SCALA MERCALLI Release New Video Dedicated To Anita!
Italian legendary heavy metallers SCALA MERCALLI, active since 1992, have released their new video dedicated to Anita (Ana Maria de Jesus Ribeiro da Silva) on March 26, the anniversary of the wedding with Giuseppe Garibaldi in Montevideo in 1842.
A man with whom she shared not only a great love, but also her battles for freedom both in Latin America and in Italy, until the day in which she died in his arms because of a strong fever, at the age of 28, after having given birth to three children and pregnant with the 4th, and chased by the foreign armies that occupied the peninsula in 1849.
Unaware that our country obtained freedom and unity 12 years later, and that monuments were erected in her memory both in Italy and in Brazil, her homeland.
Bess Atwell returns with the beautifully rich new track ‘Time Comes in Roses’ out today via Real Kind Records
Much like her work to date, ‘Time Comes in Roses’ sees her take the conventional acoustic / singer-songwriter aesthetic and transform it into something far more enticing throughout. Adding just a touch of atmosphere around her sensational voice, her latest swoon is a wonderfully warm and inviting return that sees her grow further into her heartfelt and passionate guise.
Francis Lung (Memphis Industries, ex-Wu Lyf) | Shares “Lonesome No More”

Nookie Drops His First Single on Metalheadz
The Rage mix of ‘Kaeya’ has already received support from radio icon Pete Tong as his ‘Essential New Tune’ which sets the standard for this release. With deep, heavy sub bass and pounding kick drums skipping underneath the track, softened slightly by its vocals this is a formidable record which speaks of the current climate and proof that club-orientated tracks are still having a seismic effect on listeners. The D&B mix flips the tempo, dipping between each note sequence with a lulling sense of security, meanwhile closing the single is its ’96 rework, standing out through its rolling breaks and reminiscent feel.

Sunny Bones have released their brand new single ‘Echoes Of You’, a charming blend of dream pop, Americana and indie examining the complex feelings of love.
Regarding the single singer Helen Anderson says, “‘Echoes of You’ is about that feeling you get when you’re in a new happy relationship, but the memories of your ex creep in and haunt you, which make you confused and question your feelings. Love is a complex subject and can rear its head when you least expect it or at times of vulnerability, often distorting facts and memories to suit a narrative that you prefer as to the reality.”
