Cave In - Final Transmission
Submitted by Nathaniel on June 7, 2019 - 17:50
Across the heavy music scene, few bands have been as mercurial and inventive as Cave In.
Reunions - Winter Heart, Summer Skin
Reunions is one of the least active bands around right now. It’s rare to see their name on a flyer, and you’ll be lucky to catch them playing outside of their home base of San Francisco, CA. They stay busy in their own way though. Outside of their lives as fathers, husbands, artists, and dog dads, they’ve continued to sharpen their already distinct sound.
The Atom Age - Cry Til' You Die
Run hot enough, a vacuum tube implodes, collapsing in on itself in the shithot blast of a rock and roll suicide. Once the heat kicks in, there’s no other outcome but thermal shock and shattered glass.
Strung Out - Songs Of Armor And Devotion
Strung Out will be releasing their brand-new album, 'Songs of Armor and Devotion,' on August 9th. Produced by Cameron Webb, (Motörhead, Megadeth), Songs of Armor and Devotion is a record that brims with the same ferocious fire the band had at the very start of their career, almost 30 years ago.
Leading the collection is the moody “Daggers,” which features singer/songwriter Jason Cruz telling a story of personal turmoil, within the backdrop of an increasingly dystopian America.
Track listing:
Jay Som - Anak Ko
Today Jay Som - a.k.a. Melina Duterte - announces her sophomore album, Anak Ko, pronounced Ah-nuh Koh, and meaning "my child" in Filipino.The follow-up to her breakout debut album Everybody Works, which received countless year-end list accolades in 2017, this album was completed during a week-long solo retreat to Joshua Tree. While much has changed both sonically and personally for Jay Som in the two whirlwind years since her debut, Duterte still recorded, produced, engineered and mixed this album herself at home, though this time in her newly adoptive city of Los Angeles.
Dad Brains - Dadditude
California punks Dad Brains return with their latest 7" colored vinyl/EP 'Dadditude' on June 14. The 4 track EP will be available digitally via all DSPs on June 7th.
A video for the first single, "Father's Day," is now streaming here: https://youtu.be/Va9mH-npzv4.
Pixies - Beneath The Eyrie
Visceral, musically cinematic, otherworldly but strangely familiar and a bit unsettling, welcome to Pixies' brand-new studio album, Beneath the Eyrie, where tales of witches, Daniel Boone, misfits and other characters fit utterly into the band's inherent weirdness. Boasting 12 new songs, the album will be released globally on Friday, September 13 via the group's new record label, Infectious/BMG.

Mile 22
For their latest collaboration, director Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg put aside the true all-American hero stories and went for a purely fictional action movie. It leads them to the Southeast Asia country of Indocarr where a police officer (The Raid’s Iko Uwais) holds the key to sensitive terrorist intel. It’s up to elite paramilitary agent James Silva (Wahlberg) and his team to get him to safety. To do so they will have to get him across town which covers a distance of... you got it, 22 miles.
