Produced by Dusten Boles

(Make Me Famous, Peyton Parish, Tommy Vext, A Killer’s Confession)

Under Black Sky shares, “For Bon Jovi’s 40th anniversary, we wanted to pay homage with our rendition of ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’. We wish them well and can’t wait to see them back ‘bigger and better’ than ever, doing what they do best! After all, so many of today’s rock bands wouldn’t exist today without pioneers like Bon Jovi that helped pave the way for so many.” –

Beloved Glam icons Jon Bon Jovi and Rickie Sambora were originally inspired to write “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page”. The rock duo created this legendary worldwide hit that now, nearly 40 years later, still stands the test of time.

Under Black Sky proudly dare to modernize this timeless track in celebration of good music loved by all.

About Under Black Sky:

In the twilight of 2022, a transformative evolution took place within the musical realms as Under Black Sky emerged, shedding its previous identity as Farewell to Fear. The metamorphosis was not arbitrary but a culmination of years spent honing their craft through recording and touring across North America. Under the banner of Farewell to Fear, they graced stages of major rock festivals like Welcome to Rockville, Inkcarceration Fest, WJRR’s Earth Day Birthday, and Blue Ridge Rock Fest. The band also toured extensively alongside eminent acts Fozzy, Like A Storm, Palisades, Jared James Nichols, and FLAW.

However, the universe threw an unexpected curveball in the form of the global COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of succumbing to the challenges, the band seized this moment of introspection and emerged with a renewed perspective. Out of the shadows of uncertainty, Under Black Sky was born—a musical phoenix rising from the ashes of adversity.
