In fact, when Tristan - graduated from Berklee College of Music, he helped me to put this current group of Berklee music grads together, here are these 20-year-old something geniuses, it’s amazing and here they are playing my music! “ G-Note- Playing with these excellent and young musicians, it must have a whole new feel to your music, correct? JYC-” All I can honestly say it it’s amazing and they just give off this new energy and life to my music and they are a lot of fun to share the stage with.” G-Note: Let’s talk a few minutes about the causes that you are passionate about, and how it may or may not intersect into your music. JYC- “First off, I’m in love with this planet! Here you are growing up as a kid in the suburbs and you really don’t know what going on in the world, you’re shielded from all the stuff, then you become a teenager and I fall in love with the Blues and thinking to myself…” Where does this stuff come from?”. Then you start to wake up to the suffering, the world suffering and that amazing music that told the story of all of the generational suffering.” “The folk albums came at a time when I was focused on becoming a good musician and a good recording artist. The one think that was in my face at that time was the draft and the Viet Nam war and was I going to have to go, even though I didn’t want to go. I was very lucky to have been passed over because the artist in me would have been destroyed, my empathy is too strong.” “But I always feel close to the veterans, I have been involved with a project called the “Saratoga Workhorse” which is a therapy program created by a former Viet Nam helicopter pilot that told me, “You were in Viet Nam, every day, you were with me in my helicopter through your music! That’s how I served was through the music.” “I was privileged to go through the program even though I ‘m not a veteran, they teach you to bring all the bad stuff that you carry and with these horses, you end up leaving it all behind you in a room when you are done. It a powerful 2 days program!” “My activism, my feeling about the war, all that came in when we went to San Francisco after the ’Summer of Love’ The Youngblood’s walked into the Avalon Ballroom in June of ’67 playing to big houses and crowds. We had been living in New York and playing around the area, but we all moved there after we had played there. The FM radio stations were starting to change their playing format to long underground song to the more Pop type music, but we played a lot of free music, sometimes it was done for different causes and sometimes it was done just because we could do it.” “Back then, your road manager could go down to city hall and pull a permit for you to play in the park in San Francisco for $50 bucks. I realized that some most beautiful experiences of performing in my life is when I can give music freely, especially when there is no money exchanged it's just freely given.” G-Note- Can you explain that a little more for me please? JCY: “Yes, I'm finally to the point in my life where I feel like that at every show we do. We have an 8-piece band, we just need enough to keep going, we don't concentrate on that. These young people are so loving and so devoted to music that every night that I play is like the best benefit ever!” 11 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

“We see it a lot lately, there seems to be a genuine hunger in music that talks about love about peace about nature about family. (pause) I'm just thinking, when they were handing jobs out, I got a great one, I got lucky. To be associated with the song, 'Get Together which is an anthem, it's a hymn of peace and love has made me the man I am today, it is my destiny!” For all things Jesse Colin Young, please go to: www.facebook.com/jessecolinyoung / www.jessecolinyoung.com Check out Jesse Colin Young’s new album, “DREAMERS” Released February 15th 12 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

