NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 22, 2019

For fans of Truckfighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, ZZ Top

Vancouver’s GETAWAY VAN Premiere Music Video “Lord I’ve Been Running” via TheObelisk

Self Titled Debut Out Now!

New to the Vancouver rock scene, GETAWAY VAN has been maneuvering through venues to bring their slightly out of control punky blues stoner fuzz rock to entertained audiences for the past year. Collectively, the band shares a broad taste in music and using that to their advantage it’s translated into a record full of different styles and influences that they recently released on February 23rd of this year.

With great praise for their single “Lord I’ve Been Running”, the band has put together a new music video and premiering it on TheObelisk at the following link: http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2019/04/22/getaway-van-lord-ive-been-running-video-premiere/

The band adds:

“‘Lord I’ve Been Running’ is the second single from our debut, full-length album. Written by bassist, Zack Fox, this is a song about the tribulations of life, and the toll it can take on a person. We’ve all always loved this song due to the high energy and it’s almost desperate nature. The powerful vocals and incessantly running guitars really seem to get people moving, and help make it a memorable track.  It’s certainly a song that everyone can find a connection to on a personal level, and as such, it was the natural choice for our first music video to come from this album.”   

GETAWAY VAN‘s self-titled debut album follows the band’s two 2018 released EPs, ‘Brokedown’ and ‘Burnouts’. The band showcases a sound that is foot-to-the-floor rock n’ roll sure to shake rooms like a straight piped V8. Bringing roots of stoner rock, blues, punk, and folk, GETAWAY VAN is your very own experience of controlled chaos.

The band comments:

“Welcome to the world of Getaway Van. This is our debut full-length, self-titled album. This is something that we are all really proud of. Something that all four of us have seen coming for the better part of a year and a half. Now that it’s here, we are stoked to share it with everyone. You’ll be able to pick out basically every sub-genre that’s been derived from rock in this album, with lyrical content that spans from self-loathing and depression, to love, to serial killers, to cars. We really hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it! (And as much as we REALLY enjoy playing it). Thanks for listening.”

The self-titled album is available for stream on the following platforms:
YouTube
Bandcamp
iTunes
Amazon

Show Dates:
May 11 – Vancouver, BC – Bourbon

1. Intro (4:42)
2. Branches (4:56)
3. Comin’ Back (3:54)

“Man, never thought I’d find a band that bridges the gap between Fu Manchu stoner grooves and CANCON radio rock like this.” – Hellbound

““Getaway Van” this is fun, it knows how to get in trouble, and it knows how to cover its tracks. Get it. That’s a no brainer, requiring no thought at all.” – Maximum Volume Music

“Getaway Van is a very talented band with a variety of musical styles that captures the attention of many musical tastes. These guys are good for any sort of party setting. Think warm summer nights, cold drinks and good company.” – Maehem Underground Media

“These boys put out a fine album that really showcased their abilities.” – Metal Temple

“Continuing in the same vein of Truckfighters-esque stoner rock heard on January’s Burnouts EP, we are treated to a much fuller sound on this release… It’s meatier, it’s harder, it’s heavier. If that sounds a bit pornographic, you’re not far off, because this is a dirty record — full of fuzz and viscera.” – Vancity Rockers

Vancouver’s GETAWAY VAN Is Rip Roaring & Ready To Go With New Single ‘Lord I’ve Been Running’

Self Titled Debut Out Feb 23rd

Coming from a personal place, the lyrics to the single were written by Zach Fox and it’s hard hitting with a real classic rock feel.

“This song has a little bit of everything. Some Zeppelin, ZZ Top, RHCP, all wrapped up in a Getaway Van bow.  This heavy, classic rock tune is about life taking everything out of you until you feel like you have nothing left to give.  The narrator is pleading with God/the universe/anyone who will listen, to just give him a break.”

Fans of Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters don’t have long to wait for this release:

‘Lord I’ve Been Running’ is available can be heard on Youtube and Spotify.

BIO:

Hey, we’re Getaway Van: Four fellas who are just tryin’ to make you feel like you’re flying down the side of a mountain in a speeding 80s cargo van.

