Leading the charge is the recently released single ‘Park Bench Gods’, a high-energy, no-holds-barred track that sets the tone for what fans can expect from the full-length album. It’s a blistering, foot-stomping reminder of the band’s signature blend of grit, soul, and rock fury.
Featuring the ferocious guitar work of founder Johnny Casino, the distinctive, soulful vocals of original frontman Grant McIver, the relentless drive of long-time drummer Ben Fox, and new members Xabi Garre (guitar) and Juancho Lopez (bass), Roads, Stars captures the sound of a band reborn, delivering with the same fire that made them cult legends.
Emerging from the Australian underground in the early ’90s, Asteroid B-612 became known for their no-compromise approach to rock, blending Detroit punk energy, Aussie pub rock soul, and garage rock grit. From sweaty pub shows across Australia to their cult following in the U.S.A and Europe, the band became a seminal name in underground rock circles, known for their high-octane live performances, explosive guitar work, and raw, heartfelt songwriting.
With Roads, Stars, they pick up right where they left off – only louder and more defiant than ever. Available for pre-save now via Golden Robot Records.
Prepare for the ritual. Dark groove band Witches Ride are set to unleash their long-awaited new album Collector on June 19th, 2025. Alongside the album announcement, the band has dropped a gripping new music video for the single, “Among the Crowd.”
Described by the band as “a bit of a dark rock opera about a preacher who loses his following and sells his soul to the devil in hopes of getting it back,” Collector plunges listeners into a shadowy world of damnation and redemption.

Witches Ride is a dark groove machine—part Southern-fried chaos, part industrial ritual. Fusing the bone-crushing swagger of Clutch with the sinister theatrics of Marilyn Manson, this band rides the line between dirty rock ‘n’ roll and occult-fueled spectacle. Think smoke, sweat, and distortion—wrapped in velvet and barbed wire.
Driven by thunderous riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and snarling vocals, Witches Ride brings a unique alchemy to the stage. With the keys casting eerie atmospheres and haunted textures, the sound is as cinematic as it is feral—blues-born, hell-bound, and soaked in gasoline.
Every show is a ceremony. Every song is a spell. And once you’re under, there’s no turning back.
Welcome to Witches Ride.
Witches Ride Members:
Sara Brady- Lead Singer
Evo Mikey- Lead Guitar
Delmy Ventura – Bass
Bromden – Drums

American metalcore band Woe, Is Me released their new single, “Devil in My Mind.” Available everywhere now via SBG Records.
Produced by Scott Seigel and Corey Bautista, the new track serves as an official glimpse into the band’s upcoming full-length effort.
“This song is about the silent battles that come after sobriety—the moments nobody talks about. It’s not just about getting sober; it’s about staying sober when your mind turns against you. It’s an attempt to capture that internal war, the fear of slipping, and the strength it takes to keep holding the line when everything in you wants to let go,” explains Hance.
Woe, Is Me is confirmed to perform at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY on Saturday, September 20th.
Stay tuned for more announcements surrounding the upcoming album and future tour dates.
