Ex-Darkest Hour guitarist Michael "Lonestar" Carrigan has launched a new band called Goldilush. The band sees Carrigan handling the bulk of the instrumentation alongside drummers Phil Dubois (Trillionaire, ex-Revocation), Timothy Java (ex-Dead To Fall), and Doug Adams, as well as guitarist and vocalist Chris Goodwin, guitarist Paul Seymore, and bassist Kenny Gardner.
"For the past few years, I've been slowly and diligently working with a few friends on some new music. We bonded over our love of tunes with loud hooks, heavy distortion, & bad attitudes. While the outside world plunged further into chaos and uncertainty, we honed & harnessed that negative energy and transformed it into 14 crushingly catchy jammers. Every week we will be releasing a new song until our album-Fragile Zombies-is released on April 30.
"I wanna thank Kenny Gardner for all his hard work, dedication, and good vibes. You are one hell of a producer and an all around awesome dude!! You made this the most fun recording experience I've ever had, and IMO this is the best sounding album I've ever been a part of. Thank you to Timothy Java, Phil Dubois, and Doug Adams for lending their incredible drumming skills and breathing life into these songs! Chris Goodwin – Thank you for sharing the mic with me. We've been buds for almost 20 years, and we're finally putting out some music together! Your knack for notes is truly a gift to the world!"
Goldilush will release Fragile Zombies on April 30. Pre-orders are available here.
