Robert Jon & The Wreck Unleash New Single ‘Sittin' Pretty,' An Explosive Track That Captures the Wild Side Of the Night
LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, February 7, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Southern California rock powerhouse Robert Jon & The Wreck are back with their latest high-octane single, 'Sittin' Pretty,' now available on all major digital platforms. The track, recorded in Savannah, GA, and produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Rival Sons), delivers a raw and electrifying energy that showcases the band's signature grit and swagger. Stream 'Sittin' Pretty' HERE. WATCH The Official Music Video.
With its ferocious riffing, searing guitar solos, growling Hammond B3 organ, and relentless rhythm section, 'Sittin' Pretty' is a hard-rocking warning to those who cross paths with someone who's as captivating as they are dangerous.
''Sittin' Pretty' was the working title that was birthed from a rocking jam in the writing room,' explains frontman Robert Jon. 'It's a hard-hitting track that warns the next one in line that she's dangerous. With powerful riffs and scorching guitars, the song references the wild nights that lead to the morning when those 'church bells are ringing.''
'This song went through a number of different iterations before we landed on the version you hear today,' adds guitarist Henry James. 'I had a heavy rock, call-and-response riff with a vocal melody that we had been jamming on for a while. We built a structure around it, and it quickly became one of our favorite ideas going into the studio. In his own inimitable way, producer Dave Cobb worked his magic on the arrangement, having us shift a few things around and speed the song up a bit. We rolled tape, and in just a few takes, we had our basic track! Then we layered in guitar, vocal, and keyboard overdubs, and the vision for 'Sittin' Pretty' was complete. What we landed on was a rollicking, aggressive banger with furious drums, a flying bassline, and pure vintage guitar pyrotechnics!'
'Sittin' Pretty' offers the next look into a new chapter for Robert Jon & The Wreck, as the band continues rolling out a slate of fresh material for their new studio album in 2025. Following the release of 'Ashes in the Snow'—a stirring track highlighting the band's reflective side—'Sittin' Pretty' shifts gears with a more hard-hitting, high-energy approach. Blending vintage influences with a modern edge, the track further showcases the band's range and dynamic songwriting.
Currently, amid their Winter U.S. Tour, Robert Jon & The Wreck continue to bring their electrifying live show to audiences across the country. Following a monumental year that included the release of Red Moon Rising Deluxe Edition and a triumphant European tour, the band is keeping the momentum going with a run of high-energy headline performances. The tour will lead into their upcoming appearances on the Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea X in March before they head back to Europe for a string of Spring 2025 tour dates.

Kylie Minogue apologises to fans after announcing health battle
Kylie Minogue has shared a health update with fans after finishing the UK leg of tour. The Australian singer has been forced to postpone a run of her upcoming European show dates. The 57-year-old who celebrated her birthday last week took to Instagram to share the news about her health battle. She explained: "Hi lovers, As some of you may know, a week ago we finished the UK leg of the Tension Tour. I made it over the finish line but unfortunately have succumbed to a viral infection (Hello laryngitis). "I've tried my best to recover fast to start our next run of shows on Monday but I am afraid it will take me some days to be well enough to get back on stage and perform my best for you." READ MORE: Red Arrows display locations and dates in 2025 READ MORE: Health officials share 'protect yourself' message as people urged to take action The Padam Padam singer apologised to fans saying: "I'm so, SO sorry! I have no choice but to postpone the shows in Berlin, Lodz, Kaunas and Tallinn as scheduled." Kylie has urged people to keep hold of their tickets as she hopes to be able to reschedule the dates and has told fans she will share an update soon. Finishing her message, she told fans: "I'll miss you next week. And I can't wait to see you." According to the NHS, laryngitis is when your voice box or vocal cords in the throat become irritated or swollen. It usually clears itself within 1 to 2 weeks. Laryngitis usually comes on suddenly and gets worse during the first three days. Symptoms include a hoarse voice, sometimes losing your voice, an irritating cough, needing to clear your throat and a sore throat. The popstar performed over a dozen shows in the UK, with the last date being in Glasgow on June 6. As well as touring, Kylie has been busy launching two new fragrances, Lovers Noir and Lovers Fleur. The Grammy-awarding artist returned to the M&S Bank Arena on Thursday, May 23, six years on from her last show at the venue in 2019. The Tension Tour kicked off in Australia and has made its way through Asia and eventually to the UK. Thousands gathered at the venue in Liverpool to dance the night away, with many decked out in sequins and Kylie Minogue t-shirts in celebration of the event. An unbelievable night of music, sequins and confetti, Kylie opened the incredible show with Lights Camera Action, followed by hits In Your Eyes and Get Outta My Way. Kylie closed the Liverpool show with 2023 hit Padam Padam and anthem Love At First Sight

