FOZZY To Premiere New Song 'Nowhere To Run' Today
August 23, 2019, 5 years ago
Currently working on the follow-up to their Judas album from 2017, Fozzy will premiere their new song "Nowhere To Run" today (Friday, August 23rd) at 6:00pm EST on frontman Chris Jericho's SiriusXM podcast, The Rock Of Jericho.
Jericho: "The thing is you can't rush something like this, because 'Judas' had three Top 10 singles on it. So, it was a huge breakthrough for us... it really took us to the next level. Your next record has to be better, not as good - it has to be better - and so there's no reason to rush it. I find in this biz, 'Here today, gone later today,' if you make the wrong decisions, is very easy, and also, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder.' So while people are waiting, as long as we know we've got some of this, like, 'Wow, this is very, very good, and we're gonna really continue this build that we've got,' then we'll be ready. Until then, we're gonna take the time it takes to get it right."
Fozzy has announced their Unleashed In The West 2019 headline tour. The U. tour, which includes special guest Jared Nichols James, starts on September 5 in Denver and wraps on September 28 in Atlanta. The band will be taking a break from the studio to tour for the first time in 2019 as they prepare for the release of their new record. Tickets are available for purchase here.
"When we got the call to join Iron Maiden on their Banc Of California Stadium show in Los Angeles, we knew 2 things were imminent. One, this might be the biggest show Fozzy has ever played. Two, one show isn't enough," states Chris Jericho about the tour announcement. "So we decided to head out all across the western US to spread the Fozzpel and celebrate this great time in our lives! Plus, it gets us out of the studio for a breath of fresh air...it gets a little stuffy in there sometimes when you're recording a new record! So come ROCK with us and be a part of the most energetic, electric and FUN rock n roll show in the world today. Don't miss Fozzy Unleashed In the West!!!"
Rich Ward adds, "It's been almost 6 months since we wrapped up our amazing 200 city tour in support of the Judas album. Since then we've been sequestered to a top secret bunker where we are writing what will become our next record. As much as we love the creative environment of the studio, there is no substitute for loud amps and the unique exchange of energy that only occurs on the big stage. In September we return to that stage, in what will be one of our biggest and boldest tours to date. Grab your helmets and dancing shoes, Fozzy is coming to town!"
