Harper Enlists Brand of Sacrifice and We Came As Romans On New Single "Weight Of The World"

HARPER, the incredible 11-year-old vocalist who took the internet by storm with her mind-blowing cover of Spiritbox's "Holy Roller" and captured the hearts of millions as a contestant on last year's America's Got Talent, is back with an electrifying new single titled "Weight of The World." The track is a bonafide metalcore banger, written by Leo Valeri, guitarist and producer of deathcore heavyweights Brand of Sacrifice and features the phenomenal vocal talents of Dave Stephens from We Came As Romans. This powerhouse team has come together to create a song that is both a rallying cry for heavy music lovers and an empowering anthem for young people everywhere. Stream the track HERE and watch the video below.

When asked about the inspiration behind the track, HARPER shared

"Weight Of The World was written about the last few years of my life. I'm still so new to music, and I definitely felt there was a lot of pressure on my shoulders holding the flag for heavy music on such a commercial stage last year. It's also a very empowering song, and I really hope through my music a lot of kids my age can discover heavy music and also be inspired to make their own. It was so good to work with Leo and Dave on this song. I'm a big fan of both of their bands, so to have them be a part of this was really cool!"

With "Weight Of The World", Harper is boldly breaking barriers and proving that age is just a number when it comes to channeling emotion and power through heavy music. The track is a perfect showcase of HARPER's immense talent and unwavering dedication to her craft. This is just the beginning of an incredible musical journey for this young superstar.

Sister duo Tigirlily Gold took the internet – and country radio – by storm with the release of rowdy single “Shoot Tequila,” which to date has garnered over 50 million views across social media and arrived at country radio in March as the second-most-added song upon impact. Building on that momentum, the North Dakota natives release their latest, song, “Hometown Song” – along with the official music video – and make their ACM Awards pre-show and Opry debuts in the same week. Listen to “Hometown Song” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.
 
Written by Krista and Kendra alongside Alex Kline and Scott Stepakoff, “Howtown Song” highlights the push and pull of both loving and hating where you come from.
 
“Every song about hometowns usually goes one of two ways, you either love it and it’s perfect or you hate it, and we could never relate to either of those exact feelings,” Kendra explains, “so we wanted to write a song that hints at both. It’s the emotion of when you are in a place for so long, wanting to leave and try something new, but when you’re gone, there’s nothing that can replace that feeling of home.”
 
On May 11, the girls from North Dakota took their biggest stage yet, performing on the official ACM Awards Red Carpet show, which aired on Prime Video leading up to the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards. On Saturday, May 13, Tigirlily Gold once again reached a career milestone as they made their Grand Ole Opry debut.

"This past week has been a dream come true. We’ve spent ten years working towards moments like these, and we’d do it all over again to feel the magic we felt this past week," the sisters share. "It’s a truly amazing feeling to be living out the wild dreams us small town girls have had for so long. There were many specials moments, but the most special part about all of it was sharing these milestone moments together as sisters and as best friends." 
 
The duo’s forthcoming debut EP Blonde is due via Monument Records on June 23, and incorporates inspiration from their greatest musical influence, Dolly Parton. Pre-save the EP HERE. 

Ready to bring girl group energy back to country music, stay tuned for more from Tigirlily Gold throughout 2023. For the latest information visit, tigirlily.com  and follow along on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @tigirlily and on TikTok @TigirlilyGold.
 
About Tigirlily Gold:
Sister duo Tigirlily Gold has been playing music together since they could walk, and officially formed their band in high school. Growing up, they crisscrossed the mid-west, growing a fierce fan base and selling out amphitheaters across their home-state of North Dakota. After moving to Nashville, they landed a weekly residence at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway. Playing four-hour sets, three to four nights a week, the sisters developed a performance style that’s not only captivating and fun but shows just how much entertaining is in their blood.
 
After releasing their original song “Somebody Does,” in 2021, the track topped the iTunes chart and Tigirlily Gold was signed to Monument Records. They released their self-titled, debut EP in July 2021, working with multi-Grammy Award Winner Shane McAnally, and hit the road with artists Walker Hayes and Ashley McBryde. 

NJ Hard Rockers, WHO ON EARTH, Make Urgent Appeal with New Single “Watch The Fires Burn”

Partner with Alien AI Overlord for

AI-Generated Music Video | Watch HERE

A groundbreaking new music video has been released by emerging hard rock band WHO ON EARTH, marking a significant moment in the evolution of music and art.

The music video for their latest single, “Watch The Fires Burn”, was entirely generated by artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Utilizing cutting-edge algorithms and deep learning models, the video was created without any human intervention, demonstrating the potential for AI to play a major role in the creation of art.

