WARLUNG: join the “Order of the Solar Temple” with their infectious new track!
Houston riff rockers WARLUNG unveil the third single taken from their upcoming full-length “Optical Delusions”, out on October 9th on Heavy Psych Sounds.
The Texas four piece brilliantly meld NWOBHM influences, modern heavy and picturesque horror themes without ever sounding dramatic or pompous. Might they be the 2.0 offsprings of Ozzy Osbourne, Rush and Pink Floyd? Their sense of storytelling and invigorating riff rock driven by George Baba and Philip Bennett’s massive hooks and catchy vocals will definitely win over fans of Ghost, Uncle Acid, The Order Of Israfel. You’re a click away from ultimate metal satisfaction…

“We’ve been playing around with this classic tale of betrayal and revenge before but it was always put on hold. Not this time. The poetry is breathtaking, it doesn’t get much starker than this.
“Musically, for us, this is one of the most satisfying songs we’ve done. With Garmarna, there is always a riddle. An escape room. We’re trapped until we solve the puzzle. Here, it started with an original idea of ours blended with a traditional melody and in an hour we transformed a whole bunch of ideas into a melody that just flows.

Today, Plants and Animals are releasing a brand new single and video for “Love That Boy,” an intimate song created out of childhood memories and reflection about the constant evolution of family. The Jungle, their fifth studio album, is set to be released on October 23rd via Secret City Records.
Warren shares the inspiration behind the song: “It’s a song about my family, present and past, but it feels more like a meditation. I was upset, frustrated and feeling like no one knew me—the kid me, the me I still feel I am. And then writing the song chilled me out and put me right. It was a way to connect with my dead parents and with my new life as a dad, and to give everyone a proper hug.”

Mima Good Single & Album Announcement: “Hydra”
Hydra is an intensely empowering title track.The pounding, distorted kick and swinging organ transport the listener somewhere between an underground darkwave club in Berlin and a slow cabaret night on the Lower East Side.

Heather Porcaro shares new single “OH NO!”
Heather Porcaro, a multi-talented artist, musician, and songwriter from Los Angeles shares her new single “OH NO!” today. “OH NO!” sets a weighted message to an ironically feel good beat, planting nostalgia and lightened perspective among “these deep, dark times,” we are currently undergoing. The track was inspired by a Boogie Woogie piano lesson Porcaro had with country singer-songwriter Billy Swan, best known for his 1974 single “I Can Help.” The melody of “OH NO!” is in reference to the carefree pop of the 50s and 60s generation. When 2020 began to sour increasingly by the day, Porcaro returned to the song for it’s timely chorus and title. She reached out to longtime friend Ben Ford of the Nash-ville band Airpark, who responded with lyrics that felt to Porcaro surprisingly like herself, “like he was inside my head.”The track also features production and instrumentals from both Tim Young (guitarist, The Late Show with James Corden), and Scott Seiver (touring drummer, producer, film composer). In spite of having come to fruition amidst a global pandemic, the single is the artist’s most collaborative work to date. “OH NO!” celebrates music’s ability to transcend geographical barriers and channel the bizarre-yet-commonly shared experiences of today.
