Exclusive Song/Video Premiere For CHILD's Stunning New Single I TRIED From Upcoming New Album REBIRTH

REBIRTH is the brand new album of the Australian hard rock band CHILD

With the release of their fourth full-length album, Rebirth, CHILD marks a definitive shift in their creative trajectory.

Moving beyond their established sound, the band showcases a refined focus on songwriting—stripping back the noise to reveal the heart of their message.

The record serves as an unfiltered dialogue with the self, confronting the obstacles that block our evolution and demanding the strength to overcome them. It is a gritty, honest document of survival and the messy beauty of becoming who you are meant to be.

Dedicated to David Paul of Orpheus Pickups and The Guitar Hospital. We don't know what we would have done without you. R.I.P

We're excited to premiere the stunning new track I TRIED from their forthcoming new album thanks to the amazing folks over at Purple Sage PR and Heavy Psych Sounds.

The Lowdown

Combine the heavy emotion of the blues, the tone and raw power of hard rock, the finesse of soul and a twist of 60’s psychedelia. It will give you a visceral musical experience that plays directly to your being. That is CHILD. Living for their art, the pubs, the booze, the endless highways and the blues is what makes this band who they are. Child are a must see for those who are worshippers at “the electric church”. The freedom and power of a live performance is important to CHILD in their approach to music, endeavouring to never perform the same way twice. They look forward to once again bringing this to the world on their continued search for sonic paradise.

Since the release of their runaway self-titled debut in 2014, Child have continued to develop their unique brand of heavy blues through constant writing and extensive national/international touring. The band released the follow-up ‘Blueside’ in December 2016, which builds on this foundation to deliver a disc of pure sonic expression whilst following in the long tradition of the blues. 2018 saw the release of Child’s first EP, simply titled ‘I’. Recorded live to tape, ‘I’ is a glimpse into the boundless directions that could be taken on upcoming releases.

Now the band will release a brand new album via Heavy Psych Sounds Records in June 2026.

Exclusive Song Premiere Of Sludge/Post-Metallers WE FOLLOW THE EARTH New Song SIRENS From Upcoming New Album FOAMDRINKER

We Follow the Earth is a sludgy doom band that will occasionally lean into a post-metal sound. Located in Winston Salem, North Carolina, the core of their sound is built on slow, crushing riffs, ever present soul shaking bass, and aggressive, strained screams.

Started as a solo project for Matthew Crotts, with his brother, Robert Crotts, offering to write the concept story and lyrics for the debut album “Lightbearer” in 2023. Shortly after releasing the debut album, writing started for the 2nd concept album “Extinct”, which was recorded/engineered by Jamie King and released in March 2024.

This new album, “Foamdrinker”, takes the listener on a journey through a world that is, for unknown reasons, stuck in a perpetual winter. Facing extinction, our characters are willing to go to any lengths to survive, but dangers beyond the ice lurk in the depths of the ocean and within ourselves. The struggle to overcome these challenges that we are presented with, both the external and the internal superstitions about how we think the world should work from the crux of this story. How we balance selfless acts against selfish ones can save or doom the world.

Thanks to the amazing folks at Desert Bloom PR, we're excited to premiere the debut single and video for SIRENS from the upcoming new album - FOAMDRINKER.

New Dawn Fades is a heavy rock band from Philadelphia, blending doom, grunge, and metal influences from bands like Soundgarden, Corrosion of Conformity, Down, Black Sabbath, High on Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, and Mercyful Fate. The band features vocalist and guitarist GFA (Ritual Earth, Halo of Snakes), guitarist Corey Pettingill (Blackhand), bassist Algar (Green Meteor), and drummer Steve Roche (Saetia, Off Minor). Together, they deliver music that’s both heavy and dynamic, combining crushing riffs, strong grooves, raw energy, and melodic vocals with memorable hooks.

