TeethOut Drops Brand New EP “Here We Go”

Charlottetown punks TeethOut have released their latest EP in its entirety after dropping the lead single 2 weeks ago. It’s available now digitally on High End Denim Records.

After exploding onto the scene with their debut EP Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (which caught attention for its “explosive, melodic… punk rock gold” vibe) and following that with the sharpened, emotionally deeper second EP Brittle But Elite (described as balancing “chaos with clarity” while digging into themes of survival and regret), TeethOut now steps into a third chapter with Here We Go.

The first EP introduced the band’s skate-punk roots and hooked listeners with urgent melodies and raw energy. The second refined that sound while exploring survival, stumbles, and midnight worries. The new record takes that foundation and moves it forward. With songs like Here We Go, Lifeline III, Down on Richmond, Friend of a Friend, and Whales, the themes stretch wider than before. These tracks talk about travel, connection, loss, and the rush of late-night drives. They carry a sense of time passing and the instinct to keep pushing forward anyway.

The lyric in “Here We Go” – (“Here we go… There’s no sleep when on the road… How fast can we go from here?”) captures the band’s current mindset. The energy is still high, but the songs now come from lived experience. Lifeline III touches on scars and second chances, Down on Richmond reflects on small-town shows and memory, and Whales slows things down to explore loss and distance.

The earlier EPs were about introducing the band and finding their footing. Here We Go feels like the sound of TeethOut embracing who they are. The songs are fast, honest, and built around stories that matter. It’s the sound of punk lifers chasing the same rush they always have, only now with more heart behind every note.

They also released a lyric video for the song “Whales.”

Death Lens Return With New Single “Power”

“…catchy riffs and an authentic punk attitude that’s both nostalgic and refreshing.” – Knotfest

“…backed by infectious vocal harmonies, heavy punk drumbeats, and fuzzed shoegaze-leaning guitar melodies.” – Remezcla

Today, Los Angeles alt-punks Death Lens, the self-described “Brown boys from La Puente“, let loose on new single “Power”. Fresh off a tour with Militarie Gun, the punchy new single is up next to be featured in the latest edition of the Skate video game series from EA. As Death Lens’ first new music since 2024’s Cold World, the track’s hooky guitar riffs and uplifting lyrics are a positive omen to close out a tumultuous year. Frontman Bryan Torres comments:

“I know the world feels out of balance, nothing seems certain, and waiting isn’t an option anymore. We can’t let time dictate our choices or our purpose. The world has never waited for anyone, so we stopped waiting too. That’s POWER. Strength. Resilience. When life feels bleak, we push harder for what we want and the vision we hold for ourselves. A song for anyone who loves it fast, with a message that lifts you up.”

Check out the music video for “Power” below, directed by Marco Hernandez and featuring pro skaters Zach Allen, Ethan Loy, Tyler Pacheco, Marley Humphrey and O’Connor Nelson.

“Power”
WATCH | LISTEN

Following the rhythmic bark of Cold World, a poignant album that deals with social and political unrest, Death Lens continue to bear the torch for Southern California’s melodic punk tinged with hardcore and social accountability. “Power” is the latest offering in their ever-evolving journey as a band and as people, confronting burnout and feeling like you can’t get up after you’ve been consistently knocked down. Nevertheless, Torres proclaims, “the world waits for no one” and compels listeners to get back on our feet and look out for one another.

Since 2012, Death Lens have aimed to be in your ears at all times. They hide their ferocity underneath a thick veneer of style until the energy and chaos of one of their live shows leaves every audience member disarmed and forever changed. While they started as your typical party garage punks, the band evolved to using their platform to speak on living in heavily policed areas, immigration reform, and using resources to uplift communities. “One world, one community“.

Death Lens is comprised of Bryan Torres (vocals), Jhon Reyes (guitar, backing vocals), Tony Rangel (drums), and Ernie Gutierrez (guitar).

RIP Ozzy Ozbourne 07/22/2025

Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath frontman and icon of British heavy metal, dies aged 76

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/22/ozzy-osbourne-black-sabbath-frontman-and-icon-of-british-heavy-metal-dies-aged-76?CMP=share_btn_url

A pioneering force in heavy music, Black Sabbath influenced a lot of how I feel about musical styles, and much of how I play. Ozzy’s solo career continued to be a major influence in my life, and the lives of many others.

Sincere condolences to Ozzy’s family, friends, and fans.

Cam Girl – Flesh & Chrome

Sexy, sleazy, ballsy, and rocking … is my take on the new Cam Girl release.

