A decade and four albums into their career, the new SMKC album 4 marks the first new music from the group in four years. A vibrant rock album fueled by memorable guitar hooks and compelling melodies, big choruses, and even bigger riffs; 4 builds on the legacy of SLASH FT. MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS’ prior work. For the new album 4, SMKC teamed with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Brandi Carlile), and recorded 4 at the historic RCA Studio A in Nashville, TN revealing a stunning new sound and style, all captured live in the studio. Cobb shared the band’s desire to lay down the new songs live in the studio including guitar solos and vocals–a first for the group.
4 is SLASH’s fifth solo album, and fourth overall with SLASH and his bandmates MYLES KENNEDY (Vocals), BRENT FITZ (Drums), TODD KERNS (Bass & Vocals), and FRANK SIDORIS (Guitar & Vocals). The band’s previous albums over the last decade Apocalyptic Love, World on Fire, and Living The Dream have continued on an upward trajectory, all achieving Top 5 Billboard charting debuts in the U.S. and reaching the Top 10 on 12 major charts across the globe. To date, the three SMKC albums have now garnered 8 consecutive Top 10 Radio singles, spawned sold-out world tours, and have earned SLASH and the band the best critical acclaim of their career with their last album Living The Dream (2018) singled out by the Los Angeles Times, Classic Rock, Guitar World, Loudwire, LA Weekly, and more, as their best songs to date.
Catch SLASH FT. MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS live on the road for their U.S. headlining tour which launches on February 8 in Portland, OR, and will hit 28 major cities nationwide, including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Denver, Nashville, Dallas, Austin, Houston, and more, as well as the newly announced Detroit, MI show on March 4 at The Fillmore.