It’s a very teamwork oriented approach and people can expect to not be able to look away from the bouncing and jumping around on stage complete with them occasionally taking their clothes off. Taking the desert rock vibe and making it a little aggressive and little out of control, the audience can definitely expect to have a great time.

In 2018, Getaway Van recorded two EPs, ‘Brokedown’ and ‘Burnouts’ and in February 2019 they are geared to release their debut self titled full length featuring the single ‘Lord I’ve Been Running’. It’s foot-to-the-floor rock n’ roll that shakes rooms like a straight piped V8. Bringing roots of stoner rock, blues, punk, and folk, a Getaway Van performance is your very own experience of controlled chaos.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 11, 2018

 

For fans of Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden

SHOVELHEAD Celebrate 10 Year Anniversary of “Arson & Lace” Album With New Video “Big Time Loser” via SpaceUntravel

 

L to R – Alex Rakic (Bass), Youri Targiroff (Lead Guitar), Marko Rakic (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Nikola Rakic (Drums)

A family affair comprised of the Rakic brothers, Marko (vocals, guitar), Alex (bass), Nikola (drums) along with their long time childhood friend Youri Targiroff on lead guitar, Montreal’s SHOVELHEAD have been offering sonic gems that are simply irresistible since forming in 1995.  Having toured Eastern Canada to garnering praise on the local scene to living their dreams in Southern California and back to their hometown, SHOVELHEAD has always been unstoppable with their bone crushing heavy rock to their subdued ballads.

Serenading with melodic vocal lines and a signature guitar style, the alternative rock quartet have released three full lengths Pocus Cadabra (1996), Dark Horse (1999), Arson and Lace (2007). Now after a 10 year hiatus from recording, they return in 2018 with an anniversary video “Big Time Loser” for “Arson and Lace” plus are currently working on their planned fourth full length entitled “Killer Waves”, which will be recorded once again with award winning producer/engineer/mixer Glen Robinson who has worked with names such as The Ramones, AC/DC, GWAR, Annihilator and Voivod.

Watch “Big Time Loser” via SpaceUntravel at the following link:

The band comments:

“Lyrically the song is about hope and failure. It’s about the hopefulness of youth and blind ambition followed by the reality of limitations, life and failure. It’s about setting out goals that ultimately never come to fruition and looking back at them in perspective. The reality of failure is difficult to accept and equally difficult to let go of the hope. Overall, the video is an artistic rendition of the emotions of the song. It’s in black and white to define the absolute between the hope and the failure. Not intended to be literal, but more so to emote the feelings of the song.”

SHOVELHEAD‘s latest album “Arson and Lace” plus previous releases available on www.shovelheadmusic.com, CD Baby, iTunes and all other major online retailers.

Music Video – Digital Skin – https://youtu.be/-sMpuRhL2X0

SHOVELHEAD is:
Alex Rakic (Bass)
Marko Rakic (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar)
Nikola Rakic (Drums)
Youri Targiroff (Lead Guitar)

Moonlight Desires might only play 80s cover songs, but you’d be wrong to dismiss them as just another cover band. Formed by long-time Hamilton, ON musician Trevor Ziebarth (Actor/Writer/Composer on Teletoon’s adult comedy series Sons of Butcher), Moonlight Desires is his ode to the raunchy romances and youthful misadventures of summer’s past. By re-working synth laden pop hits of the 1980s, Ziebarth manages to turn familiar guilty pleasures into modern, guitar-driven rock anthems.

Joined in the studio by drummer Dave Dunham (Not Of, DAVIDS, ex-Chore, ex-Sons Of Butcher) and lead guitarist Marco Bressette (Dead Tired, ex-Threat Signal), their new album “Just The Hits: 1981-1985” transforms timeless hits such as “Sunglasses At Night” by Corey Hart and “Something About You” by Level 42 into party rock anthems.

