'The Bottom Forty' Returns To KNRK/Portland

Nashville 4-piece Colony House fire out their lead single "Cannonballers" from the band's upcoming 4th album, The Cannonballers, coming February 3rd. Frontman Caleb Chapman said, "When I stumbled upon the guitar riff that drives the song it kinda felt like a rollercoaster ride, so I began to form the lyric around the first rollercoaster I remember riding as a kid, the Wabash Cannonball at Opryland USA Themepark. It was just a short ride with only a couple loops in it, nice and to the point. As the ride concluded I would already be thinking about getting back in line for another go,” he continues. “The song's meaning is multifaceted and alludes to the pace of life we all seem to be living at these days… fast. ‘Cannonballers’ is a short ride with a couple twists and turns, but hopefully by the time it ends, whoever is listening will want to hop back in line for another go." Colony House head out on tour February 11th-April 6th and will be playing at Bonnaroo this summer.

Toronto 5-piece Good Kid release new single "No Time To Explain" via Good People Records. The new song is off their forthcoming third EP. The indie-rock band with pop-punk influences have a visual focus on a fictional character called Nomu. The band has created video games for their fans online. Their music is featured on a recent MrBeast video, in the game Fortnite. About the song, Good Kid said, "No time to explain is about growing up together. It’s about the change that comes with growing across from someone and how that is both intimidating and uplifting. Those moments we’re afraid of what’s ahead and the moments we accept whatever that may be."

Canadian artist Tom MacDonald has built up a massive following on social media and his first radio single "Ghost" is self-released. The now L.A.-based artist ventures into the pop lane with his new song, which is a real departure from MacDonald's previous edgy/political releases. MacDonald said, "I've been pissing off the entire planet with viral rap songs for 5 years and I wanted to do something different - so, I wrote 'Ghost' for my girlfriend who's stood with me no matter how much trouble I caused on the internet. We've been best friends for 16 years and dating for 6 years. I've tried to write her a song many times in the past - but they were never perfect...and she deserves perfect. After many attempts, I finally created 'Ghost'...and it might be the best song I've ever written."
