SOiL Return to the UK for an October/November 2026 Tour with Finger Eleven and Adema

UK favorites SOiL will make their long-awaited return in October and November 2026, following the massive success of their sold-out 2024 UK tour, which featured the band’s special All Scars set.

 

This new run expands to 15 dates, marking the band’s longest UK stretch yet, and includes several first-ever stops in cities they’ve never performed in throughout their extensive career.

 

A major highlight of the tour will be their appearance at the legendary Hard Rock Hell Festival XIX on November 5th in Great Yarmouth.

 

SOiL promises a powerful, career-spanning set packed with fan favorites, charting hits, deep cuts, and even long-awaited new material, making this one of their most anticipated UK tours to date.

 

Accompanying SOiL on this trek are Canada’s own Finger Eleven (best known for the hits “Paralyzer” and “One Thing”), and long time friends Adema (best known for the hits “Giving In” and “The Way You Like It”).

 

SOiL bassist Tim King talks about the package:

“We  are so excited to have both bands on this bill with us. Finger Eleven and SOiL go way back but we’ve never properly toured together. And Adema. Well, we’ve been  great friends with them since 2001. In fact, our first ever UK tour in  2002 was with Adema. It’s great to see we are both still around and able to team up once again to come across the pond together!”

 

“Finger Eleven has been looking forward to making their way back to the UK,” says vocalist Scott Anderson. “We’re grateful for the opportunity to be touring with SOiL this time around. We can’t wait to reunite with old friends and rock out across the pond!”

 

Vocalist/guitarist Tim Fluckey from Adema also chimes in about the upcoming tour: “We are excited to finally get back to the UK and reconnect with our fans there! To be able to return with SOiL on this tour couldn’t be better for us! We did a tour with SOiL in the UK in 2002. Not only where they great shows, we made life long memories and we can’t wait to make more with them and our fans.”

 

Tickets are available at all fine ticket outlets or directly from the venues.

Metalcore Band Breathe In Release New Single "Misfortune's Hand" + Official Music Video ​    

The rising force in metalcore, Breathe In, released their electrifying new single “Misfortune’s Hand”. Bridging the ferocity of American metalcore with the cinematic precision of Japanese metal and visual kei, the track delivers an immersive and sonically devastating experience that defines the band’s signature Visual Metalcore sound.

 

With “Misfortune’s Hand,” Breathe In channels the intensity of Bad Omens and Orbit Culture, the visual grandeur of Black Veil Brides, and the artistic flair of Japanese legends The GazettE and Hyde. The result is a track that’s both crushing and theatrical.

 

Brian Kang shares, "For me, 'Misfortune’s Hand' represents the continuation and confidence of our new/current lineup. Our last single was a reintroduction of our band (we went through a lineup change prior). This one is about carrying the baton forward. We wanted something instrumentally and lyrically intense to showcase our accelerating momentum."

 

The music video, available on YouTube, was directed by the band's drummer, Paul Illge Jr. His in-house production crew, who have collectively worked across the film industry with various professional credits, serve as the creative backbone behind all of Breathe In’s visual projects. The video was shot in Brooklyn, NY, bringing the band’s artistic vision to life.

 

“Misfortune's Hand” is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Hailing from the heart of the tri-state, Breathe In brings together raw talents from New Jersey, Brooklyn. Fusing the aggressive edge of American metal with the precision and artistry of Japanese metal, their sound is as cinematic as it is intense, built to leave a mark both visually and sonically. Formed by five seasoned musicians who have weathered the ever-shifting tides of the music industry, Breathe In is united by a shared mission to bring an intense, sonic experience like no other. The band is made up of vocalist Shola Aurora, guitarists Brian Kang & Topeng, bassist Rob Gnarly, and drummer Paul Illge Jr.

“Transcendence” marks the first single from Horizon Theory’s upcoming full-length album, Mission Control, slated for release in March 2026. Accompanied by a visualizer, the track delivers an atmospheric and hard-hitting sonic experience.