Their upcoming album, LORES, set for release in March 2026, is a focused collection of eight tracks that showcase the band at their most commanding. “Villains Come to Light” is an explosive opening track, featuring thrash-tinged riffs and relentless momentum, paired with lyrics that confront hidden threats and the challenge of facing betrayal head on. “Meet Me at Sundown” follows with swinging, driving rhythms and layered guitars, while the lyrics explore confrontation and resilience. “True Till Death” leans on heavy grooves and swagger, paired with lyrics about loyalty, defiance, and unwavering commitment. “Souls” is a bit more fuzzed-out and bass heavy, with hypnotic riffs underscoring lyrics that grapple with loss, personal damage, and inner struggle.

Exclusive Song Premiere Of Sludge/Stoner Metallers THREE TOWERS Stunning New Song THE CRIME From Their Upcoming New Album

The Crime” by Three Towers is the first song of the album “Ties That Bind”. A slower, sludgy intro gives way to more thrashy, pummeling riffs. A barrage of double bass and guttural growls narrate the violent act that sets the album’s crime-and-punishment theme in motion.

Recorded and mastered at Earhammer Studios by Greg Wilkinson

Forged in the smoke and slime of Oakland’s DIY metal scene, Three Towers formed in 2017 from the ashes of past projects such as Zombie Holocaust, Agata, Pillager, and Egg Shen. Blending stoner, sludge, rock n roll and Bay Area thrash, the trio delivers a heavy-hitting dose of Stoner Crossover for fans of all things heavy.

With 2 tours, 3 EP's & an international split release under their belt, the band has now partnered with Wet Records to finally dish out their long awaited, debut full length LP, "Ties That Bind" due to be released July 13th!

Exclusive Song Premiere Of Psych Rockers MESSINESS New Song Previous Life

Photo by Roberta Ferrante

Previous Life’ is the first single from the upcoming debut album by the Milan-based psychedelic act Messiness, set to be released in autumn 2025 via StoneFree Records (LP) and Tarla Records (Digital).

Parodically referencing the classics of psychedelic rock, ‘Previous Life’ transforms nostalgia into a commodity, mapping out a non-existent past instead of longing for real memories. It portrays the present as a sensory overload and an unsustainable hyperreality for an empty generation, while proposing an escape into an imaginary era where absence becomes a luxury and presence is elevated. The refrain, "I'm making plans for my previous life," functions as a mantra of the digital age, underscoring the absurdity of planning for the future while idealizing a past that was never truly lived.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in the shadows of Milan’s fashion district, Messiness walks a deliberately unfashionable path. The band orbits around Sicilian polymath Massimiliano Raffa – musician, sociologist, and writer joined by sonic wanderers from the city's underground. Messiness crafts an explosive postmodern fusion where psychedelic rock collides with space-funk, free jazz interleaves with baroque pop and Canterbury sound meshes with art rock. Their distinctive Mediterranean spirit infuses the music with rich textures drawn from traditional Eastern Mediterranean sounds, creating an eclectic mix that defies any categorisation, creating an eclectic mix that defies any categorisation. Messiness' debut album will be released by StoneFree Records in collaboration with Tarla Records, an independent record label based in Istanbul, Turkey.

Garage Rock/Punk/Stoner Rockers FVZZ POPVLI Premiere New Song/Video For TEMPLE OF DOOM From Upcoming New Album MELTING POP

Garage/Noise/Fuzz/Punk/Stoner Rockers FVZZ POPVLI will be releasing their new album MELTING POP via Heavy Psych Sounds on Friday 07th February 2025. You can read my review here.

The cool folks over at Purple Sage PR and Heavy Psych Sounds have allowed me to premiere the excellent track TEMPLE OF DOOM from the upcoming new album which you can watch below:

FUZZ POPVLI say this about the song: 

"We love Indiana Jones, so we wrote a track about Indy himself, fighting the bad guys and always coming out on top. It fills us with hope for the world we live in, which could really use some. In this song we put all that really is “Melting Pop” for us: Fvzz-heavy, glorious, catchy, powerful riffs and still you can do a sing along in the choruses. We want “Temple of Doom” to go over the boundaries between different genres of heavy rock music and make people having fun listening to it as much as we enjoy playing it. Did we succeeded?"

