Who On Earth: 'Any Other Way' - new single by US hard rock/metal torchbearers out 20th March 2026 | from album out 8th May

US hard rock/metal torchbearers Who On Earth have released a new single and accompanying video entitled ‘Any Other Way’ today (20th March). Existing fans of the band will recognise the song as a restructured, remixed, remastered and mostly re-recorded version of ‘Black Swan’, a highlight of their Mike Orlando produced 2022 album, ‘Blame’. With its 3 minute radio-friendly duration, they vow that “we are going to give this one the focus it deserves. Keep your ears wide open...!”

The band have also announced that their second album, ‘It Takes The Village’, will be issued on 8th May. Extending their potent partnership with Orlando, it will include ‘Any Other Way’ as well as the recent singles ‘Vigilance’ STREAM VIDEO and ‘Jane’ STREAM VIDEO. The last of these is a cover version of a 1979 song by Jefferson Starship. The album will be promoted on a May US tour with Fozzy.

Who On Earth began establishing a reputation through relentless gigging around the New York tri-state area, with founding members Coosh (vocals) and Pete Rizzi (bass) having previously torn up stages as MadHaus.

During 2020, the longtime collaborators shifted their focus from covers to original material, writing ten songs and entering Sonic Stomp Studio with producer Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Joined by drummer Joe D’Aqui, the group crafted a heavy, story-driven sound rooted in classic hard rock influences such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice in Chains and Tool. Despite delays caused by the pandemic, the sessions yielded ‘Blame’, their widely praised debut album released in late 2022.

Following the addition of guitarists Bruce Gatewood and Johnny James Barone, they gained further traction with a heavy rock reimagining of Toto’s ‘Hold The Line’. A line-up change brought in drummer Howie Fallon in 2024, though tragedy struck later that year with the passing of Gatewood. Jimmy Kocha joined in late 2024 as co-lead guitarist to solidify the current line-up.
