Last Heroes Unveil Melodic Reimagination to Crywolf’s “ATHETOSIS”
“We decided to approach the “ATHETOSIS” remix differently than we normally do – Crywolf’s unique sound really pushed us to experiment with a different style while sticking to the “Last Heroes” sound. “ATHETOSIS” was a great first track to Crywolf’s album, so we were excited to see what we could do with it!” – Last Heroes

SOCIAL ACTIVISM DURING WOODSTOCK’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND CELEBRATIONS
The Woodstock festival in 1969 had an indelible impact on scores of people and led many to become social activists. Woodstock alumnus Steve Gold feels that spirit of working to help others and improve the world should be front and center at the events marking the concert’s 50th anniversary. To that end, he’s using the original Woodstock stage to rally people for common sense gun control.
“I want my generation and younger generations to learn from the lessons of Woodstock that we have the ability to make change happen,” says Gold, co-founder of Peace of Stage which owns the original Woodstock stage. “The stage is a physical reminder of the concert, and we are turning it into a platform to call for gun sale background checks and a Red Flag law. It’s time to awaken the spirit of Woodstock.”
‘Make You Laugh’ is the debut single from Bristolian slacker punk band DROOGS. A loser love song from an anti hero’s perspective, lead singer Joe confesses that he “Can’t buy you a house, but the room in my mum’s house is lovely” and “I can’t take you to a posh restaurant but McDonald’s do amazing deal’s” all delivered with expert comic timing and Pil era John Lydon sarcasm set to a hook-laden, grinding rhythm laid down by Sam Taylor (drums) and Ben Fisher (bass).

SPEELBURG RELEASES “SAY HELLO” AS HEARD ON THE GOOGLE PIXEL 4 ANNOUNCEMENT
“I once made a mixtape on a mini disc called ‘Songs To Walk Into A Room To,’ says Speelburg, “the idea being, if you were to walk into a room, what would be the best movie moment soundtrack – all songs with the same explosive nature as Kool And The Gang’s ‘Jungle Boogie’ or John Williams’ ‘Duel Of The Fates’ (from Star Wars Episode I). ‘Say Hello’ attempts to outdo all of those.” When asked about the song being used in the Google Pixel ad, Speelburg said, “as someone who spends a lot of time watching Bradley Cooper interviews on youtube, I’m glad the song in the sponsored ad is something I recognize.”

Comethazine Lays Down “50 Bars” in a Breathless 99 Seconds
Rhyming with a snarly intensity, Comethazine is an endless source of pure evil bars. Stepping up his game for his latest lyrical exercise, Comethazine shares “50 Bars,” a new single. Slowly picking up steam atop a minimal, bass-heavy beat, the Alamo Records signee isn’t bragging–he’s just speaking facts: “Yeah I bought me a jet, but got no one to fly that shit/Think that he fly but he know I’m the flyest in/Binoculars, I ain’t seen nobody fly as this.” Released on his SoundCloud, “50 Bars” follows recent videos for “ACT” and “FIND HIM!”
