Spacebomb House Band & Deau Eyes reimagine Send Me No Roses with new single!

The latest release in the Spacebomb House Band collaboration series brings Richmond-based artist Deau Eyes into the fold with a cover of “Send Me No Roses,” a song first recorded in 1965 by Wanda Jackson and made famous by Tammy Wynette two years later.

 “It’s unabashedly a straight up nod to Sly Stone’s ‘Just Like A Baby,'” says Spacebomb House Band’s bassist and producer Cameron Ralston about the new version. “Kind of a spaced cowboy thing where we took this classic old country song and just kinda stoned it out a little, dirtied it up a bit. Very un-precious, raw, and off the cuff. Minimalist in instrumentation yet maximalist in sound and groove.”

Deau Eyes is Ali Thibodeau, a Richmond, Virginia-born and raised singer and songwriter. Her debut album Let It Leave was recorded at Trace Horse Studios in Nashville with longtime friends and co-producers Jacob Blizard and Collin Pastore, whose creative efforts show up on records by Lucy Dacus and illuminati hotties, among others.

 Thibodeau says of the collaboration: “Right around the time Spacebomb sent me this studio magic, I’d received flowers from an ex I’d been longing over for four years. It was as if the ghost of Tammy Wynette was giving me a little nudge to feel my feelings in order to move forward. Classic country music has always felt like home to me and being asked to perform a new take on it with these guys is a real honor.”

 This new release follows last month’s release of the Erin Rae and Spacebomb House Band collaboration, “Back in Baby’s Arms,” which you can listen to here.

Insammer drop official music video for new song – Vampires!

Vampires’ by INSAMMER, is out now and available for streaming and downloading on all major platforms. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming third full-length album, due in November 2021. The video for “Vampires” is available via YouTube. Directed by famous Turkish director Can Katipzade, the clip features frontwoman Vika in the role of a super-agent on a mission somewhere around the drug dealer’s mafia (starring all band members).

Vika says: ‘Vampires’ is a very strong but yet very passionate track. Throughout the pandemic, me and Dennis were writing a lot of dark, philosophic meaning songs. We tried to write openly about the ups and downs of our lives. All of us are living in a world of illusions and lies, we betray and kill each other just to get a wealthy life. ‘Vampires’ is not a single about medieval horror blood stories but about everyday life with all the sh*t we face on TV, Internet, magazines. Powerful riffs, heavy guitars and head crashing drums”.

From the well balanced production and creative instrumentation, to the impressive vocal performance, fans of INSAMMER, as well as those who appreciate new music, will definitely want to hear this single.

INSAMMER is one of Sweden’s most promising metal bands, combining dark, pulsating Nordic grooves with Eastern European lyricism and melodic romanticism. Their live shows throb with emotional energy; Vika’s voice ranges from a whisper to a full-throated growl, melding with the instruments as verses explode into churning, hypnotic choruses and pounding, crowd-mesmerizing riffs. The group calls their sound transfusion metal, a heavy mixture of alternative rock and nu metal, which evokes the shifting musical styles and feelings that pour over them and infuse their performances.

The band was created in Stockholm by vocalist Vika and guitarist Dennis Wise, whose collaboration began at a music institute in Uppsala, Sweden. The name InSammer was inspired by The Door Into Summer, a science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein. The current lineup also features virtuoso guitarist Oleg Izotov, bassist Nikita Simonov, and world-class drummer Alex Karpukhin.

InSammer released two full length albums Numbers as Victims (2014) and Seeds (2018). In 2021 the band is working in the studio on a new yet untitled album. Before a new album release the band made a groovy classical rock Secret Service cover Flash in the Night and a new single Endless Sky.
