Coming in once again from Toronto, Canada: The Reed Effect bends, beguiles, and rocks with "Trampled Under" -their next full-force single/video from their album1973.
With Lead Vocalist/Guitarist Kirk Reed continuing to honor the memory of his late brother, Chris Reed (bass/backing vocals), The Reed Effect has carried forward their mission to feed the hungry ears of the music masses worldwide. "Trampled Under" is the foundational track upon which their album 1973 that has been solidly built.
WATCH -- PREVIOUS RELEASES FROM THEIR ALBUM 1973 - "Rise Up" and "Fine Here"
"Trampled Under"is arguably the strongest track from this album. It definitely stands out as it's the darkest and most emotional. All the other tracks are rockers. Also, the song was all developed around Chris's unique bass line. I remember Chris, Bryan Fontez, and I spent the better part of a day just working out the main riff until we were happy with it. We feel it reached its highest potential."' - Kirk Reed
2020 was a hard year for all of us and The Reed Effect has definitely felt that pain. Chris Reed, bassist, vocalist, bandmate, friend, and brother tragically took his own life on October 10th, 2020, just as the new music was about to be released. Being very close, Chris's death hit Kirk hard. But Kirk feels it is important to let the world hear this music - not just as a tribute to Chris and his legacy, but as a celebration of their collaboration and brotherly love.

The wait is over forMoments, the brand new EP fromPost pop-punk band Dear Spring. Featuringrecent singles “Empty Frames,” “Newspeak,” and “Every Now And Then,” Moments has captured the attention of Ones To Watch,Chorus.fm,New Noise Magazine, and more with its “aggressive guitars, emotive vocals, and a rhythm section that hits like a freight train” (Under The Radar). The EP is out now via Open Your Ears Records and can be streamed online at https://orcd.co/momentsds.
Speaking on the EP the band shares, “The ‘Moments’ EP represents an evolution of Dear Spring's sound and thus far, the biggest step forward for the band. Dear Spring’s once disparate influences of up-beat Pop Punk, pensive Emo, and emotional Post-Hardcore have found their center with the Washington D.C. quartet’s latest 6-song offering. Conceived during a time of self-transformation, "Moments" intimately captures a snapshot in the life of the band. Themes of isolation and loss are explored on the EP's opening track "Wooden Fences.” The album’s second track, “Vultures” touches on the band’s grungier influences in the vehicle of a siren’s song. The EP's lead single, “Every Now And Then”, focuses on self-improvement and the longing for human connection in a time of great disconnection. The EP’s second single, "Newspeak", examines self-destructive tendencies and the struggle of expression in an age of extreme polarization. The EP’s closer, “Empty Frames” is an introspective accounting of the damage and ongoing struggles of being neurodivergent. With Man Overboard’s Nik Bruzzese returning to produce and Fairweather’s Ben Green joining to mix the record, ‘Moments’ is poised to be Dear Spring’s most impactful release yet.”

Australian alternative bright lights Yours Truly have announced their brand new EP is this what i look like?which will be coming out July 15th, 2022 via UNFD. The band have also released a new song and video “Hallucinate” which features Josh Franceschi of You Me At Six. This will be the first full release from the band since their huge debut Self Care back in 2020, and also features a guest spot from DR€W ¥ORK from Stray From the Path.
Speaking about the new single Mikaila Delgadoexplains “’Hallucinate’ is an anxiety attack turned into music, detailing how it takes over your body so totally that it feels as if you're under the influence of something. I've struggled badly with anxiety and it's debilitating every day to be at war with your own thoughts. It's one of the darkest songs we've ever written but I found a lot of power in pulling out the chaos of how anxiety feels and sounds to me and putting it in a song.”
Watch the video for “Hallucinate”here.
This brilliant new EP marks the start of a new chapter for Yours Truly, inspired by the music they are all collectively listening to now (Bring Me The Horizon, The 1975, Bloc Party, Head Automatica), the seven tracks see the band scatter in every direction possible. There’s the electro-thrash of “Lights On”, the aching alt-rock swagger of recent single “Walk Over My Grave” and the fearless pop stomp of “If You’re Drowning (I’ll Learn How To Hold My Breath)”. Though actually, this new EP was never meant to be a bold step forward for the group, and was originally planned as a three-track companion to their debut album Self-Care, called Self-Sabotage. The EP was meant to tackle something other than the “sunshine and butterflies” of their debut album, dig deeper, be more true and reflective of the band now. “We spent that whole album telling people everything was going to be alright but the world had clearly taken a turn. Over the past few years, self care has been incredibly difficult,” explains Delgado. “We wanted to explore 'that'.”
is this what i look like? stays true to that goal, but once they got into the studio with their “anything goes” attitude, they realized these songs “felt like a different universe entirely.” Rather than running scared or trying to dial it back, the band decided to jump in, accept these new challenges and make themselves at home. It’s a bold move for a band who, in it for the long haul, wanted to just gradually push things forward on every record. However two years without touring and without being able to get in the practice space together has changed that patient mindset. “Now we just want to write the songs we want to write. Let’s not be afraid. Let’s just be the best band we possibly can.”

