Stone Sour have revealed that Audio Secrecy will be the title of their new album, which is slated for release later this summer. The band and producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice In Chains, Rush) are currently holed away at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, TN, where they're putting finishing touches on the much-buzzed-about record.
"Audio Secrecy is the summation of everything we want, everything we crave and everything we fight for," says lead singer Corey Taylor. "The dimensions go further than anything we've ever tried before. It's metal, rock, slow, soft, hard, fast, bitter, beautiful and most importantly, it's REAL. You can't get an album like this out of a band that doesn't exist. We're throwing caution out the damn window."

Welcome to Singled Out! where we ask artists to tell us the inside story of their latest single. Today Pete Harper from Harper Blynn tells us about "This Is It" from their brand new album "Loneliest Generation," which hits stores today. We now turn it over to Pete for the story:When we were making this record with David Kahne, we would go out to dinner every night. It would be David, J.Blynn, and me (Pete). One of the topics that we kept coming back to was artists and how they so often end up in a tragic spot. He's worked with a lot of them in varying degrees. Jeff Buckley, Sublime, Chris Whitley. The list goes on. David thought this had something to do with a songwriter writing a hit, then not wanting the world to know their secret. Somewhere in the DNA of a hit song is a special secret that resonates with the masses. Once everyone knows it, it's not your own anymore. It doesn't belong to you, the songwriter. The hit off of "Grace" was omitted because Jeff said it made him vomit to listen to it. "Forget Her" it's called. Anyway. I'm not saying that "This Is It" is necessarily a hit. But I am saying that I don't want to tell my secret. What I will say is that I wrote this in my very small apartment in the East Village, and that I probably had rats at the time and didn't realize it. This song was written not for someone, but to them. This song was meant to inspire action - telling someone in no uncertain terms to change their life. And why not just go ahead and do it NOW, because if you don't change something that you know is wrong immediately, you may never do it at all. That's the danger of inertia. Also, I will add that there is no better way to finish a song than for it to be something important that you actually want to say TO someone. Learn more about the band, listen to some songs from the new album, grab tour dates and more

Toy Soldiers are setting up for the release of their debut album, Whisper Down The Lane on May 18th via Mad Dragon Records.
Beginning as the brainchild of singer/guitarist Ron Gallo and drummer Mike Baurer, Toy Soldiers got its start relentlessly touring through the Philadelphia area performing honest Americana and blues influenced music. As the band gained notoriety they quickly picked up not only fans but additional band members, acquiring bassist Tyler Beck, singers Kate Foust, Vinchelle Woods and Josiah Wise, saxophonist Noah Skaroff, trumpeter Pete Veloski, guitarist Dan King, and pianist, singer and guitarist Zach Poyatt.
The immense growth of the band is attributed to undeniable drive from all members, who fused together to create an irresistible sound with unique and polished instrumentals. It's a sound so unmistakable, that Bruce Warren of influential Philly radio station WXPN called it "a righteous collection of rootsy, angly, craggly, soulful indie inspired songs that bring to mind Shangri-La era Kinks, Nashville Skyline era Dylan, Bright Eyes and the Black Keys, The Coasters and Carl Perkins. Rock it."
