FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 11, 2023

Toronto, ON – Award-winning rock act Sam Roberts Band, recently released their compelling new single “Projection” via Known Accomplice / Cadence Music Group to radio and all streaming platforms.

“Projection” is a dynamic alternative rock tune that blends introspective lyrics with the distinctive Sam Roberts Band sound, capturing the essence of self-discovery and vulnerability. With its infectious chorus and captivating verses, the single becomes a canvas of personal reflection for all.

“When the lines between fact and fiction have become so blurred, how do we measure our truest selves? What can we rely on? Hold on to?,” said Sam Roberts. The new single “Projection” is seemingly a song with more questions than answers but, at its heart, there is a clear statement that love is still the one constant we can live by.”

In addition to the new single release, Sam Roberts Band are also excited to announce their 2024 North American tour, which will be the band’s first full tour since 2018, due to the pandemic-cancelled previous tour dates. The journey will kick off in their hometown Montréal, QC on February 2nd at Théâtre Beanfield, and includes stops across Canada and select US cities.

Fans who pre-ordered the new album will have first access to tickets on September 12th, followed by The SRB official Fan Club pre-sale. Public on sale for all shows will be Friday, September 15th at 10am local time.

Sam Roberts Band has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to supporting War Child and their work to empower children and families in communities affected by war throughout the world. “We are so excited that Sam Roberts Band is supporting our efforts through PLUS1. The needs have never been greater. Conflict has intensified throughout the world with 110 million people currently displaced. Through their generosity and amazing music Sam Roberts Band are part of an incredible legacy of change for children who live with war and we are so grateful,” Dr. Samantha Nutt, Founder and President War Child Canada and War Child USA.

With over 125 million + career streams to date, Sam Roberts Band maintains their tradition of delivering chart-topping singles, consistently surpassing expectations with their music.

The band recently announced their highly anticipated album, The Adventures Of Ben Blank, which is set to be released on October 20th. The album is a collection of 9 tracks and will include the band’s other recent singles, “Afterlife” and “Picture of Love,” which earned a SOCAN #! Award for hitting the #1 spot on the CBC Music Top 20 Chart and the track hit #11 on the Canadian Alternative Rock chart. Pre-order and pre-save the album here.

Born in Montreal, Sam Roberts had been a violin player, surrounded by a vast range of musical influences, who eventually moved on to guitar and started a rock band with friends. The Inhuman Condition became the best-selling independent EP in Canadian history and included a re-recorded version of “Brother Down” and the chart topper “Don’t Walk Away Eileen”. In 2003 he released his first full-length album, We Were Born in a Flame. This year marks the 20-year anniversary for the Double-Platinum certified album, which was a huge hit in Canada and won JUNO Awards for Album of the Year, Rock Album of the Year, and Artist of the Year.

Roberts has since continued to release hit Platinum and Gold-certified albums, winning awards across the board and landing once of a lifetime performance opportunities such as at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.

Afterlife, Sam Roberts Band, The Adventures Of Ben Blank

New Single “Afterlife” Out Now

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 28, 2023

Toronto, ON – JUNO Award-winning rock act Sam Roberts Band, are excited to announce their highly-anticipated new album, The Adventures of Ben Blank, set to be released on October 20th via Known Accomplice / Cadence Music Group and all streaming platforms.

The Adventures of Ben Blank is a collection of 9 tracks including irresistible melodies, rich harmonies and insightful lyrics with the distinctive Sam Roberts Band sound. It was recorded at Giant Studio in Toronto, ON with production credits including Sam Roberts, Gus van Go and James Younger (Yukon Blonde.)

Blank is the narrator of Sam Roberts Band’s eighth full-length album, and he’s at once a familiar figure and an unknowable spectre —a man in a constant state of creation, simultaneously ancient and endlessly reborn.

The album is available for pre-order now and includes a standard black vinyl and a limited edition copper nugget-coloured vinyl version via the band’s website. Pre-order the album here. Enter to win a Sam Roberts Band merch bundle, including an autographed test pressing of the album and more here.

Today, the band released their newest song off the upcoming album, “Afterlife,” which effortlessly blends rock, alternative and indie elements. The centrepiece of the record is the stunning “Afterlife”, a middle finger raised at the prospect of death, in which Blank spits “I’ll get my kicks on this side of the Styx.” It’s a reminder of the momentousness of the moment, a bold refutation of the future—both a joyful and a painful reminder that this is all we have. Watch the visualizer for “Afterlife” here.

The album will also include the focus track, “The Ballad of Ben Blank,” which serves as the album’s stomping introduction, and the band’s most recent single “Picture of Love,” which peaked at #11 on the Canadian Alternative Rock charts. Written by Sam Roberts, “Picture of Love” is a refreshing dose of warmth with guitars effortlessly woven through an irresistible melody.

