Mad About Rock

  With “The Land Of Milk And Honey,” GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-Platinum rock legends BUSH return, delivering the incendiary first single from their upcoming 10th studio album, I Beat Loneliness, out 18th July on earMUSIC. Watch the music video for 'The Land Of Milk And Honey' below: Blistering and poetic, “The Land of Milk and Honey” delivers a visceral punch, fusing raw emotion with unflinching social commentary. Produced by Gavin Rossdale and Erik Ron (Godsmack, Bad Omen, Panic! At The Disco), the track stands as a defiant anthem of resistance - personal and political - examining the illusion of freedom in a world ruled by power, obsession, and disconnection. With its searing lyrics, electrified energy, and unrelenting urgency, the song captures the razor's edge between survival and surrender, where fire smolders and love teeters. On the single, Gavin Rossdale shares: “The Land of Milk and Honey” is a wild ride into the heart of the new record, I Beat Loneliness. It’s bu...

  Storming metal unit SYLOSIS have released the video for the vitriolic 'Soured Ground', taken from their most recent EP, The Path. The band have also announced a limited vinyl run of the EP which can be purchased now from https://sylosis.bfan.link/the-path On the release of the new video, the band comments: "Following the success of The Path, it was clear that we had to immortalise these songs on some form of physical media. We knew the songs were strong, but did not expect them to connect with people the way that have. In light of this, we have a very limited pressing of the EP in coke bottle green with custom etching. The finished product is stunning and we can't wait to share it with you. To further celebrate the release, we shot a new video for the song Soured Ground. This was the obvious choice for the video after seeing all the fan feedback. We have a limited number of signed vinyl available on our webstore and on tour in Europe this month.

TOOTH GORE has also released the deeply engulfing single and video, 'I Hate My Collarbones', out now - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHbFF0uWLQ Listen via - https://open.spotify.com/artist/5RRVoUOAYvQxZiU2ZxlgT8 TOOTH GORE (aka Kobi Joe) is a uniquely talented and captivating artist who hails from the quaint seaside town of Newquay, Cornwall. TOOTH GORE was born at the end of 2021, however it wasn’t until 2024 that Kobi really began to attract attention and really make his mark. With a deft ability to fuse meaty fuzzy guitars and by drawing from earnest raw punk vigour of contemporary acts such as FIDLAR, The Frights, PUP and Jeff Rosenstock, Kobi Joe also mixes alluring reverb soaked doo-wop vibes (which are enthused by the music of the 1950s) and has constructed a sound that is distinctive and undeniably appealing. Kobi’s lyrics display his fears a...

  Pagan folk band FAUN are here with a new single ‘Lament’, a track that creates a sense of a darker undertone. With ‘Lament’ FAUN taps into the mournful power of myth, ritual, and grief, an old pre-Christian mourning song from the north of England. The band have extended this song by a few verses and turned it into an epic and emotional dirge with choirs, drums and old instruments. FAUN comments: "With a choir of four singers from FAUN, with hurdy-gurdy, flute, key fiddle and lure (Celtic long trumpet), we dedicated this song to their friend and sound engineer, Jürgen Schneider, who tragically passed away in 2023, after more than ten years of travelling and concerts together."
