Kenny Chesney Debuts New Video Online |
The album is set for release May 19 on BNA Records. According to Chesney, the idea behind the "Out Last Night" lyrics was inspired by a real night out with co-writer Brett James. The music video captures that feeling.

Gama Bomb One Off With Anvil |
GAMA BOMB vocalist PHILLY BYRNE comments: "We're pretty stoked to be supporting Anvil in Dublin. It's not only a good chance to play to people who'd never normally come to the dank, dark places we play in, but it's also going to be cool to share the stage with real-life thrash metal comeback kids.
