one of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time, are experiencing a vibrant, full circle moment. The multi-platinum Juno Award-winning group—Scott Anderson (vocals), James Black (lead guitar, backing vocals), Rick Jackett (rhythm guitar), Sean Anderson (bass), Steve Molella (drums)—criss-crossed America last summer with long-time former labelmates Creed, revisiting the summer of ‘99.  

Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (@5fdp) is celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of a new album, “Best Of – Volume 1”, a collection of re-recorded versions of the band’s most iconic chart-topping hits, available everywhere now. The move to re-record the songs comes in response to the recent sale of the band’s original master recordings by their former label, an action made without their knowledge or the opportunity to reclaim their own work.

The band looks to continue that trend when they release their self-titled, eighth studio album next year via Napalm Records.   

A tour from Sevendust that has been over 2 decades in the making.  To celebrate the 21st anniversary of their beloved acoustic album Southside Double-Wide Acoustic Live, the band is hitting the road for an exclusive, intimate tour.
