Los Angeles-based rock artist Andrew Browning and the 9 Pound Hammers are back with “Preachers of Doom,” the highly anticipated second single from their forthcoming album Love is a Beautiful Thing, set for release on November 22nd. Available now on all platforms, the single represents Browning’s latest exploration of California’s gritty and complex ethos.
“Preachers of Doom represents both a rejection of mainstream media disaster porn and an embrace of individual consciousness,” explains Browning. “It is inspired by the black consciousness of the soul music of the 1950s and 1960s.” This message intertwines with the track’s raw rock roots, challenging listeners to reject pessimism and seek clarity in an era dominated by divisive narratives.
“Preachers of Doom” follows the release of “Econoline,” a visceral anthem that captured the struggle of life on the road, filled with hard-driving riffs and intense storytelling that highlighted the highs and lows of a life constantly in motion. Both tracks showcase Browning’s keen sense for blending compelling narratives with California’s distinctive rock and Americana energy, a theme that runs throughout Love is a Beautiful Thing.
With Love is a Beautiful Thing, Browning and his band, the 9 Pound Hammers, have taken their music to new heights, teaming up with an elite group of musicians and longtime producer Derek O’Brien (Social Distortion, Agent Orange). This album was recorded at 4th Street Recording in Santa Monica, a choice that reflects Browning’s desire to root his work in California’s unique sound and culture. “This record is a tribute to both the grit and beauty of California, exploring love in all its messy, unrefined facets,” says Browning.
From the powerful messages in “Preachers of Doom” to the soulful anthems like “Econoline,” Andrew Browning and the 9 Pound Hammers continue to forge a path that is unapologetically raw, resonant, and authentically Californian. This single adds to Browning’s growing discography, known for narratives that resonate with listeners across generations and geographies.
