Terror Empire reveal new song“You’ll Never See Us Coming”

Portuguese thrashers Terror Empire have just unveiled a new song off the new album “Obscurity Rising”. The song is called “You’ll Never See Us Coming” and it’s the album opener, right after the intro. It’s the third song to be released, after “Burn the Flags” and “Times of War”.

“The lyrics are about a massive rebellion, a full-on take over of something by total surprise”, says the lyricist for the song, Rui Alexandre. “You see, when things become stagnant, people in control tend to think it will remain like that forever. But if you keep pushing the wrong buttons with those you try to control, you’ve got another thing coming. This song’s about that. Picture a village burning, a permanent state of unrest, full-blown-chaos.”

THE DESERT ‘JUST GET HIGH’

The Desert is a collaboration between singer-songwriter Gina Leonard and guitarist & producer Tom Fryer. Tom’s atmospheric production style which plays with big spaces and other worldly sounds, lives in the space between Gina’s honest and poetic lyrics, allowing her songs to shine that little bit brighter.

The pair first met at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2014 where Gina played a set for The People’s Front Room, a collective that Tom is a part of. Tom went on to record and produce a few of Gina’s tracks, however it wasn’t until late 2016 that The Desert officially came together to write and record their first collection of songs.

LEWIS CAPALDI PERFORM HIS NEW TRACK “LOST ON YOU” (LIVE)

Americana singer-songwriter Hope Dunbar to release “Three Black Crows” in October

Nebraska-based Americana-country-folk singer-songwriter Hope Dunbar is set to release her new album, Three Black Crows, on October 6, 2017. Produced by Emily White, the album was recorded at Little School Street Studio in Chicago, with Rachael Moore assuming mixing duties in Nashville. The album is a masterful overlay of gentle acoustic textures, emotional turbulence, and philosophical insight. Dunbar is a pioneer of the New American Prairie Style – the incarnation of Americana and country-folk that is staking claim under a big sky, shouting at the north wind, and digging in and refusing to leave.

“These songs are more honest than what I’ve done in the past,” Dunbar says. “They’re based on real-life people I see every day. In a small town, you get real close to your neighbors. You hear about moms and dads who lost a son you didn’t even know they had because you weren’t there when they died. Their loss will never go away but they’re living with it. They keep going because they have to. If anybody needs a song, it’s these people.”
