New Music Monday – AFI ‘I Hope You Suffer’

Posted on by

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!

letlive release new music video ‘Banshee’

Posted on by

If you haven’t heard of letlive, I don’t really know what you’ve been doing with your life.. (no offence!) They’re one of the hottest tipped acts in rock at the moment. This music video should explain why. They’ve got energy and passion by the bucket load, plus some great songs. Think System of a Down meets Slipknot, but a bit more dancey. Yeah, I just said that.

Check out their trippy new video here:

letlive’s new album ‘The Blackest Beautiful’ is out on July 9.

New Music: Palisades – Outcasts

Posted on by

Who loves a good bit of sing-along post-hardcore? I do!

If you feel the same, you’ll most likely love this new single from New Jersey boys Palisades. ‘Outcasts’ is a catchy bit of pop rock, with a great ‘woah’ filled chorus and features the guest vocals of Mr Andy Leo from Crown The Empire. Oh, AND its got a weird, distorted video involving a sandpit. Enough said..

Go on, have a listen. You’ll be singing along in no time..

Lonely The Brave ‘Black Saucers’

Posted on by

Happy new music er, Tuesday? Here’s a brilliant bite of straight up rock goodness for you to enjoy this evening.

Lonely The Brave have recently signed to Hassle Records (home of We Are The Ocean, if you didn’t already know..). They’ve also been tipped for success by the likes of Rock Sound, Classic Rock and Kerrang!, which is never a bad thing.

This lyric video for ‘Black Saucers’ should explain why. Neat vocals, good riffs and a definite case of substance over style (I’m sure they have style, you’re missing my point) makes a good band, and by those standards this is a really good band.

Check it out below:

Lots of love,

Hello Lazarus New Video ‘Stallions’

Posted on by

Woops, its another late music bite tonight.. I’ve been slacking / rushed off my feet with other things this week. (That’s a poor excuse, I know..)

Anyway, here’s a lovely bit of aural goodness that I hope you’ll enjoy! Bristol kids Hello Lazarus have been compared to a lot of bands that they don’t really sound like. However, they do sound good, so here’s their new video for ‘Stallions’ (which looks, but doesn’t sound White Stripes-esque).

Enjoy!

Chester Bennington + Stone Temple Pilots – ‘Dead and Bloated’

Posted on by

Yes, you did hear me right. It seems Mr Chester Bennington, of Linkin Park fame has teamed up with Stone Temple Pilots. He’s even surprisingly good at the epic classic rock vocals. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise given that he’s used to screaming away in his regular band outfit, but that’s an impressively deep set of lungs he’s got on him.

Looks like this could be the new lineup for the band, given that they fired vocalist Scott Weiland earlier this year..

Check out Chester’s performance below:

New Music Monday: Stone Sour – Do Me A Favour

Posted on by

Yes, so I’m a little slow at getting on this one. Maybe as I haven’t heard it yet, you haven’t either though? The amazing Stone Sour, featuring Corey Taylor from Slipknot have released a creepy, animated video for ‘Do Me A Favor’, taken from their new album ‘House of Gold & Bones Part 2’, which is out now!

The video is something of a cross between Sin City and Fearless Vampire Killers (the band, not the film..), plus a few zombies / explosions thrown in for good measure.

Enjoy!

New Music Monday: Fort Hope – Time Is The Rope

Posted on by

I saw Fort Hope at Camden Underworld last Wednesday supporting Fearless Vampire Killers and was pretty blown away by how amazing they are. These guys are pretty straight up melodic post-hardcore (melodic is my favourite word of the moment) and they’re just great really.

They’ve got a new single ‘Control’, which is out soon and have just started a new UK tour with We Are The In Crowd.

‘Time Is The Rope’ shows off a bit more of their ’emotional’ side, with a brief nod to The Early November and is one of the tracks that they performed beautifully at the Underworld. Its pretty brave doing a slow number when you’re the support act, but they pulled it off really well.

New Video From Young Kato ‘Something Real’

Posted on by

Does anyone remember that Funeral For A Friend series of videos from a while back? The ones with a man and woman whose faces were covered in cloth? This video from indie kids Young Kato (they really are young!) reminds me a bit of it. Which isn’t a bad thing.

The video for ‘Something Real’ follows lead singer Tommy Wright as he’s unceremoniously dragged through towns and onto the coast by a never ending rope, with his bandmates featuring in cameo roles. The track is a catchy little number, and a pretty good one for the finally-here summer, so its definitely worth a listen.. Check it out below:
