Dark, mysterious, and alluring, welcome to BASTETTE‘s ‘Sick & Twisted’ fantasy that draws you in and spits you out!

Gritty rock/pop group BASTETTE have released a brand new single ‘Sick & Twisted’ and will play their first live gig in over 15 months in Newcastle (today Friday 23rd July) as way of celebration.

“‘Sick & Twisted’ summaries a toxic passionate relationship, centered around lust and mind games”, explains Bastette singer/songwriter Caroline Kenyon. “This particular relationship clouded my judgment and I forgot what normal and acceptable behaviour was. By exerting control through intimacy, it weakened my position and fulfilled that person’s desires and built their ego… they got off on it. Blackmail through intimate favours was their go to form of influence and in the end I was forced to decide what behaviour I was willing to accept. ‘Sick & twisted is my perspective on this fucked- up “situation” and while being a tale of caution, it demonstrates that there are ways to exit toxic situations if you put your mind to it and have the necessary support”, concludes Carolyn.

‘Sick & Twisted’ is taken from Bastette’s forthcoming new ep ‘Exposed’ and follows hot on the heels of previous single ‘Talk About It’. The release of the new music video is followed by Bastette’s first live in-venue show in over 15 months at Trillians, Newcastle Friday 23rd July. “We’ve actually got a real live show! We can’t wait. Playing gigs is one of the main reasons we went into music and there is no feeling like it. Since the unprecedented challenges of 2020 and beyond there have been lots of changes and hard work in the Bastette camp to be 100% ready for this new  EP and when safe to do so, perform in venues with audiences ready and waiting to embrace the incredible feeling that only comes from live music!”, says Carolyn.

Bastette’s ‘Exposed’ ep was recorded at the Lounge Recording Studio in Wigan with producer Gareth Nuttall (Frank Turner). Taking influence from the Pretty Reckless, Halestorm and Starbenders, Bastette mesh sparkling rock sonics and gritty pop smarts with original songwriting that lyrically resonates with real life. Each track on the ep is laid to bare with exploration of betrayal, love, sex, control, manipulation, and passion all moulded into one, but authentically asks ‘how much of it is real, and how much of it is fantasy’?

To support the release of their new music Bastette has a number of shows booked that includes a UK tour with Marisa and the Moths, plus the band are special guests to Transvision Vamp legend Wendy James, and Aussie rockers Massive on a number of their UK dates!

“This song tells the story of endless summer nights and a young man’s desperate fight to push his tomorrows away. To immerse himself or herself in the emergency of the present tense. The way the secrecies of the night reveal unknown truths, and you don’t have to see things too clear, you just have to see them.”

So, follow THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA on another journey telling the stories of broken hearts, hopeful beginnings and glorious party nights! 

SNAKE BITE WHISKY Release New Single/Official Video ‘Choke’

Australia’s number one Heavy Outlaw Sleaze Rock band, SNAKE BITE WHISKY, has released a second single and video off their acclaimed second album, Black Candy. Choke is a gloriously over the top, pulsating sleaze rock anthem, dripping with innuendo and huge, filthy riffs. The track is a fan favourite from the album, especially amongst the female fans and subsequently was an obvious choice for the band’s second single.

Lead singer, Jay R states, “Choke is basically a fuck you to woke culture. It’s a celebration of sexually confident women who know what they want and go and get it and it’s hugely satisfying that it’s so popular with our female fans. You can bang on about #metoo and all that other PC shit but at the end of the day most people just wanna fuck without any hang ups!”

Featuring dark, strobing, trippy visuals and a high octane performance by the band, the video explores the transformation of an innocent girl into a BDSM inspired mistress and has a cinematic feel thanks to the superb camera work and editing. The video was directed by Kyle Golly of the No.One Network who has directed the bands previous video’s for Down In The Dirt, Last Man Standing and Hammered. The clip was filmed on location in Brisbane, Australia and features a performance by Australian model, Scarlett Envy.

