Multi-platinum hard rock icons Extreme - Gary Cherone (vocals), Nuno Bettencourt (guitar), Pat Badger (bass), and Kevin Figueiredo (drums) - are excited to share that their new album, SIX, has achieved global success following its release on June 9 via earMUSIC with several Top 10 international debut chart positions.
In the US, SIX sold an impressive 15k units in its first week and charted on five different Billboard charts: Top Hard Rock Albums, #2; Top Album Sales and Top Current Album Sales, #10; Independent Albums, #14; Artist Top 100, #42 and Top 200, #67.
Having seen unprecedented success following the March launch of SIX’s debut single “Rise” - -with over 3.3 million views to date - Extreme continued to deliver with two back-to-back singles in April, “Banshee” and “#REBEL,” which have both individually garnered over 1 million views. Most recently they unveiled the ballad “Other Side of The Rainbow” in May.
Recorded at Bettencourt’s home studio in Los Angeles, SIX swings between unapologetic fits of fret-burning hard rock and intimately introspective balladry. Order SIX here.
