DownTown Mystic Releases New Single 'One More Chance', Heralding Upcoming Album

DownTown Mystic, the US Roots Rock project led by Robert Allen, is poised to make waves in the music industry with the release of their new digital single 'One More Chance' on January 24, 2025. This release, announced by Sha-La Music Inc., marks another milestone in the artist's prolific career and sets the stage for the highly anticipated album 'The Wish', slated for release on April 11.

The single, which will be distributed worldwide via The Orchard/Sony Music, features two tracks: the titular 'One More Chance' and 'Read The Signs'. Both songs showcase a collaboration between Robert Allen and longtime DownTown Mystic ally Bruce Engler, who co-wrote the tracks and contributes lead guitar and vocals. The release is particularly poignant as it includes one of the last recordings of drummer Tommy Mastro, who passed away due to ALS.

DownTown Mystic's latest offering continues the positive messaging evident in their previous release, 'Better Day'. Robert Allen emphasizes the intention behind his music, stating, 'I want to put out positive vibes in the world with my music. It's why I make music. One More Chance is a song of hope and light.' This approach aligns with the band's growing global appeal, which has seen them receive airplay in over 50 countries.

The release of 'One More Chance' follows a remarkably productive 2024 for DownTown Mystic, during which they put out seven releases, including singles, EPs, and albums. This prolific output has helped solidify their position in the music industry and expand their fanbase. The band's success extends beyond traditional music channels, with DownTown Mystic becoming one of the top sync-licensed artists in the industry. Their music has been featured in over 240 TV shows and films, with upcoming placements in high-profile movies starring Dennis Quaid, Bryan Cranston, and Allison Janney.

The single's release strategy includes a radio drop on January 14, with Brandon Day of Tinderbox Music handling promotion. Additionally, an AI-generated video for 'One More Chance', created by Joshua Elyashiv of the band SHIV, premiered on YouTube on New Year's Day, showcasing the project's embrace of innovative promotional techniques.

Critics have praised DownTown Mystic's work, with American Songwriter noting the 'energy and electricity that rarely subsides' in their music. Jamsphere Magazine commended Robert Allen's 'sheer power of musicality', while AXS highlighted his ability to create music that sounds 'vintage with a modern twist'.

The continued success and productivity of DownTown Mystic underscore the enduring appeal of roots rock in the contemporary music landscape. As independent artists like DownTown Mystic find success through a combination of traditional releases, sync licensing, and innovative promotion, they demonstrate the evolving nature of the music industry and the multiple avenues available for artists to reach their audience.

With 'One More Chance' setting the tone for 2025, music enthusiasts and industry watchers alike will be keeping a close eye on DownTown Mystic as they build towards the release of 'The Wish' in April. The band's ability to maintain a consistent output of quality music while expanding their reach through sync licensing and international airplay positions them as a notable force in the independent music scene.