Auckland City aiming to do amateur football proud in Bayern Munich mismatch
Were you looking for a symbol to exemplify the gulf that lies between Auckland City Football Club and their rivals at the Club World Cup, you would find it at Kiwitea Street, the team's home ground. Hard up against the Sandringham suburb it serves, the roofs of the surrounding city's single-storey bungalows are visible from the one enclosed stand, and to the north there is nothing but the modest clubhouse and some incidental shrubbery to impede views of the Sky Tower's lonely tenancy in the distant skyline. This, certainly, is no towering football cathedral of the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester City call home. Advertisement Related: Borrowed culture and a plasticine burger – welcome to the Club World Cup and almost-football | Barney Ronay On Sunday, the team more used to this humble environment and the 100-to-500 fans who usually turn out to watch will line up against one of the world's most famous and decorated clubs, Bayern Munich, Auckland City's first opponents in a group also containing Benfica and Boca Juniors. 'To be honest, I don't know if we have ever seen a matchup like this in sport,' the assistant coach Adrià Casals tells the Guardian from Chattanooga, Tennessee. 'But we can only play the game in front of us.' And what a game, one that represents the chance for footballers of more modest talents to test themselves against some of the world's best: Thomas Müller and Harry Kane could find themselves sharing the pitch with a genuine democratic cross-section of New Zealand life. 'All sorts,' says the captain, Mario Ilich, of a team containing a barber, a teacher, a real-estate agent and university students. Ilich himself works in the sales department of Coca-Cola, a job around which he moulds his football commitments, training three or four times a week after work and making frequent demands on his employer's goodwill in order to travel overseas. 'I've taken all my annual leave for this trip, so I won't be going on a holiday with my partner this year, that's for sure,' he says. The team qualified thanks to its long-standing domination of Oceania's Champions League, which they have won a record 13 times, most recently by beating Papua New Guinea's Hekari United in the Solomon Islands at the end of another leave-sapping football trip earlier this year. And while there are two professional clubs in New Zealand – the recently inaugurated Auckland Football Club and Wellington Phoenix – they compete in the Australian A-League, and, because they are not allowed to play in the Asian Confederation's continental competitions, they have no opportunity to qualify for the Club World Cup. Advertisement As it stands, this year marks the 12th time Auckland City have flown the Oceania flag at the Club World Cup — the team came third in 2014 — but because of its new group-based format, Sunday represents the first time they will meet a European team. The club's qualification has been assured since late 2023, but for Ilich the prospect of playing in the biggest game of his life has hardly sunk in. Even to see the Auckland City crest arranged next to that of Bayern Munich, he says, seems peculiar and much of the side's conversations have been about playing against teams they had grown up admiring as fans. Ilich is 'under no illusions' as to the size of the challenge, even if he seemed to allow for the chance of a fairytale. 'We all have a dream and that is to win football games, whatever game you're in. We know the task at hand is very difficult, but we want to just go out and make it as hard as possible for the opposition, and to just give the best performance we can.' For Casals, a Barcelona native who was 'running away from the game' when he settled in New Zealand only to be sucked back into its orbit by the club, Auckland City are playing not just for themselves, but for the vast majority of players worldwide who never get anywhere near the professional level. Advertisement 'We represent like 95% of the world's footballers. If we can stay true to who we are, if we can be brave, then we can make a lot of people proud of us and everything we represent as an amateur club from a small nation in the middle of nowhere.' At Kiwitea Street, as Saturday morning's rain retreated in a veil of towering clouds, a couple hundred fans watched as an Auckland City team robbed of their entire first-choice squad went down 2-1 to Waiheke United in New Zealand's national knockout tournament, the Chatham Cup. But thoughts were already turning to 4am Monday morning, New Zealand time, when players that fans were used to sharing a post-game drink with will make their cameos on football's global stage. Some hoped Auckland City would have a chance to express themselves, others that their team wouldn't be thrashed, that results wouldn't give succour to those opposed to Oceania's direct entry. Half a world away, Ilich and his teammates are doing their best to make those hopes a reality. 'We're fully focused on our performance and our plan, and on making sure everyone's on the same page. That way we can hopefully give the best representation of Oceania, of New Zealand, of our city and our club.'