With over 125 million career streams to date, Sam Roberts Band maintains their tradition of delivering chart-topping singles, consistently surpassing expectations with their music.

The Adventures of Ben Blank will be the band’s first new album since 2020’s All of Us. The album garnered critical praise and achieved notable recognition, including a JUNO nomination for Rock Album of the Year and being listed among the top 10 highest-rated albums of that year by Uncut Magazine.

In addition to the new album, the band are also gearing up to head out on tour in 2024. Fans can still see the band perform live at select venues this summer.

CANADIAN ROCK BAND, TEXAS KING RELEASE NEW EP CAPSIZE ON JULY 7TH

Capsize, Texas King

“Whatever You Break” Roars Into #5 Spot on The Active Rock Radio Charts

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: June 2, 2023

Toronto, ON – Today, Canadian rock band Texas King is excited to announce their highly-anticipated new EP Capsize, set to be released on July 7th via Known Accomplice / Cadence Music Group and via all streaming platforms.

Capsize will be the band’s biggest and boldest record yet, and is a story of reckoning, redemption, nostalgia, and hope that sees Texas King’s Jordan Macdonald (Vocals & Guitar), Melvin Murray (Bass), and Phil Spina (Drums) following up from where their 2021 EP, Changes, left off.

The five-track EP will include Texas King’s current radio single “Whatever You Break,” a driving power ballad, which recently broke into the #5 on the Active Rock charts and is the band’s highest charting single to date. The song was produced by Brian Moncarz, along with the EP’s title track “Capsize” and “Rely On Me”.

“This is a follow up to our Changes EP and it speaks to the real life nature of things sometimes needing to get worse before they get better. The metaphor is that you’re in a boat and seemingly smooth sailing when all of a sudden you re enter rough waters and you find out that your boat wasn’t as solid as you thought. It flips over. A total capsize. There’s something to be said about hitting rock bottom. There are some “phoenix rising from the ashes” type vibes on this one that we hope fans enjoy,” said Jordan MacDonald, lead vocalist of Texas King.

In-your-face singalongs and heartfelt power ballads that reflect the heat, the urgency, and the desperation of a moment, are also showcased on the EP in the tracks, “Home” and “Memory,” produced by Peter van Helvoort and Matt Snell.

Texas King have put 250,000 miles into their van over the past decade – touring all over North America alongside acts like Big Wreck, Last Dinosaurs, and The Glorious Sons. Since 2013, they’ve been cutting their teeth on the road and in the studio, releasing music that captures the show-stopping passion they’ve brought to stages that include Vancouver’s Ambleside Festival, Ontario’s ParkJam and Hillside Festivals, and Québec’s Festival D’été.

Most recently, the band performed their high energy live show for 20 markets across Canada on their national tour, after announcing that they inked a deal with Known Accomplice, the go-to indie label serving rock and related genres in Canada. Texas King also has an upcoming show in Bala, ON on August 19th opening for The Trews.

The Trews, Xmas (Merry Christmas)

THE TREWS RELEASE BRAND NEW HOLIDAY SINGLE “XMAS (MERRY CHRISTMAS)”

UPCOMING TOUR DATES – INCLUDING HEADLINING SHOW IN TORONTO FOLLOWED BY U.S TOUR

(November 17, 2022) – To celebrate the holidays, The Trews have shared news of their festive new single ‘Xmas (Merry Christmas),” alongside a handful of U.S. dates to coincide with their headlining show on December 3rd in Toronto with support from Gord Sinclair of The Tragically Hip.

In keeping with the spirit of the season, and the track’s themes of giving back and being thankful for the things that matter most, members Colin MacDonald, John-Angus MacDonald, Jack Sypereck, and Chris Gormley wanted to find ways to put those words into action. As such, the band will be out and about in the weeks leading up to Christmas taking part in what they’ve dubbed their good deeds initiative. Stay tuned to the band’s socials to keep tabs on their plans and find out how you can participate!

When asked what initially inspired the track, Colin shared: ‘Santa Claus commissioned us to write a new Christmas for the 2022 holiday season. I guess he was getting a little tired of that Paul McCartney one and wanted something new that, in his words ‘slaps.’ Needless to say, we were blown away by this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and got to work immediately! We came up with ‘Xmas (Merry Christmas)’. While Santa thought the title a little obvious he felt we more than made up for it with performance and production value (shout out to producer Derek Hoffman). Santa added that Mrs. Claus loved the chorus, even adding it to her ‘Mrs. Claus’ Christmas Jams’ playlist, and that the elves had been whistling it while they worked. I hope you guys love it as much as the gang up north. Merry Christmas from the Trews!”

