Coming alongside a very expressive video filmed in quarantine, Total Total Damage is the newest single released off Perception is/as/of Deception, the anticipated next album by Adult. incoming April 10th, 2020 through Dais Records.

The new clip was filmed and edited by Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller themselves, and it depicts them destroying the set they built with their own hands at their own place in Detroit, MI, coming across totally paralleled to the lively track's raw energy and its darkwave bitterness, as well as to the rest of the coming album's revolutionist spirit.

23 years into their career, Adult. do not show any signs of slowing down, instead they're emerging creative as ever, and eager to point out their message, and fully harness their ideas.

Heavenly Rhythms for the Uninitiated is the much anticipated debut album by Virginia-based post punk five-piece, True Body, just released through Funeral Party. The album was preceded by three wonderful dark singles, all of which show the band's big range and broad-mindedness, with the gothic pop enchanter, Youth Hotel, being the latest.

Going way beyond the mere confines of the post punk genre to include elements from shoegaze, punk and dreampop, True Body's well made album bears the markings of its influences and its kind's copious background with pride and veneration, while the band appears more than capable to prosper as one the most braced fresh voices of their class.

True Body's sound is acute, but doesn't reinvent the wheel, still, the solidity of their songwriting, the stylistic eloquence, the band's keenness on what they do and their ability to excel and excite with their performances, put them head and shoulders above the genre's norms, and constitute something very much intact that demands attention.

True Body are comprised of Isabella Moreno-Riaño (vocals), Sam Ramos (drums), Kevin Painter (guitar), Hector Castro (guitar), and Nate Byrum (bass).

Relatively new band, Yellow Dudes, followed their debut release, Backstage Escenario EP, from 2018, with a solid new EP released in the Fall 2019. Parking Spot EP continues the band's vision for exquisite and delicate dreampop and shoegaze sounds through alluring vocal harmonies, atmospheric instrumentals, and distinguishable elements from surf and garage rock.

Yellow Dudes hail from Tepic, Nayarit, México, and they're comprised of childhood friends Carlos (guitar/bass) and Ramón (guitar), together with Mario (guitar, bass), Ramsés (drums) and Columba (vocals).

A dreampop charmer, the firm, three-minute cut, There's a Lot of Things, is only one of the EP's standout pieces, and a strong depiction of the quintet's great ear for a lush, airy and gazey sound.

New extreme metal band Umbra Vitae arise composed of a reputable lineup of accomplished musicians, including Coverge's Jacob Bannon, his bandmates in Wear Your Wounds Sean Martin and Mike Mckenzie, as well as Greg Weeks of The Red Chord and Labor Hex, and Jon Rice of Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats and Job For A Cowboy. Return To Zero is an intense hardcore/death metal assault that makes the band's first single and introduces their coming ten-song LP, Shadow of Life, arriving May 1st, 2020 through Deathwish.

The newfangled group borrows its name from the Georg Heym poem of the same name from 1913. Jacob Bannon comments: "After reading the piece from Heym, I immediately felt connected to it. Later, while working on the previous Wear Your Wounds album, my love for Death Metal was rekindled. This was likely a reaction to working on non-aggressive music for such a concentrated period. As these songs started to form, the ominous nature of that original poem came to mind. In many ways it embodied the character of what we were all creating together. For me, Umbra Vitae is darkly confrontational and my own internal struggles are nested within each song. At this point in my life it is of the utmost importance to use this art and music as the vehicle for a healthy purge of emotion. By design, even in something this intense, there is righteous intent to be a better human through the process of creating it."

Shadow of Life was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, with guitars and bass recorded by McKenzie at The Black Coast.

Still pretty dark but more psychedelic bent than their previous single, Alphas, British four-piece, Wax Heart Sodality reveal Hoodwinked, their second single which once again comes produced by friend of the band and singer/guitarist for Mouses, Steven Bardgett.

Evoking the agelessness of classic psych rock, the gloom of post punk and the frankness of the blues, the band's new song becomes a solid sophomore release which keeps up with the their provocative spirit, primarily through the very well crafted lyrics. Hoodwinked makes a valid and very much sophisticated argument, aimed at the deceived and those who don't ruminate on what contributes to the formation of their opinions and ideas, while musically it fascinates, presenting WHS's potency and aptitude for the second time in a row.
