Liar Thief Bandit release the fifth single from their upcoming mini-album “Diamonds”. “Peace with Disaster” is an intense classic rock track featuring electrifying twin guitar melodies and uplifting vocals. Besides the new single, the Swedish power trio also confirms new live dates.
Liar Thief Bandit on the new single:
Peace with Disaster is a song about hitting rock bottom, realizing it and taking the first steps toward a new era. It was written in a changing time emotionally, in between a definite ending and a new beginning in life. If there’s any message to be delivered with this song, it would be that it’s sometimes important to admit defeat to be able to gather strength to carry on with an optimistic state of mind. Hope is the last thing that leaves us!

September 30, 2022 will see alternative/garage rock and soul-grunge outfit BLITZPØP debut their first EP, entitled MDMA. The up-and-coming band, featuring MOTHER’S CAKE frontman Yves, GIANT ANTEATER vocalist Pia, bassist Alex of THE VINTAGE CARAVAN and Kajetan on drums, unleashes a new wave of a straightforward sound and a “Fuck off the deep shit“ attitude, combining alternative, grunge and garage rock elements with a fuzzy dose of the soul and electronica funk. Their rough yet melodic and heavily groovin‘ debut should please fans of 90’s rock and grunge era in the likes of Hole and Nirvana, Dead Weather, The Distillers or The Kills, but stands out due to its very own touch and strong individuality.
But give ear, as following the previously-released, first single and EP title track, “MDMA”, today BLITZPØP has shared a music video for new song “Spirit Of Times”! Says extraordinary vocalist Pia: “Spirit of Times reminds us of an unforgettable time we spent in Portugal where we also shot the video. Beautiful days we’ll never forget.
For us this song is all about freedom, good vibes, good times where you can forget all your bad feelings and problems. We’re glad to bring you a new track and hope you’ll like this song as much as we do.”
BLITZPØP’s upcoming debut was recorded by Raphaël Neikes, Manuel Renner and Tom Kornis at Chaos AD Studios and at Moonwalker Productions. The EP was mixed by Raphaël Neikes at Moonwalker Productions and mastered by Tom Kornis at Chaos AD Studio.
As guitarist Yves recently commented: “Blitzpøp is all about crazy songwriting with mainly naughty and painfully recognizable lyrics.Most Important for us was to not think too much about what we create, it should simply kick ass!
We wrote the songs in our small dirty flat which was the perfect environment for that kind of music.We started to produce the song ideas ’till we had about 10 tracks. What was missing was the band. Pia and I started to call some friends like the awesome drummer Kai and the hammering bass player Alex (The Vintage Caravan)…a few minutes later bllitzpøp was born!
We hope all you Pøppers will have as much fun while listening as we had while creating it!”
MDMA will be issued by the band directly on September 30, 2022, and you can you pre-save the EP at THIS LOCATION.
AMERICAN TERROR, the heavy punk/metal band based out of Atlanta, has revealed a new single, “Self-Control”, out now. The track, an aggressive and thrashy exhibit of frustrations against selfish government leaders, is available on Spotify here and all major digital platforms, with its accompanying lyric video out now on YouTube. This follows their previous single, “End Of America”, and precedes their sophomore album, Where We Are, which will be released on July 8th, 2022.
AMERICAN TERROR’s critically-acclaimed debut record, Influencer, arrived in May 2020 and led to the band quickly tallying up 350,000+ streams. The album, which was released by Megadeth bassist David Ellefson’s EMP Label Group, arrived on the heels of the success of the singles “Judgement” and “She’s A Bitch”. These two tracks quickly built momentum for the band, thanks to features on Spotify’s editorial and algorithmic playlists, in addition to spots on hundreds of user playlists. Prominent rock media outlets took notice and covered the band’s progress, including iHeartRadio, Revolver Magazine, KNAC, Blabbermouth, BraveWords, and Ultimate-Guitar. The band recently made Influencer available in translucent red vinyl LP, CD, and HD download formats, which are available to purchase at their official web store at https://americanterrorband.com/shop.