‘If you're a fascist, then get a Tesla': Neil Young's new album takes potshots Elon Musk
After weighing in behind Bruce Springsteen in his internationally reported takedown of President Trump's government onstage at Manchester Arena last month, this other left-leaning giant of American rock from the 1970s voiced fears that he, having been a consistent critic of Trump, chiefly over the issue of climate-change denial, may face problems regaining entry to his home nation following his European tour this summer. At this febrile moment, one might've expected Young, now 79, and as outspoken as ever – he made headlines last year after apparently refusing to sign up for Glastonbury 2025 on account of its BBC-driven corporatisation (he now appears to be headlining on Saturday night!) – to fill his latest long-player, his 46th studio outing, with polemical rantings, but as any long-standing fan knows, Young remains creatively wilful, and rarely serves up what might be expected of him at a given time. In recent years, he has been deluging the collector's market with archival releases, many of them 'new' old albums which he shelved years ago. In amongst all that, however, interested parties may be forgiven for not having noticed that Young had found a productive groove with a reconstituted line-up of his beloved, amps-on-11 backing band, Crazy Horse, releasing three new records with them, culminating with 2022's Rick Rubin-produced World Record. There, on Chevrolet, this unflagging automobile enthusiast wrung his hands about lusting after a vintage gas-guzzler. Further back, around his investment in a hybrid-electric model Lincoln, he wrote at length about the driver's responsibility to their children's health and survival on 2009's Fork In The Road, and perhaps the most immediately ear-catching moment on Talkin To The Trees arrives on Let's Roll Again, where, against clanging electric guitar chords, he urges America's automobile manufacturing giants, by name – Ford, GM and Chrysler – 'to build us something useful, something that won't kill our kids – come on America, let's roll again…on down the highway'. Alongside that responsible, depoliticised messaging, Young suddenly seems to find it hard to avoid needling at the Trump administration. 'China's way ahead, they're building clean cars,' he adds, knowing the mention of China will not be music to the president's ears. 'C'mon America, let's cover our backs, protect our children,' he goes on, before taking a clear potshot at Elon Musk. 'If you're a fascist, then get a Tesla: if it's electric then it doesn't matter. If you're a democrat: then chase your freedom, get whatever you want and taste your freedom.' Behind those words, of course, Young easily could've ramped up explicit themes of political dissent. Instead, his mind seems to be focused on enjoying the natural wonders of his ranch in Northern California, as well as, in the track Family Life, the domestic happiness he finds surrounded by his children and grandkids as he writes songs, and sings them for their approval, ' and also 'singing for my best wife ever, the best cook in the world' – a great review, indeed, for Darryl Hannah, the movie actor and activist, whom he married in 2018. Though second track Dark Mirage finds his 'new' band The Chrome Hearts – a mutation of his other one of late, Promise of the Real, with master soul keyboardist Spooner Oldham added – squalling into fierce feedback, as Young momentarily dips into lingering anger from his mid-'10s divorce – by and large, The Chrome Hearts are entrusted with summoning the kind of golden country-rock sound usually associated with Young's Harvest series – rustling acoustic guitars, blissful ivory-tinkling topped with Neil's wheezing harmonica, which light up rustic gems like First Fire Of Winter, the exquisite title track and the warm-hearted Thankful, As such, there's so much to enjoy here for long-standing fans – a mellow soundtrack perhaps for the four-wheel pilgrimage down to Glastonbury, with some fittingly thought-provoking messaging on automotive responsibility going forwards. In a week that has seen the passing of two of Young's West Coast peers, it's great to hear him sounding invigorated, domestically happy and creatively on song. Andrew Perry Prior to a brace of covers albums in 2023, it's fair to say that Belfast singer Van Morrison was in his 'late life super-grumpy' phase. Railing against everything from lockdown to scientists, he didn't hold back. My personal favourite from this era was a 2021 song called Why Are You on Facebook?, which contained the lines 'Why do you need second-hand friends? … Get a life.' And this from the sage who gave us Into The Mystic. Well, Van the Man is back doing what he does best. Remembering Now, his 47th album, is 14 songs of beautiful and reflective music addressing aging, romance and a sense of yearning for the landscapes and landmarks that made us who we are. It's 64 minutes of soulful blues and country folk, augmented by string arrangements by Fiachra Trench, who wrote the string parts for The Pogues' Fairytale of New York and worked with Morrison on his 1989 classic Avalon Sunset, to which Remembering Now can easily be compared. Folk star Seth Lakeman adds violin to three tracks. The album opens with Down to Joy, which soundtracked Kenneth Branagh's 2021 film Belfast and was nominated for a 'best original song' Oscar (Morrison lost out to Billie Eilish's Bond theme). Once In A Lifetime Feelings is one of three tracks with lyrics by Don Black, who's written for everyone from Meat Loaf to Michael Jackson. The song finds Morrison driving down to Monte Carlo with 'so much to say' to a loved one. It's fantastic. Stomping Ground sees the 79-year-old pleading to return to Belfast, while the closing nine-minute Stretching Out is simply swooning. The highlight is Haven't Lost My Sense of Wonder, which has touches of the awe that late songwriter Bill Fay saw in the world as he aged. 'Had my fill, 'cause I've been through the mill/ Now I'm saying 'Peace, be still,'' Morrison sings over lavish gospel-tinged soul. Under (hopefully) sunny skies, these songs will sound a treat when Morrison supports Neil Young in Hyde Park next month (along with Yusuf/ Cat Stevens). A lush return to form.
