    Industry 45 From The Drum Throne Feat. Mike Fitz (Bad Marriage)

    “Match Made In Hell,” the debut full-length album from Bad Marriage via RFK Media and Amplified Distribution, officially hit the streets worldwide on Friday the 13th of March. Riding a massive wave of positive response to the presale campaign, over 30K immediate organic views on the official music video, and packed houses on tour, it seems the honeymoon has officially begun.  The first single/title track has already impacted Apple’s “Breaking Hard Rock” and “New In Rock” playlists. The release has already been front-page news on all the major rock media sites. And the hardcore fans (lovingly known as the “Bad Marriage Society”) are unanimously standing at the altar in praise as they begin to consummate this sonic love affair by cranking up the album over and over again.  CDs and vinyl LPs are available now at https://rfkmediashop.com and https://badmarriagemusic.com, and of course all major online retailers like Amazon, Tower Records, and Target. The CD includes an extra bonus track that wouldn’t fit on the vinyl version, plus 12 other songs joined forever in unholy matrimony on this timeless collection. The LP with gatefold is pressed on mixed ‘blood moon’ colored 140-gram vinyl.  This powerhouse band out of Boston has been winning over the fans and the media for several years now and is well-positioned for the big time, and the new album “Match Made In Hell” fully embraces the spirit of their classic roots while capturing a modern active rock sound. BadMarriage – guitarists Mike Fitz and Tommy Skeoch (who was a founding member of Tesla), vocalist Jonny Paquin, bassist Todd Boisvert, and drummer Michael Delaney – is already on the road and plans to stay there throughout 2026, with a full calendar of tour dates leading up to two appearances at this year’s Monsters On The Mountain rock festival August 22/23, on the bill with Bret Michaels, Night Ranger, and more.

    Industry 45 From the Drum Throne feat Brian Hamilton (Drummer Suicide Star)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cihnyk5LyLE&list=RDCihnyk5LyLE&start_radio=1 Suicide Star Live at OLG Fallsview Casino  Formed in late 2020 and comprised of veteran musicians Rob Barton, Dakota Prince, Aki Maris, Gary Borden and Brian Hamilton, Suicide Star has a dynamic and cutting-edge hard rock sound, mixing the familiar with the new while delivering a heavy bite with catchy ear-splitting melodies. Having played in multiple bands and recording acts as well as touring through Canada and parts of the U.S. Suicide Star are no strangers to success. Aki and Brian are ex members of long-time recording act, Step Echo, who's two studio albums gained considerable popularity in their native Canada and overseas. Gary Borden has had prolific success playing as a member of such bands as Sass Jordan, Helix and Gowan.  Dakota Prince, also familiar with the spotlight has shared the stage with such bands as George Canyon, Big Sugar and Headley while having his music played country wide on such stations as 97.7 HTZ FM and 91.3 FM.  When Step Echo split in late 2018 Brian and Aki felt they still had some music left in them to write and after a brief hiatus, decided the time was right for something new.  In early 2020, excited about the prospect of a fresh start, the band needed a new lead vocalist. Founding member and drummer of Step Echo, Brian Hamilton, reached out to high school friend, Rob Barton--himself a veteran of the Ontario music scene who played alongside bands such as Collective Soul, Lee Aaron and Killer Dwarfs--asking if he would be interested in providing lead vocals for a new project. Realizing he was enthusiastic to write and record again, Rob readily agreed. After a successful meeting with the guys over a few drinks on a local patio, Suicide Star was formed. A year in the making and recorded individually in their own homes, Suicide Star's debut album—aptly named Isolation—is a labor of love. It defies conventional categorization, while delivering a bombastic thrill ride most listeners would find pleasingly recognizable. With the recent release of their new single ‘Auntie Anxiety’ as a precursor to their second album entitled ‘Generation Doom’, Suicide Star will continue to bring their hard-hitting sound to stages throughout Ontario and beyond.