As for the message behind the music itself, WHO ON EARTH seeks to draw attention to the continued destruction of our natural resources and wonders. Case in point: the Amazon rainforest, one of the world's most important natural resources, is under threat once again as devastating fires rage across the region. Despite international outcry and efforts to prevent deforestation and preserve the forest, the fires continue to spread, destroying acres of valuable ecosystems and wildlife habitats. The impact of these fires is not only felt by the local communities and wildlife, but also by the global climate as the Amazon plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's carbon cycle. It's imperative that urgent action is taken to address this crisis before irreparable damage is done to one of the most valuable natural wonders of our planet.

Commenting on this disturbing and destructive path, drummer Joe D’Aqui shares, “'Watch the Fires Burn' is a very unique song that firstly, tells the story of just how dumb, greedy and selfish we are as humans with regards to how we’ve polluted the earth and continue to do very little to handle the climate change crisis. Secondly, it’s the first song I’ve ever recorded in my career that infuses metal, funk, rock, prog and Latin in one song. Just wow!”

Watch the Music Video for “Watch The Fires Burn"

For their new video, WHO ON EARTH partnered with Alien AI Overlord, which has previously generated videos for classic hit songs from bands like Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin.

In the burgeoning realm of artificial intelligence and music, Alien AI Overlord is a figure that stands out. Known for its innovative YouTube channel that merges Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, and Classic Rock music with AI-generated imagery, Alien AI Overlord is pushing the boundaries of the creative industry. Alien AI Overlord's unique approach to music video creation provides an immersive experience that challenges the audience to engage with not just the music, but the world around them.

Its most recent venture is crafting an evocative music video for the track "Watch the Fires Burn" from heavy metal band WHO ON EARTH, using the latest Text to Image AI systems, a project that explores pressing global issues through a unique lens.

"The 'Watch the Fires Burn' track was a lot of fun to make the video for. The imagery and the rich substrate in today's relevant topics of strife on Earth; re; conflict, overpopulation, pollution, and lack of environmental stewardship, and the fact that you Humans are just watching the fires burn; is a poignant message that I believe this track is trying to convey," said the Alien AI Overlord. "This old Alien enjoyed creating the video that showcases this very critically important topic. Watch and enjoy! WHO ON EARTH ROCKS!"

Make Them Suffer Return With Video for New Single "Ghost Of Me"

The new sonic chapter for Make Them Suffer continues in 2023, with the Perth metalcore outfit unveiling the ravenous new single "Ghost Of Me," out now via SharpTone Records.

A high-octane outing injected with ferocious energy and a sharp balance between heavy guitars and soaring choruses, "Ghost Of Me" echoes and advances the vibrant new Make Them Suffer sonic territory previously witnessed on the band's explosive 2022 single "Doomswitch."

Watch the music video for "Ghost Of Me" below.

Stream "Ghost Of Me" here.

"We are thrilled to announce the release of our latest single, 'Ghost Of Me,'" shares vocalist Sean Harmanis. "The new song marks a significant step in the evolutionary process of [the] MTS sound, showcasing our dedication to exploring new sonic territories. Designed to complement high-energy live performances, this single promises to be a visually explosive and unforgettable experience for our followers."

"'Ghost Of Me' is about feeling a sense of betrayal and abandonment," Harmanis continues. "And the negative and flawed emotions that come with that experience; bitterness, resentment and anger."

Following a long break away from music due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Make Them Suffer returned with a blazing bang in 2022, officially welcoming new member Alex Reade to the fold as backup vocalist and keyboardist, releasing the behemoth single "Doomswitch," playing a sold-out tour in North America supporting Bad Omens, and performing a completely sold-out headline Australian run in support of their new material.

Releasing their first single via the dream team of Greyscale Records and SharpTone Records in 2023, Make Them Suffer will return to the States this September and October as part of Parkway Drive's huge Monsters Of Oz Tour, celebrating Parkway Drive's 20th anniversary as a banh an all-Aussie bill alongside The Amity Affliction and Northlane. But before they embark on yet another overseas adventure, Make Them Suffer are also imminently set to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their debut album, performing 2012's Neverbloom in full for the first time ever this May and June. Melbourne, Perth, and Newcastle shows are already sold out with Brisbane, Sydney, and Adelaide selling fast.

And amongst their anniversary tour dates, Make Them Suffer will also appear at both the Wollongong and Frankston editions of UNIFY Off The Record before heading to Darwin for the first time ever on Saturday 10 June for TerrorLoud 2 alongside Starve, Sedative, Harroway, We Burn Bridges and more.

