Rev Rev Rev: new video + European tour
Clocking in at less than three minutes and set to visuals that are equally unsettling and apocalyptic, “3 not 3” is consumed from start to finish by primal percussion, thick distorted guitars and walls of feedback and distortion. All casting a dark menacing shadow through which, trying to break through, are Laura Iacuzio’s saccharine yet still somewhat foreboding vocals.

BISON MACHINE: The Obelisk Premieres Seas Of Titan Full-Length
“….their take on boogie rock is presented with an energy and an edge of its own … and though acts like Kadavar, Graveyard, and half the population of San Diego have cut their teeth on ’70s riffage over the last decade, the grit BISON MACHINE bring to the proceedings… is well on display throughout these songs.” – The Obelisk

Cryptozoologist Chris Orrick died last March. The Detroit vocalist with the same name woke up and read the news of his namesake’s death.

New Music Video From Black Bird Hum
Australia’s trippiest reggae fusion band Black Bird Hum is back with yet another video that makes you question all existence as we know it. Rebel Sound Records and Top Shelf Music are proud to announce the world video premiere for “All Hail The Market”, a track about the rat race and its effect on the human (or pig) psyche. “This little piggy went to the market”, indeed. In an animated video by Steven Subotnik, Black Bird Hum alludes quite conspicuously that we are indeed the little piggy that’s running amok here, there and everywhere. With an enlarged cartoon head cringing at the pig, chasing the pig, dissecting the pig upon apprehension, Black Bird Hum draws an obvious comparison to society’s obsession with material gain. We cannot escape consumerism; it’s angry that we would ever think to abandon it.

Neuland (Tangerine Dream’s Peter Baumann & Paul Haslinger) share “Moons Ago” via Brooklyn Vegan

After all, its core synth cadets — Peter Baumann and Paul Haslinger — first workshopped a record under a different name (Blue Room) nearly 30 years ago. Its promising sessions were ultimately shelved, but the project’s creative process firmly established their friendship and a fruitful dialogue that defies explanation.
New Release from Houston DIY Rock Band ‘Grifters & Shills’
“His was hard rock and heavy metal. Hers was the classic sound of the East Texas piney woods. Theirs was a fiery collision, bearing forth a sound that was at once novel and instantly familiar–nodding to roots seated deep in high lonesome harmonies and back porch blues, while peering out at a scorched path bound by modern assertions and contemporary commentary. This two-person, dozen-instrument act has become a sought-after artist in the Southeast Texas area, and provides a show full of sound and fury, punctuated with raw, quiet vulnerability. Come welcome them as they bring you back home.”
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN MUSLIMS AND AMERICANS – “FREE TRIP TO EGYPT”
The story behind it is so inspiring I would love to connect you with the filmmaker Tarek Manoub, a Canadian born Muslim who showcases how the transformational power of human connection can truly overcome any difference in culture, political view or religious belief.
About the film: 7 Americans are gifted a free 10 day trip to Egypt by the filmmaker and are paired with locals as diverse as themselves creating improbable, revealing, enlightening and life-changing connections that demonstrate the importance of communication between people. The film is an experiment in kindness, a heartwarming and unpredictable story that unfolds and proves what magic can occur when we connect at a human level in kindness instead of fear.
