The Schizophonics share new single "Under The Moonlight" from forthcoming album, full US tour...

"The wildest band in America." -- Spotify For Artists

"Makers of high octane, soulful garage punk." -- Brooklyn Vegan

"The explosive live act proudly evokes the high energy rock’n’roll of The MC5, merged with the aggressive rhythms of 60s Memphis soul underground for a relentless blast of fun." -- Big Takeover

“The kind of Rock rawkus that makes me shake my ass like I’m possessed by the spirit of MC5 and Little Richard at the same time. This band’s songs don’t just exist to be heard but to be felt deep down in your soul!” — CvltNation

San Diego trio The Schizophonics share a new single from their forthcoming fourth album today via CvltNation. Hear and share "Under The Moonlight" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)

The band recently launched the video for "Won Your Love", a recent live show favorite, available to watch and share via YouTube. The band previously issued the lead single "Desert Girl" via YouTube, Spotify and all other DSPs.

The band just recently wrapped up an extensive tour of Europe, and will be very busy for the next year with tour dates around the world. Extensive North American dates kick off in September. Please see current dates below.

Over the last few years, The Schizophonics have built up a formidable reputation around the world as an explosive live act. Tapping into the same unstoppable combination of rock 'n' roll energy and showmanship that fueled The MC5 in the heyday of the Grande Ballroom, their wild live show is heavily influenced by artists like James Brown, Iggy Pop, Jimi Hendrix, Little Richard, and The Sonics.

Singer/guitarist Pat Beers and drummer Lety Beers formed the band in San Diego in 2009 and have worked tirelessly since then, playing hundreds of shows around the globe. In 2013 they were recruited as the backing/opening band for El Vez, which helped the band make a name for itself in Europe. Since then, they've played in numerous countries, and supported tours by like-minded acts like Rocket From The Crypt, Little Barrie, The Woggles and have opened for the Damned, DEVO, The Hives and Cage The Elephant. Shindig Magazine described their live show "Like watching some insane hybrid of WAYNE KRAMER, JAMES BROWN, and the Tasmanian Devil.”

The band is more than just a live act; they're also committed to writing great memorable songs. Their new album Hoof It on Pig Baby Records due in Fall 2022 was recorded by Dean Reis at Singing Serpent studio (Plosivs, RFTC) and mixed by Steve Kaye at Sun King Studios.

Hoof It will be available on LP, CD and download on September 2nd, 2022 via Pig Baby Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

Pink Frost shares new single "Two Faces" from forthcoming album

"Crunchy alt rock and just a bit of shoegaze." -- Brooklyn Vegan

"Off-kilter, yearning rock music that strives for a populism that's considered a bit declassé by most of their peers and, as such, badly missed." -- Pitchfork

Chicago band Pink Frost share a new track from their first new album in 5 years today via New Noise Magazine. Hear and share "Two Faces" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.) Pre-order/pre-save album Linktree.
Brooklyn Vegan recently premiered the video for album title track "Until The Summer Comes" HERE. (Direct YouTube.) 

“It was a new torture, the waiting,” says Pink Frost vocalist/guitarist Adam Lukas. 

When life suddenly froze for all of us, it wasn’t the downtime that was unbearable, it was the growing uncertainty as time dragged on that all of our loose threads would ever be connected. 

The Chicago band had just completed recording their fourth album — splitting the studio time with sister band Touched By Ghoul (whose 2020 Cancel The World album title proved prophetic) — when plans to reconvene in France with longtime engineer Gregoire Yeche to mix in April 2020 became impossible. 

When Gregoire eventually returned to Chicago in 2021, life in limbo seemed the new normal. Yet, the band felt somehow liberated. “We were like ‘F**k it, let's make our dream record,’” Lukas says. “We went in depth in a way we never have before. There are no compromises on this album. No cringeworthy oversights. We almost lost our minds doing it, but I'm happy we did.”

Indeed, the 9-song album is a feast of hooks and subtle transformations that shows both a slight return to the band’s previous indie-punk take on Smashing Pumpkins style oversized alt-rock, and their ever-growing palette of shoegaze, drone and anthemic rock. There’s even an almost peak NIN, Wax Trax industrial vibe to some tracks that underscores how the band continues to wield new ideas. 

“We lost (guitarist) Paige Sandlin during the pandemic,” Lukas says. “But gained Angela from Touched By Ghoul, who now plays guitar and contributed some vocals on the LP, and brings a whole new excitement to the live show.” 

