FILTER IN STUDIO TO RECORD 7TH STUDIO ALBUM
Filter announces plans to reenter studio and record their 7th studio album. Richard Patrick will be reunited with producer/mixer Ben Gross (Short Bus, Title of Record, The Amalgamut), and is collaborating on songs with former Filter co-writer Brian Leisgang as well as newcomer guitarist Oumi Kapilia.
Of the new album, Patrick says: “I’m headed in a new direction. More stripped down industrial sound. Keeping things moving but a way more “fuck it” approach. Just like short bus although it won’t sound like short bus bt it will sound like filter.”

MOTORAMA TO RELEASE ‘POVERTY’ ON MARCH 10, 2015
Russias Motorama will release their third album, Poverty on March 10 via eccentric French label Talitres. Uncannily, for a band from a southern port near the Ukraine border, Motorama resemble a bunch of New Yorkers emulating the sound of 80s Manchester, says the BBC. It would be preposterous if the result didnt sound so sublime.
Prior to their second full-length, Calendar (2012), Motorama was a wonderfully kept secret. From the port city of Rostov-on-Don, Southern Russia, the band was producing a Manchester-inspired cold wave of icy and hypnotic post-punk. Icy but not frozen, hypnotic but awake. Before long, their compositions improved in clarity, lyricism and assurance: the prominent rock of their first recordings now opening its doors to romantic and melodic pop.

“I first played for ‘Conan’ when I Hope You Dance was out, and he’s always been a man who take the music so very seriously,” Womack says. “There are a few shows where you can really tell that the music matters, so getting to play for him and his audience fires me up. Not to mention, that’s the perfect hour for this kind of song.”

JAY BROWN REVEALS NEW SINGLE ‘GREEN’
Northampton-born singer/songwriter Jay Brown returns today with her new single ‘Green’ – which comes off her forthcoming EP ‘My Name Is Her’ – set for release on Turn First Records on 23rd February.
Born into a huge musical family, growing up singing in gospel church and spending her teenage years fronting a rock band for which she wrote all the songs, Jay took her time to realise that her future lay in music. Football was her first passion – she played for her county, spent weekends watching Newcastle and her earliest ambition, she cringingly admits, was to be the first female player in the Premier League.
