Train also announced today their new single "Bulletproof Picasso" and its forthcoming music video, which will feature guest stars Emily Kinney (Beth on AMC's The Walking Dead) and Reid Ewing (Dylan on ABC's Modern Family). The band performed the title track this morning on LIVE! with Kelly and Michael in its television debut, and the video will premiere on VEVO on Jan. 23.

Bulletproof Picasso--the band's 7(th) studio album--debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 in September 2014 and earned rave reviews. USA Today's Elysa Gardner remarks that "the best tracks... are the driving and high-spirited ones, where Pat Monahan's sweet, keening tenor - evoking cative here of a Wings-era Paul McCartney - rides meaty but crisply percussive arrangements" and Billboard's Richard Bienstock says the band's "wholehearted embrace of pop has unshackled Train, allowing it to revel in anything-goes stylistic tourism" that all feels "oddly cohesive, with the band's rocker roots showing an impressive pliability to move within pop's boundaries."

Train has successfully traveled the nearly-unnavigable path of a contemporary, hit-making rock band while keeping their heads. The climb to the top began in San Francisco in 1994. The original 5-member band tenaciously built a loyal following, leading up to their own self-titled debut album, released by Columbia in 1998. The tumbling wordplay of "Meet Virginia" gave them their first unlikely radio hit, with 2001's Drops Of Jupiter garnering multi-platinum status thanks to the double-Grammy winning title song that spent 10 months in the Top 40. In their typical 'you-gotta'-nail-it-down-motherfucker' style, the quixotic song snared the Best Rock Song trophy by beating out Coldplay and two U2 songs.

The group won another Grammy in 2011 for their global hit "Hey Soul Sister," the #1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010, from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San Francisco. Their most recent album, 2012's California 37 launched the hit "Drive By," which reached the Top 10 in 13 countries. They've sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, more than 30 million tracks, with multiple platinum/gold citations, including 3 Grammy Awards, 2 Billboard Music Awards and dozens of other honors. Additionally, Train's award-winning Save Me, San Francisco Wine Co. has recently released their 6th varietal, 'Bulletproof Picasso' sauvignon blanc. Proceeds from the wine support Family House, a San Francisco charity that supports families of children with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
