Giles Lavery, A&R BraveWords Records: “I met Rob Robbins back in 2019, when I reached out to him to see if he would be interested in working on releasing some of his work with the late, great Rhett Forrester, much of which had gone unreleased. During this project and process, we came up with an idea to revisit two classic Rhett tracks. I put Rob in touch with a singer named David Reece (Bangalore Choir), who had that Rhett vibe (in more ways than one). We picked Rhett's solo tune 'Assume The Position"' and the Riot classic 'Restless Breed'! These tunes sat around for a while as Covid got in the way, but now is the perfect time to unleash them! So, get comfortable and ASSUME THE POSITION!”

David Reece & Rob Robbins - “Assume The Position” below:

In 2024, BraveWords Records released Rhett Forrester & Rob Robbins - The Complete Dr. Dirty Sessions, a collection of songs celebrating a little known chapter in the musical journey of much missed rock vocalist, the one and only... the late Rhett Forrester during his time spent living in Canada in the early '90s. Originally billed under the band-name Dr. Dirty from 1992-1993, the songs were written by Scot Gaines and Rob Robbins before Forrester joined to complete the then new band.

Produced by Robbins, this album features Forrester's distinct vocals accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians including Rob Robbins on guitar, keys, and vocals, Rod Albon on bass, Brent Gattoni on drums and Matt Whale contributing keys on the track "Hold On". Rhett Forrester, known for his powerful voice and stage presence, takes center stage on this album.

IGGY POP joins JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN for a Powerful Reimagining of “Save Me”

Continuing the celebration of her new album 'Real Life Evolution', released via UK label Reveal Records, NYC singer-songwriter Joan As Police Woman has teamed up with the illustrious Iggy Pop on 'Save Me'. The track is one of ten fresh interpretations of songs from Joan’s 2006 debut 'Real Life' album, reimagined two decades after its original release with a new cast of collaborators and released exactly 20 years from her debut.

Joan Wasser, known as Joan As Police Woman since 2004, is a critically acclaimed musician and producer, and a sought-after collaborator, dubbed “the coolest woman in pop” (The Times) and “one of the 21st century’s best musicians” (The Economist). As a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, her music defies easy categorization, crafting her own sound that blends various genres.

"Some transformations are subtle. Others are seismic. All of them were made with an entirely new cast of collaborators. Among them are two extraordinary vocalists. The inimitable Iggy Pop — whose band I’ve had the privilege of touring with, playing keys and singing — recorded a stunning version of 'Save Me' while we were on the road in New Zealand. We had to work around the birds outside, who apparently had strong opinions about the session. Then there’s Krystle Warren, a true original and one of my favorite singers alive. Her voice is so deeply soulful that 'I Defy' feels like it thoroughly enjoyed easily slipping into its brand new groove," says Joan.

Music has a way of taking on a life of its own, evolving and revealing new meaning as the years pass. Through countless performances, the new renditions on this extraordinary album are brought to life by the brilliance of the players who helped define their sound. This remarkable opportunity to hear Joan return to the music that helped define her artistic journey brings new perspective, texture, and energy to songs that have already stood the test of time.

"My friend’s reaction when I told them who sang this? “Iggy Fucking Pop”?? And yes, I am lucky enough to have been able to record him in a professional studio in New Zealand (a hotel room next to the pool on a day off). Thank goodness for portable recording rigs," explains Joan Wasser. 

"To me, Iggy is one of the great romantics. A few years ago, when I joined his band on Wurlitzer organ and vocals, I began to weep while in rehearsal for The Passenger. His voice is simply one of the greatest of all time. It holds a commanding masculinity alongside a profound connection to the fully range of human experience. This song carries that same quality I’ve always heard in him: a raw, aching desperation that few singers can touch. I am forever grateful to the “Godfather of Punk”.

The Real Life Anniversary Sessions video for 'Save' Me' was filmed at The Owl Music Parlor in Brooklyn by Ehud Lazin, and recorded by Adam Sachs as Joan is accompanied by Jeremy Gustin on drums and Will Graefe on guitar and vocals, the 'Real Life Anniversary Sessions)' video. Earlier, Joan shared similar intimate versions of  'Feed The Light', 'Eternal Flame', 'Flushed Chest', 'The Ride','Anyone', the title track 'Real Life', 'I Defy', and the most recent offering in this series - 'Christobel'.

"Will Graefe brings his emotionally masterful guitar work and Jeremy Gustin his remarkable rhythmic sensibility to several tracks. Parker Kindred’s inventive drum creations were the spark behind others. Thomas Bartlett unlocked a new dimension of the title track — honoring its original feeling while casting it in a warmer, amber light — and added Rhodes bass throughout," says Joan.

"This album gave me the chance to reunite, decades on, with upright bassist Tony Scherr, guitarist Oren Bloedow, and funk bassist Danny Blume — musicians whose artistry has only deepened with time."

Joan As Police Woman has released ten albums of original material, two cover albums, and an anthology. She has recorded and performed with hundreds of artists, including Afrobeat legend Tony Allen, Lou Reed, Anohni & The Johnsons, Meshell Ndegeocello, Rufus Wainwright, John Cale, David Byrne, Dave Okumu, Chris Dowd, Lau, Scissor Sisters, Sparklehorse, Beck, Laurie Anderson, Lloyd Cole, Afel Bocoum, Dave Gahan, Tanya Donelly, Damon Albarn and Gorillaz.

'Real Life Evolution' is out everywhere digitally and on CD and Limited Edition exclusive red marble vinyl on Bandcamp.  Tickets for Joan's 'Real Life 20th Anniversary Tour' -- in November 2026 and February 2027 -- can be ordered at www.joanaspolicewoman.com/tour.

IAN MUNSICK CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING OF IAN MUNSICK'S COWBOY BAR & WESTERN GRILL IN DEADWOOD, S.D.

On the heels of releasing his fourth studio album, The Mountain Goat, on Aug. 21, Wyoming native Ian Munsick capped his Western Road to The Mountain Goat Tour last Friday (Sep. 18) in Deadwood, S.D. with the grand opening of Ian Munsick’s Cowboy Bar & Western Grill. 
 
