Dorian Sorriaux has launched his studio recorded album “Children of the Moon” on The Sign Records. Best known for being the lead guitarist of Blues Pills for 6 years, Dorian has toured extensively all around Europe and Australia with Blue Pills playing some of the biggest European Festivals like Rock Am Ring, Hellfest, Download, Rock Werchter, Wacken, Roskilde, Sweden Rock, and opening for bands such as Deep Purple, John Fogerty, Rival Sons, and Europe. He was featured on the list of the “25 players who are changing guitar” in the Australian Guitar magazine in 2013, and also appeared on the list of Total Guitar’s “best new guitarist” in 2014. He released several EP’s, two studio albums and two live albums before leaving the band in 2018.

Now focusing on his solo project, Dorian creates beautiful singer-songwriter and psychedelic folk music inspired by the artists of the 60s and 70s, such as Neil Young, Nick Drake, and Van Morrison. As a solo artist, Dorian has opened up for Myles Kennedy, Rival Sons, Colter Wall, Mikael Ramel, The Picturebooks. Besides this, he did a German and Austrian tour together with the Swedish band Black River Delta.

His new album “Children of the Moon” was recorded at ZF Prod studio in Brittany, France throughout 2021, mixed by Don Alsterberg (José Gonzalez, Junip, Graveyard, Blues Pills), and mastered by Hans Olsson (Bombus, Spiders, The Soundtrack of Our Lives) in Sweden.

Many young players look to the guitar heroes of the 60s and 70s for inspiration, but very few are able to channel their influences as mesmerizingly as Dorian Sorriaux. When the young French guitarist burst onto the scene with rockers Blues Pills, he displayed an incredible maturity and expressiveness as a musician that was captured on their 2014 self-titled debut. Comparisons with legendary bluesmen Peter Green and Paul Kossoff weren’t hyperbole; you could hear their quality in Dorian’s playing touch. Following the success of Blues Pills’ second album Lady In Gold (2016), Dorian Sorriaux revealed surprising new depths to his talent as a singer / songwriter with his debut solo EP Hungry Ghost. The EP received wonderful reviews and allowed Dorian to tour all over Europe as a solo act opening for Myles Kennedy. He now reveals a much more personal style of music and songwriting with his new record Children of the Moon.

THE MARY TYLER WHORES to Release New Single ‘White Trash Girl’ on June 21st

Golden Robot Records is thrilled to announce the signing of punk rock revolutionists, The Mary Tyler Whores, along with the release of their highly anticipated debut single, ‘White Trash Girl‘, set to drop digitally on June 21st. The single is the first track from their forthcoming debut album ‘As Filthy As We Wanna Be’, produced by the legendary Greg Hetson of Circle Jerks and Bad Religion fame.

‘White Trash Girl‘ encapsulates the raw energy and unapologetic spirit that defines The Mary Tyler Whores. Written by lead vocalist Frankie “Crime” Cassara, the song narrates the story of a young, resilient addict-dealer-prostitute known in the neighbourhood as ‘White Trash Girl‘. With a blend of sarcastic humour and gritty realism, the track is a high-octane, beer-swilling, punk rock anthem that promises to resonate with its listeners. Cassara reflects, “I always admired the hustle in her survival mode. The last I saw her, she had cleaned up and moved on. I was happy for White Trash Girl, so I kept it real and wrote this song about her. I will never water down THE TRUTH!”

To accompany the single release, The Mary Tyler Whores will release their mini ‘White Trash Girl‘ movie, shot on location in Hollywood. The music video is a tear-jerking story of triumph, heartbreak and deception, starring TV personality / host / punk-rock goddess, Erin Micklow. 
Written and directed by Daryl Scott for Money $ Punk Productions, Edited and VFX by Faust at Infinivision Media, and shot by Jose Rodriguez and Veneko Media.

Pre-save ‘White Trash Girl’ HERE

The Mary Tyler Whores’ music delivers a melodic gut punch of rebellion, with ‘White Trash Girl’ serving as the perfect introduction to their riotous sound. Their debut album, ‘As Filthy As We Wanna Be,’ promises to carry this torch forward, delivering punk rock in its rawest form to a new generation ready to embrace its unfiltered, rebellious energy.

 Frankie “Crime” Cassara shares his excitement about the partnership with Golden Robot Records:“The Mary Tyler Whores are thrilled to ink a global deal with Golden Robot Records! We are grateful for this opportunity and have immense respect for the Golden Robot family for believing in our twisted vision of punk fury and extreme rock ‘n’ roll. We’re stoked to bring this circus on the road worldwide with ‘As Filthy As We Wanna Be’ in 2024!”
Reflecting on the band’s ethos, Cassara adds, “I lived and grew up around the most unorthodox people and saw the craziest shit you can ever imagine. With no discrimination, let your freak flag fly. The future of The Mary Tyler Whores is to push the limits of live performance, keeping it edgy and real!”
Punk has evolved, and The Mary Tyler Whores are leading the charge into a new era of defiant, high-energy rock. Get ready to meet the next big thing – perhaps the last big thing – in the punk rock world. Stay tuned for the release of ‘White Trash Girl’ on June 21 and prepare for a raucous ride with The Mary Tyler Whores!

