JERRY CANTRELL SOCIALS American experimentalist Siiickbrain shares love letter to anti-depressants with new single "Zombie"24/10/2021 Experimental rock artist Siiickbrain has released her latest single “Zombie”. The track pairs the artist’s unique blend of seductive singing and profoundly personal lyrics. “Zombie is a love song that I wrote about my antidepressants while I was withdrawing from them earlier this year," she shares on the track that covers her take on prescription drug culture in America. Fans can stream “Zombie” today at https://onerpm.link/935894740602. The accompanying video displays x-rated dancing in an extra-terrestrial manner, is available to view today at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJVUC06ALw. Siiickbrain is the musical persona of Caroline Miner Smith. She grew up in a rural town and was always drawn to music but was afraid to dive in fully. While establishing herself as a highly desired model in New York City, Caroline started writing poetry as a means to cope with her own anxiety and personal demons. Siiickbrain has had a busy 2021, teaming up with artists like Hawthorne Heights to remix the iconic emo-rock anthem “Ohio Is For Lovers”, Russian protest art collective Pussy Riot to unleash an electrifying anthem “POWER”, which drives home the idea that women can take back any power that was ever taken from them. Inspired by her favourite movie Fight Club, the music video showcases an all-female cast of bright, young rising stars like Phem, Chloe Chaidez and more fighting it out, highlighting the raw power of women. She joined Machine Gun Kelly in his musical film Downfalls High. Siiickbrain also rounded out an incredible trio including Skrillex and Swae Lee on their propulsive track “Too Bizarre.” Be sure to follow Siiickbrain on social media for more new music soon.

The first new standalone single from Denzel in a year, 'The Game' finds him in peak form, assessing the current state of the rap game over Charlie Heat production. Whereas Denzel previously would have used this kind of opportunity to remind his peers of his technical prowess, 'The Game' sees him slow down his delivery so that the full effect of his bars can be felt.
The song arrives on the heels of it being announced as part of the Madden NFL 2022 soundtrack, marking the 4th year in a row that the soundtrack has featured a Denzel Curry single following 'Sumo', 'Shawshank' and 'Lemonade'. Most recently, Denzel connected with Robert Glasper for an exclusive Record Store Day release of their joint album Live From Leimert Park. He also appears on the new season of The Choe Show (Episode 3: "Just Us 3" with Will Arnett), and a new episode of Dave (FX) (Episode 207: "Ad Man"), out now. Listen to 'The Game' above and stay tuned for more from Denzel Curry soon. Today, Willow has released a performance video of her track, 'Lipstick', from her recently released new album, "Lately I Feel EVERYTHING" (MSFTSMusic / Roc Nation). It follows the official music video for her explosive single 't r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (ft. Travis Barker)', which was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award last week in the 'Best Alternative' category. Willow has also announced U.S. tour dates supporting Billie Eilish. Willow will join the tour on February 3rd in New Orleans, Louisiana. Highlights include two nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City on February 18th and 19th and The Forum in Los Angeles on April 8th. Willow will also play Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas on Friday, September 17th. More Willow tour dates will be announced soon. "Lately I Feel EVERYTHING" features Travis Barker, Avril Lavigne, Tierra Wack, Cherry Glazer and Ayla Tesler-Mabe. “'Lately I Feel EVERYTHING' is a musical expression of trying to perceive both joy and pain through an equally compassionate and playful lens,” says Willow. Of the 11 tracks on the album, Willow had previously released singles, 'Lipstick', pop punk anthem, 'Grow' and the explosive 't r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (ft. Travis Barker)'. In the time since its release, 't r a n s p a r e n t s o u l ( ft. Travis Barker)' has amassed 145 million streams globally and became Willow’s first Hot 100 entry, the song currently #12 on the Alternative Chart. All songs on "Lately I Feel EVERYTHING", were written by Willow with production and co-writing on select tracks from her long-time collaborator Tyler Cole. The album was recorded in Los Angeles at Conway Studios with additional drums by Matt Chamberlain. Willow plays guitar throughout. At only 20 years old, Willow has spent half her life in the music industry. With "Lately I Feel EVERYTHING, a decade of growth both in the industry and as a young woman come to a head. Her album is a love letter to that constant evolution. She began working on the record in 2020, during the pandemic. With all the extra time on her hands at home, she began recording demos that she would later re-record when she felt like she could safely enter a studio. It was a new process for her, born out of caution, but it helped her capture the rawness of her new sound. On the record, Willow channels the pop-punk and emo heroes she adored as a teenager, like Avril Lavigne, My Chemical Romance and Paramore. “I thought this was a really dope outlet for a new energy I wanted to bring to my music,” she says. 't r a n s p a r e n t s o u l (ft. Travis Barker)' was originally unveiled via Beats1’s Zane Lowe as a New Music Daily and has since garnered both critical praise and commercial success. “Smith’s song doesn’t so much make the case for Black women in pop-punk as much as it serves as a reminder that we’ve always been here,” said Jezebel. “It’s a pop-punk banger for the ages.” WILLOW recently performed the single on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Watch here. FOLLOW WILLOW ON The Killers’ new album, Pressure Machine, is out now on Island Records. Their seventh studio album, Pressure Machine follows last year’s critically-acclaimed Imploding The Mirage, which gave the band a record-breaking sixth consecutive UK #1. Like its predecessor, the album was co-produced by the band, Shawn Everett, and Jonathan Rado (of Foxygen). The release comes along with an animated video for the song, Quiet Town, as well as the final instalment in a series of trailers filmed by Danny