Awake at Last released their new single titled "Bloodline"to all digital outlets!
"Bloodline" is available at:
WATCH Awake At Last - Bloodline (Official Music Video):
Awake At Last returned with a new single "Bloodline"on April 29th. Produced by Erik Ron (Godsmack, Black Veil Brides, I Prevail), the hard-hitting track contains plenty of angst at the current state of the world. “Bloodline is written from a perspective of frustration, and a reluctance to accept the current state we all live in. The song questions the media, and how during such a dark time people seemed to be more divided than ever, rather than come together. It asks the question of whether or not we can learn from history, or if we are doomed to repeat it. I wanted it to connect to the listeners who couldn’t help but worry about what is going to happen next and whether or not we can rely on the current state of media and information to be prepared for it.” - says the band's vocalist, Vincent Torres.

Indie artist OSLO is thrilled to announce their debut album, Great Places, set to be released on May 20th via their label Christmas Records. Self-produced and mixed by OSLO and mastered by Paul Leavitt(The Dangerous Summer, The Used, Turnstile), Great Places is an album born in isolation. The first single “Loma Prieta” is premiering now, exclusively on Brooklyn Vegan. To pre-save Great Places, please visit: smarturl.it/50sxxi.
Speaking on the new album, OSLO shares, “Great Places was written and recorded during a time of great anxiety, doubt and confusion for myself and the world in general. It’s about confronting the things we can’t control and clutching to the belief that there are better times ahead, especially when it doesn’t feel that way.”
He continues: “’Loma Prieta’ is about feeling like a disaster, even when you try to do the right thing and be the right person for everyone in your life. The video was filmed by Eric Elkin in the Palmer Square neighborhood of Chicago
OSLO is the brainchild of musician/songwriter/producerTJ Horansky. After nearly a decade of touring, 2020 forced the Chicago-based songwriter to hit the brakes and take a good look inward. OSLO is both a creative outlet and experiment in self-sufficiency. Learning how to produce, engineer and mix independently was a byproduct of the Covid-19 quarantine.

A Sympathetic Antipathy is the culmination of a few years of musical collaboration. The project was produced & co-written by Morgan Rose along with Leonard Cerzosie Jr., Corey Lowery, and Jim Taylor. In its various stages of recording, engineering talents include Jose Urquiza, James "Fluff" Harley, and Mike Ferretti. The initial inspiration for the EP was the passing of Lenny's mother after years of battling ALS. Tracks like "Miracle" were written about that struggle. Rose & Cerzosie have a history of writing & recording together and included a remastered version of a song they wrote with The Infinite Staircase in 2013 called "No Amends". Other musicians featured on the EP include Chris Caffrey of Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Justin Taylor of Alborn.
Lenne has plans to play in support of their new EP throughout 2022. The current band line up consists of heavy hitting, Maryland musicians Mike Slaski, Rob Landon, and Stephen Hybdzinski; alongside Evan Crider ,Taylor from PA and Cerzosie from NY.
"This was originally supposed to just be a session in Atlanta with Morgan & Corey. The plan was to do a song in honor of my mom. We ended up having such cool, sometimes borderline morbid chemistry. Funny fact? The original song that started this whole thing didn't even make the EP. We went along this darker, heavier path while still maintaining all the melodies we initially created" says Leonard Cerzosie Jr.

Lilith Czar arrives with the force of an otherworldly thunder, arising in visceral rebirth from an untimely grave of surrender and sacrifice. Her voice is the sound of supernatural determination, summoned with a confessional vulnerability and unapologetic authenticity. The girl who was Juliet Simms - her dreams discouraged and dismissed, her identity confined and controlled - is no more. In her place stands Lilith Czar, a new vessel forged in unbridled willpower and unashamed desire.
Her motivation is simple: if it's truly "a man's world"? She wants to be King. Created from Filth and Dust, the debut album from Lilith Czar, is an evocative invitation into her bold new world. It's aggressive music with warm accessibility; huge hooks with driving hard rock—the new larger-than-life icon channels the fierce combativeness of Fiona Apple and Stevie Nicks' seductive witchery. Lilith Czar arms herself with sonic power, theatricality, and confidence. It's a sound where the pulse of Nine Inch Nails, Halestorm's songcraft, and the libertine spirit of David Bowie converge, all in service of a ritualistic ache for a more just and equitable world.
Lilith Czar is more than music. Her songs - like "King", "Bad Love", and "100 Little Deaths". – are anthems. She sounds both larger than life and hauntingly intimate, baring all in the ballad "Diamonds to Dust" or unleashing hell with the banshee wail of "Feed My Chaos." As much as Lilith Czar's music is perfectly suited for modern rock radio, it's simultaneously timeless. Thanks in no small part to Czar's rich voice, Created from Filth and Dust wouldn't sound out of place in any significant rock era.
"I know who I am now, completely,” the singer declares. “I’ve found my purpose, creating art to inspire others to stand up for what they believe, to fight for their dreams, and to never give up.” She summarizes the Lilith Czar origin story like this: “When you find yourself beaten down by the world, in those times you can either let it destroy you or let it create you.”
Created from filth and dust, destined to be King… Lilith Czar.See Lilith Czar at Welcome To Rockville 2022 | May 19-22 | Daytona International Speedway Tickets are still available!