 

Produced by Morgan Rose, mixed by Chris Dawson and mastered by Kris Crummett, the single delivers a polished sound that rivals some of modern rock’s most powerful productions.

 

Josh Harrington, the band's vocalist shares, "'Transcendence' is a song that I think everyone can relate to. It’s basically about a relationship that implodes. Love lost and questions unanswered. Something we’ve all been through at some point in our lives. It features Morgan on drums and backing vocals also!"

 

He adds, "This will be our first release working with a producer and until we toured with Sevendust we hadn’t really considered it. While we were on the road with them Morgan mentioned getting in the studio and putting an album together. To say we were pumped at the opportunity is an understatement! Working with Morgan was an awesome experience and a great way for us to expand our sound with some fresh ideas in the studio. We can’t wait for you to hear the rest of the album Mission Control!"

 

Morgan Rose comments, “I had the best time working with these guys. The songs are amazing. Lyrically, and musically, I have no doubt people will relate to it in a big way”. 

 

“Transcendence” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

DON’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS TURN TRAGEDY INTO TRIUMPH ON “BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE” — OUT NOVEMBER 7TH ​   

New York City alternative indie-pop rock band Don’t Believe In Ghosts return with their most personal and powerful release to date, But On The Bright Side, available everywhere this Friday, November 7th via Mindful Recordings. The band will celebrate the release with a special hometown show at Soho Live NYC on Saturday, November 15th, joined by special guests Moonwater.

 

The album title, But On The Bright Side, was born from a year that tested the band’s strength and unity like never before. Early in the process of making the record, frontman Steven Nathan was diagnosed with a genetic kidney disorder, forcing him to completely rethink his health, lifestyle, and priorities while pushing forward to complete the album.

 

Guitarist Dan DelVecchio nearly lost his ability to play after a serious medical condition required surgery, with recovery stretching longer than expected and putting the band’s live future in question. Drummer Ken Yang endured the devastating loss of his father and later faced a medical emergency that required life-saving surgery, followed by complications that sent him back into the hospital.

 

“It was hard wrapping mixes and putting the final touches on these songs after all we'd been through this last year,” says Nathan. “That’s really where the title But On The Bright Side came from. Even when everything feels like it’s falling apart, there’s always something to hold onto — and for us, that was the music.”

 

Stream Don't Believe In Ghosts

https://linktr.ee/dontbelieveinghosts

Recorded across multiple studios including Mindful Recording Studio (NYC)Canyon Private Studios (Nashville, TN), and Mixing Night Studios (OH), the album represents a mosaic of collaboration and perseverance. The band worked with Grammy-winning producer Ken Lewis (FUN., X Ambassadors, Taylor Swift) and Cooper Anderson (Co-produced “Girl” and “Drowning”), alongside co-writing sessions with Brendan Benson (The Raconteurs), Don Miggs, and Nick Brown (MONA). Mixing duties were shared by Steven NathanKen Lewis, and the legendary Mark Needham (The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Neon Trees), giving the album its dynamic and cinematic energy.

 

The album follows the success of recent singles “Driver,” “Brooklyn Baby,” and “Outta Your Head” — the latter currently receiving airplay around the world. Together, they set the tone for a record that blends introspection and optimism, transforming personal struggle into soaring, anthemic alt-pop.

 

While the past year brought uncertainty, But On The Bright Side stands as a defiant statement of resilience, creativity, and faith in moving forward.

 

When Don’t Believe In Ghosts return to the stage at Soho Live on November 15th, it will mark more than just a release celebration — it will be a rebirth.

 

“When we walk out on that stage, it’s not just about performing,” Nathan reflects. “It’s about everything we went through to get there — and the fact that we’re still here, stronger than ever.”

