THE RADDICAL’s
2020-DEFINING SONG
“[dear universe]”
INSPIRES POSITIVITY AMIDST TUMULTUOUS YEAR

“If 2020 were a song, ‘[dear universe]’ would be it,” proclaim Extra (10/27/20) regarding the head-turning debut single from Los Angeles-based alternative rock/pop project THE RADDICAL. The track is an empowering call-to-arms to humankind and its accompanying music video (as seen below) sheds light on current events that have plagued the year including the global pandemic, school shootings, an increase in homelessness, wildfires, police brutality, systemic racism, militant nationalism and isolationism with a mix of images and news clips. “[dear universe]” also includes audio provided by the estate of Charlie Chaplin from his ‘Final Speech’ in the 1940 film The Great Dictator:

“You, the people have the power – the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Let us use that power!”

“This year has been so many levels of crazy and hurt, it’s almost impossible to stay hopeful, but we have to,” says THE RADDICAL’s founder Dann Saxton. “Humans are resilient. We’ll push through the virus and keep pushing for peace, love, and equality. Life feels stagnant now, but the future is an exciting place.”

Industrial Metal outfit CONTRACULT Collective Release New EP ‘Follow’ Produced By Arthur Rizk (Ghostemane, Power Trip)

DT: OCTOBER 30, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

INDUSTRIAL METAL OUTFIT
CONTRACULT Collective
DROP NEW EP
‘FOLLOW’
PRODUCED BY ARTHUR RIZK (GHOSTEMANE, POWER TRIP)

BAND TO PERFOM LIVE TONIGHT (10/30)
VIA COLD WAVE FESTIVAL’S
“SEASON OF THE GLITCH” VIRTUAL HALLOWEEN EVENT

ANNOUNCE AFTERSHOCK 2021 FESTIVAL APPEARANCE

“Industrial metal is back and better than ever”
–Metal Injection, 9/21/2020

Los Angeles-based industrial metal outfit CONTRACULT Collective have unveiled their new EP FOLLOW which includes two tracks—the catchy and pulverizing single “Follow” and grinding b-side track “50 Shades”–just in time to add to Halloween playlists. FOLLOW was produced by Arthur Rizk (Ghostemane, Power Trip) and comes after the self-release of their debut eight-track EP A CULT OF OPPOSITION last month. Stream/download FOLLOW today at http://smarturl.it/CONTRACULTFOLLOW.

“‘Follow’ is the product of a long weekend spent in a cold Philadelphian garage with producer Arthur Rizk,” shares CONTRACULT Collective vocalist/producer Svart. “This collaboration delivered two cuts of raw industrial metal which we felt would follow up nicely from our previous release, ‘A Cult of Opposition.’

“The title track ‘Follow’ is a self-reflection on giving space and energy to unsafe forces which drain every drop of blood from your body. Learning to establish healthy boundaries and self-preservation is a constant struggle I have bouts with every day. It can bleed me till I’m blue. It’s like salt in my wounds. We hope you f*cking freaks enjoy it, follow if you dare.”

“‘Follow’ is a juxtaposition between primitive hard beats and lush orchestrations of entangled cold guitars and synth,” says Rizk. “I loved working on it with Contracult Collective who were all about keeping everything big and harsh!”

CONTRACULT Collective was formed by Svart and guitarist Culprit and includes BX on synth/backup vocals. The band were signed to Roadrunner Records and released a series of singles and accompanying music videos including the NSFW “Hogtied,” “WDYT,” “It’s The Water” and a cover of Hole’s “Violet,” all of which were featured on their self-released debut EP. The outfit were featured as part of a mini-documentary series via The Pit What Burns in the Soul: CONTRACULT Collective discussing the relationship between the BDSM subculture and heavy music. Watch it here.

