Brooklyn experimental rockers Cyphered Threads share fiery new video for “Gallop”
The video premiered on Songwriting Magazine where the project’s Kika Von Kluck shared, “Based on the concept of ‘dominator and partnership cultures,’ the co-opted model image of the white horse flying into the sun relates to a self-destructive, obstinate quest. It represents the idea that power’s fire can be blinding and destructive, not only for the individual but also for everything around him”
The Yorks Shimmer with ‘Parking Lots’
The steady drums and walking bass line, in combination with sweeping wind-chime guitar chords help to paint the picture of an empty parking lot extending into the still hours past midnight. A staccato vocal arrangement dances around the falsetto layers to extend those hours into the infant light of the morning, complete with buzzing, flickering street lights.
OVERDOSE SUPPORT: Finnish Noise Rock Outfit To Release Try Dying Debut LP

The band and label have partnered with New Noise Magazine to unveil the album’s first single, “Healthy Self-Love,” as preorders and album details are issued.
OVERDOSE SUPPORT was forged by a crew of musicians who also share their time in Dark Buddha Rising, Sokea Piste, Baxter Stockman, Katakombi, and other acts. Within this belligerent sect, the members coalesce their energy into a hammering blend of noise rock obsessed with the ills of society and the self. No stone will be left unturned to discover the seediest filth and imaginative form of self-abuse out there, all the while maintaining a steady rock’n’roll groove only disturbed by razor sharp electronics.
SAVAK ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ‘CUT-UPS’
Cut-Ups was produced by the band and Geoff Sanoff (Nada Surf, Luna, Jets To Brazil) at Renegade Studios in New York City with additional recording done by the band at their Brooklyn practice space and homes. This is an album for listeners who don’t seek authenticity, but intuitively know it when they hear it; for people who are interested in language and sound. This is not lifestyle marketing. This is not going to cover your bald spot or shrink your waistband. This is not this year’s model. Or last year’s model dressed up as tomorrow’s hope. This is the sound of four adult men in Brooklyn, New York, sharing their world as they see it. They are not afraid to write about politics or personal failings. They are not afraid to celebrate love. Or yearn for a better world. They may be cut up, but they are here to stay.

King Cardinal Announce Debut Record ‘Great Lakes’ Due Out Sept. 29
“I moved to Denver on a whim,” says King Cardinal founder Brennan Mackey. “I’d been living in Chicago, working a finance job that I didn’t love, and I knew exactly what the rest of my life would look like if I stayed there. I decided I wanted to throw everything up in the air and see where it landed.”
It makes sense, then, that the cover of King Cardinal’s stellar debut album, Great Lakes, depicts a man catapulting himself headlong into the unknown, trading safety and security for adventure and excitement as he leaps over a protective railing. If the record is any indication, Mackey’s own bold leaps have paid off in spades. Pushing raw roots rock into lush, sonically daring territory with hints of cosmic country and delicate folk, Great Lakes showcases the five-piece group’s exceptional musicianship and the powerful emotional depth of the vocal interplay between Mackey and fellow singer Texanna Dennie.

Chris Staples shares a new song, “Spinning Wheel”
A note from Chris Staples: “I’m doing close to 30 living room shows this summer, as well as a few clubs. I love playing house shows. It’s such a great environment for live music. It’s the most personal a show you can get. It’s strange and wonderful, to meet a group of strangers and a few hours later leave as friends. Tickets are pre-sale only and are limited to 35-50 people.”
“I’m turning my van into a camper and staying in national parks along the way. My plan is to see some beautiful country and write some songs about it. Our politics are obviously in great turmoil, but the land and the people are what I love about this country, and I’m hoping I will feel reconnected to that through this trip.”
Ever Heard Of Ruby Fray?
Based out of Chicago, Illinois, singer and song crafter Emily Beanblossom took on the name Ruby Fray in 2011 as a moniker for her solo work apart from her other collaborative endeavors. Beanblossom was active in the Olympia scene in bands like Georgy, Legs the Crab, Karczol, and others, but was best known as the frontwoman for the raucous noise rock band Christmas.
Following extensive U.S. tours with Christmas, the singer retreated for a time to her family farm and began work on the darker, more organic sounds that would become Ruby Fray. Between gigs with Christmas and her fledgling business as a soap maker, she began performing stripped-down solo shows with these new songs.

Noah Engel’s new album ‘Rock Soup’
“I wrote “Rock Cinema” at around 11AM on a Tuesday while playing hookie from work. Since moving back into my parents house, it was hard to make lots of noise without getting yelled at, so I waited until after they all left for work, and started screeching feedback loops and junk in my bedroom, out of aggression possibly, or maybe boredom, until something crazy started happening.” – Noah Engel on writing “Rock Cinema” to Spill Magazine.
