Australian pop punk duo 3REE have released a performance video for their new single ‘Set This Place On Fire’, which features guest vocals from Sleeping With Sirens frontman Kellin Quinn. The high energy rock track tackles the pressures of 2022 and the increasing strains on identity, belonging and on longevity of life on the planet. ‘Set This Place On Fire’ finds 3REE bringing their pop laced hooks with hardcore beatdowns to complement the signature alt-metal screaming from Sleeping With Sirens’ Kellin Quinn. Since its release last month, ‘Set This Place On Fire’ has received huge acclaim with the likes of Rock Sound touting it as, “A riotous anthem… dripping in mountain high melodies, soaring riffs and plenty of gritty atmosphere,” while Kerrang championed the track in the Top 10 of their Kerrang Chart. The track has also proved a TikTok hit, with fans creating viral videos sound tracked to the song’s opening bars. About the meaning of the song 3REE vocalist and guitarist Mitch Volcan says:- “We built the song around the lyric ‘When the fire burns out we all come alive’; writing with the aim of connecting with the listener with the sense of rawness, energy and togetherness that you face during dark times.” The duo is completed by drummer Sean Tighe and since the band’s formation in 2019, with the release of their self-titled debut album that year, they have been quick to draw attention from further high profile names in rock. They are managed and mentored by iconic pop punk manager Rick DeVoe, who managed Blink 182 for over 20 years and has worked with New Found Glory, Angels & Airwaves and more. 3REE have also caught the eye of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz and former Panic! At The Disco drummer Spencer Smith. The attention came via a mashup of the band’s tracks 3REE posted on their Instagram, which impressed Pete and Spencer so much it prompted them to reach out to 3REE. A relationship sparked and Pete and Spencer both now also help mentor the Aussie pop punks. 3REE have made a huge statement with ‘Set This Place On Fire’ and the future burns bright for the pair as they gear up for more exciting announcements to follow in 2022. Fresh from making their critically acclaimed live debuts at Australian festivals UNIFY Gathering and Groovin' The Moo and polishing off their biggest ever national headlining tour, Eora / Sydney alt-rock force RedHook have returned with their most gut-wrenching single to date, ‘Jabberwocky’, produced by Stevie Knight (Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly) and mixed by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore). Listen to Jabberwocky HERE / Click to stream 'Jabberwocky' / Click to pre-save ‘Jabberwocky’ is an intensely personal song that addresses vocalist Emmy Mack’s experience of being sexually assaulted while on RedHook’s first ever overseas tour. Using the metaphor of the Jabberwocky (a fictional monster from the Alice In Wonderland mythos which in the Irwin Allen film adaptation Alice is ultimately able to vanquish by convincing herself it doesn’t exist) the song centres on Emmy’s coping process of denying her own trauma and the monster who inflicted it in order to effectively “go on with the show”. Menacing guitars and frenetic synths charge beneath Mack’s powerful vocals, building into a psychotic dubstep-inspired breakdown before the vulnerable chorus lyrics take centre stage. Emmy explains the inspiration behind the track: “As difficult as this song was to write, I felt like it was something I had to do. One of the main ways I cope when horrible things happen in life is by listening to music. But when this happened to me, for the very first time, I couldn’t find a song that resonated with what I was going through. Isn’t it strange that we’ve heard so many stories about high-profile male predators in the heavy music space over the past few years, and yet there are so few songs in the genre that deal with sexual assault itself from a female perspective? I really wanted to help change that.” RedHook will support the release of ‘Jabberwocky’ with their second ever tour of Europe in June, including their debut appearance at one of the world’s most iconic rock festivals Rock AM Ring / Rock Im Park alongside the likes of Green Day, Muse, Weezer, Turnstile, Gang Of Youths & Spiritbox, as well as multiple dates supporting The Faim throughout the UK, followed by a 28-date, three-month-long regional tour of Australia as main support for In Hearts Wake, and an appearance at Sydney All Ages festival Shoreshocked alongside Beddy Rays and The Rions. This continues on from a freshly completed national ‘Bring Ya Mates’ tour with The Dead Love and appearances at UNIFY Gathering, Groovin’ The Moo and Halloween Hysteria. The band have previously sold-out national tours and performed at festivals Download (UK), Download (AUS), Good Things, BIGSOUND and Stonefest. 2021 saw RedHook release their long-awaited debut EP ‘Bad Decisions’ which has ticked over 7 million Spotify streams and earned praise from Kerrang! (UK), Rock Sound (UK), Rolling Stone (AUS), Hysteria Magazine and has been nominated for AIR's Independent Music Awards 2022, with multiple video clips being added to rotation on ABC’s Rage. Lead single ‘Bad Decisions’ has also clocked 5 million Spotify streams and has just been announced as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition and featured on Spotify’s ‘The Best Of The Rock List 2021’ alongside huge songs by Machine Gun Kelly, YUNGBLUD & more. Previous singles have been added to rotation on triple j, along with further radio support from SiriusXM (USA), Kerrang! Radio (UK), triple j Unearthed, The Faction, 4ZZZ and Aussie Music Weekly. ‘Jabberwocky’ is available worldwide now Australian four-piece rock band The Faim released their high energy, celebratory track “ERA,” produced by Grammy-Nominated Producer/ Songwriter Matthew Pauling (Palaye Royale, 5 Seconds of Summer, State Champs), via BMG. The anthemic track features Josh Raven’s powerhouse vocals touching on themes of nostalgia and celebration, backed by the band’s harmonious performance. Listen HERE. “‘ERA’ is about closing one chapter of your life, and beginning the next,” comments bassist and keyboardist Stephen Beerkens. “Reminiscent of our own journeys up until this point, the song touches on the trials and tribulations we face every day, as well as the aspects in our lives we’re grateful for.” The track follows previously released adrenaline-charged “The Hills” which was picked as a 'Future Artist' with Jack Saunders on Radio 1 and driving pop-rock anthem “Ease My Mind,” all taken from the band’s forthcoming sophomore album, to be announced later in 2022. LISTEN TO “ERA” NOW The Faim will embark on a UK & EU headlining tour this summer that will include performances at major festivals Rock am Ring, Download Festival, Rock in Werchter, La Nuit De l'Erdre, Musilac, and more.