April 14, 2022 – Brisbane, AUS – There’s no doubt that adored pop-punk rockers Waxflowerhave been making a huge impact in the lead up to their sophomore EP The Sound Of What Went Wrong- out Friday April 29thviaRude Records - with the band today releasing the final taste of what is to come with yearning new single“Misaligned Love”.
Featuring the enthralling vocals of indie pop / rock songstress Sydney Sprague, “Misaligned Love” is about a love connection that can never quite come to fruition, although the stars have certainly aligned for the collaboration between Waxflower and Miss Sprague, and we’re so grateful for it!
“Having the wonderful Sydney Sprague feature on this track was an incredible honour & she really helped to elevate ‘Misaligned Love’ to a place that we couldn’t, without her,” explains drummer Daniel Seymour.
“We’ve been huge fans of hers for a couple of years now, so when the opportunity arose with ‘Misaligned Love’, we reached out to her to feature and thankfully she agreed! She’s just finished touring with Jimmy Eat World & Dashboard Confessional, so no doubt she’ll be over in Australia soon & we can finally celebrate this track together, in person.”

Having played in numerous bands throughout the years, Guitarist Greg Antine came to a point in his career where he wanted to branch out and write songs that had more depth and were inspired by his personal life experiences. Having grown up less than two miles from the beaches of South Jersey, The entire vibe of Swim the Current is infused with elements of the ocean and beaches of South Jersey where Greg still resides.
Having worked with Bassist George Pond for several years in previous projects including, Disciples Of Verity, Greg expressed his concept for Swim The Current to George in hopes of collaborating with him on this new music venture. The two began to flesh out ideas in George’s home studio and realized quickly that they were on to something special, but still needed something more to see their ideas through to complete their concepts.
Greg was introduced to Joe Gareri, Guitar/Keyboards, by George during the Disciples Of Verity debut album recording sessions which Joe is also featured as a guest artist. The three of them immediately hit it off and worked extremely well together. Greg and George realized that Joe’s cinematic writing style would be a perfect match for their concepts and Joe was then brought in as a full-time member.
After two songs were completed and demo’d in George’s studio utilizing programmed drums, it was suggested by their friend Allyson Song River Jaynes, that they reach out to her friend, veteran drummer Chris Moore of Ultraphonix, Rock Of Ages, to see if he would be interested in working with the project. Upon hearing the strength of songwriting and musicianship of the band, Chris was all in and signed on as the fourth full-time member of STC and now the band was complete.
From day one Greg’s vision for STC was to feature various vocalists for each of the songs who would differentiate the sound and essence of each one, making them individually unique. Guest vocalists for the project have included: Charlie Berezansky (VEXES), Dan Caputo (Negative Sky), Chaka Malik (Orange 9mm, BURN) Jai Messina (Jai Diablo)(DragPipe, Stem), and Greg Christie (ElevenAfter, Nude Groove).
Swim The Current’s sound is influenced and reminiscent of many of their favorite artists including, Deftones, Faith No More, Sevendust, POD, and Stabbing Westward. They continue to write new music and will have additional guest vocalists on their future releases.

Klamath Falls, OR - Owls & Aliens Release Their Single "These Vices" with MVK Music Group. "These Vices" -WATCH HERE is their last single release from their forthcoming album due out this summer! Owls & Aliens bring the hot sauce to rock ‘n roll, taking inspiration from the genre’s most quintessential styles. When the music of Owls & Aliens hits listeners' earholes, layers of classic rock, heavy metal, punk rock, alternative rock, metalcore, and everything in between come crashing together, creating a beautiful amalgamation of sounds. The brotherhood formed between the five members is caused by each of their unfettered need to play, write and listen to music - despite coming from quite different musical backgrounds.
"These Vices" is a song that has always felt emotionally massive and sonically dynamic to me, with lyrics written on a much more personal level than I had ever done before, as well as being an opportunistic moment for me to share lead vocals with Dustin. Lyrically, the song centers around depression, addiction, and most of all are about looking inwards in oneself in order to gain personal reflection and direction. As being the first song, our band created to feature me as a lead vocalist, it allows for a completely different narrative and display of Owls & Aliens to share with our fans. All of us members feel it's important to always have the most honest and genuine manner possible, and we feel like this song delivers those qualities perfectly." - Travis Siebecke

