Golden Robot Records have released remastered ROSE TATTOO album ‘Beats from a Single Drum’, available to stream everywhere and on limited edition vinyl.

Beats from a Single Drum features 10 remastered songs from the 1986 album including ‘Calling,‘ ‘Michael Oreilly‘ and ‘Suddenly’ with the latter track featured as the wedding song for Scott (Jason Donovan) and Charlene (Kylie Minogue) on Neighbours. ‘Suddenly’ was also featured in a wedding scene for the hit UK show Gavin and Stacey. 
 
This era was defining for Rose Tattoo with a changed line up, new members in the fold and Beats from a Single Drum released for the first time to great eagerness from fans and critics alike. The main contributing members of this album were Angry Anderson (vocals), Tim Gaze (guitar), Andy Cichon (keyboard/backing vocals) and Scott Johnston (drums/backing vocals).  This pivotal time in Tatts history cemented the band as an established name and a force within the Australian music landscape. 

This is not the first Rose Tattoo release Golden Robot has been involved with, previously releasing Tatts: Live in Brunswick (2017), Blood Brothers (2018) and Scarred for Live 1980-1982 (2018). The label was also home to the Tatts when they supported Guns N’ Roses on their 2017 Australian stadium tour. 

“We are truly excited to remaster what was the most commercially successful album for Rose Tattoo and Angry [Anderson]. Tatts will always be a rock n’ roll institution with Angry being one of the most notable Australian front men of all time.” says Golden Robot Records CEO & President, Mark Alexander-Erber. 

Led by front man Angry Anderson, Beats from a Single Drum takes on a new life form to deliver a clear and familiar sound to Rose Tattoo fans. Beats from a Single Drum will be made available on vinyl in 2023, a must have for any serious record collector.

WARGASM Reveal Explosive Music Video for New Single ‘Super Fiend’

Dynamic London-based duo WARGASM has uncovered the explosive music video for their song “Super Fiend”. Watch the video HERE.

Paper Magazine who premiered the video said: “‘Super Fiend” pushes past the point of aggravation and lays it all out on the table.” Check it out HERE.

On “Super Fiend” the band said: “Inspired by the bleakness of the 2000AD comic universe, the sound of slipknot and the way our society is moving: we wrote this song because we want to be left alone, free from fake friends and the posturing that can plague the relationships around us. It’s nice to be nice, but it’s also nice sometimes to just be. With the human experience comes a spectrum of emotions. Anger is energy, suck it up and feel how you feel.”

In addition, the long-awaited vinyl for EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE is available now! Fans can purchase the vinyl HERE.

The pair is currently on European tour with Enter Shikari. This follows their recent team up with the group for “The Void Stares Back.” Right out of the gate, it reeled in 1.5 million Spotify streams and 209K YouTube views on the music video. Not to mention they will be rejoining Limp Bizkit as they embark on their UK and European tour.

Earlier this year the duo performed with them on their North American Still Sucks Tour making stops at some of the country’s iconic arenas including Madison Square Garden. See full tour dates below.
 
Across the 7-tracks of EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE, showcases their talent for innovative and chaotic melodies. EXPLICIT: THE MIXXXTAPE  features the aforementioned single “Super Fiend”, along with the previously released songs “D.R.I.L.D.O” “Fukstar” “Salma Hayek” and “Pyro Pyro”. Additionally, this year has seen WARGASM grace the covers of Alternative Press and Kerrang!

Elsewhere WARGASM made history at the Kerrang! Awards 2022, walking away with the first-ever New Noise Award.

ABOUT WARGASM:
Modern life is war: we are Wargasm. Three years ago this project began as a retaliation to the stagnant state of rock music around the world. A lot of synth and hip-hop has the same energy and elements as metal. Genre is dead and we’re living off of “Energy.” Wargasm was born in the right place and the right time to capture that feeling. This should be sexy and violent. Whatever people think, they’ll think. We hope you find something from it, but we also don’t care if you don’t. All we can do is guide you here.
We called our mixtape Explicit, because Rock & Roll lost its way and abandoned its taboos. We’re here to add some new ones. We’re here to do horny rock music, because no one else is. We’re here to confuse you. We’re here to prove everyone wrong. We’re here to make you say, “What the fuck?”

A few years ago, they met and incorporated synthesizers into their bloodthirsty brand of metallic mayhem. The single “Spit.” ripped a hole through streaming services with over 3.7 million Spotify streams. Buzz increased as they dropped “Rage All Over,” “Salma Hayek,” and “Scratchcard Feeling.” NME named them among “100 Acts to Watch in 2021,” and Alternative Press touted them on its “New Bands To Watch” cover in 2021. They took home “Best UK Breakthrough” at The Heavy Music Awards. Beyond gigs with Yungblud and Creeper, they left audiences stunned at Reading and Leeds Festival, Download Pilot Festival, Bloodstock, Louder Than Life and Riot Festival.

GOD ALONE Announce April UK Tour Dates

Cork, Ireland’s GOD ALONE have today announced April UK tour dates in support of their recently released sophomore album, ETC, via Prosthetic Records. Tickets to the math / noise rock group’s upcoming tour will be on sale this Wednesday (December 14) at 10am GMT.

