Blood Command introduce new single “The End Is Her”

September 9, 2021

Self-proclaimed Death-Pop-band Blood Command released a new song today. “The End Is Her” is the second single with their new singer Nikki Brumen (ex-Pagan) on Hassle Records. You can stream the song here. Blood Command mastermind Yngve Andersen comments: “”The End Is Her” is for the losers, the outcasts and for the people, that never really belong. It’s a song about the feeling of being invisible, that no matter how loud you scream, nobody hears you. For everyone, that burns so bright, but noone else sees a spark of the flame. I have written the lyrics at a time, when I felt weak and alone, but I used this darkness as ammunition to get stronger. One never knows, what goes on in somebodys head or what he’s capable of. That’s why I want to remind the people with this song, never to underestimate the outcasts. That we have the ability to use the doubts of others, to ignite something in us – to ignite a match and set the world on fire. It felt right, [Read More]

September 9, 2021

Fresh from a string of US signings including Hollow Front, Vatican, Sleep Waker and Moodring, UNFD is now pleased to welcome fellow US heavy mainstays Invent Animate to the roster. Today’s signing news is bolstered by the announcement of the band’s new EP “The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was” and the reveal of its first single “The Sun Sleeps”. Out in full September 23, the EP finds Invent Animate opening up a powerful discourse on the ricochet effect of trauma and addiction.

The first track, today’s “The Sun Sleeps” sheds light on the story from the perspective of the drug affected, meanwhile the accompanying “As If It Never Was” explores the view of those left reeling in the sphere of impact of drug addiction. Speaking of “The Sun Sleeps”, Trey shares: “We wanted to explore both sides of a deeply painful [Read More]

State Champs drop new single “Outta My Head”

September 8, 2021

Fresh off their epic return to live performance at Slam Dunk in the UK over the weekend, New York pop-rockers State Champs have dropped their latest high-energy single “Outta My Head” for fans. The video premiered alongside a live chat with the band last night. “’Outta My Head’ is a faster, nostalgic, rooty one for us. Drawing inspiration from the early 2000’s, we tried to execute an ear wormy energetic tune that could have easily been heard on the American Pie movies soundtrack, or other rom coms alike”, shares lead vocalist Derek DiScanio. “If you’re not singing the chorus by the third time it comes around, well, just hit the replay button, I suppose”. State Champs have always embraced the idea of getting their music in front of as many people as possible. They aren’t running away from the sound they’ve established; if anything, it’s that scrappy punk spirit that drives them to continue to reach further and further. They’ve done pop arena tours, metal tours; they’ve even played a show on a beach. Wherever [Read More]

Skinny Lister share video for their new song “Damn The Amsterdam”

September 8, 2021

Skinny Lister are back! Their fifth studio record “A Matter Of Life & Love” will be out October 22nd via Xtra Mile Recordings. They recently released a video for the first single “Damn The Amsterdam (feat. The Longest John)”. The single is a return to the original roots-sound of Skinny Lister. The song is about the famous shipwreck in Hastings and is a straight Sailors Shanty, which reflects the style and stomp of “John Kanaka” from their first album “Forge & Flagon”. The new album “A Matter Of Life & Love” was written over the last 18 months and is essentially a collection of true stories and feelings that were truly ‘important’ to the band. The record contains all the typical invigorating stories from the streets, which have made Skinny Lister a festival-legend, from disturbing tour stories, in which they were stopped by the Bavarian police (“Bavaria Area”) to full throttle-airport-booze-songs (“Breakfast At Heathrow”); if you dig deeper, you’ll find a record, that will probably be their most personal and profound album so far. “A [Read More]

Guitars, bass, drums and a bit of singing. Had to remind people we can still rock”. Guitarist Ryan Fitz continues: “Recording these songs was a really different process than any way we’ve ever created music for Bearings before. It was probably the most “DIY” recording process we’ve done in our professional career as a band. Everyone came down to [Read More]

Don Broco share brand new single “Uber”

September 3, 2021

Don Broco have released their new single “Uber“, taken from the forthcoming new album “Amazing Things”, which will be released on the 17th September via Sharptone Records. “Uber” is a huge neon-fuelled anthem brimming with biting guitars, dream-like synths, and irresistible stirring vocals. The track is lyrically informed by their time in America, the result of and a reaction to a number of shocking situations that the band found themselves in. “This was the first song we started writing for the album a few years ago touring the States”, says the band. “Within the space of a week three separate ‘Uber’ drivers were openly racist in front of us, I guess assuming as white guys we’d share their views. ‘Uber’ is about being angry about that, being angry that racists seem to be growing in confidence to speak their hate in public and it’s a reminder to me to call out that discrimination whenever I see it”. The new single follows the release of the captivating and immersive single “One True Prince“, a luscious musical [Read More]