With a line spanning two blocks to get into the bar on Friday and Saturday morning, fans were met with sponsor activations by Schaefer Outfitter, Crown Royal and Coors, while Drew Kirby with Townsquare held a live radio broadcast. 
 
Munsick’s friends and family welcomed the crowd and helped break in the outdoor performance stage on Friday with a daylong celebration featuring appearances by Philip Bowen, Ross Cooper, Ashland Craft, Kylie Frey, Jenna LaMaster, The Munsick Boys, Tyler Nance, Faren Rachels, Kellen Smith, Kasey Tyndall and The Mountain Goat producers Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson.
 
During Robinson and Spillman’s set, Munsick made a surprise appearance to thank his friends and fans alike for showing up. Addressing his co-producers, Munsick remarked, “These guys have spent thousands of hours working on my music, and it’s an honor to have them as well as all of the other singer/songwriters that flew in from all over the country to be here. Thank you guys for being here, and welcome to Ian Munsick’s Cowboy Bar & Western Grill!”
 
To his fans, he added, “Most importantly, thank you guys for being here. I know a lot of you drove hours and hours, or had to hop on airplanes, to be here. So thank you.”
 
Munsick then offered fans a unique opportunity to ask him questions about his music, the bar, and more before playing an acoustic performance of “Long Live Cowgirls.” 
 
When asked about his favorite part of opening the bar, Munsick gave his wife Caroline the credit, sharing, “She was here from the very beginning. And the Keatings too: Arden, Alec, Gerard. They really allowed us to come in here and just do our thing. They have been a huge help, but Caroline… She told me the first time that we played the Red Dirt Fest at the Deadwood Mountain Grand five years ago, ‘We’re going to have our own bar here someday.’ And sure as shit, five years later here we are. Being able to watch my wife accomplish such an amazing feat in not a lot of time is pretty incredible.”
 
Ian and Caroline Munsick partnered with The Landmark Hotel & Casino to design the over 2,600 square foot space within the hotel. Personal touches throughout the bar include displays of Caroline and Ian’s first ACM Awards red carpet outfits designed by Manuel Cuevas, western inspired murals by Oglala Lakota and Mohawk Western Artist Isaiah Stewart, Munsick’s first Gold Record for Long Live Cowgirls with Cody Johnson and more. 
 
Munsick also recruited Chef Aaron Richards to curate the bar’s menu, hand picking each item and tailoring it to appeal to kids and adults alike. Among some of his Western-inspired picks are the Wild Bill Sampler, Mountain West Spring Rolls, Western Fried Steak, Ian’s Smash Burger and more. Munsick also picked the specialty cocktails on the menu which include the Medicine Man, Ian’s Filthy Martini and Doc Mule. 
 
On Friday evening, the bar closed from 6:30-10:00 p.m. for Munsick’s Deadwood Jam performance. Despite the show being cut short due to weather, Munsick broke the Deadwood Jam attendance record as the crowd of over 6,000 fans spilled out onto Main Street. The night ended with a sold out VIP After Party with a performance by Ryan Charles and surprise appearance by Munsick for “Stay Twangin’” and “Cowboy Killer.”
 
The bar’s grand opening is the latest in a month-long celebration of The Mountain Goat, which included the launch of his clothing line with Schaefer Outfitter; a pop up in Laramie, Wyo.; and his second headlining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in August. The Mountain Goat marks Munsick’s first independent release via WEST TO THE REST RECORDS / Triple Tigers Records, and received critical praise upon its release with Sports Illustratedobserving “Munsick pushes deeper into the raw, organic sound of the Rocky Mountains he grew up in;” while The Tennessean proclaimed “There’s a good reason you can’t spell ‘Munsick’ without music.”
 
Ian Munsick’s Cowboy Bar & Western Grill grand opening continued all weekend with drink specials and performances by his band, Rocky Mountain Fever. For future updates, follow @IanMunsickCowboyBar on Instagram.

Alternative Metal Legends PRONG Unleash Explosive New Single "Fear The Sun" + Video

New York's alternative metal legends PRONG are back — and with their triumphant Napalm Records debut. Their pummeling new single "Fear The Sun" honors their home city, inciting classic pit violence of the CBGB variety. Legendary frontman Tommy Victor's lyrics are forked and biting. After countless world tours and becoming mainstays at seminal festivals like Wacken and Brutal Assault, PRONG's legacy is undeniable, carrying the banner for the genre. 
 
About "Fear The Sun," Tommy Victor states:
"I think we went back into time on this song. It's a modernized version of the groove metal basics PRONG laid a foundation for back with Beg To Differ. Lyrically, 'Fear The Sun' reflects upon living with no seasonal changes, metaphorically."

Check out the official static video for "Fear the Sun" Below;

Order Your Copy of Prong HERE.

As the band's mission statement, Prong incorporates the well of styles their legacy is built on. Blistering thrash sections, open into lush choruses on opening anthem "The Banner," before somehow pushing the intensity even further on "New Commission." "The Uprising" reintroduces the band's industrial edge, weaponizing textured synths over a pulsating two-step, before "Uncertain Truth" flexes its melodic chops, offering a transcendently sweet hook. Immediately the band dropkicks listeners in the chest with the pummeling "Fear The Sun" inciting classic New York Hardcore pit violence. Iconic vocalist and guitarist Tommy Victor's chops come out in full swing on "Proportionate Response," a smoldering incitement of retaliatory justice, before the blistering kicks of "Simulated Drowning" propel us forward. Album closer "Our Continuance" brings things to a cataclysmic close with its menacingly methodical pulse and pummelingly discordant breakdowns, tied together with a lush chorus amplified with swelling synth textures.

Mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap, the album sounds crisp and punchy, Victor's biting lyrics confrontational and infiltrating, driving listeners to contemplate complex matters like the validity of truth, self-inhibitors, and altruism. Dynamically bold, ideologically driven, and melodically infectious, Prong honors their legacy, reminding us why the band has had such a successful longevity.