March 31, 2022 – Arizona – MattstaGraham is back with some sage advice: “Not everyone is gonna love you / So love yourself / It’s all you can do.” The emo rock artist has today shared his new single “Not Everyone Is Gonna Love You (feat. Pollyanna),” premiering now on Ones To Watch. The track comes from MattstaGraham’s forthcoming album Prescribe Whatever, which is set to be released on April 29th via I Surrender Records. Pre-save / pre-order the album now athttps://orcd.co/prescribewhatever.
Speaking on the new single, he shares: “Not everyone is gonna love you. That’s not just the song title my friend, that’s just the truth. My new friend Jill from Pollyanna (who I had the pleasure of singing alongside with in this song) and I know this especially, being artists/creatives on the internet ourselves. Have you ever seen a YouTube comment section? Yikes. What on earth would possess people to hate self-expression so ferociously when it is so much easier to turn their heads?”
“But we all know that we don’t display our lives on the internet for those people,” he continues.“We do it for the ones who appreciate us, or might find some comfort in relating to us. We share ourselves to feel less alone, and in return hopefully show you that you are not alone. If this song has reached one of you in a way that matters but also instigated 100 more hate comments, it was worth it. Besides, not everyone is gonna love you.”

Forged in a furnace of experience, experimentation and existential crisis, Moodring is an entity orbiting a lone, core ambition: to create music with no ceiling.
“I grew up on the alternative bands of the 1990s,” says frontman Hunter Young; “No matter what new interests might come and go, I am forever drawn back to the classic albums of that era; they feel larger than life, not bound to a fad or trend – timeless. That’s what we aspire to with our band, to create songs that can transcend any scene.”
Between them, the members of Moodring – Young, guitarist Sean Dolich, drummer Lindy Harter and bassist Kalan Blehm – have a musical rap sheet longer than any of them care to recall. Yet, despite all this musical promiscuity, it wasn’t until May of 2019 that they finally found the vehicle that could carry forth their most authentic creative selves.
“We were searching for the sound in our heads,” says Hunter. “In modern life, we all struggle to stop, to be still; I know that there are few things that can hold my attention for very long. But when we are writing music for Moodring, we feel a different level of focus. Once we’d tapped the right vein, the sound just started to gush from us.”
Moodring’s Eureka moment came with ‘Gasoline’. A driving slab of rhythm guitars and atmospheric leads topped by moody, ethereal vocals, the song freed the dragon Hunter had been chasing. And, cage unlocked, the songs which comprise debut EP Showmetherealyou burst forth – Moodring was born.

March 25, 2022 - Los Angeles, CA – Fifth wave emo rock band Tiny Stillsis excited to share their Half Way Home Session,premiering now on Variance Magazine.Filmed at California’s Half Way Home Studios, the session features recent singles “Bleeding Out” and“Everything Is Going Great,” as well as new song “Bury The Hatchet.”
The band shares: “It was fantastic to finally capture our performance at Half Way Home! The crew there is fantastic. We can’t wait to do it again.”
Tiny Stills is made up of real life friends who actually like each other; Kailynn West, Chris Clark, Mike Diggs, and AJ Peacox. You can call them Bubble Grunge, but in their hearts they know the genre that resonates with them is truly 'Vomit Pop.'
Tiny Stills formed in 2013 and through the years has shared the stage with Bayside's Anthony Raneri, Motion City Soundtrack, Andy Jackson (Hot Rod Circuit), Reggie and the Full Effect, the Smoking Popes and Letters to Cleo. After years of honing their bittersweet emulsion of pop punk and emo with toothy lyrics, crunchy guitars and catchy melodies, one message still resonates loud and clear - even the worst days have a silver lining, at least you're not alone.

After spending the better part of a decade honing their craft, Bad Luck. presents the best version of themselves to date with Summer of Pain. The twelve-song collection serves as a bridge between childhood ambition and adult realism by exploring the underlying tension of romanticism in our modern world. It's a record about love and sadness that aspires to give listeners a much-needed reality check. Bad Luck. wants to pull you into the present and make you fully aware of your existence. "We want our being, presence, and band to be socially active," says co-founder Dominick Fox. We want people to know who we are, where we're from, and what we stand for, all of which is laid out in this album." Stories of heartache, growth, setbacks, and personal triumphs comprise much of the material found on Summer of Pain. The members of Bad Luck. — Dominick Fox, Joe Fox, Charlie Caruso, and Michael Sichel — are documenting the journey of life as it unfolds. The songs do not reflect the beginning of an adventure nor fixate on endings. It's about the messy parts in the middle. Their music is a form of meditation where the members fiercely focus on the work between them and the people they hope to become. It's a document of progress, or lack thereof, told as truthfully as possible. As Summer of Pain grapples with the difficult task of self-analysis, Bad Luck. delivers accessible punk music that pulls from blends of Northeastern cynicism with the pop-influenced optimism.

