US heavy/hard rock artist Frank Palangi is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his fan-favorite single “Break These Chains”, originally released on August 28, 2015.
Produced by Daughtry guitarist Brian Craddock at the original Cat Room Recording Studio in VA, the single is being celebrated this month with its original release, behind-the-scenes interviews, music videos, and live performances
All of the live shows, songwriting, demo material, producing for local artists, voice overs, and acting kept Palangi busy during the 2010’s. “One day a fan of mine messaged me and said“hey I got VIP tickets for a special 60 personacoustic performance by Daughtry, do you want to go?” I thought it would socool to meet and see another one of my influences live. Chris Daughtry toured with Day Of Fire in the beginning of his career, and I handed a CD to Chris [Daughtry] like I had done to Josh Brown but it was his guitarist Brian Craddock who had been standing in the alley waiting for his limo as I went over and struck up a conversation. He mentioned he produced at the Cat Room Recording Studio and would listen. Feeling like I went full circle, I had that same feeling and reaction when he messaged shortly after, and I felt blessed to be planning out the 1st single “Break These Chains” that he produced.”
Plans for releasing a brand-new heavy rock EP for later 2026 are underway titled “VAMPIRE EP”. This will be the first EP release since 2022.
The artist’s mantra, “I have no plan B in backing down on my dreams,” reflects his relentless work ethic and positive outlook, a mindset he developed after turning to creative outlets like music and film during a childhood of managing health issues. Palangi’s conviction and high-energy performances have consistently landed him major opportunities, including opening slots for national acts such as 3 Doors Down, Red Sun Rising, Buckcherry, Candlebox, Aaron Lewis, Starset, Jack Russell’s Great White, TRAPT, FUEL, Kip Winger & many more.