FOGHAT RELEASE THE VIDEO FOR “IT HURTS ME TOO,” THE SECOND SINGLE FROM ‘LIVE & LOUD ACROSS THE U.S.A.’ SET FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 30

FOGHAT lead singer/guitarist Scott Holt takes center stage on the band’s soul-stirring take on the Elmore James blues classic, “It Hurts Me Too,” the second single released today from the upcoming triple-vinyl LIVE & LOUD ACROSS THE U.S.A. It arrives ahead of the album’s October 30 release on Foghat Records, distributed by Select-O-Hits, a division of Sun Records.

The video can be viewed on the band’s official YouTube page HERE and is available on all digital outlets. The album can be pre-ordered HERE, which will be sold as two gold vinyl discs, along with a bonus third red vinyl disc (along with a double CD) that will include a reissue of the fan favorite Earl & the Agitators (aka FOGHAT) record, SHAKEN & STIRRED(produced/mixed/mastered by guitarist Bryan Bassett), which has never been available on vinyl until now.

Recorded live in 2024, “It Hurts Me Too” finds FOGHAT returning to the deep blues foundation upon which the band was built from their days with Savoy Brown. Written by Hudson Whittaker, it was first recorded by Tampa Red in 1940 and later immortalized by the great Elmore James. The song has traveled through generations of blues musicians, and in FOGHAT’s hands it becomes something immediate, raw, and deeply personal. Scott doesn’t simply sing the blues, he reaches inside the song and makes every word, note and silence count. 

“This is the kind of song Scott was born to sing,” says FOGHAT founding drummer Roger Earl. “He doesn’t just play the blues; he understands where it comes from and what it supposed to feel like. Every night we play this song he takes us somewhere different. I’m sitting behind him listening, and I still get chills.”

It’s the follow-up to the album’s first single, “My Babe,” which was released August 14 on all digital outlets HERE. The video can be viewed on the band’s official YouTube page HERE.

Foghat has never been a museum piece. It’s a living, working band.

Founding drummer Roger Earl remains at its heart, and along with Scott is joined by longtime lead/slide guitarist Bryan Bassett, who has been not only a band member, but also the band’s producer and engineer since 1999(who had also played with “Lonesome” Dave Peverett for many years prior to that), along with bassist/vocalist Rodney O’Quinn, who joined in 2015 after being hand-picked by longtime bassist Craig MacGregor who sadly passed in 2018.

“A band is more than a list of names from one moment in time,” says Earl. “It’s the music, the history, the people who have carried it forward and the connection we still have with the fans every night. Bryan, Scott, and Rodney are not pretending to be anyone else. They have each brought their own history, talent, and heart to Foghat, and this band is playing with as much passion as we EVER have.”

Same name, different musicians, same spirit. One continuing story. It’s about the music! It’s not a disconnected side story. It is part of the same musical journey: longtime friends discovering powerful chemistry, writing, and recording together and ultimately becoming the FOGHAT heard today.

Epic Heavy Metal Newcomers UNCHAINED VENGEANCE Announce Debut Album, Unleash First Single

From the battle-scarred strongholds of Portland, OR rises a new force in epic heavy metal: UNCHAINED VENGEANCE. The newcomers are pleased to now make their debut with 'Unbound and Unforgiving,' an anthemic offering with epic soundscapes that conjure the feeling of valiantly riding into battle on horseback with sword and mace in hand. To celebrate this forthcoming record, the band is now unleashing the very first single, "The Whisper of Sorrowsbane," along with a lyric video. The clip can be found below .

'Unbound and Unforgiving' is due on October 30, 2026 via Nameless Graves Records. It can be pre-ordered now HERE.

From the battle-scarred strongholds of Portland, Oregon rises a new force in Epic Heavy Metal: UNCHAINED VENGEANCE.

Forged by the union of powerhouse vocalist Nick Courtney (former member of Vicious Rumors and the acclaimed Iron Maiden tribute band Fear of the Dark) and multi-instrumentalist Nick Wusz (of Dolven and Travellers Rest), UNCHAINED VENGEANCE arrives with their debut full-length assault, Unbound and Unforgiving.

This is a journey into an age long forgotten—an time where honor outweighs gold, where warriors carve their legends in steel, and where the sword triumphs over sorcery. Across ten triumphant tracks, UNCHAINED VENGEANCE unleashes a relentless barrage of thunderous riffs, soaring vocals, galloping rhythms, and heroic melodies destined to echo across the battlefield.

From the bond between warrior and blade in "The Whisper of Sorrowsbane," to the condemnation of false champions in "False Knight," and the bittersweet return to a fallen homeland in "Only Ruins Remain," Unbound and Unforgiving weaves tales of courage, loss, revenge, and redemption. Majestic acoustic passages and contemplative interludes, masterfully performed by dungeon synth maestro Fen Walker, provide moments of reflection before the next charge into glory.

Adorned with breathtaking cover art by Silvana Massa and a battle-ready logo crafted by Brendan Elliot, this debut stands as a banner for all who still believe in the warrior spirit.

Raise your steel. Break your chains. March into the fire.

The age of UNCHAINED VENGEANCE has begun.

Carved in blood…Forged in fire…Unbound and Unforgiving

Phoenix Groovers/ Thrashers INCITE Release Lyric Video For Abrasive Track "Chucked Off"

INCITE present a new lyric video offering for their ferocious track, "Chucked Off." A raging sonic assault, the song calls out a lack of empathy and false claims of victimhood from individuals who refuse to take accountability for their actions. "Chucked Off" is taken from their critically acclaimed 2025 album Savage New Times, released via Reigning Phoenix Music. INCITE are currently on tour around the US supporting SOULFLY and NAILBOMB.

Richie Cavalera comments on the new release:

"'Chucked Off' is about the collective of our current society. Everyone has such a short temper with this victim mentality and it sucks. People expect the best, their way, and instantly or else they’re not satisfied. People need to take more accountability for themselves and how their lives have turned out and not blame it on everyone else. The meaning along with the riffs and awesome drum work Lennon does on this song make it one of my favorites off the new album. Metalheads come catch it live every night on our current tour."

