I love Australian underground scene. It is far away on the other side of the globe, but the music unites us in a wonderful way. This time, I listened and reviewed for our zine the debut album by Press Club.
Hailing from Melbourne, Press Club released a strong debut record containing 11 songs. The music they play could be put into melodic pop punk, but they have so much more influences in their music, from indie to even noise. The musicianship is tight and the record is marked by strong vocals, courtesy of singer Natalie. Lyrically, Press Club heads into personal territory, but they also raise some socially aware subjects if you read through the lines. In all, we are dealing here with one hell of a strong debut. Top songs on the record for me: Headwreck(check out the video), Ignorance, Trading Punches.
The day has finally come! We could not be more stoked to share with you a brand new Teenage Bottlerocket song. Head to Spotifyand listen to “I Wanna Be a Dog,” your first taste from TBR’s ripping new full-length, Stay Rad! Recorded at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, produced by longtime collaborator Andrew Berlin, and mixed by Jason Livermore, the band’s eighth studio album will be released on March 15th.
Digital pre-orders are also available today and come with the added bonus of ONE “instant grat” track. Head to Bandcamp, iTunes, and most other digital stores to get it. Then, be sure to catch TBR playing all their hits live on tour. For all the dates and info, head here!
Uppsala, Sweden’s metalcore five-piece ACIDIUN released their full-length debut album The Coalescencein September last year. Teaming up with Prog-Sphere.com, the band is launching a music video for the song “Insight” taken from the mentioned release.
Commented the band: “The lyrics of ‘Insight’ represent the aftermath of one’s decision when you realize what you’ve done and you’re left with the consequences. In the album’s storyline the protagonist is dealing with his thoughts after committing to a murder. Shooting this video was so much fun since we just did what we normally do when we hit the stage… We go out with full energy and have the best of times. This video truly captures Acidiun and our will to just headbang and give it our all.”
The Coalescenceis a concept album about a fictive character with a deranged mind, coping with the opposing forces in his head. Two singles — “Urges” and “Burn Bright” — were launched prior the release.
