The visual of smoking cigarettes in bed is a glimpse into a time when being together helped us cope with our loneliness. It was produced by Jordan Miller and Jason Bell. We all took a trip to Hawaii and wrote and recorded the song while we were there. Their touch transformed a simple melody into a dynamic song with tasteful lyrics. It was truly a pleasure working with them!” Check out the video here: The catchy new track has us delving deeper into his EP as we are immediately captivated by his nostalgic yet modern melding of grunge, alternative and punk rock.

January 18, 2024

Midas Fall have shared the 2nd single from their long-awaited fifth studio album, ‘Cold Waves Divide Us’ which is set for release on 8th March 2024 via Monotreme Records. “Monsters” is the second single from “Cold Waves Divide Us”, the fifth studio album from Scottish alt/post/progressive-rock trio Midas Fall. On “Monsters”, the band shows a more contemplative side, with an ethereal intro giving way to gorgeously syncopated guitar and drums. Says Elizabeth Heaton, The monsters I sing about in this song are the intrusive, anxiety ridden thoughts that decide to rear their ugly heads from time to time, especially when you least expect it, just to remind you that you never truly have full control. There is a feeling of defeat and submission in this song, juxtaposed with the idea that the act of writing the words and music itself can be the resolution” The single is accompanied by a video from producer David Gregory of Cineoteric Films, featuring the band members. Describing the approach he took to the video, David recounts, “Liz explained to [Read More]

Neck Deep release self-titled record this week

January 18, 2024

In September 2023 UK-rock band Neck Deep have announced their upcoming self-titled album “Neck Deep”, set for release on January 19, 2024, via Hopeless Records. “We’re so stoked to announce our new self made, self titled record” shares vocalist Ben Barlow. “With a return to roots approach, we made this record ourselves at our warehouse in North Wales, with Seb at the helm, and the rest of us over his shoulder, like it was at the start”. The new album encompasses everything Neck Deep have excelled at across their career, enhanced and dialed to eleven. From the bouncing bombast of “Dumbstruck, Dumbf**k” and the ripping intensity of “Sort Yourself Out”, to the poetic introspection of “They Don’t Mean To (But They Do)”, it’s an album that boasts a song for almost any occasion (including, in recent single “Take Me With You”, the impending alien invasion). In the little over a decade since Neck Deep formed in the Barlow brothers’ spare room in Wrexham, Wales, a lot has changed. From the scrappy, naively hopeful beginnings that [Read More]
