TORONTO, CANADA (August 26, 2024) — \u00a0At some point in your life you just have to take account for your actions and face the music. PROPHETS OF ADDICTION mainman Lesli Sanders has taken that to heart. PROPHETS OF ADDICTION\u2019s fourth album, Face the Music is set for a release on 25 October via BraveWords Records. The first single, Superhero, from the upcoming album will be released 27 September.<\/p>\n

Kicking things off with the downright dirty \u201cFlavor of the Danger,\u201d the listener is immediately clued in to what they\u2019re getting with Face the Music, an album loaded with catchy late 70s inspired glam punk n roll riffs, powerful and emotionally resonant vocals and a clever lyrical output. \u201cLet\u2019s Get High\u201d sees the band slide slightly into a melodic goth route ala Sisters of Mercy. The song isn\u2019t a drug reference, but a \u201crecollection of the excitement that a new record would bring as a teenager and after the long wait finally able to hear it for the first time,\u201d says Sanders. The band\u2019s take on the Rod Stewart classic \u201cMaggie May\u201d is nothing short of punk magnificence, The band had the opportunity to play the track for drum legend Carmine Appice, who played with Stewart from 1976 – 1982. Appice was so impressed that he asked, \u201cwould you mind if I send this to Rod?\u201d The album\u2019s lead single \u201cSuperhero\u201d comes complete with a hook that won\u2019t leave your head for days. \u201cSuperhero is a song I have been sitting on for a few years and wasn’t going to record until the right musicians were put in place, realizing the potential. I finally found that group of musicians,\u201d the frontman states.<\/p>\n

Face the Music, PROPHETS OF ADDICTION\u2019s debut for Bravewords Records was recorded between 2022 and 2023 in Seattle, WA and Las Vegas, NV and produced, mixed and mastered by Phil Soussan (bass player for Ozzy Osbourne, Billy idol and more). Drummer Wayne Stokely says of the album, \u201cWe wanted to make a classic 70’s style rock n’ roll album without losing our raw and punky vibe, but with a modern 2024 production. There’s not a lot of records out there like this one, so I think we achieved our goal. The songs speak for themselves,\u201d while Sanders adds \u201cthis is the record I have been wanting to record for years. The feel is right, the musicianship is right, the songs are right and now the time is right for you all to give us your thoughts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the band\u2019s signing with hotshot upstart label Bravewords, Sanders declares \u201cWe were looking for the right label and the search was extensive, the most important aspect to me was getting it out there for people to hear \u2013 otherwise, what’s the point, right?\u201d while Stokely adds, \u201cI’ve known Tim and Giles for years now. Plus, I’m already signed to the label with another act so it seemed like a natural fit.\u201d<\/p>\n
