  • J. LeBang Drops ‘International Man of Sexy’: A Cinematic Power-Groove Featuring Tosha Owens and Corey Storm

    J. LeBang Drops ‘International Man of Sexy’: A Cinematic Power-Groove Featuring Tosha Owens and Corey Storm

    DETROIT, MI – Motor City rocker J. LeBang has officially unleashed the lead single from his upcoming album Electrogasm: the high-octane, spy-themed anthem “International Man of Sexy.”

    This isn’t just a rock song; it’s a cinematic event. The track features a powerhouse vocal duet between J. LeBang and the “Queen of Detroit Soul,” Tosha Owens. Their explosive chemistry is anchored by the “thumping bass” of Pete Bankert and the razor-sharp lead guitar of Corey Storm, creating a sound that is as sophisticated as it is heavy.

    THE SOUND OF LANDSBURY LANE
    Personally mixed by J. LeBang with technical assistance from Mark Papow at Landsbury Lane, “International Man of Sexy” showcases the project’s signature “alluring counter-rhythm.” The track is bolstered by the Detroit Wind Section, including Nathan Glitman (Sax), Justin Zak (French Horn), Randolph E. Regal (Trumpet), and Larry Rife (Clarinet), delivering a “007-on-overdrive” atmosphere.

    A THIRD MAN PRESSING EXCLUSIVE
    To capture the massive scale of this performance, the single is heading to the lathes at Third Man Pressing in Detroit. Pressing this track on high-quality, limited-edition vinyl ensures that the grit of Corey Storm’s riffs and the soul of Tosha Owens’ vocals are preserved in pure analog glory.

    “This track is the mission statement for the whole album,” says LeBang. “It’s bombastic, it’s soulful, and it’s pure Detroit. Having Tosha and Corey on this track took it to a level that only the world-class gear at Third Man can truly capture.”

    STRICTLY LIMITED EDITION
    Fans are encouraged to act fast, as the vinyl release of Electrogasm will be a strictly limited run. Once these initial pressings are gone, they become instant collector’s items for the Detroit rock faithful.

    The Release Schedule:

    • Digital Drop: The single and full digital album release early next week.
    • The Vinyl Event: The official worldwide launch occurs April 4th, featuring the limited-edition vinyl.

    Media & Radio Inquiries:
    Digital screeners, interview requests, and radio-ready masters are available upon request. For full credits and the “Electrogasm” experience, visit JLEBANG.com.

    “Join The Syndicate. Get that Electrogasm energy in your ears ahead of the crowd.”

  • Dawn of the Rising unleashes “Make Your Peace” onto the Rock World!

    Music Review — “Make Your Peace” by Dawn Of The Rising (Arizona Hard Rock Revolution)

    Arizona’s own hard-rock powerhouse Dawn Of The Rising drops their brand-new single “Make Your Peace” to Rock Rage Radio today — February 19, 2026 — and it’s already making waves across the rock airwaves, including this feature debut on Rock Rage Radio’s Road Dog Radio Show.

    With roots stretching back to Phoenix since 2016, this band blends gritty hard-rock riffs with emotional urgency, crafting a sound that feels both timeless and urgent for today’s rock revival. “Make Your Peace” exemplifies that sonic intensity — punchy guitar lines lay the backbone for a chorus that’s anthemic without losing its raw edge, while Ray Coon’s vocals balance vulnerability and defiance with compelling finesse.


    A Track With Impact

    “Make Your Peace” isn’t just heavy — it’s a statement of resolve. The band’s signature blend of melodic hooks and hard-charging rhythms conveys a message of confronting internal and external battles head-on and finding resolution on your own terms. Fans will notice familiar grit from past releases like AZ Outlaw while sensing a new emotional depth that elevates the band’s songwriting.


    Music Video — Epic Visuals, Powerful Narrative

    The official Make Your Peace music video — released alongside the single — expands the song’s story into striking visual metaphor. Across gritty performance shots and symbolic imagery, the video amplifies the emotional journey at the heart of the song: struggle, confrontation, and transformation. Its pacing mirrors the track’s dynamic shifts beautifully, making this more than just a performance video — it’s an experience.


    Airplay & Accolades — Road Dog Radio Weighs In

    Already gaining traction on Rock Rage Radio, Make Your Peace earned a shout-out on the Road Dog Radio Show (Midnight) — a program known for spotlighting emerging rock talent. According to the show:

    “Dawn Of The Rising brings relentless energy and real rock grit tonight. ‘Make Your Peace’ hits with power and purpose — one of the standout tracks on Rock Rage Radio this week.”

    That endorsement reflects how the track’s raw intensity connects with listeners who crave authenticity and drive from modern rock.


    Overall Verdict — A Bold Step Forward

    In Make Your Peace, Dawn Of The Rising encapsulates the energy of classic hard rock while injecting fresh emotional weight into every riff and vocal line. With a compelling accompanying video and strong radio support — especially tonight’s Road Dog Radio Show feature — this release cements the band’s rising reputation in the rock world.

    Whether you’re a dedicated fan or a newcomer to their sound, Make Your Peace is a blast of hard-rock passion that demands a listen — and it absolutely delivers.


  • New Four Thirty Four “Stuck Out” is on Fire!

    ROAD DOG RADIO SHOW – ROCK RAGE RADIO
    🔥 OFFICIAL SINGLE REVIEW 🔥

    The Road Dog Radio Show on Rock Rage Radio just blasted “Stuck Out” — the new single from Four Thirty Four Band — through the studio stacks, and holy hell if it didn’t slam through like a jackhammer on a steel beam. This ain’t some timid slow-burner… this is fuel-injected, nitrous-charged rock ‘n’ roll chaos with a heart and soul.

    From the first brutal riff, “Stuck Out” grabs you by the collar and never lets go. Guitars that snarl, drums that hit like something you’d feel in your chest cavity, and vocals that spit truth like it’s warpaint — this track screams defiance, heartbreak, and raw unfiltered attitude all at once.

    Lyrically, it’s a modern breakup anthem — not soft and sad, but angry, honest, and real… like watching a relationship go up in flames and feeling the heat all the way home. The songwriting grips you and drags you through every twist and turn with hooks that bite deep and don’t let up.

    This is the kind of single that belongs loud — windows rattling, speakers screaming, fist in the air. If there’s a soundtrack to every late-night drive where nothing makes sense except the roar of the engine and the pulse through your veins… this is it.

    Road Dog Verdict?
    🔥 Hammer-Heavy. Heart-Strong. Certified Rock Monster. 🔥
