Best known for her evocative songwriting and genre-blurring sound, Wynne has built an international following both as a solo artist and as a key member of Envy Of None, the project featuring bass player Andy Curran of Coney Hatch and guitarist Alex Lifeson of Rush, whose creative partnership with Wynne has drawn widespread acclaim.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Lifeson remarked: “I’ve never had that kind of inspiration working with another musician.” A fact he stands by, because he’s contributed to six tracks on the forthcoming album.

“I am very excited and grateful to be working with Kscope for my next album release,” said Wynne. “I have loved working with them through Envy Of None and I consider them family now. I know I am in good hands and can’t wait to get this next record out.”

She added: “This signing is really timely with my move to London and I am looking forward to connecting with the Kscope team more in person and seeing what other opportunities arise while I am there. It’s really an honour to be among their lineup of talented artists.”

“Maiah Wynne is a truly distinctive and forward-thinking artist,” said Kscope. “Her work with Envy Of None, alongside her solo material, showcases a rare depth and originality. We’re thrilled to welcome her to the label and to be part of this next phase of her career.”

Wynne has toured extensively across the United States, sharing stages with Brandi Carlile, Indigo Girls and Tanya Tucker, and performing at major festivals including Red Ants Pants and Timber Music Festival. Her music has earned international airplay and coverage from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Guitar World and NPR Music.

The singer recently completed an extensive run of US dates supporting New York songwriter Shayfer James, before heading to Rushfest in Scotland. She is now based in London.

Grace Under Pressure was first released in April 1984 and features some key sonic template modifications resulting from the band’s decision to further evolve its sound by enlisting a new producer after a successful decade of working with Terry Brown behind the board.

The eight songs comprising Grace Under Pressure build from where September 1982’s Signals left off by fully embracing the tech and temper of the times while remaining true to the band’s knack for blending progressive roots with what had become radio-welcome song arrangements. Grace Under Pressure was co-produced by Rush with Peter Henderson and engineered by Paul Northfield with assistance from Frank Opolko and Robert Di Giola. It was the fourth in a series of Rush recording sessions ultimately held at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec. Rush‘s instinctive recording process at Le Studio had been DNA-infused during sessions held there for Signals, in addition to February 1981’s Moving Pictures and January 1980’s Permanent Waves.

“Our songwriting had taken us to a different musical place,” said Geddy Lee of the record. “An expansion of our soundscape with a range of new technologies, not just keyboards and samples, but electronic drums too, while getting to know the new dude behind the console with a very different working style.”

Grace Under Pressure: Super Deluxe Edition will be available in five distinct configurations: a Super Deluxe Edition 4-CD + Blu-ray, Super Deluxe Edition 5-LP + Blu-ray, Super Deluxe Digital Edition, Dolby Atmos Digital Edition, and Grace Under Pressure Tour: Live in Toronto 1984 at video DSPs.

Seven dates were initially announced as due to take place across the continent of America, then with dates sold out in Canada and the USA they extended the tour to take in 17 new cities. Now, at the time of writing, the band announced: “Thanks to your incredible support – the Rush Fifty Something Tour is now doing 50-Something Shows!”

The tour will mark the first time the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® Inductees, GRAMMY® Award-nominated icons, Lee and Lifeson have toured together in eleven years since the finale of Rush’s R40 Tour on 1^st August, 2015 at the Forum in Los Angeles, CA, USA; bringing it full circle with a return to the Forum to embark upon these special shows.

“It’s been over 10 years since Alex and I have performed the music of Rush alongside our fallen bandmate and friend Neil, “ Geddy Lee reflected. “A lifetime’s worth of songs that we had put our cumulative hearts and souls into writing, recording and playing together onstage. And so, after all that has gone down since that last show, Alex and I have done some serious soul searching and come to the decision that we fucking miss it, and that it’s time for a celebration of 50-something years of Rush music. So, in 2026 my BFF Lerxst (aka Alex Lifeson) and I are going to hit the road once again to pay tribute to our past and to Neil by performing a vast selection of Rush songs in a handful of cities. No small task, because as we all know Neil was irreplaceable.

