“Bursting with style, substance, and flair” – Loudwire

“Next level heavy” – Knotfest

“Neck-snapping” – The Noise

“A crushing breakdown, huge chorus, thundering verses …you know the drill” – Kerrang!

“Bludgeoning riffs, an earworm of a chorus and one of the hardest mosh calls you will hear all year, it’s quite something” – Rock Sound

After thrilling their legion of fans by surprise dropping the blistering and brand new track Devastation —see above for early press praise— gold-selling, Columbus, Ohio-based rock band Beartooth have announced details regarding their fourth studio album Below.

Fans can pre-order the album, which will arrive on June 25 via Red Bull Records, here.

“Below is by far my favourite album I’ve made to date,” says frontman Caleb Shomo. “It covers the dark side of dealing with mental strain during the last year. I gave it all I had — musically and lyrically. Is it too dark? Possibly, but it was as honest as I could be about how I felt. I hope everyone is ready to strap in for a wild ride of head banging and rocking.”

To celebrate the announcement, the band has shared the video for the new song The Past Is Dead. The video features the band in performance mode, which is its most natural state. The members are surrounded by stunning pyrotechnics and an otherworldly demon, who can be spotted in the album cover art pictured below.

“The Past Is Dead as one of the first songs written for the album,” Shomo explains. “Various versions have been in the bank for about two years now and it really set the tone for the whole album writing process. The video is meant to depict the beginning of the journey to the deepest and darkest parts of my mind, which was the fuel used to make Below.” Beartooth harness the sacred and profane, purging inner darkness with a dizzying light. The fearlessly determined and boundlessly creative Midwest powerhouse perfects a sound sought by a generation of bands. Their marriage of colossally catchy choruses and post-hardcore, soaked in sweaty metal, is without rival. Its effect is evident by their religiously dedicated global audience; tours with Slipknot, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects, and A Day To Remember; and a RIAA-certified plaque for their hit single In Between. Their latest release Below is a pure distillation of rage — weaponizing its deceptively radio-ready bombast to deliver stone cold truth missives, each packed like a bomb with noisy rock chaos. Below also revels in the darker underbelly of traditional metal, soaked in stoner rock tones and doomy dirge. Beartooth offer no cure. The recovery comes in the process; the journey is the destination. As long as the dueling dichotomy of anguish and cathartic creative expression remain bound together, Beartooth will be here to oversee the show.

Recorded in a run-down loft and staring down eviction in 2012, Dark Hearts Can Radiate White Light captures the intense and honest performances of a close-knit band of friends, beloved by audiences in Canada and the UK. 2013 release plans were halted by the shocking and untimely death of lead singer and guitar powerhouse Chris Levoir. This remarkable 3rd album from Toronto rock band The Mark Inside will now be available for the first time world-wide on all digital streaming platforms via Fortune Stellar Records / The Orchard.

Acebergtm returns to one of Africa‘s fastest-growing entertainment companies SJW Entertainment as its hottest new artist, who makes an impressive entrance into 2021 with his first single of the year “Danca,” which also announces the future EP. With a sultry voice reminiscent of artists like Drake and J.Cole, who also happen to be his biggest inspirations, Acebergtm fuses groovy melodies and gentle R&B-inspired beats to make “Danca” a single that is made for heating up the dancefloor or simply listening to over a strong drink. The track offers a peek into this talented startup artist’s style and global influences, which are displayed over the course of new songs on the upcoming “Far From Home” EP. Press play on “Danca” and let Acebergtm introduce himself.

“As a kid growing up in a city populated with creatives, ‘Far From Home‘ was inspired by the thought of me trying to be abstract. As a rapper trying to show more versatility and fitting into my own niche in the music industry. The EP represents a journey, untold stories, and the passion for being extraordinary” – Acebergtm

Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, Acebergtm grew up with exposure to a variety of different music genres and fell in love with hip-hop and rap, citing Wyclef Jean as one of his earliest inspirations. In tandem with music was his passion for writing and poetry, which led him to begin writing his own songs at age 15. He eventually entered the studio circuit, networking with different producers and fledgling artists such as Kel P, Phantom and Tempoe, WineXroll, JFred, Fredibeat, Oshobeats, Mcomms, Graydon. During those early years, he cut his teeth as both a rapper and a singer in the Nigerian music scene. Now ready to take on a global circuit, Acebergtm makes a strong debut with “Far From Home,” and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.

Following the release of two striking singles, Madrid’s experimental live electronic act Jus Kno’ celebrate the release of their debut studio album ‘Looped Circles’.  Exploring innovative electronic elements over the 9-cut body of work, the album represents the culmination of years of practice honing their craft. Comprised of sounds hailing across IDM, house and techno, the album transcends genres while boasting a signature sound that is quintessentially Jus Kno’.  The album is available on all streaming platforms on March 26th 2021 via independent Spanish label Faneca Music and marks a major milestone in the Madrid based act’s careers.

With ‘Looped Circles’ ultimate unveiling being preceded by two striking singles, the title track and “Time Will Come”, the coupling set the stage for the album’s remaining 7 unreleased tracks. Opening with a sultry, brooding five minute “Intro” peppered with breakbeat percussion, piano and bass the track paves way for “Winden” – a strong, synth-lead, high energy cut shifting basslines from 4/4 to Drum N’ Bass. “Winden” in particular is a track brimming in variety that showcases Jus Kno’s diverse skillset.