For more information, please visit: www.telltalerva.com.
On the new EP, the band shares: “The idea behind Lie Your Way Out is being transparent about our lives and emotions during such a chaotic period. We're alive during a global pandemic, witnessing the world quite literally burn and experiencing rapid political & social changes in our home country all at the same time. It's quite a lot to process and function through. The four of us have spent the better half of two years combining our reactions and emotions to these events and building them into five uniquely inspired tracks. Lie Your Way Out touches on some heavy topics that we want to make clear where we stand. We fully understand that sometimes life just sucks and no matter how hard you want to see the glass as half-full, it still looks closer to empty.”

Make no mistake; the Colorado based Fire Folllows is here on business. Founded, crafted, and led by musician, producer, and writer Chris Watt, the band delivers a melodic, yet heavy rock sound that is defined by anthemic choruses, beautiful piano interludes, and the perfect blend of rap/scream/sing vocals. In an effort to build a dynamic band that is capable of touring in 2021, Chris brought in seasoned musicians Tim Yunker (second vocals) and Emily Gould (drums). Their influence can be immediately felt on the newest “Glass Grenade” release, showcasing Tim’s gospel/soul inspired vocal stylings, and Emily’s dynamic and precise drumming techniques. Fire Follows gained tremendous industry attention with the “If It’s War You Want” EP release in 2019, and expects that trend to continue with the 5 song “Glass Grenade” release in 2020. The songs demonstrate Chris’s ever evolving writing style, and with a radio ready production quality, are sure to cut through the industry noise. The sophomore release utilizes more scream vocals than it’s predecessor, and the addition of Tim and Emily has taken the overall sound to a whole new level. The hooky choruses are sure to produce multiple hits, and will be enjoyed by fans from pop, classical, and country genres, in addition to traditional hard-rock/meal fans.
The group is already writing for the next album, and actively rehearsing in preparation of touring once the industry gets back on the rails. Want to learn more about the band and its members?

Heavy metal music, arguably more than any other genre, has a reputation for the effect it has on its listeners’ behaviors and mental health. Studies have suggested a link between listening to heavy metal and increased suicide risk or desensitization to violence, but these have often failed to take account of outside factors, such as poor family relationships, drug abuse and feelings of alienation. On the plus side, a recent study at Macquarie University in New South Wales found that music with violent themes does not make fans more violent.

Huntress is an American heavy metal band. It was founded in the underground music scene of Highland Park, California when lead vocalist Jill Janus moved to Los Angeles where she met an underground metal band called 'Professor' in 2009. Huntress was signed by Napalm Records in November 2011. A debut EP Off with Her Head was released in 2010. On December 27, 2011, they released their first single, "Eight of Swords", to promote their debut album, Spell Eater.
In October 2015, Janus posted a now-deleted note on Facebook announcing the band would finish its activities, but that she would continue to make music. Lead guitarist Blake Meahl, however, dismissed her statement as a consequence of her health and mental issues, and said the band would continue to perform.
On August 14, 2018, Jill Janus died by suicide.

Adventurers, heed the call of Icelandic newcomers POWER PALADIN as they have finally unleash their debut album With The Magic Of Windfyre Steel via Atomic Fire Records! The six-piece kick-start their journey of conquering the hearts of power metal fanatics globally today with a record that delivers nine highly infectious anthems. As if this wasn’t enough, the band has prepared a brand new animated music video for another new track in cooperation with students of well-known Melbourne, Australia based RMIT University who previously collaborated with acts such as Helloween, Children Of Bodom, Tankard, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, and more.
Comments the band on these festive happenings, “We still remember that moment after we just finished recording our first album with our no-name band on an island with a total number of inhabitants of less than 375,00, not that far from the North pole and suddenly got hit with a record deal and started to hear that people were actually anticipating the record. It was a kind of a weird situation to be in. We were also joking about how fun it would be to create an animated video for one of our songs and laughed at the idea because we only know a tiny fraction of the work that is involved in creating such a video, and it is a lot. That’s why we were even more surprised when RMIT University signalized their interest in making an animated video for our song ‘Creatures Of The Night’ as they usually choose from a ‘highly classified’ list of bands that they work with. The whole process was very enjoyable, and it was very fun to watch how the sketches slowly turned into form. We would like to thank RMIT University, Simon Norton, his students and all those who helped make this video become reality. It blew all our expectations out of the water and we think it could not have turned out better. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.”

During the 2020 pandemic, the band released multiple singles, and a concept video trilogy that includes ‘What Made You Stay’, ‘Purgatory’ and ‘Orphic’. It’s a story about loss and succumbing to the dark side of the supernatural. In April 2021, they released their first EP with their new lineup. ‘Dreaming in Analogue’ was met with high praise, and the band released two music videos to support its release with ‘Hearts in Doubt’ and ‘Hopeless’.

With nearly 40 years of experience between them, the band strives to put on the most memorable live performance possible. Set For Tomorrow is all about working towards being the best version of yourself, and that is what they aim to convey through their music.

