Am 31. August veröffentlichen BETONTOD ihr neues Studioalbum „VAMOS!“, das in der Deluxe-Edition inklusive der Bonus-CD „Trinkhallen Hits Vol.1“ erscheint. Vorab erscheint am 3. August die zweite Single „Boxer“, zu dem die fünf Punk Rocker jüngst einen originellen Videoclip mit Star-Beteiligung gedreht haben. Tatort war die „Ritze“ in Hamburg, wo Betontod Sänger Oliver Meister gegen Profiboxer Graciano „Rocky“ Rocchigiani in den Ring steigen durfte und ordentlich vermöbelt wurde. „Der Oliver hat ein großes Herz und hat nicht gekniffen“, freut sich der Welt- und Europameister. „Der Song gefällt mir sehr gut, ich hab dabei sogar ein wenig Gänsehaut bekommen“.

Eine Vorschau zum Video mit kurzen Making-Of gibt es hier:https://youtu.be/CwG6N5e3xLU

Da es bei BETONTOD gerne auch mal etwas mehr sein darf, haben sich die fünf Vollblutmusiker noch einen Bonus für ihre treuen Fans ausgedacht und legen der Erstauflage von »VAMOS!« noch eine zweite CD bei.

Alles Songs, die jeder kennt, aber so hat man sie noch nie gehört und wir können endlich sagen: So kann man sie endlich auch einmal anhören! Die »Trinkhallen Hits Vol.1« werden auf jeden Fall aufregen, begeistern und es wird darüber zu reden sein. Auch auf der kommenden »VAMOS! Tour« werden diese Songs nicht zu kurz kommen und es wird definitiv einen kleinen Abstecher in die 70er und 80er geben! BETONTOD nehmen alle mit in diese geile Zeit!

BLACK PEAKS – NEUER SONG online, Album „ALL THAT DIVIDES“ erscheint am 05.10. bei Rise Records

Heute veröffentlicht das Brightoner Quartett BLACK PEAKS seine brandneue Single "Electric Fires"! Es ist nach "Can't Sleep" 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNjxir3LzIQ

und "Home"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNjxir3LzIQ

 bereits der dritte Track in diesem Jahr, das neue Album "All That Devides" erscheint am 5. Oktober bei Rise Records / BMG.

"Electric Fires"-Stream https://blackpeaks.lnk.to/ATDPR

Frontmann Will Gardner dazu:

"Electric Fires was one of the first songs we wrote for All That Divides, and was one that had a few live outings towards the end of the Status tour. The song in many ways is one of our most straight-forward. Lyrically the song is a bit of a sarcastic comment on the beliefs of certain conspiracy theorists, Flat-Earthers etc. Essentially we just had fun with that idea, and wrote a song about how our Alien forefathers came here from Mars at the dawn of civilisation to build the pyramids, which, of course, 100% totally happened. Stay woke, kids.

Lyrically at least, this album represents the fear of a future where freedom is restricted. Over the last two years, we as a band have been incredibly lucky to have been able to travel accross Europe and play our music. The fact this happened to take place during a period where various political changes, at home and abroad, made us focus a lot about the freedom and right to travel. We have seen people, families, relationships and countries divided by conflict and political upheaval, and our reaction to this is a core lyrical theme running through the album."

"All That Divides" wurde von GRAMMY-Gewinner Adrian Bushby (Muse, Foo Fighters) produziert und kann hier vorbestellt werden. Es ist der Nachfolger des 2016er Debütalbums "Statues".

Tracklist:

01. Can't Sleep

02. The Midnight Sun

03. Electric Fires

04. Aether

05. Across The Great Divide

06. Home

07. Eternal Light

08. Slow Seas

09. Fate I & II

Im Oktober werden BLACK PEAKS außerdem Headline-Shows in Europa spielen - dreimal auch in Deutschland:

24.10.2018: Köln - MTC

25.10.2018: Hamburg - Molotow Sky Bar

29.10.2018: München - Kranhalle

Critically-acclaimed California based band Deafheaven unveil their new music video for “Night People” directed by Ben Chisholm. The song features singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe and is taken from their highly acclaimed fourth studio album Ordinary Human Corrupt Love (July 13 on Anti- Records). Pitchfork hailed the album as "a different kind of transcendence” in their Best New Music review.

