Fifteen Stitches, the Washington South Sound quartet channeling the Pacific Northwest’s grunge legacy into a modern hard rock beast, has dropped the official music video for “Light Psycho.” This relentless hard rock anthem is straight out of a slasher flick! With razor-sharp riffs and lyrics that dive deep into the mind of a deranged predator, this track drips with intensity, obsession, and pure horror.
Fusing the band’s live energy and channeling classic horror films, the Light Psycho video captures Fifteen Stitches’ passion for performance with a touch of humor, adding a twisted edge to the madness.
Fueled by raw energy and unhinged aggression, “Light Psycho” delivers a sinister dose of fear, control, and chaos. Is this track a literal ode to serial killer chaos? Or a metaphor for the monsters we bury within? Press play… if you dare to find out.
“Light Psycho” is taken from Fifteen Stitches’ EP Beyond The Wall, out via Wormholedeath. The record dives deep into humanity’s struggles, inner demons, and the search for a better future, delivering a crushing fusion of hard rock, prog, glam, and grunge.
Hailing from the South Sound of Washington, Fifteen Stitches is a sonic powerhouse featuring Tim Perdue (vocals), Chris Pasinetti (guitar), Rob Field (bass), and James Ortega (drums). With roots in bands like Cries of Tammuz, Painted Window, and The Ventures, the band channels the raw spirit of the Pacific Northwest’s legendary music scene.
Hungarian heavy metal fusionists TERRA NULLIUS proudly unveil the music video for “Tiéd a szabadság”, a track from their latest album, Magam Bajnoka, out now via Wormholedeath.
At its core, “Tiéd a szabadság” explores the profound bond between parent and child. It’s a journey through guidance, values, and the ultimate realization that true freedom lies in making one’s own choices. This deeply emotional and musically striking piece blends Terra Nullius’ signature fusion of heavy metal and classical influences, making for an unforgettable listening experience.
Founded through drummer László Sztancsik’s vision of merging metal and classical music, Terra Nullius took shape when cellist János Madaras joined the project in November 2020. Their first single, “Mindig Tarts,” released on August 18, 2021, marked their official debut. With unwavering determination, the band pushed forward through lineup changes, crafting their debut album, Magam Bajnoka, which dropped on December 8, 2023, under H-Music. Now, with a unique blend of orchestral grandeur and crushing metal riffs, Terra Nullius is setting a new standard in the heavy music landscape.
Southern California rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have officially announced the release of their ninth studio album, Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, due out August 22nd via Journeyman Records. Produced by the legendary Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Rival Sons), the new album finds the band firing on all cylinders—raw, reflective, and tighter than ever.
“It was an incredible honour to collaborate with Dave Cobb on our new record,” shares frontman Robert Jon Burrison. “Not only has he worked with artists we deeply admire, but he’s also been a producer we’ve respected for over a decade. Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes feels like a true reflection of who Robert Jon & The Wreck is as a band. From the moment we arrived in Savannah, GA, to record, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and ease—something rare in a typical studio environment. Being away from our usual routines, living together, and immersing ourselves in the new songs from start to finish created an album we are incredibly proud of. We can’t wait to share it with the world and bring it to life on stage.”
Alongside the announcement, the band has shared their latest single, ‘Highway‘, a soaring, mid-tempo rocker that showcases everything fans have come to love about The Wreck: blistering twin guitar harmonies, emotionally charged vocals, and a driving rhythm section. Produced by Cobb and recorded in Savannah, “Highway” blends the band’s classic heartland sound with fresh, cinematic urgency.
“‘Highway’ is a favourite of ours on Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes—a song that started as a loose melodic concept on an acoustic guitar in Henry’s apartment, and evolved into a full-blown powerhouse,” adds Robert. “When we brought it into rehearsals in Costa Mesa, it just clicked with the band. Dave Cobb helped us elevate the track by pushing the tempo and building out the dynamics. Lyrically, it’s a heartfelt love song—wide open, full throttle, and impossible to get out of your head.”
“It never strayed far from the original vision Robert and I had,” notes guitarist Henry James. “Cobb brought a new level of spontaneity and emotional edge to the sessions. This track hits hard and still gives you the feels—it’s everything we love about rock ’n’ roll.”
