Sourcing director Dale ‘Rage’ Resteghini to capture the high-octane energy of the track, the visual positions Taylor and his band in California’s Mojave desert, taking over a tagged up, concrete wasteland/skatepark. Surrounded by a crew of passionate supporters, the single rallies an infectious chant that compels fans to sing in unison, “No way to beat me/ No way to win!”

The unveiling completes an album rollout that saw a powerful succession of potent singles including “Beyond”, “Post-Traumatic Blues” and last month’s boldly confrontational, “Talk Sick”.

In the weeks since the arrival of the inital single, “Beyond” continues to land effectively with Taylor’s most supportive base, positioned firmly in the Top 15 at Rock Radio. The entry also landed the cover and coveted #1 on Spotify’s Rock Hard playlist. 

The eagerly-awaited follow-up to the widely-acclaimed debut in CMFT, boasts added significance of the for Taylor, with the release marking the inaugural release via his own imprint, Decibel Cooper.

Teaming with producer Jay Ruston who previously worked with Taylor on both Stone Sour’s Hydrograd as well as the CMFT debut, the second installment of the series finds Taylor leveling up his artistry both as a frontman and a seasoned songwriter. Singing, playing both lead and rhythm guitar, as well as piano and mandolin, CMF2 offers testament to the full range of Taylor’s ever-evolving performative prowess.

Coinciding with the arrival of CMF2, Taylor is currently on an extensive North American headlining tour, which kicked off last month. The run features supporting sets from Wargasm, Oxymorrons and Luna Aura on select dates and will feature several festival appearances including Louder Than Life and a finale at Aftershock in Sacramento this October.

Closing out the year, Taylor will then make his live return to Europe and the UK to showcase live selections from CMF2. This November, Taylor will headline a succession of live dates touching down in the UK, France, Germany and The Netherlands in a hotly-anticipated tour run.