Dark Metal Band THE VICE Unleash First Single/Video From Upcoming EP "The Red Tape Sessions"! ​  

Stockholm-based dark metal four-piece THE VICE has announced the release of their brand new 3-track EP "The Red Tape Sessions", set to drop on December 5 via Noble Demon. With the track "Cardinal Tropes", the band offers a first glimpse of what’s to come. The single is accompanied by a striking music video, available to watch below:

THE VICE about the song: "Sometimes things don't have to be too complicated, pretentious. 'Cardinal Tropes' began with only a couple of lines spat out on top of a simple, cool rhythm. Those first few seconds made it very clear as to what kind of a song it was going to be, so writing and arranging the rest was nothing but smooth sailing. And the end result is a dazzling display of The Vice firing on all cylinders, a purple freaking haze of mean rock 'n' roll, dark metal, self-indulgence and a juvenile tenacity to always take the road less traveled." 

From the very beginning, THE VICE has followed their own crooked path, driven by a desire to carve out a place of their own within the scene.

 

And that grimy, wildhearted, metal/rock/pop fusion, with one foot firmly planted in the windswept, frozen North and the other cemented to the concrete of the streets, sure sounds like nothing else.

 

Dark, blackened metal, ferocious rock 'n' roll, posh punk and harsh, hardcore attitude; mixed with a huge dose of the cultural colossi of the 90's such as Guns & Roses, Pantera, Prince, Grunge, Oasis, Neometal, Fight Club, The Matrix and Terminator 2 to name a few. All of that - and everything in between - comes close to describing the very essence of THE VICE.

Three full-length albums and numerous EPs into their career, the band stands as a confident, adrenaline-pumping unit - a bunch of loose cannons at the starting blocks, ready to commence the next chapter in THE VICE saga.

 

The first leg of this new era is marked by "Cardinal Tropes", the opening track from "The Red Tape Sessions" mini-EP, closing out 2025 with a colorful bang. The track is a straightforward, mean-sounding statement piece - a perfect representation of THE VICE in 2025.

 

"The Red Tape Sessions" - a striking collection that builds upon the foundations of March’s "A Great Unrest" (Noble Demon), elevating both the production and songwriting while drenching it all in a strange, electrifying neon glow - arrives December 5 and is available for pre-order HERE.

The Vice are:
Rickard - Vocals & Guitars 
Charlie - Bass 
Petter - Drums
Joel Öhman - Guitar

Aftermath Celebrates 40 Years with a Visualizer/Lyric Video for their Song "Eyes of Tomorrow" ​  

Chicago metal legends Aftermath are celebrating 40 years of musical chaos with the release of a brand-new visualizer/lyric video for their classic track “Eyes of Tomorrow.”The song, which originally appeared as the title track of their groundbreaking debut album, gets a powerful new visual treatment in honor of the band’s four-decade legacy.

 

Formed on October 31, 1985, Aftermath helped define and push the boundaries of the thrash and crossover scenes with their ferocious speed, technical precision, and thought-provoking lyrics. Now, four decades later, they’re commemorating this milestone by revisiting the song that captured the essence of their early vision—looking forward to the future while reflecting on their past.

 

The new “Eyes of Tomorrow” visualizer/lyric video was created by Dimitris Patelis, the same visionary artist behind the original Eyes of Tomorrow album artwork, bringing the legacy full circle with stunning visuals that connect the band’s past and present.

 

Frontman Kyriakos “Charlie” Tsiolis shares, "There are so many crazy stories in the annals of music history, from overnight success to horrible breakups and tremendous comebacks.  Our story may rival all of them.  Maybe forming on Halloween was a curse HAHA.  We were fortunate enough to be at the beginning of crossover thrash and then technical progressive thrash. Unfortunately, we released our debut album in 1994, the lowest point of thrash metal. We formed as a 4 piece, then became a 5 piece and went back to a 4 piece.   We had more bass players than Spinal Tap had drummers, we sued Dr. Dre, broke up and reformed 25 years later.  It’s actually a miracle to be finishing up our 4th album after these 40 years of chaos.   Looking back, we wouldn’t change a thing."

 

Currently the band is in the studio putting the finishing touches on their 4th studio album.  

