Catch VERIDIA out on tour with Evanescence and watch their new video for Still Breathing

October 31, 2016

Alt-rockers VERIDIA have just released a new video for their track, Still Breathing. The video was directed by Matt DeLisi, the director behind their previous video for “Pretty Lies” and filmed at a haunted house located in the band’s hometown of Nashville. “Still Breathing” shares the important message of dealing with fear, something frontwoman Deena Jakoub’s deals with on personal level and is portrayed in the music video. “I don’t write because I have all the answers or because I want everyone to think I’m in this really good place,” says Jakoub. “In fact, I am struggling, I am still healing, I am human. ‘Still Breathing’ was written to say, I feel you, we’re all struggling through something, and though there are some things we may solely have to endure on our own, we don’t have to process it alone. This song was birthed out of fear and grew into an anthem of strength and conquering for me.

Check out the new EP Nerves from Toronto punk rockers, The Flatliners

October 31, 2016

Being that it is a Monday, I wanted to give you some great new music to help get you through the week. How about the new EP, Nerves, from Toronto punk rockers, The Flatliners. They have just released  a new EP/7” vinyl called Nerves this past Friday, on Dine Alone Records. Check out the EP:   Vocalist/Guitarist Chris Cresswell comments, “For the first time in about a decade, we spent the majority of the year off the road and at home in 2015. Even though to most it must have seemed like we were laying low for most of the year, 2015 became a year of constant inspiration and ever evolving scenery and surroundings. There was a refreshing, cooling feeling that came over the task at hand and the craft we’ve honed. And with ‘Nerves’ we invite you to dip your toes in the deep end of the pool.” Check out their upcoming tour dates below and visit their social media sites: Nov 16 – Cleveland, OH – Agora Ballroom (w/Bouncing Souls) Nov 17 – [Read More]

I came up with the concept to compliment the music, and Matt took my ideas, ran with them, and made it all happen with ease.” Weitzel adds, “The album Dawn [Read More]