According to bassist Warren Murrel, the Savannah sessions represented a major turning point for the band: “For the first time in our band’s history, we had the opportunity to live at the studio while recording. Instead of dealing with LA traffic and squeezing in sessions between other commitments, we got to immerse ourselves fully in the music—writing, recording, and refining songs every day for over a week. It was an experience that allowed us to be completely present in the creative process. Dave Cobb has a way of getting under the hood of a song, pushing it further than we ever thought possible. His guidance challenged us in the best ways and helped bring this album to life in a way we’re truly proud of.”
Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes captures the band at a creative peak, drawing from real-life experiences of love, loss, and redemption. Across ten riveting tracks, Robert Jon & The Wreck explores the full emotional spectrum, delivered with thunderous riffs, razor-sharp grooves, and some of their most compelling lyrics to date. The album was mixed by Greg Gordon, known for his work with Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Rival Sons. It will be available on CD, limited edition coloured vinyl, and in special merch bundles, including an exclusive shirt and bandana package.
“This album is a candid musical reflection of who we are today,” adds Henry. “Tales of love gone awry, love gone right, camaraderie, estrangement, lessons learned, dark shadows, and bright lights—all wrapped into one.”
“Highway” follows the release of several acclaimed tracks from the upcoming album, including the fiery, John Oates co-written “Long Gone,” the introspective ballad “Ashes in the Snow,” and the high-octane “Sittin’ Pretty.” Each single has spotlighted a different facet of the band’s evolving sound, building anticipation for what promises to be their most ambitious album yet.
The band is currently on the road for a packed 2025 tour that includes headline dates across Europe and North America, plus appearances at New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Askena Rock Festival, Hookrock, and Chinook Fest. With stops in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and major U.S. cities from New York to Fargo, fans worldwide will get to experience the new songs live for the first time.

TOMMY HARRISON GROUP releases a new single ‘True Redemption’, taken from their upcoming EP ‘Fight To Survive’, out 30th May, via From the Ashes Records. Stream the single below.
Tommy Harrison Group is an Orlando, FL based hard rock band. Originally starting as an instrumental trio with diverse influences in classic hard rock, metal and jazz, Harrison’s first, self-titled album was released in 2017. Since, Harrison has moved towards his hard rock roots and enlisted the vocal talents of Mark Kaleiwahea for a new 2025 EP release, ‘Fight to Survive‘ (From the Ashes Records). Kaleiwahea is most recognized as the long-time vocalist and guitarist for Honolulu based Sacred Rite, a powerful force in the underground metal scene in the 1980s and 1990s, a group still active to this day.
Like Kaleiwahea, Harrison is native to Hawai’i and are both now residents of Florida. Harrison is best known for his time in the Denver band, Dogs of Pleasure, and time in the Hollywood club scene in the early 1990s with Aristocratic Trash, voted a top band by Music Connection magazine in 1992. Harrison is also known as an academic – this rocking professor is on the faculty at the University of Central Florida.
Joined by drummer Joshua Priest, Tommy Harrison Group’s powerful riffs coupled with melodic sensibilities makes the EP ‘Fight to Survive’ accessible by a wide audience, while bringing appeal to a classic hard rock and metal fan base. Tommy Harrison Group will be releasing a series of singles in spring/summer 2025, leading in to the release of the full EP on 30th May. Ideal for playlists suited towards their classic metal influences of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Fight to Survive will also be a good fit for playlists that include hard rock groups ranging from Breaking Benjamin to Three Days Grace.
The Intemperate Sons are excited to unveil an explosive live version of their song “Falling Under,” captured during their powerful performance at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, CA on November 13th, 2024. This raw, high-energy version showcases the band’s undeniable stage presence and brings the electric vibe of that unforgettable night straight to fans. Available now, it’s a perfect taste of the Sons’ live intensity for alt-rock lovers everywhere.
The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicide in Long Beach, CA. All mastering is done by Mike Marsh Mastering in the U.K.
The band’s latest album Dark Day’s Night is available HERE
The Intemperate Sons emerged onto the rock scene in the summer of 2019 in Dallas, TX, to bring their distinct sound to the genre. A deep love for music brought family members Keith Watson (drums), Jake Watson (guitars) and Max Watson (vocals, guitars, keys) together along with close friend Mark Marks, who provides the groove on bass to unite everything together. The band’s sound has been described as a 90’s alternative style that is obsessed with the 70’s.
