August 24, 2015

HEXVESSEL, the Finnish psychedelic folk rock band has announced their signing with Century Media Records.  Vocalist and guitarist Mat McNerney (also singer in Grave Pleasures) comments: “In many ways the new Hexvessel songs are a new beginning for the band. The time we have invested in this next album has been very carefully spent. So we have become very focused in what we want to do and want to deliver something really special for our fans when it comes to releasing the next record. It’s very important music for us, close to the bone and nestled right up next to our hearts. We were looking for a relationship with our record label to be the same as our bond with each other in the band. It has to be real and it has to be a shared experience! The way we met Jens and the wonderful people at Century Media was at a very special time for us and them, and we felt a unique connection that has grown ever since.

Crank up Relentless from New Years Day and pre-order new album, Malevolence

August 23, 2015

  We can’t wait for October 2nd which is the release date for the third full length studio album from New Years Day. After listening to a couple of the tracks, we are sure this album will be topping the Best Albums of 2015! New Years Day have had quite a year and it is not over yet. They delivered some of the best sets this summer out on Vans Warped Tour and frontwoman Ash Costello hosted the APMAs Red Carpet and has taken an active role as spokesperson for PETA. The new album was produced by Erik Ron (The Word Alive, Motionless In White) and is the band’s first release on Another Century Records. Ash comments about the album, “Malevolence is the most personal album we have ever written to date. More than ever you can really feel the blood and tears in these lyrics. It wasn’t an easy process because it was so emotional but what came from it is honest and real. It’s therapeutic and angry but still shows vulnerability.  Our producer [Read More]

The Dramedy serve up a much needed dose of punk infused rock with their new single

August 23, 2015

The Dramedy is a hard rock punk duo from Los Angeles and their new single, Not The Only One is a must have! Their music blends influences from punk, grunge, rock, garage, alternative and more into their own infectious style. What I really love about their music brings out the raw organic sound that I love and have been missing lately.  It is a much needed dose of punk infused rock, complete with angsty vocals and in your face melody that will invigorate your spirit. I love their style and look forward to catching them perform live. Their Double A Side Single Cassette with Not The Only One and Ring For Two is limited to 200 copies and comes with a exclusive download code for 3 extra live tracks; Rejection Piece, Dead Cool and Lights (Where Do You Go?)