 

The band states, "We are excited to be back in the studio. We can’t wait for everyone to hear this album. It’s heavy, it’s catchy, and in typical Aftermath fashion it sounds totally different from our previous albums."

 

The new album is being recorded at Electrowerks Recording, with engineering and mixing by Chuck Macak. Additional details, including the album title, tracklist, and release date, will be announced in the coming months.

 

WATCH the visualizer/lyric video:

Chicago based Aftermath, fronted by Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis, formed in October 1985 when Charlie and his schoolmate Steve Sacco (Guitar) got together. This early incarnation with Adam (Bass) and Ray Schmidt (Drums) released their first demo in 1986 featuring “Sentenced to Death”, “Revenge”, “Shotgun” and “The Aftermath”.

In 1987, they unleashed their second demo entitled Killing the Future featuring the tracks “When Will You Die”, “Going No Place”, “Chaos”, “Meltdown” and “War for Freedom”. The band pursued a mind-blowing speed and technical brand of thrash that soon set them apart from the pack and in the process made them a pioneering crossover thrash band.

Aftermath unleashed their highly awaited masterpiece, No Time to Waste, through Zoid Entertainment/TLG/INgrooves on March 17, 2023. This release stands as the triumphant conclusion to a powerful trilogy, representing a notable departure from the somber tones of its predecessor.

 

In an exclusive statement, Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis shared, "We take immense pride in this album, a culmination of a trilogy that commenced with our debut. Crafted during a challenging era in contemporary history, 'No Time to Waste' emerges as an anthem of hope. In contrast to our previous dark conceptual endeavor, we've refined this record. The ten tracks within are both weighty and charged, delivering a potent metal experience coupled with a profound message - that collectively, we can overcome, but time is of the essence."

 

AFTERMATH is:
Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis - Vocals
Steve Sacco - Guitar
Ray Schmidt - Drums
George Lagis - Bass

The Wait Is Over – DETHFX Debut Album Antiutopia Has Arrived! ​

After nearly three years in the making, Orlando-based metal juggernaut DETHFX proudly unleashes their debut album, Antiutopia. Out now on all major platforms, the record delivers seven tracks of unrelenting groove, razor-sharp riffs, and pure sonic devastation.

With seven punishing tracksAntiutopia takes listeners through a sonic apocalypse. Relentless grooves collide with thrash aggression and modern heaviness, all wrapped in a crystal-clear production that refuses to compromise.

 

The band extends massive gratitude to those that supported us, such as Max NormanBill HudsonMike LepondJohnnie G at Sound Exchange, and especially Jasen Wilson, whose vision and dedication helped bring Antiutopia to life.

About Deadly Apples:

Montreal rock / metal band Deadly Apples – frontman / lyricist Alex Martel and drummer / composer Antoine Lamothe – has forged a reputation for its fierce, unpredictable, and high energy live performances often culminating with Martel diving – and drowning – into the crowd.  As rock music – and society – has become increasingly safe and bland, the French-Canadian band has received praise for bringing back the danger and unpredictability to unsuspecting audiences.

 

Accompanied on stage by a touring guitarist and keyboardist / dancer, the Great White North act has showcased its intensity in arenas and stadiums around the globe – United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, Japan – on high-profile tours with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Deftones and Rammstein, as well as Main Stage slots on festivals such as Hellfest Open Air, Knotfest, Vans Warped Tour, Hell & Heaven Fest and Resurrection Fest.

 

On their new full-length album DISTRESS, Deadly Apples push the limits of their catchy sound to every extreme: darker, deeper, and heavier, yet their most accessible work yet.  Interlaced with cinematic atmospheres, poignant melodies, singular screams, gritty analog synths, pummeling drum beats, abrasive guitars, delicate pianos and heartfelt lyrics, DISTRESS is a unique, relevant and modern take on a classic genre that they made their own.

 

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails), with NIN alumni Danny Lohner performing the guitars / bass and Richard Patrick of Filter providing guest vocals.  Early pre-production work was also completed with Michael Beinhorn (Korn).

