Joshua Thriller Unleashes Groovy New Single “Funky Promised Land”

Sicilian funk-soul-psychedelic rock ensemble Joshua Thriller announces the release of their explosive new single “Funky Promised Land.” The track serves as the opening statement for their highly anticipated concept album “Hard Times in Hollywood,” scheduled for summer 2025 release.

“Funky Promised Land” delivers an irresistible explosion of groove that pays homage to the legendary masters of the 60s and 70s while maintaining a distinctly modern edge. The single introduces listeners to a compelling narrative concept exploring the shadowy underbelly of the entertainment industry through the lens of raw, experimental soundscapes.

The song emerged from an inspired collaboration, beginning with a riff by guitarist Walter Russo and evolving through the band’s collective arrangements. Catania keyboardist Anthony Panebianco’s contribution adds a distinctive disco flavor that enriches the track’s dynamic palette.

The single’s cover art, designed by Elektra Nicotra, perfectly captures the era’s groovy aesthetic with contemporary irony. Featuring a Barbie-style African-American figure complete with afro and mustache, the artwork symbolizes the timeless funk vibe that permeates the track.

Following their 2024 single “Pick the Flowers,” which showcased hippie and Beatles influences, “Funky Promised Land” marks a deliberate return to the band’s soul and funk foundations while setting the stage for the more introspective and darker themes to come in “Hard Times in Hollywood.”

“Funky Promised Land” is available on all digital platforms.
