A decade and four albums into their career, the new full-length album 4 marks the first new music from SMKC in four years and SLASH’s fifth solo album overall. SLASH and his bandmates Myles Kennedy (Vocals), Brent Fritz (Drums), Todd Kerns (Bass & Vocals), and Frank Sidoris (Guitar & Vocals) partnered with producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Rival Sons), for the new album 4 resulting in the band’s strongest collective statement to date. Recorded at RCA Studio A in Nashville, TN, Cobb shared the band’s desire to lay down the tracks live in the studio–including guitar solos and vocals–a first for the group, revealing a stunning, vital sound and style all captured live.
4 is SMKC like you’ve never heard them before. A vibrant rock album fueled by memorable guitar hooks and compelling melodies, big choruses, and even bigger riffs, 4 hits on a wide range of sounds, styles, and moods in 10 songs, and does it all with laser-sharp musical focus and a lightning-in-a-bottle sense of immediacy.
