“When I was a kid I used to wait in anticipation for new episodes of MTV’s ‘Unplugged.’ I loved how artists would sit on stools in an intimate venue and perform their otherwise electrified songs on almost entirely acoustic instruments. At its best, ‘Unplugged’ versions of songs could outshine the ‘official’ versions,” Brett says. He reminisces on the incredible artistry and imagination of episodes featuring Nirvana, Neil Young and Jay-Z, all of whom showcased how a good song could be arranged in many ways, with different instruments, tempos, and altogether different life. When he and Josh were asked to do an acoustic tour in 2019 – the tour that led to their ultimate comeback – the duo began to strip […]

Alternative band Concrete Castles is thrilled to announce that they have signed to Velocity Records / Equal Vision Records, and today released their darkly intriguing debut single “Just a Friend.” In addition to their new labels, Concrete Castles has also signed with Sound Talent Group for booking and with KMGMT for management. Keep up with Concrete Castles at www.facebook.com/concretecastles.

“‘Just a Friend’ is about having trust issues and making a problem out of something before it even begins,” the band shares. “It’s being skeptical about a partner and not having enough trust to let them have friends or interact with anyone if it isn’t you.

Speaking on the story behind the track, vocalist/drummer Donovan Melero puts it best stating: “Lyrically, this song was written to outlive the relationship that it was written about. I wanted the words to hold true, no matter what the outcome, because of how strong of an emotion we felt towards each other. The chorus sums this up. ‘Wherever you end up, know that you’ve made your mark. […]