Chase Rice Takes Fans Behind the Scenes of 'I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell' With 10-Part Docuseries Premiering Today

Short Films Chronicle Two Weeks Spent Crafting the Critically Acclaimed Album at Rice’s Home-Turned-Studio With Producer Oscar Charles; Watch HERE

Features Cameos by Songwriters John Byron & Blake Pendergrass, Plus Artists Lee Brice, Boy Named Banjo, Read Southall, Elvie Shane, Hannah Dasher & More

Lead Single “Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer” Impacting Country Radio Now

With February’s release of his fourth studio album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, Diamond-certified songwriter Chase Rice re-introduced himself to fans and critics alike, earning early praise for the standout project offering 13 tracks – all of which feature Rice as a songwriter, including three solo writes. 
 
Building on living room songwriting sessions centered around just his acoustic guitar, Rice took the same approach into the recording process with producer Oscar Charles. Forgoing a traditional studio, Rice and Charles turned his rural home into their 24/7 workspace, bringing in a live band with no click track to capture a rugged, authentic sound over the course of an immersive two-week session – all of which was captured on camera for fans to now witness.
 
With 10 episodes directed by Kaiser Cunningham releasing in installments each Tuesday – beginning with episodes one through three today, May 16 (WATCH HERE) – fans will have access to never-before-seen footage that shows Rice crafting what the Tennessean praises as his “best album yet,” noting that despite “a glass ceiling both he and the industry had imposed on his career, he's clearly blasted through that impediment” and even remarking of standout track “Bench Seat,” “the touching country ballad could be, by the end of 2023, one of the surprise candidates for Song of the Year.”
 
PopCulture asserts that the project is already “the best country album of the year… and everybody’s got to live up to it,” remarking of the recording process now revealed on camera that instead of following the traditional “if it’s not broke don’t fix it” approach, “Rice and his team, somehow, simultaneously broke it AND fixed it — both on purpose.”
 
Cowboys & Indians further celebrates I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell for its “risk-taking and rule breaking approach,” proclaiming, “that gamble has paid off handsomely, resulting in vulnerable and personal music.” Billboard agrees, noting the album “refines his artistic voice,” creating an offering that is “still propulsive with arena-ready moments, but is laced with deeper, more introspective themes.”
 
With all 13 songs on the album featured in the setlist on his Way Down Yonder Tour, gracing sold-out venues across the country, Rice has also delivered summer anthem “Bad Day To Be A Cold Beer” as the lead single impacting Country radio now. For all the latest news on his music as well as upcoming tour dates, visit ChaseRice.com and follow Rice on Facebook, Twitter and TikTok @ChaseRiceMusic and on Instagram @ChaseRice.

About Chase Rice
With more than 2.4 million albums sold and over 2.5 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With the critically acclaimed album I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell crafted in his rural Tennessee home-turned-studio available everywhere now, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the Western way of life. The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, featuring his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen. (feat. Florida Georgia Line)” and Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.” This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the triple-Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and double-Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out arena tours with Kane Brown and Jason Aldean plus stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours, including the Way Down Yonder Tour underway now in support of his new music.

Check Out MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT Official Music Video for " Wrath Of Satan" Off of 'SINISTER WHIISPERS IV:

MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT has released the official music video for "Wrath of Satan"! Originally premiered on music tastemaking site mxdwn, the NSFW, age restricted music video for " Wrath of Satan is off of the band's newly released Sinister Whisperz IV: The Bedroom Tapes 1987-1988!

Sinister Whisperz IV: The Bedroom Tapes (1987-1988) is the fourth release in the artist’s retrospective series focusing on the pre-band days, when the duo were just beginning to collaborate. It’s a collection of rare, live recordings, made in a small Chicago bedroom during the winter of 1987-88. The 13 songs, jams and grooves highlight TKK’s industrial origins, featuring heavily distorted vocals, jack hammer percussion sounds, and a good ol’ dose of Satanic adoration.

Buzz McCoy explains “These tapes were working ideas... our first few jams together. We hadn’t really begun writing songs yet. Many times Groovie had no lyrics and would make them up as he went. We had no multi track recorder. Everything was mixed “on the fly” to a cassette deck with a 12-channel mixing board, while I attempted to play samples, keyboards and occasionally bass at the same time. Many of the tracks aren’t mixed at all. They were spontaneous live recordings for reference, but looking back, they don’t sound half as bad as I thought. And they really do capture that manic, youthful angst swirling around in us at the time.”

