Playhouse released a new album 'Broken And The Damned' plus New Single/Video For 'Promises'

The highly anticipated follow-up to 2022's "Dancing At Funerals," the album (EP) picks up where "Dancing" left off; more of the smooth hooks and melodies, but a deeper and tighter flow. The second single, "Promises," brings a more subtle and deeper edge. The song offers the textbook, Playhouse sound, but adds more of the melodic rock side. The video is directed once again by Jared Pollack and captures the band in rehearsal, performing "Promises," interwoven with a collection of vintage photos from the band's early days —some of which have never been seen before. For dedicated fans, the video offers an opportunity to see the band from another aspect while transcending the timeline. The clip offers a glimpse into Playhouse's early days showing that time may change, but the young heart of the music will always move and live on. The album, "Broken And The Damned," delivers 5 of the the bands best tracks to date and proves that Playhouse, even after 37 years together, still has as much punch and melody as when they first started.

"Broken And The Damned" was once again produced by the legendary Canadian producer, Kevin Jardine (Faith No More, Mastodon, Run DMC, Cypress Hill, Anthrax, Korn, Sepultura, Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass, Men Without Hats). This new material will appeal to the bands core fans, but will also be expressive and inviting to new listeners as well.

Formed in 1987, five high school friends set out to be the biggest rock band to ever come out of Canada. With a reputation for their high energy shows and big anthems, they quickly began filling every club & theater that they played. The band was destined for global success, selling thousands of copies of their two EP's; 1988's 'Little Monster' and 1990's 'Tongue, Tied & Twisted'. Just like so many bands in the early 90's, the success that seemed to be theirs for the taking never fully manifested and after almost a decade of decadence and steady touring in support of such bands as Extreme, Killer Dwarfs, Lee Aaron and Harem Scarem, the band decided to call it quits. It was an end of an era.........but some things never fully come to an end.

Fast forward to 2016 – the band reunites and enters the studio with veteran producer and guitarist of Slaves on Dope; Kevin Jardine, to record new songs. In 2017, for the 1st time in 25 years, Playhouse returned to the stage with a sold out comeback show in Montreal, Canada. Many high profile shows followed, including opening slots for The Dead Daisies, L.A. Guns, Buckcherry, Dizzy Reed's Hookers & Blow, Helix, and Warrior Soul. The band also releases their first album 'The Rock N' Roll Circus' to critical acclaim in 2018 and followed that up with a single and video, 'Revolution Tonight', in 2020.
