The single, along with the band’s forthcoming 2015 EP, was recorded with renowned producer Tom Larkin (SHIHAD, Calling All Cars).

CARACOL VIDEO “SABRES” REMIX

A video acts as the final and centerpiece of the project. In one shot, it animates the illustrations to the flow of the music, effectively demonstrating the connection these pieces hold as one.

Scout’s musical foray started with the Baltimore based post-punk/country act, The Sterling Sisters.

NEW EP BY THE SMOKING BELLS
With a little something to please every audiophile in the room, The Smoking Bells’ sophomore EP, The Civil Service EP is where noise-rock and synth-filled pop melodies become one.
Over a year in the making, The Civil Service EP highlights frontman singer-songwriter Darius Byrne’s vocals while showcasing the band’s maturity on the bass and drums. The lead track Outrun sets the stage for a fun-filled EP that takes twists and turns along the spectrum of noise to pop sensibilities, tying it up with a neat little bow on the final track, Pug.
“When I started writing the songs for the Civil Service, I knew it would be a bit of a departure from the first EP we put out,” said Byrne. “We’ve been working together as a band now for over two years and I knew we were in a place and point in time where I could really push the complexity of the songwriting and be confident in our ability to delivery.”
Not loving this EP is the auditory equivalent of not loving pizza. And if you don’t love pizza, what kind of monster are you?

WILLIE NILE NEW ALBUM NEXT WEEK
In his three and a half decades as a recording artist, Willie Nile has earned a reputation as a fiercely committed rock ‘n’ roller, as well as a singular songwriter possessing a rare insight into human nature and an uncommon eye for emotional detail. It’s Nile’s introspective side that fuels If I Was A River, a deeply compelling ten-song collection that diverges from his usual sound, while affirming the remarkable melodic and lyrical skills that have long endeared the artist to his passionately loyal fan base.
In contrast to the rousing, guitar-based rock ‘n’ roll that’s been the focus of the dozen albums that he’s released since 1980, If I Was A River, which will be available on CD at live shows and at willienile.com, and as a digital download after November 11, features ten stirring original compositions on which Nile accompanies himself on piano, with sparse arrangements that keep the focus firmly on the songs and Nile’s deeply felt performances.

REAL OR FAKE: KICKSTARTER HALLOWEEN PRANK TURNS DEADLY
Steve Wolsh, WithAnO Productions, and the producers of MUCK wish to our fans to the families affected, as we attempt to seek more information about what occurred. Anchor Bay Entertainment, which will release MUCK in theaters next March, was in no way involved with the MUCK cast members depicted in the video. From the footage, it appears that a group of cast & crew plots to scare unsuspecting Halloweeners in an attempt to promote the Muck: Kickstarter. Utilizing the creature effects team from the MUCK films, they put an actor in full body makeup, when a neighborhood man, apparently not in on the gag, attacks the actor with a pitchfork – stabbing him through the rib cage.
