0 Metal Temple – Ilyrian – Round 2: Fight!
Think new, think fresh, and hear ILLYRIAN!…. the entire album is truly excellent. If you’re a Thrash Metal fan, or even a Metal fan with good taste, “Round 2: Fight!” is the right album for you.

0 Shockwave Mgazine – Jupiter Hollow – Odyssey
When I read the description for Jupiter Hollow, I will admit I was somewhat skeptical and intrigued at the same time…I honestly wasn’t sure how a Prog duo, whose sound has been compared to bands such as Pink Floyd, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and RUSH, could pull that off with only two members…..I was completely blown away by the talent of these two young men, 21 and 18 respectively. Odyssey is strong both musically and lyrically which is a testament to their talent at their ages. The EP has everything a prog fan could ask for. There are time changes, tempo changes, a story-like feel, and tons of emotions.

From track to track you can expect nothing less than destructive, headbanging and intense tunes for the next thirty plus minutes.

NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – March 8, 2017
For Fans of Husker Du, The Ramones
FREE Download: Vancouver’s GNASH RAMBLER Premiere ‘Man Over’ via ThePunkSite
Debut Self-Titled Album Out March 31st
All great bands have a great name and Vancouver, BC’s splendidly-named GNASH RAMBLER is no exception. Their name is a combination of that of a classic car and vocalist Nick Venditti’s habit of gnashing his teeth! Their superb brand of ‘hooky punk rock / metal- tinged power pop’ is a unique musical vision.
“The music we do betrays my own obvious musical influences: The Ramones, Motorhead, Husker Du, The Who and the Beatles.”
comments vocalist Nick Venditti.
The band’s debut self-titled album is due out on March 31st and before it drops, the band has teamed up with ThePunkSite.com for the FREE download of their second single ‘Man Over’.
Venditti comments on the track:
“Manover is heavily influenced by a haunting watercolor by Winslow Homer call Gulf Stream, and mated to a riff that was the product of much live jamming. I am a terrible swimmer.”
Listen and download ‘Man Over’ at the following link: http://thepunksite.com/news/punk-site-exclusive-free-download-from-gnash-rambler/
Venditti also promises the best is yet to come from GNASH RAMBLER.
“Many of these songs had been around for a long time and I had a terrific opportunity to get them down for posterity. The next album will have even more musical stylistic diversity than this one, but will still possess the big post-punk rock sound that is at the heart of what we’re doing. Many of the songs are just me reflecting on where we’re going these days. The anxiety felt by so many folks on account of all the crazy things going on in the world and even crazier things going on closer to home. We have probably always lived in interesting times, but because of technology our ability to be aware is always going to be at odds with how we process our feelings.”
GNASH RAMBLER‘s self-titled debut album is available for pre-order on Bandcamp and will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify and all major online retailers as of March 31st.

Inspired by Local H, Shellac, Brand New, Refused, and Death From Above 1979, COPE consists of Mickey Hayward on drums and Tyson Wiebe on guitars and vocals. It’s all about the power of two and COPE is truly powerful. Some of the best creative work has been the result of collaboration between two people, with artistic minds refining and exchanging ideas, with the fluidity and flexibility of the pair creating something truly special. Hayward describes COPE as “loud, thoughtful, noisy, calm and unpredictable.”
COPE came into being in an organic fashion.
The first fruits of COPE’s creativity will appear on vinyl, cassette and digital download on April 21, 2017 via their indie label Norwegian Blue Records as an introduction to give listeners a sonic interpretation of what the band is. The EP was engineered live off the floor at Norwegian Blue Studio in Lethbridge, AB under the watchful eye of Chris Lipinski (Atomicos, Lustre Creame) and Q (Supervoid, Stellar Radio Choir). The EP was mixed by Jesse Northey (The Betrayers, Diamond Mind) and mastered by KRAMER (Gwar, Galaxie 500).Teaming up with PureGrainAudio.com, COPE is premiering their first single ‘Mother Russia’ at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/cope-pay-tribute-to-mother-russia-with-new-single-exclusive-premiere
The duo comments on the track:
“This one is a post-punk inspired track about lovers on either side of the iron curtain. Heavy guitars led by drums that start fast and end fast.”
There is much more music to come from COPE. The three tracks on the EP are from the duo’s first writing sessions and they are a strong representation of what the band sounds like. They have more material that they play live and are constantly writing as they plan for a full-length to be released later this year.

“Noisy, swelling guitar and heavy, yet articulated drums; played without a plan by Tyson Wiebe and Mickey Hayward. Longtime collaborators, friends, and members of Mormon Girls are taking their focus back to their main instruments to at the very least, Cope. Ingredients: Drums, Guitar, Energy.” – Electric Eye Music Festival