“Yet life is full of surprises, and we have been introduced to another remarkable person; an incredible drummer and musician who is adding another chapter to our story while continuing her own fascinating musical journey. Her name is Anika Nilles, and we could not be more excited to introduce her to our loyal and dedicated Rush fanbase, whom, we know, will give her every chance to live up to that near impossible role. Before we hit the stage, we also hope to add another musician or two to expand our sound a wee bit and free up Alex and I, in order to show off some of our new fancy dance steps. 

“Lerxst, Anika and myself, along with many of our longstanding crew members have been hard at work rehearsing and designing the kind of Rush show you’ve grown accustomed to expect from us. We dearly hope you will come along and help us celebrate our history together.”

Carrie Nuttall-Peart and Olivia Peart, Neil’s widow and daughter commented: “We are thrilled to support the Fifty Something tour, celebrating a band whose music has resonated and inspired fans for generations, and to honour Neil’s extraordinary legacy as both a drummer and lyricist. Neil’s musicianship was singular. Compositions of intricacy and power that expanded what rhythm itself could express. As both drummer and lyricist, he was irreplaceable. Inimitable in his artistry, and unmatched in the depth and imagination he brought to the lyrics that inspired and moved so many, he profoundly shaped how fans connected with him and the band, giving voice and meaning to their own lives. As the band enters this new chapter, it promises to be truly unforgettable. We are excited to see how their new vision unfolds, and to hear this legendary music played live once again.”

Fans got the news via a Rush newsletter from a home video that announced the celebration, that took place at Geddy Lee’s home studio. You can view it yourselves here at RAMzine. It was followed by a private event at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland where they also discussed the tour as part of an on-stage interview and Q&A. 

Rush will perform multiple shows cities across Canada, the United States and Mexico, beginning on 7^th June, 2026 at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles. These special “evening with” shows will find the band playing two sets each night. Each show will feature a distinct selection of songs and Rush will build each night’s setlist from a catalogue of 35 songs including their greatest hits and fan favourites.

As noted, for Fifty Something, Lee and Lifeson will be accompanied by German drummer, composer, and producer Anika Nilles, who performed as Jeff Beck’s drummer for over 60 shows and has released four solo albums.

Speaking about the new single and inspiration behind the video by Jaden D, songwriter and vocalist Maiah Wynne said: “I wrote about wanting to be better, to grow, and the sense of desperation that comes with that desire. To me, the song is about the struggle of not being able to break bad cycles. I had been stuck for a very long time and was trying to be better.

“I think it’s a theme a lot of people can connect with in some way. Whether it’s habits, addiction, self-sabotage, or just unhealthy patterns, we all are trapped by something we are trying to break away from. If I had the power to write my own story, I’d want to be the hero, but so often I am my own villain.”

This news follows a recent flurry of activity from the Canadian/American band that saw them release two singles, ‘Not Dead Yet’ and ‘Under The Stars’, both of which included on the new album. 

They now follow that with a third single, the almost title track, ‘Stygian Waves’, with accompanying new animated music video directed by Mariano Biotico – You can watch the video here at RAMzine and stream it here.

Speaking about  the new single and the upcoming album, Envy Of None songwriter and bassist Andy Curran said “This track is a favourite of all four Envy Of Nones. Despite the fact of the spartan lyrical content, this song features our sweet Maiah on lead vocals. Her harmonies and layers of vocals are literally symphonic! It’s hard to put a finger on what style or genre this one is… And we’re proud of that!”

Though they’d never describe themselves as such, Envy Of None is the living, breathing definition of a supergroup. No other band on earth could rightly claim to have Alex Lifeson – One of rock’s most influential visionaries – heading up guitar duties, with Andy Curran of Coney Hatch and Soho 69 overseeing bass/programming as well as producer extraordinaire Alfio Annibalini on keyboards. However, the star in this band could very well be its youngest member – American singer-songwriter Maiah Wynne – whose emotive vocals are able to spin the music in new exciting directions that thrill to the core. 

On their self-titled debut of 2022, the group were able to prove that they were a lot more than the sum of their parts, with an abundance of panache and finesse poured into a contemporary alt rock sound that was hard to predict and even harder to categorise.