New Music Alert: L.A. Based NEVERWONDER Since their return, NEVERWONDER has also been greeted by positive articles in Indie Pulse Music, Rock N Roll Music Magazine, Anti-Music and Rockwired, to name a few. Titan L.A. rock station KLOS 95.5 just selected NEVERWONDER to be part of their high-profile \"Next To Rock\" competition (request the band's song \"Movin' On,\" here. \"When NEVERWONDER first made it onto Rockwired's radar in 2006, it was love at first sight and sound,\" writes the popular online magazine's Editor, Brian Lush. \"They're back with a brand-new EP and a lead singer (Fabienne Grisell) with a set of precious pipes that are able to navigate the band's lofty musical ambitions. We are excited to see a new iteration of NEVERWONDER come into their own,\" concludes Lush. NEVERWONDER came into existence from their home base of Los Angeles with a unique sound fusing rock, pop, and funky grooves. Their music is driven by strong musicianship and is rooted in life’s experiences. The band has performed at venues including the House of Blues (Los Angeles and Orange County) The Roxy, Key Club, Viper Room, Whisky A Go Go, Galaxy Theater and The The Coach House, and has been featured on the KLOS 95.5 show highlighting top unsigned L.A. bands, \"Local Licks.\" NEVERWONDER has been a dynamic act in the Rock and Roll Marathon series all over the West Coast and Las Vegas. The pulse and backbone of NEVERWONDER are Andres Ramos and Vincent Ramos. These talented brothers are the heartbeat of the band. The Ramos Brothers have also recorded and performed extensively throughout the Los Angeles area. Andres and Vincent being fans of strong grooves, heavy rock beats and alternative music, accompanied by their combination of creativity and entrepreneurship established the band NEVERWONDER. The new front woman of NEVERWONDER is classically-trained vocalist, Fabienne Grisel. Hailing from Geneva, Switzerland, Fabienne’s vocal style effortlessly ranges from beautiful soprano tones to an edgy growl. Fabienne has been a solo pop/blues/jazz recording artist for many years, and now has joined forces with NEVERWONDER to deliver a fresh blend of rock, pop and funky grooves. As a singer/songwriter, her presence draws you in. The passion and emotions she conveys through her songs, lyrics and performances leaves the audience wanting more. This new partnership with these talented musicians has allowed her vocal abilities to soar to new heights. NEVERWONDER’s new guitarist is Jay Wise. Jay is an accomplished California native who has many years of experience playing nationally and internationally. Jay has been involved in the rock and roll circle for many years, working with successful bands such as Kansas. Jays’ rich musical influences can be traced back to Steve Vai, Joe Pass and AC/DC, to name a few. As fate would have it, it would only be a matter of time until these SoCal natives Jay, Andres and Vincent, ended up crossing paths that lead them to forming this new version of NEVERWONDER. With the addition of Fabienne Grisel and Jay Wise, the band’s creative synergy is an undeniable force to be reckoned with.

New Music Alert: JJ Appleton & Jason Ricci JJ APPLETON & JASON RICCI From a Dirty Memory to a Beautiful Slop It was an unlikely phone call made in 2014 that brought Jason Ricci and JJ Appleton together. “You don’t have an acoustic album yet, let’s make one” said JJ. A few song writing sessions, a live to video and pro tools recording in NYC with Tedeschi Trucks bassist Tim Lefebvre, and the album Dirty Memory was birthed. Cut to a multi-weeklong stay in the top 10 iTunes Blues charts and the Roots Music Report, headlining Festivals and venues from the tip of icy Maine, to steamy New Orleans - it was quite a run. It became obvious to Appleton, Ricci and their fans, that a new album was in order. The duo took over bassist/producer Derek Nievergelt’s Brooklyn basement studio for two days. 90-degree heat and no AC. The swampy heat set the stage for what can only be described as 10 recordings dripping with raw grit, groove, acoustic soul and sweat: Their new album Beautiful Slop. Ricci, a harmonica legend and winner of the 2018 Blues Award for Best instrumentalist/Harmonica, has broken another barrier melding perfectly his Sonny Terry on speed style with beautiful melodic, flowing riffs that consistently bring a smile or tear throughout the record. Appleton’s original songs and unique takes on some very unusual covers shows the duo’s penchant for keeping people guessing as to what they’ll do next. The m16u|cPh-aagnteicipated October 2018 release of Beautiful Slop will be in conjunction with a 10- day tour twhwrowu.gGh-NouottetEhentNerotrathi nemasent,tN.beiwz England and Mid Atlantic. @GNot eEnter t ainmen tMagazine

