Theory Of A Deadman Share New Holiday Song 'Missing You This Christmas'

Canadian rock band Theory Of A Deadman recently shared a new holiday track, called "Missing You This Christmas."

"We've never done an original holiday track and for some reason the timing seemed right. Maybe it was all the years of hearing Mariah Carey in Target that sparked the idea," frontman Tyler Connolly explains about the new track.

"Missing You This Christmas" marks the first new music from Theory Of A Deadman since they dropped their most recent album, Dinosaur, which was released earlier this year via Roadrunner Records.

Dinosaur, Theory's eighth full-length album, was a follow-up to 2020's acclaimed album Say Nothing. The 10-track collection features the hard-hitting title track and recent single "Two Of Us (Stuck)."

Foghat Share Video For 'She's A Little Bit Of Everything'

Foghat have released a video for "She's a Little Bit of Everything," the second single from their upcoming 17th studio album, Sonic Mojo, which is due out on November 10th via Foghat Records.

Sonic Mojo, which is Foghat's first album in seven years, features three songs - including "She's a Little Bit of Everything" - co-written with late Savoy Brown founder and guitarist Kim Simmonds, who died in 2022.

"He was a blues man," Foghat's Roger Earl told Ultimate Classic Rock. "Kim had a wonderful touch [and] he could emote through his guitar playing. It reached you."

Bryan Bassett says, "The song is a straight-up blues rocker that's quickly becoming a crowd favorite in our live show."

"What an honor to be part of a song written by Kim and performed with Roger! It's a straight rock and roll track that celebrates women! In all of her power, grace and beauty. What else is there to celebrate if not women?!?" Scott Holt adds.

Earl concludes, "As soon as I heard this song, I knew it was for us. I claimed that it was written about Kim's wife, Debi, but she is far too fine a person to ever admit that that's where it came from. I really believe that this is where Kim got the inspiration for this song. It's probably my favorite. Thank you, Kim."

Nickelback Share Official 'High Time' Music Video

Rock band Nickelback recently released a music video for "High Time," a song from their tenth studio album, Get Rollin'.

"'High Time' takes listeners on a hazy cross-country road trip that reminds us that it's always 4:20 somewhere," says a press release.

Timothy Hiehle directed the "High Time" video and shot the clip alongside Austin Friedline, Peter Hoang, Ryan Mclemore and Tanner Gallagher. Alan Lopez also assisted making of the visual.

The video shows the group rolling through desert highways and into cities in a '70s-inspired yellow van, before getting onstage to perform.

The band released the Get Rollin' record's first two singles, "San Quentin" and "Those Days," in September 2022 and October 2022, respectively.

Get Rollin', which arrived in November 2022 via BMG, was the band's first album in five years.
