Pauley says that the new song "is hugely about a fire, a passion that's inside you to do it. I think lyrically when it says 'Maybe I can light the way back to me' its almost like maybe if I can harness this passion I can find my way back to myself. The way that I was before this loss, the way that I was when I felt like I was stronger." Watch the video

The tribute was the final song in their set. The open air stadium was packed with more than 25,000 attendees, clearly floored by the performance. "All night tonight my thoughts with my brother Chris Cornell," said Boyd. He is one of three people that made me want to be a singer. He taught me how to be heavy and look for beauty at the same time. He was a huge influence on me and he was a huge influence on our band and so many other bands here tonight. So, I just wanted to say to Chris, I love you wherever you are. We will never forget you."
Boyd then beckoned Cage The Elephant's Matthew Schultz to join him on stage for what would be a powerful duet. The Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman was found dead in his hotel room at the MGM Grand Detroit Wednesday (May 17) night. He was 52 years old. Watch video of the tribute

The band had this to say, "We're very proud of our new album! Our dedication to song writing, recording and producing these 12 songs over the past 5 years has been a crazy musical journey and a huge learning experience that we will never forget. Our lyrical content and artwork is based on an original science-fiction concept story about a character who wakes up in a random field within an intricate crop circle with no memory of who he is or how he got there. The character is then thrown into a crazy adventure and eventually learns who he is and how to become immortal. There's so much more to the story but we don't want to give it all way just yet."

here.
The new record is set to be released on June 23rd and was produced by Eddie Wohl (Fuel, Smile Empty Soul, ill Ni�o, 36 Crazyfists) and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, ill Ni�o, Sepultura).
The band had the following to say about the new track, "'Killers in the Pit,' is simply a song for our fans, the Killers! It's for everyone that supports our music. It's for everyone that takes the time out of their lives to come down to our shows and tear up the place with us! It's about finding a positive and fun way to get rid of that extra energy and stress that so many people feel in their lives. We decided to drop this single first because music needs some flavor right now and we're bringing that not only with this track, but the whole 'S.T.F.U.' album! As it says in the song...let's show the world!!!" Watch the video

The band had this to say, "Finally! Happy to be able to offer up our new song 'Fly With Me' before the summer weather hits. This is a song inspired by the cosmos and the vastness of space and imagination. Get lost in this one."

Named after a tale from Scottish folklore, the band initially formed in late 2014. As the story goes, a farmer (Hogan) owned a goat rumored to have an odor said to travel miles away. The goat's been described as having patchy fur, an eye out of socket, and flies abound . For the band, this perfectly symbolized their unorthodox style, that which is anything but unnoticeable.
