Ginger Evil – A New Kind Of Twist

19th November 2024

Finnish female-fronted rock sensations Ginger Evil are excited to announce the release of their debut album, “The Way It Burns”, out on February 14th, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl.

To coincide with the announcement, the band have released today the EP “Hands Move To Midnight”, digitally available now. The title track and accompanying music video are also out now.

Guitarist Tomi says:
“The main reason for forming Ginger Evil was to have a safe place as a band, where the song is the boss. Not the production, not the so-called perfect sound, not the number one single. Keith Richards said once “Smile is the boss”. For me, that is the ground rule; to make yourself feel good. If someone else likes the song, it’s an added bonus. I guess that pretty much sums up Ginger Evil”.

“We have released singles throughout the year, and we wanted to wrap this year up as an EP. We added one of the first songs we’ve ever recorded together, “Hands Move To Midnight”, to tie the EP together. It’s fast, it’s hard, it’s almost heavy, but still has layers of harmony which now seems to be the thing in our songs. The melody is always the main thing”, adds bass player Veli.

Ginger Evil began as Moonshine Inc. in 2005, in a rehearsal room in Helsinki, Finland. After a couple of years of rehearsal and composing, a fruitless search for a singer meant the songs were put on ice.
Meanwhile, guitarist Tomi Julkunen and bassist Veli Palevaara continued gigging in Finland with The Milestones, including arena shows with Deep Purple and Whitesnake. In the aftermath of their fifth album, those Moonshine Inc. songs from a decade back emerged from hibernation, so the search began again for a vocalist.

The powerful voice of Ella Tepponen was known to Tomi and Veli from many theatre and music projects, and drummer Toni Mustonen was already familiar to everyone. Jamming together found a shared musical passion, and a group creative process soon flourished. Ginger Evil was born.

“From Foo Fighters to Fleetwood Mac” is how the band hears their music, with singer Ella bringing a whole new kind of twist to their rock expression. Everything was coming together. Music producer and film director Richard Stanley, known for his work with The Who heard demos of Ginger Evil and was inspired to write lyrics.

In early 2022 Ginger Evil signed a deal with Deadfall Artist/Band management and a half year later with Frontiers Music Srl. (Def Leppard, TOTO, Whitesnake, Journey). For the recording of their debut album, “The Way It Burns”, Ella brought in Teemu Aalto (Insomnium) as a producer, who also handled the final mixes with final mastering by Grammy-nominated Svante Forsbäck of Chartmakers (Rammstein, Volbeat, Sunrise Avenue, Apocalyptica).

LOVE GHOST x SKOLD – When Universes Collide

18th November 2024

Music News

On a hot and heavy trail of singles ‘Nightshade and Cocaine’, ‘Payback’ and their latest offering ‘Ski Mask’, alternative rock maverick Love Ghost and industrial legend Tim Skold (SKOLD, Shotgun Messiah, KMFDM, Marilyn Manson, Motionless in White) are geared up for their debut ‘Love Ghost x SKOLD’ album.

The 13-track offering will be released through iconic American label Metropolis Records, continuing the label’s long relationship with Tim Skold.

Mixing fire with brimstone, these two innovative artists have joined forces, forging the raw energy of grunge with the driving rhythms of industrial rock, taking us through an adrenaline-filled journey that Finnegan Bell dubs “literally musical storytelling”.

“We very deliberately tried to not have a specific “sound” for this album and instead make music that is genuinely honest and pure in that sense. We both have stylings and character so we didn’t feel that was something that needed much attention and instead focused on making a rad collection of songs that we felt are really cool. I think real and true diversity come from making sure you don’t stifle the raw creativity,” says Tim Skold.

Finnegan Bell adds, “I would agree with Tim, we made music that we felt was from the heart and stimulated our imagination. The music sounds like multiple universes coming together to create something unique and we are proud of that. I’ve also always felt that art should be in the eye of the beholder, because it means something different for every individual person that is experiencing it.”

Swedish musician and record producer Tim Skold is best known for his work with KMFDM, Shotgun Messiah, Marilyn Manson, and Motionless in White, as well as performing as SKOLD and half of Not My God (with Nero Bellum). A full-fledged band member of Marilyn Manson for several world tours, Skold produced the band’s #1 Billboard US charting album ‘The Golden Age of Grotesque’, cover versions of ‘Tainted Love’ and ‘Personal Jesus’, and the controversial album ‘Eat Me, Drink Me’. He later co-produced two Motionless in White albums. As SKOLD, he has released several albums and toured extensively with Front Line Assembly and Motionless in White, among others.

