Charlottesville, Virginia, five-piece band Parachute have completed their long-awaited third album, OVERNIGHT, scheduled to arrive August 13th on Mercury Records. The lead single in advance of the album, “Can’t Help,” co-written by Ryan Tedder (One Republic), was released last week & shot straight to the Top 30 on the iTunes Pop chart and hit #1 on the popular chart of Twitter Music! Checkout Buzznet’s premier of “Can’t Help” HERE
OVERNIGHT’s release caps a two year span since The Way It Was, Parachute’s previous album of May 2011, which rose to the #1 Rock Album and #2 Overall Album spots at iTunes. The album’s success was buoyed by the iTunes #1 Rock Song “Kiss Me Slowly” (co-written with Grammy® winners Lady Antebellum) and the Top 15 AC hit“Something To Believe In” – which was played during the 2011 Rose Bowl football classic, went on to become an ESPN staple, and was performed by Parachute on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
In support of The Way It Was in 2011, Parachute – magnetic frontman Will Anderson (guitars, piano, lead vocals), Kit French (saxophone, keyboards, vocals), Alex Hargrave (bass), Johnny Stubblefield (drums), and Nate McFarland (lead guitar, vocals) – traveled non-stop across North America. Over the past couple years, Parachute has played over 250 shows and have toured all around the country with bands ranging from NeedtoBreathe to Andy Grammer. They will be heading back out on the road headlining clubs in support of OVERNIGHT this Summer (see full itinerary below).
Parachute’s debut album, Losing Sleep shot to #1 on the iTunes and Amazon digital albums charts and spawned the Top 15 Hot AC hit single “She Is Love” (whose video boasts over 6.4 million views). A slow-burning acoustic performance of the song at the New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square kicked off a breakout year for Parachute, who appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel Live, and CBS’s The Early Show. Losing Sleep was subsequently reissued on iTunes in a deluxe version adding the “She Is Love” video, rare B-sides, acoustic versions, and live tracks.
The video for “She Is Love” spent three months on VH1’s Top 20 Countdown. The second single, “Under Control” became one of the most popular iTunes Single Of The Week features to emerge from a #1 iTunes album. Parachute’s songs have been featured on MTV’s The City and the CW’s One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries and 90210.

BLACK WATER RISING is back with the follow up to their critically acclaimed self-titled debut. Today the band has confirmed a July 30th release date through Metalville/E1 for their sophomore album Pissed and Driven. The band has also unveiled the cover art and tracklisting for the album. The album art was created by Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design (Manowar, TYR).
Drummer Mike Meselsohn cannot wait for fans to hear the new music:
"We are reallypsychedto get this new album out to our fans.They'vebeen waiting a while for the follow-up to our debut and I don't think they'll be disappointed.The title says it all and it's reflected in the energy andaggressionof the cover art and music. We're ready to take this to the next level!"
The first single from Pissed and Driven "Show No Mercy" was #5 most added on the CMJ Loud Rock Chart, already top 10 at many college radio stations and in heavy rotation at Nationally Syndicated Cable channel Music Choice sitting at #6 on their Metal Chart this week. The song can be streamed HERE and is available for purchase on iTunes.
BLACK WATER RISING was formed from the ashes of various national touring acts. After releasing two self produced albums nationwide with a band called Dust To Dust, singer songwriter Rob Traynor locked himself away in his Brooklyn, New York recording studio, later emerging with a collection of songs that would become the seeds of BLACK WATER RISING.
Invigorated and eager to capitalize on the success of their debut album, the band's new material promises to be riff heavy and proudly anchored in the foundations of traditional hard rock and metal song writing with hooks and catchy choruses to pull you in and leave you wanting more.

1. Show No Mercy
2. Last Man Standing
