Hellyeah Tackle Domestic Violence In New Single
(Classic Rock) Hellyeah will release a single entitled "Hush" on March 13 in a bid to raise awareness about domestic violence. Chad Gray's lyrics aim to support the values of the No More organization and its current week-long program of campaigns across the US. His words carry a message to those who have had to deal with the issue.

Hellyeah say: "The lyrics to Hush discuss Chad's personal experience growing up in a home with domestic violence, and aim to shed light on a hidden subject while letting other survivors know they're not alone."

The band add: "No More is a unifying movement focused on engaging bystanders to end violence and sexual assault. No More Week is designed to spark conversations around the issues, and galvanize communities, organization and corporations to make them a priority." Read more here.

Steve Hackett Releases 'The Wheel's Turning' Video
(Classic Rock) Steve Hackett has premiered his video for "The Wheel's Turning" with TeamRock. It's taken from his album Wolflight, his first original solo outing since 2011.

Hackett recently explained: "Wolflight reflects everybody's struggle for freedom on a journey travelling through both inner and outer space. It explores sounds from as far afield as Greece, Azerbaijan, the deep American South, Sahara desert and beyond, from all our yesterdays, evoking the ancient past."

The former Genesis guitarist last month confirmed Flower Kings mastermind Roine Stolt as a member of his band for his 2015 tour dates, which include a run of UK appearances in October. See the dates and watch the video here.

Pre-Yes Band Mabel Greer's Toyshop Release New Video
(Prog) Mabel Greer's Toyshop have released a video for the title track of long-awaited debut album New Way Of Life. The band formed in 1966 and morphed into Yes two years later. In the 21st-century version, co-founders Clive Bayley and Bob Hagger are joined by Tony Kaye, Billy Sherwood and Hugo Barre.

Sherwood, who produced the album, recently admitted: "On hearing Mabel Greer's Toyshop wanted to get back together after so long, I was sceptical about how it would all sound. To my surprise, it was actually very cool - not only will this new album appeal to diehard Yes fans, but also to a whole new breed of followers. It's such an exciting project to be involved with."

The New Way Of Life video was shot during band rehearsals in France and features Bayley, Hagger and Barre with guitarist Alex Keren and vocalist Annouchka Bayley. Watch the video here.

The Tangent Streaming New Song 'A Spark In The Aether'
(Prog) The Tangent have launched a stream of A Spark In The Aether, the title track of the band's eighth album. It will be released on April 20 via InsideOut and sees mainman Andy Tillison joined by Jonas Reingold, Theo Travis, Luke Machin and Morgan Agren.

Tillison says: "In many ways it's a bit of a rallying cry to people to keep open minds about newer music in a world where remasters and reissues are more eagerly anticipated than new material. But it's a hugely optimistic piece that's primarily about keeping a young spirit as you go through life."

The promo was created from YouTube clips shot by fans. Tillison explains: "We wanted a video that showed the real energy of the band on stage - something that has always been important to the group.

"We've never set much store by big light shows or video projections. 'We do it with our bodies' is the philosophy. And what the fans do with our music, we use and give back to them." Stream the song here.

Singled Out: Santa Cruz's My Remedy
Today Helsinki hard rockers Santa Cruz's frontman Archie Kuosmanen tell us about the song "My Remedy" which comes from their brand new self-titled album (out in North America this week). Here is the story:

Our new single My Remedy is basically a story of trying to escape reality what ever the way. It's about when the surrounding world is inch away from suffocating you. But still doesn't mean that all hope is gone it's more like a reach out to somebody to drag him out of the quicksand he's sinking in.

Riff was handed to Johnny by an elf who flew into his bedroom in a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket after he sacrificed 4 white goats to gods of rock 'n' roll in this darkened room covered with posters of Miley Cyrus.

But really the song is pretty much based around this riff with a RATM feel in it, juiced up with a chorus that is meant to be stuck in your head for the rest of the week.

We feel that we found our own voice and sound on this new self-titled album and "My Remedy" is the perfect example of it, which makes it my favorite song on the album.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself as you watch the video here and learn more about the album right here!