Merging the punk-influenced aggressiveness of crossover thrash with the Celtic melodies of folk metal, the 'peasant metal’ of Pillaging Villagers takes the listener on a journey to a medieval world of pitchfork-wielding rebellion where songs of victory and sorrow alike are belted out with tankards raised high.
Whether described as "punk Ensiferum" or "thrash Dropkick Murphys," Pillaging Villagers is a raucous, high-energy debut that rampages into the town square from its opening bars, burning and looting without respite throughout its tight 39-minute runtime.
A concept album composed entirely by vocalist David Frazer, Pillaging Villagers features the session contributions of drummer Jason Hirt (Ghost Bath), guitarist Brian Koenig (Lords of the Trident) and bassist Adam Tucker (A Scanner Darkly).Pre-order:https://pillagingvillagers.bandcamp.com/album/pillaging-villagers

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 - 1h 01min - 385 - #333: Black Metal band of Robots and 1 Person, Electromancy!
Technical black metal composed by humans, played by physical robots. In 2018 Satyra was diagnosed with Lyme disease and quickly became too disabled to play instruments anymore. Instead of giving up, they spent the next two years slowly building robots to play instruments for them. The result is Electromancy, the robot metal band. Guitars and drums are played by Satyra’s own DIY robotic designs; their bandmates are manikins, cut up into LED fueled light shows.
In April 2020, Electromancy released their debut EP Robot Black Metal. Tracks premiered on Next Mosh and Sleeping Village, and gained excitement in numerous places including Metal Hammer, where they noted Electromancy as a band with “Epic Potential” describing the EP as “…a fascinating concept with compositional chops to deliver.“
Electromancy’s music is technical black metal, mixing black metal with bits of death metal, experimentalism, and technical composition. The robots aren’t a gimmick, they are core to the sound, allowing textures, patterns, and compositions that are not natural to and sometimes not possible for a human musician. Some of these compositional eccentricities include phasing multiple rhythmic melodies on a single instrument and simply extremely fast and chaotic composition. In addition to the robots, Satyra fills the bass frequencies with a drone horn made from a modified PVC pipe (the resulting instrument is similar to but not quite the same as a didgeridoo). This full, enveloping bass sound creates a grounded floor for the otherwise chaotic music. More than half of this album was painstakingly composed by foot during periods where Satyra’s illness made their hands unusable.
Electromancy’s lyrical themes largely revolve around Satyra’s struggle with a physical disability, the uncertainty of their lifespan with chronic illness, and the spiritual experiences brought on from facing human fragility & mortality so directly (often with surprisingly uplifting conclusions). These musical themes paired with the robotic instrumentation and the story of why this all came to be create a profoundly raw and unique experience.
Electromancy is currently signed with Metal Assault Records and will be releasing their debut album Technopagan on January 14th, 2022.

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 - 1h 07min - 382 - #330: UK Punk Band, The Suicide Notes!
The Suicide Notes ooze gutter-trash rock n' roll. Low-slung buzzsaw guitars and raw nicotine-soaked vocals, rock 'n' roll swagger, and whiskey on the rocks; the illegitimate sons of punk and sleaze, conceived on a bed of red wine, cigarettes, and back alley attitude.
Born under the bad sign of guttercat rock n’ roll in 2019, the band swiftly secured management and a sponsorship deal with Cloven Hoof Rum before launching two acoustic singles - which have had continuous radio play since their release in July 2019. These were soon followed up with a third well received single 'Momma Sang The Blues' and the release of their debut acoustic and electric 'Pleasures Of Despair' EPs. These gained rave reviews across the board and the band were No.1 on Only Rock Radio in Spain, and No. 16 across all stations on the Radio Indie Alliance Top 40.
The gig calendar for 2020 was all-but wiped out by the Covid 19 pandemic, but not before the band had garnered stellar reviews for their debut gig at London’s Hope & Anchor, and for performances at the Dublin Castle, Camden’s Unicorn, and Dementia Aware Fest in Wolverhampton. Securing a new management deal with Forge A.M.P and adding the extra sonic assault of second guitarist Danny Gould, the Suicide Notes were widely acknowledged as one of the Day 1 highlights of the rescheduled HRH Sleaze 2021, along with a number of festival appearances, support slots with Last Great Dreamers, Healthy Junkies ans a bunch of headline shows.
2022 sees a return to Hard Rock Hell with a headline appearance at HRH AOR, a support slot with ‘Greatest Rock n’ Roll Band In The World’ Supersuckers, and festival appearances at RoadRage, CC7 XIII Shades of Black, Mayors Fest, and a third Punk n’ Roll Rendezvous, plus a return to multiple Dementia Fest 2021 events.

Wed, 26 Jan 2022 - 59min - 379 - #327: Connecticut Based Hard Rock Band, Kings and Liars
Gritty, grimy, chugging and swerving with a sometimes-nasty little groove, heavy in a time with a definite need for that, and proving that “metal” can be both that and be “melodic”, Kings and Liars are here to show you what rock & roll should be. Not content to blend in with the mediocre or downplay their heaviness, Kings and Liars bring nothing but their rock & roll grit and swagger to each and every show. Pulling from a pure love of early metal and larger doses of 90’s grunge rock, KaL moves past the “classic rock” ear tag and drives their sound forward with the volume up and the pedal flat. After years of touring as utility members in bands (Dee Snider, JASTA, Kingdom of Sorrow and Toxic Holocaust), Charlie Bellmore, Nick Bellmore, Chris Beaudette had the desire give a nod to their influences but not re-hash them.

