Brighton, Sussex alternative rock powerhouse Veritas Lit have officially landed on the Discover Music.fm A-List Playlist with two striking new releases — “Sanctuary of the Lost” and their six-minute-plus rock opus “Ruins.” Together, the tracks showcase the band’s distinctive sound: darkly melodic, cinematic, and emotionally charged.

“Sanctuary of the Lost” channels the essence of Evanescence and All About Eve, yet carries its own grit and atmosphere. Opening with slow, haunting sound, the track builds into an epic fusion of ethereal vocals, mammoth epic guitars and powerful cinematic drumming. Its beauty lies in contrast — delicate and angelic one moment, roaring and fierce the next — creating a sound that feels cinematic, soulful, and alive.

“Ruins,” the band’s defining rock opus, runs over six minutes and plays like a dark hymn for the modern age. Orchestral strings and haunting melodies build tension before erupting into a dramatic, Bonnie Tyler-style crescendo. The voice soars with emotion, at times echoing the spiritual power of Turkish star Sertab. It’s poetic, independent, and cinematic — a grand statement that blends rock and symphonic storytelling with fearless creativity. A bold fusion of ethereal vocals, orchestral drama, and rock energy sets Veritas Lit apart.

Both tracks are now featured as a double ROCK SPECIAL Powerplay at 8:30 PM Pacific USA time on the Discover Music.fm A-List Playlist, airing back-to-back daily for the next month. Across both releases, Veritas Lit have already gained over 50K views on TikTok, with fans praising their cinematic sound and visual artistry.

Discover Music.fm readers are the first to preview the official music video for “Ruins.” The video concept, developed closely with the band, grows darker and more intense as the song unfolds — a visual reflection of the lyrics and the emotional journey within. According to the band, “Ruins” was one of their most demanding songs to complete, but the final result captures their artistic vision in full.

Veritas Lit are now preparing for their next chapter, with upcoming releases including “The Universe at Our Feet”, followed by “Until My Dying Breath” and “Through the Mist” in November. Their forthcoming album, due out in 2026, will include two exclusive unreleased tracks and promises to elevate their reputation as one of the UK’s most cinematic and emotionally charged alternative rock acts.

The song’s texture brings together shades of Tom Petty, Black Sabbath, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, mixed with an edge of early Adam and the Ants. While it begins as a heartfelt chugging rock song, by the end it evolves into a sing-along arena rock anthem that compels listeners to move.

Goldy Locks Sparks a Movement With Bold New Campaign: “Buy the Record, Not the Bod”

Nashville, TN – July 11, 2025 – Goldy Locks, lead vocalist of The Goldy lockS Band and a pioneer in both rock and pro wrestling, has launched a powerful new campaign confronting the objectification of women in music. Titled “Buy the Record, Not the Bod,” the campaign challenges fans to support the art, not the image, and reignites a national conversation around how female artists are treated — and how they survive.

Known for her fearless performances and outspoken personality, Goldy has built a career that spans reality television, wrestling, entrepreneurship, and now full-throttle rock. She’s opened for artists like Pink, Nickelback, and Bret Michaels, all while performing high-energy shows across the country. But her latest move may be her most impactful yet.

In a striking photo campaign, Goldy poses nude, holding only physical copies of her music. The message is direct: support the artist, not just the image.

“I’m tired of hearing people say, ‘start an OnlyFans if you want to keep making music,’” says Goldy. “This campaign is my answer. I’ll be vulnerable to make a statement, not for subscriptions. If you love an artist, buy the album. Don’t just stream it and scroll away.”

Streaming royalties pay a fraction of what artists need to survive. While millions consume music daily, the earnings for most independent artists fall well below the poverty line. Goldy’s response is rooted in resilience and a desire to show fans that real support means buying music, merch, and tickets.

“You want to support women in music? Buy the CD. Grab the vinyl. Wear the T-shirt. That’s how the music keeps going,” she says.

The campaign isn’t about modesty. It’s about reclaiming agency. Goldy is asking fans to stand up for the creators they love and reject the pressure placed on women to monetize their appearance.

The idea, Goldy says, came to her during prayer. “I asked for guidance on what to do next, and this vision came to me. I started pitching the idea to store owners and every single one said yes before I even finished explaining.”

Her message is resonating. Fans are sharing photos, purchases, and stories under the hashtag #BuyTheRecordNotTheBod, helping spread the word and amplifying the voices of independent women in music.

Meanwhile, Goldy’s new collaborative single “I Didn’t Know” — featuring country rap icons The LACS and wrestling legend Mickie James Aldis — continues to expand her reach and artistic vision, tackling themes of betrayal, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

For Goldy, this moment is about more than just one campaign. It’s about shifting the narrative for the next generation of female artists.

“I want to show young women they don’t have to sell themselves short. They don’t need to play to an algorithm. They can lead with truth, talent, and courage.”

Fans are encouraged to join the movement by:

• Purchasing music directly from independent artists
• Buying physical albums, vinyl, and merch
• Sharing indie music on social media
• Starting conversations about respect and representation in entertainment

As Goldy puts it, “This isn’t about shock. It’s about survival. The question is simple — will you support the music, or just consume the image?”

Support the Movement. Fuel the Music.

Goldy Locks is proving that talent, truth, and grit still have a place in the music industry — and she’s calling on fans everywhere to help keep it alive. Whether through physical album sales, merchandise, or simply spreading the word, “Buy the Record, Not the Bod” is more than a campaign. It’s a stand for artistic integrity.

In a powerful twist on the campaign, drummer Rod Saylor coined “Buy the Record, Not the ROD,” adding a male perspective that drills into the double standard around male nudity and vulnerability in media—while underscoring the band’s unity in rallying for fair streaming payouts and true artistic empowerment.