Keith is well acquainted with entertaining massive crowds of concert goers and has played with many successful bands in Dallas, such as Gun Hill, Natural Born Thrillers and Agents of Solace, on top of opening for Lynch Mob, Joe Lynn Turner and Sponge. He is the primary lyricist for the band and has written the music for some of their most successful songs, including “Dust to Dust,” “The Color Within,” and “Unrealized.”
Multi-talented and gifted with the ability to play various instruments, Max is also the lead vocalist of the group. Along with being musically dexterous, he has also collaborated with Keith to write lyrics on the released songs “Going Crazy” and “Way Back When.” In the studio, Max usually surmounts expectations and goes above and beyond to prepare prior to a session with his own vocal harmonies.
Jake is the song architect of the Sons and extremely instrumental in the crafting of the music. His inventive ways of bringing lyrics to life in clever ways are unprecedented and fascinating to see in the studio setting. He is a prolific writer of music as well and is credited with helping create the songs “What’s Done is Done,” “Remission,” “Way Back When” and “Wading in the Gray.” Both Max and he play lead guitar on many of the songs as well. The other members of the band fondly refer to him as the “art director” since he enjoys taking charge in those areas for the group.
Prolific and unifying, Mark is an accomplished bass player and well known in Dallas. He was in the regionally successful band, Haggard, and had opened for Sebastian Bach of Skid Row. His input in song writing has been invaluable to the process of creating captivating melodies.
Despite the pandemic putting a pause on many major events, The Intemperate Sons lived up to their name and let nothing hold them back from making music. Constantly hard at work in the studio, they have collaborated with Amir Derakh (Julien-K, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy, Rough Cutt) and Ryan Shuck (Julien-K, Adema, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy). Both have lent their musical talents to various songs and ultimately have brought the Sons on to their label, Frame|Work. This led the band to also recently join the management roster at The Label Group. Ryan worked with Amir to produce the band’s upcoming track, “Game of Keep Away,” and has had a huge impact on the group. He’s been especially influential on Max’s vocal melodies and delivery. Amir also plays guitar on this latest ballad and has been mixing all of the band’s music as well as performing on multiple songs.
Another notable collaboration has been with Tony Franklin (The Firm, Roy Harper, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Whitesnake), primarily on the first album, The Color Within. He has been a valuable friend of the band and has played bass on some of their best tracks from that album, including “Running Man,” “Dust to Dust” and “The Color Within.”
The Intemperate Sons’ take on alternative rock is a dark and powerful concoction of hard rock mixed with folk and grunge concepts. The band has earned a serious reputation for writing and performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style, which has a retro vibe with many guitar-driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate at a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and even R.E.M.
The Intemperate Sons Show Dates: Sat April 26 @ 3 Nations Brewing Company in Carrollton, TX Sat May 10 @ Reno’s Chop Shop Saloon in Dallas, TX Fri July 11 @ Deep Ellum Art Company in Dallas, TX Thu July 31 @ Hurricane Alley Live in Bossier City, LA
The Intemperate Sons are: Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass) Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals) Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals) Mark Marks (bass)
The Savatage and TSO guitarist CHRIS CAFFERY presents a very personal selection of 21 songs from his successful career, which has now spanned two decades. “20 Years Of The Music Man” is set to be released on 13 June on Metalville Records.

Chris says about his selection: “In 2004 I released my first solo record. Iwasn’t sure what to expect I just knew I wanted to make some music on myown. It was a time when I had a lot of questions not only about myself butwhere certain parts of my life were heading. The “Music Man” in me decidedto use my energy positively. I spent 20 years writing and recording andexpressing myself to you. This new release contains some of your favoritesongs as well as mine. There are also some unreleased songs and a brand newone as well.
I’d like to thank all of the amazing musicians, engineers andproducers who participated on these recordings with me.
I dedicate this toall of you my friends, also to my mentor in heaven who believed in me fromthe earliest days of my career Mr. Paul O’Neill and a special dedication tomy mom who remained my best friend and supporter through all of my roller coaster rides these past couple decades.
