The Pines of Rome (High Aura'd, Songs: Ohia members) share video for "White Ships" from new album... 


“9 New Albums You Should Listen To Now: The first new Pines of Rome album in 2 decades.” – Pitchfork


“Pines of Rome quietly took the underground by storm in the '90s and early '00s with their signature brand of downtrodden, folk rock-inflected slow rock. Now back after two decades with what could very well be their best album… They've obviously matured over this lengthy period of time, become fiercer musicians, and even stronger songwriters in the band's absence.” — Brooklyn Vegan



Providence, RI band The Pines of Rome share the official video today for "White Ships" from their first new album in over 20 years, released last week on Solid Brass Records. Watch/share the carefully hand-animated video on YouTube HERE. 


The album, The Unstruck Bell is available to hear/share and purchase HERE. Brooklyn Vegan previously premiered the official video for "REDACTED" HERE. (YouTube)


The Pines of Rome (John Kolodij, Matthew Derby, and Rick Prior) have been exploring the frontiers of Cosmic American Music on and off for the past 25 years, dialing down the tempo and turning up the volume to create tidal walls of sound that surge and break like the turbulent Atlantic waves that batter the shores of the smallest state in the Union.


The band originally formed in 1997, when the small-but-mighty Providence music scene was reaching an eclectic creative peak, where fuzz pop, psych rock, and noise bands would share the same stage at hallowed venues such as Fort Thunder, AS220, and The Living Room, sanding off the hard genre distinctions that kept music scenes in other cities silo'd.


Over 20 years had passed since their final show, and then, while shuttered inside during the pandemic, Derby was inspired to contact his former Pines bandmate, Kolodij and start writing new music. In addition to new music, the band welcomed new member Steven Kimura on bass and the trio became a 4-piece. 


Over the years The Pines Of Rome have shared the stage with great bands like Songs:Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co., Richard Buckner, Bonnie Prince Billy, June of '44, Shipping News, Lullaby for the Working Class, the Promise Ring, Jets To Brazil, Rainer Maria, Joan of Arc, Silkworm, Bright Eyes, and more.


The Unstruck Bell is available on LP and download on May 26th, 2023 via Solid Brass Records. Orders are available HERE.

The Poison Arrows (ex-Don Caballero, Thumbnail) share title track from forthcoming album on Solid... 



Chicago trio The Poison Arrows share the title track from their forthcoming fifth album today via all platforms. The album Crime and Soda will be available June 16th via Solid Brass Records. The new single, "Crime and Soda" is available to hear and share via Linktree HERE.


Pre-order/pre-save via the DSP of your choice HERE. 


The Poison Arrows formed in Chicago, Illinois, in 2006 with Adam Reach on drums, Patrick Morris on bass (ex-Don Caballero), and Justin Sinkovich (ex-Thumbnail, Atombombpocketknife) on guitar, keyboards, and vocals.


On the heels of 2022’s War Regards and after fifteen years of musical telepathy, Crime and Soda, is arguably the most balanced offering from The Poison Arrows. Their 5th LP showcases the band’s keen ability to balance softer, more contemplative periods held together by a dark and driving rhythm section with their signature moody-math intensity and complexity.


“Mercurial Moments Erased”, the first single, is about absorbing unpredictable changes in a loved one’s temperament and finding solace in deleting it from one’s memory bank. It features one of the Chicago trio’s quintessential obtuse lock groove constructions.


The signature Patrick Morris bass intro of “Joy Amber Scam” escalates into a math rock frenzy as the use some of their most intricate musical trickery to fuse together a frenetic sound reminiscent of June of 44, King Crimson, and Protomartyr, while Sinkovich tells a true story of how he got scammed in Mexico, an episode which started by shooting tequila in a jewelry story, and ended with Justin turning tables on his antagonists by having their entire business’s bank account shut down.


The third single and title track, “Crime and Soda”, deviates from the band’s mathier, post-rock tendencies and starts with a dark, slow piano piece recalling bands like Arab Strap or The Black Heart Procession. “Crime and Soda” is about giving up on someone who has become consumed by their consumption of “crime and sodas,”; a fictitious drink fabricated for this track.