G-Note: Thank you for your time today Mr. Montgomery, in full disclosure, I have been a fan for a long time. JM- “Well thank you, that last quality you have is very admirable! So, tell me, what’s going on in Kalamazoo Mi.? I haven't been there in a long time, I played Grand Rapids with Johnny Winter years ago but maybe I need to come back to Kalamazoo.” G-Note: Absolutely! We would love to have you performing a show or two in the area. If you don't mind me asking, why did you leave Detroit for New England? JM-” Yeah, I grew up in Detroit and it was a fantastic time it was very active musically. There were 5 or 6 blues clubs that were always jumpin'. I would see acts like Johnny Basset, Little Sonny and a bunch more and Chicago was only a few hours away so all those Chicago acts would play Detroit and vice versa. “ “I was under age, so of course I had to sneak in to some of these places to see these blues legends playing on any given night, so you had to make up your mind on who you wanted to see, do I want to see Muddy Waters tonight or Johnny Lee Hooker or Paul Butterfield? There were some great clubs back then and, in those days, places like the Chessmate, Blues Unlimited, Mr. Kelly's where B.B. King played, back then you could just knock on the dressing room door and meet Johnny Lee Hooker or Muddy Waters, you know there wasn't security back then. I go back to when I was 16, 17 years old where I met Junior Wells and James Cotton and we became friends and mentors of mine to the point where James Cotton called me son and I called him dad. When I would call, I would talk to James Cotton's wife because he had a hard time talking but she would always say hang on your father wants to talk to you.” “If Junior (Wells) was in town and had a night off and I was playing, he would come in and pull a seat right up front of the stage and would either nod his head for a good job or shake his head and say “you got something to learn buddy. Again, growing up in Detroit was a wonderful experience at a wonderful time.” G-Note: I heard a story about you working with Buddy Guy when you were a teenager, did you really perform with Buddy Guy when you were 17? JM- “Oh yeah, I met Buddy Guy when I was 17, when he would come out to Boston for a long period of time, he wouldn't bring his band because of costs, why spend the money on airfare, hotels and such. So, he would have us back him up on stage and play. When Buddy and Junior played Boston they would have 2 or 3 guys stay at my apartment.” “I did a couple of dates with Buddy a couple of years ago and I was instructed to call him Mr. Guy. I said there is no way I'm calling him Mr. Guy, I known him before you were born!” 20 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

G-Note: Being from Detroit what led you play the harp (harmonica) instead of a guitar or drums? JM-” Every musician has a 'moment' where you have to decide, I love rock and roll so do I play the guitar or play the drums or whatever. Same for Blues musicians, the very first time I heard the blues, I mean real blues I said 'wow' it struck like a lightning bolt, it hit a chord deep inside of me, you know? You have to decide when you play the blues what your 'moment' is.” James continued on to say” I was about 15 when I saw a jug band play in Detroit and I was thinking that man, this stuff is cool the band was playing ragtime music then when I heard the blues, live blues with Cris Cioe (Uptown Horns) playing the harmonica and that's when I knew. That was what I wanted to do, play blues harmonica.” “The second reason is I wanted to be on stage playing! I figured if I played guitar it would take a couple of years to be good enough to play in a band, same with piano and the drums who knows, I don't think I have enough rhythm. So, if I learned how to play harmonica, I could be playing on stage in 4 or 5 months! (laughing) and 5 months later I was the lead singer and harp player for that jug band!” G-Note: This may seem like a silly question, but have you had lessons or are you self-taught? JM-” Nah, I don't know of any player that has had a lesson, everyone I know was self-taught. We just torture people when we play for a few months while we are learning. But you don't have to plug it in or carry it in a case. We just keep it in the pocket and pull it out when we are ready to play.” “My new CD is dedicated to Paul Butterfield, so I'm also in the process of doing a documentary but he learned to play the harmonica in 6 months, and I've been playing for 50 years and I still can't play some of the stuff he did back then, it was unbelievable. It really is amazing little instrument and you always learn something, you never really master it.” G-Note: It seems to me that the harmonica is really the most personal instrument that you can play, agree? JM- “It really is the most personal instrument you can play, Paul Butterfield called it a 'horn from the heart' the thing that makes it really personal if you play it correctly you are taking your vocal chords and turning it into a reed to make the sound and the way you shape your mouth is exactly how you would play the note as if you were speaking them. You also move your body the same way as if you were going to speak that note which to me, make it literally an extension of you.” G-Note: What do you think of guys like Kim Wilson, Jason Ricci, Billy Branch, John Popper, etc. JM-” Well you just named off a bunch of great ones. At this point of my life, without bragging I think I'm a pretty good harmonica player, with that said these guys you mentioned are such better players than me, I'm understanding that they can do stuff that I can’t. There is a ton of great players out there now and I think it would be fair to say that Little Walter is their home base, my style is pretty straight forward, not busy or complicated.” G-Note: If I could, I would like to go back a bit and ask you why you left the Detroit blues scene for New England? JM-” It wasn't what I would call natural, my high school band was pretty successful I went to the east side of Detroit to find the best guitar player, the best bass player and drummer was because I joined that jug band when I was 15 or 16, the other members went off to college and I got bit by the bug, I wanted to have a band and of course, we turned electric after we saw Paul Butterfield not totally but we were plugged in. 21 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

