In a way, he is
the American version of Lemmy and shares many traits with the late,
much-beloved metal icon. He’s always been a rebel, loner and an outsider in an
outsider scene, pursuing his music without regard for popularity or acceptance.
In the process, he came to be considered one of the early pioneers of American
doom. All of this began when he founded THE OBSESSED back in the 70s, then
pursued through his many other outfits such as Saint Vitus or Spirit Caravan.
As a key part of the 80s Washington/Maryland music scene, his music earned the
respect of metal, punk and crossover fans alike while often being dubbed doom
metal. Looking back, it was just gritty, street-wise American metal with a
cynical bent and psychedelic flair, and this is what made him the unique and
timeless heavy music icon he is today.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">THE OBSESSED was formed in the late 1970s in Potomac, Maryland
by legendary guitarist Scott “Wino” Weinrich (Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan). The
band spawned in the realm of musicians/artists such as Black Sabbath, Frank
Zappa, The Dictators, and The Stooges. The earliest lineup consisted of Wino,
bassist Mark Laue, guitarist John Reese, and drummer Dave Flood. In 1983, Wino
took over vocal duties and the band became a three-piece to record the Sodden
Jackal EP. The band broke up in the late 80s after Wino moved to California to join Saint
Vitus. At that time, a German label, Hellhound Records, and the booking agency
that had signed Saint Vitus, released The Obsessed, originally recorded in
1985, prompting Wino to reform THE OBSESSED. After multiple lineup changes, the
band signed to Columbia Records in 1994 to release their third and final album,
The Church Within. Despite highly acclaimed reviews, they would break up
following the release, seeing Wino forming Spirit Caravan (then Shine) and
other projects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In September 2011, THE OBSESSED returned to the stage at
Roadburn Festival with The Church Within‘s legendary lineup of Wino, Greg
Rogers, and Guy Pinhas. The band played a few more reunion shows over the next
couple of years, including Hellfest Open Air in 2012 and Maryland Deathfest XI
in May 2013 with bassist Reid Raley. Wino announced the full-time return of the
band iin March 2016 and the band’s official signing to Relapse Records to
record the follow-up to The Church Within. The new lineup originally consisted
of Spirit Caravan bassist Dave Sherman and Wino’s longtime friend and former
road crew member Brian Costantino (drums). On October 31st, 2016, Wino
announced a new lineup change, including Bruce Falkinburg (bass) and Seraphim
(guitar), making it the first time the band had been a four-piece in over
thirty-five years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2017, THE OBSESSED unleashed Sacred, the band’s first
studio album in over twenty years, further pushing the band into the annals of
heavy metal history. After a few years on the road, the lineup stabilized
around Brian Costantino on drums, Chris Angleberger on bass, Jason Taylor on
guitar, and Scott "Wino" Weinrich at the helm. The iconic foursome is
now ready to embrace this new decade in doom with their awaited fifth album
"Gilded Sorrow", released in February 2024 as part of their new
collaboration with Californian label Ripple Music.</p>

the land of ancient monuments and Celtic traditions, GOAT MAJOR is an occult
doom band formed during the harsh lockdown of a global pandemic by longtime
friends Jammie Arnold (guitar), Simon Bonwick (drums) and Tom Shortt
(bass/vocals). All three members grew up within half a mile of each other in
Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in the shadow of the town’s medieval castle.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The power trio worked hard crafting songs of catchy sinister
occult doom metal, all while escaping the brutality that was cast upon the
world. As restrictions started to lift, GOAT MAJOR began playing shows as an
instrumental band before Shortt decided to take up the vocal duties. The band
continued fine-tuning their songs with regular shows around the south/west of Wales and further afield in England. The
band consequently started playing higher profile shows around the UK, sharing the
stage with the likes of Thunder Horse, Wytch Hazel, Sigiriya, Parish, OHHMS,
Made Of Teeth, Inhuman Nature. They also performed at Swansea Fringe festival
and headlined Rock the Gwasbah festival in West Wales.
GOAT MAJOR recently signed to US reference stoner, doom and heavy rock label
Ripple Music for the release of their debut album "Ritual" in March
2024.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">BIOGRAPHY</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The project was born from an idea by Thomas Mascheroni (also
guitar/voice of stoner trio Humulus) after a long series of jams inside a
former barn above the hills of Lake
Iseo. Thomas Greenwood
and the Talismans play a psychedelic rock heavily contaminated by 70s
influences, condensed into a cauldron of neo-psychedelia and West-Coast-style
surfing sounds, transmitting an overwhelming energy live. After releasing two
singles ('Valley of the Sun' and 'Violet Hills'), the artist releases the first
album, entirely self-produced entitled 'Rituals' (2023); Ramble Records from Melbourne and Echodelick Records from Atlanta printed the vinyls.</p>

for an extensive string of European shows including appearances at Hellfest and
Palp Fest, and announce the CD reissue of their 2008 sophomore album
"Carmina Diabolo" on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Italian stoner rock spearhead BLACK RAINBOWS returned with a
bang in 2023 with their ninth album "Superskull" — an asphalt-burning
and psych-drenched masterwork hailed as "a weighty slab of Sabbathian
party-heavy stoner doom" by Classic Rock Magazine — and have no intention
in slowing down in their heads-down conquest as they are set to embark for a
series of European shows and festival appearances this year. The Roman trio
will also reissue the long out-of-print CD version of their fuzzy sophomore
full-length "Carmina Diabolo" on April 5th, with preorders available
at this location.</p>

rock bands of the European scene, spreading the fuzz since 2005. Their sound
sits firmly between 90s-style Californian stoner rock, deep-cosmos psychedelia
and hard-driving space rock. In 2020, the trio entered the new decade refreshed
and with well-earned veteran status resulting from countless tours and festival
appearances, tearing roofs off with their unstoppable and infectious
rock’n’roll energy. In 2020, they released their eighth album “Cosmic Ritual
Supertrip” on Heavy Psych Sounds to great applause from the international rock
and metal community, followed by the "Live at Desertfest Belgium"
album in 2021 in celebration of the band's 15th anniversary. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you have any aliases?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sara Whizbanger </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you currently or have you ever played any musical
instruments?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a kid, I played multiple instruments. These days, I sing
and play piano.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Tell me about one of your first musical memories?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I grew up in a musical household; my dad was in the 1960s
psych-rock band Country Joe & The Fish, so my memories run deep. That said,
it was probably when I first heard heavy shifts in music. As a kid barely 13,
I’d heard Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Scorpions, stuff like that. But
these were all later albums from 1980-83, so my first Sabbath record was Mob
Rules, my first Scorpions album was Blackout, and the first Priest was
Screaming for Vengeance. Then I found the earlier stuff for all these bands and
became completely obsessed with music, trying to understand their trajectory of
sound. Because I was a child, 12, 13 years old, I didn’t have the cognition to
parse that; instead, I felt it to my bones. This was when it sunk in that heavy
music was a curative for childhood trauma. From there, I gravitated toward loud