CONTRACULT Collective will take part in Chicago’s Cold Waves Festival virtual Halloween event “Season of The Glitch” tonight, October 30, performing live at 11:30 P.M. ET (8:30 P.M. PT). The festival will be streaming for FREE via Twitch at this link: http://www.twitch.tv/coldwaves2020. The band were also recently announced as part of the lineup for the annual Aftershock 2020 Festival set to take place October 7 – 10 in Sacramento, CA with headliners Metallica and My Chemical Romance.

IVA TORIC Releases Debut Album ‘The Devil’s Mark’; Shares Emotionally Charged Music Video for “Goodbye”

DT: OCTOBER 30, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

IVA TORIC
RELEASES DEBUT ALBUM
‘THE DEVIL’S MARK’
AVAILABLE NOW DIGITALLY +/OR ON GATEFOLD 2LP VINYL

SHARES EMOTIONALLY CHARGED SINGLE/MUSIC VIDEO
“GOODBYE”
TO HELP ERASE STIGMA SURROUNDING MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS

Melodic doom rock singer-songwriter-artist IVA TORIC is excited to unleash her debut album The Devil’s Mark today, October 30. Produced by Jim Kaufman (Danny Worsnop, Them Evils), its 14 tracks combine doom-laden riffs and dark folk melodies with lyrical and visual nods to various aspects of modern paganism and witchcraft. Adjacent to the release—and just in time for Halloween—IVA has also issued an evocative music video for its fifth single, “Goodbye,” which visually reflects IVA’s lifelong struggle with mental health issues and depression. It was premiered yesterday, October 29, via FolkNRock who declared that the “thought-provoking piece perfectly balances the subject’s seriousness while giving a musically pleasant listening experience of angelic vocals and heavy soundscapes.” Watch it streaming below or on YouTube HERE.

“I was inspired to write this song after learning some heartbreaking details about the tragic suicide of a thirteen-year-old boy,” shares IVA. “We have a mental health crisis in the United States. There is still a stigma against mental health conditions and treatment is rarely affordable if it is available at all. I have personally been impacted by suicides of loved ones and have suffered with suicidal thoughts myself. This song is my reflection on this darkness.”

The Devil’s Mark is available now across all digital platforms HERE.
Limited copies of the album on 2LP gatefold vinyl are also available including bundle options with an exclusive branded t-shirt and a sticker featuring the cover artwork (seen above). Get yours now directly from IVA’s webstore at www.ivatoric.com/shop.

IVA unveiled the album’s debut single “Dark Side of Me” in January 2020 with an exclusive music video premiere via KERRANG! who lauded her “syncretic approach to dark culture, mixing the organic darkness of Uada, the psychedelic hues of Soundgarden, and the goth elegance of Maria Brink.” She continued to release two more original tracks “Actions Speak Louder” (premiered via Ghost Cult Magazine) and “Finally Today” (premiered via Metal Injection) as well as a dynamic cover of Tori Amos’ “Crucify.”

The Devil’s Mark features guest musicians Gregg Cash (Josh Todd and the Conflict, ex-Dorothy) on bass, Kemble Walters (Juliette & The Licks, Aeges) on guitars, Dylan Howard (Aeges) on drums and Sasha Smith on keys.

“’The Devil’s Mark’ was born out of curiosity and exploring what I didn’t know was possible,” says IVA. “It’s my debut solo album after working in other bands and playing music non-professionally for many years. I wanted to see what I could create and how my art would impact others. I was hesitant to release this music into an uncertain world amidst a pandemic, environmental disasters, and social unrest, but now more than ever we need music to bring us together and soothe our souls. I have hope for the future–uncertain though it may be–and I hope ‘The Devil’s Mark’ finds its place in your hearts amidst the chaos.”

