London alternative rock / punk group Drones have released a new video ‘Anchors’, the fourth single from their album ‘Exiled’, which was released on Lockjaw Records earlier this year.
According to the United Nations, 1,651,661 refugees have fled their home countries and risked their lives traveling across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe since 2015. At least 14,000 have died or are missing.
These troubling figures inspired Drones to write ‘Anchors’. Their album ‘Exiled’ offers a direct commentary on the current refugee crisis, which Drones have continued in their video for ‘Anchors’.
Following the release of their sophomore record ‘Exiled’ earlier this year, in October Drones released a handful of rarer versions of album tracks: ‘Exiled B-Sides’. The new digital EP includes live versions, acoustic reworkings and an unreleased track.
Drummer, Mitchell Thomas explains: “We’ve been blown away with the response from Exiled and wanted to give a little something extra to those who have been enjoying the record. Exiled: B-Sides features an acoustic rendition of ‘Territories’, as well as live versions of ‘Rorschach’ and ‘Inferno’ that we recorded at the SAE Institute in Amsterdam while on tour last April.”
‘Exiled B-Sides’ is available to download with every physical copy of ‘Exiled’ purchased via the Drones webstore: https://drones.tmstor.es/.
Italy has always been a very fertile ground for good punkrock and hardcore bands and this time I listened the new Dead Uns record which came out on Indelirium Records. Read the review here!
What do Dead Uns play? On this record you can find five songs of melodic punkrock. What is new to that? Nothing new. But, the one thing that in my mind sets Dead Uns apart from many similar bands is the atmosphere. I still get goosebumps after listening to some bands and this one is one of those. What also sets this band apart from others is the singer`s voice. That dude sings his heart out and has such a beautiful voice, harsh yet melodic and he can express all the emotions of the music with his voice. Add to that great melodic songs, you get a decent record for your pleasure. The lyrics are in English language and as I understood while listening they are mostly personal. The songs I love the most on this record are: Cold Winds and Hands Off This Land.
PESTE is the union of musicians taken from the italian underground scene. A new punk/hardcore project with members of Tutti I Colori Del Buio, Haram, If I Die Today and Papazeta. The quartet will release a self-titled EP via This Is Core during the next year. Violence, negativity and hate against mankind are the keywords for describe their work. In their fast five pieces Peste deal with the brutal horror hidden inside of everyone soul, the human ability of destroying everything all around without no remorse remaining a slave of fear till death. A truly daily and deeply nightmare inside every human being.
