On November 2nd Rage Against The Machine’s The Battle Of Los Angels turned 25 and it still sounds as fresh as the day it was released.

Preceding the release on September 11th 1999 Rage Against The Machine played their first UK gig in three years at a secret show at the Zodiac Club in Oxford; those of us lucky enough to attend saw the band perform the following new songs live for the first time ever; 'Guerrilla Radio', 'Sleep Now in the Fire', 'Born Of A Broken Man' and 'War Within A Breath'.

Rage's third album shows why their legacy endures and here is the legendary video for 'Sleep Now In The Fire': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl4wkIPiTcY

It was an absolute honour to do their press for this album and all their other albums, and still call them friends over 3 decades later.

Today, October 28th, Shawn Smith of the best artists I’ve ever represented (and certainly one of the most underrated), would of turned 60.

Tragically Shawn passed away on April 3rd, 2019, leaving an incredible catalogue of music, including BRAD with Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam), Satchel and Pigeonhed, plus phenomenal solo work, and collaborations with The Twilight Singers, Malfunkshun, and more.

Shawn made so many wonderful songs (Buttercup, Battleflag, the list goes on) but today’s choice is ‘Wrapped In My Memory’ - a song that never fails to give me a lump in my throat:

It was an honour and privilege to call Shawn a good friend.

21/10/2024

The Wildhearts are proud to announce that their new studio album, ‘Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts’, will be released in spring 2025.

The creatively brilliant Ginger Wildheart is arguably amongst the UK’s best and most prolific songwriters, and his band, The Wildhearts, have just signed a worldwide deal with Snakefarm / Integral.

"The songs were written during a period of transition, from extremely negative to positive. I realised how much control I have over my mental health, and the songs came from that understanding. There’s everything here – catchy choruses, proper f**k-off riffs, anger, frustration, acceptance and revelation, with plenty of insane detours. The album starts pessimistic and ends up like ‘Ah, so I CAN turn my life around?’
Sometimes you have to start from the very bottom, your darkest point. We have more control over our emotions than we think. We control the outcome by how we respond. Once I started learning that, the songs came pi***ng out. It’s a hard rock album for people who actually love hard rock!
We’ll be taking a full evening’s entertainment on tour, kicking off with party-punks DIRT BOX DISCO, going to rock ‘n’ roll church with Jim Jones and the Righteous Mind and being flayed alive with The Wildhearts. The party starts when the doors open, so get a buzz on and get down early.
Come join the Wildhearts’ community gathering. We guarantee you’ll leave with the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll firmly restored.” – Ginger Wildheart

‘Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts’ was produced by Jim Pinder (Bring Me The Horizon , Lotus Eater, While She Sleeps, Bullet for My Valentine) and mixed by Jim Pinder and Carl Bown (Trivium, Machine Head, While She Sleeps, Bullet For My Valentine, Bring Me The Horizon, While She Sleeps).

“The first album I A&R’d was ‘Earth vs The Wildhearts’. What a magnificent, game-changing record! What a baptism of fire!! Very quickly, it became clear what a rare talent Ginger was, and is; to my mind, one of the great British songwriters of the past 30 years, and this new record underlines that point.
The conversation here was simple – let’s rejoin forces, let’s complete the circle, with an album forged in the spirit of ‘Earth vs…’, both in terms of the music and the overall intent, and let’s reference the title and that memorable front cover photo, too.
Which is what we have; the start of an exciting new chapter in the story of a band who have always been defined by the desire of one man to write songs that soundtrack our lives; songs where – to quote Wildhearts fave ‘Nita Nito’ – rules do not apply.” – Dante Bonutto, Snakefarm

To pre-order / pre save ‘Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts’ go to: https://thewildhearts.tmstor.es/

‘Satanic Rites Of The Wildhearts’ will be available on ltd coloured vinyl LP, CD with exclusive bonus track and cassette. There is also an album test pressing (limited to 50, customised & signed by Ginger). Plus, a signed bonus CD EP, with all bundle offers.

To celebrate this release, The Wildhearts will be playing 8 headline UK shows in March, starting on March 7th at the Leadmill in Sheffield and concluding at the 1865 in Southampton on 16th March.

For three decades, The Wildhearts have remained at the forefront of the UK rock scene, and their incendiary shows have cemented their reputation and legacy as one of the best band’s their homeland has produced, so miss these shows at your peril.

THE SILVERLITES featuring members of R.E.M. The Black Crowes and Screaming Trees announce debut album.

On November 15th The Silverlites proudly release their self-titled debut album on Sunyata Records distributed by Sony Music Entertainment This 12 song debut references the great rock bands and songwriters of the classic era, while still sounding fresh and new for modern times.