Based in LA, Love Ghost is an enigmatic indie band dishing up a distinctive blend of grunge, alt-rock and post-punk, informed by the Seattle tradition as much as Soundcloud-era fearlessness. Founded by vocalist-guitarist Finnegan Bell, the band quickly garnered attention for their raw, energetic sound, mature lyrics and numerous collaborations. Having toured internationally, they’ve also earned plaudits from such publications as Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, American Songwriter and New Noise.

“For me, writing is something that has always been so intuitive – like it clicks or sometimes it doesn’t click. But for this project, we just kind got into the studio and had really good chemistry. Now you know that a lot of songs came from that. Sometimes Tim would have an idea or sometimes I would. It just felt like electricity. Every single time that we would get together, we would have a new idea and we would have a new song basically,” says Finnegan Bell.

In his turn, Tim Skold notes that, in a fleeting and constantly evolving music industry, this project presented unique opportunities that differ from his collaborations with such high-profile artists as Marilyn Manson and Ye, where heightened fame and media attention can significantly complicate the creative process, not to mention logistics.

‘Ski Mask’ and ‘Nightshade and Cocaine’ are out now everywhere, including Bandcamp, Spotify and Apple Music. The ‘Love Ghost x SKOLD’ album, which is now available for pre-order, will be released on November 22.

The Othyrs – A Finely Tuned Organic Live Group

18th November 2024

Music News

The Othyrs are built around the family unit of Andy Golding (guitarist of indie-noise pop mainstays The Wolfhounds) and his children Alice and James Golding, plus bassist and brother/uncle Richard Golding and violinist Paul Warwick. The latter two are also members of The Wolfhounds.

‘Science Sunday’ is their third album, with much of it written and recorded when Andy, Alice and James found themselves living under the same roof after Alice completed her psychology degree and James returned to the UK after a year living abroad.

With an enforced lockdown also in place at that time, James and Andy recorded everything in their home studio, the majority of instrumentation and arrangements provided by James ahead of Paul adding his signature violin lines and Alice her lead vocals. The family vocal harmony style is highlighted in songs such as ‘Roses’ and ‘The Gulf of Ewe And Eye’. The album has been mixed by engineer Ant Chapman, a long term recording partner of Andy’s.

The Othyrs have become a finely tuned organic live group in the years since lockdown ended. In the studio, this has helped turn them into a highly driven outfit, highlighted on songs such as ‘Nobody Knows’ and ‘Mustard Buzz’. By contrast, the likes of ‘Pure Adrenalin’, ‘Skimming Stones’ and ‘Helper’ showcase a gentler, acoustic side to this family unit truly making the most of their time, and in doing so creating an album of which they are justly proud.

Released on CD in mid-October, ‘Science Sunday’ is available digitally now.

Dwight Yoakam – Timeless and Timely

18th November 2024

Country News

21-time nominated, multiple Grammy Award winner and country superstar Dwight Yoakam’s first new album in nine years, Brighter Days, is out now on ViaRecords/Thirty Tigers. Listen HERE.

Leading up to the release Yoakam unveiled three new songs: “I’ll Pay The Price”, “Wide Open Heart”, and “I Don’t Know How To Say Goodbye (Bang Bang Boom Boom)” with Post Malone (along with a music video).

Written and recorded over the last three years, Brighter Days features 12 brand-new songs written/co-written by Yoakam, as well as three seemingly disparate covers—“Keeping On The Sunny Side” by the Carter Family, “Bound Away” by Cake and “Time Between” written by Chris Hillman of The Byrds—artfully woven into the same body of work in the unmistakable style that could only be Dwight Yoakam.

At once timeless and timely, Yoakam self-produced Brighter Days, infusing a modern appreciation for country music’s history with the trailblazing rock and roll spirit of California. The result is an album that reflects a sense of craftsmanship and immediacy, capturing the quintessential Dwight Yoakam “cool” that has set him apart from his country contemporaries since the beginning of his legendary career. As always, Yoakam’s lyrics throughout the album are both deceptively effortless and profoundly poignant. The album was mixed by world-class engineer Chris Lord-Alge.

Brighter Days tracklisting

1. Wide Open Heart
2. I’ll Pay The Price
3. Bound Away (Cake cover)

We Are Bodies – Luxurious and Atmospheric

18th November 2024

Music News

We Are Bodies is the British duo of Dave Pen and Robin Foster. They create anthemic electro-prog soundscapes that combine guitars and electronics with lyrical subjects inspired by love, loss, paranoia and….robots.