With Halloween here, the band has unleashed their music video for their Duran Duran cover “Hungry Like The Wolf” premiered exclusively on Rue Morgue at the following link: https://rue-morgue.com/moonlight-desires-presents-hungry-like-the-wolf/

To get your CD or cassette copy of Moonlight Desires “Just The Hits: 1981-1985”, please visit the following link on the band’s bandcamp here and for digital download, please visit iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and all major digital platforms.

“Just The Hits (1981-1985) is a short album with a very high entertainment factor.” – Disagreement.net

“this is a fun album, well executed and stubborn but respectful to the originals. I can only applaud that and advise you to check this album out.” – Merchants of Air

“This album is comprised of hard rock 80s pop covers that often border on metal, and it is every bit as fun as it sounds.” – Hellbound.ca
“It is glorious, a less tongue in cheek Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. It is the Alpha and the Omega. Life has meaning, and it’s buried in the dreams of a girl with teased hair and a boy with a tennis racket for a guitar…” – Nine Circles

“Just The Hits: 1981-1985 by Moonlight Desires is an album that I can probably guarantee that you will not hear anywhere else. One of the main aspects and memories that you will take away from this album is how entertaining the album is.” – Kingston Music Reviews

“…Moonlight Desires’ second offering is filled with the top-notch heavy covers of 80s Synth Pop classics their fans have come to expect.” – Bradmachry.ca

Teaming up with award winning producer/engineer/mixer Glen Robinson who is known for his work with such names as The Ramones, AC/DC, GWAR, Annihilator and Voivod, the EP is their first professionally recorded release.

Vocalist / guitarist Michael Roane comments:

“We are a young band, developing our style and pushing forward to provide a new sound experience. Most of the songs we have been working on for years – and have been through multiple edits and versions. This will be our first, legitimate attempt to introduce ourselves to the world – so we hope that fans will hear our songs and feel a slight familiarity to the genre, but will appreciate the unique touch we put in our songs – as we combine elements from multiple genres and use our effects to put a different perspective on old ideas. We also want people to know first and foremost our band is about creating passionate music that may resonate with other people. On the surface, we make music that has a carefully crafted intensity – like a chained beast tugging at the leash. For those who want to dig deeper, they see how this sound represents us, as people, and our struggles to reach our potential. We connect with our fans through these shared emotions.”

“Shutdown Nowhere” EP features six new crushing tracks full of introspective verse.

Roane adds “We aim to introduce ourselves by having a “new familiarity” feel to our songs. Veterans of rock and metal should be comfortable listening to our songs, but we aim to blend in elements that will surprise them.”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – September 15, 2017

For fans of Sons of Butcher, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, 80s pop hits

Sons of Butcher Creator Trevor Ziebarth Makes 80’s Pop Anthems Go Metal
w/ MOONLIGHT DESIRES New Cover Video “Valerie” via Bravewords

New Album “Just The Hits: 1981-1985” Out Now via Infamous Butcher Records

Moonlight Desires might only play 80s cover songs, but you’d be wrong to dismiss them as just another cover band. Formed by long-time Hamilton, ON musician Trevor Ziebarth (Actor/Writer/Composer on Teletoon’s adult comedy series Sons of Butcher), Moonlight Desires is his ode to the raunchy romances and youthful misadventures of summer’s past. By re-working synth laden pop hits of the 1980s, Ziebarth manages to turn familiar guilty pleasures into modern, guitar-driven rock anthems.

Joined in the studio by drummer Dave Dunham (Not Of, DAVIDS, ex-Chore, ex-Sons Of Butcher) and lead guitarist Marco Bressette (Dead Tired, ex-Threat Signal), their new album “Just The Hits: 1981-1985” transforms timeless hits such as “Sunglasses At Night” by Corey Hart and “Something About You” by Level 42 into party rock anthems.

