Formed simply as a creative outlet in which there are no rules, Orillia, ON’s TANGENTS plays music with the idea of no constraints, no guidelines, and producing what they would want to hear. Releasing their fourth EP entitled “Molt” this past April, Tangents announces they will be hitting the road this coming July for tour dates across Eastern Canada in Ontario, Quebec, New Brwunwick, and Nova Scotia. (dates listed below).

With elements of mathcore, prog, and post-hardcore, Tangents take you on a brutally honest journey with nothing to hide during an emotional and heavy 10 minutes on their latest EP’s three tracks. The band’s goal is to keep the listener on their toes, along with themselves as musicians. Keeping things fresh and ever evolving.

“For this EP, we decided on the 3 songs simply to capture that specific moment in time. I feel that there’s always room for growth, so we constantly keep evolving, we’re stoked and proud to release Molt. With our most focused effort, we present to fans a multitude of experiences in a compact timeframe. This offering allowed us to open and embrace challenges and overcome the obstacles that come with growth,” adds guitarist Will Tennant.

Taking pride that each member of the band is a multi-instrumentalist, Tangents are a bare bones heavy band, and at the end of the day, they get up there and rock out live to showcase very visceral songs. It’s a roller coaster of emotions throughout each track.

Recommended for fans of avant-garde mathy metal and bands such as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mr Bungle, Every Time I Die, Dog Fashion Disco, and Better Lovers, Tangents’ new EP “Molt” is available at the following links:

Humorcore Masters PSYCHOSTICK To Reveal New Album Details via Band Webcast September 18th

Broadcasting on Thursday, September 18th 8pm central time at http://www.psychostick.com/webcast

“Psychostick new album preview, album title, track titles, live Q&A and taste of new tunes!”

Fans of the ever-growing comedic metal band PSYCHOSTICK will have a special treat this week. Nine months after a successful crowd-funding campaign to build a studio with promise of new material, PSYCHOSTICK is ready to give the first sneak-peek at what they’ve been working on. The guys will be broadcasting live on YouTube September 18th at 8pm Central (http://www.psychostick.com/webcast) to announce the new album’s title, answer questions, give away prizes and have an all-around good time goofing off with fans.

“We feel we’ve stepped up our game with every aspect of this new album, and we’re treating the webcast the same way. Fans have always loved these webcasts in the past, but this time there are some serious improvements to maximize interaction and make it something no fan will want to miss.” comments vocalist Rob Kersey.

The new album is the follow up to the humorcore kings’ 2011 album ‘Space Vampires VS Zombie Dinosaurs in 3-D’ and singles ‘Obey The Beard’ (debut at #14 on US radio metal charts), ‘Dogs Like Socks’, a hilarious metal cover of ‘Reading Rainbow’. Touring around the US of A over the years spreading their laugh making tunes, PSYCHOSTICK was on a series of tours in 2014 recently wrapping their Blood Sprinkles and Guts Tour with One Eyed Doll, Wild Throne plus were on ‘The ‘Merica Fuck Yeah Tour’ w/ Dog Fashion Disco, The Bunny, The Bear and the Mad Marchness Tour, which included a stop at SXSW.

About:

Harnessing their crazy sense of humor and love of all things metal, vocalist Rob “Rawrb” Kersey and guitarist Josh “The J” Key joined forces with drummer Alex “Shmalex” Dontre and bassist Matty J “Moose” to create Pyschostick, a band they’ve coined as humorcore. With hilarious lyrics, heavy riffs, notorious stage antics and high-energy performances, the band has caused millions of laughs around the world and hundreds of mosh pits across the US, often simultaneously, since its birth in Phoenix, AZ in 2000.

Almost 100 percent do-it-yourself, Psychostick never strays from its signature sound, a combination of heavy music that Chimaira, Machine Head, and Hatebreed would be proud of, and wit and humor that would make Tenacious D and Weird Al Yankovic holler with laughter.

With three full-length albums behind them – “We Couldn’t Think of a Title,” “Sandwich,” and their holiday album, “The Flesh Eating Rollerskate Holiday Joyride” – the band released their latest record, “Space Vampires vs. Zombie Dinosaurs in 3D,” in 2011, following it up with a tour with Mushroomhead to add to their total count of 21 nationwide tours that have hit 47 states.

After a successful 2013 that saw these touring ninja warriors hit the road for multiple shows on the ‘Our Tour Can Beat Up Your Tour’, ‘Blow Your Fingers Off’ summer tour, their late summer dates with American Head Charge plus appearances at summer fests that included Rockapalooza, A2 Fest, Breast Fest Biker Bash, and Dirtfest. The band finally took a break in last months of the year and held a successful crowd funding campaign (thank you video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSeQHqMCfJI), where they recorded their follow up to 2011’s ‘Space Vampires vs. Zombie Dinosaurs In 3D’.

Psychostick comments:

“We’re just doing our part to encourage reading to the youth of the nation.”

In additional news, the humorcore masters will be raging across the US for their ‘The ‘Merica F*ck Yeah Tour’ kicking off in Amityville, NY on May 29th and wrapping up in St. Louis, MO on June 27th. The band will be joined by Dog Fashion Disco and The Bunny The Bear.

Psychostick guitarist Josh “The J” Key comments:

“It’s an honor to be touring with the legendary Dog Fashion Disco. Add The Bunny The Bear to the mix, and it’s going to be a ridiculously fun show, you won’t want to miss this unless your legs have been chopped off. No, I take that back: legs chopped is no excuse… be there! As for me personally, it’s also been a while since we played the West coast… it’s about time we get back to somewhere that knows how to make a decent chimichanga!”

Psychostick is currently working tireless days and nights to complete their follow up release to 2011’s ‘Space Vampires vs. Zombie Dinosaurs In 3D’ after reaching their crowd funding goal of 30,000 to record their forthcoming album and build a new recording studio based in Chicago, IL.