Void Sector Zero Sign to Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome Void Sector Zero.

After orbiting each other for years, with the gravitational pull of the sun, Void Sector Zero brings together three of extreme metal’s brightest burning stars in guitarist Christian Muenzner (Necrophagist, ex-Obscura, ex-Alkaloid), vocalist and bassist Alex Weber (Revocation, Malignancy, Exist), and drummer Gabe Seeber (Decrepit Birth, Abigail Williams). While inspired by past greats, their new band rips a hole through the space-time continuum with a modern spin on progressive thrash metal.

“We are excited to announce that Void Sector Zero has signed with Season of Mist”, Muenzner says. “I’ve always wanted to play tech-thrash. I was listening to bands like Coroner, Voivod, Toxik, Martyr, Hexenhaus and Aspid before I got into technical death metal”.

“When I decided to start my own band in this style, I thought of Alex and Gabe”, Muenzner continues. “Not only are they both great players, but I knew from our time in Obscura that we had great chemistry both on and off stage. We can’t wait to share our debut album with you very soon!”.

Watch the trailer for Void Sector Zero’s upcoming single Below:

The vast world of extreme metal is governed by supernatural forces. So when three of its most hellaciously bright stars align, the creative explosion is more powerful than a supernova.    

After orbiting each other for years, Void Sector Zero brings together the otherworldly talents of guitarist Christian Muenzner (Necrophagist, ex-Obscura, ex-Alkaloid), vocalist and bassist Alex Weber (Revocation, Malignancy, Exist), and drummer Gabe Seeber (Decrepit Birth, Abigail Williams). While inspired by past greats, their new band ventures into an alien dimension that’s fun, fast, fresh and frightening. Their soon-to-be-announced debut album shreds a hole through the space-time continuum with its modern spin on progressive thrash metal.

KENYON RECORDS ANNOUNCES THE DEFINITIVE DELUXE REISSUE OF THE DANGEROUS TOYS 1989 CLASSIC DEBUT ALBUM

Kenyon Records is proud to announce Dangerous Toys: The Definitive Edition, a landmark reissue of the self-titled 1989 debut from Austin, Texas sleaze-metal legends Dangerous Toys. Arriving Friday, November 13, 2026, this fully authorized, band-approved release reunites the group with the man who produced their sound in the first place: Max Norman, who returned in 2026 to remaster the album from the ground up, completing dedicated remasters specifically for vinyl and for CD to preserve maximum fidelity in each format.

The 2xCD, 2xLP, and 2xCassette editions are anchored by nine live recordings from the band's explosive 1989 tour that have never been heard by anyone outside the band until now (the 2xCD includes extra live bonus track of "That Dog"). The recordings come straight from frontman Jason McMaster's personal stash of soundboard cassettes — tapes their front-of-house engineer handed off after shows so the band could study their own performances, never duplicated or heard publicly until this release.

"I was excited to hear these somewhat raw but cool recordings from long ago for the first time in at least 30 years, maybe more," says McMaster. "No copies were ever made of these master cassettes. We hope you enjoy these historical moments from the archives."

THE ALBUM

Formed in Austin, Texas in October 1987, Dangerous Toys fused Southern-fried hard rock swagger with metal muscle and punk attitude — equal parts Aerosmith and ZZ Top, filtered through razor-edged sleaze. Singer Jason McMaster (formerly of progressive metal outfit Watchtower) joined guitarist Scott Dalhover, bassist Mike Watson, and drummer Mark Geary, and within a year the band had landed a major-label deal — remarkably, without ever recording an actual demo. Industry buzz was instead sparked by a cassette of a live local radio broadcast, and after several shows in Texas, a bidding war broke out among major labels.

Produced by Norman at the legendary Sound City studio — the same room later immortalized in Dave Grohl's 2013 documentary — and released May 9, 1989, the self-titled debut was instantly recognizable thanks to artist Tommy Pons' now-iconic cover: Bill Z. Bub, the leering, red-haired horror-clown jack-in-the-box that remains the band's visual signature to this day.

The record delivered two MTV Headbangers Ball staples and bona fide radio hits, "Teas'n, Pleas'n" and "Scared," plus fan-favorite third single "Sport'n a Woody." "Teas'n, Pleas'n" climbed to #1 on MTV's Dial MTV, knocking Bon Jovi from the top spot. The album itself hit No. 65 on the Billboard 200 and earned a Gold certification from the RIAA — a breakout run that sent the band out on the road with Judas Priest, The Cult, Motörhead, L.A. Guns, and Alice Cooper.

NEW OFFICIALLY LICENSED MERCHANDISE

In conjunction with the reissue, Dangerous Toys and Kenyon Records have also entered into a new merchandise licensing agreement and are excited to introduce an all-new collectible line built around the band's iconic Bill Z. Bub clown imagery and logo and time specific to the 1989 album. The collection includes:

• High-quality 2.5” full color enamel pins featuring the band's iconic clown & logo

• Full-size back patch

• High-quality vinyl stickers 

• Wall flags/tapestries 

• Battle Jackets

• Slipmat

The new merchandise line will be available alongside the reissue, giving fans and collectors even more ways to celebrate Dangerous Toys exclusively at Kenyon Records webstore

OVERSIZE Share "Separate" Video — WATCH

British alt-shoegaze outfit OVERSIZE have returned with a stunning new single, "Separate," released today via SharpTone Records. Marking a powerful new chapter, the band returns a year after the release of their debut album, Vital Signs, to introduce brand new vocalist Nick Nowak.

Watch the video below.

The band comments, "We're incredibly excited to start this new chapter, not just with a new member, but also with a new creative outlook, after releasing our debut record we have a much better understanding of who we are as musicians and as a band — and we're so happy to share a little part of what we've been working on. This first single was actually the last song we wrote before heading into the studio to record. We finished it about a week before and despite thinking we had our minds set on which tracks we were going to track, it was abundantly clear we had to do this one, that's just the way it goes sometimes I guess!"

