Genre-blending musician Cory Marks shares a pair of new singles from his second full-length album, Sorry For Nothing, out on December 6 via Better Noise Music.
‘Fast As I Can’ is an exciting, feel-good country track with a fun, foot-stomping chorus that will have you hooked and singing along to every word, whilst ‘Whiskey For Sale’ is a perfect blend of bluegrass, country, and a heavy rock chorus, narrating a love story that has taken a turn.
“The record is really who I am,” says Cory. “The title says it all. I love rock and I love country. It’s a kick in the ass, the good, the bad and the ugly, the ups and downs of life, adding that little bit of fuel to the fire to keep you fighting, to keep your eye on the prize. There are songs for partying, songs to look back on life and have a good cry, love songs…something for everyone.”

Sorry For Nothing is the follow-up to Marks’ successful debut, Who I Am. It generated the hit single ‘Outlaws & Outsiders’, which charted at #1 in the US on Billboard’s “Rock Digital Song Sales” chart and #5 on iTunes “Country Songs, while making history as the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act.
Produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain, Papa Roach), Kile Odell (Nita Strauss, David Draiman), and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), Sorry For Nothing’s is an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between roots country and arena-rock.
“They’re all Cory Marks,” says Marks. “I’m very familiar with both genres. I try to mix country music with rock and a dash of metal, mash it all up and that’s my sound. This album features the best songs I’ve written since Covid. It’s a kick in the ass, the good, the bad and the ugly, the ups and downs of life, adding that little bit of fuel to the fire to keep you fighting, to keep your eye on the prize. There are songs for partying, songs to look back on life and have a good cry, love songs… something for everyone. Whether you’re a rock fan, a metal fan or a country music fan, my mission is to reach anyone who feels a little different.”
Marks will be headed to the US this autumn opening for multi-platinum rock Theory of A Deadman. The tour stretches from October 29 to November 23 and will see Marks performing an acoustic set featuring music from Sorry For Nothing alongside past hits.