and heavy music more and more. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I feel like my identity was fixed in a way because of my
family (my older brothers drew me into the East Bay
punk/metal scene when I was 9 or 10), so I had to find my place amongst the
soundscapes that surrounded me. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Tell me about the genesis of The Whizbanger Show.<span> </span></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a teenager, I had designs on being a deejay, but my
shyness, fear, and introversion prevented that for many years. I had a lot of
false starts! Some pals of mine up in Calgary
had been trying to get me to join Metal Nation Radio for years. In 2015, I
finally joined. I had no name for the show, but I’d fooled around with Sara
Whizbanger as an alias so my students wouldn’t be able to find me. That stuck,
and The Whizbanger Show was born! My time at Metal Nation Radio was challenging
because I wanted to play underground music, and they wanted me to play
(literally) “the heavy hitters.” I took a short break and joined MMH - The Home
of Rock Radio, where I deejayed for nearly three years. Then, in April of 2023,
I launched independently. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What inspired the name The Whizbanger Show?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXVA5LOQqz77tnsEOntICLtbFM0LEWtnntZJY5uD36M0-2ksVb6-07cdDAEfphw78oK2plZHweJO0_6vWYFYyDcX6fk2GGZvmykT85pt92nt9L-HnwZL221ZeiWvhdn-Et0V4sKVfDpHzkdSzsbxi6CP5iH-LSNhIDZyePiFF1wZk8iC4yZuxrHA49Bb4/s512/suzy2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="384" data-original-width="512" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXVA5LOQqz77tnsEOntICLtbFM0LEWtnntZJY5uD36M0-2ksVb6-07cdDAEfphw78oK2plZHweJO0_6vWYFYyDcX6fk2GGZvmykT85pt92nt9L-HnwZL221ZeiWvhdn-Et0V4sKVfDpHzkdSzsbxi6CP5iH-LSNhIDZyePiFF1wZk8iC4yZuxrHA49Bb4/s320/suzy2.png" width="320" /></a></div>I wanted to bring back the old adage, she’s a whizbang! I
took it as my name around 2008 on MySpace because my students kept finding me
on social media. <p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Soon after, an acquaintance who’s also the frontperson for
one of my favorite death metal bands saw me at a show and said, “Hey, what’s
up, Sara Whizbanger!” That memory was always sweet and fun, so I took it as
kismet. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you could insert yourself into any one band what band
would it be and why?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t want to insert myself into someone else’s band.
First, if it’s a band I love, then the sound would be different. Second, if
it’s a band I dislike, wouldn’t that be me on some weird ego trip to improve
their sound? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I did perform with my dad last Spring in New York, though, and I loved that. LOVED
that. I sang Born Under A Bad Sign and Reconsider Baby. One of my life’s
highlights. So yeah, I’d love to perform with my dad more. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever heard a song and immediately wished you had
written it?<span> </span>If so… What was the song and
artist?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ah, like an enviable set of lyrics? There are some amazing
lyricists out there, for sure. I’m a writer, and there are word wizards out
there that are so inspiring. Carole King comes to mind. Dorthia Cottrell of
Windhand writes gobsmackingly wondrous lyrics. Linda Perry is pretty amazing,
too. Patti Smith rates up high as well. I find inspiration in these amazing
artists. I’m often prompted to pause the music and go and write. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you have any non-metal musical inspirations?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I listen to just about everything. Truly. Lots of outlaw
country, rap (I seriously can’t wait for L’il Jon’s Meditation album), pop,
old-school ska, Americana,
rebel folk, bluegrass, Delta Blues, R&B, and reggae. My voice coach (Disco
Mountain Man of Tragedy: The All Metal Tribute to The Bee Gees and Beyond) is
having me sing Italian opera these days as a training technique. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are very few genres of music I dislike. Heavy music
has my heart, though. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What band have you witnessed live that has really impressed
you with their live show?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So many bands! This is a tough question. Like, almost
impossible. Because we just lost him and lost him too soon, I’m going with
MC50, who I saw at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco in 2018. Without Rob Tyner, we
didn’t know what to expect. Then, out came this giant I’d never seen before!
This was Zen Guerilla’s Marcus Durant, and to say he “did justice” would be the
understatement of the century. He even had this Tyner sensibility about him.
That was one of the best shows we’d ever seen, and I feel so deeply grateful to
have seen Wayne Kramer and The MC5(0). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you have a favorite venue to see bands play at?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I like smaller venues. Some of my favorites are gone, but
these days, I’d say The Cornerstone Berkeley rises to the top as one of the
best venues to see shows. I love The Regency (San Francisco), but prefunk at Bar 101 first.
The Regency is famous for overpriced drinks. Oh, The Independent is bar-none.
I’ve seen so many shows there. Also Bottom of The Hill and The Fillmore. Both of
those venues were the last places I saw shows before lockdown. Church of Misery at BoH and Patti Smith at The
Fillmore. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes. Two Alleve, a good meal, and a cup of coffee.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What’s the weirdest experience you’ve had at a live show?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Isn’t every show weird in its own way? I’d say narrowly
avoiding Toby Rage’s Chuck Taylor on my head at Ruthie’s Inn shows or Paul
Baloff running into the girls’ bathroom also at Ruthie’s Inn
to terrorize us by bursting open the stall doors and screaming. But with
hilarity and love. Always. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Be kind, be patient, and find your tribe. Listen to a lot of
other bands. Create with other artists. Surround yourself with people who want
you to do well. Study stoicism. Be kind to yourself and turn your negative
self-talk into curious questions instead. Find love in what you do. Expect
little but maintain high standards. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Athens-based doom metal pillars ACID MAMMOTH premiere a
crushing excerpt taken from their anticipated fourth album "Supersonic
Megafauna Collision", to be released on April 5th via Heavy Psych Sounds.
Crank it up and meet the "Atomic Shaman" now!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“It is absolutely the kind of fuzz-filled, atmospheric
escape that doomers are craving.” - Doomed & Stoned </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Get ready to be overtaken by a storm of pachyderm-hefty
riffs, wooly bass, fierce drumming, and witchy vocals. ACID MAMMOTH's highly
anticipated fourth album is an unholy celebration of all things heavy, and as
the album progresses, it just keeps getting doomier. “Supersonic Megafauna
Collision” is an evil and explosive album drenched in 666% fuzz! </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About the song, guitarist and vocalist Chris Babalis Jr.
says: "The surface burns day and night, and dwellers of the deepest
caverns have embraced the pitch-black corridors below as their new dominion. No
one dares to venture above; it would only mean certain death by the
all-consuming hellfire that came from the skies. The dwellers are secluded in
the deep, chanting frenziedly and calling upon the spirits from the otherworld
for salvation. This is the dismal world of “Atomic Shaman”, the track that
opens side B of our upcoming new album. Our goal with this song was to capture
all the despair and hopelessness of that horrific turn of events and put it in
one song, greatly inspired by the 1986 movie “Dead Man’s Letters””.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">ACID MAMMOTH is a doom metal band from Athens, Greece.