Band Bio

Founded in Rome by Pootchie and Datio in A.D. MMXVI, the idea was to build a powertrio with a direct and rough way to deliver heavy fuzzy riffs. Their sound melts Black Sabbath-style heavy riffs with the roughest garagepunk bands attitude -like The Stooges-, adding the psychedelia from the 70's to create their own style!

The band released and promoted an "EP" in May 2017, with a promotional tour in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. In June 2017 they became a part of Heavy Psych Sounds Records (Bongzilla, Pentagram, Brant Bjork, Nick Olivieri, Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man, Nebula, Giöbia, Duel, Black Rainbows.) roster to promote their 1st album "FVZZ DEI". 

Released in September 2017, the album has brought the band on more than 70 european stages in 8 countries, giving them the chance to play in the mysterious DUNA JAM. In June 2018 the band recorded their 2nd album "MAGNA FVZZ", which has been released in October 2018 followed by a 75 gigs european tour, with highlights in festivals like HPS Fest, Le Grand Incendie, Gouha, Berlin Swamp Fest and Tabernas Desert Rock Festival. In 2019 the band signed with the indie r'n'r label RETROVOX to release their 3rd studio album named FVZZ POPVLI III in March the 3rd 2023, then Datio left the the band, III was supported by 4 long tour legs across Europe in the name of Punk Rock.

Fvzz Popvli, among others, shared the stage with: White Hills, Black Rainbows, Naxatras, Giöbia, Ufomammut, Karma To Burn, Rotor, Zodiac, DYSE, Powder for Pigeons, Lili Refrain, El Perro, Hypnos, The Tazers, Mars Red Sky, Mother Engine, The Midnight Ghost Train and much more. In November 2024 the band signed again an agreement with Heavy Psych Sounds, to release a new album on Q1 2025.

Exclusive Premiere Of Stoner/Doom Metallers BANDSHEE New Song 19 LASHES

THE LONG ROAD has been a long time coming for Bandshee. They started kicking around the idea of a Lord of the Rings/ Led Zeppelin IV concept project in 2021 and in 2024 finally hit the studio armed with a lot more than a few ditties about elves. THE LONG ROAD has become, for its creators, at least, an album about the times we're living in, the social injustices, bigotry, the wealth disparities. I dunno, maybe these things are the orcs we have to fight. I brought a wizard staff microphone to the fight, what about you?

We're excited to premiere the superb new song 19 Lashes from Bandshee's upcoming new album thanks to the cool folks over at Desert Bloom PR.

The Long Road is available to pre-order now on CD/DD/Vinyl and will be released January 31st 2025.

Hell Yeah - WARPSTORMER | London’s Rising Space Metal Riff Machines Announce Debut Album & Single

Hero-questing space-crusading heavy metal... a bit like Orange Goblin at twice the speed.” - KERRANG!

“The band’s thrash-influenced stoner metal is a whirlwind of dirty, driven riffs that roar in your ears with all the confidence of a mad lion!” - DOOM CHARTS

For what initially started out as a plague-time project, the South London-based quartet have wasted no time at all in making a name for themselves amid the crowded confines of the UK underground metal scene.

WARPSTORMER, whose name is a subtle nod to the tabletop universe of Warhammer, are influenced as much by the ferocity of bands like High on Fire and Baroness, as they are by ambitious sci-fi centred classics like Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.

“As you might expect given the name, we draw pretty heavily on sci-fi and fantasy themes in our lyrics,” explains vocalist Richard J Morgan. “But in such a way that they serve as a sort of creative vessel for exploring the more psychologically harrowing aspects of 21st century life.”

Their 2022 EP, Here Comes Hell – recorded by Morgan with close friends Matt Folley (drums) and Green Lung guitarist, Scott Black – was released to critical acclaim in 2022 as both a statement of intent and brutal smackdown on the recruitment market. Having since established a working line-up, adding bassist Simon Doggett; guitarist Adam Davies and drummer James Loh, the band’s debut self-titled album arrives this November on the recently established label, London Doom Collective.