This year’s sophomore release, Stygian Wavz, is the sound of a band basking in the radiant glow of creative confidence and coming into their own, staggering the listener with every twist and turn encased within their heady mix of genre-splicing brilliance.

Tracks featured on Stygian Wavz are ‘Not Dead Yet’, ‘The Story’, ‘Under The Stars’, ‘Thrill Of The Chase’, ‘Handle With Care’,  ‘That Was Then’,  ‘Raindrops’, ‘New Trip’, ‘Clouds’, ‘The End’ and ‘Stygian Waves’.

Stygian Wavz will be released on a selection of formats including coloured vinyl, standard black vinyl, CD, Blu-ray, digitally and as a Super Deluxe Edition Boxset, and all formats can be ordered here.

The post The Story by Envy Of None appeared first on RAMzine.

Featuring the masterful musicianship of Rush’s Alex Lifeson (guitars), Coney Hatch’s Andy Curran (Bass, keyboards, backing vocals), Alf Annibalini (Guitar, keyboards), and Randy Cooke (Drums), with Maiah Wynne delivering lead vocals, Envy Of None has been conjuring a unique blend of classic, progressive rock and modern, vibrant textures with their releases thus far.

Speaking about the ‘Under The Stars’ single, songwriter and bassist Andy Curran said “Alf and I toiled over this one for months and really felt, even at its rough demo stage that we had something special. We left a ton of space for Maiah in the verses and there’s such a cool mood shift when the chorus hits. Joe Vitale’s drum track and percussion added an almost trance like vibe and the icing on the cake, is an unmistakable ‘Alex’ guitar solo. I’m a romantic at heart and the message here is universal.  Soul mates, two against the world!”

You can stream the single here and you can check out the accompanying new video created by Olivier Boscovitch below.

Envy Of None previously released ‘Not Dead Yet’ in time for the Halloween season.

With an unyielding spirit and defiant energy, Maiah Wynne, who penned the lyrics, said that it was inspired by Curran’s raw chorus line: “I’m not dead yet, come on along and see what I am good for.”

She further described the track as a cathartic anthem, one that embodies resilience and defiance against the forces that aim to tear us down. “Simply continuing to exist, to create, and to fight is inspiring and powerful. You have to continue to exist, to create, and to fight. That’s the heart of the song: keep going and enjoy the ride.”

The single is accompanied by a video inspired by the Mexican Dia De Los Muertos’ Day of the Dead holiday, and was produced by Mariano Biotico. 

‘Not Dead Yet’ unfolds as a layered journey, driving forward with tight rhythms and Alex Lifeson’s legendary guitar lines. The breakdown, Wynne’s favourite part, is the song’s emotional peak, offering listeners a moment of release before launching back into its resilient conclusion.

Envy Of None is busy in the studio finishing off their next album and the follow up to 2022’s self-titled debut, expected in Spring 2025.

Guided by what some might describe as an uncontainable brilliance and bravado, ‘Stroboscopic Fennel‘ is a fine example of the album’s many twists and turns, practically laughing at any notion of genre or boundary.

Speaking about the new video, lyricist and songwriter Nick Beggs said “In a post-apocalyptic world it won’t be only our vegetables that glow in the dark. So I thought I’d offer a handy recipe to help the few survivors cope with the last days of running the house. Add salt to taste.”

It’s often said that the greatest musical groups are the ones with the right mixture of ideas, talent and chemistry. These are things Trifecta have in abundance, the members having spent their most recent years touring some of the world’s biggest stages as part of many band, including Steven Wilson. It was from that later configuration that they decided to form a largely instrumental offshoot as a trio, eventually writing and releasing 2021’s Fragments, their debut album, where they were already off to a head start, with a tangible sense of creative familiarity.

For listeners seeking to escape the confines of the normal world, The New Normal will enable a window into vistas in a multitude of sonics and in concept. By combining elements of progressive rock, jazz fusion, all with a dash of typical English wit, the band bring the listener into a world where “sound is malleable, time is a mere concept and vegetables have otherworldly properties like the ‘Stroboscopic Fennel’”. 

