Ghost Hounds Release New Song “Make It Shake,” Out Today via Gibson Records

Posted on by

Ghost-Hounds-Release-New-Song-Make-It-ShakeGhost Hounds are back with the perfect song to dance into summer. Today, they’ve released “Make It Shake,” a new song off their upcoming album.

Ghost Hounds released the first single and video off the album, “Dirty Angel,” in March to praise from American Songwriter, Consequence, and Guitar World, among others – watch/share the “Dirty Angel” video HERE. On their inspiration behind “Make It Shake,” the band explains, “Over the years we’ve been fortunate enough to tour with The Rolling Stones, which was absolutely surreal and a major inspiration for us. Opening for them was a do-or-die moment – we knew that we had to go on stage and get the crowd moving to show them what we’re all about. ‘Make It Shake’ is all about that feeling of crafting an irresistible song that just makes people want to get up and dance.”

Aside from gearing up for the release of their new album, Ghost Hounds has spent time giving back to the community. Last month, they visited the Gibson Showroom in Miami for a performance celebrating the Latin GRAMMY Cultural Foundation. Along with their performance, the band, in partnership with Gibson Records, donated instruments and funds totaling $20,000 to the foundation, which supports the legacy of Latin music and musicians, and the Miami music community.

While touring with legendary acts including The Rolling Stones, Garth Brooks, and ZZ Top, Ghost Hounds spent plenty of time refining their sound, culminating in their most sophisticated record to date. Their latest release, “Make It Shake,” gives fans a hint at what they can expect from the upcoming album. It’s an upbeat, danceable song infused with the band’s signature bluesy sound.

Public Image Ltd. Announce New Album “End of the World”

Posted on by

Public-Image-Ltd-Announce-New-Album-End-of-the-WorldPublic Image Ltd. (PiL) have decided to continue plans to announce their 11th studio album and first album in 8 years, End of World, today, following the sad passing of John’s wife of more than 4 decades, Nora Forster, on 5th April.

End of World will be released on 11th August 2023 on PiL Official via Cargo UK Distribution, followed by a 38-date UK and European Tour.

Earlier this year, PiL released “Hawaii,” the most personal piece of songwriting and accompanying artwork that John Lydon has ever shared. The song is a love letter to John’s wife Nora, who sadly passed away from Alzheimer’s on Wednesday 5th April. A pensive, personal yet universal love song that has resonated with many since its release in January, the song sees John reflecting on their lifetime well spent and in particular one of their happiest moments together in Hawaii. John said, “Nora loved the album, she wouldn’t have wanted us to postpone it or change any of our plans.” Previously he has said of “Hawaii,” “It is dedicated to everyone going through tough times on the journey of life, with the person they care for the most.”

The band began writing and recording End of World in 2018, during their 40th anniversary tour. After The Great Pause, the band regrouped in the studio and “there was just this massive explosion of ideas,” Lydon says. The result finds PiL set to release 13 of the best tracks they have ever written.

The announcement comes with the release of new single “Penge,” which John has described as, “something of a mediaeval Viking epic.”