OVERSIZE will be touring the UK and Europe next month with The Devil Wears Prada, Novelists, and 156/Silence. All dates are below.
 

EUROPE + UK TOUR DATES 2026
WITH THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA, NOVELISTS, + 156/SILENCE:
10/7 — Munich, Germany — Backstage Werk
10/8 — Wiesbaden, Germany — Schlachthof
10/9 — Hamburg, Germany — Docks
10/10 — Eindhoven, Netherlands — Effenaar
10/12 — Vienna, Austria — Simm City
10/13 — Leipzig, Germany — Felsenkeller
10/14 — Prague, Czech Republic — ARCHA+
10/16 — Cologne, Germany — E-Werk
10/17 — Antwerp, Belgium — Zappa
10/18 — Paris, France — Élysée Montmartre
10/20 — Bristol, England — Electric Bristol
10/21 — Leeds, England — Project House
10/23 — London, England — Electric Brixton
10/24 — Manchester, England — New Century Hall
10/25 — Birmingham, England — O2 Institute

Formed in the South West of England, OVERSIZE — vocalist Nick Nowak; guitarists Lewis Lennane-Emm and Tazz Edwards; bassist George Lewis; and drummer Sam Shutler — blend '90s shoegaze textures, heavy grunge riffs, and raw post-hardcore catharsis. 

OVERSIZE are an alternative band formed in the Southwest of England. While the band don't shy away from their love of alternative '90s music, OVERSIZE have very little interest in being sonically tied to the past, their shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene. Exploring dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals. OVERSIZE have already had an impressive amount of live shows under their belt playing across the UK supporting the likes of Militarie Gun, Fiddlehead, Higher Power, Static Dress, Boston Manor, Modern Color to name a few. The debut record Vital Signs was released in February 2025 via SharpTone Records.

Although still very much in their infancy, the group has already developed a fully-formed, personal sound. Elements of post-hardcore, alternative metal, shoegaze and emo combine to deliriously heady effect. While the band don’t shy away from their love of alternative '90s music, and a love of HUM, The Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, and Pixies, OVERSIZEhave very little interest in being sonically tied to the past.

OVERSIZE ARE:
Nick Nowak — Vocals
Lewis Lennane-Emm — Guitar
Sam Shutler — Drums
George Lewis — Bass
Tazz Edwards — Guitar

British alt-pop artist SICKY offers mischief and revenge on new ‘Bubblegum Party’ single

British alternative artist SICKY unveils his new single 'Bubblegum Party', a playful, infectious slice of indie rock that pairs catchy pop sensibilities with his trademark off-kilter style.  Beneath the bubblegum facade lies a gloriously messy breakup party, served with a crooked grin as sweetness meets spite, chaos and a wicked sense of fun.

'Bubblegum Party' offers the first taste of his forthcoming full-length 'Redland' album - his fourth to date. Full of mischief, attitude and a darker sense of humour, here SICKY delivers one of his most fun and irreverent songs to date. 'Redland' is an album about friends lost along the way. It's a good bit darker than its predecessor Troubled Delight.

"Ultimately, 'Bubblegum Party' is a tale of sweet revenge. A public humiliation of someone who absolutely had it coming to them. It's a work of fiction but has a large toe touching reality. We've all met the cocky arrogant lowlife type who tries to control someone they're supposed to be close to. Well, in this song, he gets his comeuppance at our heroine’s birthday party," says Mick Butler.

"The bubblegum reference is effectively a middle finger gesture by the metaphorical blowing of an exploding gum bubble in someone's direction. It's poppy, it's silly and it's just a bit of fun amongst some much darker moments on the 'Redland' album".

SICKY is the solo project of Mick Butler, whose brand of melodic Britpop-infused indie rock spells good news for fans of Beck, Supergrass and early Blur. Originally from the Black Country region of England, he is now based in Shropshire.  

While Mick Butler has had his run of playing in bands, ranging from the brass soaked pop of Papa Mantra to the dirty stomp of SUMO, he now derives pleasure from banging out tunes and crafting new material. Literally everything you hear in his music is him squeezing noises out of anything that'll sing.

In 2025, SICKY released his widely acclaimed 'Troubled Delight' album, preceded by his sophomore 'Garbage Town' album in 2022. Prior to that, in 2021, he debuted with 'Bowling Balls', partially inspired by Prince, Bowie and Ray Bradbury's book 'The Martian Chronicles'. 

'Bubblegum Party' is now available from fine digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where his 'Troubled Delight' album can also be found. The 'Redland' album is out November 20th.

37 years since forming, New York Tri-State rock veterans JACK'S MAZE resurface with ‘Let It Go’

Many years since forming in 1989, American rocker outfit Jack's Maze is back with new material. Their new single 'Let It Go' is a driving, dark melodic, emotional progressive rock song that opens the next chapter for a band with a storied history. Originally based in Hightstown, New Jersey, Jack’s Maze originally cut their teeth in the early 90's as a band in the New York tri-state scene after initially launching as Laughing Jack.

Previewing their forthcoming album 'Once In A Blue Moon', set for release in January 2027 via Pennsylvania indie imprint RPM Entertainment, the story behind this record entails a journey 37 years in the making.  Jack's Maze is an enduring tale of music, friendship, perseverance, and unfinished dreams, now ready to take their next major leap forward.

"I first came up with the basic music and melody for 'Let It Go' about 15 years ago! I would play it off and on and always singing “…and the music take you/me away, then all questions are answered today…”. However, the rest of the lyrics and music were done recently. The concept is obviously how music can be a remedy for what may troubling you at any given time - it’s an escape and freedom - but, for me at least, sometimes it can be a double-edge sword," says frontman Frank Cinquegrana.

"There is constantly music in my head - just about every waking minute, whether I am proactively humming/singing or playing it in my head on purpose. Half the time I hear it in my head like background music, whether I’m working, eating, having sex or even socially conversing with others! In fact, there is a song playing in my head at the moment I am writing this; and driving me absolutely crazy!!! Music is usually freedom but sometimes it can be chains."

