Fight The Fade have released their anthemic new rock single “Next Sunrise,” the latest single from their upcoming album ‘Isolationist’, slated for release in October 2024 from FiXT.
Picking up where “Gangrene” left off “Next Sunrise” delivers an explosive soundscape, driven by intense rhythms, thrashing guitars, and a daring vocal performance from lead singer, Zene Smith. Masterfully incorporating synthesizers into heavy guitar work and thought provoking lyrics Fight The Fade have released a defiant anthem without overshadowing the raw, primal energy of pure rock. Fierce in its delivery, defiant in spirit “Next Sunrise” is the next chapter into the compelling exploration of inner turmoil and external forces from the upcoming album, Isolationist. “It’s time.”

The band’s work ethic and innovative blend of genres led them to an album deal with independent electronic rock label FiXT in late 2020, with Fight the Fade releasing singles throughout 2021, leading to a full-length album APOPHYSITIS released in July 2022.

Who can arouse the world with a smile? Who can take a miserable day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Better still, who can sponsor an on-stage, punk rock, food fight, inviting fans to attend a show and pelt band members with fruits, vegetables, and yes… burgers? Better yet, did I also mention a prosthetic leg! And as the support for Iggy Pop, he is hysterically amused from the side of the stage! Well now, human evolution bred a twisted madness, leading to the undisputed batshit-craziest, punchy-punk rock band with a hint of sleaze, The Mary Tyler Whores… Howard Stern’s favourite band name, seriously.
A brutal, yet melodic gut-punch that attacks you in the middle of a venue-wreckin’ concert! It’s aggressive, it’s intimidating, it’s provocative, it’s hilarious as hell, and all begins around 2000 and sumthin in South FlOr-i-DuH with Frankie “Crime” Cassara, vocalist and lead scoundrel, Doobie Tyler Whore on guitar, and the late Joey Image (R.I.P.), original drummer for proto-hardcore pioneers, The Misfits. They were destined to influence the masses from the start, and fans quickly became infatuated with The Mary Tyler Whores’ megaton blast of twisted punk fury and famous on-stage antics like nothing you’ve seen or heard. From food fighting to ripping it up live, The Mary Tyler Whores gratefully joined some friends a’ la The Misfits (R.I.P. Joey), Iggy Pop, U.S. Bombs, GBH, The Casualties, Murphy’s Law, and The Bouncing Souls on stages to further breed their intense brand of madness.
Fast forwarding to 2023, and transplanted for over a decade to Southern California, the timing was perfect for Frankie “Crime” Cassara to meet up with his best of friends again and reawaken the savagery of The Mary Tyler Whores! Frankie buzzed Doobie first in Vegas, and they brought back four of the five members from the original band, founder- vocalist Frankie “Crime” Cassara, MTW’s co-founder- rhythm guitarist “Doobie” Tyler Whore, master beater George “Korky” Kokkoris, lead guitarist Rob Deuce, and new addition, Frankie’s longtime henchman on bass, Aaron “The Proj” Miller, and now these vagabonds are revitalized and ready to tour the world and disrupt a city near you as true punk agents of chaos.
Following the success of their debut single “Black Reflections,” which was featured in the movie “The Throwback,” and is currently climbing the charts, Stripping the Pistol has released their new single, “Hope.” The track is now available through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.
“’Hope’ is about finding a sliver of light in depression and self-doubt.” says Kevin Cherello.
“While Kevin wrote the lyrics on a personal level, they can also apply to humanity: Hope for the future.” adds Kyriakos “Charlie” Tsiolis.
The band premiered the official lyric video for “Hope” on Bravewords. Watch the video here.
The single showcases the band’s unique blend of powerful lyrics and captivating melodies, promising to resonate deeply with listeners and leave a lasting impact.
Stripping the Pistol continues to push the boundaries and “Hope” is a testament to their evolution and growth as artists.
This band is about straight-in-your-face rock n’ roll. Stripping the Pistol formed with the intention of breaking the rules. The Chicago band blends aggression with melody. The seamless interplay of the dueling vocalists is balanced by the precision, power, and energy of the music.
Brilliant reviews in the run-up, a video that’s really taking off, a limited collector’s box that’s almost sold out – there’s no question that the new album is one of the positive surprises of the first half of the year!
Bandleader Alex Kraft has pulled out all the stops for it. 12 strong songs as a mix between metal and Morricone, a guest appearance by SODOM’s Tom Angelripper as an old Dezperado(z), what more could a metal heart want?
For over 20 years, DEZPERADOZ have been thrilling audiences with their distinctive sound and stories about the heroes of the Wild West like Wyatt Earp or Biilly The Kid. This led them to various European and world tours (among others with Krokus, Thin Lizzy, Doro, U.D.O. and Volbeat) as well as to Wacken, the With Full Force and the Summer Breeze. The new album “Moonshiner” is the 6th in the band’s history.
