Delaire The Liar release new track and video for “No Thanks”

October 25, 2021

The majestic Delaire The Liar have released a brilliant, brand new single and video ‘No Thanks’ via their new home at Rude Records. This is the follow-up to recent singles ‘Furnace‘ and ‘Halloween‘, both out in the last 5 months. Speaking about the new song the band said: “There’s a conflict of interest when it comes to offering help to the people you love. It can be distracting: it can bring assurance that you are still of value to the relationships you care so much about; that you can still contribute positively irrespective of your own wellbeing. It can be dangerous: it can be frightening to know that the people you love will put everything they have on the line for you despite themselves; for you to get better and still they expect no thanks”. Music, at its best, opens the door to an honesty that borders on disconcerting. For London four-piece Delaire The Liar, expressing a central truth is at the very core of all they create. Utilizing a weaponized punk rock attitude that [Read More]

Void Of Vision release new EP this Friday

October 20, 2021

Since their burst onto the scene nearly eight years ago, Australian metal favorites Void Of Vision have used their platform as a projection of anger, apathy, darkness, and despair. Whether a faithful fan or peripheral onlooker, the band’s previous recorded, visual and live performance elements made their bleak sentiments clear for anyone to see. “CHRONICLES I: LUST” – the group’s newly announced EP due to drop this Friday – smashes this perception. On a granular level “LUST” discusses topics including mental health and music (heard on recent single “THE LONELY PEOPLE”), confronting relationship breakdowns (“GOTHIKA”), and a culture of predatory and abusive men in the music industry as discussed on today’s single “VAMPYR”. The EP’s visuals – intentionally stark, true-tone black and white – speak to the personal grappling and growth vocalist Jack Bergin experienced during its writing, symbolizing the “seeing it for what it is”, plain in black and white, reality that he encountered. Speaking more in-depth about the release of “VAMPYR”, Jack shares that it reflects on a collective process of disappointment turned [Read More]

5 Musicians Who Rock the Poker Tables

October 20, 2021

Themes of luck, fortune, and misfortune are constant throughout rock music, and it’s no surprise that many of music’s most iconic acts – from Aerosmith and AC/DC to Motörhead and The Clash – have all touched on gambling as a source of inspiration for their lyrics. However, while their tales of risking it all might seem like a pure invention, there may be more here than first meets the eye. Here are five notable rock musicians who have earned notoriety for rolling the dice. Slash Arguably one of the most famous rock guitarists of all time, Slash found his fame as lead shredder for classic rock all-stars Guns N’ Roses. A wild ride filled with drugs and debauchery, Guns N’ Roses never strayed too far from controversy. Despite high-profile bust-ups along the way, they earned their rightful place in the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. They buried the hatchet to headline Coachella Festival and continue to tour internationally to this day. When he’s not lighting up stages, Slash spends much of his spare time indulging [Read More]

October 18, 2021

Don Broco have released their new single “Endorphins” alongside a brand new video. The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming new album “Amazing Things”, which will be digitally released on October 22nd via Sharptone Records. “Endorphins” is an unmistakable slice of Don Broco’s power, delivering yet another pulsating and infectious anthem. Overflowing with monstrous riffs, jagged synths, pummeling drums, and a towering irresistible chorus, the track sees them blend their light and dark sides together. The video is another brilliant addition to Don Broco’s catalog of supremely inventive, creative, and funny short films, with the band posing as shape-shifting superheroes battling masked villains in a martial arts, laser-gun battle for supremacy… along with some awesome performance footage of them blasting out the track. “Power Rangers was without doubt my favourite show when I was a kid”, vocalist Rob Damiani shared. “When my parents actually went through with a long threatened punishment of taking away the TV (I think because me and my brothers were fighting too much), it was the one [Read More]