Dave Pen is a south coast-based vocalist and guitarist who is also one half of the alternative/electronic group BirdPen and co-frontman with the experimental trip-rock collective Archive, who have built a huge continental fanbase during three decades of activity that has seen them sell out arenas and achieve significant album chart success in multiple territories.

Based in north-west France since the late 1990s, Robin Foster is a composer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist with a penchant for creating brooding soundscapes packed with lush cinematic textures, underpinned with his signature guitar sound. He has written scores for award nominated movies, Netflix and Amazon Prime dramas, numerous TV commercials and has released several acclaimed solo records with guest vocalists that have included Pen.

pre-save/add | Burning Shed (ltd col LP) | Bandcamp

The duo began collaborating in 2011 and released an eponymous debut as We Are Bodies in 2015. Its long-awaited follow-up, the genesis of ‘The Love Was All We Had’ was as a pandemic project with ideas emailed back and forth across the Channel themed around what was occurring in the world at that time. Its focus then switched to the present, with the lust for power and war taking centre stage. The album finally took shape, its songs primarily concerned with love and loss, both on a personal level and for mankind as a whole.

The music is a mixture of the stridently luxurious and atmospheric, with Pen’s lyrical subject matter describing love from different perspectives. This includes new single ‘Dancing In The Midnight Howl’, a song about a pair of lovers torn apart, with the male protagonist having a recurring image in his mind of his partner dancing and longing to escape the mess of modern society to be with her. It follows ‘Lost’, an upbeat earworm about a twisted relationship that was released in early October.

Camille Schmidt – Laying It Bare

15th November 2024

Music News

As a child, Camille Schmidt would sit at the kitchen table with the models who posed nude in her parents’ art studio.

She occasionally wondered why, at the end of these life drawing sessions, paintings of the female body in its most vulnerable form would be given an impersonal title like “Girl with Dogs #3” or “Woman Sleeping #7.”

On her debut album Nude #9, Schmidt renders revealing and personal portraits—of herself, her family, and former and future lovers. Seamlessly blending the sounds of synth-pop, folk, and punk, Schmidt’s debut album is a rapturous portrait of a songwriter realizing her full potential.

The Brooklyn-based singer and songwriter cracked open the folk-rock songbook on her debut EP Good Person, released this past June. While breakout single “Your Game” was a queer kiss-off set to the rollicking sound of alt-country legends like Lucinda Williams and Alison Krauss, there was a soft power in her wistful approach to heartbreak on “Bumblebee Drinks Lavender.” These six songs, which showcased Schmidt’s hallmark ability to balance an innately wry sense of humor with moments of quietly devastating self-reflection, hinted at something greater than the sum of their folk-rock parts.

On Nude #9, despite growing her ensemble, Schmidt sounds more present than ever before, the unflinching honesty in her lyrics front and center. Broadening her palette to include starry-eyed ambient soundscapes and thrumming post-punk rhythms while digging deeper into romance, sexuality, friendship, and her own sense of self, Nude #9 is sincere and whimsical, hilarious and deeply felt.

One listen to “XOXO” reveals an exhilarating new side of Schmidt’s vocals: The song opens with a drum machine and a featherlight synth, before introducing her voice, distorted with vocal processing but somehow stronger for its digital warps. These layers of electronic manipulation are like armor, a protection as she reveals the crevices of her inner thoughts, whether about raising a child with her best friend or the “demon in my room” she faces when she’s all alone. “RIP the girl I was playing,” she sings as the instrumentation behind her starts to twist and double on itself, half-woman, half-machine, as she annihilates the ghosts of her former self.

The songs that would become Nude #9 began to take shape last December. Working with LA-based producer Ben Zaidi, Schmidt would write at least a song a week; by the end of a few months, she had quickly amassed over 45 new songs. But realizing these songs in the studio was a new process for Schmidt, who recorded Good Person with a live band, “no headphones, and basically no overdubs,” she recalled. For Nude #9, she brought in a group of equally talented musicians—bass from frequent collaborator Eli Heath, sound sculpting from Michael Haldeman (Mk.gee), additional guitar from Sam Acchione (Alex G) and Jacob Drab (Allegra Krieger), and additional percussion from Kane Ritchotte and W. Alexander.

On album standout “Cult in Denver,” Schmidt traverses the expansive range of her voice, a staccato and slight flutter in one moment and a textured low hum in the next. “How could anyone be like you are to me?” she sings over the meditative beat of a kick drum, the verve of an electric guitar peeking out between her verses, a hint at what’s to come.