The band was formed in 2015 by Chris Babalis Jr. (vocals & guitars) and
Dimosthenis Varikos (Bass), good friends since high school, with a deep love
for Sabbath and other heavy music. They were quickly joined by their long-time
friend Marios Louvaris (Drums) and Chris Babalis Sr. (Guitars), Jr.'s father.
Acid Mammoth is more than just a band of friends: they are a family.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In September 2019, ACID MAMMOTH inked a worldwide deal with
Heavy Psych Sounds Records, on which they released three studio full-lengths
and a "Doom Sessions" split EP with Italian labelmates 1782.
Described as "loud-as-fuck psychedelic doom that sounds as if it were
conjured from an acid trip" by Decibel Magazine, their 2021 album
"Caravan" garnered high praise from across the media sphere, from
UK's Classic Rock Magazine stating "Acid Mammoth are operating on a higher
plane than most" to Metalsucks affirming that "their zero gravity
doom blasts them past the stratosphere". On the heels of this success, they
trampled upon every city on the European continent between 2022 and 2023 with
two extensive tours, also appearing at various festivals such as Desertfest
London, Desertfest Antwerp, Heavy Psych Sounds Fest and Sonic Blast. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About their upcoming fourth album "Supersonic Megafauna
Collision", vocalist and guitarist Chris Babalis Jr. says: "While the
previous album was composed and recorded during a state of total COVID lockdown
in 2020, our new album was composed and recorded after the world had gotten
back to a new state of normalcy, after we had toured and played shows all over
Europe, and all that enthusiasm and excitement we gathered while touring was
put into this new album. We wanted to record a heavy and explosive album with
lots of fuzz, that retains what made our sound great in our previous releases
but take it a few steps further, and that’s exactly what we did. The album
starts as a celebration of all things fuzzy with the title track “Supersonic
Megafauna Collision”, and it just gets darker and darker as the album progresses,
until it concludes in complete and utter heartbreak with the song “Tusko’s Last
Trip”, telling the heart-wrenching real story of Tusko, an elephant who was
murdered as a result of cruel human experimentation."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Supersonic Megafauna Collision" was recorded,
mixed, and mastered at Descent Studio, with drums recorded at Ritual Studios.
The artwork was created by Branca Studio.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Having released two-full lengths of emotive, atmospheric
instrumental and/or wordless music throughout 2022, Greg Anderson returns as
The Lord with Worship: Bernard Herrmann Tribute, an album consisting of 9 new
pieces of suspenseful and evocative guitar music, inspired by the film
compositions of Bernard Herrmann.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Two tracks from the album are available to listen to today;
"Psycho: Marion & Sam" and "Farenheit 451: The
Reading."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Anderson
has been working on these compositions since 2021, his solo output having been
greatly influenced by Herrmann. Southern Lord & The Lord Recordings present
this limited edition 12” and Bandcamp exclusive digital release in May-June
2024.

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Bernard Herrmann is an Academy Award-winning composer, most
notable for his collaborations with Alfred Hitchcock, including for films
Vertigo, North By Northwest and Psycho. He also composed for films Cape Fear,
The Bride Wore Black, Fahrenheit 451 and Citizen Kane, all of which receive a
nod on this album. Anderson's
compositions take cues from the dramatic tension which Herrmann excelled at,
and create a noir-esque atmosphere of expectancy through repetition and introspection.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Greg Anderson began making music in the mid-eighties with
hardcore bands False Liberty and Brotherhood before refining his musicality
during the nineties with the post-hardcore collective Engine Kid. From that
point on, the musical direction started shifting, channelling his love of tone,
riffs and repetitive sound, vital elements that feed into the meditative cosmos
of the band he co-founded:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SUNN O))),
and the ‘low and slow’ sounds of Goatsnake, both of whom find different ways to
move beyond confines and tropes of their respective sound worlds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unintentionally moving in a different direction from those
bands within which he found his feet, Anderson
was able to take on the mantle of The Lord in a new, pictorial approach to
heavy music. Through this process, he has found himself moved to collaborate
with vocalists/musicians he admires which to date includes; Robin Wattie
(BIG|BRAVE), William Duvall, Petra Haden, David Pajo, Daniel Kubinski and most
recently, Marthe.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The record begun in the Lord's Cave throughout 2021-2024,
finished in 2024 at Sea Grass Studios, Valley Village
by engineer Brad Wood. Production was overseen by Greg Anderson and Brad Wood,
and mixing and mastering was completed by Brad Wood. The design of the album is
by Laura Pleasants. </p>

hardcore to '90s inspired alternative rock - this album got it all!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Patrik, Co-Founder Lövely records on 'Honor Roll of Hits’:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With this 4-way split we kind of sum up the essence of
Lövely Records. This represents the feeling and the background of our musical
taste. Being an adolescent in the nineties, punk, hardcore, indiepop, grunge
and alternative rock was a big part of everything around. I came from a more
metal background but with the growing punk/hardcore scene in the area I got
caught in the DIY culture and a more politicized approach for music. These 4
bands ticks all my boxes in their own unique way.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I kind of missed out on the first Statues album, which
bothers me. When I heard their second album I knew we had to do it. The members
of Statues has boiled down all the energy, melody and ”hit potential” from
their previous bands and made something really unique. With a hardcore/punk
heart mixed up with alternative rock from the -90s they have really found a
sound that fits my inner soul.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The first time I heard GASP I was totally blown away. So
punk, so pure, so angry. The track ”Lose It” is in my ears a superhit. It hit
me like the first time I heard Spitboy or Detestation, not that they sound the
same but the feeling of that sheer anger and frustration. GASP have got melody,
anger and attitude to boost! Looking forward to see them live, I’m sure they
will knock me out.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Finspång is close to Lövely’s head quarter in Linköping (my
hometown) and I have had my eyes on the members previous bands a long time,
most of those bands have been harder and I really enjoy them all, but with
Sweet Teeth these guys have really found my soft spot and nail it with every
song. Sweet Teeth capture the spirit and sound from favorite bands as Hüsker Dü
and Dinosaur JR, but still manage to keep their own take on their powerpop and
making it relevant for the 2020:s.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">LKPG HC finest! First In Line (F.I.L) has been flying the
flag of fast, melodic hardcore since forever. I saw them the first time about
30 years ago and they still blow my mind every time. Growing up as a punk here,
these guys were role models and inspiration and through the years they became
friends and comrades. Always relevant and angry lyrics about all the shit going
on around us.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sweet Teeth, perfect smile and raw beauty. Behind it all we
find a bittersweet blend of catchy, punky, fuzzy power pop and ’90s inspired
alternative rock. Small town dreams expressed through noisy guitars, sugar
sweet melodies, and honest, straightforward lyrics. Sweet Teeth sounds like
Hüsker Dü mixed with The Flamin' Groovies, Ramones mixed with Big Star or even
The Hellacopters mixed with Dinosaur Jr. Hailing from the rural parts of
Sweden, the members of Sweet Teeth have played in bands such as The Deadbeats,
Disfear, Dollhouse, Year Of The Goat, Tortyr, and The Dontcares. Together they
find a perfect blend of musical history. </p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">Sweet Teeth released the debut, 7 track mini-album ”Acid
Rain” in 2021 which immediately received praise from both fans and media.
