Belmont share new video for “Country Girl” – new album “Aftermath” out NOW

March 5, 2022

Progressive-punk quartet, Belmont, yesterday released their new album “Aftermath” via Pure Noise Records and video for single “Country Girl”. “Country Girl is the culmination of the band’s desire to do absolutely anything, regardless of any boundaries. Utilizing a mix of country, hip hop, metal, and pop punk, this song shows the fun and lighthearted side of the band that contrasts the darker theme of the Aftermath LP” says the band. “Aftermath”, the band’s Pure Noise Records debut album, produced by the billion-streamed Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, Neck Deep, Real Friends), is driving a chasm between Belmont and their peers with a stunning evolution. Led by the classical training of Inguagiato and Lada, both of whom studied at Berklee College of Music, as well as the pure instinctual prowess of the collective, “Aftermath” brings never-before-heard influences to the forefront in a brand-new way. In a landscape more genre-less than ever, it’s the seamless, at-times effortless blending of disparate sounds that guides “Aftermath” on a hyper-modern tour through musical styles – steadied by the pop-punk [Read More]

March 5, 2022

Superlove have released another new track, “World Of Wonder” from their debut album ‘Colours’ set for release 1st April 2022 via Rude Records, co-produced by the band themselves. Speaking about the new song the band said: “The song is all about getting out and clearing your head with a big ol’ walk. We wanted a really hopeful and uplifting sounding track, something that would inspire people to take time out of their day to do something for themselves as we had found that getting outside with headphones on and listening to your favourite music was really refreshing for your mind. A big theme for the album was nature and the escaping feeling it can give you, this track really leans into that the most. We’re so excited for this album as we really feel like people are starting to see what sort of sounds our band can delve into. A full LP has given us a bit more freedom than an EP to have a play with our songwriting, that for us is really important [Read More]

The song will be on their upcoming album “F.E.A.R.” – out May 6th, 2022 via Hopeless Records. “hair out” is an infectious pop banger that uses elements of hyper pop, pop-punk, and alternative to talk about the worst part of the internet. Singer, Bonnie Fraser, shares: “The worst part about people on the internet is that you’re almost force-fed their opinion about you or what you do”. The expectations and pressure from everyone about “following up Pink Elephant and doing something good” ate away at her, to the point where “it almost feels impossible to feel like you can step up and meet expectations of anyone, let alone yourself”. Being home and isolated during the pandemic, Bonnie shares her frustration: “I just got absolutely fed up with ALL of it and it brought me to a ‘table flip’ attitude where I just wanted to make something for myself”. The ensuing music video was also [Read More]

March 2, 2022

Los Angeles-based punk band The Linda Lindas presented the video for their new song “Talking To Myself” from their highly anticipated debut record “Growing Up”. The black and white music video was created by producer Ryan Baxley and is a playful homage to the classic Twilight Zone-episode “Living Doll”. Lucia de la Garza from the band says about the song: “The song is about the spiral you get into, when you are alone. You start to question yourself and every decision you have made. I always look back on conversations and think: “Oh, I should have said this , I should have said that.” But it’s also about needing other people, not only to quiet down, but because we all learned from the pandemic, that we need other people to talk to, to keep sane.” Last month The Linda Lindas announced their debut album with a video produced by Humberto Leon for the title track “Growing Up“, which Rolling Stone praised as “catchy and danceable” and said “you can imagine, how teenagers shout it out [Read More]

Bearings release new single “Shake Your Mind”

March 2, 2022

Ontario, Canada – Bearings have released new single ‘Shake Your Mind’ which is out now via Pure Noise Records. The track is an instant hook-laden fast-paced alt-rock track that will get under your skin immediately. Speaking on the new single the band said “We went up to our drummer’s family’s cottage to have a place to be away from the noise and focus in on creating a single we’re all proud of. We wrote the track in the start of January mid-snowstorm surrounded by Ontario’s beautiful Georgian Bay. We wanted to make something that crossed our 90’s British rock type influences with our current modern punk rock influences that made us fall in love this type of music in the first place. We figured we had enough slow songs, so we figured why not write this one.’” Bearings will start out on their tour through North America tomorrow. Get your tickets HERE.