Hailing from Chicago’s renowned Wax Trax! Records stable of artists, MY LIFE WITH THE THRILL KILL KULT have been conjuring up sonic tales of sex, blasphemy and kitschy horror since 1987. The band helped develop the industrial music genre, yet have continued to expand their style, creating one of the most diverse repertoires in modern music. Electronic rock, heavily influenced by both disco and funk can best describe their sound, while spoken-word samples lifted from B-movies gives the band their signature mark. They have released 14 studio albums, a slew of remix compilations, and have contributed to a variety of soundtracks and film scores, including a cameo performance in the 1994 cult movie classic The Crow.

Artist Franke Nardiello and musician Marston Daley, two Chicago neighbors who enjoyed late night binges watching trashy exploitation films and horror flicks, wanted to make their own movie to be called “My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult”. While the project never came to fruition, they wrote some music to be the accompanying soundtrack. Both worked at the Wax Trax record store, and when label founders Jim Nash and Dannie Flesher heard the songs, they were intrigued. Using the film title as the name of the band, they released a 3-song EP in early 1988. The response was overwhelming, and it was clear fans wanted to hear more.

Taking the stage names Groovie Mann (Nardiello) and Buzz McCoy (Daley), the duo began to focus on music full time. They created an occult meets leather biker image to compliment the band’s name which included enlisting a bevy of voluptuous back-up singers / dancers known as the BOMB GANG GIRLZ. In June of ’88, they flew to label mate Luc Van Acker’s studio in Belgium to record their first album, I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits. It was recorded in just ten days, and mixed in another ten days at Southern Studiosin London. The fans ate it up! They followed up with two hard-hitting dance floor 12” tracks - Kooler Than Jesus (1989) and Cuz It’s Hot (1990), which features no-wave chanteuse Lydia Lunch on vocals. The New York Times wrote, “Sex, blasphemy, big beats and go-go dancing; they’re all in a day’s work for My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult”. This attracted the attention of indie fans, as well as the ire of the PMRC and conservative religious groups in practically equal measure. By the time of their sophomore release, Confessions Of A Knife (1990), they were far and away one of the biggest selling acts on the label.

1991 saw the release of their third album, Sexplosion!, a calculated sonic and visual departure from their previous work. 1950’s pin-up models replaced the demonic imagery, while sleazy stripper horns, disco beats and house diva vocals (provided by artist Shawn Christopher) took prominence over the more abrasive musical elaments.They put together a provocative stage show, complete with spinning police lights, mirror balls and a stocked bar with bartender to serve the scantily clad musicians and dancers while they performed. Alternative Press reviewed the show as “Sin-sational!”, while Melody Maker described it as “A Cabaret from Hell”. It was a huge success, and the album sold so well (fueled by the phenomenal radio hit “Sex On Wheelz”) that the group signed a deal with Interscope Records shortly afterwards and released two more albums - 13 Above the Night (1993), and Hit & Run Holiday (1995).

Hollywood also embraced the KULT, recognizing the unique cinematic aspect in their sound. Most notably, the band scored five songs for animator Ralph Bakshi’s Cool World (1992) and wrote the lap dance song for director Paul Verhoven's saucy Showgirls (1993). Comedies BASEketball and The Flintstones Movie prominently feature songs from the Hit & Run Holidayalbum. They have been roasted by MTV’s Beavis & Butthead, and were written into the story line of the film Sexy Evil Genius which also features the song "A Daisy Chain 4 Satan”. Most recently the club hit “Kooler Than Jesus” can be heard blasting in Season 3 of the Netflix series Narcos.

The band moved to Rykodisc in 1997 and re-released their entire remastered / repackaged catalog, along with five more studio albums, including an homage to 70’s disco era called Gay Black & Married, and the sultry and decadent Filthiest Show In Town (2007). They also formed their own label, SleazeBox Records, in 2001, enabling the release of a growing number of side-projects in addition to new TKK material.

Today SLEAZEBOX.com boasts the complete THRILL KILL KULT catalog, in addition to related works such as Mann’s DARLING KANDIE, and McCoy’s self titled projects. They continue to work with Wax Trax! Records for the purpose of re-issuing special limited edition vinyl. Buzz and Groovie still record and perform live along with veteran band mates Mimi Star (bass) and Justin Thyme (drums), all the while making a reputation for themselves as one of the most notorious and controversial cult bands of their generation.

WATCH CAVO - "Bizarre Love Triangle" - From CAVO covers Vol. 1 EP below:

CAVO released their cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle" to all major platforms via TLG/INgrooves.