Until The Summer Comes was recorded in Chicago at Steve Albini’s legendary Electrical Audio with longtime engineer Gregoire Yeche, just as the band has done on New Minds (2017), Sundowning (2013) and the Traitors EP (2014). “Electrical Audio is almost like another member of the band at this point,” Lukas says. “There is a purity to their method that captures the essence of the performance and preserves it in this magical 3-D way.”

The album opens with the title track’s thumping toms in a marching rhythm, soon joined by buzzing fuzz guitars before the whole song erupts in a huge chorus with chunky guitars reminiscent of peak Downward Spiral era NIN. “Two Faces” is an explosive diatribe driven home by bassist Alex Shumard’s lunging 4-string. “On A Clear Day (You Can See The End of The World)” sets a Beatles-esque acoustic guitar led melody atop psychedelic haze and rollicking drums. “Halo” serves up a lush shoegaze ballad in which drummer Nate Furstenau nods to My Bloody Valentine’s hybrid of drum machines and live drums for powerful effect. “Feed The Hungry Bee” closes the album with a repetitively building tension that leads into a dramatic finish that’s certain to be a live favorite. 

Pink Frost’s previous albums received an onslaught of praise from such revered outlets as Pitchfork, SPIN, Noisey, Brooklyn Vegan, Magnet Magazine and Chicago Reader, as well as song placements in a feature film ("The Lookalike"), TV's Shameless, The Rookie, The Vampire Diaries, CSI: Miami and more. In December 2015, Pink Frost released a completely remixed, rethought and remastered version of their debut album Gargoyle Days, originally issued under the band’s former name Apteka. 

Until The Summer Comes will be available on LP, CD and download on September 16th, 2022 via Under Road Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

DRECKIG fuse Latin rhythms/Krautrock/retro Electronic on forthcoming album, hear single "La...

Portland, OR duo Dreckig share a new single from their forthcoming album Digital Exposure today via The Spill Magazine. Hear and share "La Ballena" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.)

Growing up in México and Germany, Papi Fimbres and Shana Lindbeck’s destiny led them to meet in Portland, OR. Wanting to honor their heritages in a new and collaborative way, they set out to form Dreckig, which means dirty in German. 

Both deeply influenced by Cumbia’s melodious rhythms and German electronic compositions, they have created their own unique sound within that realm. Using all vintage drum machines and synthesizers, these elements are combined & envisioned in the studio, then brought to the stage in a mystical, dance club frenzy. 

For Dreckig’s third album, Papi and Shana once again collaborated with Pinewave Studio’s Johann Wagner. Utilizing the studio’s impressive array of vintage drum machines, synthesizers and modulars, their favorites being the Roland 808, DMX & Moog Voyager, they created Digital Exposure. Continuing with the tradition of singing in Spanish, German and English, the album touches on topics of social constructs — such as “Own Your Shadow” and its call to look deep into one’s existence, on environmental impacts — such as “La Ballena,”a love song for our deep blue ocean, on embracing everyday life — such as “La Mita,” telling the story of an adventurous trip to México’s stunning coast. The flute, Dreckig’s third and sometimes only vocalist, adds a focused perspective to their unique sound and rounds out the album in its truest form. This is Dreckig’s first time collaborating with San Francisco’s Broken Clover Records to release the album on vinyl and all music platforms. 

Digital Exposure will be available on LP, CD and download on August 12th, 2022 via Broken Clover Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

The Living Pins (w/Sixteen Deluxe's Carrie Clark) debut "Oh Yeah" single following Austin radio...

“The Living Pins filter 60s psychedelic grooves through the more straightforward sensibilities of 90s alt-rock,

a combination that's both accessible and impossibly cool. Hearing Clark and Peltz harmonize over the garage-rock strut of opener ‘Raven,’ or the sweet pop-rock hooks of ‘Jaguar,’ you can see why Kim Deal of The Breeders counts herself as a fan.” — The Onion AV Club

"A lively union of post-grunge guitar psychedelia and Stonesy chug, as if the nation's Nineties soundtrack evolved out of seminal garage rock comp Nuggets instead of the Velvet Underground." -- Austin Chronicle

Austin, TX band The Living Pins release a new single today via Big Takeover Magazine. The song, "Oh Yeah" is the second track of a 2-song EP of perfect summertime tunes. Hear and share "Oh Yeah" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.)

