October 20, 2020

Waterparks announced their first live album and concert film “FANDOM: LIVE IN THE UK” and released the live video for “Turbulent” off of the upcoming live album. Check out the video here: CD + Blu-Ray DVD bundles can be pre-ordered at https://www.hopelessrecords.eu/hlrde/waterparks.html. “FANDOM: LIVE IN THE UK” was recorded and filmed in January 2020 at O2 Academy in Birmingham, UK at a sold-out show on the FANDOM Tour. Executive producers Awsten Knight and Jawn Rocha utilized practical and special effects to create an other-worldly experience that is both exhilaratingly euphoric and inimitably intimate. Frontman Awsten Knight shares: “I’ve always wanted Waterparks to have a live concert DVD because I used to love watching them from other bands so much. The thing is, I wanted to approach it differently and try to make it into more of an art piece rather than strictly documentation of a night. As a co-director, I wanted it to be like an IMAXWaterparks show but in an alternate universe and so every song is warped out and stylized to look how it feels to me [Read More]

The Amity Affliction share two new tracks

October 20, 2020

The Amity Affliction released two b-sides from their latest record ‘Everyone Loves You….Once You Leave Them’ today. Check out ‘Midnight Train’ and ‘Don’t Wade In The Water’ Joel Birch on the new songs: “‘Midnight Train’ came about from Ahren just singing ‘midnight train’ in amongst some other garbage when he did the scratch track for me to get an idea of how he wanted to sing the chorus. We wrote the entire song around those two words, which wasn’t actually hard because there was some context to it. It follows an arc of my relationship with my wife, ending where we are today. We’ve known each other for 25 years and the song covers some key moments for both of us. ‘Don’t Wade in the Water,’ it’s a song about my mother and father and the role the church had in separating them, and then the role that the church and religion played in my later life. Obviously, it is a play on the old hymn sung by Ella Jenkins, which is a beautiful, beautiful [Read More]

Five Finger Death Punch confirm lineup changes

October 13, 2020

Las Vegas NV, October 13, 2020 – Amidst the recent release of their greatest hits compilation, Decade of Destruction, Volume 2, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH confirms it parted ways with guitarist JASON HOOK back in February 2020, during the band’s sold out European arena tour. After his recovery from emergency gallbladder surgery at the end of last year, JASON HOOK had to leave midway from the band’s tour of Europe to address further complications. “I have had the pleasure of meeting so many of you in person. Thank you for the endless stories of how our music has touched your heart in some way! But the best part of being on tour the last 12 years, by far, has been playing my guitar and seeing the joy on your faces every night. I will miss that more than anything. As far the reason I’m leaving…well, there really isn’t just one. I’ve been in bands my entire life and I feel like I’ve done all the good that I can here. It’s time to pass the baton and move on to new challenges” – Says Jason [Read More]

New Yorkers Life In A Blender will be releasing a six song EP, Satsuma, on November 20th as a deluxe CD package and digital download through Fang Records. The EP was produced at guitarist Al Houghton’s Dubway Studio in New York City. The EP will be brimming with the band’s singular, signature brand of punky, brainy indie pop. About the EP The physical edition of the album is a limited-edition book and CD, featuring original art and cocktail recipes from a variety of artists and mixologists, inspired by each song. “We wanted to give people an extra reason to spring for the physical package,” says lead vocalist and co-founder Don Rauf, “and an extra reason to drink.” Another aspect of Satsuma that makes it different from the other titles in Life In A Blender’s deep catalog is that most of its songs have their seeds in stories written by others. The majority of the tunes sprang from the Bushwick Book Club, a salon series Rauf participated in that sees songwriters composing and performing songs based on [Read More]