Founded in 1989 as Laughing Jack, the band soon took on the name Jack's Maze and built a solid reputation by playing throughout New York City and surrounding states, drawing from the expansive creativity of progressive rock, the power of classic rock, and diverse influences ranging from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Rush to early Genesis and Mozart. 

The original lineup featured Frank Cinquegrana on lead vocals and lyricist, Robin Ross on keyboards and guitars, Scott Cowan on rhythm guitar, Joe Torres on bass, Joe Granowski on drums, and Bill Snyder on lead guitar, Robin also served as the band's composer and a driving creative force behind its music.

By 1993, Jack's Maze completed their debut album 'Lost in the Maze', which was subsequently shelved when life happened and the music went quiet. Despite never receiving an official release at the time, the album remained an important part of the band’s story. That music quietly waited nearly three decades to be discovered when the band reunited in 2022 to bring that unfinished chapter to life. 

On the 30th anniversary of the album, Jack’s Maze finally released this record, giving fans the opportunity to hear music that had waited nearly 30 years to be discovered. The powerful track 'Big Machines' emerged as the band’s anthem—a fitting representation of the energy, ambition, and timeless character of their music. Unfortunately, Snyder passed away in 2021, but his playing and contribution to the band's music remain an enduring part of the band's legacy.
 
After resurfacing from their decades-long hibernation, the band has not been sitting idle - now moving forward with their second album 'Once In a Blue Moon'. Cinquegrana's broad musical perspective and powerful storytelling remain central to the identity of Jack’s Maze. Developing the band's progressive-rock sound and original compositions with Robin Ross, they have been able to continue exploring the many musical influences that define Jack’s Maze through songwriting, recording and collaboration that continues to drive the band's creative vision.

For Robin Ross, the decades in between have been productive, allowing the band to continue making new music following their reunion, taking things to a new level. A multi-faceted musician, songwriter, and producer who has released numerous albums, he has also designed and developed several recording spaces, including Triple R Studios and Sound Complex near NYC. 

Now a central figure in the creative pulse of Milford, Pennsylvania, Ross has since grown his current hub, Baa Baa Leaf Music, into a creative sanctuary and production house. It it here where he recorded, mixed and produced this new album, working alongside famed master engineer Jonathan Duckett (Phillip Glass, Kenny G, David Sanborn).  
 
Jack’s Maze is more than a band - it is a story of music, friendship, perseverance, and unfinished dreams finally brought back to life. The band’s journey proves that great music never truly dies out. Driven by an enduring love of music, they continue to celebrate the sound they created decades ago, while keeping the spirit of progressive rock alive for a new generation. The maze may have started in 1989, but their journey is far from over.

On September 22, Jack's Maze releases 'Let It Go' across digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and Bandcamp, where their 'Life In The Maze' album is also available on CD or digital download.

BEAUTY IN CHAOS & ASHTON NYTE reunite for 'Home' single, marking 8 years since debut

Beauty In Chaos reunites with longtime collaborator Ashton Nyte of famed South African goth rockers The Awakening for their new single  'Home' - a intimate, emotionally resonant track that arrives exactly eight years after Nyte first joined the Michael Ciravolo-led project for 'Storm', the debut that introduced BIC to the world. The anniversary makes 'Home' a particularly fitting reunion, bringing Nyte back to the project for a song about love, trust, connection and the feeling of finally finding where you belong.

'Home' is the first taste of the coming album ‘Quiet Place’, BIC's fifth full-length record with 10 tracks on offer. Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), 'Home' will be released on September 28th via LA-based imprint 33.3 Music Collective.

'Home' arrives eight years to the day that Beauty In Chaos' first video and single 'Storm' were first unleashed on an unsuspecting world, introducing their debut album ‘Finding Beauty In Chaos’. Hence, it is fitting that Ashton Nyte should once again contribute lyrics and vocals, against the soundscape written and created by BIC curator Michael Ciravolo  and producer Michael Rozon.

“When we started writing music for this album, I wanted to send each artist a bit more open music tracks than in the past, giving them more space to create - with the plan of adding our usual dense textures around and inspired by their words and melody," says Michael Ciravolo.

"When Ashton sent back his vocals for “Home”, I thought it was perfect in its intimacy, and we added very little if anything at all after.  It just felt ‘complete’ as it was.  It think Michael Rozon and I have learned that sometimes less can be best."

Filmed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films) and Ashton Nyte, who also directed and edited it, the accompanying video features Ashton Nyte (vocals), Michael Ciravolo (guitar) and Tish Ciravolo (bass), Nyte shares, “I think the video captures the beauty and spirt of the song, without any of the ‘goth trappings’ that ruin so many videos that fall may fall into this space”.

“'Home' is essentially a song that celebrates the simple truth that home is indeed where the heart is, as the old expression goes. A shared life is more meaningful than a life lived in solitude when you share it with someone you love and trust," says Ashton Nyte.

“Musically, it is one of my favourite melodies that Michael has ever sent my way. Much like 'Storm', it felt like the song was made for me, and I wrote and recorded the lyrics almost immediately upon hearing the music. Yes, I am home again."

Beauty In Chaos has come a long way since LA-based guitarist Michael Ciravolo(formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) launched this project in 2018. Over the years, BIC has involved members of The Mission, The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls and dUg Pinnick, ICE-T, Rolan Bolan and Zakk Wylde, among other luminaries.

"'Storm' was so very important to me. It started a lifelong friendship and creative partnership with Ashton, and it also became a seminal part of BIC’s musical journey," says Michael Ciravolo.

"As always, I strive to have our videos completed different from its predecessor. I really loved the style of Ashton’s recent videos.  Soft focus, black and white is certainly the ‘polar opposite’ from our 'Get Down Moses' video and felt perfect in its intimate simplicity for 'Home'.  I had ultimate confidence in handing the editing keys to Ashton on this one.”

