Newcomer JJ PINESTONE is thrilled to take listeners on a nostalgic journey back to the 80s with his upcoming album Break The Chain, set for release on December 13th, 2024. Hailing from Finland, this rock n' roll act draws inspiration from iconic bands like GUNS N' ROSES, MÖTLEY CRÜE, POISON, and RATT, capturing the essence of that era. The album’s overarching theme delves into the hardships of life, offering a raw and powerful experience.

"Break the Chain" starts the album off strong. The title track sends an empowering message lyrically about the repetitive cycles of life and how easy it is to get stuck in them, almost like autopilot, and how we need to take a second to think, ‘breaking the chain’ of trends stemming from childhood. This track kicks off the rhythmic journey with power, delivering the important message to follow your own path rather than one dictated to you.

“On My Own” is second on the album and takes the word ballad, and adds a heavy twist to it. The theme of this song is breakups, and highlights how important the flow of time is to the healing process. Grief turns to strength, creating inspiration and new beginnings.Alongside the motivating lyrics, an uplifting, gritty performance leads into a slow, beautiful break, culminating in an iconic 80s-style solo with tones reminiscent of BON JOVI and other 80s icons.

The first single from the album, “Killshot”, highlights the conflict between self-destruction and determination. The heaviest track on the album blends modern metal with classic rock, featuring a variety of riffs, both fast and downtuned. This ties into the message of the title track—encouraging perseverance and the pursuit of your dreams, regardless of outside opinions or judgments.

“Fool’s Anthem” is the fourth song on the album, and it offers the most variety, blending diverse instruments, rap-style lyrics, and a straightforward atmosphere. The music amplifies the message about egotistical, narcissistic individuals and the subtle ways they manipulate others to maintain control, driven by their own insecurities.

Escaping negativity is the central message of “The Run”. Embodying the essence of rock 'n' roll, the track blends fast-paced rock with epic melodies, reinforcing lyrics about the importance of living life to the fullest. This ties into the overarching theme of the entire album.

Track six, “Scream For More”, shifts to a more uplifting tone, encouraging listeners to make memories and enjoy life. The song is 'literally pounding,' featuring heavy drums, palm-muted guitars, and layered vocals in multiple octaves that perfectly complement the energy of the track.

“Chiefs of Speed” closes the album perfectly with high-energy intensity and an electrifying solo, reinforcing the message that adrenaline and destiny go hand in hand—if you were born for it, the adrenaline will carry you through.

The artist comments: “The album 'Break The Chain' might be minutely short. But an album doesn’t have to be long, if the message comes across. Live as you wish, Don’t take shit from anybody and dream big. This is just the beginning of another rock’n roll icon in the making.”