The New Normal features 19 tracks, the band building upon the innovative ambition and genre-hopping skulduggery they introduced themselves to the world with on Fragments. The new album could easily have carried on in that same direction and comfortably delighted fans of all three musicians, as well as their associated projects, but the trio were bursting with ideas of every kind, resulting in what’s been described as “many twists and turns”, where they are “practically laughing at any notion of genre or boundary”. 

The releases follow previous single out in ‘Once Around The Sun With You’ featuring Rush and Envy Of None‘s Alex Lifeson on additional guitar. The track was the third single to be taken from the band’s new album The New Normal, out now on Kscope (Also home to The Pineapple Thief, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree etc).

Lyricist and singer Nick Beggs revealed just how personal the song is to him: “’Once Around The Sun With You’ is an anniversary song written for my wife in commemoration of all the years she’s put up with me. Need I say more. The woman is a saint.”

Speaking on the collaboration with Alex Lifeson, Beggs said: “Our history with Alex Lifeson goes back quite a few years to when Rush invited numbers of artists to rerecord an anniversary version of their classic album 2112. Steven Wilson and band rattled off a version of ‘The Twilight Zone’ one afternoon during sound check which was included on the final release.

“I also invited Alex to play guitars on The Mute Gods’ song ‘One Day’ so I guess it was only a question of time before he was asked to contribute to Trifecta too. I don’t like to bug him too much but if it’s a song I think he’ll enjoy I’ll inevitably send him a demo to gauge his response. He instantly related to ‘Once Around The Sun’ and added some wonderful guitar colour to the track.” You can stream/download the single by clicking here and check out the video right here at RAMzine.

A song that wasn’t actually intended to be released by Trifecta ended up as their last single, as Beggs explained: “Stupid Pop Song was written for my daughter Willow who had a band for a while and was looking for material. I wrote it in the car one day whilst thinking about her musical journey.

“It obviously has a different narrative and irony when sung by me which is what happened in the end owing to the fact her band split up. I played it to Craig and Adam who both thought it would work well for Trifecta, but at the time I was unsure.  They kind of talked me round after playing with the arrangement in their studios. I think it worked out rather well.” You can stream/download that single here and check out and check out the animated video for it – created by Willow Beggs – here at RAMzine.

Joining the trio is Alex Lifeson (Rush, Envy Of None) for additional guitar on new single ‘Once Around The Sun With You’ and Theo Travis (Steven Wilson) on the saxophone for insectoid grooves of ‘Daddy Long Legs’. And, it should be noted, John Paul Jones’ very own chapman stick from 1979 was sent to Beggs and used to record ‘The New Normal’. 

The album was apparently recorded in the Bermuda Triangle of normality that is Leighton Buzzard, Bedford and New York between 2019 and 2023, engineered by the band and mastered by Andy VanDette (Beastie Boys, Rush, Whitney Houston), featuring artwork that was inspired by an original idea from Hajo Muller.

Available on limited edition as white 2 LP, CD , 2 LP and digitally, you can order it  by clicking here.

The song is a new version of Dire Straits legend Knopfler’s 1983 Instrumental, this time boasting an enormous line-up of sixty iconic musicians.

The song was produced by former Dire Straits keyboardist, Guy Fletcher. Guests include Bruce Springsteen, Slash, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Pete Townsend, Sting, Sam Fender, Tom Morello, Brian May, Joan Jett, Tony Iommi, Ringo Starr, Nile Rogers, Roger Daltrey and Ronnie Wood. 

It also features contributions from Joan Armatrading, Richard Bennett, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Brown, James Burton, Jonathan Cain, Paul Carrack, Ry Cooder, Jim Cox, Steve Cropper, Sheryl Crow, Danny Cummings, Duane Eddy, Peter Frampton, Audley Freed, Vince Gill, Buddy Guy, Keiji Haino, John Jorgenson, Sonny Landreth, Albert Lee, Greg Leisz, Alex Lifeson, Steve Lukather, Phil Manzanera, Dave Mason, Hank Marvin, Robbie McIntosh, John McLaughlin, Rick Neilsen, Orianthi, Brad Paisley, Mike Rutherford, Joe Satriani, John Sebastian,  Connor Selby, Andy Taylor, Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, Ian Thomas, Keith Urban, Steve Vai, Waddy Wachtel, Joe Louis Walker, Joe Walsh, Zack Starkey, Glenn Worf, and Zucchero… and the final recording by Jeff Beck.

