Petrol Girls announce new album “Baby”

March 31, 2022

Petrol Girls announced their third album “Baby” today, which will be released June 24th via Hassle Records (Cargo). The announcement follows the release of their pro-choice-banger “Baby, I Had An Abortion” and the single “Fight For Our Lives” (only available on Bandcamp), a track that honors the global movement against femicide and gender-specific violence. Both tracks will be on the upcoming record. Another taste of “Baby” is the new single “Clowns”. It comes with a live video that the band recorded in the Middle Farm studios (filmed by Martyna Bannister), where the album was recorded with producer Pete Miles. Singer Ren Aldrige about the song: “”Clowns” really shows the mood and the musical orientation of the majority of the album. The song is playful, a little bit weird and is built on a recurring riff. It was so much fun to write the track together. “Clowns” began with a lot of comedic placeholders, which allude to “Stuck In the Middle With You” from Stealer Wheel (“We are the clowns from the left/ But they ain’t [Read More]

We compare the cursed existence of reptiles in a cage with our own life. We never see the sun and long for freedom. But we never think outside the box, because the desires of the flesh can sedate everyone and keep them from growing. 8 billion personal cages. What locks you up?” The new EP “Lowest form Of Animal” will be released April 1st via Rise Records. You can pre-order it HERE. “LOWEST FORM OF ANIMAL” EP | TRACKLISTING: “Swan Song” (Feat.

Koyo release new single “Straight North”

March 30, 2022

Long Island, NY supergroup Koyo has released another new track, “Straight North” on Pure Noise records. “Like a lot of the bands Koyo is inspired by, I feel we exist on a bit of a spectrum sonically. Some songs are more high-energy and inspired by hardcore, others are more nuanced and ballad-like. Straight North exists more on the ballad side of the spectrum. ‘Straight North’ is a sister song of sorts to a track on our first EP called ‘Heaven So Heavy’. This song was written before any of the previous material. It’d been in the chamber for almost two years before we actually decided to record it as a single. Although it’s about a now very distant time in my life, I feel there’s potentially something tangible and meaningful there for people who may have felt or feel a similar way. I hope people can relate” says singer Joey Chiaramonte. There’s a lot of musical history on Long Island, especially when it comes to hardcore and punk. It was that heritage that the six [Read More]
