Rockshots Records – Out Now! SANDNESS New Album “Play Your Part” + New Video “Someone So Bad”
|
|
Italian classic 80’s hair metal-inspired band SANDNESS fourth studio album entitled “Play Your Part” is now available via Rockshots Records as of May 20th. The album follows their two previous released records on Rockshots Records, 2020 EP “Enter Please (2020) and 2019 LP “Untamed”.
Today, to celebrate the record’s release, SANDNESS are sharing their new video for the single “Someone So Bad”.
“This is a love song, a love letter written by a musician who spends a lot of time far away from their better half while touring around the world. In the chorus you can also hear a female voice (for the first time in a Sandness song), that’s Maria Grazia Zancopè, the lead singer of Perpetual Fate.”
Listen and watch “Someone So Bad” at https:/youtu.be/O49V3MVqauc
SANDNESS‘ new album is produced, mixed, and mastered by Michele Guaitoli and features twelve original tracks including a bonus cover version of KISS’ “Turn On The Night”. The lyrics written for the full length give an insight into how the band kept themselves busy and entertained during the first lockdown in the spring of 2020.
“We think that our fans won’t be disappointed, we worked hard on this album, and without live gigs over the last 2 years due to Covid 19, we had a lot of time and energy to put into it. The songs are catchy and easy to listen to. We want this album to be the getaway from your typical stressful everyday life. We want people to feel good when they listen to our songs. Our music brings you to a dimension where everything is solvable with some dance moves or some headbanging. Give you the bright side of things to escape the difficult times.” adds the band.
“Play Your Part” is a different kind of animal from SANDNESS‘ previous releases, due to the lockdown, they had more time to think and work on the songs. They also worked a lot more closely with producer Michele Guaitoli, who helped them bring their music to the next level. The new album is more mature and inspired by different styles: hard rock, classic rock, heavy metal, 70’s rock n’ roll, but also pop music from different decades.
“Play Your Part” is available as of May 20, 2022.

Today, SANDNESS shares the second single off the full length. Entitled “No Filter”, it is another 70’s-inspired song, but with a message about today’s present.
“This track was written to remind us all of how fake we all are when it comes to social media. Have you ever taken more than 30 selfies just to delete them all because none of them is good enough, not even after all the editing? This song is for you!” adds the band.

0 Rockshots Records: SANDNESS New Single ‘Alive & Kickin’; New EP “Enter Please” Out August 20th
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – June 19, 2020
For fans of Motionless Def Leppard, H.E.A.T., Reckless Love
Rockshots Records: SANDNESS New Single ‘Alive & Kickin’
New EP “Enter Please” Out August 21st
Hard Rock Band SANDNESS has unleashed the new single ‘Alive & Kickin’ off their new EP “Enter Please” due out August 21st via Rockshots Records.
The band comments:
“Alive & Kickin’ was the first song that we wrote after the release of our third album and we liked it so much we decided to release immediately instead of waiting for the rest of the tracks for the fourth album to be ready (yes, we are working on it!). With this song we decided to experiment a little with the sound of the synth, using it as the main riff. The lyrics talk about a very passionate love story and the melody is one of those that can get stuck in your head for days. In our eyes, this song is like the missing link between London and the love power ballad that we haven’t written yet”
About the six-track EP adds:
“‘Enter Please’ is in some way a follow-up of our third album ‘Untamed’. The new track ‘Alive & Kickin’ is a melodic rock song with a catchy synth riff – it’s a “rock club dancefloor” kind of song. Then we have our personal version of two well known 70’s rock songs, ‘Get It On’ by T-Rex and ‘Saturday Night’s Alright’ by Elton John; our intent is to show how music from the past can still be relevant and make you have a good time in the present. The second half of the EP is a live version of three songs from our album Untamed – we want people to know what a Sandness live concert sounds like”
“Enter Please” will be released on August 21st via Rockshots Records.

1. Alive & Kickin’

Rockshots Records: SANDNESS Release New Music Video “Tyger Bite” + New Album “Untamed” Out June 2019
New Album “Untamed” Out June 14th via Rockshots Records
Italian classic 80’s hair metal inspired band SANDNESS have released their new music video “Tyger Bite” in support of their third studio album “Untamed” due out on June 14, 2019 via Rockshots Records. The album features a completely renewed and modern sound of eleven new catchy and sleazy songs to add to the band’s catalog from their two previous releases on Sleazy Rider Records 2016’s “Higher & Higher” and 2013’s “Like An Addiction”.
Vocalist/guitarist Robby Luckets comments:
“‘Untamed’ is a very melodic hard and heavy album. The people who are acquainted with our sound and that are waiting for our comeback won’t be disappointed. At the same time, this album can also be appreciated by people who have never heard our music or specific genre. We tried to keep a sound with more variety and add catchier, more modern songs mixed with heavier and sleazier ones. We also think that this album shows how much we have grown as musicians and as a band, even though we are sure there’s plenty more to learn and to explore.”
And bassist Mark Denkley adds:
“If you compare this album to the previous one, one of the first things you notice is that Untamed is more straightforward, shorter and more lighthearted: the main thing we want is for people to have fun when they listen to it. Most of the lyrics are about partying and enjoying life in general. However, you will still find some songs with a deeper meaning. We have one against bullying, one about finding the strength to fight back when life gives you lemons, and one about keeping the good rock’n’roll spirit alive through the younger generations.”
SANDNESS has also taken their twist on 80’s inspired hard and heavy metal across Europe with multiple tours and festivals in Latvia, France, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Belgium and the Netherlands along with sharing the stage with acts such as Tygers Of Pan Tang, Reckless Love, Hell In The Club, L.A. Guns, Adam Bomb and more.
