The Damn Times

The Damn Times smell of the essence of Austin's punk rock scene, emitting a sound that is as tight as it is raw. With anthems like "Don't Like People" fueling their live shows, the band attacks every note with intensity, grit, and spit. Formed in 2000, The Damn Times have played about every venue in Austin and have made a few treks up and down the West Coast.
Their punk prowess bleeds into other acts, as well. Drummer Coby Cardosa can be seen on organ with The Crack Pipes. Bassist Jeff Linton spent some time lending his low-end to both Sons of Hercules and The Stepbrothers. Chad Nichols when not ripping leads, fronts The Transgressors and plays acoustic guitar with T Tex Edwards and the Texwardians. Ryan Anderson also plays bass in local punk outfit The Hormones, and continues to record bands in his studio, Active Sound Recording.
The band's uber-long-awaited EP, produced by garage punk producer extraordinaire Mike Mariconda, has collected dust since 2000. But a shelved project has not held the band back, as they've earned opening spots for Flesh Tones, Deadbolt, Gaza Strippers and many others along the way.

SEGRESSION - Painted In Blood (2014)

Consider this your call to arms metal fans, SEGRESSION are back, in their most powerfully brutal form yet. Their new album, independent release "Painted In Blood" is dropping in September and it promises to throw you back into your chair and blow any expectations you might have had well and truly out of the equation.

The release follows up the iTunes Metal Chart No 1. "Never Dead" which opened the eyes of fans and critics alike, however, “Painted In Blood” truly sees Segression's sound evolve to a whole new level of impressively tight, bone crushing riffs and hooks, set to eclipse anything that they have produced in the past. In addition to the already solid line up of axe men Michael Katselos,
Sven Sellin and enigmatic front man Chris Rand, Segression now welcome another member to the family, their new drummer Adam Bunnell.

With their well received and critically acclaimed releases; L.I.A (1996), 5th of the 5th (1997),
Smile (2000), Segression (2002) and Never Dead (2011), the band has garnered the attention of labels (Road Runner, Murder Machine Records, Riot/Warner), promoters and bands from all over, touring Australia and abroad with acts such as...Slipknot, Pantera, Machine Head, Soulfly, Cradle of Filth, Ozzy Osbourne, Fozzy, Strapping Young Lad and Fear Factory.

Their new live show is undeniably going to produce their strongest and most powerful performances to date. The dynamic sound, energy and enthusiasm within the current line up works, and works very well. Segression has always put their all into the live experience and this is no exception, this is simply another level.

When a band has had the opportunity to accomplish so many milestones backed by the loyal support of their fans, “career defining” is a big call to make, but “Painted In Blood” is that heavy, brutal call.

Segregated Aggressive Army, both new and old, answer the call, Come Together, Come in Pain!!!
