Coming out of California’s music scene, The Project is the latest endeavour led by James Davis, an accomplished talent with deep roots in Southern California rock. Known for his role as the lead guitarist of the 2000s sensation Shameless, he’s now formed a new supergroup that promises to make its own mar on the music landscape. “This isn’t necessarily a band—it’s a living, breathing collaboration. Every track will feel different. That’s the point,” James shares.
James Davis is no stranger to success; with accolades like Best Hard Rock Band at the Southern California Music Awards in 2006 and Best Metal Band at the Inland Empire Music Awards in 2006 with Shameless, his legacy is already well-established. With The Project, he aims to blend the best elements of pop and rock, showcasing an evolution in his artistic repertoire.
The band already boasts the talents of several accomplished musicians with additional surprise members set to join, adding to the excitement surrounding this ensemble. In October 2023, The Project debuted with their single “Best Days,” followed by a string of well-received tracks, including a collaboration with Mykele Hill on “What’s It Going To Take.”
With their debut full-length record on the horizon, The Project has continued sharing a string of singles while rehearsing for live shows later this year and a full tour across the USA, UK and Japan this year. Bringing us their latest release they share their latest single titled “death of me,” an epic retro rock pop outing packed full of catchy hooks and slick guitar-driven instrumentation.
Kicked off by the crash of rolling drums and jangling guitars, the twang of lead notes injects a blues rock vibe before the verse arrives with charging punk pop vibes. Led by commanding vocal delivery spinning infectious melodic leads and the drive of rock arrangement, the chorus launches into a fiercely catchy sound of memorable lines cut with flashes of lead guitar licks.
Brimming with exhilarating rock energy and brought to life by superb musicianship and vocals, “death of me” sees The Project continue to go from strength to strength with each move. With their upcoming debut record on the horizon, this band is most certainly a must watch act with a compelling sound that takes cues from the past to offer a rock music experience for today.
