Premiering their speed infused punk thrashing anthem ‘Hogtown’ just last week, Toronto, ON’s The Rough Boys are now offering the track as a FREE download via PureGrainAudio.com at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/the-rough-boys-hogtown-free-song-download
Vocalist / bassist Tom Gervais comments:
“This is our song dedicated to our hometown, Toronto. The stories are true…never mind all the alt rock shoegaze hipster shit. We come from Hogtown. We are The Rough Boys.”
There are no Rock and Roll prerequisites for one to enjoy The Rough Boys, taking their name from a Neil Young lyric – ‘All those rough boys, playin’ that rock and roll. The band’s third EP ‘Blood, Booze And Gasoline‘ offers bluesy stoner rock songs in a punk metal setting, thus putting them somewhere in a grey area of the heavy music world, but if it’s an alternative to most of today’s metal genres you’re looking for, you got it!
This EP is packed with aggression and emotion sure to leave you in both shock and awe while forcing you to press ‘Play’ again and again. Release date is July 22, 2014.
The band has shared the stage with Cauldron, Fuck The Facts, Axxion, Midnight Malice, Adrenechrome, Saigon Hookers to name a few.

“A collision of soul-scorching hard rock with speed-fueled thrash metal. This is music that’s loud, dirty, raw, and played at a breakneck pace. Just think Motorhead crashing head-on with Slayer.”- Exclaim Magazine
“Hide your daughters, hide your wives, The Rough Boys are coming to town and they aren’t discreet!”” – Uysfaber.com
“…great sounding mixture of thrash and punk rock and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band.”- Extreme Underground Music Zine

Out Now! Progressive Meta-Jazz UNBEING Unleash FREE Download of New EP ‘Raptus’
L-R – Martin Labelle – Keyboard | Jean-Philippe Bédard – Drums | Alexandre D’Amour – Bass | Sherif El-Maghraby – Guitar
Unleashed this week on July 1st, Montreal, QC’s instrumental progressive metal masters UNBEING are offering up their latest creation and EP ‘Raptus’ as a FREE download for the month of July at the band’s official website Unbeingmusic.com.
“This EP is instrumental music with the freedom to experiment as a soundtrack for a range of emotions, think of it as Meta-Jazz.” comments guitarist Sherif El-Maghraby
The follow up to their 2011 self-titled debut, the EP is an odyssey of nearly 20 minutes featuring four tracks titled Rapture, Batterie Faible, Tetris Rufus and 2nd Cup that were inspired by a scenario of a listener riding the city’s Metro subway line and continues with the band’s innovation and daring evolution. Testing their limits of creative compositions once again, RAPTUS’ purpose is to transport you both physically and emotionally; from the claustrophobic Montreal underground to the open expanses of the mind. Flowing through the ear drums of listeners, this EP is a musical journey of progressive metal meant to be heard from beginning to end in a true audio experience.

About: It’s March of ‘06. The world is asleep. Everything is still. No one is aware that a massive shift in the planet’s tectonic plates has given birth to a juggernaut. Fate has set three individuals on a collision course, their union shaking the very foundations of reality and sound.
Rising out of Montreal’s bubbling metal underground, it can be said that Unbeing have been through it all. Starting out as a three-piece, members came and went, two demos were released to an overwhelmingly positive response, the band won Metal Académie 2 – a two-month-long competition where the band impressed both the audience and esteemed metal judges such as Kataklysm to take home top honors – then decided to shake things up again. Taking the judges’ advice to heart, Unbeing opted to no longer continue sacrificing their creative liberties, removing vocals all-together to finally discovered its true nature in the form of a five-piece ProgEpic InstruMetal band.
But alas, five years after the birthing cries of Unbeing tore holes in the fabric of space and time, individually and as a whole, they have overcome hardships, laughed in the face of danger and stomped on the charred corpse of impossibility. In 2011, the band released its debut full-length album spanning 40 minutes of instrumental offering before solidifying its name in the metal community as a five-piece outfit. Two years later it was re-released, re-mixed and re-mastered on vinyl in September 2013.
Now in 2014, the fast-paced four-piece master composers return with their follow up EP ‘Raptus’, a four track 20 minute odyssey, which takes place in the Montreal Metro and in the mind of the listener transporting them both physically and emotionally; from the claustrophobic Montreal underground to the open expanses of the mind. With UNBEING, anything is possible.

DISPARAGER Unleash New Lyric Video ‘RIP Bill Hicks’ On Blank TV; NYC Show Date w/ Sworn Enemy July 12th; New EP Out ‘Timeless, Ageless’

Brooklyn, NY’s post rock metal band DISPARAGER has unleashed a new lyric video via Blank TV for their track ‘RIP Bill Hicks’ off their recently released debut EP ‘Timeless, Ageless’ produced by Jay Maas (Defeater, Bane, H2O, American Nightmare, Polar Bear Club) at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVGAWd57KFs
In additional news, DISPARAGER will be opening support for hardcore aggressors Sworn Enemy on July 12th in NYC at Blackthorn 51 alongside Thorn Constellatin, Fate Breaks Dawn, Mala Entrana, Apparition, Halo To Havoc and Risers (full show details below).
DISPARAGER will be performing the following show dates in support of their debut EP ‘Timeless, Ageless’.
Show Dates:
July 12 @ Blackthorn 51 – Elmhurst, NY w/ Sworn Enemy, Thorn Constellation, Fate Breaks Dawn, Mala Entrana, Apparition, Halo To Havoc, Risers
Formed just last year, DISPARAGER has always had the crazy notion that music is art and that art is never a means to an end but an end in itself. As an extension of frontman Chris AhKao regaining his life from personal demons, this debut EP is a testament to that. Bursting with dense rawness and precision while pushing the boundaries of metal with tracks like “At Least I Still Have Bon Iver” – half folk song, half crushing mix of Isis and Slayer – and “Pictures” – a time signature mindfuck the band is proud NOT to call prog rock. The music is meant to showcase a refusal to settle, to compromise, to live any other life than that inspired by unwavering intent, self-expression and integrity.
