Indie rock songsmith Jon Snodgrass will be releasing a new album on March 29th, entitled Barge At Will, which is named after an old-school skateboarding culture saying. In support of the album, Snodgrass will be covering ground throughout the East Coast, Midwest, and Canada (dates below). Limited edition vinyl is now available for preorder in the USA via the Snod Store as well as SBAM Records in Europe and Thousand Island Records in both Australia and Canada.

Barge At Will was recorded, mixed, and mastered at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO. Also, Bill Stevenson played drums and bass on the entire album. In addition, a few of Snodgrass’ buddies including Chris Wollard (Hot Water Music), Chris Cresswell (The Flatliners, Hot Water Music), Peter “JR” Wasilewski (Less Than Jake), and Scott Reynolds (ALL) made contributions to a few songs.

From not having a Plan B (“Tried & True”) to being the opposite of outdoorsy (“Pre-Teen Wolf”) to scheduling shows around the Colorado Rockies’ schedule (“Crunchin’ The Numbers”) to a song written about Bremen, Germany while on tour (“Bremen Town”) – Barge At Will is about doing your best at the moment because life is shorter than you think.

Jon Snodgrass is a founding member of Armchair MartianDrag The River, and supergroup Scorpios. Also, he has made records with Frank Turner, Cory Branan, and Joey Cape, and is a senior class alum of The Revival Tour. In addition, he has toured with Flogging Molly, Frank Turner, Justin Townes Earle, Chuck Ragan, The White Buffalo, Cory Branan, Skinny Lister, Lenny Lashley, Joey Cape, Tony Sly, Northcote, Chris Wollard & The Ship Thieves, Chris Cresswell, and Mike Herrera.

Barge At Will will be released on March 29th to coincide with opening day of the 2024 Major League Baseball season. Limited edition blue vinyl as well as black vinyl is now available for preorder.

Mean Jeans Drops New Single! Punkrock at its finest!

Mean Jeans, kicks off FAT 2024 by blurring reality’s lines with their latest single, “Something’s Going On.” Available on all streaming platforms today, this track is your one-way ticket to a mutant party, courtesy of a nuclear power plant spill and some seriously contaminated pot plants.

Vocalist and guitarist Billy Jeans shares, “If ever there were a movie made for the Mean Jeans, it would be Class of Nuke’ Em High (1986). If you don’t know it, the lyrics to “Something’s Going On” are pretty much a synopsis. A nuclear power plant spill contaminates some pot plants, the honors students turn into a psycho punk gang called The Cretins, and those who smoke the toxic weed get majorly mutated. Watch the film and jam our homage!”

So, grab your popcorn, roll a radioactive reefer, and stream it now. Their upcoming full-length, Blasted, drops on February 9th and is available for pre-order!

Gothic Rock / Heavy Metal Sensation Lesbian Bed Death Signs With Wormholedeath

Uk Gothic rock/metal phenomenon Lesbian Bed Death has officially joined forces with Wormholedeath for the release of their thrilling new album “Midnight Lust,” slated to drop on March 1st, 2024.
Lesbian Bed Death is a Gothic Punk / Heavy Metal band from Stoke-on-Trent, UK. Blending their love of Horror movies and aesthetics with raucous riffage, gothic undertones, and insanely catchy choruses, Lesbian Bed Death has been tearing up the underground for some time.Following the inclusion of their newest lead singer, JJ, in February 2023, Lesbian Bed Death has reached new heights with a successful UK tour, jaw-dropping new music videos, and now, their finest album yet, Midnight Lust.
About Midnight Lust
Horror, Love, Sex, Death, Passion, Empowerment, and Fun are the key ingredients of this new album, providing a rollercoaster of excitement, emotions, and entertainment. The band wants to take their fans on an unforgettable journey, and with this cohesive collection of songs, they continue to both spark the imagination and get the dance floors moving.Midnight Lust is effectively the twin sister of the previous album, The Witching Hour, as both were produced by Steve Lethal and Dan Peach with the pair taking on the majority of the writing. With Midnight Lust, the band decided to take the band in an overall more ‘Heavy Metal’ direction, with a focus on crushing, dark riffs.Lyrically, there are stories told, such as in the title track ‘Maria’ and ‘Horrors of the Crown Hotel’, songs with a dark, personal touch about mental health and personal reflection such as ‘Your Love Makes Everything Worse’ and ‘The Woman Who Drinks Tears’, and full-on party anthems like ‘Satanic Suicide Sex Cult’ and ‘Reykjavik Nights’. There is also a song about Art the Clown from the Terrifier movies (Art of Terror).
Midnight Lust has everything a fan would expect from a Lesbian Bed Death album and more. It’s a mix of Goth, Punk, and Heavy Metal, with killer choruses and a few surprises. You could call it “LBD-XTRA”.
Meet the Band:
Dan Peach – Rhythm Guitar
Aimee Violet – Drums
Leisl Heath – Bass
JJ – Vocals
Steve Lethal – Lead Guitars, Synths, and Additional Rhythm Guitars