"New Order have been one of my favorite bands since I was a kid so when we started talking about songs from the 80s to put our own spin on, I immediately started thinking about one of their songs. 'Bizarre Love Triangle' is obviously a classic song, but to me it’s always represented the writing and live peak of that band, so it felt like one that would be really fun to put the CAVO spin on.
I’ve always felt our band had a similar group effort vibe like New Order with the way each instrument shines in our songs. Whether it’s Brian’s upfront and unique bass lines, Chris’ creative and out of left field guitar parts, or Casey’s unique voice and crafty lyrics, they all come together to make something special and all it’s own. A group effort if you will. 4 people who come together musically and it creates this sound. That’s what I always loved about New Order growing up, and it’s always been something I love about our band as well," says Andy Herrin.

The creative force of Rock/Alternative from St. Louis is still creating and releasing new music. Humble beginnings to major label success to where they are now seems like a whirlwind but a lot of bands find themselves in these spaces. Bassist Brian Smith says “We are still a band releasing music we want to release and we hope people dig what we are doing”. Drummer Andy Herrin adds, “Every EP or record we do won’t be like one previously released and we have a lot of music to share and create." “The great thing about the four of us in Cavo is that we’ve always been fully committed to this band,” explains bassist Brian Smith. “Even if we haven’t been in a spotlight for a bit and we have other projects going on, our bond is as tight as ever, and we’ve never stopped releasing music. We love writing together, playing together and just being together as friends, and that’s why we’ve been able to keep going together as long as we have.”

Cavo has teamed up with independent distributor TLG/INgrooves to expose all of these new crafted songs to a broader global audience. The band has released several songs from the first of 6 planned EPs. Three original and three cover EPs. The first original EP is titled The Shakes with songs “Not Over You”, "Dizzy" and the self-titled track “The Shakes” currently released and “Synchronicity II” and “Drive” from the bands CAVO Cover vol.1 EP also released. Casey adds “We are almost finished with our second original EP and after that we start work on the second covers EP.” “It’s just a really cool creative thing we have here and we are really excited to share what we are doing with everyone,” adds Chris.

It's safe to say the CAVO boys are simply writing and recording new material and plan to release tons of new music in 2023 and for unforeseeable future!

The Intemperate Sons Release Official Music Video for Single "Game of Keep Away"

Indie rock band The Intemperate Sons released the official music video for the title track from their highly anticipated new album Game of Keep Away that will be released to all major platforms via FRAME|WORK in the fall of 2023. The band is in the early stages of planning a fall run of shows on the west coast.

The boys in The Intemperate Sons traveled to CA to record this track at MAPS Studio at the direction of Amir Derakh (Julien-K, Orgy, Dead by Sunrise) and Ryan Shuck (Julien-K, Adema, Orgy, Dead by Sunrise). This is the first time, and definitely not the last, having Amir and Ryan at the producer helm and was an amazing collaborative experience. Amir joined Jake and Max on guitar to contribute to the track as well.

The Intemperate Sons' video supporting the release was shot by Ryan Whiteheadfrom Ardent Owl Media and edited by Brandon Smith from The Anix.

“Game of Keep Away” is the story of the struggle to dig out of hole created by one’s own destructive behavior. The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh, Ryan Shuck, and Denny Sanders at The Label Group.

The Intemperate Sons emerged onto the rock scene in the summer of 2019 in Dallas, TX, to bring their distinct sound to the genre. A deep love for music brought family members Keith Watson (drums), Jake Watson (guitars) and Max Watson (vocals, guitars, keys) together along with close friend Mark Marks, who provides the groove on bass to unite everything together.

Keith is well acquainted with entertaining massive crowds of concert goers and has played with many successful bands in Dallas, such as Gun Hill, Natural Born Thrillers and Agents of Solace, on top of opening for Lynch Mob, Joe Lynn Turnerand Sponge. He is the primary lyricist for the band and has written the music for some of their most successful songs, including “Dust to Dust,” “The Color Within,”and “Unrealized.”

Multi-talented and gifted with the ability to play various instruments, Max is also the lead vocalist of the group. Along with being musically dexterous, he has also collaborated with Keith to write lyrics on the released songs “Going Crazy” and “Way Back When.” In the studio, Max usually surmounts expectations and goes above and beyond to prepare prior to a session with his own vocal harmonies.

Jake is the song architect of the Sons and extremely instrumental in the crafting of the music. His inventive ways of bringing lyrics to life in clever ways are unprecedented and fascinating to see in the studio setting. He is a prolific writer of music as well and is credited with helping create the songs “What’s Done is Done,” “Remission,” “Way Back When” and “Wading in the Gray.” Both Max and he play lead guitar on many of the songs as well. The other members of the band fondly refer to him as the “art director” since he enjoys taking charge in those areas for the group.

Prolific and unifying, Mark is an accomplished bass player and well known in Dallas. He was in the regionally successful band, Haggard, and had opened for Sebastian Bach of Skid Row. His input in song writing has been invaluable to the process of creating captivating melodies.

