Chris Jericho‘s rock band Fozzy just released its latest studio album, Boombox, on May 6.
This is the eighth studio album for Chris Jericho, who has made an extensive career for himself in not only the world of professional wrestling but the music industry as well. The album features three singles; the band released “Nowhere To Run” and “Sane” before the latest track, “I Still Burn” hit the airwaves ahead of the album release.
The following is a press release from Fozzy regarding their latest studio album, Boombox, available now:
May 6, 2022 – Today, international rock powerhouse Fozzy, led by multi-hyphenate superstar Chris Jericho and acclaimed guitar guru Rich Ward, has released their highly anticipated new studio album, Boombox, via The Century Family/Sony. PRESS HERE to listen. Boombox, Fozzy’s eighth full-length album produced by Johnny Andrews, features the band’s anthemic new single “I Still Burn,” which is quickly rising up the Active Rock radio charts, currently at #24. The 12-track collection also features their Top 10 singles “Nowhere To Run” and “Sane.” Boombox, the follow-up to their massive 2017 album Judas,is available now digitally and on CD with vinyl shipping later this year.
“After already having three charting hits over the past 18 months from an album that is only now getting released, AND then playing them (along with three other bangers from the record) live every night, I can honestly say that Boombox is going to be a SMASH hit for our band!” shares Chris Jericho. “Watching the fans and friends of Fozzy rock out to these new tunes nightly with open arms and open legs confirms that we were 1000% correct in waiting until the time was 1000% right to release what we feel is THE album of our career. And the best part is the other six songs that haven’t been heard by anybody yet might even be better than the ones you already love! But now the time has finally come…so sit back, relax and crank up the Boombox!!”
Fozzy first introduced this chapter in their decades-long career in 2019 with the release of the gritty rocker “Nowhere To Run” and then followed it up in 2021 with “Sane,” an ode to those who live their lives a bit crazier than the average person and Boombox’s opening track. The band’s latest single “I Still Burn” is a visceral anthem that speaks to Fozzy’s unwavering drive. Serving as the band’s mission statement, the song is the story of the dreams, passion and fire that lie within all of us to be the absolute best and to do whatever it takes to achieve the goals to make dreams come true. The official music video for “I Still Burn” has amassed over 700K views since its release last month – PRESS HERE to watch. Elsewhere on Boomboxis the reflective power ballad “Army of One,” arena-ready “Purifier” and an unexpected cover of Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s “Relax.” Full track listing for Boombox below.