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 release of their much-acclaimed, first full-length studio album, “Of War And Flames” (released in March 2024 on AFM Records HERE!) and numerous, frenetically acclaimed live appearances in support of their debut, ALTERIUM – the uprising Italian power metal quintet led by Nicoletta Rosellini (ex. Kalidia, Walk in Darkness), has unleashed a new video single! 

About the song “Hear My Voice”, the exceptional singer tells us:

‘Hear My Voice’ is a deeply personal song that helped me move on from the past and strive for better. Packed with catchy synths, powerful guitars, and a sing-along chorus, it’s a must-hear for any power metal fan.”

After recently introducing a new line-up and making a powerful comeback from a brief hiatus with the track “Killer & The Queen”, Finnish heavy metal band OCEANHOARSE continues to forge ahead with the launch of their newest single, “Logos”.

The release is accompanied by an intense new video, which can be seen here:

“This song is one big jin and jang. It starts with the most aggressive music we have made but changes into a mystical spring rain kinda vibe“, OCEANHOARSE drummer Oskari Niemi states.

Bassist Silver Ots adds: “The RIFF catches you by the throat immediately and the song eases only in the middle section where it turns the jet engines off and goes gliding in the night sky. This is of course followed by an ass-ripping guitar solo and eventual crash-and-burn-heavy riff leaving no survivors.“

Listen to the song HERE

“Logos” was mixed and mastered by Lauri Hämäläinen. Cover art by Ben Varon.
“Logos” is out now via Noble Demon.

Oceanhoarse are:
Ben Varon – Guitar
Silver Ots – Bass
Oskari Niemi – Drums
Joonas Kosonen – Vocals

Psychedelic Prog Folk Rockers TUSMØRKE Release Single ‘”Dwarven Lord’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 15, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Having recently confirmed that “Dawn of Oberon” the upcoming album  from Prog Folk Rockers TUSMØRKE is set for release on the 30th August, Karisma Records have released a track from the album, which, as always with this group of musicians, features mystical beings who don’t quite fit the image  that we’ve come to know through countless fairy tales.
 
In this case that being is a “Dwarven Lord” as the title suggests, and as the band explains:
 
Oberon and Titania pop up in the pastures of the Norwegian cultural landscape! Though dwarven, it is not the size of the synth that matters as we enter the soundscape of certain natural Norwegian influences. This track pays homage to Tyrannosaurus Rex, Joe Meek, Shakespeare and Purcell. Talk about high culture for lowbrows!
 
“Dwarven Lord” can be downloaded or streamed on a number of services at https://orcd.co/dwarvenlord

As to the album itself, “Dawn of Oberon” sweeps us off on a subterranean expedition to the Kingdom of the Fair Folk and is described by TUSMØRKE as a “manifestation of our Peter Pan syndrome, with our aesthetics and ideals having remained unchanged for the last 25 years”.

Once again the highly acclaimed Norwegian artist Sverre Malling has provided the artwork for the album, and tracklisting is as follows:

  1. Dawn of Oberon
  2. Born to be mild
  3. Dwarven Lord
  4. Midsommernattsdrøm
  5. People View
  6. Troll Male

“Dawn of Oberon” will be available in CD, Digital and Limited Edition Milky Clear Vinyl formats and can be pre-ordered now at:

Smartlink to various services:  https://orcd.co/oberon
Bandcamp:  https://tusm-rke.bandcamp.com/album/dawn-of-oberon
Webshop:  https://www.karismarecords.no/shop/
US Webshop:  https://karismarecords.indiemerch.com/band/tusmorke

Having released twelve albums in twelve years TUSMØRKE are not only prolific, they are also highly imaginative, with their work ranging from the creation of entire worlds, to concept-based trilogies aimed at younger music fans.  Their (occasionally risqué) creations, combined with the band’s musical prowess and their lyrical themes, beguile the listener, whilst inserting a cleverly disguised commentary about the times in which we live.

TUSMØRKE is band whose joie de vivre translates extremely well into live performances, and fans will be able to witness it for themselves when the current lineup of Herjekongen on Keyboards, Brennesle on Drums, Krizla on  Flute and vocals, and Benediktator on Bass and Vocals, hit the stage on the following dates (more to come).

15 June:  Kampen Bistro, Oslo
27 June:  Pomorfestivalen, Vardø (Bydyra)
31 August: Release gig (details to be announced)

More information about TUSMØRKE can be found on the band’s Facebook page at  https://www.facebook.com/Tusmorke/

Below you can see the official video by Aleksander U. Serigstad for the track “Tøyens Hemmelighet” from TUSMØRKE’s 2018 album “Fjernsyn i Farver”.
