KID KAPICHI REVEAL VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE "5 DAYS ON (2 DAYS OFF)"

NEW ALBUM 'HERE'S WHAT YOU COULD HAVE WON' ARRIVES SEPTEMBER 23

Hastings-based four-piece Kid Kapichi have revealed brand new single "5 Days On (2 Days Off)" with an accompanying music video. Watch it below.

Frontman Jack Wilson explains, "'5 Days On (2 Days Off)' is an homage to some of our fans who work their arses off every day, then spend all their free money and time on going to gigs. Doing that is what gets them through."

The new album 'Here's What You Could Have Won' will be released on September 23 via Spinefarm. These 11 new songs are an excellent showcase for the band's bigger, punchier, "beat punk" sound, co-produced with Dom Craik from Nothing But Thieves. Featuring comeback single "New England" — their most explicitly political song yet, with a searing guest verse from Bob Vylan — and Partygatepolemic "Party at No. 10," which was praised by Liam Gallagher on Twitter, leading to Gallagher to ask the band to support him at London's Royal Albert Hall.

A behemoth of a band on and off stage thanks to the Hastings scene that nurtured them, Kid Kapichi's best songs explore racism, in-work poverty, mental health, violence, frustration, and all-consuming love with honesty and humor. All their songs come studded with barbed wire hooks, bristling with the juddering shock of lived experience, and the cathartic thrill of a balled-up fist relaxing into an air punch. 

"The title, 'Here's What You Could Have Won', sums up the feeling of missed opportunity,"says Wilson. "Being dragged right at a junction when you know you should be going left or screaming at the TV whilst someone picks the wrong answer on a game show. It looks inwardly at the UK and the decisions that have been made and how they have affected us all."

Lead guitarist Ben Beetham adds, "It's not a concept album but it does have a running theme. We like to write songs about current affairs and what direction the world seems to be turning. As a result, we write as close to the deadline as possible to keep it relevant."

SEVENTH STUDIO ALBUM BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE OUT NOVEMBER 5

PRE-ORDER HERE

Bullet For My Valentine have released the official video for current single "Rainbow Veins."

Arguably their most stunning yet, this new music video completes a collection of visceral and instinctive clips honed by creative director, Fiona Garden. Garden and singer/guitarist Matt Tuck have worked closely and intensely across all accompanying imagery around Bullet For My Valentine's upcoming seventh studio album, marking a distinct visual era for the band.

Watch the official video for "Rainbow Veins"

"Rainbow Veins" is taken from their forthcoming self-titled album Bullet For My Valentine, which is due out November 5 via Spinefarm/Search & Destroy.

"'Rainbow Veins' is out now and we couldn't be happier for you guys to finally hear it," the band says." It is one of our favorite tracks from the upcoming album and we're sure it’ll be one of yours too. Turn it up!"

Tuck began writing the album in September 2019 before the coronavirus pandemic brought things screeching to a halt in early 2020. But in June 2020, Tuck and long-time producer, Carl Brown, who co-produced the band's 2015 album, Venom, and produced and mixed Gravity, picked up the pace again. Together, they hunkered down at Treehouse Studio in Chesterfield, where the remainder of the album was written.

Pre-orders are now live here, with an instant download of singles, "Knives," "Parasite," and "Shatter." Special bundle options are available, including a unique clipping from the backdrop used on the bands "Venom" world tour from 2015-2017, t-shirts, hoodies, gold and silver cassettes, and limited vinyl.

Bullet For My Valentine recently made history by headlining the Download Festival Pilot event at Donington Park just last month. Kerrang! summed their performance up perfectly, saying, "Sharp, slick, and with every shredding solo sounding immense, they nail a full-stop onto the weekend with confidence and power."

BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE ARE:

Matt Tuck — Vocals + Rhythm Guitar

Michael "Padge" Paget — Lead Guitar

Jamie Mathias — Bass

Al Jourgensen Discusses Inspiration For “Search And Destroy” Cover In New Video Interview; From The Upcoming Ministry Album M

Unique Take On The Stooges Hit

Music Video Shot By Legendary Dean Karr

From The Upcoming Album Moral Hygiene,

Out October 1 Via Nuclear Blast Records

Preorders Available Now

Last month, Ministry premiered the music video for the new track “Search And Destroy” via Rolling Stone. The song is a unique take on The Stooges’ hit that offers a uniquely slowed down tempo and frontman Al Jourgensen’s guttural howl that amplifies the song’s wartime critique.

In this new video interview, released today, Jourgensen discusses the inspiration for the cover, featuring Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, Royal Machines) who worked closely with Al to hone Ministry’s version. It was an idea they came up with after teaming up on the track in a moment of accidental kismet at the Above Ground benefit concert in Los Angeles in 2019.

Hear Al Jourgensen discuss “Search And Destroy” in detail in the new interview video here: https://youtu.be/q2rX3WwXzWs

See the music video for “Search And Destroy” Below.

“Search And Destroy” will appear on Ministry’s upcoming 15th studio album Moral Hygiene, which will be released via Nuclear Blast Records on October 1. With some of Ministry’s strongest and most inspired material to date, the 10 tracks are a follow-up to 2018’s lauded AmeriKKKant and put forth Jourgensen’s societal manifesto and plea for civilization to get back to a set of standards that lives up to and embraces our humanity.

Moral Hygiene also includes the previously released “Good Trouble” (a tribute to late Congressman and Civil Rights icon John Lewis) as well as “Alert Level” that sounded the alarms about our collective dissonance towards the pandemic, climate change and the man formerly in the White House, bolstered by the song’s overarching question posed to listeners: “How concerned are you?”

Moral Hygiene was recorded with engineer Michael Rozon (also behind the boards on AmeriKKKant) at Scheisse Dog Studio, Jourgensen’s self-built home studio and creative lab. As with all Ministry albums, all songs are written and performed by Al Jourgensen. Additional contributions come from Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, Royal Machines), Cesar Soto (Man The Mute), John Bechdel (Killing Joke, Fear Factory), Roy Mayorga (Stonesour, Soulfly, Nausea), Paul D’Amour (Tool, Feersum Ennjin),Arabian Prince (N.W.A.), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and sitar player Flash.

Moral Hygiene will be available in CD, vinyl and digital download formats. Pre-orders are available at the follow links:

ABOUT MINISTRY

Born in 1981 in Chicago, Ministry has been the lifetime passion project of founder Al Jourgensen, considered to be the pioneer of industrial music. In its early days, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however, so did Ministry, quickly developing a harsher, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal albums Twitch (1986), The Land of Rape and Honey (1988), and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992), Ministry hit an all-time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination. In total, Ministry has been nominated for a Grammy award six times. Eight more albums would follow before an indefinite break in 2013, only to be unearthed again in 2018 with AmeriKKKant, continuing to reflect Jourgensen’s views on the frightening state of society and politics. Today, Ministry continues touring and recording with the brand-new 15th studio album Moral Hygiene to be released October 1.
