The group demonstrates how they've skillfully honed their ability to translate their raw live energy into a recording." - Billboard

"Gusty, blistering rock sounds." - Relix


Nashville-based rock band Goodbye June takes Budweiser behind the scenes on the set of their music video for the track "Good Side" talking about their beginnings, struggles in the industry, and what the American dream means to them. The band recently wrote the track "Liberty Mother" featured in Budweiser's "Brewed Across America" commercialPRESS HERE to watch the interview on Rolling Stone.

The psychedelic and colorful video for "Good Side," directed by Tyler Dunning Evans, trails the band as they embark on a pilgrimage to the "good side" and highlights the song's mind-bending guitar riffs coupled with hypnotizing vocals. PRESS HERE to watch "Good Side." 

"We wanted the video for 'Good Side' to portray the beauty and color of what life and beyond may be. This was the most fun we've had shooting a video in a while. Our first voyage in the world of green screen. Enjoy." - Goodbye June
 
The band will also end the year by joining southern rock band Whiskey Myers and rock band Greta Van Fleet on the road for select dates in December as well as a hometown show in Nashville, TN. See below for a complete schedule.
 
Raised in West Tennessee and Southern Indiana, cousins Landon Milbourn (lead vocals,) Brandon Qualkenbush (rhythm guitar, backing vocals,) and Tyler Baker (lead guitar) came together after the death of Baker's brother and made a decision to chase a dream - and proceed no matter the cost. If not reckless, the reality of struggling to get by gives the lacerating, guitar-driven music a grittiness that's nothing short of broken glass. Focusing on writing songs, mastering their instruments and really stripping away the sludgy build-up so many bands think is important, Goodbye June hit upon the essence of their uniquely aggressive sound.
 
After touring the U.S. incessantly, their hard-hitting songs were placed on Madden 17, Wrestlemania (WWE), NHL All Access broadcasts as well as NFL and ESPN College Football broadcasts. With the EP Danger in the Morning, their focus was strengthened and their indie label Cotton Valley Music found a partner in Interscope. The group's debut album Magic Valley was released on May 5, 2017 via Cotton Valley/Interscope Records.

The eight-track double EP, From The Fires combines four new tracks recorded in September at Rust Belt Studios in Detroit – two new original songs, “Talk on the Street” and “Edge of Darkness,” as well as two covers, Sam Cooke’s emotional “A Change Is Gonna Come” and “Meet On The Ledge" by the late 60’s folk rock band Fairport Convention – with the four songs from the band’s debut EP, Black Smoke Rising, released earlier this year. From The Fires was produced by the same duo that helmed Black Smoke Rising, Al Sutton and Marlon Young. As Greta Van Fleet vocalist Josh Kiszka said, “These eight songs belong together as they share a theme of basic humanity.”

FROM THE FIRES TRACK LISTING:
01. Safari Song
02. Edge of Darkness
03. Flower Power
04. A Change Is Gonna Come
05. Highway Tune
06. Meet On The Ledge
07. Talk On the Street
08. Black Smoke Rising

The four new recordings shine a light on some of the band members’ earliest musical influences, the blues, soul and funk of artists like Muddy Waters, Joe Cocker, Sam & Dave, Howlin’ Wolf and Wilson Pickett. As Screamer magazine said in its From The Fires review, “These new tunes show how much Greta Van Fleet is really capable of and how deep the talent runs."

According to Josh, "Edge of Darkness” is about "the bravery behind the compassion that we feel for each other. One of the lyrics is ‘I’ve got love in my heart,’ and I think, as a global community, it’s a spiritual thing to share all that we have together. Giving love is giving power."
 
Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” is one that has special meaning for the band. When Josh and twin brother/guitarist Jake first heard it, they thought it was a song they’d like to cover, but never did. Fast forward a few years and ironically, co-producer Marlon Young suggested they cover it for this release. “All of us are very affected by oppression of any type,” said Josh, “cultural, racial, sexual. I’ve never experienced what Sam Cooke did so I have to admit, it was a little difficult for me, getting behind the mic, but I did it because singing this song meant a lot to me.” As Icon vs Icon wrote about this track, “This is where the group truly shows they are like no other. This isn’t simply a rock song, or even blues, it’s a gospel ballad that will move even the toughest soul.”
 
Josh has always connected with folk songs, with their beautiful melodies and harmonies and is a big fan of late ‘60s folk-rock groups like Spyro Gyra, Pentangle and Fairport Convention. “Meet On The Ledge” was composed by Fairport Convention’s Richard Thompson. "I was on a train going to New York,” he recalls, "and on the way, I listened to an entire decade of Fairport Convention’s music. ‘Meet On The Ledge’ was the fourth or fifth track I heard and it caught me by surprise. I was absolutely entranced; the verse and chorus blew my mind.”
 
About "Talk On The Street”, Josh describes it as "a fun song, full of catchy riffs and dynamic drums, kind of an ambiguous wild ride, a real rock’n’roll song.”
 
Greta Van Fleet did some writing and recording last month, then too some well-deserved time off for Thanksgiving, and are currently in the last weeks of its first-ever U.S. tour with all headline dates sold out in advance.
