Other Lives Deliver Latest Single "What's It Gonna Take" From Forthcoming New Album Volume V Out October 10 via Play It Again Sam

Press shot credit: Johnny LaVallee Today American indie-rock outfit, Other Lives release their brand new single, "What’s It Gonna Take", the latest to be taken from their forthcoming 5th studio album Volume V - out via Play It Again Sam on October 10.   "What’s It Gonna Take" was written immediately after the Ukraine invasion and taps into universal feelings.     Frontman Jesse Tabish has said, “’What’s It Gonna Take’ is not a pacifist song, it’s about defending your homeland against aggression.”     Listen to "What's It Gonna Take" HERE Volume V signifies the latest chapter in the ongoing story of Other Lives, their fifth record of magnificent musical and emotional depth. From the first notes of previous single "Mystic," it’s clear that the cinematic breadth of their arrangements and melodies has risen several dynamic notches, with a fuller orchestrated reach and more towering drama across the album’s eight songs and two instrumentals - evidence of the band’s hunger to keep progressing while retaining the essence of what makes Other Lives so unique and irresistible.     The band’s creative core, multi-instrumentalists Jesse Tabish (also their lead singer), Jonathon Mooney and Josh Onstott, emerged in the early Noughties from the rural township of Stillwater, north of Oklahoma City, west of Tulsa and east of the Carl Blackwell and Lake McMurtry lakes, from where they made their self-titled debut album and 2011’s Tamer Animals, their debut album for PIAS that inspired MOJO magazine to label them, “The next must-have pastoral American sensation.”       The trio then moved out west to Portland where they recorded their 2014 album Rituals and then 2020’s fourth album For Their Love, mostly captured in the vicinity of Oregon’s Cooper Mountain region, with Tabish’s wife Kim becoming a vital part of Other Lives, adding not just instrumental and songwriting skills but multi-layered backing vocals to enrichen Jesse’s gorgeous plaintive presence.       When the pandemic isolated the Tabishs from the other band members, the couple collaborated to create Jesse’s solo album Cowboy Ballads Part 1, released in 2022 after they had moved back to Stillwater. It’s also the location for Volume V, even though Jesse and Kim have moved on to Cleveland, Ohio while Jonathon lives in New York City and Josh in Los Angeles.  Album artwork & tracklist:

1. Mystic 2. Versailles 3. What’s It Gonna Take 4. Heading West 5. One For The Kids 6. Show Us Some Love 7. Outro 8. Cisa Cisa 9. Read My Mind 10. The Wake

Oasis add two extra Wembley Stadium shows due to phenomenal public public demand on Sept. 27 and 28, 2025

TWO EXTRA WEMBLEY STADIUM SHOWS ADDED DUE TO PHENOMENAL PUBLIC DEMAND ON SEPTEMBER 27TH AND 28TH TICKETS TO BE SOLD BY STAGGERED INVITATION ONLY BALLOT PROCESS

After receiving unprecedented demand for tickets for their UK and Ireland stadium tour, Oasis now announce two further Wembley Stadium shows on September 27th and 28th.   The Oasis Live ‘25 tour was the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland, with over 10 million fans from 158 countries queuing to buy tickets. However, such intense demand saw all ticket platforms struggling to cope, resulting in immense frustration and disappointment for fans who missed out after queuing for many hours.    As a small step towards making amends for the situation, a special invitation only ballot ticket sale strategy has been devised for these two shows. Applications to join the ballot will be opened first to the many fans who were unsuccessful in the initial on sale with Ticketmaster.   Inevitably interest in this tour is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to schedule enough shows to fulfil public demand. But this ticket sale strategy will make the process far smoother for fans by reducing the stress and time it takes to obtain one of the hottest tickets of our time.   As for the well reported complaints many buyers had over the operation of Ticketmaster’s dynamic ticketing: it needs to be made clear that Oasis leave decisions on ticketing and pricing entirely to their promoters and management, and at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used. While prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations. All parties involved did their utmost to deliver the best possible fan experience, but due to the unprecedented demand this became impossible to achieve.   The UK and Ireland leg of Oasis Live ‘25 - their only European shows in 2025 - now run as below:   JULY 2025 4th - Cardiff, Principality Stadium (SOLD OUT) 5th - Cardiff, Principality Stadium (SOLD OUT) 11th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 12th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 16th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 19th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 20th - Manchester, Heaton Park (SOLD OUT) 25th - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 26th - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 30th - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT)   AUGUST 2025 2nd - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 3rd - London, Wembley Stadium (SOLD OUT) 8th - Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium (SOLD OUT) 9th - Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium (SOLD OUT) 12th - Edinburgh, Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium (SOLD OUT) 16th - Dublin, Croke Park (SOLD OUT) 17th - Dublin, Croke Park (SOLD OUT)   SEPTEMBER 2025 27th - London, Wembley Stadium (JUST ADDED) 28th - London, Wembley Stadium (JUST ADDED)   Follow Oasis: Spotify | Apple Music | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | X |  Website

Creed's multi-platinum-selling ‘Greatest Hits’ set to make its wide debut on vinyl

American rockers Creed's multi-platinum-selling "Greatest Hits" is set to make its debut on vinyl on May 24, 2024...Robert Kinsler 