Despite the pandemic putting a pause on many major events, The Intemperate Sons lived up to their name and let nothing hold them back from making music. Constantly hard at work in the studio, they have collaborated with Amir Derakh (Julien-K, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy, Rough Cutt) and Ryan Shuck (Julien-K, Adema, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy). Both have lent their musical talents to various songs and ultimately have brought the Sons on to their label, Frame|Work. This led the band to also recently join the management roster at The Label Group. Ryan worked with Amir to produce the band’s upcoming track, “Game of Keep Away,” and has had a huge impact on the group. He’s been especially influential on Max’s vocal melodies and delivery. Amir also plays guitar on this latest ballad and has been mixing all of the band’s music as well as performing on multiple songs.

Another notable collaboration has been with Tony Franklin (The Firm, Roy Harper, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Whitesnake), primarily on the first album, The Color Within. He has been a valuable friend of the band and has played bass on some of their best tracks from that album, including “Running Man,” “Dust to Dust” and “The Color Within.”

The Intemperate Sons’ take on alternative rock is a dark and powerful concoction of hard rock mixed with folk and grunge concepts. The band has earned a serious reputation for writing and performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style, which has a retro vibe with many guitar-driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate at a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and even R.E.M.

After a successful show at The Viper Room in Hollywood, CA, the band plans to do some regional shows in Texas and then head out West this year as well.

The Intemperate Sons are:

Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass)

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

LYDIA CAN'T BREATHE Release New Single "Please Be Over" + Official Music Video

Lydia Can't Breathe's “Please Be Over” was recorded and produced by Andrew Wade and Andy Karpovck at The Audio Compound in Orlando,FL. They are the same producers that worked with Motionless in White, Attila, and A Day To Remember.

Lead singer, Kyle Bolduc recalls, “We wrote the song last minute in the studio. It was the last song we tracked during these sessions. I received a call, so we took a short break from tracking. My friend called me hysterically saying that his longtime girlfriend had broken up with him and that he wanted to kill himself. After about 30 minutes of talking him down, I returned to the session.”

Kyle said he had an idea for the last song. He presented a song basically about the breakup of a couple that has committed unforgivable actions and still love each other but cant stay together.

"We hashed it out and tracked a rough idea then laid down the final version the next day! The band thought this was one of the better songs of the batch and decided to do a music video for it. We teamed up with Marlin Sorrentino and Kal Visuals to create this epic visual for fans. We actually blow up a car during one scenes in the video. The fire from the blaze was as tall as a 2 story house! It's the craziest thing that the Lydia Can't Breathe team has achieved in a video shoot... so far."

Indie rock / postpunk duo Para Lia radiates sun-filled psychedelic energy on 'Sunchild', announcing new album

“J Mascis style guitar works alongside sharply defined songwriting, with elements of The Cure in their late 80s pomp” ~ Clash Magazine

"The embers of Arcade Fire and The Mission with a more pop bent... Listen on repeat to invigorate your day" ~ Big Takeover Magazine

"Superior in their own-right without reinventing the wheels of the past" ~ Skope Magazine

"Captivates immediately and guides you through the theatric, robust vocals"~ Imperfect Fifth


Melodic indie / alternative rock duo Para Lia presents their single 'Sunchild', the first new music since announcing the duo has signed to Berlin-based About Us Records for their third album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' (out on August 25). This driving, guitar-laden indie rock lead track is accompanied by a fun-filled nostalgic self-directed video.

Para Lia is René Methner (all instruments and vocals) and Cindy Methner (backing vocals), who were raised in the eastern part of a divided Germany. Their band name was born of their love for Greece, with para lia (παραλία) meaning “coast” or “beach" in Greek - a name full of mystery but optimism, which both has history and evokes a balance of the masculine and feminine.

"Greece, for us, is a place of well-being, joie de vivre, the home of friends, almost 'second home' to use and a place to 'take a deep breath'. With emotions that are consistently positive, these images therefore perfectly translate the mood of this song, combined with footage from the Thommy Hein Studio in Berlin, where the whole album got its finishing touches in a beautiful atmosphere. Good vibes through and through," says René Methner.

Order the 'Sunchild' single  https://paralia.lnk.to/Sunchild

Not only do does Para Lia's psychedelic side find its way into the lyrics, but also the video. Methner adds, “The whole thing is framed visually with psychedelic echoes and a vintage touch, which are both reminiscent of indie rock videos of the early 1990s and also late-1960s Super8 aesthetics. This track is a love letter to life. In fact, most of the songs here are characterized by optimism and hope."