Classic Rock Magazine called the album ”a brutal, scintillating mush of
frill-free Scandinavian power-pop aggression that calls to mind Hüsker Dü at
their most angst-driven and impatient”, and the track ”My Heart is Big and
Broken” was dubbed the ”Coolest Song in the World'' by Little Steven (Bruce
Springsteen & The E Street Band) on his show The Underground Garage. ”Acid
Rain” was later nominated for best punk record of the year at the Swedish indie
awards Manifestgalan.</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">Despite the pandemic working against them, Sweet Teeth has
during their relatively short career played several explosive live shows,
sharing stages with bands such as Millencolin, Hurula, Freedom, and Märvel. The
four-piece released their second studio album ”High Anxiety”during the autumn
of 2022.</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">Connect with Sweet Teeth:</p><a href="https://gaphals.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69f3666612dc7216a2d68ad14&id=22106a3c2b&e=8cdc955d60" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #007c89; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/sweetteethpowerpop</a><br />

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First in Line originally
started out as Prehistoric in the spring of 1988 with Timor Tanriverdi on
drums, Jörgen Sjöström on guitar, Stefan Angeltorp on vocals and Errol
Tanriverdi on bass. After a couple of years Stefan quit and Henrik Hane started
on vocals. In addition, Nikola Rasic joined as solo guitarist and so
Prehistoric continued until 1993 when Nils Javefors took hold of the
microphone. Prehistoric released a Split CD with Allena in 1993 and appeared on
various compilation albums until 1996 when the band changed singer again, this
time Niklas Gunrin and at the same time changed their name to First In Line. In
1998 Errol took over the vocals in connection with the release of the first
single I Know (Bridge of compassion) and in 1999 the single Backside LKPG/F.I.L
was released (Bridge of compassion).</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">In 2000 the band took a break that lasted until 2008 when it
was time to grab the gear again. Patric Lind joined on bass and since then the
band has played gigs around Sweden
and released the records In the land of filth and honey, ...We are watching,
and Wake up!</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">So what's the point? F.I.L is rooted in American hardcore,
because that's what we grew up with and love, the raw, fast, no-frills, energy
explosion. F.I.L are so pissed off at all injustice and stupidity, we have to
get it out of our heads and into the songs that we hope will hit right in the
heart of you who listen, who can turn up the will to fight and maybe also be a
tiny cog in a machinery that can change the world.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">90’s Alternative Rock was never anything else then great
pop-songs filtered through screaming guitars. The Swedish based power trio
Statues can be filed under your typical SST band. Simple, impulsive, eccentric,
and just wonderful. They could be that third band that played somewhere in the
midwest together with Hüsker Dü and Sonic Youth during the late ’80s. Rock has
perhaps never been this catchy. Statues are a tornado on a collision course
with your hometown. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The indie-rock outfit Statues from Umeå, Sweden
has a dense stubbornness as their musical trademark. At the same time, there is
unobtrusive security and a sense of dynamics in the group's tasteful
association of tantrum noises and winding melodies. Much of the establishment
is unmistakably bottled in an indie-rock and post-punk North American-style
tradition, and aesthetic threads of origin are related to a young and hungry
Hüsker Dü as well as legendary alternative labels like SST and Dischord. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The trio has been playing together in different
constellations since 1991. The red thread throughout the years is that
everything has become more and more intense and angry for each year. During the
years the members have been heard through bands such as Starmarket, KVLR, and
The Vultures. In 2018 everything culminated at the start of Statues. The same
year debut album "Adult Lobotomy” was released through German label
Crazysane Records. The furious and straightforward expression of the
high-intense debut album made it sold out in no time. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">”In music it’s a rare balance to successfully blend politics
and fun, aggression with melody. Drawing on some of my fave post-punk
influences and classic rock grooves,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Statues debut Adult Lobotomy walks a line like Phillippe Petit across
the sky between Twin
Towers, gracefully
subversive.” /Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Rival Schools,
Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2020 Statues released their second album “Holocene” on
Lövely Records. The band wrote over 40 songs and all of them were short, fast,
and extremely intense. The band recorded 11 songs in just three hours. It was
the first time in the history for Sandås Silence Studio to repay a band for
pre-booked studio time. The entire album was mixed and mastered by Christian
Ramirez. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The lyrics and artwork were made before the Covid-19
outbreak in 2020. Although the lyrics give hints of threatful viruses,
sinkholes, and total environmental collapse. Perhaps we should borrow the
crystal ball from Statues, or just accept that the band already is a part of
the future. As best we can know, Statues might very well be the future</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Statues began writing and recording new material in 2021.
Johan Sellman had written over 20 new songs in just a couple of months and
after a couple of covid quarantines the band could finally enter "Svenska
Grammofonstudion" in Gothenburg together with producer Christian Ramirez.
The new album was mainly recorded live in a furious tempo during 5 days. Doing
an album in that short amount of time requires no second guessing, everything
that was played ended up on tape, including the bands’ energy and stubbornness.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">GASP</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><a href="https://gaphals.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69f3666612dc7216a2d68ad14&id=c0fbe52979&e=8cdc955d60" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #007c89; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Stream the single "Burning"</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">GASP started out in 2018 when three 30+ women from the
DIY-culture, picked up some instruments for the very first time and learned how
to play and create music. The music that came out was noisy and distorted with
a hint of pop rock riffs that bring you songs with a lot of attitude and
energy. Gina (guitar, vocals) and Daniella (drums) started the band in 2017 and
was joined by Emma (bass, vocals) in 2018 when GASP fully took shape. After a
few years of hard work in the rehearsal room GASP made their presence known in
the punk community in 2021 when they released a string of well received singles,
a video for the song Gut That Living Thing and also did their first live shows
together with Gluer and Diakron.</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">Daniella sadly decided to leave the band early 2022 to give
time to other interests which led GASP to temporarily join forces with Ulf
Blomberg (Hoborec, Grace Will Fall). Ulf is now banging the drums until
Agustina Etcheto is ready to take over the sticks. Agustina is, in true
GASP-spirit, just learning how to play drums and you will probably see her on
stage later this year!</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">With 5 songs in the backpack they are eager to release some
new material which will come for you sooner than you think!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Name of your band: </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sunflower Fox and the Chicken Leg and we’re Kaity Heart the
vocalist, Mike Schmidt Lead Guitar and Kyle Primus, Drums, percussion, and the
absent cowbell</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What have been your musical epiphany moments?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity- It was closing my business of 12 years and just focusing
on music. The business I owned was always just a means to an end-but I was
making enough money just singing that I finally decided to just pursue music.
