(New York, NY) - Music fans around the globe can click here to check out the exclusive worldwide premiere of Hurtsmile's new video for "Good Bye" on Taste Of Country.  The panoramic video with the decidedly acoustic and country-inspired sound is taken from the band's most recent studio album, RETROGRENADE.  Of the song, a departure from the rock-driven sound of the band, Hurtsmile frontman Gary Cherone commented, "We channeled our inner Eagles on this one; it's one of my favorites on the album.  My brother Mark wrote it and the lyrics are quite bittersweet."  "Good Bye" is the book-end companion piece to "Hello I Must Be Going," which made its premiere on Ultimate Classic Rock yesterday.  Click here to access the "Hello/Good Bye" graphic.

 

Hurtsmile is the collaboration of frontman extraordinaire/songwriter Gary Cherone (Extreme/Van Halen), his brother/guitarist Mark Cherone (Flesh/SuperZero), as well as bassist Joe Pessia (Tantric/DramaGods) and drummer Dana Spellman. Following up on the band's acclaimed self-titled debut in 2011, the fan-funded RETROGRENADE pays homage to almost every genre Gary Cherone has excelled at in the past.  Gary Cherone's career is rooted in classic rock, but his innate diversity and broad influences have created unexpected detours and surprises.  As frontman for the critically-acclaimed rock band Extreme, Cherone has sold more than ten million albums worldwide and continues to tour the world.  On a brief hiatus from Extreme, Cherone joined the legendary Van Halen and co-wrote their VH3 with the band and toured the world with them.

 

In 2011, Gary teamed up with his brother Mark Cherone, Joe Pessia and Dana Spellman to record the self-titled debut, HURTSMILE, a musically aggressive sucker punch to the face featuring Cherone's most provocative lyrics to date.  Hurtsmile's music is chock-full of swaggering guitars, soaring vocals and trademark eclecticism, with The Boston Globe declaring the quartet "hard-hitting."   Hurtsmile is Gary Cherone (vocals), Mark Cherone (guitars), Joe Pessia (bass, mandolin) and Dana Spellman (drums, percussion).
