Messa release new song “Rubedo” – new record will be out in March

February 19, 2022

Messa released their third single ” Rubedo” from their new album “Close” which will be released on March 11th via Svart Records. “”Rubedo” is the song from “Close” that was most influenced by flamenco music. It’s a piece that relates to both our previous work and the travel dimension of our new album. The text is about dealing with the feeling of guilt. Sometimes we hurt the ones we love without realizing it and suddenly we realize our mistakes and want to heal the person we hurt. Rubedo is Latin and can be translated as “red”. It symbolizes the reunion of opposites and the manifestation of the self in its entirety. The color red has always been associated with hot blood and sacrifice”, the band comments.”   Suspended Dark Horse Orphalese Rubedo Hollow Pilgrim 0-2 If You Want Her To Be Taken Leffotrak Serving Him     “Close” can be pre-ordered HERE.

February 19, 2022

Put down your morning coffee, New-Delhi arena metallers Bloodywood are about to kick so hard they fire you into the weekend. To celebrate the release of their debut album “Rakshak” (out now!), the band is elated to present the music video for their heaviest song ever, “Dana Dan”. “Dana Dan” begins with the thudding of the South Indian “Nagada” drums before the razor-sharp rapping of Raoul Kerr comes in then gives way to the ferociousness of vocalist Jayant Bhadula. Here the entire band is firing on 11 to produce their most sonically thrilling track yet. There are going to be some crazy pits when the band plays this one live… Speaking about the new single, Bloodywood say: “‘Dana Dan’ is a graphic commentary on sexual assault and the need to eliminate it. It begins with the reflexive, almost homicidal rage we feel when we hear about these crimes, before moving on to a more level headed call to arms. It culminates in a gentle appeal for all of us to reflect on the role we [Read More]

Waxflower kick off 2022 with new single “Ring”

February 17, 2022

Having demonstrated their sonic versatility with late-2021 single ‘Soak’, Brisbane’s Waxflower are today thrilled to continue their journey into a new era with their brand new track ‘Ring’. With ‘Soak’ debuting a darker, heavier direction for the pop-punk quartet, ‘Ring’ arrives as its brighter, pop-laden sibling, still embracing electronic elements while delivering nostalgic sounds of 2000s pop and a soaring, hook-driven chorus. Waxflower frontman Tristan Higginson reveals that the new single “is a self-affirmation. A reminder to myself that it’s worth fighting odds, industry and enemies to keep my creative passion alive. I almost gave up on music before Waxflower. Questioning my ability at the backend of a decade of failed projects and crumbling under the weight of panic disorder, I recorded a demo as a last ditch effort to get something started. A year and a half later I was playing with my heroes, beginning to do the things I’d always dreamed. It’s me trying to calm the insecurities that keep me from putting myself on the line creatively. Don’t let your insecurities get [Read More]

February 15, 2022

London rock band, PUPPY, have released the official music video for their new song “…And Watched It Glow”. The song is taken from the band’s upcoming new album “Pure Evil”, which will be released on May 6th through Rude Records. The song had its world premiere on Radio 1 with the Rock Show and is the third single to be released from the new album, following “Angel” and “The Kiss”, the latter picking up plays with Radio 1’s Jack Saunders and Clara Amfo, as well as being listed by Revolver Magazine as a track of the week. “Pure Evil” is an album created, like so much music and art the last few years, from a forced upon circumstance. Whilst obviously not influencing any of it in any way, the current pandemic has certainly created a specific path for PUPPY and this brilliant album, for good and bad. Vocalist and guitarist Jock Norton explains a bit about marrying creative drive with a global health meltdown, “We had to dig fairly deep to find the purpose in [Read More]

Real Friends release new song “Tell Me You’re Sorry”

February 15, 2022

Illinois-based band Real Friends have released a new song, ‘Tell Me You’re Sorry’, which is out now via Pure Noise Records. Speaking about the new song the band said ‘We all have loved ones in our lives that have hurt us. Sometimes those people just keep living their lives as if they never even hurt us. They think since the situation has blown over that there’s no need for an apology. But at the end of the day, we all need that closure of a proper apology for those wounds to heal. “Tell Me You’re Sorry” explores the struggles of not being able to heal without hearing the simple words “I’m Sorry” from the person that wronged you. This is a very personal song for a few of us in the band. It is rooted from numerous strained relationships in our lives. We hope our fans will hear this song and connect with it. If the words and energy of this song can help one listener feel less alone, then we accomplished what we wanted [Read More]