The band released the single "Chateau" back in June, which has become somewhat a local indie radio hit, charting on the KUTX radio Top 30, and receiving spins on multiple commercial indie shows and college radio alike.

The Living Pins recently released their debut EP Freaky Little Monster Children in April 2021 to much critical fanfare, just 25 years since their first single in 1996. Hear and share Freaky Little Monster Children EP via Bandcamp.

The Living Pins are guitarists/vocalists Pam Peltz and Carrie Clark, joined by a rotating cast of players.

Carrie is an inductee into the Austin Music Hall of Fame as the frontwoman for Sixteen Deluxe (Trance Syndicate, Warner Bros. Records). Pam is a published photographer and the producer of two Daniel Johnston songs, “Ain’t No Woman Gonna Make a George Jones Outta Me” and “Casper” on Daniel’s Continued Story album.

The Living Pins originally formed in 1996 during the heyday of iconic Austin clubs such as Liberty Lunch, Electric Lounge, and The Hole In The Wall. Pam and Carrie met as co-workers at Wheatsville Food Co-op and continued in the tradition of employee bands including the likes of Ed Hall, Cherubs, Sixteen Deluxe, Pong, Palaxy Tracks, and Cotton Mather. The original Living Pins line-up included Kathy Ziegler (Morningwood) and Leslie Petit (Bunny Stockhausen) and this incarnation of the Pins appeared on the 1998 Wheatsville band compilation The Wheat Album, with their cover of the T. Rex song, “Spaceball Ricochet”, produced by John Croslin (Spoon, Guided by Voices).

The new single was recorded at The Bubble Studios in Austin, TX. Bubble Master Chris “Frenchie” Smith is Sixteen Deluxe-bandmate-forever with Carrie and it was a natural next step to enlist his skills. As The Living Pins were aiming to embody something like the dreamy crispness of 1970s FM radio, there is definitely the overlap that Pam and Carrie and Frenchie understand. It’s the aesthetic of being a little kid with a portable Realistic cassette recorder. You could sit next to the radio and then hit record and get your favorite ELO song or Badfinger song and just feel the vibe.

The ROCK factor of the Bubble recordings is enhanced by Carrie and Pam’s most excellent company, the impeccable rhythm section of Claire Hamilton on bass and Rich Malley on drums. They are just two Austin legends. Austin has so many legends. Claire and Rich are two of them.

Much was made of the fact that the FLMC was their first release in 25 years. So, Carrie and Pam figured, “Let’s have another release within a year. Keep the momentum going this time.” So, in the spirit of momentum and all that is fun, The Living Pins present two new singles, “Chateau” and “Oh Yeah’, to rock you on through the Summer of 2022.

Broken Clover Records donating all August profits to charity, label that pays bands 100%...

"We make records and give a shit about people." -- Broken Clover Records

Bay Area record label Broken Clover Records announces their biannual Giving Back campaign for August today. Every February and August the label donates its share of profits to worthy causes selected by the label's artists. This month's charities include: The ACLU, San Francisco Public Schools, Muttville, TGIJustice, Cob on Wood, Ukraine-Hilfe Berlin, Jean Dutoit Collective, and Be An Angel. For more details and links to the charities, go HERE.

The label begun in 2018 by Bay Area native Mickey Darius includes albums by June of 44, Democratic Republic of Congo's Fulu Kolektiv (sister initiative to Fulu Miziki), experimentalists Enablers, queer country Secret Emchy Society, Lori Goldston (Nirvana cellist), Basque (Spain) punks +oc and many more.

Broken Clover is a label approaching the music business in many new ways. Darius pays the label's artists their entire royalties up front as soon as the records arrive, for everything they would earn if the entire pressing sells out.

"They did their part, so should not be held hostage, waiting for the label to do the selling part," Darius says. "We are quite literally putting food on our artists tables and paying rents…even if we don’t sell a single copy, and this means a lot to me."

About the label's biannual Giving Back initiative, Darius explains, "This is how the label can not only give back to the artists themselves (via actually paying them for their work), but also to the communities that foster these artists and others like them."

Broken Clover withholds releasing albums on all streaming platforms except for Bandcamp for a period up to 6 months in order to give the bands and fans a leg up to access music first in a forum and formats that truly reward the music listening experience.

