BLACK TARPOON are set to release their new album Probable Caws on October 31st 2021.

With Jesse James (acoustic guitar/lead vocals) and Oatmeal Reed (bass/dirty vocals) at the helm, BLACK TARPOON tells tales of loss, addiction, and so-called hillbilly life. Jesse and Oatmeal are joined by Jesse’s wife and Oatmeal’s sister Tashia The Don on washboard/backing vocals, Jesse’s father Billy Mo on lead guitar/backing vox, Scooby Davidson on fiddle and family friend Chi Chi Picante on drums. The band says of their tongue-in-cheek name, “We assure you it’s not slang for a woman’s private parts. We use the word ‘poon’ as in a foolish person. The name is basically an anti-heroin reference. We’ve had loved ones pass away due to heroin overdose… Heroin can make the best of us fools.”

BLACK TARPOON was founded by Jesse and Oatmeal in 2014, and they released their Creature from the Black TarPoon EP shortly thereafter. That was followed by the A Macing Graze full-length in 2017, the Blacked Out at Muddy Roots split 7″ in 2019, and The Thad EP in 2020. They’ve performed at festivals across the country, including Muddy Roots Music Festival in Tennessee, Folk Shit Up Music Festival and Dave TV in Texas, and the Moonrunners Music Festival in Chicago. A force in their local scene, the band has also helped revive the roots and folk punk scene in southern Texas.

With their wry lyrics, skillful songwriting, and an authentic dose of South Texas grit, BLACK TARPOON is a band to watch.

SCATTERED HAMLET RELEASE NEW VIDEO

AKIAVEL RELEASE NEW VIDEO

French death metal masters AKIAVEL have unleashed a video for their song “Lady of Death”. The track is taken from their critically acclaimed album Væ Victis which was released in April.

Frontwoman Aure comments: “Lady of Death” is a song about Aileen Wuornos. I absolutely wanted to put her on our album because I find her fascinating. I have studied her story a lot, I have a lot of compassion for her despite the fact that she has murdered people. That’s why the text isn’t very violent or bloody, it’s more based on how she feels. She had a lot of suffering in her.
For the video clip we got closer to her psychological state. That’s why we chose the actress who clearly embodied her conscience and the struggle within her.”

The video has premiered simultaneously at several outlets worldwide.

Curt Barlage | So Long Cecilia Music Video | Music Video Release

On his first, official solo endeavor, Los Angeles, California native Curt Barlage, has taken a departure from any specified genre that may be pinpointed in his previous musical collaborations (The Bixby Knolls, Strange Phases, Red Hearts White Ribbons, Murci) and has essentially put the influences in an all-encompassing, aural blender with his debut single ‘So Long Cecilia’. This song is a melodic mish-mosh that confidently displays the passion Curt holds for a wide varied and time spanning sound he has cultivated throughout the eras of his musical adventures. There’s a very organic, classic Americana vibe a la Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, but drenched in the ‘wall of sound’ technique from the shoegaze and psych template that could be heard with modern classic UK artists such as Slowdive and Spiritualized all in a broken, black-hearted lyrical reflection of love dissolved into confusion, suffering, and acceptance. A story we can all relate to, projected in a very vulnerable tale channeled through this sonically expansive ballad.

WILDERNESS HYMNAL and DUNCAN EVANS RELEASE COLLABORATIVE SONG
