The Expendables To Launch ‘Winter Blackout’ In January

Featuring Geoff Weers (guitar/vocals), Adam Patterson (drums/vocals). Raul Bianchi (lead guitar) and Ryan DeMars (bass), The Expendables will launch the outing a week after the band’s sixth full-length studio album, Sand In The Sky, arrives Jan. 13.  The band has released a taste of the new album via a lyric video for “Starry Night.”

Pre-ordering the album from iTunes gives you an instant download of “Starry Night” along with another new track, “Music Move Me.”

Talking about The Expendables brings back memories here at Pollstar’s Fresno location.  The band stopped by and played a few tunes in early 2013.

“We are beyond excited to finally release Sand In The Sky. We know our fans have been waiting for new music and we can’t wait for everyone to hear it!” the band said in a statement.  “Go grab ‘Starry Night’ for free to hold you over until January and then get ready for us. This year’s ‘Winter Blackout Tour’ is going to be insane and we’re stoked to come to your city and rock your faces off!”
