Byron and I had a demo of ‘One Voice’ laying around for couple years, and I thought it would be cool to bring a couple old friends on board to breath some new life into it,”explains Fletcher Dragge. “Watching these guys lay down their own personal trademark styles on this song was nothing short of amazing! I think it’s safe to safe we’re all pretty fucking stoked on the final product, and being able to donate proceeds to Musack feels pretty awesome as well.

Kat von D announces debut album “Love Made Me Do It”

May 15, 2021

Gifted multi-hyphenate Kat Von D is beginning an electrifying new chapter in her career with the release of her debut single and video for “Exorcism”. “Exorcism” marks the first track from her forthcoming debut album, “Love Made Me Do It”, due August 27th. Both a sonic and songwriting leap for Kat, “Exorcism” takes the listener on a reflective journey through the cycles of love and loss, rebirths and passings, the feelings of vulnerability and hardships a woman faces as she makes her way through challenges in her life. A cinematic and symphonic slow burn, the emotional track evokes wonder, tranquility, joy, pain and ultimately, hope. “I wrote ‘Exorcism’ after having had binged on every exorcist movie that ever existed”, said Kat. “I loved the idea of tying the act of being possessed by something outside your control to what love can sometimes feel like; losing yourself in someone else, and sometimes it leaving you black and blue”. “Love Made Me Do It” sits at the core of Kat’s universe, proving that music is her first [Read More]

Clowns release brand-new song “Does It Matter ?”

May 15, 2021

2020 was going to be a colossal year for Clowns. The Melbourne, Australian five-piece was locked into worldwide touring to support their 2019 full-length, and Fat Wreck debut, Nature/Nurture. The album included 11 blistering songs that veered from frantic punk to slower, more nuanced, and psychedelic-tinged rock. However, before the band could really roll out their epic touring plans, that nettlesome global pandemic hit, and the world was shut down. Luckily, Clowns are not one to rest on their laurels and harnessed their solitude to write music. The pause on being an active band allowed the group to record a batch of new songs, with two standing out as their favorites. Today you’ll get your first dose of quarantine-blues curing melody, in the form of the single “Does It Matter?” Singer Stevie Williams comments on “Does It Matter?”: “We wanted to write the best Clowns song that has ever existed – it’s punky, it’s ‘garagy’, there are a few screams and there are a few big singalongs. It has a crashing guitar solo and it’s [Read More]