NEW BEAT FUND Share Cinematic Video for New Single “Look What You’ve Done;” Announce Plans for 2021 Album

DT: OCTOBER 29, 2020

FM: KELLY WALSH, SRO PR

WEST COAST ALTERNATIVE/INDIE TRIO
NEW BEAT FUND
REVEAL PLANS FOR NEW ALBUM IN 2021

DEBUT FIRST NEW MUSIC SINCE 2018 WITH
CINEMATIC MUSIC VIDEO
“LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE”
–AN INTERPOLATION OF AFI’S “THE LOST SOULS”

TRIO SHARE DETAILS ON PRODUCTION COMPANY
“THE FUND”
BASED OUT OF LEGENDARY
SOUND CITY STUDIO CENTER IN VAN NUYS, CA

West Coast-based alternative/indie trio NEW BEAT FUND have revealed plans to release a new album in spring of 2021 marking their first music since 2018’s critically acclaimed album Chillanthropy—which included two collaborative tracks alongside close friends in The Driver Era and DJ duo Two Friends. The album will be self-written and produced by the trio who run their own production company under the moniker “The Fund” out of the legendary Sound City Studio Center (Nirvana, Bob Dylan, Red Hot Chili Peppers) in Van Nuys, CA.

Today, October 28, the band are excited to share the striking and cinematic music video for their new single “Look What You’ve Done.” The track is an interpolation of the trio’s own original music mashed with rockers AFI’s 2000 single “The Lost Souls” featured on their fifth studio album The Art of Drowning.

“AFI are a huge inspiration to us, and somehow a piece of music we loved so much growing up has blossomed into a new musical landscape through our creative filter,” shares NEW BEAT FUND. “Not only is the song a proper homage to our musical roots, but it became the sonic template for the new material.”

The video for “Look What You’ve Done,” as seen below, was directed by South Korean film maker Dawn Suhyun Shim and filmed at various locations across Southern California. Taking inspiration from the classic film The Seventh Seal (1957), the video is a cinematic vignette experimenting with visual elements to express imperfection.

Stream/download “Look What You’ve Done” now at: http://smarturl.it/NBFlook

“When I first listened to the song ‘Look What You’ve Done,’ I was drawn to the inner emotional struggle,” shares Shim. “The three lifeless characters stuck in one moment draw a parallel between themselves and a mythical figure. Jeff is mounted in the water looking out to the horizon, Paul is buried in the sand gazing at the sky and Shelby is stuck in his own reflection.

“The first reference I brought to the artist was the iconic opening scene from ‘The Seventh Seal,’” Shim continues. “The knight is on the beach playing chess by himself when Death appears to inform him he is to die. Trying to outsmart Death, he challenges him to a game of chess. Like Death confronting the knight, the mythical figure in the video confronts the three lifeless characters, but in a curious way. The mythical figure feels great sympathy and releases them by connecting them.”

“In a chess game, pieces must keep moving. Similarly, life keeps moving whether you are feeling stuck. To emphasize that feeling, we experimented with an in-camera shutter effect. The motion blur aids in both the illusion of time and the feeling of isolation. When we see someone looking at their own reflection, we interpret that a person’s soul is contained in their reflection. The mirror expresses a feeling of ambiguity, when one finds his reflection it’s revealed as more of a distortion.”

(Lineup[l-r]: Paul Laliberté, Jeffrey Laliberté, Shelby Archer; Photo Credit: Dawn Shim)

NEW BEAT FUND consists of guitarist/lead vocalist Jeff Laliberté, bassist/DJ Paul Laliberté and guitarist Shelby Archer. Their debut album Sponge Fingerz was released in 2015 via Red Bull Records and was co-produced with Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5) and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Angels & Airwaves). Following its release, the band was seen on tour with acts including Blink 182, AWOLNATION and Dirty Heads in addition to appearing at several major U.S. festivals. national radio airplay, worldwide playlists, and major festivals across the US. 2018’s releas

