  • The Ocean Share Cover Of Nine Inch Nails’ “Even Deeper”

    The Ocean have shared their cover of Nine Inch Nails’ “Even Deeper.” The track will appear on Magnetic Eye Records’ upcoming tribute album “The Best Of NIN Redux.” That compilation will be released on November 28 alongside a tribute to “The Downward Spiral” called “The Downward Spiral Redux.” Guitarist Robin Staps commented:

    “When Nine Inch Nails released the double-album ”The Fragile’ in 1999, it was an eye-opening record for Loïc and me in many ways. The sheer scope of this album, the production marrying fat electronics with broken, organic, and acoustic elements that are intentionally slightly out of tune – no one else had done it like that before. Initially, we wanted to cover ‘The Great Below’, but someone had already picked that track, which made ‘Even Deeper’ our second choice. In hindsight, we were lucky with that. It is the perfect track for us and I like to think that we managed to make it ours, while honouring the original. Special thanks go out to Simen from Spurv and Orestis from Playgrounded for contributing trombone and synths. This is also a farewell, big thank you, and send-off to Loïc, as it was the final track that we recorded with him on vocals!”

  • Whitesnake’s David Coverdale Officially Announces His Retirement

    Whitesnake’s David Coverdale has officially announced his retirement. The singer said the following:

    “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, brothers and sisters of the ‘Snake, a special announcement for you. After 50 years-plus of an incredible journey with you, with Deep Purple, with Whitesnake, Jimmy Page, the last few years has been very evident to me that it’s time really for me to hang up my rock and roll platform shoes and my skintight jeans. And as you can see, we’ve taken care of the lion’s wig. But it’s time for me to call it a day. I love you dearly. I thank everyone who’s assisted and supported me on this incredible journey — all the musicians, the crew, the fans, the family. It’s amazing, but it really is time for me to just enjoy my retirement. And I hope you can appreciate that. Once again, I love you with all my heart. Fare thee well.”

  • AC/DC’s Melbourne, Australia Show Registered On Earthquake Monitoring Equipment

    AC/DC’s November 11 show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia was so loud it registered on equipment used to monitor for earthquakes. Adam Pascale, chief scientist at the Seismology Research Centre, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the concert hit the 2-5 hertz range on a seismograph.

    Pascale said the following:

    “The sound waves that people were experiencing nearby and feeling something through their bodies, that’s the equivalent to what our seismographs feel. We’re picking up the ground motion, we’re not picking up the sound from the air. So you’ve got speakers on the ground pumping out vibrations and that gets transmitted through the ground, but also the crowd jumping up and down is feeding energy into the ground.”

    He also added:

    “If everyone’s sort of bouncing in unison, it tends to amplify the signal so we can pick it up a little bit better. Whereas if it’s sort of just general crowd motion, like even at the grand final at the MCG [Melbourne Cricket Ground], we can still pick that up.”

  • Twelve Foot Ninja’s “Silent Machine” To Be Released On Vinyl

    Twelve Foot Ninja have announced a new vinyl pressing of “Silent Machine.” Pre-orders can be found HERE. Guitarist Steve “Stevic” MacKay commented:

    “I’ve heard “put ‘Silent Machine‘ on vinyl!” almost as much as busy similes…So I got Forrester Savell to give the album a proper vinyl zhuzh, and it’s now being digested by whatever almighty worm-beast coughs out records. The pressing process takes about 8–10 weeks, and this is a limited run–so if you want ‘Silent Machine‘ on vinyl, do future-you a Molly and preorder from the official website: www.twelvefootninja.com (Shipping will be from the USA but if there’s enough Aussie pre-orders I’ll look into an Australian pressing to reduce shipping expense). Have a lovely evening – Stevic“

  • Black Stone Cherry Premiere “Celebrate” Music Video

    Black Stone Cherry have shared an official video for the title track of their new EP “Celebrate.” That effort will be released on March 6. The band commented:

    “We had so much fun coming up with the concept for the ‘Celebrate’ video! We got on a phone call with director Kyle Loftus and we all hashed out ideas until we landed on something that got us all excited! We wanted the video to show what it’s like to be stuck in something, whether that be a boring job or maybe stuck in your own head, and how any little opportunity can lead to a small victory! The song itself is about celebrating every little thing in life, even if it’s just making it through the day. The video came out amazing with an amazing actor/musician, Aaron Paulsen as the lead and we get chills every time we watch it! The confetti at the end was one of our main requests as we wanted to visually show what it mentally feels like to celebrate inside your mind!”

  • The Violent Hour Premiere “Sex And Cigarettes” Music Video

    The Violent Hour, the band fronted by Carla Harvey (Lords Of Acid, ex-Butcher Babies, etc.), have premiered a new video for their song “Sex And Cigarettes.” You can check that out below. The track appears on the band’s debut self-titled EP.

    Harvey said the following about the single:

    “‘Sex And Cigarettes’ was the first song I wrote for The Violent Hour EP. It’s fun, sexy, and a full-throttle riot-grrrl love letter to chaos and chemistry.”

    She also commented on the video:

    “For the video, I wanted to capture that energy and the instant camaraderie we had as a band in a modern, Russ Meyer-esque fever dream that turns a simple road trip to a gig into absolute madness. I enlisted director Nathan Mowery to bring the vision to life. He’s not only a filmmaker but also a wrestler, so I knew he’d nail the finale I imagined. I write all my own video treatments and personally scouted most of the locations — from Circus Liquor to L.A.’s infamous Mustang Motel. Even tracking down that badass red convertible was part of the adventure. The final cut is exactly how I dreamed it — gritty, sexy and a little unhinged… just like the song.”

    Guitarist Allie Kaye continued:

    “We hadn’t been a band for very long before filming the video, but spending a full day together to shoot these killer scenes brought us closer together as a group.”

    Guitarist Kiana De Leon also chimed in:

    “The energy on the set of our first music video was truly unforgettable. Every moment filming felt less like work and more like hanging out with your friends, everyone just naturally vibed with each other. The chemistry was instant, and we all clicked as a whole. It was all good vibes, start to finish, and you can truly feel that excitement in every single scene.”

    Drummer Sasha DeLeon added:

    “If you’re not having fun with your band mates, then what are you doing?”

    Bassist Jewel Steele concluded:

    “I never had so much fun filming a music video. My favorite part was Carla driving the 63’ Ford Falcon Futura all around LA while we were rocking out and having a blast!”
