WARNING: Please listen with caution while driving. You will bang your head on the steering wheel and thrust your fist through the roof while putting the pedal to the metal. The artist, record label and their representatives assume no responsibility for reckless behavior induced by this audio experience.

RFK Media(the label that brought you Ron Keel’s “KEELWORLD,” Cold Sweat’s “Unburied Alive,” and Crashing Wayward’s “Listen!”) now offer “Represent,” a special two-track single from Blond Viper, available September 27th 2024 on all digital and streaming platforms. This all-star collaboration features a multitude of the Midwest’s finest vocalists and musicians joining forces to represent the rock n roll spirit that connects us all.

The “A-side” of the digital single is an epic nine minute version of the song that showcases sixteen (16!) of the region’s reigning axe-slingers ripping through an extended guitar solo, while the “B-side” is a special radio edit that will hook you so hard you’ll be forced to listen to the extended A-side version.

“It’s been a goal of ours since we launched RFK Media to find a way to support some original music and musicians from my adopted home state of South Dakota and the surrounding region,” expresses label manager (and guest vocalist) Ron Keel. “Blond Viper has created the perfect opportunity for us to do that – a powerful metal anthem with an incredible guest list. And in the tradition of previous supergroup-style efforts, we’re donating all the profits to the Tunnel To Towers Foundation (https://t2t.org).”  

Blond Viper guitarist/composer Eldon Fisher adds, “This is Midwest metal’s tribute to the spirit that gave us ‘We Are The World’ and Ronnie James Dio’s ‘Hear ‘N Aid’ project. It was a massive undertaking, we’re blown away by the contributions of everyone involved, and we’re excited to share this with metalheads everywhere.” Blond Viper is Fisher, vocalist/bassist Todd Magnuson, vocalist Terri Lawrenz, and drummer Rich Dahl; the extensive list of guest vocalists includes Keel, Beth N. Brennan (who fronts Minneapolis-based tribute band Queen Of The Ryche), Wally Joseph (Skywind, Crash Anthem) and Rex Scott (Zion, X-Sinner).

“Represent” was produced and mixed by South Dakota Rock N Roll Hall Of Famer Mike Dresch (who also throws down on lead guitar). The full credits, including a solo key which guides you through the lead guitar solos, can be found below.