The Poison Arrows have deep roots in the Chicago independent music scene and have played with countless bands that orbit their unique sound, including: Battles, Boris, Drahla, Drive Like Jehu, Film School, Girls Against Boys, June of 44, Man or Astroman?, Mudhoney, Polvo, and many more. Previous albums have included guest appearances from Brian Case of 90 Day Men and FACS, Scott McCloud from Girls Against Boys, Mia Clarke from Electrelane, Pall Jenkins from The Black Heart Procession, and numerous others.


Crime and Soda was recorded in Electrical Audio’s Studio A with Greg Norman, mixed by Brian Deck at Narwhal Studios, and mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service. The album will be available on LP and download on June 16th, 2023 via Solid Brass Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

CLUB COMA (ex-Boyfrndz) share lead single from forthcoming debut album 

 


Austin trio CLUB COMA share the lead single from their forthcoming debut full length today via New Noise Magazine. Hear and share "New Cruelty" (Bandcamp) (Spotify) (YouTube).


Club Coma is a new Austin experimental rock group comprised of guitarist/vocalist Scott Martin, drummer Aaron Perez (both previously of Boyfrndz) and keyboardist/bassist Geoff Earle (Stiletto Feels). Pulls together an exciting, genre-bending sound that lives somewhere between Rock, mid-aughts French touch, and early 1970’s R&B. Martin and Perez’s former band’s hazy, psychedelic and powerful rock takes on new melodic shades with layers of synths and more danceable rhythms with Club Coma. 


Club Coma formed in late 2022 after the indefinite hiatus of Boyfrndz, and after Geoff's solo endeavor Stiletto Feels slowed post-pandemic. Scott, seeking a new outlet as a vocalist after Boyfrndz hiatus, asked Aaron to keep an ear to the ground for groups -- realizing Geoff's group Aaron played drums for since 2017 may be interested. Scott and Geoff happened to run into each other a couple days later, quickly falling into weekly work sessions. Club Coma came out swinging, selling out their first headline show at Mohawk in April 2023 before any music had been released.


The band's self-titled debut album recorded with Jim Eno at Public Hi-Fi will be out this summer. More details to come. 






Artist: Club Coma

Album: Club Coma

Record Label: self-released

Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol announce July tour with Crobot, headlining Western US dates start... 


“Fuzzed-out, speaker-exploding groove that's both sonically excruciating and intoxicatingly alluring. Rock'n'roll to the core, the Austin-based band has clearly taken notes from noise rock and doom on how to achieve this kind of duality, and then dialed up the formula to new absurd levels… They find a weird sweet spot of harshness and catchiness that goes down like a greasy, gut-busting bad decision.” — Invisible Oranges


“Very little pretense but a whole dollop of kick, conjuring the sounds of early Red Fang or Dead Quiet.” — Heavy Blog Is Heavy


“Oozes originality from their vocal delivery to their sleazy brand of stoner, doom and rock n roll and Doom Wop is no exception. You can put on this album and get absolutely crushed by fuzz, but all the while with a big smile on your face.” – Doom Charts 


"Epically catchy... Imagine the ear-wormy fuzz-rock riffage of Dinosaur Jr. if it was played on an eight-string guitar with super heavy low-end." -- Revolver Magazine



Austin trio Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol just completed the first leg of their summer U.S. tour dates and today added July shows with Crobot. Before that, the band headlines the West Coast in June following the first-ever RBBP Big Dumb Fest event in their hometown on June 4th. Please see all dates below. Ticket links HERE.


