Dead Dog Summer započinju novu godinu uz novi singl i lyrics video za stvar Scars koja najavljuje njihov drugi album koji je planiran za kraj ove godine.
Nakon uspješnog prvog albuma A Place of Someday koji je izašao u rujnu 2022. prvo kao digitalno izdanje na Geenger Records, a kasnije i kao vinil u svibnju 2023., bend nastavlja svoj put s novim stvarima i koncertnom promocijom.
Dead Dog Summer dolaze iz Čakovca, Hrvatske, osnovani su krajem 2020. godine, a bend čine Igor Bistrović (vokal i gitara), Krešo Žerjav (bass i vokal) i Boris Strahija (bubnjevi).
Do sada je bend odsvirao mnoštvo koncerata po Hrvatskoj, Sloveniji, Mađarskoj i Srbiji, a nastupili su i na Exit Festivalu i Rocklive.
„Scars je stvar koja je ustvari nastala možda tamo pred 25 godina kao ideja kad su Krešo i Igor imali bend Britney’ s Pierce, ali pošto taj bend nikada ništa nije snimio odlučili smo ukrasti glazbu za ovu stvar i napisati novi tekst jer se starih nitko više nije sjećao.
Scars je pjesma o odrastanju i životu, o nečemu što smo prošli i što nas je obilježilo, označilo, ali i o tome da ako to gledamo kao traumu i zamjeramo, nikada nećemo krenuti dalje i živjeti u tom začaranom krugu i živjeti jedan te isti život. Naravno da je lakše i najsigurnije ostati na mjestu i čekati da se stvari same promjene, ali to se ne događa…“
Scars ima i svoj lyrics video na kojem su koristili snimke s koncerata u Mariboru, Budimpešti, Karlovcu i Novom Sadu.
Stvar je dostupna na svim digitalnim servisima, a lyrics video na njihovom YouTube kanalu i društvenim mrežama.
New music video Release from punk-post-hardcore band ADVERSE96 for “Destinies” is out now !
This is the second smusic video that is officially released from their fresh released full length album ‘Clear The Lane’ that came out on October 26th2023.
Adverse96 about this song: ‘The song basically talks about people who are on the autistic spectrum and their daily struggle to deal with other people around. The lyrics may apply to other topics nonetheless and pretty much everyone should be able to personally relate to it. Frontman Laurent is personally concerned with the topic and shot the whole video by himself during an introspective roadtrip in Canada during November 2023’.
Welsh post-hardcore heavyweights Casey have unveiled new single ‘Selah’, the final glimpse of their new album, How to Disappear, to be released 12th January via Hassle Records.
Vocalist Tom Weaver comments: “This song was actually named by Liam [Torrance, guitar]; it was a word that I wasn’t familiar with, but I think it fits the song perfectly. ‘Selah’ is “an expression occurring frequently in the Psalms, thought to be a liturgical or musical direction, probably a direction to raise the voice or perhaps an indication of a pause”. I’ve had a turbulent relationship with religion throughout most of my life. I’ve always comfortably considered myself an agnostic, but in moments of desperation I’ve definitely sought out reassurance from a being outside of myself. My overwhelming feeling towards religion is that at its best it provides a sense of belonging and community; and at its worst it serves to absolve accountability. In moments of crisis, I’ve often posed that question of “If you’re there, why are you doing this to me?. ‘Selah’ articulates that question with examples from my life. Near-death experiences or moments of pain that feel as though they shouldn’t happen beneath the benevolent gaze of something greater.“
Casey will be taking the album on a host of UK, European, Australian and North American tour dates in 2024:

The new album caps off a joyous return for the quintet, reuniting in 2023, with seven huge shows in the UK and Germany, and the limited release of their 7” Atone/Great Grief (Hassle Records).
Casey, at its core, was grounded in the notion that music is a labour of love. Without expectation of success, without desire to attain stardom, just a shared yearning to create music – and when this no longer rang true Casey stayed true to themselves, and stepped away.
In late 2018, when Casey announced they were bringing the band to a close, it felt like a premature demise. Their first two LPs – 2016 Love Is Not Enough and 2018’s Where I Go When I Am Sleeping – had firmly established the Welsh five-piece as one of the most exciting bands in Britain’s alternative scene.
Now, years later, the band have returned – bigger and better than ever before. Casey don’t just replicate the feelings that inspire them – they embody them.