The album’s next track, “Stanley,” wields her guitar like a blowtorch, setting her words ablaze with riffs that shoot out like fireworks amidst her voice. Perhaps the sharpest example of Schmidt’s writing, “Stanley” evokes an absurd and poignant image of a woman “going nowhere,” finding strange comfort in the oddballs who seem just as lost as her. Steeped in dream logic—“I walked the plank I mean I went to the bank/ I had a hot matcha and a heart attack”—the song reflects Schmidt’s keen balance of the insane and the quotidian, honed over years of writing fiction and a prior career in comedy television.

“A lot of these songs were written completely stream of consciousness,” she said of the album. Writing without self-editing was freeing, allowing thoughts to unspool before she had a chance to doubt her intuition. The result is an album that feels at once familiar and completely new at every turn.

From the witch doctor with questionable cures on the riotously fun “Fish Pills,” to the proper names of exes and friends that mark songs along the album like dates atop diary entries, the thrilling and occasionally heartbreaking lyrics on Nude #9 are culled from Schmidt reflecting on her experiences. “I spent so much of my life not being honest with myself or other people,” Camille said of her writing process for the album. “I thought, what if I stop trying to get good with myself? With anyone else? What if I just reflect the truth of what I’ve seen? What if I just say what happened?”

Nude #9 is as indelibly strong as it is revealing. In creating such a candid self-portrait, Schmidt invites us to look directly at our own shame, her gaze warm but unflinching, honest but playful, cutting but just as forgiving.

DOVES – The Show Goes On

14th November 2024

DOVES will return to the road for a full UK Tour following the release of their upcoming, sixth studio album, Constellations For The Lonely in February next year.

Beauty In Chaos – Something Special

14th November 2024

Music News

Beauty In Chaos presents ‘Echoes And The Angels’, the new video-single from their fourth studio album ‘Dancing With Angels’, released via 33.3 Music Collective.

This earworm track features the incredible vocal range of Leo Luganskiy, a NYC-based artist and frontman of Strangelove, the world’s foremost internationally-touring Depeche Mode production, and alternative wave-metal band FOiRMODA.

Based in Los Angeles, Beauty In Chaos formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins).

“‘Echoes And The Angels’ was originally going to be the name for this album, until I saw Maren Platzhoff’s cover art concept. I am happy that Leo gravitated to the phrase and created a very memorable chorus …. remember, echoes and the angels,” says Michael Ciravolo.

Leo Luganskiy sheds some light on his lyrics, “You can have a love story that is fully complete and copacetic or you can have a beautifully chaotic romance that changes you forever. It unlocks something in you ….”.

As with many Beauty In Chaos videos, this new ‘lights, camera, action’ video was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero / Industrialism Films.

Michael Ciravolo explains, “’Echoes and The Angels’ was the first of the four videos shot from this album, but somehow worked out as the last one we released. We have filmed other videos at this studio, but never in this room and I had made a mental note that the lighting vibe would be perfect for the right song. As we were mixing this track, I knew this would be the right location. I didn’t really have a concept going into it other than the outro ‘angel dance’ sequence and letting Leo be Leo! I do feel we, again, created a video that was different from its predecessor… which is always our goal”.

Cementing their legacy for captivating and imagination-stirring music, this riveting album also features The Mission frontman Wayne and Cinthya Hussey, The Bellwether Syndicate’s William and Sarah Faith, Ashton Nyte (The Awakening), Kat Leon (Holy Wars) and Julian Shah-Tayler (The Singularity), plus Cynthia Isabella (Silence In The Snow) and Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK).

For CDs and digital versions bought via BIC’s website, Ciravolo offers something special, joining songs together with musical interludes, dubbed ‘Halos’, explaining, “These are unique soundscape interludes that sonically tie each song together, along with the album’s coda. I do have this… probably unrealistic romantic idea that the listener will give this album at least one top-to-bottom uninterrupted listen”.

Earlier, Beauty In Chaos shared ‘Holy Ground’ featuring Patrik Mata of seminal darkwave band Kommunity FK and the single version of ‘Diving For Pearls’ featuring The Mission‘s Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM). BIC’s most recent offering is ‘Made of Rain’ featuring the brooding baritone of Ashton Nyte of legacy goth rock outfit The Awakening, who has also just released their twelfth album.

Previous releases involve members of The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, Rolan Bolan, and guitar icon Zakk Wylde.

‘Dancing With Angels’ is available on limited edition multi-color vinyl, CD and Digital format at the Beauty In Chaos store. The album can also be found on Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify. The first 100 vinyl come with two posters signed by the artists. Vinyl and CD purchases also include the full digital version of the album (with Halos and two bonus tracks).
