FOSSIL YOUTH Teams Up with SLEEPING WITH SIRENS’ Kellin Quinn on New Single

Fossil Youth have returned, if briefly, to share “Nobody’s Happy,” a single left over from the whirlwind sessions of 2016’s A Glimpse of Self Joy. That record landed the Oklahoma post-hardcore outfit on year-end Billboard Heatseekers charts and kicked off a rigorous touring calendar. The band announced their hiatus early last year, and vocalist/guitarist Scottie Noonan sold the band’s van, bought a Ford Fusion, and invested his unstoppable work ethic into the world of professional video games. A chance encounter with Sleeping with Sirens’ Kellin Quinn returned Fossil Youth to the studio to rework a leftover track from the AGOSY days, and it’s here today thanks to Alternative Press.

Actor and Singer-Songwriter, Rob Mayes, Releases Debut EP, Closer

Country artist, Rob Mayes, has released his debut EP, Closer, which is now available through all streaming platforms and digital retailers (listen here). Mayes has had a busy year thus far, traveling between Nashville and L.A. recording new music and writing, while also acting in films that are soon to be released including “The Road Home For Christmas” and “A Soldiers Heart.” Mayes has been looking forward to releasing his debut project and says, “I wanted to share another one of my arts with the world. A friend. Another craft. A craft and art that to me, is the most important; one that’s kept me sane and offered solitude. That has provided me with strength in lonesome, sad, and doubting times. There’s something much more that can be conveyed with words and a melody, and a key, and a tempo and progression. It’s a universal language. And I hope people understand it and I hope that it might inspire. This is just the beginning.”
