Weatherstate release music video for new single ‘Hangar’

February 23, 2021

Weymouth punk band Weatherstate released their massively hooky new single ‘Hangar’ the other week and now the track has a music video with an extraterrestrial theme. “When we had started shaping up the original demo ideas for “Hangar” in the spring of last year, I was bouncing riffs off of our long time video director and pal Ben Pollard” says guitarist Callan Milward. “Whilst we had no initial plans in place for music videos at that time, his initial vibe on the track kept coming back to thoughts about outer space, which ended up snowballing into something much greater. It’s safe to say this is perhaps the start of what’s to come and we can’t wait to drip feed our barmy world into everyone. Thanks to everyone who’s joined the initiative so far”. “Hangar” is the first track the band has released via their new label Rude Records and the riff-fuelled composition is expertly produced by Four Year Strong’s Alan Day. Rising to the challenges that COVID has posed, Weatherstate have been working with Day as a producer remotely and, [Read More]

Neck Deep release new song+video ‘I Revolve (Around You)’

July 19, 2020

Neck Deep has released their latest single “I Revolve (Around You)” a few days ago, accompanied by a cosmic, out-of-this world music video created by Félix Kerjean and the team at Remembers (http://remembers.fr). “’I Revolve (Around You)’ is a song about love on a planetary scale” shares frontman Ben Barlow of the single; “It is one big metaphor, comparing love to the movement of the planets. Picturing love on that scale really makes everything else seem small and insignificant. The song comes at a point of epiphany on the record- the realization that despite life’s trials and tribulations, love conquers all”. “Musically it’s hard hitting and impactful, and actually features one of my favorite ever sections in a Neck Deep song where I got to channel my inner Tom DeLonge, which for a song about space I feel is pretty fitting! It’s the first time we’ve done a full animated video and we’re so stoked on how it came out, the amazing team at Remembers in France did a beautiful job embodying the feeling of the lyrics”. “I Revolve (Around You)” joins recent singles “Fall“, “When You Know“ and “Lowlife“ from the [Read More]

January 30, 2019

With the arrival of the Polar Vortex, it has sent extreme frigid conditions across America. Hopefully those affected are curled up at home. If so, we have the perfect album to warm you up! AM Taxi have just released their new album, Shiver By Me and it is spectacular from start to finish. It delivers exactly what we have been craving; their infectious blend of punk rock that is sure to rejuvenate your spirit. We were first introduced to AM Taxi and were mesmerized by their performance at Slim’s in San Francisco opening for The Spill Canvas. With the release of their new album, we can proclaim that we are just as hooked as that first night. They have returned with a sound that is addictive in every sense of the word. Check out one of our fave tracks, Harpoon, that just screams that addictive AM Taxi sound: As many bands come and go experimenting or changing their style and sound to become unrecognizable, and more seem to stray from what everyone loves. Not AM Taxi. [Read More]

NEW MUSIC: AM TAXI release new song off their new album, Shiver By Me

January 3, 2019

It was nearly 9 years ago when we were first introduced to AM Taxi and were mesmerized by their performance at Slim’s in San Francisco opening for The Spill Canvas. Allow me to take you back that special show: Prior to starting it seemed that not many people were familiar with their music and were just waiting for the Spill Canvas to go onstage. Most of the audience was just mulling around the long L-shaped bar and mingling. As soon as AM TAXI peformed the first song; it was apparent that they were well received. People began to go to the stage and it was soon deep with people and all their attention was on AM TAXI. It was as if they knew they were watching a band that was soon going to be very well known and they didn’t want to miss any of it. Their energy was infectious and the crowd was soon moving around to their eclectic songs. By the time they played “Fed Up” it seemed everyone was glued to them. [Read More]

New Jersey Punk rockers SophistipunX are premiering their new EP, A Common Thread.

You can pick up or take a listen to the EP by heading over to: http://sophistipunx.bandcamp.com/album/a-common-thread About the band: June 8, 2013 may one day be considered a day that will live in infamy – it is the day that Dan and Paul met for the first time and the initial seeds for the idea of what would one day become SophistiPunX were planted. After being introduced to one another through a mutual friend – the singer of Dan’s band at the time (Knuckle Sandwich) – they quickly realized that they shared a mutual love of 90’s style fast punk (Bad Religion, Lagwagon, No Use for Name, Pennywise etc.) Paul missed playing music, but after a nearly ten year stint in his previous band (Stick Figure Suicide) he wasn’t sure he wanted to [Read More]

June 5, 2017

At BottleRock Napa we were excited to catch the SWMRS set. We have seen them a couple times before and they always give such an incredible high energy punk rock set. They got the crowd riled up with their angsty punk rock that captivated the crowd. The adrenaline was endless and they definitely gained thousands of more new fans that day. Their die hard fans were up front and center singing along with their fists in the air. It was spectacular to witness how this band has grown so much in the past couple years and they will continue to make huge strides in the music scene.
