BLACK STONE CHERRY announces 'Celebrate' EP, shares single 'Neon Eyes'
23-09-2025
BLACK STONE CHERRY will release a new EP, “Celebrate”, digitally on March 6, 2026 via Mascot Records. The official music video for the EP’s first single, “Neon Eyes”, is now released.
Stream “Neon Eyes” below.
BLACK STONE CHERRY comments: “For ‘Neon Eyes’ we had the riff recorded on an iPhone and immediately wrote a song around it when we first started writing for this EP. We knew we wanted the main riff to also be the chorus so once we landed on the title, everything fell into place. A classic BSC banger.”
“Any piece of art is a snapshot of that artist’s life,” singer/guitarist Chris Robertson reasons. “So I look at these songs as a culmination of everything we’ve lived since ‘Screamin’ At The Sky’.”
“None of us are precious, because we’re all fighting on the same team,” guitarist Ben Wells says. “So John Fred [Young, drums] might have a guitar riff, or me or Chris might have a drum beat. And Steve [Jewell Jr.] is our bass player, but he played slide on the last album, and there’s parts on the new stuff where he plays guitar. It was cool to think you could start the day without a song, and five hours later walk out with a demo.”

01. Celebrate
02. Neon Eyes
03. Caught Up In The Up Down
04. I’m Fine
05. Deep
06. What You’re Made Of