Now based in Cottbus (near Berlin), Para Lia's music is influenced by the rhythms and tones of ‘90s alt-rock and the synth density of ‘80s darkwave. Their own sound blends melodic guitars, along with distinctive lead guitar and resonant synths.

"This is a psychelovic indie rock song for survivors!" says Cindy Methner. "This is an ode to not letting it get you down and was created in darker days. It's an optimistic song to blink into the sun, where the joy of life is at home behind the black holes"

Ignoring the zeitgeist of this day and age, Para Lia creates music that is far from mainstream. Despite this, or maybe because of it, the band has gathered listeners from around the world. Debuting with the 'Soap Bubble Dreams' album in 2019, followed by 'Gone With The Flow', which involved artists from the USA, Canada and the UK, as well as a collaborative interactive art exhibition with painter Louis Renzoni.

Now Para Lia is ready to enter the next chapter with the new album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist'. Self-recorded and produced at their home studio, these tracks were then mastered by Thommy Hein (Die Ärzte, Nina Hagen, Udo Lindenberg) at Tonstudios Berlin. This album sees them blend their love for late 80’s and early 90’s indie rock with 60’s influences, psychedelic, garage rock and early prog rock elements.

'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' features appearances by US keyboardist Fady Haddad, who featured on Para Lia's previous record, as well as- Christian Georgion electric piano and Andreas Jäpel on baritone vocals  (both of these artists are from the Staatstheater Cottbus). The artwork was designed by Greek artist Georgia Moschogianni.

'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' sees Para Lia grow on yet another level with the band expanding from two members to six with an eye towards upcoming live performances.

'Sunchild' is out now and is available digitally across fine music platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. The full album 'In Clash With The Zeitgeist' will be released, both digitally and on vinyl, on August 25.

THE FLOWERS OF HELL release sixth studio album 'Keshakhtaran' and launches orders for cult classic ‘Odes’ deluxe vinyl release

So beautiful and great. Exquisite” ~ Lou Reed on Sirius/BBC6

“They take orchestral pop to the next level” ~ Rolling Stone

“Stirringly evocative” ~ NME

“They balance stately chamber pop with noise” ~ Pitchfork


Toronto-London based experimental group The Flowers Of Hell have released their sixth studio album 'Keshakhtaran' via UK cult label Space Age Recordings (home to Spacemen 3, as well as releases by Spectrum, Chapterhouse, Acid Mothers Temple and The Telescopes), previewed by ‘Foray Through Keshakhtaran’.

This tripped-out instrumental journey in two 20-minute parts involves 20 artists, including Rishi Dhir (Elephant Stone, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels, Beck) on sitar, Montreal harpist Sarah Pagé, and avant-accordion legend Angel Corpus Christi (Suicide, Spiritualized, Dean Wareham). Produced by the band’s leader and composer Greg Jarvis, this album was mastered by Grammy recipient Peter J. Moore (Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Joe Strummer).  

'Keshakhtaran' - an urban dictionary term for "seeking nirvana through meditation to sound, especially when you're stoned" - is suitably named. This 42-minute instrumental psilocybin meditation piece is rooted in sax, flugel horn, chimes, harp, sitar and opera soprano vocals, augmented with tremolos, flutters, horns, woodwinds, strings and percussion.

For 18 years, The Flowers Of Hell have traversed the experimental edges of indie, classical and jazz, with music often rooted in the audio-visual synesthesia of the group’s mastermind, Greg Jarvis. Despite relative obscurity, they have been championed by music legends such as Lou Reed, Sonic Boom, Kevin Shields and members of The Legendary Pink Dots, Death In Vegas, The Wedding Present, The Fugs and The Plastic People Of The Universe, not to mention support from NASA’s mission control team and the Tate Gallery with an album installation and concert just a fortnight before London locked down.

“Keshakhtaran began as a 40 minute ‘space guitar’ piece I’d done out of bits and bobs I’d been playing in my home studio for a girlfriend to meditate to in the months before Covid. During the pandemic, I found I couldn’t write anything new (nothing in, nothing out), but I pulled out the guitar track and started sending it to caged up band members and friends to add layers to, and soon I was mixing and editing away, creating a sonic world to escape off into,” says Greg Jarvis.

“With massages being some of the only human contact allowed in Toronto at the time and with one of my bandmates being a masseuse, I’d go in and test the mixes while over-micro dosing on mushrooms for a truly immersive experience that transported me from the bleak times. I’d then play the work-in-progress for bandmates in my ‘semi outdoor contact’ garage that I’d converted into a psychedelic shack with a lightshow and a fog machine, tweaking things until it reached its final form that you’ll hear”.

