November 26, 2021

The majestic Delair The Liar have announced brand new EP ‘Eat Your Own’, which will be released 10th December via Rude Records. This wonderful band has also released their new single ‘No Accident’ which is taken off the upcoming EP. The single follows on from singles ‘No Thanks’, ‘Furnace’ and ‘Halloween’ which are all included on the upcoming EP. Speaking about the new single, vocalist Ffin Colley says – “There are some in your life that can see every part of your mechanism, as if you’re made of glass. All your fragility and worry, all your buried sadness, it’s completely unmasked to them. It comes with time, dedication and vulnerability in the relationship and it can offer support when you most need it but are unable to ask, the adverse side being that these people will see your weakness even when you don’t want them to.” Music, at its best, opens the door to an honesty that borders on disconcerting. For London four-piece Delair The Liar, expressing a central truth is at the very core [Read More]

Gold-selling hard rockers Of Mice & Men — Aaron Pauley (bass + vocals ), Valentino Arteaga (drums), Alan Ashby (guitar), and Phil Manansala (guitar) — will release their seventh album “Echo” on December 3 via SharpTone Records. Today, the quartet shared the title track to the new album. “‘Echo’ is a song about one’s growing sensitivity to the transient nature of life, and one’s awareness to the similarities between the current human experience and human experiences of the past,” says Pauley. The much-anticipated complete album is comprised of the previously issued Timeless and Bloom EPs, along with the new and final Ad Infinitum EP. The EP will be released on vinyl in April 2022.

They had not been in the same room together since February 2020 and the start of the [Read More]

When you have a blinding rock song like this, you need an adrenaline-fuelled video, so to work with the folk at Demon Drome was spectacular. Their skill and bravery really adds to the excitement of the song”.  And what a song! Stringer’s signature raspy vocals soaring forward over Jack Bessant’s similarly infectious, driving bass.