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “NIGHT PEOPLE (FT. CHELSEA WOLFE)” NOW

https://youtu.be/LdeDlgKjtYU

Known for their transcendent live show, Deafheaven, have announced touring plans for the rest of the year. The band is currently wrapping up a North American headlining and will head to UK/EU with Inter Arma as support inSeptember. Please see below for the full list of dates:

Formed in San Francisco in 2010, Deafheaven made their debut with 2011’s Roads To Judah and had an unexpected crossover hit with their 2013 sophomore effort Sunbather. Along with being praised as “one of the best albums of the year” by Stereogum, their third album New Bermuda was hailed as “a brilliant collision of beauty and despair” in Pitchfork’s Best New Music review.

Working again with producer Jack Shirley, Deafheaven have expanded their heavy, kinetic sound to bring in layered psychedelic vocals, jazz-inspired percussion, and intricate piano melodies. Ordinary Human Corrupt Love takes its title from Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair, reflecting a theme of hazy, yearning romanticism threaded throughout the album.

“unforgivingly epic” – Q Magazine, UK (4/5)

 “the honest sound of who Deafheaven are (..) their fourth- and best album "  - Kerrang, UK (4/5)

“Deafheaven have not just made one of the best metal albums in recent memory, they’ve made one of the best albums of the decade, full stop” – The Quietus

"If ‘Ordinary Corrupt Human Love was an oil painting, it would belong to the masterpieces of romanticism: Deafheaven have released their best record yet" – Visions, DE (Album of the Month)

“Ordinary Corrupt Human Love is the band’s masterpiece” – Intro, DE (Album of the Month) 

“perfectly coherent”- MyRock, FR (Album of the Month).

JUSTIN COURTNEY PIERRE  - Motion City Soundtrack Frontmann veröffentlicht am 12.10. sein Solo Album (Epitaph)

JUSTIN COURTNEY PIERRE ANNOUNCES DEBUT SOLO RECORD IN THE DRINK

Out October 12th on Epitaph

Motion City Soundtrack frontman Justin Courtney Pierre has announced the upcoming release of his debut solo record In The Drink. The record will be released via Epitaph Records on October 12.

Today via Billboard, Pierre shares the lead single and title track from In The Drink—an urgent and bouncy, guitar-fueled pop song built on Pierre’s classically quirky but heartfelt lyrics. Directed by award-winning filmmaker Shane Rock Nelson, the video for “In The Drink” follows Pierre as he fends off shadowy, cheeseburger zombie-like figures in the woods of his native Minnesota.

Check out “In The Drink” by Justin Courtney Pierre at Billboard: https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8467950/justin-courtney-pierre-motion-city-soundtrack-in-the-drink

Produced by Motion City Soundtrack guitarist Joshua Cain, In The Drink finds Pierre at his most unfiltered, embracing everything from anthemic pop to moodier and more darkly charged material. Pierre plays all instruments on the album except for drums, which are performed by David Jarnstrom (Gratitude, BNLX).

This fall, Pierre will embark on a U.S. tour in support of In The Drink. Kicking off on November 1 in Chicago, the tour wraps up on December 9 in Seattle. For on sale information, visit http://www.justincourtneypierre.com/.

JUSTIN COURTNEY PIERRE – IN THE DRINK – TRACK LISTING

1. Undone

2. Anchor

3. I Don't Know Why She Ran Away

4. Moonbeam

5. Ready Player One

6. I'm a Liar

7. Sooner

8. Shoulder the Weight

9. In The Drink

10. Goodnight Hiroyuki

In 1997 Pierre co-founded Motion City Soundtrack, the widely celebrated rock band whose last album Panic Stations hit the Billboard 200. Although Pierre had initially planned to focus on domestic life after the band went on hiatus in 2016, he soon felt compelled to revisit the hundreds of voice memos, lyrical scribblings, and melody ideas he’d compiled since age seven. “There is a part of me that just needs to make stuff, so with whatever free time I had I’d be writing and then I’d clean the house and then I’d write some more,” Pierre recalls.

Recorded sporadically over the course of seven months, In The Drink was self-funded and a true labor of love. “I wanted to make a record that sounded like the kind of albums I listened to as a teenager in the early ’90s, and I think we succeeded and failed in exactly the right ways,” says Pierre.

MARC RIBOT  - neuer Song THE MILITANT ECOLOGOST online

REVEALS NEW SONG “THE MILITANT ECOLOGIST” FEAT. MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO, LISTEN + WATCH JEM COHEN-DIRECTED VISUALIZER HERE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKpDsBZVGQE&index=2&list=PLgz-f0h_kkS4iu...

