New Music: Dogstar, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Movements & Adam Lambert
Dogstar
This Sphere
Dogstar: This Sphere
The song is from Dogstar’s fourth studio album, “All In Now,” due May 29th.
The band, guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, bassist Keanu Reeves and drummer Rob Mailhouse, credits producer Nick Launay with the fully realized sound and the energy of “All In Now.”
“Working with Bret, Robert and Keanu was extremely fun because it brought things back to why people form bands and make music,” reports Launay. “These three friends wrote some killer songs and wanted to push some boundaries in the studio. It’s all passion and no B.S. For me, it’s always a treat working with such capable musicians because the sky’s the limit.”
Drop Dead, Gorgeous
Cyanide
Drop Dead, Gorgeous: Cyanide
“It’s a dark love song for anyone who’s ever been addicted to someone they should’ve run from,” offers Drop Dead, Gorgeous frontman Danny Stillman.
Drop Dead, Gorgeous, a Post-Hardcore band from Denver, formed in 2004. They signed with Rise Records releasing their debut EP “Be Mine, Valentine” followed by their first full-length album “In Vogue” later that year.
Two more studio albums dropped: “Worse Than A Fairy Tale” (2007) and “The Hot N’ Heavy” (2009), the latter peaking at #6 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart.
After going on an extended hiatus in 2011 core members Stillman, Danny Cooper and Jake Hansen returned in 2024 followed by a string of shows and new music last year.
Movements
Dissolve Me/Back In My Ways
Movements: Dissolve Me/Back In My Ways
Movements will release their fourth full-length album, “Happier Now,” on September 4th.
“‘Dissolve Me’, the first track we wrote for this record, set a precedent for our writing process,” states Movements’ vocalist Patrick Miranda. “Nailing the lead single for an album cycle on the first try is a significant accomplishment.”
“‘Back In My Ways’ was a track that I kinda hated at first,” explains Miranda. “I think there was part of me that was hesitant to want to slip back into the ‘sadder’ side of our music. But over time it’s become one of my favorite tracks on the record. This song is a slow burn in more ways than one, and it’s really special.”
Adam Lambert
Eat U Alive
Adam Lambert: Eat U Alive
“‘Eat U Alive’ is the perfect primer into my next musical chapter,” proffers Lambert. “I wanted to create songs that fit into a world reminiscent of the music that made a formative impact on me in the ’90s and early 00’s.”
Lanbert adds: “The album explores both the light and shade of life and the razor’s edge that separates a positive experience from a negative one. I hope these songs connect with anyone who has been through the confusing but necessary process of self-acceptance. There was a real liberation in acknowledging my own weaknesses and strengths. Accepting the bad and the good all together. Revolutionary for someone who always thought of himself as a perfectionist and Idealist.”
Lambert is set to release his sixth full-length studio album, “Adam,” on July 10th.
