From L-R: Ryan Ast (Bass); Jeff Burwash (Drums) ; Juice E. Jensen (Percussion); Garret Niven (Vocals/ Guitar); El Niven (Vocals/ Guitar)
From Nashville to Seattle, from California to The Carolinas, Edmonton, AB’s favourite rock roots band Stone Iris has taken their music far and wide. Wrapping up four North American tours since 2011 and recently being nominated ‘Group of The Year’ for the Edmonton Music Awards, the road nomads have posted their latest music video ‘Longview’, which is a compilation of tour / road footage. ‘Longview’ is the third single off the band’s latest and second album release from 2013 ‘Grande National’, which was recorded while the band was in Louisville, KY on their 2013 spring tour. Featuring 14 tracks through blues and rock reggae doused in groove and North American nostalgia, the album is the follow up to their eighth studio recording ‘Kicking The Can’.
The album is available on iTunes, Bandcamp, CD Baby and all major online retailers.

After a small hiatus due to health issues from a tumor in a carotid artery and an Ectopic pregnancy, Vancouver’s punk rocking zombie hunting Kill Matilda hasn’t let the odds against them stop the band from an ass-kicking mission to Punk, Zombie and Rock n’ Roll across Canada and unleash their six song EP/ re-release ‘#Punk#Zombie#RocknRoll’ officially out this week as of March 4th.
“I have a guitar, I have a microphone. One week out of my hospital bed, I will meet you onstage.” Dusty Exner (vocalist/guitarist) Read more at ‘A Rocky Start, A Re-commitment’ – http://trailerparkdusty.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/a-rocky-start-a-recommitment/
The EP features tracks from their 2011 full-length album ‘I Want Revenge’ with an acoustic rendition of ‘Geisha With A Switchblade’ and is accompanied by a comic book created by vocalist/guitarist Dusty Exner.
“I am excited to announce that we will be providing a free download link for everyone along with a comic that I drew by hand to accompany the release. The comic book features 17 beautiful hand-drawn colored pieces of art, which is a lot of work for anyone but is a special challenge for me since this month I’ve had a long-awaited, much-anticipated, badly-needed formal diagnosis of ADHD.” comments vocalist/guitarist Dusty Exner.

“Kill Matilda may be the best punk band you haven’t heard of. Based out of Canada and solely a DIY band, it’s very possible this female-fronted fist full of punk fury has flown under your radar. Not anymore, though. Their latest release, the #Punk#Zombie#RocknRoll EP is a throwback to the classic punk movement with a little bit of horror rock mixed in, serving as an impressive tribute to The Misfits (not that new “Misfits” crap- the real Misfits).” – The Front Row Report
“Opening up with Pomegranate and through to I Want Revenge hints of The Misfits and The Cramps instantly emerge from this vigorous group. Zombie Apocalypse and Law Abiding Citizen continue the mayhem through to the penultimate track PBJ which typifies your current day zombie. What really caught my attention was the final track Geisha With A Switchblade, this is a powerful depictive of the ultimate in revenge to a bad guy whilst enjoying every last detail. Check below the new video for Law Abiding Citizen and enjoy, if you’re nearby any venues these guys are tearing then get yourself down for a set of carnage!” All About The Rock UK
“if there’s one thing thing guaranteed to wake the slumbering beast from the annual hibernation it’s some gravelly voiced and quite frankly excellent punk. If you like Hole, The Misfits or The Offspring (and Yeah, Yeah Yeahs,) and let’s face it who doesn’t, then these guys are right up your alley…down and dirty punk with sexy riffs and a promise of blood, fists and stomping buy this on March 4th. You won’t regret it.” – Wyrd Ways Show Review
“The EP is packed full of high energy, powerful tracks. I personally find that the band makes you feel like you are at their show, rocking out with them. It’s a mix of songs that gives you chills and makes you feel empowered by just listening.” – Canadian Beats

Also in the plans for 2014, the band will be releasing their yet to be titled follow up EP produced by producer extraordinaire Garth Richardson.
“The amazing attention of Garth Richardson! Although this man has produced so many amazing albums and we’re not the only band getting some attention and love, he took the extra steps to personally engineer our new album, which is something he has not done in like, 10 years or something. That makes me feel very, very special.” says KM vocalist/guitarist Dusty Exner.
