Beltfed Weapon Drops “Head First Into Hell” Single
Frank Hetzel explains”‘Head First Into Hell’ emerged from a side project idea with my friend Dagna Silesia who plays bass. She wrote half the riffs and I added my ideas and structured it out. The side project didn’t happen, but I felt this song, ‘Head First Into Hell’ was very good and wanted to add it to the upcoming EP. I then reached out to Tim Aymar, as I really love his vocals, and asked him if he would be interested in doing vocals and he was on board, and Kragen and Bryan were on board as well. It is a honor to have all involved, not only on this song but the whole EP!”
“Like most artists, I tried to hunker down and write as much music as I could during the start of the pandemic. I’m already a bit of a homebody, so I embraced the beginning of lockdown with open arms. I wrote enough tracks to create a few different projects aside from Karaboudjan, which tends to be a recurring creative issue of mine. I even contemplated releasing a new project/EP instead of these singles, but I really felt that the concept of Karaboudjan wasn’t finished quite yet. It’s like I’m still figuring it out as I go.

INTRODUCING NOTFORTHEO – LISTEN TO DEBUT SINGLE “JUST A LITTLE BIT”
Co-produced by CAMP.30, “just a little bit,” is an easy groove, synth-pop offering, imbued with a hazy psych-driven ether. Beyond the vibrant overtones, however, lies a darker, more profound message revolving around the bands’ struggles with circumstances brought about by the global pandemic. More specifically, the band is attempting to draw attention to the addiction, psychosis, and technology burnout found at alarming rates among today’s youth. The accompanying visual, a lo-fi offering portraying a young group’s travels through a tropical country, captures the unsettling feeling of alienated self-indulgence that underlies the group’s music. On the track’s message, the band note ”(the song is a powerful declaration of entering a hedonistic lifestyle to combat the mundane loneliness of days spent in isolation during the pandemic.”

AUGUST 08 shares new visual “Minivan”; Releases new album Seasick
SEASICK takes listeners through a thematic arc tracking the emotional journey that comes with a relationship’s demise. Through every phase along the way, August employs his delicately powerful tenor and spurts of wounded falsetto to make music that feels deeply vulnerable. He distills tender memories of fractured romance and coming-of-age trauma through a glittering, shapeshifting mix of sounds that include dreamy folk, lush R&B, simmering rock, and otherworldly experiments that defy categorization altogether.