“Hole” comes in two parts, opening with eclectic arpeggio, romantic, driving and deep in nature built upon a solid house infrastructure. “Hole II” creates contrast from its compliment, featuring a lengthy build of melody and pizzicato of over three minutes, the impending relentless techno drop drives the two part “Hole” and “Hole II” series to its’ closure. “New Normal” incorporates organic instrumentals through its introduction paving way for strong synth lead – creating continuity through its duration with melodic guitar throughout, following the theme of shifting percussive styles the track features live drumming across its six and a half minute running time.

Slowing the pace just past the half way point, “A Place For Us” encapsulates an aura of melancholy and yearning; home to sultry chord progressions and slower tempos.  The final piece unreleased material, “Contact” is slow, steady and ethereal and followed by the two previously released singles “Time Will Come” and “Looped Circles” that bring Jus Kno’s first full body of work to its ultimate close.

Complimented by substantial audio-visual content, music videos, abstract visualizers and live performance footage breathe life into the album, conveying the duo’s innovative production and performance style as well as the full bodied vision for their identity.  Expect more video content to make its’ way through the pipeline in the weeks following ‘Looped Circles’ release.

First conceived in 2015, Asturian artists Alex Aller and Pablo Villanueva conjoined their aptitudes for production and visual art to create innovative and thoughtful electronic music; coining the name for their audio-visual brainchild Just Kno’. With 2020 providing ample time for reflection and insight, Jus Kno’ seized the opportunity to fine-tune their creative frequencies and produce their debut studio album. Composed in quarantine, ‘Looped Circles’ represents the culmination of years of collective experience, inspiration, and dedication to their craft.

Independedntly, both Alex Miller and Pablo Villanueva’s works over the years have garnered the attention of international music media. Featured by the likes of BBC 1xtra, DJ Mag Spain and more, their first 3 EP’s and 9 music videos set the foundation on which their album ‘Looped Circles’ is built upon.  Further enabling their creative freedoms, Faneca Music signed the act in 2019 and released their 5-track EP ‘Asymmetry‘.  Peppered with organic sounds and dark synthesizer lines, ‘Asymmetry‘ of new, experimental sounds in the upcoming album. potpourriboasts elements that are undeniably aligned with the act’s identity and will surely be used alongside a

Following the massive success of their debut single Treading Water, a finalist in the  2019 International Song Competition, Eli Dan look set to build on their incredible  achievements with the release of Just Another Love Song. The new release blends  acoustic elements with an electronic aesthetic to generate a luminous contemporary  pop track with a universal heartbeat. This poignant and powerful song posits the age 

old question: ‘Is it better to have loved or not have loved at all?’ Featuring the pop  sensibilities of Elisha Apurado’s (Eli) extraordinary musical prowess and the folk based roots style of consummate musician Danny Hacket (Dan), Eli Dan becomes a  unifying artistic force, exploring a genre that’s a cross-pollination of Sara Bareilles,  John Mayer, LAUV and Vera Blue. From the opening synth pulses to the soaring  cadences of the encapsulating last chorus, Just Another Love Song skilfully fuses  rousing dynamics, melodic finesse, and Eli’s emotional charged vocal performance to  breathe new life into a subject matter that affects us all. No, Just Another Love Song  is not just another love song but a passionate reaffirmation of a new kind of ode to  modern love.

FORTHCOMING ALBUM LET THE BAD TIMES ROLL OUT APRIL 16
PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE

Today, SoCal icons and one of the best-selling punk rock bands of all time, The Offspring, have unveiled the accompanying music video for their recently released single Let The Bad Times Roll, the title track from their highly anticipated tenth studio album coming April 16, 2021 via Concord Records. The multi-format smash was added ATB to Triple M nationally in Australia and has vaulted to the top of US Rock and Alternative radio charting at #11 and #25, respectively, just four short weeks after its release and continues to climb with no signs of slowing down. Let The Bad Times Roll was the #1 most-added at Rock radio for two weeks in a row upon release and has racked up nearly 4 million global streams to date. Fans and critics alike applauded the band’s new music with Rolling Stone hailing it a “return to their signature mix of guileless pop-punk and forked-tongue irony,” Loudwire describing it as “a hand-clapper that shifts from raucous acoustic-driven passages to the band’s familiar punk sensibilities all while pointing the finger at the ills of the world today,” and Alternative Press proclaiming, “the countdown for The Offspring’s next album has officially begun.”

True to the irreverence at the core of punk rock music, the music video delivers a contemporary narrative tied to the song’s topical lyrics that reflect the ongoing challenges being faced across the country today.

Legends and innovators of the Southern California punk rock scene, The Offspring have sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, won countless awards, and have toured consistently, playing more than 500 shows in the last decade alone.  Their music has had a lasting impact across film, television, and video games, but the band turned their focus to a new album release in 2021. The band is comprised of singer Dexter Holland, guitarist Noodles, drummer Pete Parada and new bassist Todd Morse.