Rickshaw Billie's Big Dumb Fest features 7 bands and 4 food vendors for the ultimate meeting of the ears, eyes and taste buds! Sunday, June 4th, 2023 - at Mohawk Austin - 4pm


Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol 

w/ Eagle Claw, Tia Carrera, Billy Glitter, Gus Baldwin & The Sketch, Buzz Electro, Pinko


Eats by: Chilly's Philly's, Bad Larry Burger Club, Jim Jam's Biscuits, Chef's Kiss



RBBP released their new album Doom Wop in September 2022. Hear Doom Wop on your favorite streaming service HERE. Revolver Magazine recently premiered the official video for "Heel" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)


With their 5th studio release, Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol is putting a name to the style of fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. In 9 concise, no bullshit songs, RBBP demonstrates their ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon’s 8-String guitar, Aaron Metzdorf’s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain’s driving drumwork. Lydon and Metzdorf’s vocal melodies cut through the high frequencies to deliver fresh layers to the hooks that RBBP fans have come to love.


As the name implies, Doom Wop is a heavy, melody-driven, party metal album. With riffs as big and dumb as ever, and lyrics that stab at the worst members of society and ourselves (while keeping tongue firmly in cheek), listeners will find all the elements that make up the soul of RBBP on this record. 


Doom Wop is available on CD and download, released on September 23rd, 2022. Vinyl LP coming in June. Orders are available HERE.

OSDM, d-beat band OAK, ASH & THORN launch video via Decibel Magazine from upcoming EP on Lost... 

"I've absolutely fallen in love with their d-beat inflected, richly expressive take on death metal. This is nothing more than well made, thought out, and passionately performed metal that runs on the wild and epic sound we love here on Heavy Blog." -- Heavy Blog is Heavy


"D-beat infused blackened death metal...Their latest recorded triumph." -- Decibel Magazine



Denver quartet Oak, Ash & Thorn premiere the official video for "Unchain the Wolf" from their forthcoming 2-song EP today via Decibel Magazine. Watch and share "Unchain the Wolf" HERE.

Heavy Blog is Heavy recently shared the single "Distant Mountains, Distant Gods" with a shining review HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.)


Oak, Ash & Thorn arose from Colorado’s Rocky Mountain front range out of a collective passion for heavy metal and old-world paganism. Singer / guitarist Adam Armstrong pulled together a band consisting of guitarist Jason Harding, bassist Erik Hoffman and drummer Cierra White in 2015 and began honing their crushing, OSDM sound by playing plenty of shows in and around the Denver heavy metal scene. Their first album titled May Every Altar Linger was self-released Fall of 2018, followed by a slew of national shows. The band teamed up with Fabian Jiru of Trollfest/Fleshmeadow to record their second release, To Gaze on Stars of Frost, released in May of 2021. In 2022, the band embarked on two successful runs of shows through the northern plains and the Pacific Northwest. 


Having cultivated a fruitful and creative connection, the band has once again joined forces with Jiru to track 2 brand new singles, “Unchain the Wolf” and “Distant Mountains, Distant Gods” mastered by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio. On the strength of these, the band is proud and excited to announce that they've signed with California's Lost Future Records, with whom they'll record and release a follow-up EP in the second half of 2023. Next up, the band embarks on an East Coast US tour in May in support of Quebec's Aeternam and NYC's Solemn Vision.


‘Unchain the Wolf’ is heavily influenced by crust/d-beat bands like Anti-Cimex, Tragedy, and Martyrdöd, while still leaning into the melodic, OSDM sound that defines the Oak, Ash & Thorn sound. Lyrically, it uses the legend of Fenrir, the wolf that devours the world at the end of time, to conjure dark images of family strife and personal pain. 


‘Unchain the Wolf’ will be out digitally and on 7-inch single with the b-side ‘Distant Mountains, Distant Gods’ on May 19th from Lost Future Records. Pre-orders are available HERE. 


OAK, ASH & THORN LIVE 2023:

05/18 Louisville, KY - Mag Bar

05/20 Atlanta, GA - Blast Beats & Brews Fest

05/25 Frederick, MD - Cafe 611

05/26 Philadelphia, PA - Milkboy Philly

Mario Infantes (vocalist of Metal Blade band Cult of Lilith) shares lead single from forthcoming... 

 


Iceland based artist Mario Infantes shares the first single from his forthcoming solo debut album Antidote to a Turbulent Mind today via Metal Injection. Hear/share "Explore The Woods..." HERE. (Direct Bandcamp.)


