Massachusetts rockers EXTREME continue to highlight the many sides of "Six", their first album for earMUSIC released in June 2023, with a new video for the charmingly gentle and lyrical track "Small Town Beautiful".
"Six" was conceived as an album-length journey. With the tenth video to be released from that album (a run that began with "Rise" amassing millions of views followed by "#Rebel", through "Thicker Than Blood", up to "Beautiful Girls" and "Save Me" garnering millions more) the story and the journey continue as Nuno Bettencourt, Gary Cherone, Pat Badger and Kevin Figueiredo explore the beauty in the small things of the places we call "home."
Bettencourt states: "'Small Town Beautiful'... is a beauty that is simple, kind and caring. You can see it in her smile, gentle, warm, pure, familiar. The girl next door from a small community, a small town that no matter where she will journey to, a big city or even off to serve... There is an aura, a glow around her...her small town comes with her wherever she goes and whomever she touches."
With "Small Town Beautiful", EXTREME also wishes to shine a light on fans' hometowns around the world — embracing where they come from.
Many of us leave our homes to chase our dreams, whatever those may be, but these small towns leave an everlasting mark on us. That is why EXTREME is asking all fans to be a part of this song and to journey together. The band will create a special fan-edit of the music video to feature the fans themselves... their hometowns and their stories.
Head over here to submit a photo in your small town for a chance to be featured in the new video. EXTREME wants to see the places that shaped the person that you are today. Because we all have a story to tell, and it starts with home.
The idea is to rally EXTREME fans around the song and create a virtual space where all can be "home" together as the holiday season approaches.
As most folks are thinking about being "home for the holidays," EXTREME will travel to India for the Bandland festival in November and has once again confirmed its presence on the Monsters Of Rock cruise in 2025.
"Six" landed at position No. 10 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with first-week sales of 12,500 copies. The set marked the band's first studio album since 2008. The act was last in the Top 10 with "III Sides To Every Story", which debuted and peaked at No. 10 back in October 1992.
