New single from Act III, “The Fight,” is now streaming on all the platforms. Click this link and pick your poison. We’re already up to like 30,000 plays on Spotify, so that’s something like 50 dollars! About 4 of us are gonna get to eat a burrito with that chunk of change (the other 4 will starve)!!! But seriously, we’re glad you’re all seeming to like it. There’s plenty more where that came from.
Cover design and new logo done by Caspar Newbolt with artwork by John DeLucca. I think they did a hell of a job, if I do say so myself.
And yeah… James Cameron may have beaten us by getting Avatar 2 out before we could release Act III, but mark my words, I almost somewhat guarantee that we’ll have Act III out before Avatar 5! The gauntlet has been thrown, Mr. Cameron. Come at us.
—FIGHT MERCH—
Like that Fight art and new logo? Get it on some shirts! We’ve got a regular coal colored (nearly black) Tshirt, and girl-style scoop Tshirt to choose from.
And on top of that, we’ve got a pretty rad new raglan sweatshirt (raglan is the only way to go with sweatshirts. Believe me, I’m an expert).
We’ve also got a pretty awesome windbreaker (with some rain protection) pullover with silver-ish print. This sort of a jacket is a first for us, so let us know how you like it by buying it or not (whichever is funnier).
**please note** this new FIGHT merch will not ship in time for the holidays.
—CHICAGO—
Our 2 shows at Reggies with Cybertronic Spree are now super sold out and we couldn’t be more excited to get back to Chicago for some Italian Hot Beef Sandwiches!…. and shows. See you there!
—EURO TOUR—
And let’s not forget our upcoming Europe and UK tour! Get to a show and you’ll hear “The Fight,” as well as some other Act III jams. So get your tickets and help spread the word over there. Send your friends the link to “The Fight” to see if they like it and then bring them to a show even if they don’t. Maybe bring them to 5 shows. While you’re helping us with promotion, go ahead and start requesting “The Fight” at your local radio stations. And call in to TRL and demand that Cason Daly puts us on the show. Then Google who/what Carson Daly and TRL are.

[Album] Dylan LeBlanc kündigt neues Album "Coyote" an!
US-Singer-Songwriter und Multi-Instrumentalist Dylan LeBlanc veröffentlicht am 20. Oktober sein neues Album "Coyote" über ATO Records. Mit "No Promises Broken" gibt es zudem eine erste Single.
Auf "Coyote", dem Nachfolger von LeBlancs 2019 erschienenem Album "Renegade" ist dieser zum ersten Mal auch als Produzent tätig und arbeitet dafür mit einer Gruppe von All-Star-Musikern zusammen, darunter Schlagzeuger Fred Eltringham (Ringo Starr, Sheryl Crow), Pianist Jim "Moose" Brown (Bob Seger) und Bassist Seth Kaufman (Lana Del Rey).
"Coyote" ist sowohl halb autobiografisch als auch ein Konzeptalbum, das die Geschichte eines Charakters erzählt, der am Rande des Abgrunds lebt und in der kriminellen Unterwelt von Mexiko zuhause ist. Während er darum kämpft, einen Ausweg aus all dem zu finden, wird Coyote immer wieder von seiner Vergangenheit eingeholt, voller Schmerz und Bedauern über ein möglicherweise vergeudetes Leben. Auf seinem Weg zur Erlösung und Freiheit wird der Protagonist in den 13 Alternative-Country- und Folk-lastigen Songs dabei vermehrt mit der merkwürdigen menschlichen Natur, Misstrauen, Materialismus und eigenen Wünschen konfrontiert.
Das Album, das wie ein Roadmovie aufgebaut ist, beginnt mit dem streicherlastigen Titelstück, das den Startschuss für Coyotes Reise über die Grenze zu den Drogenkartellen bereitet. "Closin' In" hinterfragt dann wiederum die getroffenen Entscheidungen, bevor unser Protagonist in "Stranger Things" auf seine große, verlorene Liebe aus "No Promises Broken" trifft, die ihm versichert, dass sich doch irgendwie alles zum Guten wenden wird. Ehe das große Finale einsetzt – inklusive Gefängnisaufenthalt, großer Flucht und finalen Entscheidungen.
Tracklist "Coyote":
01. Coyote
02. Closin’ In
03. Dark Waters
04. Dust
05. Forgotten Things
06. No Promises Broken
07. Stranger Things

ILLUMISHADE on the new single:
Cloudreader describes our human journey as an ever-flowing tide of decay and renewal from which we can harvest a devout humility. Deeply remedial at its core this song is a pathfinder for individual peace.
Marking the beginning of a new era, our album 'Another Side Of You' is an odyssey through the many facets of human emotion and the challenges we all face in this ever-changing world.
