Low Treble - Two-Bullet Johnny (MR)
Two-Bullet Johnny is back in town! Low Treble from Thessaloniki, Greece present the second single of their double EP project. This is some heavy and dynamic Rock music with an honest and funky twist. Turn up the volume and put that pedal to the metal! The treble may be low, but the acceleration is serious here.
Betty Benedeadly - Coyote's Fever Dream (MR)
Close your eyes and feel how Betty Benedeadly's soundscapes make you discover an environment hostile to life. The term Desert Rock cannot be described better than by this song. If you love the sounds of Enrico Morricone or Crazy Arm's second but last album "The Southern Wild", this instrumental will blow you away.
The Dead Krazukies - Go Away (MR)
This amazing Punk, Hardcore, and Crossover band from Hossegor, France revives the crazy and awesome times of early The Offspring and Rise Against. The song 'Go Away' is featured on their latest album "Icarus" (2020) and deals with our dog-eat-dog society. The Dead Krazukies screamit out loud that they don't want to stay in an environment where hate is stronger than love.
'One of these Days', originally written and performed by Pink Floyd and featured on their legendary album "Meddle" (1971) receives a beautiful cover version by international sextet Marshall Art. What may appear like a very straight cover version reveals its unique sound as the band joyfully combines Prog and Post Rock with atmospheric electronic elements.
Germany's finest Space Rock has announced their upcoming album "unknown species" to be released on December 03, this year. The first ex ante single is auditive proof that the band from Reutlingen is still progressing and that they are light years away from retiring. Thus, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for another sonic trip to outer space with crew members Hazi, Marcus, and Klaus.
Here is some Sludge, some Grunge, some sonic self-defense, and some Riot Grrrl attitude for you. Vanity Rose from the Balearic island of Mallorca have released their album "Rotten Little Thought" via Discos Marracas this week, and the song 'Push you' is a sonic flagship for everyone who loves the heavier version of the Grunge Revival.
Do you know that we could actually change the world if... well, if just... String Bone from Stratford, Ontario mentions a lot of things that could happen and that would most likely make our planet a better place to be, for us, for our children, for climate, for all life on Earth. Let the song's lines sink in and think for yourselves how we can do that. By the way, this an awesome Funk joint.
So, you love Dream Pop and Post Punk likewise? Well, then I hope, you want to check out Architrave's new album "Future Ruins", released on November 12, 2021. Jennifer Maher and Paul Coleman from Ballston Spa, New York make you dive into a deep, dark, and yet colourful world of gorgeous psychedelia and a vision of a reborn planet.
On December 03, 2021, Gomoran from Finland's capital Helsinki will release their album "Excerpts from Dark Age" via Inverse Records. Their new single 'Hopeless Endeavor' shows that the travel back in time to the Ancinet Era is a dark, gruel, and brutal ride. Thus, their somewhat melodic but definitely brachial and grooving Death Metal fits the theme perfectly.
Yes, it is that season again. People buy presents, drink glogg, bake biscuits, or think about meeting their relatives. But don't you think that something is missing? Damn right, what about Hard Rock and Heavy Metal? Fortunately, Corners of Sanctuary have provided us with the perfect album to rock around the christmas tree: here is "Rockin' the Holiday".
Arð from Northumbria, England let us travel back in time. Their album "Take up my Bones" tells the story of Saint Cuthbert who live in the seventh century. The full-length release will be out in February 2022 and remembers of a part of English history that is often forgotten. The soundscapes to carry this historic narrative fit perfectly as Arð play a gorgeous combination of Celtic Folk and Doom Metal.
Boring Girls from Montréal, Québec play Punk Rock. But that is not all because their Punk Rock is fricking amazing. The Québecois band's second EP "Bad Mammal" contains nine songs that only need fifteen minutes to tell patriarchy, capitalism, oppressive systems, and all ohter arsehole-supported realms that one message they need to hear "We're sick of your bullshit!".
Our world is sick, and so are the riffs on this album. Zitter from Sweden deal with the status quo of our home planet where toxines spread faster than cures. It appears that the world needs some serious detox, and why not try Rock'n'Roll for a cure?
