Friends, drugs, relationships, memories and mistakes. Everything you’re not so sure you want to tell your future kids about”. They continue: “At times when you’re growing up, things can feel negative. But it feels good to look back at your life in a positive light. Embrace the things you’ve done that make you who you are today. We focused a lot on the acoustic guitar, and swing feel that the song has. Something to sound light and fun”. After spending nearly every Sunday during the pandemic brainstorming and writing together, childhood friends Alex Magnan (vocals), Gabe Pietrafesa (guitar), [Read More]

We Came As Romans share video for their new song “Darkbloom”

July 17, 2021

We Came As Romans – Joshua Moore [guitar], Dave Stephens [vocals], Lou Cotton [guitar], Andy Glass [bass], and David Puckett [drums] – have shared the video for their brand new single “Darkbloom”. With sharp synths and riffs that could chip that paint off the wall, “Darkbloom” represents the next chapter for WCAR. In Fall 2019, the band shared two new tracks: “From the First Note” and “Carry the Weight”. These songs marked the first material the band released after singer Kyle Pavone’s tragic passing in August 2018. “The idea behind ‘Darkbloom’ is that even through the darkest, most difficult times of life, there is still the potential, or possibility, of personal growth” says Moore “As long as we’re not willing to completely concede to the negative emotion or thought that feels like it has taken over, then we can be strong enough to overcome and push through to a different future. This song is about having the mind to be able to acknowledge the reality of situations we’re in, but having the strength to weather [Read More]

Trashboat release new single “Bad Entertainment”

July 8, 2021

One of the UK’s quickest rising bands, Trash Boat, released their newest track “Bad Entertainment” featuring spitfire vocalist/bassist Milkie Way of the up and coming metalcore duo WARGASM via Hopeless Records today. Fans can stream “Bad Entertainment (Feat. Milkie Way)” now at https://smarturl.it/BadEntertainment Frontman Tobi Duncan shares this on the meaning of today’s release: “Media these days seems to be dead set on constructing a binary rather than accurately representing current events. It’s a divisive means of forcing people to make a choice between one extreme or the other. In or out, us or them. It’s so easily curated and it knows it’s audience. It’s an entertainment medium like any other, driven by ratings, views and money. You watch one channel, read one paper and have one ‘understanding’ of the goings on in the world, not knowing that it has been hand crafted to fit a specific ethos and keep you compliant. Gone are the days (if they ever existed) of objectivity, there’s too much nuance in the world for any one person to truly [Read More]

This idea started from the notes app on our phone, and it’s now the first song you hear on our new EP.” After spending nearly every Sunday during the pandemic brainstorming and writing together, childhood friends Alex Magnan (vocals), Gabe Pietrafesa (guitar), and Troy Burchett (guitar) were ready to share the found happiness and love that many people are now being able to experience once again. The band’s debut self-titled LP released in 2020 was an extremely diverse mix of songs, so the guys decided to base the pop-rock sound of this EP off of the style of music their fans enjoyed the most from their previous album.

Dying Wish announce debut album “Fragments Of A Bitter Memory”

July 8, 2021

Dying Wish is the Portland-based blistering hardcore five-piece whose passionate music fuses New Wave of American Heavy Metal and chaos-driven punk noises. Late last year, they signed to SharpTone Records and today, have announced the release of their forthcoming record, “Fragments of a Bitter Memory” which will be released on October 1, 2021 via their new label home. Pre-orders are available now here. To celebrate the announcement, Dying Wish has released the record’s title track “Fragments of a Bitter Memory”. On the deeply personal new single, lead vocalist Emma Boster shares: “‘Fragments’ starts by taking the listener back to my first memory. I was five years old and I was the flower girl at my mother’s wedding. My biological father wasn’t in my life and the man she was marrying took a vow to fill that void. Over the next decade I watched that same man who I had learned to call my father become a violent alcoholic. By the time I was a young teen I was being verbally and physically abused by him [Read More]

Yours Truly share new single and video “Walk Over My Grave”

July 8, 2021

Australian pop-rock favourites Yours Truly enter a new era with their first taste of new music since their acclaimed 2020 album “Self Care”. The new single “Walk Over My Grave” finds the band toying with the idea of a person haunting you after they may have physically left your life, and the question as to whether you are haunting them too. Yours Truly vocalist Mikaila Delgado explains how the track’s title stemmed from a comment made by someone who abruptly left her world that stuck with her: “I shiver a lot, and when I’d shiver this person would say ‘someone must be walking over your grave’, and that was just a thought that kept coming back to me after we weren’t close anymore. I shivered one day as I was driving and I remember pulling over and writing lyrics. I was wondering, did anything I ever said stick with them? Were they thinking about me too?”. Its music video is seeped in gritty imagery and metaphor. Mikaila describes how she ran wild with her vision [Read More]
