Today sees the release of brand new song 'My Champion' and it's accompanying video worldwide. (Watch it below)
'My Champion' climbs from a swell of delay into an
impressive guitar lick before frontman Myles Kennedy delivers one of the most
spirited choruses of their career to date.
“The lyric was actually inspired by thinking back to my
situation as a kid,” he said. “I was this really small, underdeveloped kid
who had to work extremely hard to keep up with all of my peers. It was very
frustrating. I would hear a lot of words of encouragement from parents,
coaches, or teachers though.
“A lot of those things were stored away, and they manifested
themselves in this song. I’ve been able to apply some of those concepts in my
life a thousand times over since then.”
Earlier this year, the band released the album's debut
single 'Show Me A Leader', together with an animated political video
showing the world in turmoil. To watch this video, visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICNer22c2PE.
'The Last Hero' is scheduled for worldwide release on
October 7th by Napalm Records (world excluding USA/Canada) and Caroline Records
(in the United States/Canada). The album was produced by longtime friend
and collaborator Michael “Elvis” Baskette (Slash, Tremonti, Trivium) and mastered
by Grammy award winner Ted Jensen.