 

Deadly Apples is back and will fucking destroy anyone standing in its path.
THE DISTRESS IS COMING…………………………………………..

DEVORA Releases New Single "Cocaine Karaoke" ​

Outlaw pop trailblazer DEVORA has released her brand-new single “Cocaine Karaoke” alongside a visualizer, available now on all platforms. 

 

“I wrote ‘Cocaine Karaoke’ in Nashville with Johnny Gates and Austin Luther, and it came out of one of the most unhinged relationships I’ve ever been in,” DEVORA shares. “I was dating this guy who was living a double life; completely full of shit, always coked up, making these wild promises that never meant anything. It almost became a running joke how insane his lies got, like I was just buying into this karaoke version of reality he was selling me. Fed up and spun out on emotional whiplash, I put it all into this song."

 

She adds, "His lies started to feel like karaoke: loud, performative, and not real. He’d promise me the world, but it was all just a drug-fueled performance—cocaine karaoke. All noise and no substance. This song is me calling it out for what it was and closing that chapter for good.”

The Intemperate Sons Release Single "Saturday Is Always Hard" + Music Video via FRAME|WORK ​   

Alt-Rockers, The Intemperate Sons, have released the third track, "Saturday Is Always Hard," from their upcoming third studio album, Ephemera, set for release in winter 2025. 

 

“Saturday Is Always Hard” is a departure from some of the heavier tracks listeners have become accustomed to.  The song is a reflective journey of knowing you’re losing someone and the thoughts that clutter your mind waiting for that day.  The Intemperate Sons venture slightly into more heavier pop territory with this track using haunting keys and dark, yet jazzy guitar tone.  It’s the kind of song that sticks with you, perfect for anyone who loves music that feels real and hits deep. 

 

Stream/Download "Saturday Is Always Hard":

https://onerpm.link/309017549520

https://linktr.ee/theintemperatesons


The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.  All mastering is done by Mike Marsh Mastering in the U.K.

In the sweltering Dallas summer of 2019, before the onset of a global pandemic, The Intemperate Sons were born from blood, grit, and a shared obsession with the ghosts of alternative rock’s golden age. The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys—joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create a sound that’s equal parts searing riffs, haunting harmonies, and unapologetic soul. Think Alice in Chains’ brooding intensity, Stone Temple Pilots’ swagger, and R.E.M.’s poetic undercurrent, all filtered through a ‘70s rock haze that refuses to play it safe.

This isn’t just a band; it’s a family affair, where the unspoken bond between father and sons fuels every chord and lyric. Keith, a Dallas stage veteran, pens lyrics that cut deep—tales of regret, resilience, and the chaos of the human condition. Jake’s guitar lines, sharp yet soulful, weave narratives of their own, while Max’s voice carries the weight of a 25-year-old who’s lived a lifetime in his head. Mark, the groove-obsessed bassist, ties it all together.

The Intemperate Sons hit the ground running, catching the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man”that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) on singles like “Running Man” and “Dust to Dust” and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.

For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation—a reminder of why you fell in love with the genre’s raw honesty and a promise that its spirit still burns. The Intemperate Sons aren’t chasing trends; they’re carving their own path, one riff, one lyric, one night at a time.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 on 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.

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)

 

 

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

 

Sun Sept 27 @ Red River Revel Music Festival 2025 in Shreveport, LA

Fri Oct 17 @ Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, CA w/ Julien K, for all the emptiness, Our Frankenstein, Skyplant, Vanta After Dark

WATCH Drowning Pool Perform “Bodies” with Offset on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” ​   

Last night, multi-platinum superstar Offset joined hard rockers Drowning Pool to perform his genre-crossing smash single “Bodies” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

 

Joined by Atlanta standout J.I.D and hit-making producer BNYX®, Offset tore into the hard-rocking “Bodies” from his new KIARI:OFFSET deluxe album — but instead of sampling the iconic whispered hook and grinding guitar from Drowning Pool’s 2001 nü-metal hit of the same name, they had the real thing. Watch the instantly legendary performance below.

