Ten years on from the release of their debut LP and some seven hundred live shows later, Chicago punkers Voice of Addiction show absolutely no sign of getting stale on their sixth release ‘Modern Day Meltdown’. Its four songs showcase a tough musical style and some rousing choruses, as well as stretching a punky base to allow for a few broader sounding musical passages along the way. There’s absolutely no indifference within the ranks here; Voice of Addiction set out to grab their listeners from the very first notes…and then keep them.
Earlier in 2014, Big Tea signings Silver Arm released their debut EP, the excellent ‘He of the Slow Creep’ [review here].
We’re now reaching the end of a great year for music and Silver Arm have returned! You can now stream their new track – courtesy of Big Tea Records – in full below.
Queen Chief are an alt-rock band led by Justin Lien, a young musician with Native American and Germanic/Nordic roots. Their debut EP throws the listener in at the deep end with a particularly grand approach. It’s a concept release bringing (in the band’s own words) “a brutally honest, heavy rocking representation of life in the Northwestern United States’ low income suburbs and Native American reservations”. No messing there. Just as direct as the attitude driving the band, the tunes themselves pack a huge punch throughout – most carrying a weighty riff; each riff then given a huge send off courtesy of King Black Acid member and producer Daniel Riddle. The resultant sounds, resting somewhere between post-grunge and a hybrid of psychedelic blues, all come with plenty of volume – even if played quietly – and just as much attitude.
Legendary US skate punks Pennywise are back on the road in January, playing shows across the US in support of their 2014 release ‘Yesterdays’.
All confirmed shows are listed below. Suppoert comes from Anti-Flag and A Wilhelm Scream. There are no plans for the band to visit Europe at this time.
