ATRON Release New Single ‘They Don’t Care About Us Now’

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

AltRock/Pop band ATRON release new single “They Don’t Care About Us Now” to all major platforms! The single is off of their debut album due out later this year.

“They Don’t Care About Us Now” can be streamed here.

Praise for “They Don’t Care About Us Now”

“Congrats, it’s a good one! Keep ‘em going like that!” – Phil Campbell (Motörhead)

“Too Cool!” – Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult)

“Damn good, catchy and sounds great, keep it up!” – Mike Maglieri (owner of Rainbow and Whiskey a Go-Go)

“I like it a lot!” – Jonathan Poneman (Co-founder of Sub Pop)

Martin Svensson started out as a Swedish popstar and songwriter. He signed to Universal Music, and Universal Publishing. Avicii actually recorded one of his songs – “Never Leave Me”, which ended up on his last album, Tim.

But Martin never enjoyed the public side of that life, and in an attempt to escape his own music career he started ghost writing autobiographies for international celebrities instead – something he continues to do to this day. Recently, he has worked with Matt Sorum from Guns N’ Roses, Stacey Dash, Perez Hilton, Angie Stone, Fousey (the influencer), UFC star The Mauler, and many others.

In May 2021, Martin had a chance meeting with Will Oaks, a young, good looking, badass singer and touring musician. By the very next day, Martin and songwriter Johan Lundgren, had written a draft of what would go on to become ATRON’s very first single. A week later, Will and their mutual friend, The Bridge, visited Martin at his home in Sweden, and they worked together to write and record the early versions of the ten songs that would go on to make ATRON’s debut album, Clouds.

THUNDER Release New Single & Lyric Video ‘Across The Nation’

For the third single from Dopamine, THUNDER roar back with the album’s most metallic song, the pulverising Across The Nation. 

When normal service resumes and the band embark on a run of arena shows in May 2022, it is going to be a spectacle like no other. This song makes that clear, explains Luke. “This is a very direct song, about being in a band but not being able to tour. The frustration we feel because of that is huge, so we’re very much looking forward to the time when we can get out there and play. We managed to get two Christmas gigs done at the end of last year, and it was so great to be back on stage. It was emotional for the crowd as well as us: for a lot of people who came along, it was the first time they’d been out in about 18 months!”

Watch / listen HERE.

‘Dopamine’ is Thunder’s first ever double album, consisting of 16 tracks, and comes at the perfect time for Thunder, whose line-up for the last quarter-century and more has been Luke and Danny Bowes (singer), plus Ben Matthews (guitar and keyboards), Chris Childs (bass) and Harry James (drums). 

They’ve been riding a wave of success since their 2015 comeback album Wonder Days, releasing the acclaimed All The Right Noises last year, with Classic Rock speculating that it could be the band’s best album yet.. The record went Top 3 in the UK Albums Chart; a quite incredible feat for a British hard rock band into their 4th decade. 

Thunder are at the very peak of their considerable form, still offering fans doses of ‘Dopamine’ after all these years. 
The album will be available in CD and double LP vinyl, with exclusive lenticular cover versions available only from the Thunder online store. 

Thunder will also embark upon a UK arena tour in May 2022, including a date at London’s OVO Arena Wembley.

17 CRASH Sign with Rockshots Records for Release of Fourth Studio Album “Stamina”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 13, 2022
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: 17 CRASH. Leave a comment

Rockshots Records is proud to announce their signing of Tuscan, Italy’s 17 CRASH for their fourth studio album “Stamina” to be released Winter 2022.

Driven by the passion of drummer Phil Hill and singer Ros Crash, 17 Crash began their crazy journey back in 2011.

At an earlier stage of their career, 17 Crash were a true and vibrant synonym of vintage 80s LA Glam Rock Style: big hair, leather pants and loud guitars. Distinctive attire and growling sounds finally merged into the debut album “Reading Your Dirty Minds” (2015). Right after their first release, the band toured extensively throughout the Italian peninsula while making sure the name of the band was being heard.

Evolving and exploring new sounds, it didn’t take that long until they found what they were looking for with the release of the second studio album “Hit The Prey” (2018). Finding the right balance between the 80s sound and modern AOR, the new record marked a significant turning point both in terms of musicianship and career approach.

Another two years of touring passed until a further stage of evolution with their third album “Through Hell And Back” (2020) reconfirming previous collaboration with long-esteemed colleagues Alessio Lucatti in production and Simone Mularoni for mixing and mastering. The third chapter written by 17 Crash featured groovy heavy riffs, polished sounds and even sharper tunes, effectively establishing the band as a true landmark not only within national borders, but in the international hard & heavy landscape as well.

2022 will witness the release of the fourth album “Stamina”, a much more complex and profound piece of work written entirely during the endless lockdowns from the 2020 pandemic that the world experienced. It will be 80s rock crossed with a particular duality between human struggle and the will to fight and resist against all the odds. It might seem that 17 Crash have come a long way, but rest assured they are just warming up for what’s to come.

For this band’s new adventure, 17 Crash also announces a new member to the family: bassist Alba Nasoni, alias The Mess Mistress.

ICYMI: In 2020, brothers Sakis and Themmis Tolis were bestowed the immortal honor of having a newly discovered fossil species named after them! Two researchers from the Natural History Museum in Luxembourg,  Dr. Ben Thuy and and Dr. Lea Numberger, recently found a new brittle-star species and decided to name it “Brezinacantha Tolis” in honor of the Tolis brothers. More info on the discovery and its etymology can be found HERE.

Highly-rated French melodic hardcore quartet, The Amsterdam Red Light District (TARLD), have revealed the artwork of their forthcoming album, Trapped, with the video of the title-track single.

‘Trapped’ follows TARLD‘s searing previous singles ‘Happy Ending’ and ‘Good Intentions’, featuring Drew York from Stray From The Path. View here: https://youtu.be/hfPHU6ABfCU

Tracklisting:

1: THREATENED GENERATION (Feat. Yukina from Hanabie [Japan])

A bastion of righteous anger in their home country, TARLD are widely-regarded following the release of the debut Gone For a While and their second LP Sapere Aude. Hailing from Lyon, the band are first and foremost a live band; a frenzied tour-de-force of melodic energy. Influenced by bands such as Refused, Fever 333, Raised Fist and their collaborators in Stray From The Path, TARLD have shared the stage with many big names in the punk scene, touring Europe and Japan and performing at Hellfest, Jera on Air, Resurrection Festival, Groezrock and many more. 

Primarily inspired by Enlightenment values, TARLD‘s music advocates liberty, progress, tolerance and fraternity. The band now return with their thumping new record Trapped, which features Drew York, Yukina from Japanese metalcore band Hanabie, and Mat Bastard from acclaimed French rock band Skip the Use.