DEBUT FULL-LENGTH ALBUM
‘TORCH THE FAITH’
OUT NOW
VIA SPENCER’S OWN 6EX RECORDS

JEREMY SPENCER, former drummer and co-founding member of Five Finger Death Punch, has unleashed a new project stemmed from the darker corners of his psyche with the industrial-tinged gothic rock band PsychoSexual. Taking the persona of front man Devil Daddy, Spencer has created a dauntless soundscape for listeners that is equal parts horror and fantasy. In celebration of the macabre for Halloween, PsychoSexual have unveiled their new charmingly grim new single “I Wanna Be The Blood In Your Cut” with an anime-inspired music video to coincide with its chorus sung entirely in Japanese. The song, taken from the band’s debut full-length album TORCH THE FAITH, premiered yesterday (October 27) via Alternative Press who dubbed it as “deftly navigating the realms of industrial metal and gothic mystery.” Watch it below or streaming on YouTube here.

“‘I Wanna Be The Blood In Your Cut’ was something that came to me one night when I was having a goth moment, missing the sounds of Type O Negative, and even the nu-wave flavorings of Gary Numan,” recalls Spencer. “I felt like doing a dark, demented kind of love song, and I think that translates very well. As I was writing the lyrics, I was visualizing them coming to life via anime, which gave me the idea for not only the video, but to also sing a chorus in Japanese. I’ve always loved touring Japan, and the language has always fascinated me, so it all came together rather organically.”

PsychoSexual’s debut full-length album TORCH THE FAITH was co-produced by Spencer and Shawn McGhee (Drowning Pool) and is out now via Spencer’s 6eX Records. It debuted at #150 in Billboard’s Top Albums and in the Top 30 for the following lists:

#5 – Current Hard Music Albums
#12 – Top New Artist Albums
#24 – Internet Albums
#29 – Record Label Independent Current Albums
#30 – Current Rock Albums

TORCH THE FAITH consists of 12 tracks including the original English-only version of “I Wanna Be The Blood In Your Cut” as well as an alternate mix featuring Type O Negative guitarist/co-lead vocalist Kenny Hickey. “I’m a fan of so many types of music—from David Bowie to Devo to black metal bands,” shares Spencer. “PyschoSexual is the outlet I’ve needed to bring all these things together in one big evil stew.”

Arizona-based rock and roll trio THE BLACK MOODS pay tribute to one of their most esteemed musical idols, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, with a fiery cover of their 1978 single “I Need To Know” from the band’s second album You’re Gonna Get It!.

“We love Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers,” shares THE BLACK MOODS vocalist/guitarist JOSH KENNEDY. “They have affected every part of what we are as a band and as songwriters. I’m hard-pressed to find a song in their catalog I don’t like, but for some reason ‘I Need To Know’ sticks out for me. That song is a BAND song. You can hear that it takes each one of them to make it come alive. That’s why I love playing it so much–it really brings the band together. We’ve played it as part of our live shows for quite a while and had an absolute blast recording it in the studio. There will never be another band like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.”

Following the release of their sophomore full-length album SUNSHINE in May via Steelhorse Entertainment/The Fuel, THE BLACK MOODS made career history by landing their first-ever Top 20 Billboard Active Rock radio charting single with its catchy, effervescent title track “Sunshine” peaking at #16. The album’s three previously released singles debuted in the Top 30 Active Rock charts: “Bad News” [#24], “Bella Donna” [#29] and “Whatcha Got [#30]. The band also landed a cover feature on their hometown weekly news outlet Phoenix New Times.

THE BLACK MOODS continued to keep the gears grinding during the pandemic by packing up their home studio and temporarily going to the Ozarks (Kennedy’s hometown) to isolate and begin writing and recording their next album with Sunshine’s Grammy-nominated producer Johnny “K” Karkazis. The band also remotely recorded a new track with legendary producer Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, The Beatles), the release of which is TBA.

Known for their galvanizing live performances—which have seen them perform alongside acts including The Doors’ Robbie Krieger, Shinedown, Jane’s Addiction, Whitesnake, Adelitas Way and Otherwise—THE BLACK MOODS will continue to safely bring their showmanship to the stage with appearances at the below listed shows and festivals:
