PENDANT (SADDLE CREEK) DROPS NEW VIDEO & SINGLE FROM UPCOMING LP
Los Angeles native Chris Adams who makes music under the moniker PENDANT (all caps) has dropped another song / video “Static Dream” from his forthcoming Saddle Creek debut Harp, available April 8th. Directed by Ramez Silyan (Lil Peep, The Neighbourhood, etc.) and starring Adams, the video is Trainspotting meets Terminator 2 (chase scene) soundtracked by a gripping mix of electronic pop and post-punk. Vocals are placed within the kinetic, brilliantly twisted soundscape like an additional instrument, always in service of Adams’ surreal and anti-gravitational world, a world brought to life by the video. He notes of the song “I wrote Static Dream after seeing my late father in my sleep one night. The dream was chaotic and sad but over the following day I felt a closeness to him I hadn’t felt since his passing. It felt like a new memory I was able to forge with him outside of space and time.”

Ottawa’s SINFUL WAYS New Lyric Video “Pursuit” ; New EP “Darkest Days” Out Now!
The band’s most adventurous song to date, “Pursuit” was originally written by guitarist Georgio Karapanos nearly a decade ago with all the orchestral arrangements composed for the EP that are featured at the beginning of the track before slamming into harmonized, sweep picking guitars. The song focuses on being in a dark place emotionally and mentally and finding the inner strength to find a positive way to heal.
SINFUL WAYS explore thrash, groove, and metalcore in new single “Pursuit”
The Ballroom Thieves continue to write and share music at a feverish pace. After a major car accident and the departure of a band member, the duo – Calin Peters (vocals, cello, bass), Martin Earley (vocals, guitar) – have found endless sources of inspiration. On July 15, the prolific pair will release Clouds, a lush meditation on longing to return to touring (“to see different sunsets, roads”), but also a reflection of its difficulties (insomnia brought on by sleeping in different hotel rooms every night).