The rock and edgy pop anthem, ‘Wannabe’, sees Melbourne based 18 year old CASSIDY PARIS delivering a song based on personal experience about society’s obsession with popularity.

“It focuses on the obsession today’s youth has on popularity and how they are willing to sacrifice their friendships and integrity. The youth of today are not able to be original. They all want to be Tik Tok or YouTube stars. Talentless people are trying to become famous for doing nothing at all”. Yet it was a pattern that was becoming all too familiar, Cassidy explains about the inspiration behind the song. “This song is how people fall into the pattern of becoming followers and focussed on materialistic possessions and fame”.

Wannabe is the lead song from Cassidy’s upcoming new ep/cd titled FLIRT – out September 1st and can be pre-ordered now via : https://www.ecwid.com/store/store14194061/

Cassidy is currently being managed by Direction Management in the United States which boasts a team that has worked with Pat Benatar, The Go-Go’s and The Sweet.

JOE BONAMASSA Releases New Single “Notches” From Highly Anticipated Upcoming Studio Album

Blues rock artist Joe Bonamassa is back with a brand-new single from his highly anticipated upcoming album, due out later this year. “Notches” exemplifies the unwavering journey Joe has experienced while taking the road less travelled leading him to ultimately find success. A bit older in years, but wiser in knowledge earned, his new sound has a raw and vital flavour, combined with a resolute skill that can only be gained through years of perseverance and unyielding dedication. The first single arrives today as a foot-stomping, fist-pounding dose of rock mastermind that pays homage to the artist’s resilient history, with an eye on the future as he continues to bend genres, break down walls and defy the odds of the music industry.

Joe belts out the Blues-tinged lyrics in “Notches” with a vocal range that gets even better with each release, diving deeper into his rock capabilities as he croons the resounding chorus, “I got miles under my wheels. Notches in my walkin’ cane.” He takes no prisoners with his hard-hitting anthem and holds nothing back, delivering a fresh unchartered sound that is not like anything he’s done before. The cinematically excellent official music video was directed by Paul van Kan.

Watch the music video HERE

For recording “Notches,” Bonamassa hit the studio with long-time collaborators Kevin Shirley as producer and manager/business partner Roy Weisman as executive producer. The track was mixed by Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Toto, Bon Jovi) and was co-written with Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke). Recorded in New York City at Germano Studios/The Hit Factory the band includes Steve Mackey (bass), Lachy Doley (piano), Bunna Lawrie (didgeridoo), Bobby Summerfield (percussion), and Late Night with David Letterman’s Anton Fig (drums and percussion), along with Mahalia Barnes, Juanita Tippins, and PrinnieStevens on backing vocals. The fantastic artwork on this single was created by famous graphic artist Hugh Syme (Rush, Aerosmith, Whitesnake).

The lyrics allude to Joe’s tenured uphill battle with the music industry. Looking back, he reflects, “Twenty years ago, I recorded a record of covers that eventually was called ‘Blues Deluxe.’ It was recorded at Bobby Nathan’s studio in Manhattan. It captured an energy and purpose that always stuck with me as an artist…The music business is tough, very tough. Especially back in those days when major labels pulled all the strings and, in my case, all the punches.”
Now, maybe more than ever, Bonamassa holds the power of controlling both his artistry and his business in both hands. With 24 #1 albums, yearly sold-out tours worldwide and custom annual cruises, he’s a hard act to beat. Joe knows his worth, and albeit humble, he has no plans to back down now. “Notches” is a testament to his credentials. It’s Joe Bonamassa at his finest, ready to rock.

“Notches” is a song that begs to be heard live in an audience, banging loud from the speakers. Luckily for fans, this month Joe heads back out on tour for 42 shows, starting on the West Coast in the US at the end of this month, then traveling around the rest of the country throughout the fall season before taking the stage at sea for his sold out Keeping The Blues Alive At Sea VII cruise, sailing from Miami, FL to Ocho Rios, Jamaica on February 21-25, 2022, by way of the Norwegian Pearl.
