We have all been there and sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. ‘Struggle’ is about keeping on with the fight as it will be worth it in the end. “Life is sometimes a struggle and this year it has really highlighted that. To me it’s as important today as it was when we wrote it over 15 years ago. I’m so pleased it’s getting the chance to be heard and hopefully people will draw a positive message from it.” It [Read More]

Ska-punk pioneers The Mighty Mighty BossToneS will release their 11th studio album ‘When God Was Great’ on May 7th via Hellcat Records. Co-produced by Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphys) and Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong (Transplants, Jimmy Cliff) ‘When God Was Great’ is the peak of their extensive career. The band brings friends, tour colleagues and band members from the past back for a sonic celebration, which emphasizes the power of perseverance and human connection in turbulent times. The album has 15 tracks that initially rose from a collective feeling of loss. The band states: “Before this madness, we simply wrote songs without any time plan in our heads. Suddenly the world changed and important events in a very long career that we looked forward to, like for example play with the Madness at the Greek Theatre, were taken from us”, frontman Dicky Barrett explains. “With all that time on our hands we started to write with an accelerated tempo and we were truly inspired. As dogged as everything around us was on the [Read More]

Weatherstate release music video for new single ‘Hangar’

February 23, 2021

Weymouth punk band Weatherstate released their massively hooky new single ‘Hangar’ the other week and now the track has a music video with an extraterrestrial theme. “When we had started shaping up the original demo ideas for “Hangar” in the spring of last year, I was bouncing riffs off of our long time video director and pal Ben Pollard” says guitarist Callan Milward. “Whilst we had no initial plans in place for music videos at that time, his initial vibe on the track kept coming back to thoughts about outer space, which ended up snowballing into something much greater. It’s safe to say this is perhaps the start of what’s to come and we can’t wait to drip feed our barmy world into everyone. Thanks to everyone who’s joined the initiative so far”. “Hangar” is the first track the band has released via their new label Rude Records and the riff-fuelled composition is expertly produced by Four Year Strong’s Alan Day. Rising to the challenges that COVID has posed, Weatherstate have been working with Day as a producer remotely and, [Read More]

Cold Years release cover of Lizzo’s “Good As Hell”

January 8, 2021

Scottish rock band Cold Years released the cover of Lizzo’s hit “Good As Hell” today. They were joined by the RR Gospel Choir for this. The track was realized in association with the Scottish Association for Mental Health. The band also releases a limited edition t-shirt. The whole proceeds go to the SAMH. You can pre-order the shirt here -> https://www.eoneheavy.uk/collections/cold-years . “We really wanted to do something for the people that struggle a lot at the moment. This pandemic has influenced various perceptions of itself and the surroundings in a negative way. So many people already fought with mental problems before COVID even started. This song fights against everything that puts you down. Many people have lost a lot over the last few months and this song is about getting back up again and gather new courage. We had the feeling, that it is really important to shape the awareness for the great work the SAMH does, not only through the pandemic, but already since 1923, when it helped Scotland to survive the difficult times.” [Read More]

Neck Deep release new song+video ‘I Revolve (Around You)’

July 19, 2020

Neck Deep has released their latest single “I Revolve (Around You)” a few days ago, accompanied by a cosmic, out-of-this world music video created by Félix Kerjean and the team at Remembers (http://remembers.fr). “’I Revolve (Around You)’ is a song about love on a planetary scale” shares frontman Ben Barlow of the single; “It is one big metaphor, comparing love to the movement of the planets. Picturing love on that scale really makes everything else seem small and insignificant. The song comes at a point of epiphany on the record- the realization that despite life’s trials and tribulations, love conquers all”. “Musically it’s hard hitting and impactful, and actually features one of my favorite ever sections in a Neck Deep song where I got to channel my inner Tom DeLonge, which for a song about space I feel is pretty fitting! It’s the first time we’ve done a full animated video and we’re so stoked on how it came out, the amazing team at Remembers in France did a beautiful job embodying the feeling of the lyrics”. “I Revolve (Around You)” joins recent singles “Fall“, “When You Know“ and “Lowlife“ from the [Read More]
