BILLY SHERWOOD’S NEW MUSIC VIDEO “NO MAN’S LAND” ON OCTOBER 6
In “No Man’s Land,” the Runner sees his buddies die, and, as the video progresses, seems to be walking more and more in a daze. Billy says, “You get the idea that he’s the only guy who walked away from the battle.”
Billy used three distinct sources for footage in “No Man’s Land”: 1) archival footage from World War I, 2) a cameraman taping him up-close and facing front in a brightly-lit room, 3) modern day footage of a tall and powerful looking young man being the runner. “That is David Hussey,” explains Billy. “He’s in the prog band XNA which I produced/recorded. We shot the footage in the desert behind my house.”

SAM JAMES RELEASE “WORDS TO LIFE” HITS THE CHARTS
The Sam James release “Words To Life” has enjoyed strong sales week one in front of his long anticipated debut EP which will be issued in early 2016. On September 28, the lead track hit all digital retailers globally, and has sat solidly in the Top 20 at iTunes all week.
James is an American original, deeply committed to expressing stories of his life through the power of lyrics. These songs are the offspring of his love of Folk Music, and the impact that inspiration has had on his focus to reflect the last two years of his journey. He openly articulates that following repeated trial and error, he has found himself and is keenly aware that determination yielded a true sense of originality. His surroundings, and life as a hometown boy from Worcester, MA has shaped him as a man. The industrial economy, and its hard working local populace, have had an impact on his drive to leave it all out on the stage during every live performance, with his intent to stage great concerts that inspire those in attendance to relate to the lyrics and emotion of the work.

FREAKANGEL LIVE ALBUM LAUNCH ON BANDCAMP & YOUTUBE
It’s not too often that industrial bands release live albums, let alone full blown live videos. But Freakangel is one of those exceptions. Recorded during their extended “The Ones To Fall” tour last winter, they have just released the 11-track counting live download album “The Show Of Violence” via Bandcamp and several other download stores.
The live album acts as a closing chapter for the band’s 3 first albums (plus multiple EP releases) before returning with a next full length studio album in 2016. Unlike many other industrial bands, what you get live from Freakangel is quite different from the studio versions. “The Show Of Violence” therefor gives you the opportunity to rediscover the band’s discography in alternative live versions.

THE OH HELLOS’ “EXEUNT” LIVE VIDEO
Dear Wormwood, due October 16 and distributed through Elektra Records, is receiving early critical acclaim with NPR Music, who hails, “Their instrumentation and singing are exuberant, just this side of ecstatic…” while Under the Gun Review furthers, “The Oh Hellos’ sense of melody is refreshingly organic and truly untouchable, due heavily in part to both members’ staggering vocal abilities. Their huge walls of eclectically layered instrumentation, which should overwhelm by all accounts, are so alluring; they simply embrace your psyche, leaving you no choice but to surrender to the comfort because nothing else compares.”
