LOSTTHREADS | Aftermath

PULP Magazine Issue No. 192 cover artists LOSTTHREADS have released their much-awaited album Aftermath via Tower of Doom.

Aftermath follows Wake Up Your God and has been four years in the making. “These past few years have been dreadful to some extent for us and most people. There have been tragic occurrences throughout the world and we realized how corrupt the minds of some people are. We then decided that it would be the right time for us to share our own thoughts and interpretations of such situations through our music,” LOSTTHREADS have told us before the end of 2017, sharing the inspiration behind their new music. For the full interview, check out PULP Magazine Issue No. 192 (November – December 2017) and get the full story on the band’s new album.

 

LOSTTHREADS are kicking off their album tour to promote Aftermath this August 18th at The Junkyard Rock and Blues Bar in Imus, Cavite. Check out the details below:

We will be at The Junkyard Rock and Blues Bar Imus Cavite on August 18 for the first leg of the Aftermath Tour. Thanks to: Tower of Doom PULP Magazine MEDISINA

GLOC-9 and AL JAMES | “Lagi”

“Lagi” is the result of an exciting collaboration between veteran rapper Gloc-9 and up-and-coming hiphop artist Al James. “It was surreal na makatangap ng invite mula kay Gloc 9 mismo at makatrabaho yung pinapakinggan at inspiration ko mula childhood… Isang karangalan maging parte ng project na ‘to,” Al James tells PULP Magazine in an interview.

The four-track EP you didn’t know you needed. Producer Tiradxr has just given us the soundtrack to annoying situations we all have been through one way or another, whether it’s waiting as someone takes too damn long withdrawing cash from an ATM or being served plain rice with your tapsilog instead of fried rice.

DECEMBER AVENUE and MOIRA DELA TORRE | “Kung ‘Di Rin Lang Ikaw”

The latest single from December Avenue is a track featuring singer/songwriter Moira Dela Torre—a heart-wrenching collaboration waiting to happen.

BENNYBUNNYBAND | “Forbidden Song No.2: Kamandag (Pogi Problems)”

Local trio BennyBunnyBand have released a brand new music video. Released under Viva Records, the song serves as a cautionary tale, “[warning] everyone na ingatan ang mga puso at wag agad ma-fall.”

NECK DEEP | In Bloom: Versions

A favorite track from Neck Deep’s latest album The Peace and The Panic has just received a whole lot of love with the band releasing In Bloom: Versions, a digital EP with a couple re-imagined versions of the song.

“The idea for ‘In Bloom: Versions’ came very naturally, initially after our friend Tony Hancock – aka Saxl Rose – came and played sax for us in Baltimore earlier this year. It was a pure jam, but we loved it and subsequently he played for us at the NYC and LA shows of that tour because we were just really feeling the vibe it brought to the song. From there, we decided a recorded version needed to be heard by everyone. Whilst we’ve been working on this recording, our boy Tony has only gone and played live with Paramore and done dates on Warped! Honestly, Tony is the man. We’ve also been playing an acoustic rendition of it at in-store and fan events since before the album was even officially released, so it seemed obvious that we should capture the vibe of that on a proper recording as well. And thus, ‘In Bloom: Versions’ was a thing,” shared vocalist Ben Barlow on the new release.

Barlow continued, “We feel that “In Bloom” is in itself a very diverse song, and so could be taken in a number of different directions, and this mini single really showcases that. It is such an important song to us, and such an accessible, catchy, beautiful song that we felt it deserved to be heard in its various renditions, for people to fall in love and enjoy in a new way, all over again.”

In Bloom: Versions is available on iTunes, Apple Music and Spotify.

This is just the beginning.”

TROPHY EYES | The American Dream

We wish it was Friday forever, especially with the release of Trophy Eyes’ brand new album The American Dream. It is the third album to come from the Australian band, and is based on the idea that there’s still utopia left on this this planet – a place where one can start again and live a peaceful life, forsaking the trail of destruction that threatened to derail it all.

The album also serves as a coming of age fable, in which lead vocalist John Floreani takes an introspective look at who he is today. “This record is about my life in present time and a reflection on who I was and how I got here,” Floreani explains. “As much of the other Trophy Eyes works have been the hate, violence, addiction and heartbreak I fought so desperately to leave behind, this record is about shedding one’s past, transitioning from boy to man, making a home and wanting nothing more in life than to sit and enjoy the silence.”

The American Dream is out now under Hopeless Records, featuring singles “You Can Count On Me,” “More Like You,” and “Friday Forever.” Get it here.

OH, WEATHERLY | Lips Like Oxygen

Oh, Weatherly’s debut album Lips Like Oxygen is out now under Hopeless Records. Co-produced by Jake Bundrick of Mayday Parade, the album is a deeply personal and emotionally revealing debut full-length from the Texan band. “What this album means to me is more than just music or simply a combination of nice sounding chords,” shares vocalist Blake Roses.

“This album is a tribute to the lessons I have learned and to the people who mean/meant most to me,” Blake continued. “I do not regret anything I have done in my life and would not take back a single thing. I would not have made it here without these experiences driving me. That being said, I no longer expect anything from anyone but myself.”

The album is a follow-up to the band’s 2017 EP, Make You Bright, and carries the singles “Here Tonight,” “I Think I Want You,” and “Chasing California.”

Give Lips Like Oxygen a listen and get it here.

PLINI | Sunhead

Plini’s new EP Sunhead is out now. A follow-up to 2016’s Handmade Cities, the self-released four-track EP was written, recorded, and produced by the instrumental artist himself. “Many hours + much love went into putting this music together – a special thanks to my extremely talented friends: Simon, Chris, Devesh, Anomalie, John, Tim, Ermin + Alex. Enjoy!” said Plini in a message upon the release of the EP, which features the previously released track “Salt + Charcoal.”

BEARTOOTH | “Disease”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Beartooth’s third album is on its way. Titled Disease, the album is due out on September 28th, to be released through Red Bull Records. “The album is a whirlwind of emotion,” says frontman Caleb Shomo of the album. “Crazy highs, crazy lows, and lots of intensity. This record isn’t about winning anything. It’s about trying to even begin to learn how to deal with things. It’s hard to process just how dark you can get, what you can really put yourself through with expectations. It’s like starting from the beginning all over again. At the end of the day, it is a very dark album.”

 

Beartooth have also released the title track and another one called “Bad Listener” as the first singles Listen below and pre-order the album here.
