Read Billboard’s interview and listen to “I Am An Outsider” here. Recently, Three Days Grace debuted their new music video for the song “The Mountain” which Alt Press called a “…seismic new single” and has been streamed over 3.5M times on YouTube alone. The song is the #1 greatest gainer on the Active Rock Chart for the second week in a row, and currently top 10 on the Billboard and Mediabase charts.

  • Highly Volatile Into
    1 Highly Volatile: how your lame band taught you everything you need to know about business and finance. By David Lowery. 2 Introduction MEA CULPA Let me be honest. This is at best a collection of loosely related musings on business and finance. I have no practical advice. I have no grand theory. I have insight into why things fail, why they don't work. But what I offer here is not some sort of roadmap to success. I suspect no such roadmap exists. There are plenty of charlatans out there who claim to have one—my local bookstore has shelves filled with these books. But if the books were right, wouldn't most of us be successful? Sadly, people prefer simplicity and certainty, much like how they want simple choruses that say things like "let's get this party started" or "I'm sticking witchu." Genetically I am not hardwired to offer either. My career could at best be described as moderately successful: a few hits with a lot of rough periods in between. I've made stupid mistakes, wasted a lot of time and money on ill-advised endeavors, and only occasionally gotten back on track. And when I have gotten back on track—a minor hit, a song in a commercial, or a choice film placement—it has been largely due to luck or accidental good timing. Sometimes my ass has been 3 saved by events one could only describe as freakishly random. For instance, a few years ago a Greek pop producer used a sample of an instrumental I wrote in 1988.

    Presents A GHOST STORY A film by David Lowery (93 min., USA, 2017) Language: English Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1352 Dundas St. West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1Y2 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com @MongrelMedia MongrelMedia SYNOPSIS With A GHOST STORY acclaimed director David Lowery (AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS, PETE'S DRAGON) returns with a singular exploration of legacy, loss, and the essential human longing for meaning and connection. Recently deceased, a white-sheeted ghost (Academy Award-winner Casey Affleck) returns to his suburban home to console his bereft wife (Academy Award-nominee Rooney Mara), only to find that in his spectral state he has become unstuck in time, forced to watch passively as the life he knew and the woman he loves slowly slip away. Increasingly unmoored, the ghost embarks on a cosmic journey through memory and history, confronting life’s ineffable questions and the enormity of existence. An unforgettable meditation on love and grief, A GHOST STORY emerges ecstatic and surreal — a wholly unique experience that lingers long after the credits roll. ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Months before delighting global audiences with the critically acclaimed PETE’S DRAGON remake for the Walt Disney Company in the summer of 2016, writer-director David Lowery was already immersed in his next project — an independently produced, under-the-radar ghost story set in his native Texas that reunites the stars of his breakout feature, AIN'T THEM BODIES SAINTS.
