New Music Monday – AFI ‘I Hope You Suffer’

So while I was having a lovely long birthday weekend (it was great, thanks for asking..) it seems I missed out on something pretty important! After a couple of months of ring-esque teaser videos, the amazing AFI have finally released a stream of their new single ‘I Hope You Suffer’.

As always with AFI, its never going to be ‘Sing The Sorrow’ all over again. (Which was, in my opinion, a pretty perfect album from the band). However, it sound like the band are steering back towards their heavier sound which always carried more passion and impact than the slightly more celebrity-focused releases of late..

Have a listen!

New Music Monday: Champs ‘My Spirit Is Broken’

Ooops, its another late one today! My excuse this time is that I’ve been busy celebrating my birthday! (I won’t tell you how old I am now, its too depressing..)

Anyway, here’s a lovely little indie number to sweep you off to bed. Who doesn’t want to watch beautiful men diving into swimming pools for no apparent reason? No-one, that’s who.

Here’s Champs ‘My Spirit Is Broken’. (Think a more pleasant version of Editors).

Stream The New Album From Fall Out Boy ‘Save Rock And Roll’

Stuck for something to listen to? Here’s a quick tip – stream the new album from Fall Out Boy, the eagerly awaited ‘Save Rock And Roll’.
Despite loving all the songs, I hadn’t remembered to buy it. Plus with an album with such strong singles, you have to wonder how the rest of the record shapes up. Luckily, this one does pretty fine, thank you.
Have a listen!

New Music: Badluck – Golden Coast

Hands up who needs a little more sunshine in their lives? No-one? Well this might at least get you through the massive overheating (unless you have air-con, in which case, I’m jealous, but you’re probably doing irreparable damage to the environment).

Glasgow’s Calum Doris (previously of Flood of Red), has just released his new track ‘Golden Coast’ on Soundcloud, under the guise of Badluck all for your aural enjoyment. It’s lovely and summery and a little bit like Yellowcard. Which isn’t a bad thing.


Have fun listening to this while you can’t sleep..

August Burns Red New Video ‘Count It All As Lost’

Now you probably know that I love a good lyric video, and the ones being released just seem to get better and better. Honestly, sometimes its hard to tell what’s a promo video and what’s a lyric one now! This new video from hardcore rockers August Burns Red for ‘Count It All As Lost’ might fall into the latter column, but the amazing graphics would be passable for a Korn video..

Check it out below:

New Music Monday: Nine Inch Nails (Epilepsy Warning..)

Well its not unlike Nine Inch Nails to come up with a catchy, electronicy tune with a creepy video, but this one is definitely worth watching (unless you have epilepsy, in which case, please don’t).  Featuring a simple vocal hook and a jittering, unnerving series of image transitions, ‘Came Back Haunted’ is going to be stuck in your head for days.

The only thing that slightly ruins it is the confused looking image of Trent Reznor you get to see if you watch this on the actual YouTube page..

New Music – Ashestoangels ‘Dorian’

Ever wanted to go to a Victorian-esque bar, gamble a little and then rough up the place? Well now you can live vicariously through the antics of Bristol goth-punks Ashestoangels. The dashing guys even dress up for the part. You really don’t want to miss this..

FYI, these guys are on tour next month too, check the dates here..