The other would be when we were in the midst of Covid realising that we finally
had time to actually write! When you’re gigging all the time-you lose that
creativity-all of a sudden we had time to actually be creative that’s where the
idea for Sunflower came from. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike- My dad was a musician, and growing up listening to his
recordings set the stage for me, then finding my influences locked everything
into place for me. There has never been a question or another option for me. I
knew very young music is what I will do/have to do.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: I had a few.<span>
</span>When I was 6, my cousins lent me an ACDC Live at Donnington CD.<span> </span>I heard that and knew I wanted to be a
drummer.<span> </span>I started playing in bars at 15
and knew I wanted to perform until I died.<span>
</span>When I was in college, I was studying mechanical engineering at the U of
M and I hated it.<span> </span>Sophomore year I
decided that I could choose a career path that actually made me happy, so I
changed my degree to music and haven’t looked back.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Talk to us about the song-writing process for you. What
comes first, the idea? A riff? The lyrics? How does it all fall into place?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: It’s completely different every single time. It might
start with me with a melody line and basic chords. Or it might start with Mike
or James with a riff on guitar? Or Al (keys) with an entire song structured
out. We kind of just throw everything at the wall and see what sticks! Then it
will evolve until we get a song everyone likes. Everyone just adds their piece
to it as we go along. This is the most accepting and constructively critical
band I’ve ever been apart of. We truly write for the song, not ourselves. We’re
really trying to nail that 1970’s sound. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: my role in this group is much more a supportive role
and that’s how I prefer to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest
of the group comes up with the riffs, chords, and lyrics, and then I write
parts that stay out of the way of Kaity and all musicians while also
highlighting and accenting their writing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Who has influenced you the most?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: For myself it’s going to be Heart and probably
Fleetwood Mac. But you can hear lots of Runaways and Joan Jett in some of the
heavier songs. There’s Headeast in there, Zeppelin, Aerosmith…even allusions to
spinal tap. It just depends on the song!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike: Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy… another huge
influence is Guns N’ Roses and they were influenced by tons of 70's bands.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: I am younger than the rest of the group, so most of my
inspiration comes from 80’s hair metal and 90’s prog metal.<span> </span>However, there is a simple purity in bands
like Rainbow, Boston,
and 70’s ACDC and Van Halen that I am drawn to.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Where do you look for continuing inspiration? New ideas, new
motivation?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: The new classic rock bands that are coming out now
are fantastic. It’s awesome to know we’re not the only ones trying to bring
this style back. Bands like Dirty Honey, Greta Van Fleet, Ace Monroe Band, Gyasi
and I think you can even throw Maneskin in there for their references to the
days of glam rock. Rock is going to make a comeback. I can feel it in my bones.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: I draw my non-drumming ideas (themes, lyrics,
melodies) from movies and TV shows.<span> </span>I
absorb my drumming inspiration for our records simply from dissecting 70’s
records.<span> </span>Specifically listening to how
much the drummers were listening to the other musicians. Were they
complimenting the guitarist?<span> </span>The
bassist?<span> </span>Were they off on their own
little world?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">We're all a product of our environment. Tell us about the
band's hometown and how that reflects in the music?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: We’re all from the state of Minnesota and around the Twin Cities…where
Prince and the ‘Minneapolis Funk’ sound was born. I think that funky groove is
just kind of bred into all musicians from around here. Hell, the first producer
I ever worked with was from Paisley
Park. Anyways-you can
definitely hear the groove in the bass lines and drums and even the keys in
some of these songs. You can’t escape it!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: I am from small town central MN.<span> </span>It was all rap and country with no musical
diversity.<span> </span>I had to explore any and all
rock as an individual.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Where'd the band name come from?</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Ahhh…there are many stories. But-our keyboard player
Al Berg really likes birds…in fact it was one of his emphasis’ in college. And
oddly enough his favourite bird is the common chicken. I came up with the name
of Sunflower Fox but we thought that was too indie-so we tacked on ‘and the
chicken leg’ and it stuck!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">You have one chance, what movie are you going to write the
soundtrack for?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Oh anything that would have anything to do with the
70’s of course. A 70’s witchy, folk horror would be perfect for us. Like if
Midsommar happened in the 70’s. So I guess doing the soundtrack for the
original Wicker Man or Susperia would be sick!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle - 1978 The Lord of the Rings. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">You now write for a music publication (The Ripple
Effect?).<span> </span>You're going to write a 1,000
word essay on one song. Which would it be and why?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: ‘Barracuda’ and why it means more today than it did
in the 70’s. Heart wrote that song as a direct fuck you to the record labels.
But now-there are even more barracudas in the sea…fleecing you for every penny
and dime. Selling dreams and and straight up lying to people about their own
potential. There’s no longer just labels…it’s EVERYONE you gotta watch out for!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle - “Kill the King” - Rainbow<span> </span>- The song was “metal” before the genre
existed.<span> </span>Ronnie James Dio, regicide, and
double-bass….<span> </span>Count me in!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Come on, share with us a couple of your great, Spinal Tap,
rock and roll moments?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Oh god. So many. A lot of us in Sunflower play in a
dance band that tours and plays lots of private events. It literally pays for
all the cool things we get to do in Sunflower! So we found out we are playing a
wedding on a farm and normally those are like fake cute farms and it’s just for
an aesthetic. We roll up and it’s a real working farm. We had to pull power
from the street lamps. The ‘dance floor’ was dirt. There were
chickens…everywhere. I had to legit pull the set lists because the chickens were
eating them. They put catering (which was a bunch of little 15/16 year old
pigtailed girls) IN THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE. It was all kinds of crazy. I haven’t
laughed that hard in a long time!! </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike: This biggest thing is you never watch that movie
before a gig, it will ruin the night. Backstage “dressing rooms” can be very
Spinal Tab, or finding your way to and from them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: Against my stern wishes, they made me record with a
cowbell on our first record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>AND THEY
DIDN’T EVEN USE IT.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh it was so mean. We’re sorry
Kyle. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: They also shaved my face into a handle-bar moustache
for the recording of the first record.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now they demand it be shaved properly for every recording venture. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Tell us about playing live and the live experience for you
and for your fans? </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Combined we all have an incredible amount of stage
time. Everyone of us has toured the country in different groups and we’re
looking forward to doing this with Sunflower. Everyone is a dynamic performer,
we love travelling and we’re also just the right mix of serious ass kicking
rock and roll and unbridled ridiculousness. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What makes a great song?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Peaks and Valleys. I love a song that goes somewhere.