The 13-track collection spans the GRAMMY®-winning band’s first three albums and features such enduring favorites as “Higher,” “With Arms Wide Open,” “One Last Breath,” “My Own Prison,” and “My Sacrifice”

 

Recently reunited band set to tour throughout the year, including headlining spots on the Summer of ’99 Cruise and Summer of ’99 Tour

Los Angeles, CA (March 26, 2024)—As CREED readies to embark on their first headlining shows in more than a decade, Craft Recordings celebrates the recently reunited band and their enduring catalog of music with the first wide vinyl release of their multiplatinum-selling Greatest Hits collection. Originally issued in 2004 as a limited-edition pressing, the 13-track compilation spans the GRAMMY and American Music Award-winning band’s first three albums (1997’s My Own Prison, 1999’s Human Clay, and 2001’s Weathered) and features such chart-topping singles as “Higher,” “One Last Breath,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and “My Sacrifice.” As a special bonus, the 2-LP set features an etching on Side D that mirrors the cover art.   Arriving May 24 and available for pre-order today, Greatest Hits can also be found in a variety of limited exclusives, including Green Smoke vinyl (via CREED’s official store), Orange Smoke (Craft Recordings), Red Smoke (Target), Gray Smoke (Best Buy), and Blue Smoke (Walmart).The collection is also available to stream/download now.   To gear up for the reunion, the band are remastering their iconic music videos in HD. Head to CREED’s official YouTube channel to watch the newly restored video for “Higher,” and stay tuned for more to special announcements to follow.   ***   With over 53 million albums sold worldwide, CREED remains one of modern rock’s most successful acts. Formed in 1994 by the prolific writing team of Scott Stapp (vocals) and Mark Tremonti (guitar), plus bassist Brian Marshall and drummer Scott Phillips, the Tallahassee, FL band skyrocketed to international fame, thanks to their winning combination of anthemic hooks, rousing guitar riffs, and introspective lyricism.   Greatest Hits captures CREED’s unparalleled journey through memorable singles from their first three albums. The collection opens with selections from the band’s 1997 debut, My Own Prison. The album, which was later certified 6x Platinum, introduced CREED with tracks like “One,” “What’s This Life For,” and “My Own Prison”—all of which broke the Top Ten of Billboard’s Alternative and Mainstream Rock charts. With more than 15 million copies sold worldwide, My Own Prison stands among the most successful debuts of all time.   The story continues with 1999’s Human Clay. One of the best-selling albums of all time in the US, the Diamond-certified LP made CREED one of the biggest acts in the world, thanks to such stratospheric hits as “With Arms Wide Open,” which earned a GRAMMY for Best Rock Song and marked the band’s first No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Higher,” which spent an astonishing 57 weeks on the US pop chart, where it peaked at No.7. The album, which has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, also includes the fan favorites “What If” (featured in the soundtrack to Scream 3) and “Are You Ready.”   2001’s Weathered—which marked the band’s final studio album until 2009’s Full Circle—found CREED pushing the boundaries of their work through deeply personal lyricism and some of their heaviest material yet, including the Top 10 hits “My Sacrifice” and “One Last Breath,” as well as tracks like “Bullets” and “Weathered.” The album, which sat atop the US charts for a historic consecutive eight-week run, has since been certified 6x Platinum.   Now, 30 years into their incredible journey, CREED are bigger than ever. Late last year, the Texas Rangers made “Higher” their unofficial anthem, as it spurred them to their first World Series win. More recently, the song appeared in a high-profile Paramount+ Super Bowl commercial, while a NASCAR Daytona 500 campaign also incorporates the hit single. Along the way, CREED have gained a new generation of fans, thanks to countless TikTok videos that feature their songs.   In July 2023, after an 11-year hiatus, CREED announced their long-awaited reunion. In the months ahead, fans will have multiple opportunities to see the band live, beginning with a headlining spot on the sold-out Summer of ’99 Cruise. They’ll continue their headlining run on the Summer of ’99 Tour, where they will be joined by such acts as Finger Eleven, 3 Doors Down, Hinder, Fuel, and Daughtry. Later this year, CREED look forward to celebrating the 25th anniversary of Human Clay, while touring North America throughout the end of the year.

The more than one billion streams between “Higher,” “My Sacrifice,” “One Last Breath,” “With Arms Wide Open,” and “My Own Prison” on Spotify alone is a testament to the band’s enduring power. Nearly 30 years after CREED’s formation, the ubiquitous anthems composed by singer Scott Stapp and guitarist Mark Tremonti, performed for millions of fans around the world together with drummer Scott Phillips and bassist Brian Marshall, are part of modern rock and alternative’s DNA. My Own Prison (1997) is one of the late 20th century’s biggest debuts. Human Clay (1999) and Weathered (2001) both entered the Billboard 200 chart at No.1. Full Circle (2009), released after a hiatus, bowed at No.1 on the Top Rock, Hard Rock, and Alternative charts and No.2 on the Billboard 200. With more than 53 million albums sold worldwide, CREED stands alongside iconic bands like Van Halen, Guns N’ Roses, and Metallica as one of an elite few hard rock outfits to earn RIAA Diamond-certified status, for more than 11 million sales of Human Clay in the United States. After an eleven-year hiatus, CREED officially reunited in July 2023 and announced that they would be headlining two different Summer of '99 cruise festivals in April 2024 which resulted in immediate sell-outs and more North American tour dates this year.
