The full press release can be read below.
As part of the promotion for their 2015 album ‘Everything Is Fine’ (released 9th February), Hawk Eyes have issued a new video for ‘The Ballad of Michael McGlue’, embedded below.
A run of live dates throughout the rest of the month begins in Liverpool tomorrow night and you can also catch the band at the Takedown Fest in March.
On this five track EP Toronto born, New York based singer-songwriter Jennie Vee is set to melt the hearts and heads of those whose musical tastes hark back to the early-mid nineties. Maybe not those who reminisce about plaid shirts and muddy fields and blonde unshaven men with a glassy stare, but those who hold fond memories of seeing the faces of Tanya Donelly and Miki Berenyi gazing blankly and unobtainably from the pages of NME. Vee’s recordings hark back to a time when Frank Black and Kim Deal liked each other (okay, so maybe there was never such a time); a time when you got excited about that next 12” single from Chapterhouse; when Ride were kings of their own UK kingdom and The Jesus and Mary Chain wanted you to venture under ‘April Skies’.
As part of the promotion for their 2015 full-length ‘Labotomized’, Greek thrash metal outfit Biotoxic Warfare have released a video for the track ‘Proclaim The Gospel of Lies’.
The track is a great old school thrash affair, almost guaranteed to please fans of ‘Beneath The Remains’ era Sepultura. Check out the video below.
US punks Swingin’ Utters are heading to Europe at the end of February for a run of dates promoting their 2014 LP ‘Fistful of Hollow’. Support is supplied by punk pop band ToyGuitar whose self-titled EP was released via Adeline Records in 2013.