Most recently , Beauty In Chaos released the digital compilation 'Hidden In Plain Sight, 2018-2025', preceded by the double A-side single 'Get Down Moses', immortalized by Johnny Cash, and the much-loved Joe Strummer classic 'God's Gonna Cut You Down'.

'Home' is available everywhere digitally, including Bandcamp and the artist's store, where all past BIC releases can also be found. On September 28th, the 'Quiet Place' album will be available digitally and as a double vinyl release.

FABIO FRIZZI Announces US Exclusive Limited Edition Vinyl 'The Boat Can Leave Now: 13 Years Of Frizzi 2 Fulci'

FABIO FRIZZI Featuring F2F BAND has announced The Boat Can Leave Now: 13 Years Of Frizzi 2 Fulci, a collection of live recordings available exclusively on the 2026 North American tour. Limited to 400 copies, the vinyl release tells the international story of FABIO FRIZZI and the F2F BAND. It was born as a tribute to the films of Lucio Fulci, and their artistic collaboration from 1975 to 1990. 

FABIO FRIZZI Featuring F2F BAND are bringing the legendary Italian composer’s celebrated live tribute to filmmaker Lucio Fulci back to the U.S. and Canada this fall. FABIO FRIZZI, the iconic Italian composer, orchestrator, and conductor behind more than one hundred film and television scores. 

FRIZZI is known worldwide for his unforgettable collaborations with director Lucio Fulci. Together, their work helped define the sound and atmosphere of Italian genre cinema, with Frizzi creating landmark scores for films including The Beyond, The City of the Living Dead, Zombie 2, Manhattan Baby, and A Cat in the Brain.

Frizzi’s unmistakable music has continued to find new audiences across generations. Quentin Tarantino notably featured the main theme from Frizzi’s Seven Notes in Black in Kill Bill: Vol. 1, further cementing the composer’s influence beyond the world of Italian horror and cult cinema.

With FRIZZI 2 FULCI, Frizzi and the F2F BAND bring these iconic compositions to the stage in a powerful live celebration of his enduring creative partnership with Fulci and the films that made their work legendary.

The FRIZZI 2 FULCI project was born in 2013 on Halloween night at London’s Union Chapel. Since then, FABIO FRIZZI and the F2F BAND have brought Fulci’s cinematic universe to life for audiences around the world, blending horror-score atmosphere, progressive rock, and live performance into an immersive concert experience.

The 2026 run marks the project’s eleventh tour in the United States and will feature longtime members Riccardo Rocchi, Alessio Contorni, and Francesco Saguto, alongside Dave Neabore on bass and Christopher Hawkind on drums.

Tickets and additional information will be available at https://www.fabiofrizzi.com/.

LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE Share "Faceless" Video — WATCH

The German gothcore band Lacrimas Profundere are releasing the new single "FACELESS" today, including the accompanying video. The song is also featured on the upcoming studio album Lay Me Down O Silent Fear.

Watch the video below.

What could it sound like if BRING ME THE HORIZON were to suddenly cover...QUEEN?

Guitarist Oliver Nikolas Schmid says, "We don't know, but with 'FACELESS,' we at least gave it a try."

He continues, "'FACELESS' was the song I had written as a tribute to 'Unseen' from the last album. But somehow the chorus never really caught fire, and I really annoyed Julian with it, too — until he then sent three fragments that unfortunately had absolutely nothing to do with the actual song. They were simply three ideas he had sung dry. One of the ideas grabbed me immediately upon first hearing it. Large parts of the music and the key had to be completely changed and rewritten around the vocals, but it was magical. You can't plan things like that, they just happen, and that's what I love so much about music and what still keeps it so exciting for me after all these years. If Julian and I should ever part ways, we will certainly still write good music, but this special something will be gone forever. The term 'GOTHCORE' had already been haunting my mind since the descriptions of the last album, such as HIM-meets-Metalcore, and now it was time to create an album that hopefully marks the starting point of this new musical style. 'FACELESS' fits wonderfully with what I envision it to be."

Lay Me Down O Silent Fear will be released on September 25 through Steamhammer worldwide in the following configurations:
CD DigiPak incl. poster
LP, 140 g, white/black splatter vinyl, padded inner sleeve, coloured insert
Limited box set incl. CD Digipak, beanie and chain with pendant

THE EXILES Release the Music Video for the Single I’M THE ONE As the Debut Single RAINMAKER Lands in the Top 10 at Radio

THE EXILES have released the music video for the track ‘I’m The One’ from their album ‘Turning Time”, available now on Bad Reputation Records. You can watch the video below:

The first single “Rainmaker” recently entered the top 10 on 97 Underground radio, debuting at #4.

Lead Guitarist Sean Manning talks about the song “I’m The One”, “I was really into Jimmy’s Outrider solo album when I initially wrote this riff. I love the Telecaster—such a raw and honest guitar. Paul came up with the chorus, which really finishes it off, and I added the heavy Les Paul onto the new track here in Dallas at Empire Studios.

And it sounds like I nicked some early Bernie Marsden rhythm work for the chorus.”

Purchase the CD: https://badreputation.fr/THE-EXILES-TURNING-TIME

The digital album is available on all digital platforms. It can be streamed and purchased now on Bandcamp a https://theexilesuk.bandcamp.com/

First released in a limited capacity in 1996 as SEAN MANNING & PAUL RAFFERTY - 'The Exiles', 'Turning Time' constitutes an extensive re-working of the original 10 songs and adds five previously unheard bonus tracks unearthed by Manning during the process of transferring old reels to digital, including the stirring 'Soul Woman', 'Ain't No Fool', a hypnotic ROLLING STONES-esque number, and 'Soul Has No Home', conjuring shades of early ROD STEWART. 

Working at Empire Sound studios in Dallas TX over the course of several months, Manning added guitars and backing vocals to most of the tracks and brought in veteran keyboardist, Jeff Jacobs, whose credits include FOREIGNER and BILLY JOEL, to add Hammond B3 organ, piano. as well as strings to the album's majestic magnum opus, 'Richmond Castle Walk', a not so subtle nod to LED ZEPPELIN. 