If you enjoy the melodic content of Paramore, and the character themes of Slipknot, then you have found the perfect matchup in GFM. The three sisters of GFM started taking music lessons around the age of five, and all three ended up falling in love with music. As they grew up, they decided that they wanted to pursue this love for music professionally and have been putting blood and sweat into creating a business and career out of GFM. The most important goal of GFM is to use their gifts to reach people for God and to always spread a positive message. The stage is their home, and they want to share their home with their fans. GFM is not your average teenage girl band… they’re sisters for crying out loud. Their musical journey began in 2016 when they worked on their first album “Identity Crisis” with producers Jake Jones and Justin Forshaw (formerly of We as Human). In 2017, the girls went on their first U.S. tour, and the demand was so strong for GFM that they went out again the following year in 2018 on another U.S. tour, finishing out the touring season with their first trip to Germany for a festival. GFM was met with thousands of loving fans and instantly became a festival favorite. In 2019, GFM released their much-anticipated EP “Oh, The Horror!” after working with Eric Varnell and Billy Decker (Uncle Kracker, Sam Hunt). GFM headlined their own summer U.S. tour, and again were called to perform in Germany at the end of the year. 2020 contained GFM’s first acoustic tour, along with the release of their first two singles off of their upcoming EP “Operation Take Over.” GFM had peaked Joey Sturgis’ (Blessthefall, Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men) interest, and he got involved in the producing process alongside Eric Varnell and Billy Decker. While on lockdown, GFM started the very first E-Tour, taking over various social media pages for over 20 dates of performing via livestream. They were able to do a short summer run as well, despite the pandemic situation, attracting several premieres and features from Alternative Press and front-page features in several magazines and newspapers across the nation.

D.C.T. is an American-Danish alternative rock band formed in 2019. The band is composed of vocalist Jāz and guitarist Mali-D.
The duo write, compose, produce and perform their own indie music, with a forte for complex, thought-provoking, funky yet (sometimes) mellow tunes.D. C. T.'s fifth single, "I Feel So Alone," was released on November 21, 2021.
"We wrote this song during the great quarantine of 2020, when it seemed as if the sky had cracked open and the whole world began to fall apart. Stuck in our small house together with all of our fears gave us a great opportunity to make music... our therapy to express the feelings of isolation, loneliness, shock and dread we had to confront, hold and eventually release. We dedicate this song to all who suffered and are still suffering... which we guess is just about everyone."

These shows performed around the Province of Quebec provided the band the opportunity to share the scene with the biggest names from the punk rock circuit such as NOFX, Bad Religion, Good Riddance, Anti-Flag, Millencolin, Pennywise, Face to Face, Pulley, Cigar, A Wilhelm Scream, Guttermouth, Strike Anywhere, The Queers, Gob, as well as with many bands from the local scene. Entering its 15th year, Still Insane has no borders and will hopefully play soon in Europe and even South America. The band is now getting ready to unleash a new EP in February 2022.

Hollywood, CA rock outfit BUDDERSIDEshare their latest single, “Too Far,” available today across all digital platforms. The track is taken from their upcoming summer 2022 record via one RPM and was recorded with producer Matt Good(Asking Alexandria, Hollywood Undead).The song gives a harrowing look into what can happen when people are pushed to the edge and things go ‘’too far.” Its music video, filmed at several iconic locations on the famed Sunset Strip including the Whisky a-Go-Goand The Rainbow Bar & Grill, premiered yesterday (12/2) via antiMusic. Directed by Vicente Cordero (Industrial Films LA), it shares a visually graphic dramatization tackling mental health issues and triggers.
“We are all so close to the edge,” says vocalist Patrick Alan Stone. “Saying something kind could save a life. It’s easy to be reckless, but what we do and say can push people too far. Hollywood is the city of dreams, where they are born and die every day. I’ve seen good people murder over infidelity. I’ve lost my sister and my two closest friends to suicide over broken hearts, others to overdose--all just trying to ease the pain of a cruel world.”
“‘Too Far’ is about the struggle I’ve gone through with depression and suicidal thoughts after being f*cked over by people around me. I took that depression and turned it into rage to create a song that strips away all of the b.s. It’s a reminder to others to not push people too far, because they can snap and hurt themselves or even others. Just an honest cry for the world to do the right thing. If someone you know is in need of help, you’re not alone. Call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline (1-800-273-8255) or 911, there is help.”

