The mighty Airbourne are back in the game with ‘GUTSY’, the band’s first new song in six years; bristling with attitude and intent, this is Airbourne on steroids.
For frontman / lead guitarist Joel O’Keeffe, his brother Ryan on drums, plus longstanding bassist Justin Street and more recent recruit Brett Tyrrell, rhythm guitar, ‘GUTSY’ power-fully underlines all of the values they hold dear – the ‘blood ‘n’ sweat’ commitment to the rock ‘n’ roll cause, plus the desire to honour the true heroes of the genre.
Kris Barras’ new blues-rock super-collective Hollow Souls are pleased to announce their sophomore single “Shotgun” featuring the unmistakeable vocals of Jon ‘Marv’ Harvey, of the Canadian powerhouse southern rock band, Monster Truck. “Shotgun” is the second single from the band’s forthcoming EP out in September and is released on Hollow Souls own label imprint.
Paul Freeman’s reentry into the music scene as his alter-ego Welsh Wolf is one to look out for. He released his new EP A Voyeur’s Dream in early 2025, giving fans the chance to uncover the layers of Welsh Wolf’s new chapter and his electrifying music that inspires listeners whether they’re blasting it in the car or watching him perform live on stage. The latest single is ‘Follow The Fear’.
After finding his first guitar atop a dumpster at the age of 10 in South Wales, Welsh Wolf’s musical journey began as he taught himself how to play his favorite songs at the time. With determination and practice, he eventually found himself playing and writing for musical icons - playing guitar on Blunt’s recording of “You’re Beautiful,” writing a Top-40 Billboard hit for Sleeping with Sirens, and writing songs covered by Robbie Williams, Meat Loaf, and Mark Owen of Take That. He has landed incredible syncs over the years in films including "The Break-Up”, as well as, hit TV shows "Jessica Jones” and “Insatiable”.