NEW ANTI- TRUMP ALBUM ‘SONGS OF RESISTANCE 1942 – 2018’ OUT SEPTEMBER 14 VIA ANTI- RECORDS

11 TRACKS OF COVERS AND ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS FEATURE GUEST VOCALISTS TOM WAITS, STEVE EARLE, MESHELL NDEGEOCELLO, FAY VICTOR + MORE

 On his new album Songs of Resistance 1942 – 2018, acclaimed guitarist Marc Ribot set out to assemble a set of songs that spoke to this political moment with appropriate ambition, passion, and fury. Ribot began working on Songs of Resistance – coming out September 14 on ANTI- Records - at the end of 2016 as a response not just to the American elections but to the political trends he was seeing around the world.

“I am alarmed by Trump and the movement he’s part of,” he says. “I’ve spent a good chunk of my life running around the world on tour—I’m kind of an accidental internationalist—and I see that he’s not an isolated phenomenon. And if we don’t deal with what is going on, it is going to deal with us.”

Today Ribot has revealed the new song “The Militant Ecologist” featuring Meshell Ndegeocello, a modern re-purposing of the popular Italian resistance song “Fischia il Vento”. Renowned punk rock filmmaker Jem Cohen has also made a visualizer for the song featuring a green-tinged New York City skyline with a flag whipping in the wind that can be seen HERE; listen to “The Militant Ecologist” HERE.

For their new take, Ribot and Ndegeocello changed the male partisan fighter in the original song to a woman fighting to stop global warming. “We changed the gender in our version and the flag at the end is green,” Ribot explained of his and Ndegeocello’s take on the song and visuals. “But Meshell projects the persona of a resistance fighter going on a mission perfectly: ‘strong her heart, and swift her arm to strike.”

The eleven songs on the record include a few original compositions as well as traditional songs that are drawn from World War II anti-Fascist Italian partisans, the U.S. civil rights movement and Mexican protest ballads. It also features a wide range of guest vocalists, including Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Meshell Ndegeocello, Justin Vivian Bond, Fay Victor, Ohene Cornelius and Sam Amidon.

Over a forty-year career, Ribot has released twenty-five albums under his own name and been a beacon of New York’s downtown/experimental music scene, leading a series of bands including Los Cubanos Postizos and Ceramic Dog. Since his work with Tom Waits on 1985’s Rain Dogs album, though, he is best known to the world as a sideman, playing on countless albums by the likes of Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Norah Jones, the Black Keys, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ Grammy-winning collaboration Raising Sand.

Along with his musical efforts, Ribot has also been an outspoken activist/community organizer in a number of causes, from affordable housing to musicians’ rights in the digital age. Portions of the album’s proceeds will be donated to The Indivisible Project, an organization that helps individuals resist the Trump agenda via grassroots movements in their local communities. More info on The Indivisible Project can be found at https://www.indivisible.org/.

That’s this song."

RON GALLO – neues Album STARDUST BIRTHDAY PARTY am 05.10. New West / Pias, erster Song online

RON GALLO - STARDUST BIRTHDAY PARTY - OUT OCTOBER 5TH

ANNOUNCES FALL TOUR & RELEASES FIRST SINGLE

“IT’S ALL GONNA BE OK” https://youtu.be/3QMSk1XHi3Q

“Insurgent poet and rock 'n' roll disruptor. He raises an eyebrow at his generation for creating legacies that add up to no more than ‘an impressive collection of digital remarks.’ Gallo's noisy tricksterism is

designed to counter such surface stuff” - NPR

“Nashvillian Ron Gallo gave a performance that was part Andy Kauffman-esque theater of the absurd, part Bill Hicks cosmic philosophy, part rock-and-god-dang-roll in the garage punk tradition.” - WXPN

“Fun and garage and gark and psychedelic and nice as hell” -Noisey

“Ron Gallo works with an oddly compatible mix of influences – Devo, Andy Kaufman and Paul Metzler, the sweet, dumb jock played by Chris Klein in late-Nineties cult classic Election all came to mind watching him perform” - Rolling Stone

Philly-raised artist Ron Gallo will release his sophomore album, Stardust Birthday Party on October 5th via New West. Today he shares the debut track from the album, his philosophical panacea, “It’s All Gonna Be OK.” 

Stardust Birthday Party is available for pre-order on today . The album will be released digitally on CD and vinyl.

