Warren Zeiders

Pretty Little Poison

(Warner Records/Warner Music Nashville/WEA)

In his latest single, 24-year-old rising star Warren Zeiders sings about a relationship that’s as passionate as it is potentially toxic. Zeiders, who wrote the song with Jared Keim and Ryan Beaver, says the ballad is “about a relationship, a person, something in your life that you know is not good for you, but you continue to keep going back.” In this case, it’s a woman who nightly “rolls up when the wine is gone / Like a record on repeat / Leaning on old memories / And talking 'bout what we used to be / She'll probably be the death of me / But damn if it ain't sweet.” Describing the woman as the titular “pretty little poison,” he goes on to compare her kiss to cyanide. And like an addiction, he’s powerless to resist her, singing “We all need some kind of fix / For me she's the one I pick / Nothin' else will do the trick / She's all I need.” The gravelly-voiced singer’s unusual word pronunciations (atypical for someone hailing from Hershey, PA), make listeners lean in a bit to follow the story. “Pretty Little Poison” is the title track from Zeiders’ debut album, releasing on August 25th, and also the name of his headlining tour, which runs through mid-November. It’s the follow-up to his RIAA platinum-certified “Ride The Lightning.”

David Nail

David Nail released a four-song EP, "Best Of Me," on June 30th. It features several previous releases, plus brand-new song "Silverado" (listen here). Nail was a co-writer on all of the songs, and solo writer on "Best Of Me."

“'Silverado' is one of the most fun songs I’ve ever been a part of writing, and there was an immediate feeling in the room that this would be a blast playing live," said Nail, who has tour dates booked through early October. "We initially planned to release this last fall, but the pause allowed us to really take another look at it and, I think, enhance the overall sound."
