Brody Dalle solo album Diploid Love OUT NOW and she starts tour tonight at Slim’s

May 21, 2014

Brody Dalle‘s Debut Solo release, Diploid Love is available now on CD and Vinyl. This solo album is a deeply personal album as it takes the listener on a journey about life, creating it, living it and surviving it. Brody spent a year writing, playing, recording and co-producing her first solo album, a riotous blast of punk rock with a pop sheen that storms through ideas about the modern age, triumphing against the odds and even spirituality. The ex-Distillers front woman co-produced the album with Alain Johannes (Arctic Monkeys, Them Crooked Vultures, Mark Lanegan) at his studio, and at her and husband Josh Homme’s studio Pink Duck, both in California. “I’ve always had a hand in crafting how it’s going to sound and hearing it and trying to make that happen. But it’s the first time I’ve put my name on something for production,” she says of the release.  Brody wrote all the songs and played almost all the instruments you can hear on the album herself, with a few incredible guests that included Shirley Manson [Read More]

Tim Bownessis set to release his forthcoming second solo album ‘Abandoned Dancehall Dreams’ on the 23rd June 2014 in Europe and 8th July 2014 in US, and the first taste of music is finally here. Featuring a powerhouse drumming performance from King Crimson’s Pat Mastelotto, a string arrangement from Classical composer Andrew Keeling and a stunning guitar solo courtesy of Michael Bearpark, The Warm-Up Man Forever is the lead-off track from Tim Bowness’s ambitious Inside Out Music debut and you can check it out here:   Tim says: “The Warm-Up Man Forever started out as a demo I’d written for No-Man. With the benefit of three decades of technology and life experience, it was a song that contained aspects of the music that inspired me when I first started playing in bands (in that far off universe, the early 1980s!). Although I hope I did something fresh and different with the source inspirations, I had things like Peter Gabriel’s 3, Kate Bush’s Hounds Of Love, The Icicle Works and The Michael Nyman Band in mind when I [Read More]

Interview with Austin Winkler and he is back, stronger than ever!

May 15, 2014

  “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson   When I think of the above quote, my favorite quote, it always reminds me of how strong you have to be to when you are faced with creating your own path or destiny. It inspires me when I see people make that great leap of faith and head off into that new path and become an even stronger person. I believe a great example in this is watching Austin Winkler as he has forged ahead in the new chapter of his musical career.  It was last year that we brought you the news of Austin‘s departure from Hinder, but then to hear how he was going to continue with a new musical venture, I was truly elated. Austin has one of the most recognizable and beloved voices in the industry and I couldn’t wait to hear what he has in store for us. He invited us in to witness the [Read More]