Stardust Birthday Party is the follow up to Ron Gallo’s debut album, Heavy Meta, a “garage rock album whose emphasis on lurid fun doesn’t sacrifice depth,” said The Guardian, giving it four

stars. Mojo called it a “Shrieky-voiced, Jad fair-esque solo set of mid-70s Bowery oddball punk.” It was Gallo at his angriest, most disillusioned self. Amidst the typical political and social chaos in America and going through a break-up with a partner who suffered from addiction and mental illness, Gallo funneled his frustrations in to this frenetic debut. A life-altering, seismic shift in Gallo’s life is what led to Stardust Birthday Party - a counterpoint to Heavy Meta and a spiritual 180. The girl he’d been seeing had taken herself to South America at the height of her addiction, found a healer and had miraculously come out on the other side in 2016. It got Gallo’s interest piqued in an inward path and he began reading, searching. On a whim in early 2018, he booked a trip to California for a silent meditation retreat. Despite his initial discomfort, something significant occurred on day two that served as a singular answer to all his existential searching, and reaffirmed the foundation of this record - inner-transformation and how that impacts the outside world and your perception of it. 

Stardust Birthday Party follows Ron Gallo’s journey through awakening via self-deconstruction, kicking off with the simple prompt - “Who Are You? (Point to it!)” The album examines the tent poles of self loathing, anxiety and distraction on songs like “Always Elsewhere,” “Party Tumor” and “Do You Love Your Company?” ultimately leading to the answer on “‘You’ Are The Problem.” The second half of the album embodies the subtle slow shift into a more light, loving and compassionate outlook. Gallo pays tribute to John Coltrane’s own spiritual awakening on “Love Supreme (Work Together!)” named after the jazz artist’s seminal album. The record closes with “Happy Deathday,” a palette cleanser that challenges you to forget everything you’ve known. Throughout Stardust Birthday Party you’ll find that Gallo’s signature weirdo punk-poet persona is in full tact despite the absence of anger. The guitars are fuzzy and loud and there’s an urgency balanced with his new found OM.

Ron Gallo will be out on tour in support of Stardust Birthday Party throughout the rest of the year. A festival mainstay - having performed at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Hang Out, Firefly and sharing stages with White Reaper, Twin Peaks, Ty Segall, The Black Angels and more - he’ll appear this summer at Osheaga in Montreal, Pukkelpop in Belgium and Lincoln Calling stateside. In addition to these festival appearances, he’ll play dates throughout the US and Europe this Summer and will head out on a full North American tour this fall. Highlights include Gallo’s Hometown of Philly at the First Unitarian Church on November 10th, Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on November 12th and the final date at The Basement East in Nashville, TN on November 17th. Tickets for the November tour go on sale August 10th.

VALLEY MAKER

ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM RHODENDRON

OUT OCTOBER 12 ON FRENCHKISS RECORDS / Membran

RELEASES VIDEO FOR 1ST SINGLE "LIGHT ON THE GROUND"

Valley Maker, the folk project of South Carolina-bred, Seattle-based songwriter Austin Crane, announced his new album Rhododendron today. Set for release on October 12, the album is Valley Maker's debut with new label home Frenchkiss Records. The ten songs of Rhododendron reflect Crane's headspace as a PhD student in Human Geography, roaming through places in time and meditating on the spaces and connections we share with others. The record features production by Crane's longtime friend Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi and Trevor Spencer (Father John Misty, Fleet Foxes). Valley Maker released the new album's rambling first single "Light On The Ground" today along with a video directed by Joseph Kolean:

Rhododendron is the follow-up to Valley Maker's 2015 full-length When I Was A Child, praised by Spin for its "sense of a haunting warmness" and The Line Of Best Fit for send[ing] shivers across your spine with the bittersweet riffery."

MORE ON VALLEY MAKER:

On Valley Maker's second full-length album, Rhododendron, songwriter Austin Crane sings about movement - from one kind of belief to another, from place to place, through time. This new record from Crane, a Seattle-based musician and PhD student in Human Geography, reflects both the rootedness and rootlessness that shapes his songwriting on the precipice of his third decade. Like his noted inspirations Jason Molina, Bill Fay, and Gillian Welch before him, he speaks to the strange and transitory ways we mark time through our lives. Years pass and fold in his cosmic American songs.

Crane formed Valley Maker in 2010 with a self-titled collection of songs written for his undergrad thesis project at the University of South Carolina, tracing existential questions around biblical origin narratives, as embedded in his spiritually-infused Southern upbringing. Similar themes shade his vision on Rhododendron, which follows 2015's When I Was A Child.
