Montreal based Derelict have released their video for the track “Machete†online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93oc3CbRuMA. The video was shot in Brantford, Ontario by director Justin Peeler of Frontline Pictures. “Machete is about the violence going on around the world at any given moment. In the Western world we are lulled into a false sense of safety. Our cozy little cradle society shelters us from what’s really happening around the world and…
Enemy 13 starts out their “Self Destruction Is†with a tremendously fast bit of punk rock that is modified by the inclusion of double-bass drumming. The recording is a a lot on the fuzzy, slightly tinny side but the one thing that individuals will be able to hear throughout is the talent and intensity of the band. Couple that with a guitar riff that will bring individuals back to the…
Almost 1 year after the release of the “Sonic Visuals” LP, Mulatto Patriot releases the remix album featuring production by Grant Parks (Coalmine), Smerz, DJ CXL (New Zealand), Mulatto Patriot himself and more. Due out today, this 18 track remix album features some of the tracks that gave Mulatto Patriot his precedence in the music industry, along with the cast of wordsmiths such as Ras Kass, Casual (Hieroglyphics), Pumpkinhead (Brooklyn…

I had presumed that Endwell was going to be another act that played a brand of Hawthorne Heights-like emo with their “Homeland Insecurityâ€, but in reality what results is a blend between the more metal-based hardcore of the current time and the emo style that is also large. The one thing that individuals will notice early on in the disc, specifically with their “The End†is that Endwell uses a…
Spin – “This promising Brooklyn trio exist in an openhearted world that’s far removed from their borough’s often too-cool posturing.” Relix – “This is art rock of the first caliber, with gorgeously morose piano and electronically driven jams that are as engaging as they are emotionally distraught.” Alternative Press – “sparking vocal melodies and shimmering guitars en masse” NPR’s All Songs Considered : “One of the most beautiful and moving…
Just thought I’d get in touch to let you know that the legendary DJ Danny Howells is about to embark on a brand new US tour. I was wondering if you would you be interested in catching up with Danny to talk about his new tour, productions and his critically acclaimed label Dig Deeper? Please find tour dates: Fri 25 Sep 2009, Chicago, IL, USA – Spy Bar Sat 26…
Along the way, the Screaming Females picked up fans like Henry Rollins, Kristen Hersh, J. Mascis, rock critics Jessica Hopper, Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis and a million other people. Just last week they appeared on MTV’s It’s On With Alexa Chung! All that praise will not stop these three kids from hopping back in the van for another month long tour of the East and Midwest. They’re even throwing…
The way in which The End of the World start their “You’re Making It Come Alive†is interesting, as the interplay between the different constituent parts of the band opens up the track. The vocals actually diminish the richness of sound that “Crowded Rooms†starts listeners off with, as the vocals go forth and flatten everything behind them with an imperial hand. The early bars of “White Sands†bring The…
Swedish melancholic metallers IN MOURNING recently entered Black Lounge Studio (Scar Symmetry, Carnal Forge, Steel Attack etc.) with producer/producer Jonas Kjellgren (Carnal Forge, Centinex etc.) to begin work on the follow-up to their successful debut release Shrouded Divine. Drum tracks are already completed. Said IN MOURNING drummer Christian Netzell: “Yesterday I managed to nail all the drums for our upcoming album. I’m very pleased with how they turned out and…
A special VIP “Gold Hot Seat Package†will be available, which includes a premium ticket, limited edition ISolated INcident tour poster, Su-Fi baseball cap, and an ISolated INcident collectible laminate. After proving his star power in front of a combined live crowd of 70,000 people with two highly rated specials, “Vicious Circle†for HBO and “Rough Around the Edges†for Comedy Central, Cook reinvented himself with ‘ISolated Incident,’ where he…
The opening of “Freak Waves†seems to give a nod to the grunge rock pushed forth by bands like Soundgarden and Kyuss about fifteen years ago; the vocals present on this track are perhaps the most obvious part of this. At nearly five minutes, the repetitive guitar lines are at the verge of turning most listeners off from the CD. With “Disjointedâ€, the band seems to bring disaster on itself…
Transmission Entertainment is pleased to announce the lineup for the 2009 Fun Fun Fun Fest, taking place on November 7th and 8th at Waterloo Park in Austin. Fun Fun Fun Fest made its first appearance on a cold Friday evening in 2006, offering a unique approach to festival booking, filling stages with talent bubbling from the underground: what sounded great, and what was making an impact, regardless of what mainstream…

With the current dates going so well, Cage The Elephant are excited to announce that they are extending their run opening for Silversun Pickups through the late October. They have also confirmed new headlining dates. Cage The Elephant’s hit single “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked†continues to thrive at radio and their new single “Back Against The Wall†is rapidly being added. In addition to being featured as an…
End of a Year plays a brand of emo music that is hardened by the inclusion of a number of hardcore bands as influences for the band. This means that the band is much more close to acts like Dag Nasty than to the All-American Rejects. The vocals on tracks like “Timeshares†should remind individuals of a very young Ian MacKaye, tinged with a hint of Jello Biafra for good…

This is a disc I was given by a friend who is going out with a member of the band itself, and while there are some definitely interesting pieces to this CD, I would have to say that this is really derivative of other nu-metal bands including Linkin Park and Korn. I was told that there was a lot of shifting in the band, so I will have to see…
