Canadian rockers, Headstones, release their new full-length album, Flight Risk, today (October 14th) via Known Accomplice. Their new radio single, “Everything Or Nothing At All”, is a relentless, guitar driven track with dark and driving riffs that race to the finish line with a palpable urgency. Out now is the brand new Dylan-esque video for the track that was filmed with lead singer Hugh Dillon on-set of his show “Mayor of Kingstown,” which is currently in the midst of shooting season 2. Check it out below.

Flight Risk is pre-apocalyptic rock and roll at its finest, following up Headstones' 2019 release PeopleSkills, which garnered two Top 10 radio hits with “Leave It All Behind” and “Horses”.
This is one of the most subversive Headstones rock and roll records to date. Flight Risk is the result of years of relentless work ethic and dedication, a testament to the long-standing relationships within the band and their team. The album features a surprise co-write on the track "Ashes", between Hugh Dillon and long-time friend and collaborator Taylor Sheridan; one of the most prolific, premier storytellers of his time, and architect of hit series’ Yellowstone and 1883, Oscar-nominated films Sicario and Hell Or High Water.
The first track, “Tangled”, is a monstrously uncompromising ode to the 21st century, with elements of Link Wray, The Deadboys, and a hint of Dylan-esque disregard.
The title track, “Flight Risk”, is a defiant yet intricate juxtaposition of lyric and music, showcasing the band’s incredible songwriting talent, alongside Dillon’s rapid-fire vocals.
The album is available to order / save here.
