VENDETTA LOVE Release Stunning New Single + Video ‘Glue’

Irish Hard Rockers, Vendetta Love continue their rise with another stand-alone single that packs a serious punch! Never a band to rest on their laurels, Dublin/Portlaoise, four-piece, Vendetta Love continue raise the with their latest single, ‘Glue’ which gives off Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Frank Carter vibes, and is the debut single featuring bassist Neil McEvoy on vocals.

Commenting on the track, the band says; “This song came from a little chord progression and riff I had written a few years ago that I had always wanted to do more with, eventually expanding into the mix of sections that form the cohesive mess that it is. Lyrically it touches on a couple different themes like mental health/addiction and also some dreams/nightmares I’ve had that stuck in my mind. 
Both Chris and Shawn have added so much to the character of the song, weaving melodies and attitude in such wonderful ways. Darren plays a blinder on the drums and really pulls the whole song together. We recorded it in Trackmix Studio in Dublin, which is always a pleasure. Working with Michael there is always so comfortable and efficient.  
Singing lead vocals is a first for me and was honestly nerve-wracking but I couldn’t be happier with how the song turned out, and for anyone missing Shawn’s lovely voice he does make an appearance on vocals so all is not lost. Anyway, Glue, get it in your ears.”

The bands previous single, ‘Soothe’ can be accessed here. 

Vendetta Love are a hard hitting, solid force of no bullshit, hard rock & grunge from Ireland. They combine the anthemic brooding darkness of Seattle grunge, with the danger and excitement of LA’s Sunset Strip.
 
Having multiple headline shows under their belt as well as coveted support slots alongside Airbourne, Poets of the Fall, and even TikTok sensations Adam & The Metal Hawks they are no strangers to the stage.  
They’ve released two 5 track EPs in 2021and 2022, respectively with 3 singles in 2023. The band are currently gearing up for  jam-packed Summer full of live shows around the UK & Ireland.

SOUL EXTRACT Releases New Single ‘Anomaly’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on May 20, 2024
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SOUL EXTRACT. Leave a comment

Soul Extract‘s latest release “Anomaly”, produced by the esteemed songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Paul Trust, emerges as a mesmerizing blend of cerebral depth and raw beauty within the tumultuous currents of modern rock.
 
With a voice that pierces through the chaos, Soul Extract delves into the depths of human emotion, creating a sonic-scape that tells a story that is as violent as it is soul-stirring. “Paul and I wanted to create a sci fi story about a lone survivor of a destroyed planet drifting through space in hyper sleep”, explains Soul Extract. “Dreaming of his feet once again touching the ground but doubting the importance of his existence due to the current circumstances.”

Purchase/Stream: https://link.fixtmusic.com/anomaly

The track exudes a rare creative clarity, defying genre conventions as Soul Extract fuses orchestral and electronic elements with heavy guitars and harsh drums. “Anomaly” encapsulates Soul Extract‘s distinctive vocal style, marking a thrilling journey through the unpredictable circumstances a lone survivor finds themselves in, and ultimately life itself. Featuring a diverse array of instruments including his signatures use of synthesizers, as well as drums, guitar, bass, and even violin, “Anomaly” showcases Soul Extract’s innovative ability to capture fierce energy and raw emotion in the confines of orchestral rock. 

Paul Trust, a graduate of the University of Miami School of Music engineering, is a highly versatile, RIAA Platinum-certified songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and label owner who is notably known for discovering, co-writing with, and developing country superstar Morgan Wallen. He is also known for his work with MNQN, Starset, Downplay, Say Anything, Diecast, Endo, Jesse Strange, Atom Smash, and Sunday Driver.

Cerebral. Beautiful. Violent. Soul Extract taps into a wealth of human emotions and experiences to generate a listening space that is as intense and unpredictable as life itself. The highly personal inspiration for Soul Extract’s creations gives every song an invigorating level of creative clarity, and the artist’s willingness to smash through genre barriers puts him at the forefront of modern music.

Although Soul Extract’s stylistic approach fits within the broad scope of electronic rock, labels can’t begin to describe the exploratory, borderline progressive nature of the songs themselves. Josh Mullis, the architect behind Soul Extract’s elaborate compositions, brings a deconstructive mindset to his craft, tearing apart genres and fusing their most compelling elements back together to build calculated and highly detailed tracks.
This analytical approach to Soul Extract began to take shape in 2013, and after years spent synthesizing the sounds of metal, electronic, and orchestral music, the artist unleashed his fiery debut album, Circadian Algorithm. Loaded wall-to-wall with emotive vocals and explosive instrumental sections, the album has laid the foundation for a developing career with an upward trajectory.

Mullis’ passion for music began at a young age, and he has traditionally pulled from deeply personal events for his creative stimulus. Finding escape from family struggles by picking up a guitar as a teenager, Mullis discovered those early creative efforts were able to carry him through unpredictable times. As an adult, a motivating force for his music rests within humanitarian endeavors, as Mullis donates proceeds from Soul Extract to various charities.

For Mullis, music is an indescribable force capable of sparking intense emotion, and this force is the essence of an artist in its purest form. As the project name suggests, Soul Extract is Josh Mullis’ unaltered expression of himself, and his passionate approach to songwriting shines through on every track he produces.

Tony West was raised in the Bronx on Ramones, Bad Brains, and NYHC. Hearing the call of the wild west, Tony made his way to Los Angeles at 19 years old. He initially collaborated with guitarist Todd Youth (Murphy’s Law/Danzig) and Malfunkshun, which was kept active by Andy Wood’s brother Kevin Wood.

Tony took a break from L.A. to try out Memphis in 1998. While he was there, he attended the first Saliva gig with Paul Crosby on drums. This historic event marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Paul and Tony, ultimately leading to a management collaboration and Paul joining Blacklist Union. In addition, Tony recorded with Saliva and Jon E. Love (Love/Hate) in 2014.

Tony decided to go in his own direction in 2006. With a shamanistic blend of Stone Temple Pilots, G N’ R, Malfunkshun, and Mother Love Bone… Blacklist Union was born.

NASTYVILLE‘s new single “Livin’ in a Mess” was released Saturday, May 18th. The single, is available on all the best music stores in digital format and on the Crashsound Distribution showcase.

“’Livin’ in a Mess’ is basically about the abuse of power by the powerful, which can range from harassing people in the workplace, from all these fucking wars at the expense of the marginalized and so as a result you’re always living in a total mess.”

Nastyville was born in 2012 from an idea of Danny boy (drummer) and Dave ( Guitar) to put a new face on the rock genre. The first record Viva hell-A from 2015 features old-school riffs and the bite of the best street/glam rock, with Lex on vocals Kruska on bass and Manuel on guitar.

After the exit of Lex and Kruska cotinuate their journey with Mark Lee on vocals (still on the force) and Fabian Anrdechen, with the release Glam Caramel (2017), distributed and produced by Volcano Records record with more metal sounds, which gave the band the opportunity to open for the Italian tours of Skid Row, Crashdiet, Enuff’z’nuff, Adam Bomb, John Corabi, Simon Wright and many others.

The last record Songs of Threesome released in 2022 distributed and produced by Delta Records sees again a lineup change with Dega on guitar, Paul (former THEE S.t.p.) on bass.In 2023 Danny Boy exits the band to make room for Christian on drums. The band is working on new material, with an all new and modern sound refreshed and regenerated by Chris Tabeat on skins, who brought a more reasoned and genuine sound, and the brand new bassist Carlo Giordano, who recently joined the band, who already notes the arrival of new blood for the band!