“The first EP got us up and running,” continues Morgan. “It attracted a line-up of excellent players who understood the vibe of what we were trying to do, and we spent the next year or so rehearsing, writing and playing as many shows as we could. By the end of that year, we headed into the studio to make our first full record as a proper band. We’re really pleased with how it’s turned out and very excited to share it with a wider audience, live and on record.”

Recorded in and around appearances at Desertfest London and Bloodstock Open Air over the summer with producer Wayne Adams (Green Lung, Gnome, Wasted Death) like the “warpstorms” that inspired its creation, the album is a hellish, messed-up realm of sonic chaos. Melding stoner-doom, thrash, and classic metal into something akin to 'speed doom', WARPSTORMER conflates existential bleakness and bludgeoning, yet catchy riffs, into one unmissable package.

WARPSTORMER’s self-titled debut will be released on 29th November 2024 via London Doom Collective and can be pre-ordered in several editions and formats including Cosmic Blast (transparent magenta/purple splatter, limited to 50 copies) and Eldritch Blue (100 copies) LPs, with CD, cassette and digital versions rounding out the offerings.

Cosmic Rockers ERRONAUT Unveil Debut Album THE SPACE INBETWEEN Release New Single ‘1202’

Strap yourself in and set the controls for the heart of the sun with former Black Atlas members’ new cinematic space rock outfit, Erronaut.

The Space Inbetween is released via London Doom Collective on 30th August 2024 | Pre-order here
Listen to previous single ‘Lost Cause’ here
FFO: Black Sabbath, Lowrider, Fu Manchu, Pink Floyd

You can hear the exclusive premiere of their fantastic new song 1202 from their stunning and sublime new album THE SPACE INBETWEEN



Quote from drummer Sam Gates

"Our new single ‘1202’ was originally created as an intro for our live shows but during lockdown we felt it had the beginnings of a full song, one that really came into its own once we were able to get in a room together and work on it. The title comes from the 1202 alarm code from Apollo 11 and lyrically, the song is about delirium and following the theme of being marooned on the moon, hearing voices, and fighting for survival. This song is the sixth track on the album. With its mix of heavy sections and melancholic lyrics it leads into a contemplative middle section and is finally topped off with a furious finale. It really makes for a storied and interesting composition that is by far, one of our favourites on the album. We’re really proud of how this track came to be, and the journey we took to create it."

Press Info

Originally formed in 2015 as Black Atlas, the Hertfordshire-based quartet – born anew as Erronaut – are thrilled to announce the official worldwide release of their debut album, The Space Inbetween, this summer on London Doom Collective.

Consisting of vocalist/guitarist, Mikey Ward; fellow guitar slinger, Peter Hunt, bassist Simon Wilson, and drummer Sam Gates (whose arrival sparked this new iteration of the band) Erronaut’s singular sound has continued to evolve at every turn. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 70s rock of Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd, the 90s grunge of Soundgarden, and stoner metal of modern torchbearers Lowrider and Fu Manchu, the band seek to conquer new frontiers.

"When we sat down to start writing, we made a concerted effort to push and explore ourselves as artists and collaborators," explains vocalist Mikey Ward. "With the amount of work we've done to create it, we’re really proud of how this album has turned out, and we feel this is a real representation of what we are trying to achieve, both in the studio and as a live act on stage."

Employing heavy atmospheric rock to power lyrical subjects that focus on love, loss, and existential introspection, the dynamic foursome has well and truly delivered The Space Inbetween. Hook-laden guitars conjure soaring post-metal vistas and showcase a huge progression in their song writing. From the volatile cosmic sludge of ‘Way Down Below’ to the down-tuned, distorted environs of new single ‘Lost Cause’, the band crafts immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to distant realms.