All proceeds from the release will benefit Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America, whose patron and curator, Roger Daltrey, will step down following this year’s concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, expressing his hope that one of his peers will take up the baton.

You can check out a taster of the single via the video clip here at RAMzine, and pre-order it here.

The song was originally composed for the 1983 film Local Hero, starring Burt Lancaster and has since become adopted by Newcastle United, Knopfler’s boyhood team.
 
Knopfler said: “What I really want to do, more than anything else, is just to thank each and every one for this sterling response. I really had no idea that it was going to be like this. It hit Guy and I quite early on that we had to extend this piece somehow, to take in the number of people who joined in.
 
“Before I knew where I was, Pete Townshend had come into my studio armed with a guitar and an amp. And that first Pete power chord – Man, I tell you. We were in that territory, and it was just fantastic. And it went on from there. Eric (Clapton) came in, played great, just one tasty lick after another. Then Jeff Beck’s contribution arrived and that was spellbinding. I think what we’ve had is an embarrassment of riches, really. The whole thing was a high point.”

Some musicians recorded in person at British Grove Studios in west London, while others sent in their contributions from around the world. Among those involved was rising star Connor Selby who is about to head out on tour throughout the UK and Europe with Joanne Shaw Taylor, and talking about the recording he said, “What a huge honour it was to have contributed to this incredible project featuring a pretty comprehensive list of some of the greatest and most significant guitarists ever and the final recording by the late great Jeff Beck.

“I can’t really express how much it means to me to have been a part of this! The teenage me sat in his bedroom listening to all these great artists would never have believed that one day I might be playing on the same track as all of them. Mark has put together something truly special and for such worthwhile causes. What he has done really helps put things in perspective. I hope that the song is an enormous success and the money raised helps change those young lives.”

Out now is the band’s new single, ‘A Louder Silence’, their second from the album and likewise to feature Alex Lifeson, alongside a video that you can check out here at RAMzine.

“’A Louder Silence’ is my favourite track off the record,” said Today Was Yesterday‘s drummer Dennis. “For me, this song is a great representation of our sound as a band. Like all great songs, this track has an impact that has the listener taking the journey with us through delicate intros, through melodic verses and powerful choruses, and it’s rounded out by an incredible, out of this world guitar performance from Alex Lifeson.”

His partner, Barbera said, “’A Louder Silence’ deals in today’s mindsets of opinion narratives over facts in politics, medical, romance, or any topic via social media. The shaping of minds to be fooled by opinion narratives and not facts; your basically saying words without saying anything that’s factual.”

On a mission to create timeless music that transcends genres and generations, Today Was Yesterday’s  debut is an imaginative, ten song collection of prime modern classic rock. “We come from the days when pop musicians weren’t afraid to be good players,” said LA-based Dennis. “Ty and I’ve played together as sidemen for 25 years, and we’ve always wanted to work together on original music. Today Was Yesterday is a dream come true for us,” remarked Chicago-based Barbera.
 
Today Was Yesterday write adventurous and smart pop-rock that listeners will find is spiritually aligned with NIN, Japan and David Sylvian, Genesis and Peter Gabriel, Tears For Fears, Led Zeppelin, Steely Dan, and Rush. The debut album features intricate but catchy compositions replete with thrilling virtuosic musical passages, art-rock soundscapes, and meticulous production. Lyrically and conceptually, Today Was Yesterday specialise in the type of metaphorical and poetic lyrics favoured by artists such as Genesis, Peter Gabriel, and Rush.
 
The duo first met in 1997. They are longtime veterans of the rock n’ roll scene with a telepathic musical connection. Barbera has worked with The Motels featuring Martha Davis, Red Square Black, Lita Ford, and, most notably, The Robby Krieger Band and The Doors of the 21st Century. Dennis previously played in The Motels featuring Martha Davis, where the pair met, and he later replaced the Police’s Stewart Copeland in The Doors of the 21st Century.
 
Prior to his successful hired gun career, Barbera was a band guy, and he has remained an active songwriter even as his bass playing earned him world-class gigs. His song sketches became the basis of Today Was Yesterday’s debut album, though they evolved considerably when Dennis added his musicianship and artistic vision.
 
