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]

New video from Hot Milk for “Breathing Under Water”

August 16, 2023

Hot Milk are set to release their debut album, A Call to the Void on August 25th. Ahead of the release, they have just given us the emotionally driven vulnerable track Breathing Underwater and it is incredible! A track co-vocalist, Han Mee describes as sounding “like when you break your own heart. To feel like you’re drowning, gasping for air, frustrated and alone. This song embodies the emotion and spirit of our current headspace, and we feel it may be the most important song we’ve ever pulled from the universe. This is Hot Milk’s true heart. Hot Milk is an emotion.” Stirring vocal harmonies, heartening string sections and effortless key changes find comfort in melodic and emotive balladeering and songcraft to create an impassioned sonic call to arms with Mee stating that “we needed to write this song as a cry to the outside world. Breathing Underwater is the beating heart and defining song off our debut album, it was written first and set off a chain reaction that moulded the feeling of A CALL TO THE VOID.” Check [Read More]

When we were playing together in a garage and making songs with a “fuck you” attitude, just for the sake of doing it,” shares vocalist Andy Leo. “We kept that spirit alive with ‘Black Sheep’ and aim to provide a solid 3:52 seconds of in-your-face energy that young crown would’ve loved. We hope you love it too.” DOGMA, produced and mixed by ZachJones (Fever 333, Poorstacy, Scene Queen, Nova Twins), is a diverse album fueled by angst, existential identity, isolation, and determination. Over the last three years, the band took time to reflect on personal and collective priorities. This introspection is reflected lyrically [Read More]
