For the first time in eight years, and for the first time ever on Ipecac Recordings, Rhode Island's Daughters reveal a new song, off a yet unannounced but expected 2018 release.

"As longtime fans of many of the albums Ipecac has released, we are proud to be a part of their roster," says the band's own, Nick Sadler. "We are looking forward to getting back on road and playing new songs."

Satan in the Wait sounds sharp, dark and absolutely compelling, and like something that fits perfectly in the roster of a label run by Mike Patton, since it seems to be channeling equal amounts of the avant-garde theatricality of Faith No More, and the noise rocking spirit of illustrious bands, like Melvins and Fugazi.

Daughters are Alexis Marshall (vocals), Nick Sadler (guitar), Jon Syverson (drums) and Sam Walker (bass). The band had been on an indefinite hiatus since the release of their very successful 2010 self titled album, interrupted only for a handful of live appearances over the course of those eight years.



The band has announced a five-date North American tour in November. Dates below.

November 4 Brooklyn, NY Saint Vitus
November 9 Los Angeles, CA The Echo
November 10 San Francisco, CA Bottom of the Hill
November 15 Denver, CO Larimer Lounge
November 17 Chicago, IL Beat Kitchen

Hardcore unstoppable up and comers, Jesus Piece, are about to put out in their world their anticipated debut album, Only Self, and judging from lead single, Curse of the Serpent, as well as the newly unveiled, Neuroprison, it is going to feature some of the finest extreme metal we've heard in a while.

The new track doesn't need any more than two minutes to knock you out, and it's another fine example of the band's infernal sound and supreme heaviness.

Only Self comes out on August 24th, 2018 via Southern Lord.

New Zealand duo, Tuscoma, bring up a perfectly cohesive and effective blend of hardcore punk and extreme metal, eminently conveyed through the delightful monotony and vivid energy of their new track, Arkhitecturenominus, off the forthcoming album of the same name.

Arkhitecturenominus was Recorded by James Goldsmith at Blue Barn, and mastered by Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden, San Francisco, and it comes out through MUZAI Records and Antena Krzkyu on August 16th, 2018.

The duo exploits and imposes on the unyielding repetitiveness of their songwriting, to come up with something riveting and quite emphatic, mixing pounding rhythms with strong, maniacal guitars and intense vocals, in a hyperactive blend which cannot be overlooked. The louder it's played, the more it flourishes.

Tuscoma are Kurt Williams (guitar, vocals) and Joe Wright (drums).

The Rover is an enigmatic figure who carries the qualities of a cult leader, a character played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Girls, The Punisher) in the new, faux documentary style music video for the new single by Interpol.

The video was shot on-location in Mexico City in June during the band's new album announcement and livestream, directed by Gerardo Naranjo (Narcos, The Bridge). The character's appearance was a mystery for both the press and fans back then, but the creative vision behind the concept of The Rover comes to full fruition with the video's unveiling.

"I like to describe the video for The Rover as a prequel," says Paul Banks, and further explains: "It’s the origin story of the character described in the song, the birth of a cult leader. When we meet him he is partly unhinged. He’s a man on the verge, an artist subjected to great pressures, and beset with existential frustrations.  A distracted hipster who enjoys psychedelics, let’s say.

"The events that take place in Mexico City, be it a bump on the head, a visit to a shaman, or the influence of his rescuers (the street gang known as Los Locos) trigger the birth – the eruption – of this new figure, The Rover. His rescuers become his first followers.

"In the end of the video he exacts his ‘revenge’ on Interpol with a mischievous act of disruption during the press conference. He grabs me by the head – to save me? Forgive me? Or simply as a gesture of his new independence – the butterfly becoming."

Interpol's new album, Marauder, is due out August 24th, 2018 on Matador Records, and it finds the band working with producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Sleater-Kinney, MGMT) for the first time. The rocking energy of The Rover verifies the band being in currently in great shape, six albums and twenty years into their career.

If you believed Marilyn Manson put out the greatest recent tribute to the 1987 iconic horror film, The Lost Boys, think again.

Synthwave superstars, Gunship, return with a killer new single which prominently features the contribution of Tim Cappello himself, the impossible to miss in the movie sax man, blasting out the sax as impressively as he did more than thirty years ago. Dark Days also features British singer/songwriter, Indiana, on vocals

"Gunship's track, Dark All Day, is one of the funkiest tracks I've ever played on," says Cappello. "The groove is brooding and dark but there's so much passion and power to it, it moves so well, I couldn't stop dancing while I was playing on it."

The captivating music video which accompanies the song is inspired from, and created in the style of Japanese anime for the most part, only to switch into live action before its conclusion, depicting the band for the first time ever, alongside their guests, as they perform the track while blood rains down on them.

Dark All Day is part of Gunship's upcoming album of the same name, due out October 5th, 2018.

Perfect for this hot time of year, Richmond dreampop band, Young Scum, have just released their debut self-titled LP through Citrus City Records and Pretty Olivia Records. A long while in the making, the album came out carrying its eighties and nineties jangle and power pop influences with pride, impeccably produced and winsomely performed by the band.

After the wonderful, Wasting Time,  the second single off the album is Freak Out, a sentimental pop tune which like the rest of the record takes up the summery heat with a wistful eye, once more demonstrating Young Scum's remarkable songcrafting.