The Silverlites are a veritable supergroup made up of 4 renowned songwriters with 4 distinct backgrounds. The quartet includes Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Rich Robinson (The Black Crowes), Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees and Mad Season) and Joseph Arthur, a singer-songwriter who was first discovered by Peter Gabriel

“The Silverlites have a unique ability to write memorable songs, which captures the mood and feel of the classic songwriter bands of the past. At the same time, our songs sound fresh and contemporary. I honestly think that between the 4 of us, we’ve written so many good songs in our respective bands, that we have developed a collective 6th sense as to what a great song should sound like.” - BBarret Martin

The Silverlites initial spark happened in 2015, when Barrett and Rich played together in the backing band for a tribute to Led Zeppelinguitarist, Jimmy Page. 4 years later, in 2019, Rich called Barrett to see if he was interested in assembling a new band that could create equally adventurous music. That’s when Barrett called Peter Buck, a long time friend and collaborator, and Peter called Joseph Arthur, whom Peter had also worked with. The Silverlites debut album was recorded across the pandemic years between 2019-2021 in a series of recording stages.

It began with Barrett recording Rich and Peter in a hotel room in Nashville, when they took out their acoustic guitars to write the initial songs. Barrett literally ran down to the local music store, bought a portable recording rig, set it up in the hotel room, and started recording these initial basic tracks. The following year, in 2020, the band recorded overdubs and vocal arrangements from the Nashville sessions, and they also recorded a few more new songs at Jack Endinos studio in Seattle, WA. Barrett then collected, organized, and edited all the final overdubs and prepared 18 songs for mixing.

Final mixing happened in New York City in the summer of 2021 with Barrett, Joe, and mixing engineer Daniel Sanint. When it came time to sequence this huge initial offering, the band had differing opinions, so Barrett sent the mixes to his former bandmate, Mark Lanegan singer of the Screaming Trees. Mark loved the songs so much that he offered to create the sequence you now hear, which includes the 12 song album, and a 6 song EP.

The album was delayed for release because of everyone’s incredibly busy touring schedules post-pandemic, but now the album is ready to be heard by everyone. The band has decided to release 2 singles in early October and early November, and then the full album release on November 15th, followed by the additional 6 song EP in March of 2025.

The Silverlites first single, “Don’t Go, Don’t Stay,” is available now on all digital platforms around the world.

EMF release a brand-new single Reach For The Lasers, on October 11th, in celebration of their forthcoming co headline tour with Jesus Jones

“Reach for the Lasers is our celebration of the dance floor. James has always been the representative of electronic dance music within EMF and the combination of that with Ian’s indie rock guitars is what makes the EMF sound. This song is EMF paying homage to all those moments we find ourselves feeling uplifted, in a crowd of elated people, hands in the air worshipping at the altar of those great DJ’s that can bring people together in a frenzy of love and ecstasy. The core of the song being James’ list of his all-time greats, no prizes for guessing his favourite: Andy Weatherall comes 4 times. Calling all ravers” EMF

Watch the video here: EMF - Reach for the Lasers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZIW_QeK0RE

As well as the album version, the Reach For The Lasers single includes 3 brand new mixes including a very special treat:
Don Lettsand Guadi’s reggae remix of Unbelievable!!

Reach For The Lasers is the second single taken from their album ‘The Beauty and The Chaos’ and finds the band at their full creative tilt delivering Classic EMF! The band re-unite with Ralph Jezzard, who produced their worldwide hit Unbelievable and their first 2 albums (Schubert Dip and Stigma).

Describing ‘The Beauty and The Chaos’ as “Story, Glory and Auditory”, the album’s themes are “perhaps bigger and more political than previous releases. Covering immigration, protest, climate change and our place in the universe. We explore changing attitudes, addiction and soured friendships but also include classic EMF songs about our love of partying and the dance floor.”

Along with Reach For The Lasers and the previous single Hello People, which featured Stephen Fry, this energetic and diverse album features a further 8 finely crafted songs , taking the listener on a musical rollercoaster embracing Techno Punk (Reach For The Lasers), Nasty Northern Soul (Read The Room), Swampy Electronica (I’ve Been Down), Prog Punk (Stardust) and Trip Trop Gospel (Lookout Mountain), before the psychedelic Do It Again, a song about trying to grow up but failing, closes this sumptuous album in the best possible way.

To pre-order / pre save Reach For The Lasers go to: https://emf-theband.com/store
The Reach For The Lasers single will be available on CD and digital formats with exclusive mixes.

The Beauty and The Chaos is also available on limited edition yellow vinyl, deluxe CD, CD and digital formats.

Expressing their excitement for the co headline tour with Jesus Jones, James and Ian state: “From EMF at these shows you can expect all the old hits with an added couple of bangers from our new album, along with energy, lasers, community, excitement, and a feeling like we will all live forever.”

Sporting over 20x Top 40 hits between them, Jesus Jones, EMF, and echobelly (official)dominated the charts during a vintage era for indie and alternative-dance music.

The Los Angeles based band, 7D7D comprising of Tim Commerford (bass), Mathias Wakrat (drums) and Jonny Polonsky (guitar) start the dates in Lisbon at Lisboa ao Vivo on Starting 24th October and conclude the tour on Friday 8th November at the legendary Underworld in Camden, London.

“7D7D is a trio thats changed the way I feel and enjoy music. Whether is the crazy drum patterns or next level guitar beauty, I feel lucky to be a part of this band. It’s been life changing for me. I know that if I walked up on 7D7D somewhere I wouldn’t leave.” Tim Commerford.