That isn’t just a straight line of background music. Nothing bores me more than
the bare minimum. Which oddly enough seems kind of popular right now-but I
think dynamics in lyrics, in sonic quality, in structure is so exciting. Who
doesn’t want that? It’s why songs from the 60’s-90’s still are so popular. They
have all these levels. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: Letting the song breathe.<span> </span>Not everything to the grid.<span> </span>Musicians performing together instead of
recording one instrument at a time.<span> </span>Authenticity;
writing the song for yourself and not for the fans or streaming platforms.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Tell us about the first song you ever wrote?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike:<span> </span>I wrote my
first song directly after my dad taught me my first 2 chords on guitar at the
age about about 10. Pretty basic A and D with a sus 4 in it. I still have the
recording…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: I may be wrong here (we are talking about 3 years
ago), but I think the first song we started working on collectively was
“Past.”<span> </span>Kaity and James had laid the
foundation and then brought it to me to start with a drum part.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What piece of your music are particularly proud of?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike: I had an original band in the 90's and 2000's and I
had come up with some pretty cool riffs that I'm still and proud of looking
back. I hope some of this newer stuff we are writing now holds up… I think it
will, there are a lot of great songs we have put together.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: Our first release “Breathe It In.”<span> </span>It %100 the band’s.<span> </span>No outside producers or pressures.<span> </span>Everybody brought “theirs” to the table and
the collaboration was an absolute success.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Ditto what Kyle said. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Who today, writes great songs? Who just kicks your ass? Why?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: Iron Maiden are still kicking ass on the stage and in
the studio despite being well into their 60’s and 70’s and being well over 40
years into their career.<span> </span>Their songs are
still catchy and identifiable as theirs.<span>
</span>Their live shows only get more and more exciting.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Marvellous Three just recently put out an album after
20 years that kicks ass. I love what MARINA
is doing-especially the song Man’s World. And I’m pretty obsessed with
literally every album by The Pierces. They are like a new wave of Heart and I’m
here for it. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Vinyl, CD, or digital? What's your format of choice?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Vinyl. C’mon. We’re a 70’s original band hahahah</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike: Digital is convenient to grab a song or two quickly,
but vinyl you get the whole experience of putting it on, the large format
artwork, and listening to a full record.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: Vinyl is great for the true listening experience.<span> </span>It’s like watching a movie.<span> </span>You have to make time for it and be fully
engaged.<span> </span>Otherwise lossless audio streaming
for all the convenient applications.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Whiskey or beer?<span> </span>And
defend your choice</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: Beer. Preferably Hamms. But we wish Olympia would make a comeback. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although I think Mike (guitar), Craig (bass) and Al
(keyboards) might vote whiskey…but we do drink a lot of beer. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike: Whiskey and beer go hand and hand, depends on the
day/night.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kyle: Jack Daniels.<span>
</span>Jack Daniels.<span> </span>Jack Daniels.<span> </span>Wait….and more Jack Daniels.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">We, at the Ripple Effect, are constantly looking for new
music. What's your home town, and when we get there, what's the best record
store to lose ourselves in?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Electric Fetus or No Name Records-both absolutely fantastic.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">What's next for the band? </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kaity: We will finish releasing covers/singles for album 1.
Album 2 is currently being mixed and we are almost done writing albums 3 &
4. This will free us up to work on touring and playing live! This was always
our plan. We will literally have new music for a solid four years straight with
no break. We’re very excited!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mike: Writing, recording, and playing live, maybe another
music video here and there… We want to get the music to the people!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Any final comments or thoughts you'd like to share with our
readers, the waveriders?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re doing this live. We are all in a room together-we
don’t do overdubs unless we have to. We’re trying to bring back the magic that
happened in these iconic studios. It’s one thing to record in our basements
(where honestly, we totally could-the technology is totally there) but it’s a
whole other thing to go to another part of the country, and be in the same
space as Kansas/Stevie Wonder (Studio in the Country) or Nirvana/Live
(Pachyderm Studios) or Sublime/Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Sonic Ranch) and feel that
energy. That’s what they did in the 70’s and that’s what we’re doing now. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also…If you have proof that sasquatches or skunk apes exist,
we would like to see it.</p>

single taken from their forthcoming debut album "Psychodrama", to be
issued on March 1st via Heavy Psych Sounds. Embrace the power of
"Diabolique" now!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About "Diabolique", frontman Juan Carlos Caceres
says: "It started off as a pentatonic style guitar riff and it quickly
laid itself out as a driving hard rock song. The guitar harmonies add a dark
overtone and the non-stop drive from the drums and bass got me thinking about
propaganda and how it propels any given narrative to the population. Lyrically,
I wanted to explore the public manipulation by governments, religious
organizations, corporate media, and the filthy rich... And how propaganda can
fracture society and cause us all to tear each other apart. This is something
that has affected everyone throughout human history."</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">🔥 Watch their new video "Diabolique" <span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><a href="https://purplesagepr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6c2e0b16dbe9253a48d310a7e&id=130d856dc6&e=667e6d4d3f" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" style="color: #666699; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">at this location</a></strong></span> 🔥</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As undefeatable Guardians of The Riff, TIGERS ON OPIUM have
made an art of rustling up highly danceable heavy rock bangers by combining
NWOBHM's muscular riffing, the finesse and swagger of 70s classic rock and some
of the most delightfully hip-swaying grooves while making it a refreshing
listening experience throughout. The result is a dark and dirty 10-tracker that
leaves the typical genre conventions in an insalubrious haze all while
exploring strong topics from mental health to societal change.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Their debut album "Psychodrama" indeed deals with
various psychological and social experiences that have shaped our cultural
evolution. Occultism, Propaganda, Atomic Warfare, Media Consumption, Religion,
Social unrest, Nostalgia, Mental Struggle, Pop Culture, Revolution, and Change
- are all themes explored throughout the album. Watch their latest videos

length: a structured form of therapy in which a person dramatizes a personal
problem or conflict, usually in front of a group of other therapy participants.
