British firebrand singer-songwriter Louise Distras will release her brand new single “Aileen” on the 30th of September 2016. The song will be Distras’ first new music since the release of her critically acclaimed 2013 debut album “Dreams from the Factory Floor”. Produced by “Dreams from the Factory Floor” producer Steve Whale (The Business) and mixed by Ross Petersen (Bruce Springsteen, The Vamps, John Mayer), “Aileen” represents real musical growth and a sonic shift for Louise, being an impassioned radio anthem that steps away from the punk and protest tags of her past and into powerpop territory. Nevertheless, the pop-friendly hooks house an intense emotional core. Lyrically “Aileen” is a hard-hitting dancefloor track that explores the dark story of ‘America’s first female serial killer’ Aileen Wuornos. It’s a song that sees Distras questioning rape culture and the sanctity of life. Having already been championed by Kerrang Radio, Radio X and Radio 1, 'Aileen' is living proof – if ever it was needed – that pop music does not have to mean ‘dumbed-down’ or ‘throwaway.’ Says Distras of “Aileen”: "One night after a show I watched the Nick Broomfield documentary 'Selling of a Serial Killer', which is about 'America's first female serial killer', Aileen Wuornos. As someone who has experienced homelessness and sexual assault, Aileen's story hit me pretty hard but left me feeling inspired to share it through my music. The film also left me with my own questions about rape culture and the idea of nature VS nurture, so I decided to make my own DIY film that explores the lyrical content of the single. It's called 'Real Outlaw – A Commentary on Rape Culture and the Riot Grrrl Movement' and it's available via scanning a QR code that's printed on the back of the CD and also on tour posters across the UK." “Aileen” and it's accompanying film will be released worldwide on 30th September 2016 digitally via iTunes and Amazon, or CD via Louise's official website.

Rock band Davey Suicide has released the Official Music Video for the debut single "Rise Above" off of their highly anticipated 3rd LP, entitled Made From Fire. Premiered on Alternative Press, "Rise Above" was directed, filmed, and edited by Justin Mark Morrison with the song co-production credits going to Charles Kallaghan and Needlz. "This song is a huge thank you to our fans who stood behind us with one unified voice over the last few years (especially over the last few weeks). This song, "Rise Above" captures the raw emotion of everything that we've been living through, and it's the first step toward our new future." - Davey Suicide Davey Suicide is cultivating the underground by fusing arena rock, gutter grit, sleaze and theatrics into their own brand of industrial rock. The band, which features Davey Suicide along with Drayven Davidson, Needlz, Niko Gemini, and Derek Obscura, distills heavy metal, industrial and punk into anthems that are as corrosive as they are catchy. Made From Fire is expected to be released sometime next year. Until then, "Rise Above" serves as a first taste of Davey Suicide's future and a thank-you to those who have supported them https://www.facebook.com/daveysuicide/ Kate Nash has returned to Zone 5 and with her she brings the Summer's finest pop offering 'Good Summer', produced by Dave Bassett and out today via Kate's own imprint Girl Gang Records. ‘Good Summer’ is literally the light at the end of the tunnel, an expression of relief, the type we all feel when the sun comes out and the warmth radiates your skin after 10 months of grey sky, central heating and soggy feet. “I’ve been a referee of my emotions,” sings Nash, over upbeat synths, skittering drums and dance-y guitar lines. It’s about her own return to contentedness in London. “In Britain, in the summer you let go of the stuff on your shoulders and go, Fuck it, I’m gonna get on this banana boat. Go crazyyyyy!’” The video for ‘Good Summer’, directed by Lee Jones and shot in her mum’s garden features all her best girl friends. A lot has happened to Nash, a BRIT school graduate, since the release of her #1 record and Brit-Award gleaning debut ‘Made Of Bricks’ back in 2007 - failed relationships, record label fall-outs, punk record releases, a relocation to the other side of the world... And so it’s wonderful that the singer-songwriter, activist and heroic spirit is here today, possessed of an impervious rebellion and a lightness of being that makes her ‘give-a-fuck?’ honesty even more contagious. Everything seems to be coming full circle.. London, UK based Hardcore / Punk Rock band Death Koolaid have released the Official Music Video for their newest single "Kids". This second track off of their upcoming Vol. 2 album, set to release 8/25/2016, was directed by Brendan Cleaves and filmed by Heath McWalters, and premiered on idobi.com. We wanted to make a video that was conceptually simple, but with a strong message – although we were keen not to completely spell it out for people. We try to make our videos as interesting as possible and this one is definitely our most out-there ideas; a bunch of terrified and bewildered children running away from what appears to be a backstreet place of worship. It’s basically a direct translation of our band’s philosophy, caricaturing the power of ideology, fear, and control. - Death Koolaid https://www.facebook.com/DeathKoolaid The groundbreaking rock band SIAMESE first stepped up to make a mark with their alternative, huge sound during 2012 with the release of their second album “Breathe:See:Move”, gathering positive reviews from around the world, including being lauded by Denmark’s biggest music magazine, GAFFA, as the country’s best rock album of the year. Three years later, after playing 150 concerts in ten different countries, hitting the Danish album charts at #6, and releasing the second album in both Japan and Europe, the band are in the process of creating what promises to be their best album to date. The first single ABLAZE hit stores in march and has already gained huge momentum with 1 million streams on all digital platforms. The second single Avaritia is a dark and twisted single working around the concept of greed. The award-winning and chart-topping Danish outfit SIAMESE have just inked a deal with UK based Daily Dischord Agency handling booking, whilst Tone MGMT (also UK) will deal with management in the EU. SIAMESE aren’t afraid to deal with the darker sides of life. With three successful albums in the bag, the band’s latest album will indulge in a new conceptual journey. In a world that is getting more and more transparent by the day, bigotry, racism and the ugly side of humanity in general rises to the fore. SIAMESE’s next album release, titled ‘SAGILIA’, strives to remind the listener of just how important the virtues of respect, dignity and perseverance are in current times. The band will go on tour in the UK in October alongside the emphatic FOES. https://www.facebook.com/sififi |