More than just a studio project, Erronaut is also a force to be reckoned with live. Known for their electrifying stage energy, their formidable reputation precedes them having performed at gigs and festivals across the UK as well as appearing at Bloodstock 2021.

Fully realised and breath-taking in its execution, The Space Inbetween is released via London Doom Collective on 30th August 2024 and can be pre-ordered, here.

Doom/Sludge/Stoner Rockers GIGANTUM Show Off Their Doomy Rock Stylings With New Single/Video For “Necron99” From Upcoming New Album

GIGANTUM Show Off Their Doomy Rock Stylings With New Single “Necron99” - Debut S/T Album Out Sept 2024

Gigantum, the innovative hard rock band from Los Angeles, USA continues to experiment with the genre norms as they release their second single “Necron99” from their upcoming self-titled debut album slated to hit online retailers on September 6, 2024. Following the successful launch of the single “Monkey King” last month, this new track delves deeper into the band’s eclectic influences and creative synergy, offering fans another taste of what’s to come. 

Vocalist/bassist Mia X comments on the single:

“A lot of the songs are about conversations that we have at practice. Necron99 came about when Mark told us about this movie he was really into and wanted us to check out called, WIZARDS. After watching it, I went down a rabbit hole to learn more and when he started playing the riff that is now Necron99, I started thinking about the importance of what the movie was portraying.”

“Necron99” has a very heavy, doomy industrial feel that takes the listener into darkness. Gigantum works collaboratively, coming up with riffs that bounce off each other, and in each track, the different ideas and musical influences of the musicians can shine through. The result is an EP that is as complex as it is compelling, offering listeners a glimpse into the band's creative process.

“Necron99” could be considered the modern-day “War Pigs” and is recommended for fans of Fu Manchu, Mastodon, and Red Fang.

Watch and listen to the lyric video for “Necron99” via its premiere below thanks to the cool folks over at Asher Media PR

Due out on September 6th, 2024, Gigantum's self-titled album is available for pre-order at https://gigantumband.bandcamp.com.

Classic Rock/Hard Rock/Stoner Rockers MASHEENA Release New Song/Video For GOING DOWN Through Majestic Mountain Records

Going Down is a cover of the classic blues tune written by Don Nix, made famous by Freddie King, and covered by probably every blues band in the world.

Released as a digital single through Majestic Mountain Records.

Still, the energy of the original really resonated with us, so we decided to record a version anyway! During what we ended up calling the "GlaMasheena"- sessions with super producer Iver Sandøy at the helm at Solslottet Studios in December of '23, we tried to get a kind of glammy, 70s production on the tracks.

That sound is more apparent on the other track from those sessions, Married To Rock 'N' Roll, but still we're very happy with the result, and we had a great time recording. What more can you ask? We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it, and as much at love playing it live! Cover artwort for the single by the talented Martin Kvam.

For now, this concludes our little flirt with 70s glam rock, we just finished recording our second album at The Machine Shop in Dripping Springs, Texas, USA, with our new friend Machine (The Producer). Did we bring the glam and blues into those sessions? You’ll have to wait and see!

So, what’s next for Masheena? The release of Going Down marks the start of our first EU/UK tour, check the dates below:

25th of May: De Tanker in Noord, Amsterdam
26th of May: Signature Brew Haggerston, London
27th of May: Devils Dog Digbeth, Birmingham
28th of May: The Gryphon, Bristol
29th of May: Bear Cave, Bournemouth

Yellowknife's GNARWHAL Look Inwards With Provocative Title Track From Upcoming EP “Altered States” Out May 2024

Gnarwhal, the genre-bending rock phenomenon hailing from the remote northern Canadian city of Yellowknife, continues to captivate audiences with the release of their latest single, the title track from their upcoming album “Altered States”. The single is out now and the remainder of the fuzzy, doomy album is being released on May 24, 2024. The emotionally charged track offers a profound exploration of resilience and memory, weaving together intricate melodies and haunting lyrics that resonate with listeners on a deep and personal level. The band comments on the creation of the track:

“Altered States is interesting because when we went into the studio we hadn’t even fleshed the song out and it wasn’t near complete. Mark hadn’t finalized the vocal melody or lyrics and structurally the song wasn’t making a lot of sense. We were actually a bit tentative about including this in our studio time and having it on the EP. It was the last song we tracked. Once Layne laid down the drum tracks and we started working on bass and guitar, we knew we were onto something a bit different and cool.”

