EXTREME REVEAL TWO NEW SINGLES: “BANSHEE” AND “#REBEL,” ANNOUNCE GLOBAL FALL HEADLINING TOUR DATES

Multi-platinum hard rock icons Extreme’s latest single Rise, has seen unprecedented success, alongside a fiery music video, which has received over two million views to date (watch it here). The critically acclaimed song, from their new album SIX out June 9th through earMUSIC, has earned praise from international top tier media outlets including Consequence, Classic Rock, Music Radar and Guitar World in addition to accolades from such fellow musical peers as Brian May and radio personality Howard Stern while peaking at #3 on the Classic Rock charts.

The band—Gary Cherone (vocals), Nuno Bettencourt, Pat Badger (bass), and Kevin Figueiredo (drums)—have today (April 19th) shared two new singles along with dazzling videos to accompany each, Banshee and #Rebel, which can viewed, below.

Banshee is a seductive classic hard rock tune with a chugging rhythm section, playful guitar wizardry and electrifying vocals that testify to the power and inspiration of the female form and spirit. #REBEL takes on scathing so-called keyboard warriors, with its head-nodding beat and searing dive bomb lead guitar runs catering to the harder edges of the band’s sound.

“We’re calling out those trolls who can’t back up their words,” explains Cherone.

  1. Banshee sounds like another song, but I cannot place it. There is definitely an Aerosmith influence to the sound.

    The middle of Bettencourt‘s solo on, #Rebel, sounds like Van Halen‘s, on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Also, I can’t stop hearing, “Hey, wait, I got a new complaint..” (Nirvana‘s Heart Shaped Box).

  2. Best material from Extreme since Three Sides. True fans know that Three Sides is a masterpiece. These new songs are powerful musically, vocally, and dripping with hooks. I love it, and I can’t WAIT to get the new album. If you think you know Extreme but never gave them much of a chance, please go and see them. The guys in Queen love them. There you go.