 

Drowning Pool is officially back in the studio, crafting a brand-new EP set for release in 2026 via SBG Records. This highly anticipated project will mark the next chapter in the band’s legacy as they gear up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their landmark debut album, Sinner.

 

Since its release in 2001, Sinner has become a defining record in modern rock, featuring the anthemic hit “Bodies,” which remains a cultural staple across radio, sports arenas, and entertainment to this day. With the 25-year milestone approaching, Drowning Pool is ready to honor their history while pushing their sound forward.

 

The forthcoming EP will be a powerful reminder of why Drowning Pool remains one of rock’s most enduring acts.

 

Further details on the EP, anniversary celebrations, and touring plans will be announced in the coming months.

Known for their iconic anthem “Bodies,” Drowning Pool needs no introduction. This breakout single propelled them to international recognition, leaving an indelible mark on the nu metal landscape. The song’s relentless energy and defiant spirit resonated with a generation, becoming an anthem for moshers, metalheads, and fans of electrifying live performances.

 

Ryan McCombs played a pivotal role in the band’s evolution, joining their ranks in the aftermath of the tragic loss of beloved frontman Dave Williams. His powerful vocals and charismatic stage presence breathed new life into Drowning Pool, solidifying their status as metal titans. Songs like “37 Stitches,” “Feel Like I Do,” and “Turn So Cold” catapulted them to new heights, earning them a place among the genre’s heavyweights.

 

Yet, Drowning Pool’s story is not just about music; it’s a testament to enduring friendships and a shared passion for their craft. Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

 

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2025 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.

BLACKLIST UNION Release New Single "Dyin' 4 U"; New Full Length Album "Slay The Dragon" Drops 9/12 ​   

Blacklist Union has officially released their latest single, “Dyin' 4 U,” available now on all streaming platforms.

 

The track delivers a raw and emotional punch, drawing from frontman Tony West’spersonal struggles. “‘Dyin’ 4 U’ is about the hideous divorce and pain I went through and even though I still deeply love her, I refuse to die for her,” West shares.

 

“Dyin’ 4 U” is taken from the band’s highly anticipated upcoming album, Slay the Dragon, scheduled for release on September 12, 2025. The record will mark Blacklist Union’s sixth full-length release, further cementing their place as one of modern hard rock’s most uncompromising voices.

 

With their signature mix of gritty rock ’n’ roll attitude and unflinching honesty, Blacklist Union continues to deliver music that is as powerful as it is personal.

https://linktr.ee/blacklistunion

Blacklist Union have built a reputation on their explosive live shows and unapologetically bold sound. Their previous record, Letters from the Psych Ward, racked up over two million streams, setting the stage for the band’s new album.

 

Frontman Tony West, known for his larger-than-life presence, took time out to dive deep into several transformative ayahuasca journeys in the heart of the Amazon, preparing for this next era of music.

 

As Tony put it, “Ayahuasca isn’t a drug—it’s powerful spiritual medicine from another realm. It helped me heal in ways I never thought possible, releasing layers of trauma, heartache, and sorrow. I’m not perfect—not Gandhi or anything—but it changed everything. My entire view of myself, love, the world, people, and my children changed because of those experiences.”

 

"Dyin' 4 U" was written by Tony West / Christopher Johnson, produced and mixed by Christopher Johnson. It was recorded at East West Studios in Hollywood, CA.

Blacklist Union frontman Tony West was raised in the Bronx on The Ramones, Bad Brains, and NYHC. Hearing the call of the wild west, he made his way to Los Angeles at 19 years old.

 

Tony took a break from L.A. to try out Memphis in 1998. While he was there, he attended the first Saliva gig with Paul Crosby on drums. This marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Paul and Tony, leading to management, song collaborations, and guest appearances in a few videos. Tony collaborated with guitarist Todd Youth (Murphy’s Law /Danzig) and Malfunkshun, which was kept active by Andy Wood’s brother Kevin Wood. Andy Wood is Tony’s muse, and he was honored to sing in his hero’s band.