Now he is set to release his debut solo album “Dream State Treasure” in October 2021 via tran-si-ent. The first track from the album, ‘The Devil’s Son’ – is available now, listen HERE. Von Ryper says:- “This track wouldn’t exist without the assistance of a dream. I simply awoke with a clear understanding of how to reproduce an existing song that I was struggling with. What I awoke with, in my mind, was a much slower, more soulful song, and played on the piano, not guitar It then became the overall essence of the album. Sometimes there are milestone songs that are integral to the feel of the whole, and this became the essence of the entire record to me. I honestly think it was the track that made me fully realize that I now had the album I wanted to make - I now had a north star for everything .” ‘Dream State Treasure’ was primarily recorded and mixed in Von Ryper’s home studio between 2018 – 2020. He utilized the break from touring, and the isolation of 2020 to explore sonic themes that he had experimented with early in his career when still recording on a 4-track. Now producing them on a much grander scale, he played most of the instruments, and recorded, produced and mixed the majority of the record himself, with additional input from Los Angeles engineer Norm Block, who also played drums on the record. On finishing the album, Von Ryper said:- “I knew that if I didn’t finish it in 2020 after being given the gift of so much time, that I would never do it. Telling people that you’re still working on your solo record year-after-year for a few years has a healthy sense of shame to it”, adding “and shame is a great motivator.” ‘Dream State Treasure’ will be released in October 2021 on vinyl, and digitally via all major music services. Von Ryper will be touring Europe in November with The Jesus And Mary Chain. Young hopefuls will be making their way to Belarus this November to take part in the 16th Junior Eurovision Song Contest. A record-breaking 19 countries will participate in Minsk - the most in the history of the Junior Eurovision Song Contest - celebrating the extraordinary young musical talent across Europe. Belarus’ public broadcaster BTRC (Belarusian Television and Radio Company) will host the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018, which will take place at the Minsk Arena on Sunday 25 November, the second time the contest has been held at the 15000 seat stadium in the Belarusian capital.