“Altered States” delves into themes of personal transformation and the enduring power of memory. The track serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of embracing our past experiences, even as we navigate the uncertainties of the present. The upcoming EP promises to deliver a diverse and introspective musical journey in which the band artfully navigates the realms of heavy alternative fuzz rock and progressive metal, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

Powerful and personal, the single “Altered States” invites the listener to look inward. It is recommended for fans of Kyuss, Mastodon, and Elder.

Listen to the lyric video for the EP's title track “Altered States” via its premiere on Outlaws of The Sun HERE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLtXbxLuFrY or below:

“Altered States” is due out on May 24, 2024, and available for pre-order at https://gnarwhalband.bandcamp.com

Exclusive Song Premiere Of Psych/Doom/Stoner Metallers KALGON New Song THE ISOLATE From Forthcoming Debut Album

Kalgon is a heavy psych / stoner doom trio from Western North Carolina. Kalgon combines the drone of throwback stoner doom, ethereal textures of post metal, and the pillaging gallop of thrash and black metal.

Opening for acts such as Lie Heavy, Indus Valley Kings, Smoke, Stormtoker, among others, Kalgon has developed a regional following around Asheville, NC. Live shows are ruled by raw dynamics and a dark, foreboding atmosphere.

For fans of Sleep, The Sword, Baroness, and Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats.

Kalgon’s 7 track debut album features the raw elements that have defined them since they began two years ago. With a truly DIY approach, Kalgon’s self-titled release portrays the trio as they sound, with minimal embellishment. The album was engineered by Kalgon and mixed by Kevin Boggs.

With heavy psych, thrash, blues and stoner-doom stylings matched with steady low end riffs, the album runs a varied and dynamic course, all while nodding to throwback doom grooviness.

Lyrically, the album tells a story of Kalgon, a fungus that reawakens from the Devonian period by having spores that remain preserved in the exosphere after a comet carries it into orbit around Earth for hundreds of millions of years. The fungus then begins to colonize the minds of humans, controlling them to reformulate the atmosphere of Earth for warmer, more favorable conditions and more methane for the hivemind parasitic space fungus.

Kalgon is 

Brandon Davis: Guitar and Vocal

Berten Lee Tanner: Bass and Vocal

Marc Russo: Drums

We're honoured to premiere the amazing new song The Isolate from their forthcoming self titled album which will be released on May 23rd 2024. The album will be released digitally and on Cassette Tape via Evil Noise Recordings

You can view the video from the following Dropbox link as well

Kalgon say this about the song "band: 

"The Isolate introduces us to the strain of mega-fungi that has developed a way to use the nervous system of humans as host. It does not kill its' host, rather uses them to do its' bidding, raising global temperature and humidity and releasing more methane. By any means necessary, it will develop a world more fitting to its' heyday, the Devonian period.

They spawn with the rain, careful of the ones left behind, conquered by the veiled surprise.  The Isolate is truly the terror of the ages."

The band has taken many forms since forming in 2010 and has been declared 'The loudest psychedelic rock band on the planet." by legendary compere Kozmik Ken. At the base of the current sonic obliteration team is a rhythm section of Tommy Duffin and Omar Aborida, a thunderous and cohesive unit which is then further propelled into the outer realms by Luigi Pasquini providing frantic italo synthesized electronics along with Calum Calderwood's mind bending, sky-shattering fiddle acrobatics.

Infinite Peaks is the long awaited ninth full length album from tumultuous Glaswegian astral travellers The Cosmic Dead, the album features two extended incantations recorded and mixed at Glasgow's 16 Ohm Recording Studio.