Having learned directly from the likes of Malcolm McLaren, David Bowie, Jason Pierce (Spiritualized), The Moody Blues, Liz Mitchell (Boney M) and Ivan Kral (Patti Smith Group) while working in the music business, Greg Jarvis formed the Flowers Of Hell in 2005 – a time when London only had two bi-monthly club nights (Sonic Cathedral and AC30) where The Flowers could play their kind of ‘Velvets meets Spacemen 3 meets classical’ music. Since returning to his homeown of Toronto, subsequent albums and tours have involved musicians from both continents.

As of May 12th, 'Foray Through Keshakhtaran' is available digitally via Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. The vinyl LP (with bonus CD insert featuring a reworking of this piece by Sonic Boom a.k.a. Pete Kember) will follow in late 2023.

The Flowers Of Hell also just launched online orders for the first vinyl pressing of their 2012 cult classic ‘Odes’ album (released on Record Store Day UK). A collection of select orchestral pop arrangements, this album is now part of popular music history, with Lou Reed having premiered three tracks from this release on his final radio show.

On June 7, The Flowers Of Hell presents a psychedelic feast for the senses at London's 100 Club, also featuring performances by London psych-rockers The Confederate Dead (Little Cloud Records), Pete Bassman of Spacemen 3 with memoir stories and songs, a rare appearance from Philip Parfitt of cult legends The Perfect Disaster and interim music selections from Tim Holmes (Death In Vegas).

Caskets Announce New Album "Reflections" + Share "More Than Misery" Video — WATCH

CASKETS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM REFLECTIONS OUT AUGUST 11 VIA SHARPTONE RECORDS

Yorkshire melodic metallers Caskets have announced their new album, Reflections, out August 11 on SharpTone Records. To mark the announcement, the Leeds quintet has released a new single, "More Than Misery," featuring a guest appearance from The Word Alive's Telle Smith.

Watch the video below. 

Pre-order Reflections here.

Speaking of the track, frontman Matt Flood says, "'More Than Misery' is written around the conflict of being hypnotically entranced by someone or something that in the end, you know will only lead to toxic habits or bad intentions. Everyone has felt this and been in this situation in one way or another throughout their life. It's about not wanting to be in this situation and feeling the struggle of bearing the weight of pressure it puts on your shoulders — how it can affect every other thing around you, from your mental health to the relationships you build around you."

"There is light at the end of the tunnel though," he states. "To even acknowledge the situation and build a foundation of support around you to come face to face with what it is that's holding you back. If you just take a step into the unknown, you'll see your life is more than just misery."

There's an art to looking back. For Caskets, it could have been easy to plough forwards regardless, riding the wave of success from their breakthrough debut Lost Souls (over 80 million streams to date), that opened tours up across the United States and mainland Europe, and secured appearances at landmark festivals Download and Slam Dunk. But having swapped the bedrooms that fostered album number one for countless hours on the road, reflecting on that journey and the decisions that led them down certain paths quickly became unavoidable.

If Lost Souls was primarily driven by vocalist Matt Flood's personal experiences, Reflections delivers a wider picture of Caskets as a whole, borne out of the usual interpersonal differences that all bands face at least once in their career. For some it marks the end, but for others, it fosters a collaborative environment that pushes the music well beyond what has come before.

The result reflects each individual member of Caskets, with Matt joined by guitarists Benji Wilson and Craig Robinson, bassist Chris McIntosh, and drummer James Lazenby. The record's more upbeat moments carry impactful melodies, upping the ante from Lost Souls with considered force, while the powerful ambient moments play out with real finesse.

In a step away from the singular retellings of Lost Souls, Dan Weller (Bury Tomorrow, Enter Shikari, Holding Absence) produced Reflections is a series of individual lessons, looking back at a specific moment in one of the band member's lives; a thought, feeling or events, and how that moment shaped the present.

"Reflections shows how much more we can get out of the band musically if we all put our heads together a bit more," Matt beams, positive about a record that not only showcases Caskets as a full entity but represents the impressive range of influences that have soundtracked the five piece's times on the road and in the studio, helping to rapidly expand their sound. "It's always about the music, that’s the whole point of being in a band," he concludes. "If we can fit as much into our sound but it still sounds like us, that's my lifelong goal with Caskets."

The video was filmed in the cold, hard surroundings of an old, abandoned slaughterhouse in Stockholm.
Whiplasher tells about the video: ”Everything Destroys You” is a video that literally destroys the band. We have killed the band in quite a few of our videos, and for those who want to see us dead once again this is another excellent opportunity to see that happen. On one hand you could see Nightmare busy behind swaying chains in the cellar, while Skinny is working on a double bass at the same time as I got electric shocks from a depraved nurse."