Young contestants will look to emulate the success of previous Junior Eurovision contestants, including Ieva Zasimauskaitė who performed for Lithuania in 2007 and went on to represent her country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Lisbon. As in previous years, the winner of this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest will be invited to perform at the prestigious Eurovision Song Contest 2019 in Israel. Having won the competition twice before Belarus are among the few countries who have won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest multiple times along with Russia and Malta who have also won twice, and Georgia who have won a record three times. Kazakhstan and Wales will both take part for the first time. Jon Ola Sand, the EBU’s head of Live Events and Executive Supervisor of the JESC said “We are delighted to have a record-breaking 19 countries taking part at the 16th Junior Eurovision Song Contest. Since the contest began in 2003 we have been thrilled to see a wealth of young talented performers take to the stage, some of whom have gone on to represent their countries in the Eurovision Song Contest.

Now, they are doubling down on what has been a huge response to the song and tour, with the release of a film-clip for the prog / rock track, and the announcement of all support acts for the tour. The video-clip was shot in Brisbane's CBD in March - and it is a frantic, intense, black-and-white clip and matches the attack & pace of the song. Clint Gough, bassist for the band and director of the stark and striking film-clip, says that "This video is a about mental illness. For some people, getting out of bed or walking down the street can seem like an impossible task. And unfortunately, many people choose to pay the ultimate price to escape from their own thoughts. We want to confront people about this issue and the devastating effects it can have. Because the sad fact is, you can never see it coming."

Asleep With Your Devil EP features five tracks, with one being a new version of their 2016 single "Watching You," and is out today on Imminence Records. "Asleep With Your Devil to me is just the beginning of oeuvre and artistic expression that will follow. This new EP offers fans a tantalising sample of the direction The Creptter Children’s musical journey will take them too in the future. After spending many long nights working very hard in the studio on this EP, I was quite pleased to hear the end result. As an artist I can be my own worse critic and will always pick out my flaws. However, I can say I was rather content with the final product and look forward to the next endeavour. My mind never sleeps and I ‘am putting together new song ideas as we speak.” - Iballa Chantelle (Vocalist) The Creptter Children are a gothic / industrial hard rock band currently based in Melbourne, Australia. They originated from Perth in 2006 by founding members Iballa Chantelle (vocals / guitars) and N8oR (guitars / synth). They released their debut album, entitled Possessed, back in 2010 before touring in the US during 2011. Shortly thereafter they took a hiatus before reappearing in 2016 and quickly catching the attention of American label Imminence Records. They announced their signing with the release of their “Watching You” music video on Halloween of that year. Renowned for their catchy hooks and dark fashion sense, which stem from the dark and twisted mind of Iballa Chantelle, the band brings to their fans (also known as “Freaks”) her message of creativity, open mindedness, and positive reflection towards spirituality and the supernatural. With influences from Behemoth, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie while being endorsed by Ibanez Guitars and Vampress Fashion, The Creptter Children are ready to take 2018 by storm with a new EP and a label backing them.

Writing it required a journey into the uncharted territory of the Shadow Self; all that has been neglected and abandoned. It's essence says that ultimately our deepest healing happens in the most painful periods of our life." The band's latest single, "Disappear" premiered last week as Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1. The super-charged track joins previously released singles "Crack My Heart" and "Temple." All three tracks have been seeing incredible streaming success with adds to Spotify's Rock This, Femme Fatale, The Scene, Pop Punk's Not Dead and Crash Course Playlists in the US, coveted New Music Friday adds in Thailand, Mexico and Italy, an appearance on Google Play's Today's Top Alternative Hits chart, as well as spots on Apple Music's Best of the Week and A-List: Rock Playlists in the UK.