The album will be released on the 12th of April 2024 exclusively on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

To get you in the mood for this Spaced Out Extravaganza, we are lucky enough to be premiering the track "Navigator 9 Part III: Infinite Peaks" — this is the third and final part of a gigantic 20-minute jam that appears on the upcoming new album Infinite Peaks.

Band Members:

Omar Aborida - BASS, GUITARS, WAH

Tommy Duffin - DRUMS, WAH

Calum Calderwood - FIDDLE, WAH

Luigi Pasquini - SYNTHESIZER, WAH

Psych/Grunge/Stoner Rockers HIJSS Premiere New Song/Video BLOW OUT From Upcoming New Album

Grunge/Psych/Stoner/Blues Rock collective HIJSS release their wildly entertaining and outrageously heavy new album Stuck On Common Ground via Heavy Psych Sounds on Friday March 8th 2024.

With a mixture of heavy blues influenced riffs and synthesized Krautrock parts HIJSS tries to create a high dynamic range that will keep your attention at all time.

On top of gritty bass lines and ferocious drums lie cosmic guitars, tantalizing vocals and arpeggiated electronic drones.

All three band members come from a vast musical background. Their common denominator is with out a doubt a punkish attitude.

To get you in the mood for the new album we're excited to premiere their superb new track and video for BLOW OUT from the forthcoming new album Stuck On Common Ground. 

HIJSS state this about the track: 

"Blow Out has a raw grunge attitude, captivating listeners with its hypnotic verse and juicy chorus. High-gain bridges fill the gap. Its dynamic shifts will keep you engaged from start to finish.”

HIJSS Members

Lois Lane - GUITAR / VOCALS
Maurice - DRUMS
Pan - BASS / SYNTH

Heavy Psych Stoner Rockers JUKE COVE Release New Song/Video For WAIT From Upcoming New Album

Juke Cove, a heavy psychedelic rock trio from Leipzig, Germany, drops an electrifying new single "Wait", offering the first impression of their upcoming album. 

"Wait" is a musical kaleidoscope, blending stoner, desert, and psychedelic rock. The song's narrative explores themes of stagnation and change, unfolding through mellow verses, a psychedelic transition, and fuzzed-out, melodic riffs that capture the emotional turbulence within. 

Watch here or below:

“Wait was inspired by the feeling of getting stuck in monotony, like being in a time loop. It’s how many of us might have felt during COVID times with all the stuff shut down but it’s also inspired by personal experiences of being stuck in a job (or relationship, place etc.) one doesn’t like or feel is right. So, often the initial feeling is to kinda accept the situation and wait. But then the frustration grows…” - says the band.

Juke Cove's unique fusion of psych rock, doom, stoner, grunge, prog rock, and punk has made them a standout in the heavy underground scene since their 2019 debut. Their 2021 album “Remedy” was released in collaboration with Interstellar Smoke Records. Since then, Juke Cove have played multiple shows in Germany and Poland, opening for King Buffalo, Weedpecker, Rotor, Valley of the Sun, Mars Red Sky, and Dopelord among others. Their new album will be released later in 2024 on Interstellar Smoke Records.

Psych Stoner Rockers Thomas Greenwood & the Talismans Premiere New Song SUNHOUSE From Upcoming New Album ATES

Thomas Greenwood & the Talismans become, through the years, a psychedelic rock band heavily contaminated by 70s influences, the Western Movies scenario with a Neo-Psychedelic taste. Founder Thomas Mascheroni (also guitar/voice of stoner trio Humulus) gave birth to the first record back in 2021 called 'Rituals', entirely self-produced; Ramble Records from Melbourne and Echodelick Records from Atlanta printed the vinyls. After a long period of wild jams into an old barn on the mountains of lake Iseo, the new upcoming record "Ateş" is ready.

Subsound Records · Sunhouse

Sunhouse is a song about youth. Remembering a ghost house and the memories of being innocent kids playing in the streets. It's a non-stop motion that tries to bring you back to the essence of joy.