 

I formed Blacklist Union because I wanted to play music that I wanted to hear, and we put out the first Blacklist Union record, After the Mourning, in 2006. The band’s name comes from getting the best musicians with the worst reputations in town. With a shamanistic blend of Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N’ Roses, Warrior Soul, The Cult, and Mother Love Bone... Blacklist Union was born.

Swim the Current Release New Single "Set It Off" via TLG|ZOID ​  

The dynamic rock band Swim the Current is excited to announce the release of their latest single, "Set It Off", via TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. This incredible new track was co-produced by George Pond and David Caplinger.

 

Alongside the single, Swim the Current also premiered the official music video for “Set It Off" that was directed by Tom Flynn. The video delivers a spoof on the cult-classic film Point Break, along with the band’s high-octane performance.

It is criminal not to watch it now!

 

STREAM "Set It Off"

https://ffm.to/stc-set-it-off

 

The band's vocalist, Marcos Leal states, "The song defines everything Swim The Current is and the message we carry,  a little bit of Texas country mixed with our heavy metal roots, with an attitude that won’t lay down for anyone. Get on board and enjoy the ride! It’s the echo in the tale you tried to bury, rising soft but sharp through the silence.  A thorn in the story you spun in gold, blooming louder each time you lied.”

 

The band will be playing The Stone Pony in Asbury, NJ on Friday, October 3rd with Close Enemies.

 

Bringing together an all-star lineup of rock talents, including vocalist Marcos Leal(formerly of Ill Niño), bassist George Pond (Disciples of Verity), guitarist Greg Antine, drummer Chris Moore (George Lynch, Ultraphonix, Rock of Ages), and lead guitarist Joe Gareri, takes the band's sound to new heights.

 

WATCH the Official Music Video Directed by Tom Flynn for "Set It Off":

Having played in numerous bands throughout the years, Guitarist Greg Antine came to a point in his career where he wanted to branch out and write songs that had more depth and were inspired by his personal life experiences. Having worked with Bassist George Pond for several years in previous projects including, Disciples Of Verity, Greg expressed his concept for Swim The Current to George in hopes of collaborating with him on this new music venture. The two began to flesh out ideas in George’s home studio and realized quickly that they were on to something special, but still needed something more to see their ideas through to complete their concepts. Greg was introduced to Joe Gareri, Guitar/Keyboards, by George during the Disciples Of Verity debut album recording sessions which Joe is also featured on as a guest artist. The three of them immediately hit it off and worked extremely well together. Greg and George realized that Joe’s cinematic writing style would be a perfect match for their concepts and Joe was then brought in as a full time member. After two songs were completed and demo’d in George’s studio utilizing programmed drums, it was suggested by their friend Allyson Song River Jaynes, that they reach out to her friend, drummer Chris Moore of Ultraphonix, Rock Of Ages, to see if he would be interested in working with the project. Upon hearing the strength of songwriting and musicianship of the band, Chris was all in and signed on as the fourth full time member of STC and now the band, from an instrument’s perspective, was complete.

 

The final missing piece for STC was a lead vocalist who could capture the sound they envisioned for their music. After working in the studio with a few different vocalists, George ultimately reached out to his friend Marcos Leal, of legendary international touring band Ill Nino. Marcos loved the music of STC as well as having the freedom and creativity of writing lyrics for the project. After recording their first song together with Marcos, "We Are Not The Same", everyone new that this lineup was something special and Swim The Current was now complete! The release of "We Are Not The Same" took off instantly, and amassed thousands of streams, YouTube views and followers through a total organic DIY social media campaign.

 

Swim The Current’s sound is influenced and reminiscent of many of their favorite artists including, Deftones, Faith No More, Sevendust, POD, and Stabbing Westward. They continue to write new music and look forward to sharing their future releases with the world!
