About SLASH: SLASH, the iconic, GRAMMY® Award-winning American rock guitarist, songwriter, and film producer, has sold more than 100 million albums, earned a GRAMMY Award and seven nominations, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and become a New York Times bestselling author. Considered one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time and one of the most recognizable figures in popular culture, SLASH was ranked No. 2, behind Jimi Hendrix, on TIME magazine’s list of “The 10 Greatest Electric Guitar Players.” As a member of Guns N’ Roses, SLASH created some of rock music’s most enduring guitar moments, including the signature riffs on the No. 1 hit “Sweet Child O’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle.” He later earned critical acclaim with Slash’s Snakepit and achieved global success with the supergroup Velvet Revolver before launching his solo career. SLASH’s chart-topping self-titled debut solo album, Slash (2010), featured collaborations with Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie, Myles Kennedy, and more. He subsequently formed SLASH FT. MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS, also known as SMKC, is Myles Kennedy on lead vocals, Todd Kerns on bass and vocals, Brent Fitz on drums, and Frank Sidoris on rhythm guitar. The band has toured the world and recorded music together for more than a decade. SMKC released its debut album, Apocalyptic Love (2012), which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Top Rock Albums chart. The album produced the band’s first No. 1 rock-radio hits, “You’re a Lie” and “Standing in the Sun.” The band followed with World on Fire, whose title track reached No. 1 at U.S. rock radio, and Living the Dream (2018), which earned 10 Top 10 chart placements around the world and featured the Top 5 rock-radio single “Driving Rain.” In 2022, SMKC released 4 via Gibson Records. Produced by Dave Cobb and recorded live at Nashville’s famed RCA Studio A, the album debuted as the No. 1 bestselling hard-rock album. Its lead single, “The River Is Rising,” became SMKC’s eighth consecutive Top 10 rock-radio single. In 2016, Guns N’ Roses reunited, with SLASH joining Axl Rose and Duff McKagan for the band’s historic return to the global stage. SLASH FT. MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS release their fifth studio album, FLYING BLIND, on Feb. 26, 2027, via Gibson Records. The band’s first full-length studio album since 4. “It’s a fun, kind of spontaneous rock ’n’ roll record,” says SLASH. “It’s very simple and down to earth and raw.” Recorded with producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette, FLYING BLIND features 12 new tracks ranging from the driving attack of opener “Avarice and Greed” and the talk-box hooks of “Good Time Girl” to the aggressive crunch of “One of Your Kind,” the instrumental guitar showcase “Living the Dream,” the pedal steel-inflected “Looking for a Miracle,” and the majestic closing track, “Stem the Flow.” Hard-hitting, spontaneous, and wide-ranging, FLYING BLIND captures SMKC sounding as loose, raw, and locked-in as ever. The album’s anthemic title track, “Flying Blind,” will arrive as its first single on October 2, 2026. For more information, visit www.slashonline.com.