The other participants usually take part in the drama, though each performance
focuses on a single person's concerns. The goal of psychodrama therapy is to
work together in a group to achieve a better understanding of past traumas and
the influence they can create, the members must feel willing to work together.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Frontman Juan Carlos Caceres says: "When I came across
the idea of psychodrama therapy, I started to think about how we have so many
joint experiences as a society that currently happen or have happened, and how
they shape both our singular and collective consciousness. Music has always
been a form of therapy for not just me, but a massive amount of the people in
the world. I started to conceptualize this as an idea for the album, thinking
that we all have so many connections to major/micro events in time, and
generally similar interpretations of them. Like the idea of a psychodrama
therapy session, I started to envision how the songs could play out about these
different moments... Almost like vignettes or snapshots of life, with the song
playing the role of the individual, and the listeners playing the role of the
group.”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With sledgehammer riffs and lyrics as bleak as a Michigan winter, blackened doom outfit Temple of the Fuzz Witch brings a unique take
on the doom genre, their nightmarish sonic vision being raised to another level
with frontman Noah Bruner's jaw-dropping balance of crypt-worthy growls and
astoundingly grunge-styled clean vocals. Never darkness has felt so magnificent
and compelling, and their aptly-titled third album "Apotheosis" has
everything to put the mighty trio on every doom metal fan's radar for years to
come.

<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Launched in 2017 with a 3-track EP, the Detroit
three-piece has successively released two albums: "Temple of the Fuzz Witch" (2019) and
"Red Tide" (2020). Temple
of the Fuzz Witch is now set to unleash the beauty of its unique occult-driven
nihilism with "Apotheosis".</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About the album, the band says: “The lyrics and concept are
more overt and less cryptic than the previous Temple releases. Everything is bigger,
heavier, and darker. Rather than making just another doom record, we wanted to
do something that stepped outside of the box a little bit. Established fans
will still find catchy riffs that are staples of doom but will be surprised with
some new twists on the genre, with the introduction of blackened vocals and
some more up-tempo tracks. Lyrically, the album is deeply rooted in the
esoteric and spiritual. We came with a very introspective mindset, and each of
us was able to add a little bit of our soul to it. When people hear the lyrics
and music together, they will find something fresh but dark to connect with.”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Heavy Psych Sounds Records announce the release of the
fuzz-driven split album from US
heavy blues rockers GEEZER and Italian stoner rock pillars ISAAK this May 17th,
with preorders and a first track available now!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Buckle up, as two of the international stoner rock scene's
favorites have joined forces to produce one of the most rifftastic split albums
you will hear this year. The Fatal Nine is about to get reached on the Richter
scale as Kingston, NY's masters of the riff GEEZER deliver four stompers
drenched in the trio's trademark swagger and hypnotic groove, while Genoa's
ISAAK instantly blow all legal volume levels with three fuzz-drenched weapons
of sonic destruction, making any listener surrender to their undoubted stoner
rock might. Definitely one of the most hard-hitting stoner rock releases of the
spring!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">About the album, Geezer comments: "As the
"Interstellar Cosmic Blues" half of this EP, we consider these songs
to be some of the best that we've produced. Songs that could all be singles all
on their own. And they better be because "The Riffalicious Stoner
Dudes" brought some savage riffage of their own! Put it all together with
amazing artwork by Mirkow Gastow and release it on Heavy Psych Sounds, the best
record label on the planet... and you've got all the makings of a great record!
A modern classic right out of the box. Dig it!"</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">A decade beyond their formation, GEEZER have become a staple
presence of the US
heavy underground. From their 2013 debut, the Kingston, New York,
trio have progressed into and through open-spaced jams and memorable hooks,
offering glimpses at their growth across records like 2014’s "Gage",
2016’s self-titled and 2017’s "Psychoriffadelia", founding
guitarist/vocalist Pat Harrington has led the band on a thrilling journey of
altered consciousness and downright boogie. Amid the grim existence of 2020,
Geezer unleashed Groovy, their most vital release yet, pulling together what
Harrington calls the “three pillars of Geezer: heavy, trippy, groovy” with a
batch of memorable songs and easy-rolling vibes. It’s a rare band that finds
its sound so engagingly, and with their 2022 album "Stoned Blues
Machine" on Heavy Psych Sounds, they harness their most expansive
production to date.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Born in 2011 from the ashes of Italian heavy rock four-piece
Gandhi’s Gunn, it didn’t take long for ISAAK to sign a worldwide deal on US
label Small Stone Records for the reissue of their ass-kicking debut album “The
Longer The Beard The Harder The Sound” in June 2013. Oozing thundering riffs
and raw energy, the Genoa
foursome has the knack for assembling the heaviest-sounding licks with a
rip-roaring attitude that make the listener instantly raise their fist in the
air. In 2016, they released their sophomore album "Sermonize" in
collaboration with Heavy Psych Sounds and Small Stone Records. Seven years
later, ISAAK returned strong with their third album "Hey" on Heavy
Psych Sounds, dubbed as "a jubilantly heavy burst of stoner swagger"
by US
metal tastemaker Invisible Oranges. Considered a cornerstone act of the Italian
stoner rock scene, the foursome is known for delivering high-octane
steamrollers propelled by supersonic riffs, banging grooves and thunderous
vocals. </p>

Thin Lizzy, the legendary Irish powerhouse. When mentioned he is listed as
co-founder, fair enough I guess, but he did bring the band together and he came
up with the band name. He is also oftentimes severely overlooked in the history
of Thin Lizzy, something which is more and more rectified these days,
thankfully. But I believe since his tenure with the band, three studio albums,
failed to garner the sales it was hoped for, despite the mega-hit single
'Whiskey In The Jar', and his split with Thin Lizzy was acrimonious to say the
least, Eric was made the scapegoat and that's why his name rarely gets the
recognition it deserves. Give him credit because he is a brilliant guitar
player.<p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">'Remembering...' is 254 pages full of stories from when he
was born on September 3rd 1947 all the way up to 2019 and beyond. He doesn't
hold back on anything, nor is he trying to hide behind a rock. No, he tells it
all, the good and the bad. In the first part of the book Eric reminisce about
his childhood years and what it was like growing up in Belfast in the late 40s and through the 50s.
Harbouring dreams of becoming a vet, dreams that were squashed the moment Eric
heard music in the shape of The Shadows, The Beatles and Rolling Stones. From
now on music was all he cared about, especially the blues-infused rock the
Stones brought appealed strongly with the fledgling guitarist. As the years
rolled on Eric worked hard on being a professional musician, in Scotland,
England and back home in Northern Ireland when he was handpicked by Van
Morrison, Belfast's famous son, to play guitar in Them Again, the continuation
of Van's previous band, Them. However, this incarnation was shortlived, so Eric
moved again, this time south to Dublin
and the burgeoning and well-paid showband scene by joining The Dreams.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the second part Eric digs deep into his time with Thin
Lizzy, all the way from their formation up to his untimely departure from the
band. Countless stories are told from the early struggling days trying to, and
succeeding in creating a name for themselves on home turf. Just as much is told
about switching location by moving to London,
England,
looking to further their career. As is known fame did come Thin Lizzy's way but
at a cost for Bell.