So, I go to the east side of the city to find the best players and I asked them to leave their current band. They were playing “Louie, Louie” by the Kingsmen, and the Beach Boys and stuff like that. I played a Muddy Waters album and they said no, not leaving for that, then I played a Paul Butterfield album and they all said yep, I'll play that.” “I had a great band almost overnight. We did pretty good, it was called the Montgomery-Miller blues band. Later that year, I took a hit and the next day re-named it the “Great Cosmic Expanding” the very next day and got a review in the 5th Estate, which was an underground paper in Detroit where they compared us to Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. So, I was deep into music and I knew of all of these places and clubs and because of the college wanted to hear something different than Top 40. “That was the beginning of my time there, we started playing in and around Boston. I was slated to take a teaching position at B.U. but we got a call from the Allman Brothers record label (Capricorn) we were asked to 2 two albums for a bunch of money and tour with the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Marshall Tucker so.... it really wasn't much of a decision.” “For a while there people were saying there were only 3 bands in Boston, James Montgomery, J.Geils Band and Aerosmith, in the 70's we were the biggest band from Boston and New England.” “Here what I can say, every-time I get on stage, give me the ball and I'll will always go over and give it all I got!” Check out James Montgomery's music, bio and tour dates at www.jamesmontgomery.com Check out Lewis Black as he performs around the country in support of his: ‘The Joke’s On Us’ Tour 2019 22 | P a g e @GNoteEntertainmentMagazine www.G-NoteEntertainment.biz

New Music Alert – IMONOLITH IMONOLITH - the new metal powerhouse featuring vocalist Jon Howard (Threat Signal, Arkaea), drummer Ryan 'RVP' Van Poederooyen (Devin Townsend Project), guitarist Brian Waddell (Devin Townsend Project), bassist Byron Stroud (Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory), and second guitarist Kai Huppunen (Methods of Mayhem, Noise Therapy) - is making an unforgettable entrance with a brand new official single, \"Hollow\", available to stream/download for the first time today. Experience the highly-anticipated new track via a brand new video here: https://youtu.be/57tcysG4QgY \"Hollow\" can also be streamed/purchased via https://imonolith.lnk.to/HollowPR. \"Hollow\" serves as the perfect introduction to IMONOLITH, a band whose mission is simple: to write the heaviest riffs, the biggest hooks and most monstrous grooves. Given the impressive pedigree of each player, they do exactly this and more. Recorded and produced by Brian Howes and Jay Van Poederooyen (Nickelback, Chris Cornell, Airbourne, Hinder, Daughtry) at Van Howes Studios in Los Angeles, California, \"Hollow\" is immediately setting the bar high - and the best is yet to come. Drummer Ryan 'RVP' Van Poederooyen comments: \"'Hollow' is a song about the personal battles we all can face internally. Social pressures and self-expectation can drive you to a point of feeling hollow inside if you don't meet specific standards in your mind. The song itself actually has a positive message built into it. It's not about feeling hollow, it's more about preventing that hollow feeling that any one of us can develop through negative thinking and limited beliefs.\" Fans can expect many surprises as they unveil more music. RVP continues: \"As for 'Hollow', musically it represents the catchier side of IMONOLITH's music. We have varying influences spread throughout the band and we don't like to play just one style of music. We have a more metal crushing side, a catchier radio side and then music that fits in-between our heavy and catchier vibes. We always aim to make IMONOLITH's overall sound diverse and interesting. Most of all, we're always focused on trying to write a great song, no matter if it's heavy or catchy.\" IMONOLITH was officially formed in February 2018 by drummer Ryan 'RVP' Van Poederooyen and guitarist Brian Waddell, although the pair started writing their own brand of heavy music in 2015 whilst playing together in the Devin Townsend Project. RVP and Waddell then went on to recruit vocalist Jon Howard, bassist Byron Stroud, and second guitarist Kai Huppunen, completing a fearsome line-up. The Canadian quintet have since written a mass of highly diverse material, which appeals to everyone from the metalhead to the radio rock fan, and everyone in between. Since teasing demos and video clips online, IMONOLITH have amassed a dedicated legion of supporters worldwide, and with the release of the new single, their following is set to expand by the thousands. With their first run of shows throughout Canada announced and big inter2na4ti|oPnaal pglaens in the pipeline, 2019 is set to be a huge year for IMONOLITH IMOwNOwLwIT.HGo-nNliontee: Ewnwtwe.rftaacei nbomoekn.cto.mbi/zimonolithband www.instagram.com/@imGoNnoolittehEbanntder t ainm en tMag azine
