The Brains are back with brand new full length record. Canadian cult psychobilly band led by frontman Rene De La Muerte has been in the scene for a long time and between the new duty as drummer for legendary Nekromantix and other projects, Rene found time for new record with The Brains. What I always loved about this band is that they are pretty melodic and somewhat melancholic besides energetic, and Rene´s vocals fit perfectly to the melancholy I am talking about. The new songs vary from slower more psychobilly rock`n roll songs to faster stuff that and I can only imagine what the new material sound like live. The title songs is cool, they also made a video for that one, starring Daniel from Rezurex if I am not mistaken, so check that out too. Other songs from the record that I somehow recommend as highlights are Hellhounds, Come By My Side and Lonely Wednesday. Great album by great band.
Hotel Murder were already featured on the pages of our zine with their great music. This time they released new single called Need A Change. This is the second single from the forthcoming e.p.
The concept behind this song and art is of a serial killer on a late night drug and alcohol fueled bender fighting the urge to kill again, who winds up getting killed in the end by his own drug dealer.
Quebecois Skatepunks Mark & The Wolves have announced that they’ve joined Thousand Islands Records with plans of releasing a new EP called “Lost For Words”.