His personal life as well as his professional career deteriorated rapidly which
all erupted during that disastrous homecoming gig in Belfast.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The third part of the book was basically a blank canvas for
me as Eric's life after Thin Lizzy was rather unknown to yours truly. So the
stories told from this era are very interesting and jaw-dropping to say the
least. Read 'Remembering...' and you know what I mean. His visits to Dubai, Ukraine
and Russia
with his own band are especially entertaining and revealing! As is his
recollection of the time spent with Noel Redding Band and Dick
Heckstall-Smith's Mainsqueeze, a band who ended up becoming Bo Diddley's
touring band for a while. On a personal note it was fun to read about a Philip
Lynott/Thin Lizzy tribute show in Malmö,
Sweden, he
performed at with Brian Downey which I attended as well as a Swedish club tour
he did in the early 90s. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was great reading about Eric's life and have a lot of
blanks filled out finally. He's made some bad decisions in life, who hasn't,
but he is still soldiering on not giving up. That's very evident as he lays his
life out for anyone to read and dissect. </p>

originally conceived in 2022, as a recording project between guitarist Max
Boogie a.k.a. Jim Bacchi (Hittman, Fuzzbubble, The Tikiyaki Orchestra) and Drop
Dee a.k.a. Daren Ford (Red Square Black, Ravine, The Generals) as a way to
pursue their passion for all things Stoner and Boogie... mammoth guitar riffs,
bellowing vocals, and the swagger of early '70s Detroit rock nʼ roll -- dirty,
fuzzy, with just a dusting of doom, and whole lotta boogie (not Disco... Heavy
Boogie Rock.)</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">The cyclonic drumming of Tom ʻKnucklesʼ Hernandez (Lords of
Altamont, Superbeez) propels the band past the sludge and doom pace, and
guitarist Richard ʻRCʼ Clarkʼs guitar adds the necessary beef to the mix,
fattening up the tone, and added vocal duties.</p><br /><p class="MsoNormal">Presented here in its full length album glory, the bandʼs
debut, Stoned Again serves up a classic blend of all the aforementioned genres
in its own unique hybrid. Listeners have drawn comparisons to Orange Goblin, Fu
Manchu, even Motorhead... Of course the Sabbath influence is there, but throw
in some old Kiss, UFO, Budgie and classic early 80ʼs metal as well... “Stoned
Again" focuses on songwriting more than any particular “sound”, so there
is a bit more of classic rock structure to the songs, but all heaviness is
there, a bit of space-out psychedelia, some epic guitar jams, and of course...
riffs o' plenty. Dig it!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Vocalist Krista Shipperbottom enthuses, "Straighten
your crown and sit comfortably on your throne because our new single “Creating
a King” will have you at the edge of your seat. It’s jam packed with soaring
leads, racing drums and did we mention a damn catchy chorus?! This song may
seem as though it has emerged from a fairytale land but is more than meets the
eye. With its main lesson being “knowing your worth and not letting anyone take
your power away from you” this song strives to build strength and confidence
within people so they can conquer whatever life throws their way!“</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With "Creating A King," LUTHARO not only sets the
stage for Chasing Euphoria but also reaffirms their status as titans of the

<p class="MsoNormal">Melodic metal outfit LUTHARO returns with a cacophony of all
that is metal! The Canadian metallers bring forth their signature mixture of
traditional heavy metal, melodic death metal, thrash metal and more on their
latest effort, Chasing Euphoria, the follow-up to their critically lauded debut
full-length Hiraeth. Due out March 15th 2024 via Atomic Fire Records, Chasing
Euphoria is as destructive and violent as it is soaring and captivating.

<p class="MsoNormal">About LUTHARO:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Formed in 2014, LUTHARO strive to sculpt an epic sound that
sees aspects of power and death colliding, combining artfully crafted melodies,
harmonies and precision with hard-hitting power and force. Members Krista
Shipperbottom (vocals), Victor Bucur (guitar), John Raposo (guitar), Chris
Pacey (Bass) and Cory Hofing (drums) may have found their groove on this new
record, but don’t expect them to fall into a rut. LUTHARO opens the throttle
all the way and barrels forward into new territories.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After releasing two EPs, LUTHARO pulled out all the stops on
Hiraeth, the debut full-length album that was released on October 15th, 2021.
Following their 2018 debut EP UNLEASH THE BEAST, and 2020 EP WINGS OF AGONY,
Hiraeth saw the quintet push their compositional and performance skills further
than ever before. What Hiraeth brought forth, Chasing Euphoria now amplifies.
Expertly balancing hauntingly beautiful atmospheres with raw power and
aggression. A fantastically epic journey that needs to be experienced to be
believed.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recorded by drummer Cory Hofing at Coho Studio, with
additional recording by Thomas Ireland and mixing and mastering by Lasse
Lammert of LSD Studio, Chasing Euphoria is out March 15th, 2024, via Atomic
Fire Records. The band partnered with Niklas Sundin for the stunning artwork
featured on the cover. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Prepare your necks for a maelstrom of windmills as Chasing
Euphoria is certain to provoke headbanging, boisterous pits and chanting
singalongs. An aggressive touring schedule will give you plenty of opportunity
to join them for an electrifying evening as the riffs and raucous beats pummel
you. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Shipperbottom's earth-shaking vocal performance is
impossible to ignore, from her thorny growls to soaring falsettos. - Metal
Injection</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">…The Canadians' self-released debut album is a primarily
traditional metal record with bags of melody, shitloads of muscular power and
large amounts of virtuoso musicianship….Bridging the gap between ancient and
modern with admirable skill, LUTHARO have dropped one of this year's most vital
debuts. - Blabbermouth</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Gatling gun riffage glues the listener to the wall,
practically challenging you not to get out of your seat and bang that head,
while huge melodies soar and dive in and out of that furious wall of noise. -

lost treasures from the early days of stoner rock - and this one starts with a
bang:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Awesome Machine</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is delivered here is a fuzz-drenched, bone-dry stoner
monolith with desert-blues - first-class production and yet exactly how stoner
sounded in the 2000s: raw, unpolished, honest and straight in the face.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These 4 guys from Gothenburg should actually be mentioned in
every breath with bands like Kyuss, Lowrider, Dozer, Clutch and Fu Manchu and
yet they still have these "secret tip" vibes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this new Ripple series will have the same success as
the absolutely great Turned to Stone Split Series, because this is the
beginning of a more than exciting journey!</p>