"I am extremely pleased with how everything turned out", states Manning who produced the project and re-mixed the album, assisted by Empire Sound operator, Alex Gerst. "When we recorded these songs originally, they were just quality demos, but we really didn't get the chance to fully flesh things out the way we would have under different circumstances. I am grateful 'Turning Time' has afforded me the opportunity to return to the studio one more time and create a whole new album in the process."

Aeternum Release New Single "Spatial Memory", Announce Tour with Ventana and Deadly Apples ​

Modern rock band Aeternum continue a breakout year with the release of their new single “Spatial Memory,” while simultaneously announcing their upcoming Saints of Sickness Tour this November alongside Ventana and Deadly Apples.

Produced by Scott Wilson (Saving Abel) and co-written by Paul Bartolome (Asking Alexandria), “Spatial Memory” captures Aeternum at their most vulnerable and introspective, transforming a difficult personal moment into a powerful modern rock anthem. The band tracked all of the material at Sunshine Studios Live in Colorado Springs, creating a sonic foundation that balances atmosphere, intensity, and emotional honesty.

At the heart of “Spatial Memory” is the struggle to remain present when everything feels overwhelming. For vocalist Kayla, the song emerged from a particularly difficult day when she arrived at band rehearsal struggling emotionally. What began as frustration with a familiar grounding exercise ultimately became a deeper realization about the power of attention and awareness.

Kayla explains:

"With 'Spatial Memory', on a particularly hard day, I met with my band to write. I was straight up not doing well. my mindset at the time led me to the repetition of a grounding method I'd heard since I was a kid. 'Can you list 5 things you feel? 4 things you see? 3 things you hear?' etc. I felt annoyed thinking about this simple list of questions. Then annoyed with myself, why is the simplicity of a solution frustrating me? In reality I was resisting awareness. I underestimated the power of my attention, and where i place it. I really leaned into that feeling.” 

That willingness to confront difficult emotions has become an important part of Aeternum’s identity. After a year filled with new music, festivals, new cities, and an ever-growing fanbase, the band is ready to take that momentum back on the road.

Jose reflects on the band’s 2026 journey:

“2026 has been a year of growth for us, releasing new music, meeting a ton of new fans and playing some great festivals!”

Bass player Cam adds:

"It’s been exciting playing more new places with and engaging with fans old and new! We can’t wait to hit the road again this fall once more with Ventana and Deadly Apples.  We plan to be on the road again quite a bit next year as well as releasing a lot more music and videos." 

The Saints of Sickness Tour marks another major milestone for Aeternum, with the band heading out for their fifth tour in just two years. Drummer Kris says the opportunity to hit the road again with familiar friends makes the upcoming run especially exciting:

“Going out on our 5th tour in 2 years is surreal. Being out with our friends in Ventana once again, plus sharing the stage with Deadly Apples every night, is going to be mind-alteringly epicl!”

With “Spatial Memory” now available and another tour on the horizon, Aeternum are showing no signs of slowing down. The band plans to spend much of 2027 on the road while continuing to release new music and videos, building on the momentum of a 2026 that has already taken them to new stages and introduced their music to fans across the country.

TEMIC Rise on Crushing New Single "Ashes"

With their chart-topping debut, TEMIC certainly lived up to the hype, but fans and critics are teeming with anticipation over the first two glimpses at the international prog supergroup’s mighty and magical second album.

Today, TEMIC are releasing the third advanced single from Ceiba. While heavy in the wake of loss, “Ashes” opens the album on an uplifting note by finding the strength that resides within the pain.  

“Ceiba is a concept album about loss in all its various forms”, TEMIC says. “‘Ashes’ begins the album’s journey shrouded by turmoil and hopelessness. But through that struggle comes the fight for renewal and, ultimately, inner strength”.

ESOTERIK Unleashes Their Heaviest Transmission Yet: "Honesty"

Alternative industrial-metal duo ESOTERIK announces the global release of their most aggressive single to date, "Honesty," available now across all major streaming platforms alongside a cinematic, full-production official music video below.

Following the momentum of their recent release "No Absolutes," "Honesty" marks a critical inflection point in the band’s ongoing release cycle. The track steamrolls with a thick, low-tuned wall of guitar grit, driving percussion, and brooding electronic soundscapes that feel less like a traditional arrangement and more like a heavy industrial architecture collapsing in slow motion. The production delivers a punishing, raw weight reminiscent of 90s alternative metal titans, balancing unrelenting sonic aggression with a cinematic, highly calculated atmosphere.

Visually anchored by a unique reimagining of The Hanged Man tarot card, the single’s artwork features a fox bound to a sword by a rope forced to face a serpent. The iconic tarot motif traditionally signifies a forced pause, a total reversal of worldview, and the ultimate act of surrender–themes that directly mirror the track's narrative and visual direction. 

The accompanying official music video elevates this lore into a haunting visual reality. Set within a dark, void-like space with shallow water surfaces and surreal underwater cinematography, the visual juxtaposes an abyss of submerged struggle with the act of breaking through to the surface.

"Honesty is not a quality that comes easily / Treachery artificially has altered me," delivers vocalist Allison Eckfeldt, setting a stark commentary on an individual battered and shaped by a hostile world.

Where previous singles explored the frustration of repeating loops and the friction of rigid boundaries, "Honesty" drops the listener straight into the aftermath of the collision. It examines the precise moment the fighting ceases: surrendering to circumstance not out of defeat, but as a liberation from self-imposed restraints. The chorus highlights an exaggerated, haunting internal monologue ("All that you say that I do"), giving voice to an internal critic seeking a standard that can never be reached.

"Musically and lyrically, 'Honesty' is the heaviest territory we’ve stepped into yet," says guitarist and producer Brady Bledsoe. "It hits the exact moment where the pain has burned off and there's nothing left to defend. You stop trying to retrace your steps or fix what’s broken–something shifts in perspective and you start to realize it was never broken."

The single is out now globally via Trisol Music Group, with the official music video streaming on YouTube.
