ARTIFICIAL AGENT RELEASE “WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE” COVER WITH THE MOTOR CITY HORNS

Just in time for the season of chills and thrills, Detroit rock powerhouses Artificial Agent have teamed up with the legendary Motor City Horns to release their explosive new single, a reimagined cover of Alice Cooper’s classic “Welcome to My Nightmare.”

Artificial Agent — Derek Jendza (Lead Vocals), Karl Crafton (Drums), Mike Elgert (Lead Guitar & Vocals), and Brad Jendza (Bass Guitar & Lead Vocals) — bring their hard-hitting, glam-infused style to the track, blending heavy riffs, theatrical vocals, and irresistible hooks. The Motor City Horns — John Rutherford (Trombone), Keith Kaminski (Saxophone), and Walter White (Trumpet) — add a bold, brassy punch that turns the nightmare into a Detroit-sized spectacle.

Adding a family twist to the fright, the single also features guest vocals from Brad Jendza’s two daughters. “This song is part of Detroit’s DNA,” says Derek Jendza of Artificial Agent. “Alice Cooper gave the world an anthem for nightmares, and we wanted to pay tribute in a way that felt both bigger and closer to home. With the Motor City Horns — and Brad’s girls singing — it became the perfect track to celebrate October, Halloween, and Detroit itself.”

From its sinister groove to its massive brass section, “Welcome to My Nightmare” isn’t just a cover — it’s a celebration of Detroit rock ’n’ roll, family, and the spooky spirit of Halloween.

Hailing from Detroit, Artificial Agent channels the spirit of rock giants like KISS, Queen, and Mötley Crüe, blending infectious hooks with heavy riffs and over-the-top showmanship. Their music pushes boundaries while staying rooted in the Motor City’s proud rock tradition. The band has also served as direct support for national acts such as Alice Cooper, Ace Frehley, Poison, Eagles of Death Metal, Ratt, Sebastian Bach, and many others.

The Motor City Horns are one of the most in-demand horn sections in the world, known for their powerhouse performances with artists such as Bob Seger and many others. They have recorded on over 60 albums — including Alice Cooper’s Detroit Stories — and toured extensively with Bob Seger, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, and countless others. Their bold, brassy sound has become a Detroit institution.