Hailing from Asheville, North Carolina, the group is about as opposite the folksy, roots, Americana that my mind conjures up when I think of Asheville.

Times they are always changing though. Keep up or get left behind, right?

Musically, the album is full of arena rock beats, arpeggiated guitar runs, operatic vocals, and sweeping solos.

The lyrics ooze innuendo. Clearly politically, and socially charged they add gravity to the theatrics of the album.

This is great rock and roll.

I can’t help but think of Shonen Knife, combined with Iron Maiden, filtered through a Bill and Ted lens.

Check out Flesh & Chrome by Cam Girl

Cheers!

Propagandhi Deliver New Album ‘At Peace’Out Now Via Epitaph

WATCH Lyric Video For “No Longer Young”

“classic Propagandhi, in terms of attitude: very confrontational politically-conscious punk.” – Vice

“an ambitious, multi-part thrash epic with tons of nasty, tricky riffs.” – Stereogum

“We’re definitely not a band that responds well to someone telling us we need to put something out,” Propagandhi frontman Chris Hannah quips. “That happens when we have something to talk about – and now is definitely the time for that.” In true Propagandhi fashion, their new record ‘At Peace’ is smart music for dangerous times. Out now via Epitaph Records, listen to it in full HERE.

A limited run of At Peace vinyl in multiple color variants is available to pre-order HERE

The band also shares the official lyric video to focus track “No Longer Young” which bassist Todd Kowalski adds, “This song is about the search to find or revive one’s true spirit despite the pressure and negativity of the present world, and hopefully it’s a little inspiration to keep on working towards a more just world. It’s also a reminder that no one is any better than anyone else, in the end we all return to dust. “ WATCH HERE

The ever-evolving standard-bearers of politically charged punk have actively kicked against musical confines and bro-punk conservatism, promoting a message of anti-fascism since 1986. Distilling their DNA of breakneck riffs, hardcore ethos, and radical consciousness, their message remains as vital, and volatile, as ever.

“Everything I’m singing about is still coming from being the same person that wrote and sang our first record ‘How to Clean Everything’ in 1993,” Hannah recalls the band’s snarky skate-thrash origins. “But what we’re putting into the songs now, probably reflects more despair than 30 years ago when we had similar perspectives, but with strands of hope and naivete. Now it’s the existential dread of eking out a life worth living in this completely failed society.”

Marking their first release since 2017’s Victory Lap, At Peace was forged during the ominous political climate in the months before “Emperor” Trump’s ascent to power. Penned shortly before the American oligarch’s suggestion that Propagandhi’s home country become the U.S.’s 51^st State, it was then mixed by Jason Livermore (Rise Against, Hot Water Music) at Blasting Room Studios in December 2024. This collection of poetic and polemic songs captures the anxieties and turmoil of the band’s four members, offering a powerful and poignant portrait of uncertainty.

Though at its core, At Peace is Propagandhi’s plea for hope against hopelessness. “Twenty years ago, we had a sense that things are fucked but that there could be a mass mobilization of people against the oligarchy, the billionaire class,” says Chris. “I don’t think that exists much in our music anymore and I don’t believe that mobilization is forthcoming. I hope to be proven wrong.”

Propagandhi is vocalist Chris Hannah, drummer Jord Samolesky, bassist/co-vocalist Todd Kowalski and guitarist Sulynn Hago.

Propagandhi Drop Sardonic New Single “Cat Guy”

From Manitoba, Canada, Propagandhi return with their new single “Cat Guy” ahead of their upcoming record ‘At Peace’ out on May 2^nd. A blistering anthem dripping with sardonic wit and razor-sharp critique, the track finds the Canadian quartet as incisive as ever, wielding breakneck riffs and subversive lyricism with a smirk and a snarl.

A tribute to societal identity with a twist, “From my songwriting perspective, the two things I was thinking of was capturing a little bit of Judas Priest’s Firepower LP as if SNFU’s Chi-Pig was writing the lyrics,” laughs frontman Chris Hannah.

Distilling their DNA of breakneck riffs, hardcore ethos, and radical consciousness, their message remains as vital, and volatile, as ever.

There’s no mistaking that on their first album in eight years, their frontline social activism has been supplanted by a deeper sense of reflection. Nearly a decade later, the members of Propagandhi have a lot on their minds. “We’re definitely not a band that responds well to someone telling us we need to put something out,” the frontman continues. “That happens when we have something to talk about – and now is definitely the time for that.”