In the mid-2000s, few people were more famous than Britney Spears. But as she began to stumble in her personal life, the price of the public’s fascination was more than just a few nasty late-night jokes. Paparazzi swarmed Spears’ home and her family, turning the singer into a tabloid punching bag. But when you’re a platinum-selling pop princess, the show goes on even when you desperately need an intermission. In the midst of madness, Spears began recording an album that would become her defining statement, 2007’s Blackout. Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums revisits the album at a time when Spears’ music — and the raw treatment she received from the public and the press — is being revisited and rethought in a big way. Collaborators and friends, from the A&R rep who was one of Spears’ closest allies to the producers who crafted visceral hits like “Piece of Me,” tell the story of how Spears’ made classic songs in the eye of a hurricane. The result was an album that stood as a middle finger to Spears’ critics and established a dark, danceable sound that influenced pop for years to come.
Be sure to tune in on Amazon Music.

Louisville KY alternative rock duo Feral Vices has just released the 5 song EP 'With Offerings.' Recorded in the spring of 2021 with Nik Bruzzese, the EP provides plenty of riffs you can bang your head to and melodies you can sing along with. Created by accident after the crumbling of two different bands, the two friends behind Feral Vices, Alexander Hoagland (guitar, vocals) and Justin Cottner (drums), had a newfound vigor and drive. With the simple goal of making music that the two of them would want to listen to, Feral Vices was allowed the freedom to be whatever they wanted it to be and found its comfortable place in the conversation of other two-piece bands like Royal Blood and Death from Above 1979 while bringing in influences not found in those bands like the Jesus Lizard and Refused.

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 - 1h 06min - 358 - #308: Dana Schechter, the woman behind the band "Insect Ark"
INSECT ARK, the long-running exploratory endeavor led by Dana Schechter, recently released its Future FossilsEP, an alluring collection of solo archived outtakes, excerpts, and live improv tracks born between 2016 and 2018, via Belgium’s Consouling Sounds.
When Dana Schechter started INSECT ARK as her “true” solo project in 2012, she set out to build desolate and hallucinogenic galaxies of sound entirely on her own. Writing and playing solo offered an escape into the deepest realms of self-reflection, dredging and birthing a hitherto sonic beast that was, it turns out, utterly unhinged and totally liberating. Focusing on experimental, drone, noise, and avant-garde noise, INSECT ARK’s first years produced records that were raw, ominous, and totally unique. While defying comparison, these new sounds possessed Schechter’s distinct musical spirit, woven throughout her twenty-plus years of band/collaboration work.
After three releases (2012’s Collapsar7”, 2013’s Long Arms10”, 2015’s Portal/WellLP),INSECT ARKadded live drums to the mix, and the resulting albums — 2018’s Marrow Hymns (with drummer Ashley Spungin) and 2020’s The Vanishing(with drummer Andy Patterson) — showed that her singular vision could also expand into heavier and more crushing territory within a collaborative space. The power that live drums brought to INSECT ARK helped gather a new fan base in the heavy-music world, adding another layer to the band’s palette.
Now, after nine years of existence, INSECT ARK has come full circle to once again embrace solo work on 2021’s Future Fossils.

Do the winter months get you down more than you think they should? If so, you might have seasonal depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Seasonal depression is a mood disorder that happens every year at the same time. A rare form of seasonal depression, known as "summer depression," begins in late spring or early summer and ends in fall. In general, though, seasonal affective disorder starts in fall or winter and ends in spring or early summer.
SAD may affect 11 million people in the U.S. each year, and 25 million more may have a milder form called the winter blues.

Vancouver, BC pop-punks Chief State have just released their new single "Metaphors" via Mutant League Records.
The standalone single serves to tide fans over until their debut full-length, which is due out in 2022.
Nik Pang of Chief State says, “Metaphors is about being in a really dark place, but not knowing how to communicate that to your loved ones. Instead of saying what you mean, and exactly how you feel, it’s easy to gloss over it and be super generic and vague.”
This is the first new music from the band since the release of the band's 2020 breakthrough 'Tough Love", which resonated with media and lovers of the genre alike.

Building on the release of last year’s EP, SSM today (November 10) has released the video for “Big Game Hunting,”an energetic, action-packed sonic rollercoaster with the rawness of Rage Against The Machine and lyrically trippy imagery of Pink Floyd. Watch the video here. “Big Game Hunting” is available now and will be included on SSM’s full-length debut album in 2022.
The “Big Game Hunting”videowas premiered yesterday (November 9) by GlideMagazinewhich hailed the song as “rapturous and mysterious.” Glide also noted that CLOREShas “a music flavor worth digging into. Clores helms a new project titled Split Second Meltdown which delivers a Foo Fighters arena rock immediacy mixed with the psych rock mysterious elements of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.”
The video is a combination of performance footage (shot in black-and-white at the NYC venue East Berlin) and outdoor concept scenes filmed in color in Melville on Long Island, New York. It was directed by Scott Rosenbaum of Red Hawk Films who has many films and videos to his credit including the award-winning feature length documentary Sidemen: the Long Road To Glory(2018) The Perfect Age of Rock (2011).
