Hard Southern Rockers 13SOUTH Drop Second Single ‘High Enuff’

Southern Rockers 13South drop second single “High Enuff” from their upcoming self-titled record High Enuff.

“’High Enuff’ is a tongue-in-cheek song, a call to arms for youth and the old schoolers still in their prime. Hopefully everyone else is reminded of that first taste of freedom of letting go of the cares of the world before you feel the weight of the world later in life,” said Chris Blevins (co-founder).

Stream/Download “High Enuff” HERE

Coming from the backwoods of Magnolia, MS, 13South have been described as “If Lynyrd Skynyrd and Junkyard had a baby.” These Hard Southern Rockers have dredged through adversity and the windfalls of life to bring you their upcoming album. The songs are fun, rebellious, and renderings of the lifestyle and mystique of this band.

Junkyard’s Tim Mosher calls “High Enuff,” – “A great swinging groove with plenty of attitude into a big hook filled chorus.”

Founded by long time Southern Hard Rockers Chris Blevins (Vocals, Guitar) and Bradley Berryhill (Bass) in 2022, they are signed by G4L Records. With their previous band Voodoo13, they have toured all over the Southeast and then some, and have shared the stage with greats: Junkyard, Jackyl, Better Than Ezra, Warrant, Great White, John Corabi, Candlebox, Trixter, Blacktop Mojo, Them Dirty Roses, The Nixons, Adelitas Way, Wicked Wisdom, Buck Cherry, Faster Pussycat, Naked Beggars, Rehab, Sponge, Alice In Chains, Josh Todd Band, Black Stone Cherry, Ra, and Powerman 5000.

13South 2023 Tour Dates:

  • 3/31: Duluth, GA @ Sweetwater Bar & Grill
  • 4/1: Nashville, TN @ 404 Bar

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like The Allman Brothers, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from TESLA include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000 and recently debuted their new single, “Time To Rock!”

TESLA has endured many of the same taste-changing challenges that affected many in the post-grunge world, but through it all, their blue-collar work ethic and dedication to the faithful fan base has helped them not just survive, but thrive. TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

Vocals: Jeff Keith
Guitar: Frank Hannon

Bass: Brian Wheat

Danish SUCKERPUNCH Sign with Wormholedeath, Re-Release “Redneck Gasoline” Album on April 21st

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 21, 2023
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SUCKERPUNCH. Leave a comment

Wormholedeath Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Danish rock n’ roll band SUCKERPUNCH for the re-release of their album ‘Redneck Gasoline’ on April 21st, 2023. The album, which was originally released in 2019, is heavily inspired by the Southern way of life and music from America. With their authentic sound, Suckerpunch draws musical influence from the classic rock scene and the history of America, whether it is the wild west or the moonshiners in the deep south.

“We don’t think that hard about the meaning of life, we leave that to others, instead we play badass redneck boogie,” said Suckerpunch about their music. The band is composed of Kurt Noesgaard on vocals, Lars Groth on drums, Jesper Willumsgaard on bass, Morten Noren on guitar, and Morten Flindt on guitar. Their music features lots of guitar with blistering solos, catchy choruses, and a deep, tight, and steady rhythm section.

Suckerpunch’s music takes you on a journey into a world of Southern-inspired life and history, from tales of desperados to the life of a moonshiner – from riding your Harley on the open highway to a broken heart from a girlfriend. Their music is so authentic that you feel like you’re there with them.

“We are thrilled to sign with Wormholedeath Records for the re-release of ‘Redneck Gasoline’, and more to come in the future,” said Suckerpunch.

‘Redneck Gasoline’ Tracklist

  1. Go Big or Go Home
  2. Dusty Windshield
  3. Hell To Pay
  4. Last Call
  5. Dead Man’s Hand
  6. Filthy Rich
  7. Gators
  8. Don’t You Come Back
  9. Cut The Crap
  10. Little Teaser

METIDE Release New Single ‘Lethe’; New Album “Erebos” Out June 9th

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: METIDE. Leave a comment

June 9th will see the release of “Erebos”, the sophomore studio album by Bergamo, Italy -based Post Metallers Metide. Recorded and engineered by Enrico Baraldi at Vacuum Studios, mixed by the band’s guitarist and singer Omar Carissimi and mastered by the iconic James Plotkin, “Erebos” wants to take its listener along an intense introspective journey. 

The six tracks are tied together by allegorical imagery and raw, visceral lyrics, while the sonic research of the band opens to a variety of explorations in the post-metal genre and beyond; from raging, distorted assaults, through atmospheric, cinematic passages, to electronic yet gut-wrenching pieces, “Erebos” aims to deliver a vibrant emotional palette. The artwork of the album, conceived as an integral part of the experience, offers a twisted dynamism of shapes and colours, which intends to be a visual augmentation to a soundscape for personal atonement.

In support of the upcoming album, Metide have unleashed the first single “Lethe”. You can listen to the track here:

Tracklist reads as follows:

  1. Acheron
  2. Lethe
  3. Styx
  4. Cocytus
  5. Phlegethon
  6. Erebos

“Erebos” will be coming out on June 9th via Black Lion Records and is now available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

Metide are:
Omar Carissimi – Vocals, guitar, synthesizers, samples
Riccardo Vaccaro – Guitar
Federico Benaglia – Bass
Antonio Cassella – Drums
