UK alt-rockers Dead Wolf Club are back. They’ve got a double A-sided single out on Big Tea Records/Scene Not Heard in a couple of weeks (as part of Big Tea’s wintertime threesome) featuring tracks from ‘RAR’ and ‘Healer’, but more importantly are also about to enter the studio to record a new album.

VOICE OF ADDICTION – Modern Day Meltdown EP
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.
New track streaming from Silver Arm
Earlier in 2014, Big Tea signings Silver Arm released their debut EP, the excellent ‘He of the Slow Creep’ [review here].

ST. JAMES & THE APOSTLES – Via Delarosa
On ‘Via Delarosa’, the third release from Philadelphian blues rockers St. James & The Apostles, their heavy guitar and organ driven sound ensures plenty of old style chops are at the forefront of almost everything, allowing listeners with a retro ear a chance to really let their hair down. In terms of grittiness, the analogue sound of this LP’s ten heavy rollers just couldn’t be improved: if you like music to have a live in the studio feel, then look no further…
GAY ELVIS – Has Left The Building EP
Gay Elvis is the long-serving bassist with New Jersey based alt-rock/power pop band Readymade Breakup. In between work with that band, he’s tinkered with extra-curricular recordings, the first fruits of which surfaced as a free download track ‘Morning Cigarette’ in 2012. Since then, he’s embraced fatherhood. Various songwriting sessions since then yielded the bones some thirty or so songs, but by the musician’s own admission, those songs tackled the same topics repeatedly – how it sucks to grow up, how growing up can turn you into a loser and ultimately how growing up is inevitable…and cool. No matter how the tunes sounded, the sentiments were always pre-occupied with maturity. In this sense, he had hoped that his solo release would “be [his] ‘Pet Sounds’ or ‘Abbey Road’”. Things don’t always turn out as planned and after shelving lots of incomplete material for a later convenience, the result is this three song EP. Judging by these songs, it’s a shame we didn’t get just a little bit more…
