Regarding the song itself, following such difficult and tumultuous times that we have all been through over the past three years, I thought it was important to put out a record that rejuvenates people. Although we\u2019re still struggling in many ways, I wanted to say that it\u2019s time to move on and look forward to a better day. The chorus of \u2018Brand New Day\u2019 &#8211; \u2018I\u2019m alive, I\u2019m feeling fine\u2019 &#8211; is about getting through one of the weirdest eras the world has ever seen with positivity and hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can stream and purchase Brand New Day at:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/johnnyoneil.hearnow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/johnnyoneil.hearnow.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the same time the video was released, the lead single was serviced to rock and metal radio around the world.

After more than a decade of achieving many of his musical dreams, including the \u201880s with Dare Force, O\u2019Neil decided to go back to school at the age of 28 to get his GED. He went on to earn his Bachelor\u2019s degree from the University of Minnesota, followed by a Master\u2019s degree and eventually a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from The Ohio State University.<\/p>\n<p>Now a solopreneur in private practice as a forensic psychologist, O\u2019Neil conducts Independent Psychological Evaluations (IPEs) of claimants involved in workers&#8217; comp and personal injury cases, and provides courtroom testimony as an expert witness \u2013 a fascinating occupation to be sure. In fact, he found himself interviewing dozens of Minneapolis police officers who filed disability claims due to PTSD in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, for O\u2019Neil, playing music is an invaluable form of therapy and expressing his emotions. \u201cI don\u2019t have a choice, I have to play music,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s how I\u2019m wired and how I preserve my sanity. It\u2019s therapy for me. I\u2019ll be performing until my last gasp.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neil fell in love with music at the age of five, begging his parents to buy him a guitar after seeing The Beatles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, which they finally did when he turned eight years old. The stars aligned when his future Dare Force bandmate, Brian Bart, moved in across the street when he was nine. \u201cWe had a tussle over something silly in the front yard, then my mom invited us in for a piece of cake; we\u2019ve been thick as thieves ever since,\u201d O\u2019Neil says.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Neil and Bart immediately bonded over their mutual love of music (including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Winter, Steppenwolf, and Creedence Clearwater Revival), and quickly formed a band together. One of their first gigs was at Sunny Hollow Elementary School in 6th grade, where Bob Dylan\u2019s younger brother, David Zimmerman, was their music teacher and introduced their band to an audience of 500-some fellow classmates.<\/p>\n<p>Infusing his songwriting with his personal values of tolerance, compassion and empathy throughout his career, O\u2019Neil believes that an important part of an artist\u2019s job is to not only reflect what\u2019s going on in the world, but also to comment on it and influence it. To this end, O\u2019Neil\u2019s driving rock tunes go beyond being simply upbeat, feel-good rock \u2018n roll, to songs that really have something to say to the world. <u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>DARE FORCE:\u00a0(Johnny O&#8217;Neil&#8217;s previous band Dare Force)<\/p>\n<p>Dare Force was a legendary hard rock\/heavy metal band based in Minneapolis that was initially founded by Johnny and Brian Bart when they were 18 years old. Dare Force released three albums in the 1980s and performed in concert with numerous national acts such as KISS, Ted Nugent, Triumph, Kansas, UFO, the Joe Perry Project, and Ratt, as well as headlining in venues throughout the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. Dare Force also had several songs that received heavy airplay on rock radio stations throughout the midwestern US in the 1980s. Dare Force released its third album, &#8220;Firepower,&#8221; with a reformed version of the band in 1989. The original lineup performed occasional reunion gigs after the long run of the original band ended in 1987, but the original version of Dare Force stopped performing live altogether after their last reunion show in 2002. Dare Force reformed yet again with a return to a four-piece lineup in 2017, and released its fourth album, \u201cCallin\u2019 Your Name,\u201d in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><u><strong>WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA:<\/strong><\/u><br \/>\nWebsite: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.JohnnyONeil.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.JohnnyONeil.com<\/a><br \/>\nFB: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Facebook.com\/JohnnyONeil\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.Facebook.com\/JohnnyONeil<\/a><br \/>\nOfficial Instagram: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Instagram.com\/Johnny_ONeilOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.Instagram.com\/Johnny_ONeilOfficial<\/a><br \/>\nBandcamp: <a href=\"https:\/\/johnnyoneil.bandcamp.com\/releases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/johnnyoneil.bandcamp.com\/releases<\/a><br \/>\nYouTube: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/JohnnyONeilOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/JohnnyONeilOfficial<\/a><br \/>\nTwitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnnyONeil16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnnyONeil16\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">For all inquiries, contact:<br \/>\nMICHAEL BRANDVOLD MARKETING &amp; MANAGEMENT<br \/>\nMichael Brandvold | me@mikebrandvold.com | 415-200-8483<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Michael Brandvold is a freelance music industry consultant based in Northern California.
