Italian singer-songwriter Gab De La Vega has released a poignant new video for "Immortal," a song from his latest album, Life Burns, out now on SBAM Records worldwide, in collaboration with Sell The Heart Records (U.S.), Epidemic Records, Motorcity Produzioni, and Overdrive (Italy). De La Vega is set to embark on a coast-to-coast solo acoustic tour across the United States in November, bringing Life Burns live to fans stateside.
The music video for "Immortal" tells the story of a young boy navigating the adventures of his everyday life. The simple yet powerful visuals reflect the song's introspective lyrics, creating a moving contrast between the innocence of childhood and the song's deeper themes. Directed by Simone Piccinelli, known for his work as guitarist of The Open Cages, De La Vega's backing back, the video shifts away from showcasing De La Vega or his band, focusing instead on the young child's journey. "It's a very personal and intimate song," says De La Vega. "Simone's vision was to concentrate on the hopes, innocence, and simplicity of childhood. We cast Andrea, the son of our former drummer Cello and his partner Greta, adding another layer of depth to the track by including close friends and loved ones." (continue)

Newcastle-based stoner rock power trio Dunes announce the release of their third studio album "Land of the Blind" this January 17th on Ripple Music, and unleash their new single "Voodoo" featuring High Desert Queen frontman Ryan Garney. The band also announced a full winter tour, kicking off on January 25th in Manchester.
About the song, Dunes say: "Voodoo is about those times when you feel you 'can't do right for doing wrong' as the saying goes, you try but it still goes belly up anyway. The track features Ryan Garney from High Desert Queen, we played together when they first came over to the UK in 2022 and we've been great friends since then. When we toured together in 2023 he joined us on stage a bunch of times, so when it came to writing and recording the new album we figured it'd be fun to have him sing on a song. We gave him free rein to add some tasty backing vocals and we were stoked with what he sent back!" (continue)
