DOUBLE EXPERIENCE To Play VooDoo RockFest This Fall! + July Ontario/ Quebec Tour Dates

New Album ‘Unsaved Progress’ Out Now!

 

Album Stream – Unsaved Progress – Listen here.
Music Video ‘So Fine’ – Watch here.
Music Video ‘The Glimmer Shot’ (tribute to video game ‘Destiny’) – Watch here.

Ottawa’s nerdy rock trio DOUBLE EXPERIENCE will be joining this year’s line up for VooDoo Rockfest in Napanee, ON taking place from September 23rd to 25th. The 3 day Rockfest features many original and tribute bands that are both local and from the surrounding area. DOUBLE EXPERIENCE will be performing on September 24th alongside The Damn Truth, Metronome Jones, Amberwood, Listen Up Kid and more. Full details here.

In additional news, the band recently returned from their tour across the UK and will be hitting the road for dates in Ontario and Quebec this coming July in support of their newly released third studio album ‘Unsaved Progress’. The Canadian tour will have Pokemon-themed cocktails to Game Boy duels with their fans at the band’s merch table. (dates listed below)

And in case ya missed it… the boys recently teamed up with Exclaim! for the premiere of their video tribute doing their best Weezer impression in front of a green screen that’s blue. It’s a playful riff on the beloved Blue Album song ‘Buddy Holly’ and an impressive homage to Rivers Cuomo and the gang.

“Weezer helped nerdy or quirky rock bands like ourselves to find our voice,” says Brock Tinsley, guitarist, “they proved that rock and roll doesn’t have to act or sound a specific way. That’s the essence of our whole band.”

DOUBLE EXPERIENCE’s third studio album entitled “Unsaved Progress” was released on April 8th via their label Colfax Music. Taking the next step from their previous album – initially released exclusively on collectible trading cards, the band utilizes classic video-game inspired artwork and packaging. The album was brought to life with the help of Al Jacob and Kit Walters (HE IS LEGEND) at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Prior to the creation of “Unsaved Progress”, Double Experience were busy performing across 15 countries, playing everywhere from video game museums to tattoo conventions as well as showcases at Canadian Music Week and Indie Week Canada. Their adventures have been supported by international radio, festivals and television alike, culminating with an entire nerd-rock exposé and performance on Global TV in Canada.

Album orders are now available at the band’s merch store here. A deluxe edition of the album – boasting two unreleased songs, two acoustic remixes, merch discount codes, studio footage and a brand new trading card – is also available for the fastidious Double Experience collector.

0 Wicked Channel – Sludgehammer – The Fallen Sun

  • July 4, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Sludgehammer

What an impressive and brutal album….Sludgehammer is one of those bands who are going to win you over, no matter how you go into listening to this record. Sludgehammer is a “ I don’t give a fuck” type of band and it shows song by song. This album just feels so epic, from the riffs to the impressive vocals. This album could be dedicated to the people who feel their heroes of the past have abandoned them in hopes of gaining radio exposure. This is just unrelenting throttle to the ground hard as heavy fucking metal.
