Cutthroat have released their new video ‘Wrong Road’. The song is taken from the album ‘Fear By Design’ which was released today via Demons Run Amok Entertainment.
Bankrupt have released their sixth album, Illiberal Holiday together with a music video for the title track.
The band’s hilariously scathing criticism of Hungary’s illiberal regime displayed by the 3 viral singles preceding the album has already earned them over half a million views on YouTube in just a few months’ time. The title track continues the series with a take on the serious environmental damage caused by the country’s political elite.

The album also features the song The Plane to Toronto, written in 2021 in support of their former singer Michael innocently imprisoned in China. The song received news coverage both in Canada and Hungary, contributing to a campaign led by Michael’s ex-wife Vina, which finally achieved his liberation.
ColourMind’s brand new single “Wish It Was” is consistent with the alternative punk direction the group are headed in, while offering enough deviation to keep things interesting. The thick guitars, pounding drums, rumbling bass and angst-ridden vocal performance hit the listener with a cathartic range of emotions.
Here, ColourMind are again inspired by bands such as Blink-182, Green Day, Rise Against and Sum 41, but inject some melodic metal lead and solo work into the established major-key soundscape.
Thematically, the song deals with the need to gain a sense of belonging. Wanting to leave your hometown is an age-old tale in the pop punk genre, but here the metaphors and imagery flesh out the co-dependency that prompts you to stay.
In summary, “Wish It Was” is a pop punk song with metal elements, searing with emotion that hits you right in the feels. The band’s successful blend of punk influences and metal lead work is poised to please those who are fans of both styles.
ColourMind’s line-up consists of:
Jimmy Watson – lead vox/guitar
Jonny Essiech – backing vox/guitar
Reg King – backing vox/bass
Matt Wenke – backing vox/drums