Influencer was followed up by a hard-hitting, genre-bending remix of “Judgement” featuring legendary rapper Sticky Fingaz (known for his group Onyx’s hit “Slam” & his feature on Eminem‘s The Marshall Mathers LP; also, a 2020 ASCAP songwriter award-winner for his work with Travis Scott). The one-off single “Legend”, a cover of a lost track from classic hip-hop group House of Pain, followed in February 2021. The band then teamed up with world-renowned rapper Krizz Kaliko (a frequent fixture of Tech N9ne’s records and his Strange Music label over the past two decades) to release a remix of their single “She’s A Bitch”. This release was followed by the aggressive, snotty, and uptempo “Attitude”, the first single from their upcoming sophomore album.
AMERICAN TERROR’s releases are engineered, produced, and mixed by vocalist Brad Cox at his Black Paw Studios in Lawrenceville, GA. Brad recently co-wrote, produced, and mixed the Billboard chart hit “Like ‘Em Wild” for rap/country duo Moonshine Bandits and is partners in the publishing company Black Paw Music with legendary producer Mike Clink (Guns N’ Roses, Megadeth, Metallica). The band began as a studio project featuring members of Skid Row (drummer Rob Hammersmith), Sugar Ray (ex-bassist Murphy Karges), Phunk Junkeez (DJ Soulman), and Grayson Manor (singer Brad Cox and guitarist Pat Valley). However, upon receiving highly-enthusiastic feedback from new fans and press outlets, they decided to continue their path forward with touring and multiple releases in mind, leaving Brad, Pat, Rob and fellow Grayson Manor alumnus GK Via to take over those duties.
Swedish rockers THE RIVEN return with a brand new single. “Fly Free” is a retro-influenced heavy metal track with memorable choruses and powerful vocals, performed with tons of live-rock energy. The single is the third one from The Riven’s sophomore studio album “Peace and Conflict”, set for release on The Sign Records later in 2022.
The band comments:
Fly Free is an homage to a summer on the road! Prepare for 4 minutes of rock that will make your car radio purr!With twin guitars and a bass line that knows no bounds. You will be singing along to this one all summer long!

LIPS TURN BLUE, the acclaimed Upstate NY band whose debut self-titled album on the MIG MUSIC label has been getting rave reviews since its May 4th release, has release to a powerful live music video designed to pay tribute to Sir Paul McCartney’s for his 80th birthday.
The band’s compelling cover of “Maybe I’m Amazed,” featuring bassist Mike Mullane on lead vocals, has been a staple of the band’s set list. This is also the first recording the band has released to the public featuring LTB’s new vocalist/ instrumentalist Iggy Marino, who covers harmonies on “Maybe I’m Amazed.” Also featured is guitarist/ vocalist Don Mancuso; keyboardist Eric Bieber; and drummer Roy Stein, who joined the group during the making of the album. A live video of the Beatles classic, “Hay Bulldog” (which appears on the band’s debut album) is also set for release later in the year.
“We wanted to do something special for Sir Paul’s 80th,” said Eric Bieber.
“The music he made in The Beatles and his extensive solo catalog have inspired millions of musicians, songwriters and performers. This is our way of saying thank you for all the incredible music you have given the world.”
The band has garnered extensive positive press and 5 star reviews from outlets such as ABC NEWS, SINCLAIR BROADCASTING, CLASSIC ROCK, IHEART, YAHOO NEWS! and countless others.
The debut album and the initial videos released by the band were the last projects original singer Phil Naro was able to complete before passing away in May 2021 from cancer. His dying wish to the band was to make sure the album was released and the band carried on his musical legacy.
The group is currently booking tour dates to coincide with the album’s release. Based in Hannover, Germany and distributed worldwide, MIG Music has released albums by an extraordinary roster of acts that includes: Joe Jackson, Sheila E, Jack Bruce of Cream, Roger McGuinn, Ron Wood, Muddy Waters, Pee Wee Ellis, Maceo Parker, Weather Report, Nash Albert, Pat Travers Band, Vanilla Fudge, Richard Thompson, George Thorogood, Public Image Ltd, and many others.
