Newman says, “Free Born” is the title track off our upcoming EP releasing in the Fall. This is one of the more aggressive tunes I’ve written. I suppose I lend that feel to the circumstances under which the song came to life. I was touring solo across the western US. After hundreds of miles through the desert and a dozen shows in, I jotted the lyrics down in a hotel parking lot somewhere between Phoenix and El Paso. The narrative in the lyric paints a picture of a modern-day outlaw running for his life. It mirrored the harsh conditions that can plague you on the road and a general feeling of freedom while still being haunted by something that lies in dirt and dust of miles left behind. It set the tone for the rest of the EP.”

The track was recorded at Leeds Recording and 11 Productions Nashville.
Produced and Mixed by Tim Creedon of 11 Productions and Mastered by Jason Elgin of Synchromesh Studios.

Elijah Newman & The SideEffects have some festivals coming up this summer and in the fall, including The FEST in Florida, and short-run tours planned in July and August.

(record review)THE MONSTER ONES-“Bat Thunder”

You know, dear reader, that the love between us, the makers of this webzine and horrorpunk is everlasting and will never die! So, this time we present you THE MONSTER ONES, horrorpunk band from Palma De Mallorca, Spain. I listened and reviewed their new album for this webzine.

Existing since 2008.this Spaniards mix their vision of horrorpunk with glam rock, rockabilly and deathrock influences in their music, but fuck it, it´s mainly horrorpunk. These four guys and one girl delivered a real powerhouse of the album with tight musicianship, strong songs and not sounding like anyone´s clone and that is often a problem within horrorpunk scene. The album contains 11 songs with the titles like “Slasher” or “Body Snatchers” you just can´t go wrong! This music is not for the fans of straightforward simple in your face horrorpunk like The Misfits or Blitzkid, this is tougher, rocking horrorpunk made for wrecking with spilled beer all over you and another beer in your fist! “Funnel of Love” is cover by Wanda Jackson and the singer Cecile did a really wonderful job with her strong but melodic voice and she reminded me a bit of Krista Kat from Silver Shine. This is a good album, so support the guys and write them a line or two and buy their album if you are a fan of such music!

(record review)Dead Girls Academy-“Alchemy”(Victory Records)

June 9, 2018 vladkraykulla 1 Comment

The story behind Dead Girls Academy is an exceptional one. It is a story about endurance, spite, learning to live again and to cope and it is very inspirational and makes you wanna get out in the morning and shout out to life, being alive and enjoying the music. I listened and reviewed this record for this webzine and it was very emotional for me. The record is out on Victory Records.

Michael Orlando lived in Los Angeles, had a band, toured and lived a rock ´n´roll lifestyle what many young people in his years only could desire. Then, a highway bus accident took his life. He died but lived. Brief death was an experience that marked him.

Three years of endurance, reconstructive surgery went by, with only one dream, to play again. Michael and his best friend Ronnie Radke (Falling In Reverse) formed new band, Dead Girls Academy and made an album. This is it. The album contains 11 songs of darkened melodic punkrock, vampiric punkrock if you want it that way. Growing up in Hollywood, Michael Orlando saw a lot of weird stuff, so there is no lack of inspiration lyricwise. Also, the album is in my opinion one great catharsis and showdown with his inner demons and all it took to endure what he endured. I enjoyed this album so much! From “I´ll find a way” to “I can´t feel a thing” this is so dark but uplifting. The mixture of melody, punkrock energy, gothic darkness and glammy sweat is what makes this album special. I always listen to the whole record when I do a review for this webzine and listening to this record was a unique experience and Michael´s work and this band and music is a continuing inspiration for me and this webzine.
