July 3 — Jason Charles Miller gave audiences a lot to talk about this week.
The former Godhead front man turned southern rocker announced Wednesday, he has inked a new deal with One Opportunity Records. His first album for the label is scheduled for release Aug. 16 in the form of Knives in the Dark.
Miller talked about his new album, his fifth, in a prepared statement.
“This is the first album I’ve written where my only goal was to write the best songs I can, and not worry about where they might be categorized,” he said. “By not going out of my way to write for a specific genre, I’ve made what is, hands down, the best – and most representative – album of my career.”
In other news, Miller is scheduled to join Steel Panther on the road this summer in support of his new album, starting Aug. 23 in Buffalo, NY. The tour is scheduled to run through Sept. 14 in Jacksonville, NC. Following that run, Miller has select dates in South Korea and Japan scheduled, as well as a performance Dec. 14 in Los Angeles, CA.