Voted Best Record Label 2021 by 48 Hills / SF Bay Guardian

The label has over 20 releases with many more to come in 2022 and beyond. Check out and hear the current roster via Bandcamp at brokencloverrecords.bandcamp.com

Darius is available for interviews, as well as any of the label's artists. Please get in touch with US/THEM for promo copies and more information.

PINEID (Zappa Band, Dethklok, Dr. John members) issue new single from upcoming debut, produced by...

"The talent in this band is off the charts... The initial attack may very well knock you onto your ass if you're not ready.” -- Metal Injection

Los Angeles band Pineid share a new single from their forthcoming debut album Blue Doom today via Metal Insider. Hear and share "Origins" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp and Spotify.)

Metal Injection recently launched first single "The Tick" HERE. 

Prog-rock. Concept album. Two terms that punk rock obliterated from the annals of cool. And yet, here it is 2022 and new L.A. venture Pineid has thrown down the gauntlet to prove that progressive leaning heavy rock can be powerful and challenging, concept albums can convey existential angst and fury. 

But as musicianship goes, this is no ordinary band. It features guitarist Jamie Kime (The Zappa Band, Dr. John, Grammy winner with Zappa Plays Zappa), bassist Pete Griffin (Giraffe Tongue Orchestra, Dethklok, Dr. John, Grammy winner with Zappa Plays Zappa), drummer James Pope (Phoenix Afrobeat Orchestra, The Gentlemen of Leisure) and vocalist/guitarist Jeff Sites (Butcher) making perfectly and cleverly executed post-metal punk rock. 

Pineid’s 9-song debut album Blue Doom was produced by Toshi Kasai, known for his work with Melvins, Tool, Robert Fripp, Keiji Haino and many more. Blue Doom is the fledgling release from a new label started by Kasai and Sites called Sympatry Records. Some sonic touchstones include Voivod, Melvins, Tool, King Crimson, U.S. Maple, et al. 

“I say this with some trepidation, but Blue Doom is a concept album,” explains Sites. “It is about the things that cause us to make drastic changes in our lives. Some of it is prescriptive, some of it personal, some is paleoanthropology. Lyrically, I try to examine setting out, false destinations, trials, anxiety, forgiveness and plunging into certain death. The music oscillates between supporting this narrative, and serving as a reminder that all stories are simplifications and vulnerable to destruction at the hands of reality.”

“The band members have been friends for a long time,” Sites continues. “Careers, families, life and other musical endeavors conspired to make the writing process a challenge. We did nearly all of the compositions in pairs. This meant that I drove around town with a USB stick full of session files for over a year. As it happened, the world ground to a halt right as we began to record. Getting into the studio for even a day or two took weeks to plan. We were not immune to the feelings of uncertainty and rebalancing of priorities with which most everyone dealt. In a way, the difficulties we faced in the process mirrored the story we wanted to tell. Much of the credit goes to Toshi for holding it together. He did a lot to keep the process organic and adaptive when so much else had gone virtual and synthetic.”

Blue Doom will be available on CD and download on August 26th, 2022 via Sympatry Records. Vinyl LP release date TBD. Pre-orders are available at www.sympatryrecords.com

All Souls (ex-Totimoshi, Fatso Jetson) drop video w/ skateboarding Lucha Libres & Jackass star...

"The bluster and bravado Totimoshi exerted at its most primal is still felt in All Souls, but melody, depth and reatraint actually make the sonorous sting more biting and more venomous." -- Premier Guitar

“Captivating… crunchy-ass riffs and vocal hooks.” — Metal Injection

L.A. band All Souls share the first single from their forthcoming album Ghosts Among Us on all platforms today. Hear and share "I Dream" via Bandcamp, Spotify and others HERE.

All Souls announce their forthcoming album Ghosts Among Us with Alain Johannes producing. The album was written and recorded during the height of the pandemic. The song "I Dream" is a meditation on trauma that haunts us and creating a mantra to break it away.

Never a band to shy away from their roots, the video uses Mariachi Plaza in their neighborhood of Boyle Heights, LA as the backdrop. Shot guerilla style while cops and security guards stood by secretly taking snap shots of a twisted scene of grown men in tights and zombies playing on the band stand.

All Souls have shared the stage with Tool, the Jesus Lizard, Melvins and Meat Puppets. They are getting ready to hit the road again out to Ripple Fest in Austin TX.

Live From Total Annihilation split album with Fatso Jetson will be released August 19th on special CD/Vinyl/DVD packaging through Ripple Music.