Fight Back Mountain share “Sticker Book”

St Louis punks Fight Back Mountain share “Sticker Book”. This new song is the final single released in anticipation of their Death And The Miser album (out Feb 13th). “Sticker Book” is perhaps the album’s most reflective and affecting outing; lyricist/guitarist Anjelica Aquilino describes the song’s inspiration, saying “I was thinking of my grandma who died of an eating disorder decades before I was born. It instilled a very deep specific feeling when I first heard that story. The song evolved to represent our moments of melancholy that stop us and invoke an undefinable yet specific emotion.”

“Sticker Book” stands in striking contrast to the most-recent Fight Back Mountain release “No Recourse”. While the latter placed the band’s hardcore influences up front on a raging dispatch against a world going to rot, “Sticker Book” slows the pace and incorporates 90s alt rock influences on a slow burner that steadily drives the emotions home.

Death And The Miser is the third full-length outing from Fight Back Mountain. Vinyl and digital preorders are now available, here. Across twelve cuts, the album lays out a testament to modern life in flyover country and the dawning realization that everything you were told growing up is no longer true. The first hint of the Death And The Miser arrived in November 2024 with the release of the stormy ripper “Trouble & Havoc”.

This new album is the result of the band’s latest sessions with longtime producer Gabe Usery at Encapsulated Studios. Usery previously helmed the band’s releases Times Beach (2019), Lavender Sky (2021), and the Backslider EP (2023). As always, the Fight Back Mountain lineup is comprised of vocalist/guitarist Adrian Barnello, lyricist/guitarist Anjelica Aquilino, bassist Andy Kohnen and drummer Devin Dessieux.

RAT BOY RETURN WITH THE NEW SINGLE “SUBURBIA CALLING”

RAT BOY by Gavin Watson

RAT BOY’s ever-adventurous voyages across genres have taken the band, fronted by Jordan Cardy, on similarly sprawling journeys across the globe. But wherever they go, they inevitably find themselves boomeranging back to their Essex homelands. And that’s the topic that RAT BOY explore as they share their new single “SUBURBIA CALLING”, their first new music in over two years.

“SUBURBIA CALLING”

WATCH | LISTEN

Bringing together spiky indie-pop thrills with Jordan’s drawling semi-rapped vocals, “SUBURBIA CALLING” could be a big beat Blur, or The Streets had they emerged mid-Britpop. As we’ve come to expect, RAT BOY’s musical anarchy is the backdrop to Jordan’s distinctly British lyricism, his postcard pictures of small town culture providing equal measures of insight and humor. “SUBURBIA CALLING” is RAT BOY’s response if Essex ever needed its own national anthem. Priced out of London, you’re back in a world of commuters, curtain-twitching neighbors and Union Jacks – and you know what? It’s good to be back home. While it’s specifically about Essex, “SUBURBIA CALLING” will be relatable to anyone in the satellite towns or outer travel zones near any big city.

Jordan says, “This is a love letter to the suburbs. It made us and shaped us. It’s good to be back.”

“SUBURBIA CALLING” was produced by the renowned Stephen Street (Blur, The Smiths, Kaiser Chiefs). It was written by Jordan alongside the track’s co-producer Sam Preston (jxdn, MOD SUN).

When RAT BOY first emerged with his debut collection ‘THE MIXTAPE’ (which recently debuted on Spotify) he immediately earned a one to watch reputation, his genre agnostic style and biting lyricism encapsulating his generation’s experiences. But RAT BOY was only going to play by his own rules. Initially a solo project, RAT BOY evolved into a full band identity (with guitarist Harry Todd, bassist Liam Haygarth and drummer Noah Booth) with the more visceral spirit and darker themes of their debut album ‘SCUM’ nonetheless firing them into the UK Top 15.

RAT BOY’S next stop was a leftfield turn into the American punk scene, working with its pivotal figures such as Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy) and Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion, Epitaph Records) as well as touring with The Interrupters and earning the admiration of Mike Shinoda (Linkin Park). It was an experience that resulted in the album-length mixtape ‘INTERNATIONALLY UNKNOWN’ and the follow-up ‘GOVERNMENT VACATION’ EP. Since then, RAT BOY have focused on their other related projects (LOWLIFE’s ‘PAY DAY’ album and a mixtape from MILA) and brand new music, with only sporadic live shows in 2023 with a gig as special guests to YUNGBLUD and a hometown warm-up in Chelmsford.

Expect more news from RAT BOY soon.
