Asking Alexandria release first single “Psycho” off upcoming album

June 16, 2023

I can still remember the first time seeing Asking Alexandria perform live. We had been following them for a while and couldn’t wait for them to play in the Bay Area in San Jose, CA in December 2011 on the tour with Avenged Sevenfold. We have loved seeing this band evolve and their music hit new levels with each album. Well they are set to release their eighth full-length studio album WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? this fall via Better Noise Music. The music scene has never felt so alive! They have recently released their latest single, Psycho and you are going to love it. Ben Bruce comments on the song, ‘Psycho’ is one of those songs that is talking about when you feel trapped inside your own head, trapped by your own vices and your own downfalls. Whether it’s being stuck in a relationship that doesn’t work for you, or feeling like you can’t stop drinking or doing drugs, or maybe you’re stuck in a job that you hate, and you’re [Read More]

Starbenders release new song and video for We’re Not Ok

June 15, 2023

One of our favorite sets of 2022 was catching Starbenders perform at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. We had been following the Atlanta-born glam/punk rockers for a while and finally got to see them LIVE. They blew away our expectations with a set that was stadium worthy! Check out some of the photos from that show by our Rockin Ryan: Today we are excited to share the video for their new song, We’re Not OK which is off their upcoming album, Take Back the Night set for a September 22nd release via Sumerian Records. Check out the video here: Kimi Shelter comments about the song, “When I initially wrote “We’re Not OK”, I was thinking about the struggle I’ve had with spirituality. Sometimes I feel like a poser when I try to tap into faith. That small voice going, “you really don’t believe”, “you know it’s not going to be any different”… and on and on. I brought my mentor and dear friend, James Hall, in to co-write. He was able to bring more light to [Read More]

Click here to stream + order the record now. About the album On Free Rein to Passions, the band followed their instincts down to the note to produce their most authentic work to date. The Nil‘s back-to-basics approach was a direct reaction to their previous record, 2021’s Fuck Art, a creative process that brought too many industry people whispering in the band’s ears, telling them how to polish and tweak their songs to fit on the radio or streaming playlists or whatever other arbitrary whims the modern music machine demands. “There were all these expectations and pressures, people telling us to try this or that,” says Bentham. “We’re by no means the biggest band in the world, but in [Read More]

Check out the latest video from Nashville rockers The Pink Spiders

June 15, 2023

Another great new band that you have to know! Nashville power rockers The Pink Spiders have released a video for their third single, Let’s Go Home, off their first album in 5 years, “Freakazoid,” that’s due out July 7th from Pure Noise Records. Frontman Matt Friction comments about the new song, “’Let’s Go Home’ is the first Pink Spiders song to celebrate the low-key joy of skipping the party and the bad decisions and just kickin it at home with the ones you love. It’s a bit out of character, but we felt like it was time for an anthem to taking care of yourself and not waking up with regrets. This sign of maturity will likely resonate with fans and critics alike.” Check out the video here: You can pre-order the new album, Freakazoid” HERE. Tracklisting:1. Gold Confetti2. Let’s Go Home3.
