I'm Not Actually Here is the debut single from a New York-based
alternative rock artist ChromiumHearts. ChromiumHearts does
everything in the song, vocals, guitar, bass, and drums. It's an upbeat,
danceble grunge song with pretty dark lyrical content about being depressed
and giving up on life. You can find influences from bands like Nirvana, Pixies
and Title Fight.
Cleveland-based outfit Mud Whale just released their new
single“Scapegoat,” the latest from the band’s upcoming debut album
Everything in Moderation.“Scapegoat” follows Mud Whale’s
first single “Nutrient Burn,” released earlier this year. Erupting in a
fast-paced flash of big, driving guitars, pounding rhythms and ferocious
vocals, “Scapegoat” is a perfect demonstration of Mud Whale’s
fiercely dynamic sound.
Written as a response to the woefully played-out clickbait news articles
blaming millennials for the supposed downfall of American life,
“Scapegoat” is a high-powered rock song that demands an end to
unnecessary intergenerational hostility.
London-based rockers Memphis Stone and The Elevators just released their new single Summer. It's their last release ahead of their much-anticipated EP, “Not before time”. Summer
is a bona fide indie anthem, the sort of song you can see yourself waving your
lighter in the air to (or your phone torch if you don't have a lighter). It's
an ode to music festivals, a celebration of being in a field with thousands of
other people and sharing the amazing experience of live music.
“This is an industry that is close to our hearts and we’re determined to try
and do something to help people whose struggles will continue - today,
tomorrow and for months to come,” says the band’s drummer, Lenny Bonetti. “As a session drummer, I have personal experience of this. Last year was
horrendous. I saw my diary go from being full of tours and festivals across
Europe to nothing within the space of a few days!”
All proceeds from sales and streaming will go to MakeItBlue, a non-profit
company dedicated to raising funds for mental health charities with a
particular focus on the live events industry.
Norwεgian hard rockers Electric High just released their new single
Fire! Already after the first few notes of Electric High’s new
song, it is clear that the band has fully recovered from the shaky «hangover»
of their previous release, Trembling Bones. Where the last single
started off easy with an acoustic/percussive intro, FIRE! ignites with
full electric power from the get-go, with a thumping main riff and a
sing-along chorus that keeps the flame burning to the very end!
FIRE! was recorded at Solslottet Studios, in Bergen, Norway, produced by
Iver Sandøy and it is followed by a music video well worth watching.
The video was directed by singer PV Staff, and captures the burning
energy of the song perfectly!
Electric High goes straight for your throat, fronted by two
in-your-face lead singers, while the guitarist, bassist and drummer shoot
out pure electric power. This is a band that continuously gives us excellent
hard rock music.
In one word : Excellent !!!
Band Members: PV Staff — lead vocals Olav Iversen
— lead vocals Marius Mørch — guitars Einride Torvik

Toronto punk rockers The Bare Minimum just released their new single
Bitter Pill.The track reminds the sound of early AFI, Misfits, and the
Offspring and is a return to the band's roots. Bitter Pill sounds like
both a garage and stadium rock anthem and drenches the classic punk sound in a
contemporary space fuzz.
Rising out of the underground Toronto punk scene,
The Bare Minimum channel but subvert skate-punk into something new.
Fuelled by coffee and too much internet, they've been dishing out singles
throughout the pandemic. Having once shared the stage with Meat Wave, No
Fun At All, and Adrenalized; they've redirected that energy into their
songwriting and online presence.
Sydney-based post-hardcore band Watching Wolves released today their
new single Mayflower. The sound is metalcore with influences from bands
like Bring Me The Hoirzon, Polaris, Architects and Thornhill. Lyrically, the
song was written to elevate and explore the situation and feelings surrounding
the band when they recently lost someone who was very close to them.
Mayflower also delves into the every day battle of moving forward with
life, despite knowing that certain aspects of that life cannot, and will not
ever be the same again.
The single was recorded and produced by Chris Blancato at his
studio in Sydney. Blancato also produced the drums and other
additional sections. It was mixed and mastered by Lance Prenc.
In two words : Must Listen !!!
