Silverstein announce European/UK tour dates

June 20, 2022

Not many bands, turning their 22nd round in the scene, can say about themselves that they “have just started”, like punk veterans Silverstein. The release of their 10th studio record “Misery Made Me”, starts a new high, which is based on their success over the last year: Their last record (2020’s A Beautiful Place To Drown) added the band 80 million streams to 500 million plays in all on their account. The long-player was nominated as “rock album of the year” at the esteemed Juno awards and their last headline tour through the coolest venues was almost completely sold out. With the birth of “Misery Made Me” Silverstein increased their already extensive influence: Through the adaption of new technologies like TikTok, Discord, NFTs, the metaverse, and Twitch (which the band even used for public writing sessions with the fans) the band has proven their unique ability to adapt innovations at all stages of their career. Interestingly there are – as the title suggests – in all the positivity and unity, that went into the creation [Read More]

Belmont announce new album and share video for new song “Parasitic”

January 24, 2022

Chicago, IL- Progressive-punk quartet, Belmont, have announced their new album Aftermath, which is out March 4th, 2022 via Pure Noise Records. First single “Parasitic” serves as a darker and heavier take on Belmont’s boisterous sound. 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, Aftermathbrings 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 energy that’s won Belmont legions fans on tours. The opening strains of album kick-off “Fully Sent” – trilling trap drums buoyed by a distorted vocal sample – will leave listeners wondering if they in fact chose [Read More]

Weatherstate release music video for “Headstone”

January 20, 2022

Weymouth punk band Weatherstate have today shared a brand new music video for their latest single “Headstone”. It’s a contemplative punk track and marks the latest from Weatherstate’s forthcoming album “Never Better”, set to be released 11th February 2022 via Rude Records. “Probably the second softest song on the record, and not being as morbid as the name might suggest, ‘Headstone’ is about trying to make something out of ourselves in the time we have here”, the band share. “It’s okay to go through periods of life unhappy and that’s what makes the good bits all the better. ‘Catch me I don’t want to come down’ specifically relates to friends being around when you need a safety net, and how important it is to have the support network that can get you through those monotonous times. We’re only around here for so long, and that’s the way it is, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up too much, and it’s completely okay to sometimes just roll with the punches”. Weatherstate have risen to the challenges that COVID [Read More]

Booze & Glory share new song/video for “Raising The Roof”

January 17, 2022

Booze & Glory start the year 2022 with a bang and release with “Raising The Roof” a brand-new single and video. The new song revives the “As Bold As Brass”- era – sweeping Old-School-Streetpunk with lots of high spirits, which we really need in those crazy days. Booze & Glory were founded in London in 2009. In the beginning, they were a direct homage to the Streetpunk and Oi!-Bands of the British scene from the late 70’s and 80’s. Thanks to the rousing songwriting, which for a long time came from the streets of the British capital, and heroic and ruthless dedication to live shows, the band was by and by admitted by a colossal international fanbase and the video for their debut was streamed on YouTube over 24 million times. Tours in Asia, South America, the USA and pretty much everywhere, where they were wanted, ensured that Booze & Glory’s records “As Bold As Brass” or “Chapter IV” became an indispensable listening experience for fans of tough and snotty Rock n’ Roll. Between 2017 [Read More]

Weatherstate release new single ‘Headstone’

January 10, 2022

As Weatherstate approach the release of their second album ‘Never Better’, which will be out 11 February via Rude Records, the Weymouth punk band has revealed another new track from it ‘Headstone’. Showcasing a slower, more contemplative side to Weatherstate, building to that anthemic, singalong chorus complete with signature Weatherstate riffage, it’s a track about fulfilling your potential. “Headstone is about trying to make something out of ourselves in the time we have here,” says guitarist Callan Milward. “It’s okay to go through periods of life unhappy and that’s what makes the good bits all the better. The lyric “Catch me I don’t want to come down” specifically relates to friends being around when you need a safety net and how important it is to have a support network that can get you through those monotonous times. We’re only around for so long, and that’s the way it is, we shouldn’t beat ourselves up too much, and it’s completely okay to sometimes just roll with the punches.” Never Better’ is the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Born [Read More]