All Souls' 3rd full length Ghosts Among Us is slated to come out this fall 2022 on Oscura Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

My Heart, An Inverted Flame collaborate w/ viral star Banshee for new single premiere via...

"A churning, smouldering heap of hellish goodness." -- Revolver Magazine

San Francisco duo My Heart, An Inverted Flame share their new single, a collaboration with viral "Fairy Metal" star Banshee, today via Revolver Magazine. Hear and share "The Blood of The Heartless (Detritus)" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.)

About the collaboration:

A gloriously unnatural union. A mutual appreciation forged in sound. Long enamored with the enigmatic Banshee, MHAIF requested a sonic alliance, and were presented with a set of vokills both harsh and haunting, a harrowing, emotional autopsy of raw, unfettered, patriarchal subversion, given life as true-hearted epic black metal worship, albeit with a uniquely modern skew -- a ghoulish/girlish shriek rife with kultish mystery and smoldering fury. MHAIF then endeavored to create an appropriately ferocious and feral setting for that singular, savage voice, adding atmospheric heft in pursuit of an appropriately punishing delivery method for Banshee's howled screed, culminating in “The Blood of the Heartless (Detritus)” -- a pummeling and provocative, brutal and nuanced exploration of modern sonic extremity.

About the band:

My Heart, an Inverted Flame, the synth-doom duo of Andee Connors (A Minor Forest, Common Eider, King Eider) and Marc Kate (I Am Spoonbender, Never Knows) eschew traditional doom weaponry (i.e. guitar and bass) entirely, to generate something at once doom-adjacent, but at the same time, wholly other: a series of devastatingly heavy, seismic rituals conjured up via Connors' caveman-crush drumming and Kate's blown out, wall-of-sound synthesizers. The result: an art-damaged, cosmos-destroying, wildly psychedelic rite of dolorous droning dirgery, churning, black hole heaviness and sublime, cinematic annihilation.

The single will be released digitally and also on a limited edition lathe cut 8" vinyl picture disc. Pre-orders for the vinyl single are available HERE.

Swiss band Torpedo share first single from upcoming album on Broken Clover Records, FFO: Patti...

"An epic symphony combining noise rock; industrial; ’70’s influences; and elements of sludge, drones waves, psychedelia, and spoken word...A palpable darkness dominated by raw riffs." -- New Noise Magazine

Lausanne, Switzerland trio Torpedo share the first single from their forthcoming album Orpheo_Nebula today via New Noise Magazine. Hear and share "HELL" HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.)

Founded in 2016 in the Swiss city of Lausanne, Torpedo was then made up of Carole Obère, on vocals and guitar, Jérôme Diserens on bass and keyboard, and machines as only companions. The group draws its energy from its beginnings in an industrial, post-apocalyptic and rough universe approaching no-wave and kraut with a touch of punk, while clinging to the force of wild nature carrier of hope.

Thus, in 2018, when conceiving their first album in remote collaboration with Antoine Pfammatter on drums, the duo escaped from their urban and oppressive environment, to hide in a small house on the Irish west coast. It was there, facing the Atlantic Ocean, to the sounds of the crashing waves and the wind whistling through the windows of a house haunted by - undoubtedly - tortured spirits, that Torpedo recorded their first album Sphynx. Self-produced, it was released in April 2019. We

hear echoes of Sonic Youth, Siouxsie & the Banshees and hints of grunge.

Two months earlier, on February 14th, 2019, the duo met Andries Hannaart. Between the Dutch drummer and the duo, it's love at first sight. A lightning that falls on the drums, perfectly complementing a voice that chants, murmurs and spits, noisy guitar riffs, bordering on punk, powerful and bewitching bass lines and deep cosmic sound atmospheres.

Having become a trio, Torpedo has found the perfect balance. This is perhaps what prompted the

group to record their second LP live (vocals, guitar, bass and drums) in early 2020. taking refuge in

their premises, in a newly confined world. This absurd external environment becomes fertile

ground for the development of a powerful and saving work. Entitled Orpheo_ Nebula, the

rock'n'roll, noise and industrial piece built around six poetic texts comes to crown an ultra coherent

artistic path. A sincere approach that grips the guts with each listen, transforming the listening

experience into a shamanic, introspective and overwhelming adventure.

Orpheo_Nebula will be available on LP and download on Broken Clover Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.
