Rockers DOBERMANN have unleashed their new music video for track ‘Rock Steady’, watch it below.
The tune appears on the power trio’s latest full-lenght album titled ‘Shaken to the Core’, which was assembled by renowned producer Alessandro Del Vecchio, and released last year through Wild Mondays Music / Horus Music UK.
Dobermann are one of Europe’s leading touring rock acts, with over 850 shows performed in 15 countries and 5 albums down the belt, with no management, booking agent or label, since 2011.
SEETHING AKIRA take on a more introspective tone with their new hard-hitting metalcore single “Lost At Sea.” The second chapter within their upcoming third album Nozomi, “Lost At Sea” features thought-provoking lyrics, soaring guitar solo sections, steady rhythms, and fuses synths with a dominating vocal performance for a single that puts hope above all else, questioning the current fear-laden status quo. “Lost At Sea” remains a hard-hitting nu-metal track that personifies everything fans love about the band.
“‘Lost at Sea‘ evaluates the loneliness when all hope has gone, the fear that comes with the feeling that it may never return,” states Seething Akira. “Whilst without the understanding that it’s happening inside ourselves, oblivious to others knowing.“
Explosive. Bombastic. Defiant. Intense. Seething Akira continues to rock on with their gloriously turbulent nu-metal sound towards their next album. Hot off the editorial success of their last album Dysfunctional Wonderland and with a recent appearance at the Heavy Music Awards 2022, upcoming scheduled appearances at TECH-FEST on July 1st, the Hammerdown Festival on August 6, and a recently featured single on the hit Meta Quest VR game Smash Drums with “The Fallen” Seething Akira is not slowing down any time soon. But the question remains, will we be seeing more of the yellow banana shorts?!
“Lost At Sea” is out now from independent multi-genre music label FiXT.
Explosive. Bombastic. Defiant. Intense. Seething Akira have developed a gloriously turbulent sound that is uniquely their own. Founded by vocalists Charlie Bowes and Kit Conrad, Seething Akira are a 6-piece electronic nu-core band hailing from the seafront city of Portsmouth, UK that have been tearing venues apart across Europe with their powerful fusion of genres since 2012.
The band’s first full-length album, Sleepy Skeletor, dropped in 2018 and made it clear that Seething Akira would be a force to be reckoned with in the years to come. In late 2020, the band launched a series of new singles leading up to their second album, the highly anticipated Dysfunctional Wonderland. With the strength of the band’s music and their popularity with fans rocketing skyward, they connected with electronic rock label FiXT and forged a partnership for their future releases.
Seething Akira has been featured on the Rock Hard Spotify editorial list, while their single “Firepower” landed on Kerrang Radio and Scuzz. “I Am The Devil” and “The Islander” were both featured on BBC Introducing, and “The Islander” premiered on Soundsphere Magazine.
At home and on the road, Seething Akira have also put their stamp on staple festivals such as Bloodstock, Victorious, Camden Rocks, and many more while touring with bands like The Qemists and The Algorithm. The band dropped the latest album Dysfunctional Wonderland in late 2021 and are now releasing new singles in mid 2022 in the build up to their new album.
Live Dates: 1st July Techfest, Newark Showground, Newark 15th July Dropout Kings, The Joiner Arms, Southampton 31st July, Amplified Festival, Rebellion, Manchester 6th August, Hammerdown Festival, The Venue, Worthing
‘Hurricane’ is the 4th single from UK rock act SAN QUENTIN and is available now on all digital platforms via Golden Robot Records.
‘Hurricane’ is fast paced, with catchy riffs, huge drums and relatable lyrics. “During the writing process of this song we really tried to tie in the rhythm sections and drums and create a sound that would resemble a hurricane.” the band says.
Overall ‘Hurricane’ is about the turbulence and unstable nature of youth culture. When the storm ends, you’re not the same person, and that’s what the storms all about. ‘Hurricane’ is the follow up to the recently released singles ‘Crossed the Line’ and ‘Step Off’
SAN QUENTIN is a 5-piece band from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, consisting of members Liam Cass (rhythm guitarist and songwriter), Owen Eves (lead vocals), Dan Ridgwell (lead guitar), Nick Kepp (bass) and Luke Johns (drums).
Starting out in October 2019 as a 4-piece, in May 2020 DanRidgwell joined the band and SAN QUENTIN was formed. Recently signing to Golden Robot Records, their debut single for the label, ‘Step Off’, was released in November, 2021.
“We bring indie rock music and high energy shows. Each song that is written and performed tells a different story, ready to share with the world.” – SAN QUENTIN
SAN QUENTIN are set to become important in the reinvigoration of the British rock scene.
FUNERAL CHIC are today premiering the second single and title track from their forthcoming third album, Roman Candle, alongside an accompanying music video via Decibel. The visual sees FUNERAL CHIC in a performance video setting with a crucial – and raucously fun – twist, thanks to puppetry and a healthy dose of rock’n’roll.
Speaking on the single and music video, FUNERAL CHIC comments: “We had so much fun writing and recording this song, and we definitely wanted a music video to match that energy. We assembled the puppets and did all the puppeteering ourselves so we could live out our crackhead Jim Henson fantasy. Arts and crafts is the punkest shit you can do nowadays.”
Holding no desire to make the same album twice, FUNERAL CHIC have eschewed the punk-led powerviolence that informed their previous work and have embraced the great tradition of American rock and roll on Roman Candle – without compromising their distinctive component parts. The swagger of proto-punk forefathers The Stooges and The New York Dolls imbues the darkest, grittiest corners of their reinvigorated sound, and can also be found on their cover of Roky Erickson’s Two Headed Dog. The caustic energy of early thrash and black metal scenes is also present, flickering with unmistakable incandescence throughout.
Having previously led with their outspoken politics, this time the lyrics are refracted through a more personal – but no less fervoured – lens. With members of the band taking a path of sobriety in recent years, the knot of rage that was previously doused with alcohol has been channeled into the lyrics on Roman Candle instead. Ten tales of sweat and pungent aggression dripping into a powder keg of a global identity crisis weave throughout the album’s length.
Recorded at Legit Biz, in Greensboro, NC with engineer, Kris Hilbert, FUNERAL CHIC guitarist, Robert Stroud, oversaw production, before the album was mixed by Matt Russell and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Throughout the process of creating Roman Candle, FUNERAL CHIC has – without ceremony – sloughed away old skin to reveal something new beneath. The volatile and unpredictable experience of living in modern day America is distilled via the mercurial sound of aggressive punk, sleazy Americana, and raw heavy metal. Roman Candle marks the beginning of the next blistering chapter for FUNERAL CHIC.
Roman Candle tracklist: 1. Made in America 2. Spit & Crawl 3. Roman Candle 4. Satisfaction 5. Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere 6. Lose 7. Built to Love 8. Born to Kill 9. Last Line Blues 10. Two Headed Dog

Our EP Tides is something that we’ve been cooking up for a while now, as we have worked to realize our sound and truly make a set of songs we are proud to show everyone.
