Canadian outlaw-country-rock artist, Cory Marks, has released his new EP Nashville Nights via Better Noise Music, out now across digital platforms.
The rock-tinged outlaw country collection is a follow-up to Nashville Mornings, the more traditionally country-leaning EP that Marks released earlier this year. As a companion piece, the new Nashville Nights EP instead focuses on the critically acclaimed artist’s dynamic rock influences, having a track listing filled with anthems about being true to oneself and the high-stakes emotions that came along with living life and falling in love. It adds high-octane production to Marks’ signature songwriting, which is rooted in the Nashville way of storytelling, backed by his experiences coming of age in Canada.
Marks celebrated the release of the EP, stating, “This is a sequel to my last EP Nashville Mornings, except this time I show off my rock influences. I always want to make sure that I’m showcasing all artistic sides of me, and I’m happy that I found a new way to share both of these sides with fans with these two collections of songs. These tracks are meant to fill your Saturday nights with fun and rock ‘n’ roll. Party on and see you out on the road!”

Earlier this year, Marks announced that he’d be joining Theory of a Deadman on their North American tour starting in September, after collaborating with the band’s lead vocalist/guitarist Tyler Connolly on the critically acclaimed single Blame It On The Double. He is also joining Halestorm on tour for select dates, marking a reunion with front woman Lzzy Hale who appeared on Marks’ debut album WHO I AM.

In April, Marks released an official video for Blame It on the Double featuring Connolly and praised guitarist Jason Hook that includes footage from the upcoming horror-thriller film THE RETALIATORS (from Better Noise Films). The track is set to appear on its highly-anticipated original soundtrack, which also features some of the biggest names in rock, including Tommy Lee, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach, Escape The Fate and more. Marks will make his onscreen debut via a special cameo in the film.
In an interview with his hometown paper Bay Today, earlier this year, Marks said of the film, “THE RETALIATORS is a movie produced by my label (Better Noise) and features my label mates Tommy Lee of Mötley Crüe, members of Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach. [I play] the role of ‘Jimmy’ the bartender at their club bar/hideout…I’m very thankful for the opportunity to be part of this film.”
THE RETALIATORS is set to make its world premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest 2021 in London on August 30th. For more information on the festival and tickets to the screening, visit: http://www.frightfest.co.uk/.
