Las Vegas Rockers OTHERWISE Reveal “Halo”
20th May 2021Las Vegas rockers, OTHERWISE and Mascot Records / Mascot Label Group have revealed the first song from the band’s upcoming EP, Defiance. The lead track shared is a recording of “Halo,”
OTHERWISE’s Adrian Patrick offers, “The first single, ‘Halo,’ we’ve had hidden in our six-demon bag for quite some time. Written in Los Angeles and recorded in Las Vegas, it personally functions as a celestial middle finger to every hypocrite out there… including the ones in the mirror.”The collected body of work will feature B-sides, live recordings, and special guests. Further detail will be shared in the coming months. Patrick reflects, “The pandemic basically brought a screeching halt to the album cycle for DEFY, and it was honestly heartbreaking. But we took the huge, perpetual chip on our shoulder and made an opportunity from it, one in which we could breathe new life into our art by revisiting the music in a live acoustic setting, as well as fully producing some of our favorite songs from the DEFY sessions that may not have been given due diligence. Thus, in the spirit of being rock n roll soul-rebels, we’ve named this upcoming release DEFIANCE.” Cumulative streams of repertoire featured on DEFY exceed 11 million plays, while the singles “Lifted” and “Crossfire” charted at Active Rock radio.
On May 22, OTHERWISE will stage “Rock ‘N’ Run” in their hometown of Las Vegas. As the band states on Facebook, “VEGAS!!! Something special is going down on May 22nd!!!
