Having just wrapped up an acoustic U.S. tour supporting multi-Platinum rockers Theory of a Deadman, CORY MARKS invites listeners to crank up the volume and join him for the release of his sophomore album, SORRY FOR NOTHING, out today, December 6, via Better Noise Music. The release is accompanied by the music video for its equally unapologetic title track. Watch it streaming below or via YouTube HERE. SORRY FOR NOTHING is available now on exclusive red vinyl, CD, and digital download at https://corymarks.ffm.to/sfn. Exclusive merch bundles are available HERE at the BNM European label store.
“‘Sorry For Nothing’ is one of my favorite songs on the album and hits home for me in a nostalgic way,” exclaims CORY. “Where I came from, what I've been through, and where I'm going. It’s for any small-town kid with a dream—and believe me, there will be roadblocks...but keep working towards it and be sorry for nothing!”
SORRY FOR NOTHING delivers a double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between arena rock and roots country. The album follows CORY’s successful debut, Who I Am, which included the hit single “Outlaws & Outsiders.” That song made history as the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act and received Platinum certification in Canada and Gold in the U.S.
Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain, Papa Roach), alongside Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman) and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), SORRY FOR NOTHING features tracks that range from Haggard-like country and virtual bluegrass to straight-up arena anthems and almost Pantera-like hard metal. The album even blends both styles within single songs. Guest appearances include Sully Erna of Godsmack, Travis Tritt, and Mick Mars on “(Make My) Country Rock”--currently climbing the Active Rock radio charts (now at #20)—as well as DL of Bad Wolves on “Guilty.”
“The record is really who I am,” says CORY. “The title says it all. I love rock and I love country. I’ve always wanted to be part of something, but I pave my own lane, do what I want to do, and try to bring people together. Whether you’re a rock fan, a metal fan, or a country music fan, my mission is to reach anyone who feels a little different.”
“It’s a kick in the ass—the good, the bad, and the ugly; the ups and downs of life—adding that little bit of fuel to the fire to keep you fighting and keep your eye on the prize. There are songs for partying, songs to reflect on life and have a good cry, love songs… something for everyone.”
