For the past few months, veteran rocker and Foo Fighters six-stringer Chris Shiflett has been sharing new tastes of his signature honky-tonk-meets-rock-and-roll sound. "Dead And Gone" found the Southern Californian trading licks with Nashville pickers like Tom Bukovac and Charlie Worsham and "Black Top White Lines" put a rocking spin on the classic "murder ballad" format. All of that bridge-building between Music City and his native California will come to fruition on October 20th with the release of Lost at Sea-Shiflett's new Jaren Johnston-produced album on Blue Élan Records.
Lost at Sea finds Shiflett blurring the lines between his last two albums: West Coast Town's (2017) honky-tonk homage and Hard Lessons' (2019) overdriven crunch. Shiflett recorded the majority of the new album in Nashville, working with his aforementioned producer and collaborator Jaren Johnston-frontman of the Cadillac Three, as well as the songwriter behind nearly a dozen Number 1 country hits-and a small cast of Americana all-stars. Among them were fellow guitar slingers Worsham, Bukovac, and Nathan Keeterle, all three of whom laced the record with fiery fretwork. He also teamed up with a number of co-writers, partnering with Kendell Marvel, Cody Jinks, and others to fill Lost at Sea with storylines that pack as hefty a punch as the music itself. (continue)
Original Guns N' Roses drummer Steven Adler will be going Vegas with a show at the iconic Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas on August 4th. His camp sent over the following details: Glittering like a diamond, the bright lights of Las Vegas shine like an oasis of excitement and thrills in the heart of the Nevada desert.
"There's nowhere on earth like Las Vegas," says Steven Adler, the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame drummer who first achieved fame as the man behind the skins for Guns N' Roses. "It's a city that knows how to do nightlife. Las Vegas knows how to do rock n' roll." (continue)
The Adolescents, who helped establish the blueprint for Orange County punk rock according to All Music Guide, announced today they are celebrating the 43rd anniversary as a band with the release of their new album Caesar Salad Days on vinyl/digital formats this Friday, July 14 2023 via the legendary independent label, Frontier Records.

Five years since the release of Sonder, TesseracT have returned with their new album War Of Being, out September 15 via Kscope. The Dream has crash landed and 'ex' and 'el' awaken to find themselves in "The Strangeland," facing a foe known simply as "Fear," the two are separated and so begins the journey of War Of Being...
The album opens with the reverie shattering "Natural Disaster," followed by the pendulum swing of "Legion." That slingshots us into the herculean title track - the album's 11-minute centerpiece that undulates with precision and power. When coupled with the beguiling melodies of "The Grey," or the unshielded honesty of "Burden," the band delivers its most impassioned release to date - an album to excite and inspire. Acle Kahney, Daniel Tompkins, Amos Williams, Jay Postones, and James Monteith truly have crafted a phenomenal set of immersive, absorbing sounds.
TesseracT bassist Amos Williams states, "War Of Being has been all-encompassing for us since late 2019. After I returned home from filming
P O R T A L S, I found myself in such a deeply introspective headspace. The scale of work and reward from that project kind of set this up to be inevitable. We simply had to try and see how far we could take a concept album with TesseracT. (continue)

By now, you've already heard the rumors about a new tribute album to the godless ghouls of Goo Goo Muck, punkabilly fiends The Cramps. Well, my friends, the rumors are true! Alt country icon Shooter Jennings recently shared his twisted version of "Human Fly" while TX neo-psych singer/songwriter Danny Lee Blackwell, a/k/a Night Beats, blasted out a slick rendition of "I Was A Teenage Werewolf" just last month. Now, it's The 69 Eyes' turn with an ultra cool apocalyptic boogie woogie take on "Aloha From Hell."
Originally released on the landmark 1986 album A Date With Elvis, The Cramps' third full-length and its commercial breakthrough, "Aloha From Hell" offered a perfect distillation of the band's sound - rollicking drums, a throbbing bass line and uber creepy tremolo guitar. (continue)
Brooklyn-based alt-rocker Moon Walker announces his experimental, timely third LP Apocalypticism due out October 20. Alongside the announcement comes an all new set of tour dates across the U.S. this fall with support from Nordista Freeze. Moon Walker's continued debut tour will kick off with an official album release show in New York City on October 19 with tickets on sale on July 14.
Apocalypticism, the piercing forthcoming third album by Moon Walker, is both his most conceptual and most personal yet. Over eight eclectic tracks, Moon Walker imagines an apocalypse and confronts society's troubling inclination towards a hive mind. Much like his earlier work, Moon Walker is unafraid to confront harsh truths and pull back the curtain on the deeply flawed layers of American society. Moon Walker explains, "These are two themes that are usually at the core of most dystopian sci-fi stories, but I think that with the sudden rise of AI and the pandemic, people are starting to get the feeling that they're closer to reality."

We are pleased to premiere the new song "Pottery God", the latest single from Gabby & The Gondolas, which is the brainchild of Kyle Neveau, an indie rock songwriter from San Clemente, California.
According to the group, "Pottery God" questions belief in a higher power, and the negative impact it has on humanity as a whole. The chord changes and out of the box time signature mesh really well with the somber lyrics, making for one of the strongest tracks on the album. Kyle Neveau described the message of the song as a disbelief in what people do in the name of god, as opposed to a disbelief in god as a whole.