“On our second album, Just The Hits: 1981-1985, all the songs I selected have a special place in my heart, nostalgic melodies that are still as catchy now as they were back then. It sounds weird but, when I was searching out potentials to cover, whether I was at Walmart, Shoppers Drug Mart or even at the Olympics in Russia, I kept hearing these certain songs over and over and I knew they were the ones I was meant to do! If the songs are still being played on the radio to this day, that certainly speaks to how great they are, I’m just making them heavier! To stay consistent with the nostalgic, the album is not only being released digitally and on CD, but we’ve also run a limited edition cassette, which is numbered and autographed (including a download card of course). We’re really excited about the album and hope it’s the soundtrack of every back-to-school jam this year.”says Trevor Ziebarth

With the release of the album out today on September 15, 2017, Moonlight Desires have teamed up with Bravewords.com for the premiere of their second video cover “Valerie” by Steve Winwood.

“Valerie by Steve Winwood has itself been revisited a couple times as an amped up radio mix of the original, and as a more modern dance version, but the original release and video is what we’re spoofing here.  All the green screen and camera magic he used, that may be cliche today, was new and exciting in the 80s, so we tried to have fun with that idea while still playfully tipping our cap to Mr. Winwood.”

“This album is comprised of hard rock 80s pop covers that often border on metal, and it is every bit as fun as it sounds.” – Hellbound.ca

“It is glorious, a less tongue in cheek Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. It is the Alpha and the Omega. Life has meaning, and it’s buried in the dreams of a girl with teased hair and a boy with a tennis racket for a guitar…” – Nine Circles

“…Moonlight Desires’ second offering is filled with the top-notch heavy covers of 80s Synth Pop classics their fans have come to expect.” – Bradmachry.ca

New Noise Mag Premiere EMPTY THREAT New Single “Heliophobia” + New EP “Shutdown Nowhere” Out Oct 6th

Fusing punk, post-grunge, and prog rock, Mississauga, ON’s EMPTY THREAT are an alternative band making noise in Ontario and Quebec playing shows routinely in Toronto, London, Montreal and more. Formed in 2011 by bassist Ryan Dobson and guitarist/singer Michael Roane, the duo acquired drummer David Jameson in 2014 and soon after they recruited second guitarist Matthew Roane to solidify their line up in 2015.

Wasting no time, the quartet is now planning the release of their debut EP entitled “Shutdown Nowhere” due out October 6, 2017. Teaming up with award winning producer/engineer/mixer Glen Robinson who is known for his work with such names as The Ramones, AC/DC, GWAR, Annihilator and Voivod, the EP is their first professionally recorded release.

Vocalist / guitarist Michael Roane comments:

“We are a young band, developing our style and pushing forward to provide a new sound experience. Most of the songs we have been working on for years – and have been through multiple edits and versions. This will be our first, legitimate attempt to introduce ourselves to the world – so we hope that fans will hear our songs and feel a slight familiarity to the genre, but will appreciate the unique touch we put in our songs – as we combine elements from multiple genres and use our effects to put a different perspective on old ideas.

The forthcoming “Shutdown Nowhere” EP will feature six new crushing tracks full of introspective verse.

Roane adds “We aim to introduce ourselves by having a “new familiarity” feel to our songs. Veterans of rock and metal should be comfortable listening to our songs, but we aim to blend in elements that will surprise them.”

Teaming up with New Noise Magazine, the band is premiering their second single “Heliophobia” off the EP.

The band comments:

“The song tells the tale of a girl pushed to the edge by the torment from those around her. Ridiculed for her imperfections, she learns to hate everyone around her and becomes resentful towards herself for what she has become. However, if either party had simply taken the higher road and stepped above the hate – none of this would have happened. “Heliophobia” refers to how people are afraid to seek the truth and light. They either shelter themselves away to ridicule or degrade others, or corrupt truths to use as a weapon. Sonically, this song is fast, tight, and punky. The music races and pauses only briefly to reflect upon the state the world is left in.”

To hear “Heliophobia”, please visit the following link: http://newnoisemagazine.com/stream-empty-threat-heliophobia/

Live, EMPTY THREAT delivers a very high-energy and engaging show where they often improvise extended bridges and endings to songs to hype the crowd more. They take the negativity and loathing present in their songs and ramp up the energy to a powerful force that is a memorable moment that their fans can walk away with.

Show Dates:
Sept 22 – Toronto, ON – Hard Luck Bar – info