Clinch and featuring music and spoken interludes from the album. When the Covid-19 pandemic shut down the promotional run and worldwide tour for Imploding the Mirage, “everything came to this grinding halt,” says frontman Brandon Flowers. “And it was the first time in a long time for me that I was faced with silence. And out of that silence this record began to bloom, full of songs that would have otherwise been too quiet and drowned out by the noise of typical Killers records.” Indeed, for the first time since 2004, the relentless momentum and pressures of being in a globally-renowned, stadium-shaking band stopped. Enter Pressure Machine: a view into the everyday realities of a small American town with a stark, tough beauty, and The Killers’ most restrained and resonant album yet. A quieter, character-study-driven album, Pressure Machine lives squarely in Flowers’ home town of Nephi, Utah, a close-knit community of 5300 people with no traffic lights, a rubber plant, wheat fields, and the West Hills. Nephi is the place Flowers spent his formative years (10-16), saying “had it not been for advancements in the automotive industry, Nephi in the 90s could have been the 1950s.” The album’s songs are based on the memories and stories of people that impacted him growing up, interspersed with commentary from current Nephi locals about their town. “We were discussing [Brandon] moving to Nephi as a kid and being stuck in the middle of nowhere,” says the band’s drummer Ronnie Vannucci Jr. “And during Covid-19, it started to feel like we were all in the middle of nowhere.” Concurs Flowers, “I discovered this grief that I hadn’t dealt with,” he says, “many memories of my time in Nephi are tender. But the ones tied to fear or great sadness were emotionally charged. I’ve got more understanding now than when we started the band, and hopefully I was able to do justice to these stories and these lives in this little town that I grew up in.” The resulting record is an aural document of growing up - and living - in the American Southwest, told from a myriad of perspectives. For the first time in his life, Flowers had complete lyrics before a note of music was put to tape. No stranger to inhabiting different characters in songs, on Pressure Machine he steps into the shoes of some of the people whose lives he watched unfold as a teen. The album weaves the threads of Flowers’ signature lyricism throughout his career into a perfect whole culminating in the most elegant album The Killers have ever made. Through its characters and also its title, the album squares up to the unbending pressure of the American dream compounded by religious disenchantment. A born optimist, moments of beauty inevitably shine out of the grief of Flowers's songs: the healing arrival of summer, the first crop of hay, sweeter skies. Pressure Machine’s stories detail the real life personal battles, overwhelming regrets, local tragedies, and the opioid epidemic that hit Flowers’ home town, as well as every home town in America. Flowers sings about the choices people make, for better and for worse, and the consequences of those choices; the ones who were left behind, and the ones that can’t be forgotten. Pressure Machine’s album cover image was shot on the highway just outside Nephi, taken as photographer Wes Johnson passed a roadside inspirational display set up by a local Baptist church. Johnson took dozens of incredible images of Flowers’ home town throughout the early part of 2021, many of which are featured in the album’s packaging for the physical edition. The Killers will be heading back to the road to celebrate both Pressure Machine and Imploding The Mirage, along with their much-loved catalogue of global hits, later this year. The band’s UK stadium tour, originally planned for summer 2020, now takes place in May/June 2022. Click HERE for a full list of upcoming tour dates. WEBSITE / TWITTER / INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK “Bubble Rockstress” Alexa Villa has unveiled her bold new single “Call Me Crazy.” The infectiously catchy pop-rock track is an anthem for the outsiders and dreamers who choose to forge their own paths in life. Stream it here: https://linktr.ee/thealexavilla. Villa shares:- “I wrote this song about how it feels to always be on the outside. For a long time growing up I didn’t feel like I belonged to any certain group of people. This song is about embracing that and stepping into who you are. I was always the one with my head in the clouds and was always told I live in a fantasy-land for having big dreams. I was the loud, wild one with crazy ideas and too much to say. This song for me was a way to overcome that and find my identity. It’s not crazy to dream.” “Call Me Crazy” will be featured on Villa’s upcoming Good Girl EP, which is planned for release in the coming months. While her classmates were playing with Barbies, Los Angeles-based Bubble Rockstress Alexa Villa was playing on The Warped Tour. She has opened for acts including The Darkness, Ryan Cabrera, and Mark Ballas & BC Jean of Alexander Jean to name a few and has honed her craft as the sharp, yet charismatic artist she is today. With influences ranging from Miley Cyrus, Yungblud, 5SOS, Willow Smith and Halsey to Led Zeppelin, Gwen Stefani and Alanis Morissette, the singer-songwriter / classically-trained pianist and producer empowers the listener to embrace their madness and be authentically imperfect, loud and abrupt. She also expresses individuality through fashion and works with various brands to further create her own world. Papa Roach has just released the official video for their track “Feel Like Home.” The minimalist, high-energy video was filmed at home under quarantine and provides a rare and very entertaining look into the band members’ home lives, their families (and dogs!). The band explain: “We’re all home, in quarantine, and decided to try and entertain our families a little bit with one of our favourite songs from the record – we hope it brings a little joy and positivity. Really looking forward to seeing people around the world trying their own!” Papa Roach also launched a worldwide #FEELLIKEHOMECHALLENGE. Fans are encouraged to create their own version of the video from home, for the opportunity to win several prizes, including a Grand Prize of $1,200. All entries are to be submitted by Sunday, May 31st. The band will announce winners on June 8th.