On Antidote to a Turbulent Mind, Mario Infantes, lead singer of Metal Blade signed band Cult of Lilith, has painstakingly crafted a record of synth soundscapes that brings the listener on a voyage deep into the mind of the artist. The album follows a man after he consumes a psychedelic tincture and descends into his own fears, desires and obsessions. The songs range from 8-bit chiptune to Kitaro influenced ambient pieces while also maintaining the tension of a horror movie soundtrack. Infantes weaves these together into a cohesive whole that allows the listener to apply their own interpretation to the journey.


Infantes, the Spanish born singer, is a visual and music artist based in Iceland. His "show stopping vocal power" has drawn the attention of metal fans and publications across the world. Recently he has begun experimenting with synths, drum machines and virtual instruments, the result is his first instrumental album. This is his first album for Lost Future Records.


Antidote to a Turbulent Mind will be available on LP and digital on July 7th, 2023 via Lost Future Records. Preorders are available HERE.

Object As Subject (ex-Kultur Shock) shares "Temporary Bodies" video + album early listen 


“This LA-based feminist industrial electro-punk group delivers a remarkably mature and harmonious blend… Quite a versatile album which departs from the band’s previous pure punk outings. Fans of The Living Jarboe, Lingua Ignota, and Emma Ruth Rundle will undoubtedly find Object As Subject’s sound enthralling and engaging.” -- Side-Line



L.A.-via-Seattle art punk group Object As Subject share the official video for "Temporary Bodies" from their forthcoming album Heretic today via Side-Line. Watch/share "Temporary Bodies" HERE. (Direct YouTube.)


And, if you can't wait to hear the new album, Punk News has just opened up an exclusive stream of Heretic in full ahead of tomorrow's release date. Hear/share the album HERE. 


“I want you free from enough,” screams OBJECT AS SUBJECT singer/songwriter Paris Hurley on her forthcoming sophomore album, HERETIC. Free from shame. Free from the bondage of self. Free from the need to validate one's existence through doing or having. 


Tracing the archetype of The Heretic –– the one who chooses –– the record traverses varied terrain from monsoon-induced floods to celebratory dance parties, creating a balm for the bruises left by scarcity and capitalism. At once a ritual, a portal, a spell, an invocation; this is music to move your body and feel your feelings to. Returning to oneself, death, grief, trust, and receiving are all featured themes, made real by Hurley's haunting, shapeshifting vocal delivery across these 10 tracks. A close collaboration with producer, Ben Kaplan (Sleep Maps / Lost Future Records), HERETIC transforms the raw ritual punk of her first record, PERMISSION (2018), into a sacred and cinematic world filled with pulsing drums, synths, gritty bass, and lush string arrangements. Both a ritual for its listeners and deeply personal, HERETIC is an autobiographical journey through Hurley’s interior, spanning her childhood in the Sonoran desert, her experience as a woman, a reclaiming of her own God concept, and her path to becoming a mother.


OBJECT AS SUBJECT is American musician, composer, and choreographer, Paris Hurley. A shapeshifting autobiographical exploration supported by a long lineage of collaborators, the project places Hurley as the subject of her own story, questioning the edges of objecthood and obligation as a woman at its core. OAS originated in Seattle (2014) as a solo project turned trio and evolved into a music and dance collective that bridged gritty ceremonial punk with performance art in Los Angeles, thrashing its way through audiences and bringing forth debut album, PERMISSION, in 2018. Now Philadelphia-based, she has taken a lush and cinematic turn for sophomore album, HERETIC, with producer, Ben Kaplan (Sleep Maps) and contributors, Jherek Bischoff and Emily Hope Price, exploring themes of choice, interdependence, and sovereignty across 10 tracks.


Heretic will be available on LP, CD and digital on May 12th, 2023 via Lost Future Records. Preorders are available HERE.

With riffs as big and dumb as ever, and lyrics that stab at the worst members of society and ourselves (while keeping tongue firmly in cheek), listeners will find all the elements that make up the soul of RBBP on this record. 


Doom Wop is available on CD and download, released on September 23rd, 2022. Vinyl LP coming in June. Pre-orders are available HERE.