Initially, Today Was Yesterday was going to have a more conventional lineup presentation. “I tried out lead singers, but, at times, it was comical, like a SNL skit—the LSD, lead singer’s disease, was too much for me,” Barbera said laughing. The pair decided to create as a self-contained unit, self-producing and playing all the instruments with Barbera handling all the lead vocals.

As noted, the band is joined on this debut by some very special guests. Over the years, Dennis had been in house bands for all-star concerts that Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson was a part of.  In 2022, he gave Lifeson a lift back to his hotel after a rehearsal, and he played him some early versions of a couple of Today Was Yesterday songs. The Rush guitarist became a fan of what he heard and said he would love to play on some of the tracks. “We’re honoured to have Alex joining us on six of the album’s ten songs.”
 
Robby Krieger joins the party for the bluesy, ‘If I Fall (Silly Games)’, that features his one-of-a-kind slide guitar playing. “Jim Morrison freaked out when he heard Robby play slide, and wanted him to play it all the time, and I can see why. His slide playing is so emotional—it makes my hair stand up,” Dennis commented.
 
Today Was Yesterday has been a deeply satisfying creative adventure for the duo. As they gear up to perform live in the summer of 2024, they are looking back on their career thus far and the road ahead with thoughtfulness and gratitude. “I’m normally helping someone else achieve their goals—which I’m always happy to do—but this band gives me a chance to play exactly what I want to play, and I love that,” Dennis said. While Barbera commented: “This music is one hundred percent pure and honest. It doesn’t sound like anything contemporary.  It is truly Today Was Yesterday.”

The self-titled debut album will feature the following tracks: ‘Grace’*, ‘A Louder Silence’*, ‘On My Own’*, ‘I Take All’ featuring Ed Roth, ‘My Dog Is My God’*, ‘Faceless Faraway Song’*, ‘If I Fall (Silly Games)’ featuring Robby Krieger, ‘Rukus’, ‘Borrowed’ and ‘My New Low’*. Tracks denoted * all feature Alex Lifeson.

You can pre-order the album here.

At the tail-end of last year, they released ‘Grace’, as a single and video release, that you can also check out here at RAMzine. The lead track from the forthcoming album, it also features guitarist Alex Lifeson, in a moody and imaginatively-arranged rocker that evokes both 1970s prog-rock and Physical Graffiti–era Led Zeppelin. Lyrically, the song is about the fentanyl epidemic, and features emotionally direct lyric from Angelo, not least: “Swallowed addictions paid in souls/Timeless crimes that go raging by.”

The follow-up release That Was Then, This Is Now is an EP of only five songs, of which only one is new. It’s made up of two songs which were on their debut album but have been remixed, alongside two pieces which had previously only been available on the Deluxe edition of the debut album. The only newly recorded song is the title track. 

This EP is definitely not for the hardcore Rush fan as the usage of synth and electronica goes beyond anything the band ever produced, even in the eighties. Ambient electronica pervades all five songs but it’s gentle, laid back and atmospheric, rather than harsh and grating, with guitar taking the backseat and overlaying the music is the sensual, ethereal tones of Maiah Wynne, whose gorgeous voice carries throughout the whole EP.

‘Dumb’ and ‘A Dog’s Life’ have both been remixed from the debut album, with the latter having a little more intensity added. It’s a little longer this time around and, to these ears, with what sounds like real drums being played on a track which could have been written by Rush.

‘Lethe River’ and ‘You’ll Be Sorry’ are both drenched in drum machine and synths, with Lifeson’s guitar used sparingly to great effect. The latter sees a fabulous vocal performance from Maiah Wynne, saying “Turn away from me, you’ll be sorry, see what I can be”. ‘That Was Then‘ again sounds as though real drums were used and is the only track to feature Lifeson playing a solo, one which shows sensitivity rather than heaviness.

In summary, Envy Of None shouldn’t be defined by their past bands (Rush/Coney Hatch), they’re more than the sum of their parts. I’m not usually a fan of synths/electronica but Envy Of None, with Maiah Wynne’s haunting voice added, have found a way to make it work.