Directed and produced by Michael Perlmutter, the comic-book-inspired piece is a heartfelt celebration of life’s everyday heroes. Watch the video now HERE. Goo Goo Dolls also filmed a live performance of “Fearless” in association with Global Citizen for their “Together At Home” Series. The stripped-down rendition was recorded in an effort to spread awareness and raise funds for the World Health Organization to help end the coronavirus. Watch it now HERE. Miracle Pill officially arrived in September 2019 via Warner Records. The album was described as “potentially the biggest Dolls album released to date (Planet Rock)”, as well as one that “easily stands alongside the best of their career (PopMatters).” In addition to “Fearless,” the engaging and timely album also features numerous other instant-classics such as the smash single “Miracle Pill” and the slow-burn “Autumn Leaves”. Formed in Buffalo, NY during 1986 by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac, Goo Goo Dolls quietly broke records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 12 million records worldwide, the group garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and seized a page in the history books by achieving 14 number one and Top 10 hits at Hot AC—"the most of any artist.” As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” Thus far, A Boy Named Goo (1995) went double-platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl went quadruple-platinum, and Gutterflower (2002) and Let Love In (2006) both went gold as Something for the Rest of Us [2010] and Magnetic (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. 2016’s Boxes attracted the praise of People and Huffington Post as Noisey, Consequence of Sound, and more featured them. Their music has been covered by everyone from Taylor Swift to Leona Lewis. Among many accolades, John received the prestigious “Hal David Starlight Award” in 2008. Following a sold-out 2018 twentieth anniversary tour in celebration of Dizzy Up The Girl, Goo Goo Dolls wrote and recorded their twelfth full-length album, Miracle Pill, igniting a bold and bright new era in the process. Miracle Pill arrived on September 13th, 2019 via Warner Records. Official Site | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube American hardcore punk band, Rotting Out, have officially released their third full-length album, Ronin, via Pure Noise Records. The 10-track album is available across streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, etc., as well as for physical purchase here. Additionally, the band has shared a music video for "Last Man Standing" off of the album, which is available to watch here. Ronin is the home of singles "Reaper," "Unforgiven," and "Stones," which have been heralded by Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, The Noise, and more. On the album, lead vocalist Walter Delgado shares:- "It's been 7 years since our last LP. A lot has happened since: hard lessons, periods of isolation, weight of guilt, diagnosis, crippling realization, absolute hopelessness and also absolute peace and calmness. The purpose for the image of the record is that there was a lot that was left unspoken and I danced around the darker moments and some were just buried completely. I decided to reopen things that haven't been open in almost 25 years and look it straight in the face. That old dusty mirror that shows me more than I'd like to see or remember. I've never been more proud of writing this record and nothing was left behind on my end. Some of these took more out of me than I'd like to admit. Nonetheless, I knew it was time to put it all out there." Raised on the sounds of local LA heroes Suicidal Tendencies and Pennywise, yet fully indebted to the thriving Southern California hardcore scene, Rotting Out have continually created some of the most energetic and captivating punk/hardcore being played today. Their music expresses a certain LA grit that is so rarely captured by many hardcore bands. After disbanding from their original band, Dogpile, the band formed in 2007. Since then, they have released two full-length records and two EPs. With vocalist Walter Delgado's arrest in Ohio and 18-month sentence for transporting an estimated 700 pounds of marijuana, the band was forced to take a break. After a three-year hiatus, the band re-emerged into the scene at the iconic Sound and Fury Festival and This is Hardcore Fest in 2018. Now, in 2020, the band is back and ready to reclaim their place in the industry. Ronin is out now via Pure Noise Records.
