Denver dirt rockers LOST RELICS have released their new single Now We’re Even via Coffin & Bolt / Golden Robot Records. LOST RELICS throw out some seriously heavy doomy monstrous riffs on Now We’re Even and come at you with a sheer sledgehammer brutality. 

Listen to Now We’re Even HERE

Now We’re Even is the second single from Lost Relics upcoming EP release. Dark times and isolation manifest themselves into driving grooves and breakneck time changes for this barnburner track. Imagine pacing the room, trusting no one and crawling out of your skin and you will be part of this sludgy, riff filled journey. With nods to early Amphetamine Reptile records bands, Lost Relics has evened the score. 

Volume. Riffs. Apathy. Lost Relics formed in 2019 and have been gaining steam since the day they plugged in.

Formed from the ashes of Low Gravity, The Worth and Smolder and Burn, Marc Brooks, Jess Ellis, Jason James and Greg Mason quickly hit the ground rolling with their monstrous riffs with breakneck changes and dual vocal delivery. After releasing their self-titled EP in February of 2019, they have steadily been taking the stage to open for national acts and playing festivals across the front range of Colorado. 

After teaming up with Coffin & Bolt Records in September of 2020, Lost Relics is now in the process of finishing up and EP for release early 2021

QUIET CONFUSION Premiere Brand New Music Video ‘Wastin’ Time’

Influenced by rough rock’n’roll grooves, blues sounds and stoner vibes, Italy’s QUIET CONFUSION have unleashed a brand new music video for the track “Wastin’ Time”.

After signing with Go Down Records in 2013 and releasing their latest critically acclaimed album “Commodor” in 2014, Quiet Confusion now presents a first appetizer for the follow up album, which is due to be released in October 2021.

Says the band about “Wastin’ Time”:“The song’s lyrics are about the condition of musicians and artists, who often have the feeling of spending time in a passion considered to be frivolous and useless by the majority of people. We do not believe that, because the only way to survive this prepackaged world is taking some time and listening to ourselves. Music and art allows us to express the inner side, making us feeling free and alive. Rock’n’roll!”

The video was recorded in November 2020 at Paolo Camponogara’s Mellowsong Studio in Verona, Italy. Shot and edited by Alessandro Romagnoli and Mattia Cacciatori.

“Wastin’ Time” is also available on various digital STREAMING PLATFORMS

“TRAGEDY rocks sweet balls and can do no wrong!  They are great fun!” -(Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden)

If you’re allergic to smiling, be afraid… be very afraid! Napalm Records is pleased to announce that New York based cover song reinventors TRAGEDY have inked a worldwide record deal with the premium Austrian rock and metal label!

Born out of the impenetrable divide of disco and metal, TRAGEDY takes disco, soft-rock and pop classics, and completely re-imagines them as glorious, red-hot heavy metal. Since the debut album, We Rock Sweet Balls and Can Do No Wrong – a glamorous bunch of Bee Gees-songs redone in heavy metal manner – these fearsome brothers have seamlessly obliterated the line between disco and metal. Their music is sure to get your head banging, your booty shaking, put a smile on your face and your fist in the air. TRAGEDY’s past releases have charted on the NACC Heavy Top 10, and the band was awarded 2019 Album of the Year by the Necrosexual on Metal Injection.

The six-piece consistently tours North America, the UK & continental Europe, and has headlined festival stages  such as SXSW (USA), CMJ (USA), Musikfest (USA), Bloodstock (UK), Rebellion (UK), Summer Breeze (GER), Foudrock (FR), Motocultor (FR), ParkPop (BE), Glastonbudget (UK), Legends of Rock (UK), Belladrum (UK) and Hammerfest/Hard Rock Hell (UK).
 
Their first release with Napalm Records will include TRAGEDY’s unique twist on artists such as ABBA, Donna Summer, Neil Diamond, Adele, The Weather Girls and of course, The Bee Gees. 

TRAGEDY on the signing:            
“We’re thrilled that TRAGEDY has signed with Napalm Records! Excited, delighted and fully aroused. It’s awesome to be able to give our music a proper worldwide release with a beloved, internationally renowned record label. Thus begins our scheme for world domination – death to false disco-metal!” (Mo’Royce Peterson, TRAGEDY: All Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees & Beyond)
 
It doesn’t matter if you love or hate disco metal – you will unabashedly love TRAGEDY and their bombastic mixture of both genres, glitter and revelry. To get a heaviness induced disco feeling for what lies ahead, watch the live video for “Hot Stuff”, featuring Alex Skolnick of Testament on lead guitar.

TRAGEDY is:
Disco Mountain Man – lead vocals, lead keyboards
Mo’Royce Peterson – lead vocals, lead guitar
Andy Gibbous Waning – lead bass, lead vocals
Garry Bibb – lead guitar, lead vocals
The Lord Gibbeth – lead drums
 Lance – towel boy, complete idiot

‘70s classic rock legends CACTUS came to be known as The American Led Zeppelin, a moniker they owned by virtue of their explosive blues rock stylings, subdued yet undeniably brilliant musicianship, not to mention their energetic and vivacious stage presence which made them a staple of arena rock venues around the globe. Now the band have returned with a smashing new album called Tightrope that strikes a delicate balance between powerful, driving rockers and more complex, heady album tracks. Still led by iconic drummer Carmine Appice alongside long-time members Jimmy Kunes on vocals and Randy Pratt on harmonica, Tightrope is according to Appice “one of the best Cactus albums we’ve ever done. From playing to production and songs, we really took a step up!” They are joined by new lead guitarist/vocalist Paul Warren (ex-Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker) and James Caputo on bass. Tightrope will also give long-time Cactus fans a reason to cheer as it includes special guest appearances from original Cactus guitarist Jim McCarty and singer Phil Naro!

Tightrope will be available on digipak CD, a deluxe 2LP set with a gatefold jacket and colored vinyl, and of course digital platforms everywhere starting April 2 courtesy of Cleopatra Records!
