Will Clarke & Huxley Team Up For New 2-Track EP ‘Love Somebody’

We Are The Brave’s latest offering sees revered producers Will Clarke & Huxley join forces to deliver a deep, catchy techno monster. Primed with massive, penetrating drums, subterranean bass tones and an ear-worm vocal hook.

The racing drums will have you out of your seat in seconds and the fierce chord stabs intervene between the groove perfectly. Dashes of drum fills here and there and the expert use of effects and atmospherics round the track off to perfection.

THE FRONT BOTTOMS SHARE NEW SINGLE “CAMOUFLAGE”

The Front Bottoms’ Brian Sella and Mathew Uychich shared a note to fans alongside the new track explaining, “We spent a lot of the last year reflecting. There was a lot to think about, a lot to stress about, and a lot to be happy about. We feel lucky about it all, but it’s getting hard to separate real life and the music, or tell which parts even belong to us and which parts belong to you. That’s the best though. We retreated for a while, learned some stuff, then came back and learned some more. You definitely learn more when you’re around the people you love and the people you care about. We made new stuff, lots of art, all different kinds of stuff, some of which will hopefully never leave our heads. A meditation practice, breathing exercises… life is crazy. New song.”

GORILLA RIOT announce new album ‘PEACH’, Due In January 2020

The Riot’s frontman, Arjun Bhishma said, “After our last EP many people put us in the ‘Southern Rock’ bracket. With this record we wanted to show that, although that genre certainly is an influence, it is one of many. You will hear from the first second of the first song that this is not just a Southern Rock record, even if it has elements of that to it. This record takes inspiration from a broader set of genres, from classic rock to grunge with a base in the blues.
