Static-X are releasing a music video for the first original track from the upcoming album Project Regeneration: Vol. 2. The song "Stay Alive" is one of the last original compositions Wayne Static was working on before his passing in 2014.
The song's lyrics echo Wayne's state of mind during this tragic time, as he professes himself to be a "professional addict" and screams the words: "I just need you to survive - Cut you up to stay alive." (continue)
Portugal. The Man release the official music video for "Doubt." Shot in the band's home state of Alaska - where the band has filmed many videos throughout the course of their career - and filmed on the unceded ancestral lands of the Knik Tribe, the video stars frontman John Gourley playing an upright piano engulfed in flames.
The video was directed by acclaimed cinematographer and frequent collaborator Michael Ragen, who has directed many of the band's other visuals, including official videos for "Noise Pollution," "Evil Friends," "Sleep Forever," and more, and served as DP on "Feel It Still," among many other releases over the years.

Orlando trash-rock band Felicity and pop-punk public enemy #1 Greyson Zane have teamed up to release the song of the summer. "Emo Trash" - the song that took the internet by storm.
Produced by Andy Karpovck, "Emo Trash" is as sarcastically tongue-in-cheek as it is whole-heartedly genuine, the anthem for a generation of music listeners caught between the good old days and tomorrow's great unknown. Zane and FELICITY vocalist Damien Fagiolino trade lines (and references, from genre mainstays Taking Back Sunday to cult classics like Every Avenue), distilling your local emo night into a two-and-a-half-minute sugar bomb set against a backdrop of classic pop-punk spit-shined with modern flair and boisterous gang vocals.

The artist comments on his new single, "Some say that at the moment our bodies expire, we relive all of the moments of our lives in an instant, and that these events happen separately in time". ABDOW continues, 'Eternity' is a song about all of these moments being one and that time is an illusion. It's at the end of this ride that we experience and are reminded that our eternity is now."

We are pleased to premiere the new music video for Los Angeles based progressive rock duo Days Between Stations' single "Witness The End Of The World", featuring special guest lead vocalist Durga McBroom, who is best known for her work with Pink Floyd.
Sepand: "I remember hearing this song that Oscar had written. I'm always turned on to songs that become your companion through life, its notes and meaning altering with you through your path in life. When you feel the song is one thing it morphs into another. We filmed this video during the end of COVID... boy did it feel like the end of the world. I feel the apocalyptic imagery was inspired by how society and friends and family were all rattled by this disease." (continue)

The breathtaking landscapes surrounding vocalist Helen Marnie's home provided the ideal setting for the psych-tinged video, which transports viewers into a dreamlike world, detached from the constraints of time.

Toronto hard rock quartet Free Under Fire are gearing up to release their new self-titled album on November 25th. To celebrate, we asked guitarist and songwriter Justin Paul to tell us about the song "Airplane Over Texas" (and a little about the next single to come!). Here is the story:
When people ask, I try not to be too enigmatic about it. Briefly, the song is about the need everyone has to strive towards (and hopefully achieve) a sense of liberation during times of duress. This song is the culmination of many years of thinking, re-thinking and re-doing. This includes guitar parts, obviously, but also the song structure. In every iteration the song has had, however, it has centered around the power of an Ab chord. Gibson guitar through a Friedman (basically a boutique modded Marshall type amp) and attitude. That's the formula. Our drummer, Paul Risk, came up with the delightfully straightforward bass riff towards the end of the song, and it's this driving riff that culminates in the crescendo that populates the last minute of the song. Truthfully, I had a different idea of the outro when I first introduced the song (one of many, having redone this song a half a dozen times) and, as with every decision this band makes, we chose the idea that would yield the best result, regardless of who, from the four of us, it came from. There is a sadness, I suppose, in relinquishing an idea, because an idea is, by virtue of being a thing that approximates a sort of formless ambiguity, virtually perfect. It's a form that lends itself to the physical idea to come, and letting go of those ideas means doing something tangible, but by that same token, something inherently less than perfect. And even so - the auditory experience is more than the sum of its parts, and worth making. (continue)
