Jason Heath And The Greedy Souls to release<\/h1>\n

But There’s Nowhere to Go\u00a0<\/em>in October<\/h1>\n

Album is a cry from the broken belly of the American Dream,<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

LA-based roots-rock band Jason Heath And The Greedy Souls is set to release its new album,\u00a0But There\u2019s Nowhere To Go<\/em>, on October 13, 2017 via Industrial Amusement. It is the band\u2019s second album for Wayne Kramer\u2019s label. The record is a cry from the broken belly of the American Dream, where time, neglect, and corruption have taken their toll on this grand experiment called the U.S. of A. Seems like there\u2019s nothing left to do but howl at the moon, and set out through the wilderness of the unknown in search of a new direction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The new songs were mostly written as the band was on tour after the U.S. Presidential election last November. Traveling the country in its aftermath, Heath saw and heard from all walks of American life and put those observations into his new work.\u00a0 \u201cIt couldn\u2019t be helped,\u201d says Heath.\u00a0 \u201cWe are losing our national identity. Everyone is looking for someone else to blame. Faith in the status quo has been lost. There is a general feeling of confusion and misrepresentation, no matter who one voted for. There is a national ambience of panic, a fear of the unknown, and an overall distrust of any institution.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Songs run the gamut of relevant, current-headline topics in today\u2019s American psyche. \u201cFair Fight\u201d pulls no punches, exploring the idea that this country and what it\u2019s supposed to stand for are well worth fighting for (\u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting too long\u2026 so bring it on!\u201d). \u201cPostcards From The Hanging\u201d is a forceful demand that we all remember that something is broken in this promised land that has been divided for 400 years and is a stark expos\u00e9 on racism. The ballad \u201cMiss Arizona\u201d weaves a tale of love gone wrong with winners, losers, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, his helpless victims, and those who would like to deny others access to the American Dream (\u201cyou can\u2019t entertain angels if you don\u2019t let them in\u201d).\u00a0 \u201cGarden of Machines\u201d takes on environmental and human destruction of our Earth, driving home the fact that greed and technology cannot be sustained. \u201cWe are collapsing under its weight, and we\u2019re running out of options, and time,\u201d says Heath.\u00a0 \u201cThis sounds heavy \u2013 not your standard pop song fare \u2013 but I, and many others more qualified than myself, believe it\u2019s a discussion that needs to happen. Before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The harsh truths keep coming.\u00a0 \u201cSouth Of Babylon\u201d explores the idea that if human beings continue to follow corruption with such complacency, plodding along like drones, there will be a steep price to pay (\u201cthe obedient ain\u2019t guilty, they just play their part\u201d). \u201cThe Ballad Of The Brown Bomber\u201d tells the story of how heavyweight champion Joe Louis gave up his best fighting years to enlist in the Army to boost morale in the fight against the Nazis. For this, the IRS helped themselves to most of his money. \u201cHere Comes My Savior\u201d is a clear examination of how folks tend to blindly trust leaders and looks at where that gullibility has gotten us.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cNowhere To Go\u201d is a summation of the album and it\u2019s a shotgun blast, uptempo rager that suggests that this broken-down locomotive of a country has run out of track and we need to get busy repairing it. \u201cWe\u2019re now nationally and globally at the place where we need to, as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently stated, reach for and be touched by the better angels of our nature,\u201d says Heath.\u00a0 \u201cTo give up the ghost of what we think this country is or used to be, and begin again – better. To rise. There is hope in surrender.\u00a0 It\u2019s all possible, but only if we\u2019re honest with ourselves about our past, and willing to come together to unite as one for the common good.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Record stores might have filed their previous releases under \u201cAmericana,\u201d but it\u2019s unclear what that means to the band anymore, as they\u2019ve incorporated the musical influences of punk, alternative, soul, garage rock, blues, and jazz into their sound, while pushing the expected boundaries of a typical alt-country, folk rock, Americana production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Produced by Mike Fennel, Heath, and The Greedy Souls,\u00a0But There\u2019s Nowhere To Go<\/em>\u00a0builds on the same foundation of fiery roots-rock heard on their previous albums, which prompted\u00a0Paste Magazine<\/em>\u00a0to call their first record,\u00a0The Vain Hope Of Horse<\/em>\u00a0(which featured guests Tom Morello [Rage Against The Machine], Wayne Kramer [The MC5], and Nels Cline [Wilco]), \u201ca wonderful debut: ragged, soulful, and well written.\u201d Famed rock journalist Dave Marsh said of their second disc,\u00a0Packed For Exile<\/em>, \u201cJason Heath And The Greedy Souls speak to the heartache and joy in the world, with the wisdom not to try to separate them, and the skill to make all of it beautiful.\u201d And\u00a0American Songwriter\u00a0<\/em>lauded their last release,\u00a0A Season Undone<\/em>, writing, \u201c\u2026if you\u2019re a fan of rock and roll, it deserves to be on your shortlist as one of the most heartfelt, honest and intelligently soulful rocking albums of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