The band will be touring in support of their most recent album Wanderer. Originally meant to record the full album with The Black Crowes’ Rich Robinson in Nashville, the band were only able to get three songs in with him in an original Nashville session early 2020 before the pandemic hit. Like most things over the past two years, the album process was put on hold and left the band time to create new music. Once studios opened back up, the guys quickly returned to the studio to record a few tracks with Cilvilnaire producer Derek Hoffman followed by the remainder of the album recorded with a award-winning producer Erik Ratz. Wanderer could not have achieved its acrobatic feats of sonic power had it not been for the lamentable, awful but also weirdly inspiring and motivational global pandemic which made touring impossible and writing and recording the only option on the table for months.

“This is a really strong rock record from start to finish. Every song was mulled over extensively,” guitarist John-Angus MacDonald says. “The pandemic bought us more time which you always need with songwriting. There are songs that would not be on this record had it happened another way.” Adds singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald, “We accidentally honed our recording skills because there was no live show to get to.”

Excuses Excuses, Listen Up!, My Nicotine

ROCK-TRIO EXCUSES EXCUSES DEBUT FULL-LENGTH LISTEN UP! OUT NOW

SHARE VIDEO FOR “MY NICOTINE”

CATCH THE BAND LIVE – ON TOUR NOW

(Toronto, ON – September 20, 2022) – Rock trio Excuses Excuses pair a blistering youthful energy with an attention to the finest details of songwriting, they come armed with a lawless desire to make a true believer out of everyone in the room with their deep, introspective lyrics, jaw-dropping emotion, and melody-heavy songs. As thought-provoking as it is intense, the power of their live show unites and captivates audiences worldwide, and the title of their latest offering Listen Up!, is out now as much a call-to-arms as it is a visceral decree.

The band share the video for their album’s latest single “My Nicotine” – a dark and blistering track with a video to match. About the song singer Kyle shares “When we were recording this track, we knew there was something special about it as soon as we heard it through the studio speakers. It was almost haunting how we all looked around to each other as the first chorus hit with our jaws wide open as if we were all thinking “did you hear that?!?!” I think it was a big turning point for the recording of our album, because that was the moment we realized we had something much more special than just a collection of songs on our hands. We had a real RECORD, and nothing can recreate how good that felt.”

WATCH MY NICOTINE

LISTEN TO LISTEN UP!

The band are currently out on the road in support of Listen Up!, playing shows across Ontario and eastern Canada. With stops in the east coast including shows in Charlottetown, Saint John and Halifax under their belts, the band are back in Ontario for a string of dates in Oshawa, Windsor, London and Guelph upcoming. Upcoming dates below.

TOUR DATES

09.24 – The Biltmore Theatre – Oshawa, ON
10.06 – Phog Lounge – Windsor, ON
10.07 – Rum Runners – London, ON
10.08 – Silence – Guelph, ON

More about Excuses Excuses:

Rock and roll: young hearts, alive, wild, and free, under the lights of a club stage, in front of decibel-bending amplifiers, behind a wall of shaking fists and shouting friends, conjuring the spirits, cleansing with fire. Like an untamed and ferocious animal, you can feel and hear it all wash over you like waves from your place in the crowd. It is here that Excuses Excuses are most at home.

Unlike some of their contemporaries however, Excuses Excuses don’t rely on just their energetic spirit alone: Excuses Excuses expertly pairs their unconfined, youthful energy with a pop sensibility and a focused sense of attention to the most subtle details of meticulously catchy songwriting.

“I was always very attracted to high energy music, and that started with Sabbath,” recalls singer and guitarist Kyle Wilton, reminiscing of rifling through a dusty record collection, the spirit of rock and roll at his fingertips, right there for the taking. “But all of our songs really mean something very specific, and although we want people to interpret them however it makes sense to them, you’ve got to communicate those emotions in a way that people are going to feel.”

Excuses Excuses come armed with a lawless desire to make a true believer out of everyone—and that means everyone—in the room with their jaw-dropping intensity and melody-heavy songs. From the veteran jaded rocker in the front, to the fading bartender claiming to have “seen it all,” to the star-crossed lovers soon to meet in the front row: all are tender prey, fair game, and converts in the making. “That’s where we live, on the road. That’s the best way to express our music,” Wilton admits earnestly. “The emotion is so much more and speaks a whole new volume to the story when somebody can perform it to you as opposed to you just listening to it. That’s the best way for us to communicate our songs to the world, is to show them.”

Rock and roll is a weapon, a promise, an energy, and it captivates and inspires, pulling us within the fiery whirlpool of its deadly spell. Carrying that torch into a new era of young, sweaty, and overdriven rock and rollers, yet standing apart from those that have come before them, Excuses Excuses come armed with generations of melodies, influences, and inspirations to draw from.
