Recently, Moon Fever released the rollicking single “Feels So Good,” available on all DPS’s at the link here: https://vyd.co/MoonFeverFeelsSoGood. “Feels So Good” starts with a bombastic drum fill before careening into a full band explosion, as Triston Bracht [vocals], Mitch Micoley [guitar], Dave Orton [bass], and Troy Wageman [drums] show why they are one of Seattle’s leanest and meanest quartets. The music video can be watched below: Last year, Moon Fever dropped the high-octane track “Getting Loud,” storming in to the Top 30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.

Normandie release new record “Dopamine Clinic” this Friday

February 7, 2024

Stockholm trio, Normandie, announced their new album ‘Dopamine’ last September. Now the wait is over, the record will finally be released this Friday, February 9th 2024 via Easy Life Records. Set in a not-too-distant and – crucially – not-at-all-unrealistic future, Normandie’s fourth album, ‘Dopamine’, finds the band asking two unsettling questions: what if we pushed our brains and bodies far beyond their limits? And what if we already are? On their follow-up to 2021’s ‘Dark & Beautiful Secrets’, Philip, Håkan (Almbladh – guitar) and Anton (Franzon – drums) tackle the overstimulation of modern life head-on, and answer some hefty questions with some even bigger songs to produce a devastating, clinical example of everything a modern rock band should be. “The whole album is about the chase for different highs and natural chemicals: oxytocin, serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline…” starts Philip. “What if dopamine had to be clinically provided because we’ve burned through our receptors?” “Making this album futuristic and dystopian came very naturally when we started discussing the current state of the world. We’re all on [Read More]

Bury Tomorrow, We Came As Romans, Kingdom Of Giants live in Munich

February 3, 2024

“Last time there were just a few crowd surfers,” they said. “This shouldn’t be too stressful,” they said. Didn’t take long until everyone realized, it wouldn’t be chill at all. Actually, the fans and the bands kept security pretty busy. Cudos to security, they did an amazing job of catching everyone and seeing them safely out of the pit. Kingdom Of Giants had an almost full house to start the night. They did a good job of getting the crowd ready for the following bands. So performance-wise they were great, but the sound was awful. Somehow the sound guy didn’t really find the right balance especially when it came to bass. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good bass, but this was just too much. Sometimes it was quite hard to get which song the band just played, cuz every time the bass hit, everything started tingling and it sounded like mash. Thankfully the sound got better when We Came As Romans hit the stage. They started their set with the title track of [Read More]

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. “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 record [Read More]