Since releasing their debut single Capitalism on Black Friday November 25, 2022, the trio has continued to put out powerful and confrontational songs. All of these songs were recorded in Tim & Mathias' LA studio, while Jonny would add his parts from his NY based studio.

With Jonny having recently relocated to Los Angeles the band began rehearsing and soon after booked their debut gig. Jonny explains, "We’ve been recording music for the last two or three years via email, but since my move from NYC to LA in January, we’ve been practicing pretty steadily. It feels really thrilling to be finally getting out there performing live for the people.”

"It’s exciting to finally hear these songs live, they sound way better than expected", added Mathias. "It’s the most fun music project I’ve ever been a part of for sure.”

Tim continued, "I’m proud to be a part of this artistic fighter jet that never stops teaching me. I’m lucky to be with players like Mathias and Jonny. Plus, we’re at war and I need to sing about it.”

The band plan to continue to record and release new music, one single at a time - stay tuned!

About 7D7D:
Tim learned the bass and began to channel a tough childhood into music. By the time he was in his early 20’s he was in Rage Against The Machine. Tim was also in Audioslave (where he met Jonny) and Prophets of Rage.

Mathias was born and bred in France, later meeting Tim after moving to LA, through their shared passion for mountain biking. In 2015 the two formed the trio Wakrat and toured Europe, and with Prophets of Rage.

Tim and Jonny Polonsky Music first started writing music together after Audioslave broke up. Jonny had been their guitar tech, but that humble position is deceptive - Jonny was discovered in the 90’s by Rick Rubbinand signed to his label American Recordings, and he has also worked with Johnny Cash, Puscifer, David J of Bauhaus, the band, and many others.

The James Taylor Quartet proudly release a brand new single 'She Dreams In Crimson’.

“She Dreams in Crimson is about loving someone who’s displaying eccentric behaviour but somehow all is understood and celebrated. It’s about finding an overarching all encompassing meaning for life through the most unlikely of ways.”- James Taylor.

The joyful and reverential ‘She Dreams In Crimson’ is taken from the forthcoming new album ’Hung Up On You’ out on 25th October.

Watch the lyric video for ‘She Dreams In Crimson’ here: https://youtu.be/9Zry2H1XaeQ

“Since covid I've been working again, writing and playing, for my original band from the 80’s, The Prisoners and making albums of late with Billy Childish
At the end of a long writing session for The Prisoners I had quite a few tunes left over and I did not want them to go to waste so I got my band JTQ to try them out in rehearsal. The guys in my band are jazz/funk musicians, although Andrew, our bass player, also plays bass for Pulp When we started running these tunes they gave me a few quizzical glances but pretty soon we had the tunes sounding well exciting. I guess funk and soul is connected to rock n roll in some ways, anyway it feels right. We’ve drawn inspiration from things like the Buzzcocks The Rolling Stones The Who but we’ve also included some out and out hammond funk instrumentals in Jimmy McGriff style, these butt up against the p***y stuff in a curious way but because its the same guys and the same recording session etc, it’s not incongruous.
Anyway I booked a local studio and we banged these out. We are very pleased and excited about the results.
It reminds me of being 17 again!” - James Taylor.

‘Hung Up On You’ is an energetic and diverse album features 11 finely crafted songs full of rock’n’roll attitude.

Opening with a slice of Medway style p***y/new wave Rock’n’Roll, the title track (and first single) sets the tone. Ten further tracks follow, including ’She Dreams In Crimson’, plus “future” singles ‘Miss Your Life’, a rant about British apathy and complacency, and ‘Put Your Hands Up’ a tune that hails back to James’ time in the Prisoners supporting the Ramones in 1986. Before the sumptuous ‘My Wife’ closes album in the best possible way.

Recorded and mixed a Ranscombe studios in Chatham, Kent, the album was engineered and mastered by Jim Riley. This is the first time James Taylor has sung lead vocals and the album is an unequivocal triumph.

‘Hung Up On You’ is an aural treat and there’s something indefinable but very special about the album that makes it irresistible.

Furthermore, James Taylor is a keen philanthropist and has been trying to help the Rochester Cathedral with its out reach work,

James has been running a jazz gig in Rochester Cathedral to raise money for years but “last year I turned it into a festival, we had; Ronnie Scotts Big Band, Billy Childish, JTQ and the Nigel Price Organ Trio with Claire Martin OBE, raising £35,000.’ And this year on 12th November James has further expanded this event with performances by; JTQ, BBC Big Band, Jason Rebello, Lawrence Cottle Big Band plays Tower of Power, Tim Garland and the Britten Sinfonia. This is a charity event to raise awareness for refugees.

Rochester Cathedral “Supports the whole community, providing their services for free, and I help raise funds by doing piano recitals, sponsored runs, and working in the gardens. Its a big effort but we have got a great team and we are looking to expand it into a classical concert as well next year.
For years I worked for Emmaus in Woolwich, a homeless charity so I’ve had a lot of experience with helping out on that front.” - James Taylor
