Buster Shuffle share new single “Masterplan”

March 16, 2025

London quartet Buster Shuffle shared their latest single “Masterplan” of the band’s highly anticipated album “Together”, which will be released on March 28th via Do Nothing/Cargo. From the first note, “Masterplan” kicks in with that signature Buster Shuffle bounce – piano leading the charge, a rhythm section that refuses to sit still, and Jet Baker‘s unmistakable vocal delivery, half a grin, half a challenge. It‘s ska with swagger, a nod to pub singalongs and backroom shenanigans, where everyone‘s in on the joke, and no one‘s sitting down. “Our fans, the Shuffly Army, are everything to us and supported us from day one. We also wanted to write an album, where we could get together and sing our hearts out. We’re stoked to present this song to them and also a new album.”, Jet says. The record will include some surprises. A sonic treat was when Jet and the boys managed to get a 2000 strong crowd to sing the hook for the track ‘Take a Pill’, a song about sticking together and navigating through a [Read More]

The Rumjacks live in Munich at the Backstage with special guests Grade 2

March 6, 2025

This week we were in for a special treat – The Rumjacks were back in Munich, this time with Grade 2. Let me tell you, both bands absolutely tore the place down. Judging by the people’s shirts and the amount of people who knew the words of the songs, Grade 2 already have a solid fanbase in Munich and they were the perfect addition to The Rumjacks. Grade 2 released their latest, self-titled album, two years ago. Recently the band teased, that it’s about time they released a new album. That night the band shared a brand-new song, “Hangin’ on to you”, which is quite the banger.

Punk Rockers Heart Attack Man release new track Spit

February 20, 2025

Rising Punk rockers Heart Attack Man kicked off my day with release of their new track, Spit. The song delivers a great one-two punch as frontman Eric shares, “This song is a go-for-the-throat, tongue in cheek lashing out against the use of generative artificial intelligence in the creative process, as I think it signals the death of ones own inherent creativity.” It is a killer track that will get you pumping and tap into that rage we all hold! The Cleveland Ohio trio, Eric Egan [vocals, guitar], Adam Paduch [drums], and Ty Sickels [guitar] are set to release their fourth full length LP, Joyride the Pale Horse on April 25th which will include this new song.

Alkaline Trio share new video for “Break” – new album out NOW!

January 27, 2024

The legendary Alkaline Trio shared another new video yesterday for the single “Break”, just in time for the release of their new record “Blood, Hair And Eyeballs“, which was finally released yesterday via Rise Records. In the course of last week the band around singer Matt Skiba presented their latest single “Bad Time” live at Jimmy Kimmel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0hQLVroxWo “Blood, Hair And Eyeballs” was recorded and produced by Grammy-award-winning producer Cameron Webb at Studio 606 in Northridge, California. It presents Alkaline Trio, which reduced their sound to the skin and bone of their distinctive sonic spirit and brought this dark essence into so far unknown territory. “Blood, Hair And Eyeballs” is not only a dark glowing example of the characteristic mix of ironic-lyrical wit and the bittersweet melodic sensibility of the trio, but also the confluence of endings and beginnings – it’s the first album the band released via the new label Rise Records, but also the last, where long-time band member Derek Grant can be heard, who was part of the band since their classic [Read More]

Alkaline Trio share new single “Versions Of You”

January 5, 2024

Just three weeks to go until Alkaline Trio will release their long-awaited album “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs” on January 26th via Rise Records. Today the band shared another new single “Versions Of You”. Dan Andriano on the new song: “It’s a song about sorting through the rubble of a broken friendship and realizing there’s just nothing there to try and rebuild… that maybe the whole thing was artificial and driven by self-serving motives.” “From the start there was something really exciting about this one, a raw energy we didn’t want to let go. I was playing guitar and showing a part to Cameron, Matt grabbed a bass and created this killer disjointed groove under what became the verse. “It felt raw and ferocious, and we knew that’s what we had to capture, so that’s how we did it when the red light came on.” “Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs” can be pre-ordered HERE.
