  • · krepitus

De spetterende riffs en beukende drums vliegen je werkelijk waar om de oren, samen met honds-agressieve scream’s en diepe grunts mag je wel zeggen dat het hier gaat om een succesvol debuut….Verfrissend, hard, snel; en daarmee een zeer vakkundig staaltje muziek.

The smashing riffs and pounding drums fly you really true to the ears, along with canine-aggressive scream and deep grunts you can say that this is a successful debut …. Refreshing, hard, fast; and thus a highly professional piece of music.

THE PRESS GANG Offer Free David Bowie Tribute Track ‘Dagger For The Eye’ via PureGrainAudio

      THE PRESS GANG recently released their fifth studio album ‘Medusa 5’ via their indie label Wiener Dogs. The ten track release showcases one of Calgary’s most talked about bands and their blend of heavy riffing punk, heavy metal and hard rock. Teaming up with PureGrainAudio.com, these rabble-rousers are offering fans a free download of ‘Dagger In The Eye’, the album’s first track and homage to one of the world’s greatest musical geniuses David Bowie.

Vocalist / guitarist Colin McCulloch comments:

“One of my biggest musical influences was David Bowie. His passing, and the way he checked out with his final album was nothing short of spellbinding, inspiring, and very humbling. This song is a tribute to the man and his work ethic, and a brute reminder that we are all indeed mortal. Life is short. Sing your OWN song, make your OWN mark upon the world. Let this be a call to arms to do just that each and every one of us. What this man did with his life creatively is staggering.”

About:

Formed in 2006, lead-vocalist Colin McCulloch explains how he named the band. ‘In history class I learned what a Press Gang was. When a ship was low on personnel they’d sail into a port, and send to shore a Press Gang, a band of men with the intent of ‘pressing’ men into service to replenish the crew. They’d often wait outside a pub for local drunkards, whom they’d crack over the head and stuff into a burlap sack. When the poor sod would wake up, he’d be at sea, part of the new crew! That, to me, sounded like how an aggressive band should gain new fans.’

Lyrically, The Press Gang draws on the state of the world around us, observing wisely. ‘A lot of the songs are metaphors for the state of affairs regarding the human condition. Especially of late with the continuing trend of Political Correctness being perverted into what is today increasingly the divide with Neo Liberalism and the Right Wing and its ever-changing redefinition of terms. It’s a massive grey area, and while we have all the tools to better communicate, it would seem we do less and less of it successfully. The screen has no quality over actual human interaction and tone of voice.’

While this fifth album ‘MEDUSA-5’ released on October 12th, 2016 shows the band at the top of their game, live they slay! ‘We like to engage the crowds and employ our early punk ethic strategy…We like to string them together like a 1,2,3 punch, give them a small chance to breathe and hit ‘em again immediately with another three songs in a row. Playing our material with the utmost intensity is always our goal for a live show. People will remember catchy riff and songs, but they’ll really remember when you kick their ass with sonic force!’

“The Press Gang knows how: loud riffs and never knowing when to quit.” – Beatroute

“…high energy, fun and really refreshing to hear.” – Absolute Underground

“Optimal Running Speed is a straight-up, hard rock album garnished with a metal-punk twist. Heavy guitar riffs, accompanied by raspy, harmonized vocals cover the metal influence; the underlining quick tempo is pure punk. At first listen, it may not seem as raw as their previous albums as there’s less grit than featured on earlier recordings.” – Beatroute

New Music Book: ‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’ By Antonio Ponce


The only ‘how to’ books that matter are by those who’ve experienced what they’re writing about, who have been in the trenches under fire, and Antonio Ponce most certainly has, applying years of musical experience to produce a fine book wisely titled ‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’, to enable up-and-coming bands to ascend the ladder of success, in his own words, it’s a “lean valuable quick simple guide.”

Based on his band’s experience from playing his first show to six months later being invited to play a festival in Tokyo, Japan, Antonio Ponce has put together a how to book for anyone wanting to enter the music business. The book is a great starting point for those interested in the business side of the music industry. Think of it as a quick business foundation musicians can use to get things going.

All musicians want to share what they’ve created, but talent will only get them so far. There are a lot of talented people out there that don’t make it to the next level and are never heard. This book’s goal is to give musicians a good foundation to be ready for when opportunity knocks, but also to bring opportunity to their door.

Ponce explains:

“I would have loved to have this information when our band started. There were so many unanswered questions that took years of searching and experience to learn. If this book had existed back then, we could have leaped over the fire instead of trying to walk through it! I know a lot of new and current bands stuck on the ‘what to do next?’ question will find value in the book’s contents. I hope this book is a tool musicians can use to help them get into a position to get to the next level and notice what we were able to do as an unknown band and that they can do it too!”

The book was inspired by multiple experiences Ponce had over the years, but it was a conversation he had with a fellow musician that began the idea for the book.

“It was a combination of several things. One of the biggest was an interaction I had with a musician. We were at a conference in the U.S. and ended up seated next to each other. He was from my city and their band had been around for years, longer than my band. He was telling me how their band had just gotten on iTunes and how that was a really big thing for them. I thought to myself, this was something I could do in five minutes. A lot of conversations like that happened and I realized I knew how to do a lot of things really quickly that would really help a lot of musicians move forward.”

‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’ is now available both digitally and paperback on Amazon here and AP Jones Publishing here.