Revisit GOD ALONE‘s ETC here.

Speaking on the tour announcement, the band comments: “We can’t wait to begin what is going to be our longest tour yet. We’re so excited to see all the places that we’ve never played before and revisit some of our favourite cities. This is also going to be the first tour we’ve ever done that isn’t through public transport!

“We’re currently working some new unreleased material into our set which is a further evolution of the sounds on our last album but still very different, so come a long and see all of that!”

GOD ALONE UK tour dates:
04 April – Prince Albert – Brighton
05 April – Shacklewell Arms – London
07 April – Forum Basement – Tunbridge Wells
08 April – Crofters Rights – Bristol
10 April – Hug & Pint – Glasgow
11 April – Rough Trade – Nottingham
12 April – Record Junkee – Sheffield
13 April – Adelphi – Hull
14 April – Parish – Huddersfield
15 April – Strangeforms Fest – Brudenell Social Club – Leeds

The five musicians behind GOD ALONE are quite literally students of their craft; ETC – their second full length album – was recorded at MTU Cork School of Music which they all attend. ETC was produced by the band and Christopher Hockey, and mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Witch Fever, GGGOLDDD, Ghost). The origins of the band lie in a heavier, post-metal sound, but the intervening years and an influx of new and stimulating influences has seen them broaden their palette, expand their horizons and hone a distinctive sound.

Whilst embracing all that the Irish music scene has to offer, GOD ALONE are constantly pushing to make their way out of Ireland and further afield. Cutting their teeth in an eclectic and enthusiastic local scene helped them to refine their live chops, giving their performance increased weight and attention as they progressed. Now when they write, the live iteration of their music is always at the forefront of their minds.

GOD ALONE‘s approach traverses through mathrock, dance, avant-garde, post-punk and more on its way to its final destination. Citing the Talking Heads as a big influence, GOD ALONE embrace absurdism at every turn – in particular the absurdity of nothingness; the art of existing without meaning or context.

Minimalist album art courtesy of Ian McInerney highlights the repetition of things that have no clear beginning or end – the endless loop of everything and nothing all at once.

TEN Present New Single ‘Look For The Rose’ from Upcoming Studio Album

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

TEN are proud to present to you with their new single – the track “Look For The Rose” -from their upcoming studio album “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, which will be released on January 20, 2023, via Frontiers Records.

Pre-order/save “Something Wicked This Way Comes” HERE: https://orcd.co/tenwicked

Listen to “Look For The Rose” HERE:

UK hard rock stalwarts TEN used the downtime during the worldwide pandemic to work on not one, but two new albums. The first album to be released, “Here Be Monsters”, landed on February 18, 2022 via Frontiers Music Srl. And now, the label is pleased to announce the second album of the two, “Something Wicked This Way Comes” on January 20, 2023.

Following the success of the recent string of albums, from “Albion” to “Illuminati”, Hughes was joined once again by guitarists Dann Rosingana and Steve Grocott along with bass player Steve McKenna, keyboard maestro Darrel Treece-Birch and drummer Markus Kullman (Sinner, Glenn Hughes, Voodoo Circle) for the recording of “Something Wicked This Way Comes”. TEN continues to raise the musical bar higher for themselves, a goal they push on every release. Stunning guitar work, rich keyboards, excellent bass and drum interplay along with Hughes’ rich vocals are the order of the day here, as they were on this album’s immediate predecessor, “Here Be Monsters”.

“Something Wicked This Way Comes” was produced by Gary Hughes and mixed and mastered by Dennis Ward. TEN’s longstanding professional association with Dennis has been ongoing since he mixed their 2011 album, “Stormwarning” and has always guaranteed albums with stunning sound and production.

Fans should note that there are no ties between “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “Here Be Monsters” or anything of this nature. The band simply crafted two high quality releases and decided to put them out separately, in a fashion not too dissimilar to what happened with their amazing first two records which were recorded one after the other in a very short period of time.

British hard rockers TEN have an outstanding history of releases in their storied and revered catalog. Starting out as a sort of solo project built around singer and songwriter Gary Hughes, TEN found their audience playing a hard rock sound influenced by such giants as UFO, Thin Lizzy, Magnum, Giant, and Whitesnake in a time when playing this particular sound was considered commericial suicide. The band’s early records such as “The Name Of The Rose”, “The Robe”, “Spellbound“, and “Babylon” established the band as mainstays in the melodic hard rock genre, which has continued throughout their now 26 year career over the course of 15 studio albums.

“Something This Wicked Way Comes” Tracklisting:
1. Look For The Rose
2. Brave New Lie
3. The Tidal Wave
4. Parabellum
5. Something Wicked This Way Comes
6. The Fire And The Rain
7. New Found Hope
8. The Only Way Out
9. When The Darkness Comes
10. The Greatest Show On Earth

Line-Up:
Gary Hughes – Vocals, Guitar, Backing Vocals
Dann Rosingana – Guitars
Steve Grocott – Guitars
Darrel Treece-Birch – Keyboards
Steve McKenna – Bass
Markus Kullman – Drums

Additional Musicians:
Scott Hughes – Backing Vocals
Karen Fell – Backing Vocals
