Recently returning from their European/ UK tour supporting Hed PE along with Conveyer, Canadian nerd-rockers DOUBLE EXPERIENCE reveal their new music video for their latest single “AI Freaks Me Out”. The video is a nerdy rock song about rogue artificial intelligence. The band had a lot of fun transforming their vocalist into Max Headroom (the robotic TV host from the 1980’s). “AI Freaks Me Out” will appear on the upcoming album “Rock (Geology)”, but is available now on all streaming databases and algorithms everywhere.

About: 

DOUBLE EXPERIENCE have performed across 15 countries, playing everywhere from video game museums to tattoo conventions to Ottawa and Montreal ComicCons as well as many other gatherings such as MAGFest and GuardianCon 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. The band recently released their FACTOR-funded single / music video, “The Pilot” off their upcoming fourth album “Rock (Geology)” to follow 2016’s break out, “Unsaved Progress”, an album that included their much loved single “The Glimmer Shot”; a Destiny-themed rock anthem, which earned them accolades from the creators of the video game itself plus their cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla”.

“Their new album is upbeat and full of awesome tracks, leading straight into the first song, ‘So fine‘, which instantly gets you into the mood of this album.” – Ram Zine (UK)

“Verifying my “nerd” suspicions, they began and closed an original song with Darth Vader’s theme, the Imperial March, and I couldn’t have been happier about it. In addition to their set of mainly original music, they also included a cover of Blue Oyster Cult’s Godzilla, which was fitting with their stoner vibe, especially considering there is also a Fu Manchu version.” – Spotlight Ottawa

“this band is passionate about video games which is reflected in the underlying themes of their music. More apparent to non-video game savvy listeners is that Double Experience are a solid rock band with well crafted and catchy tunes that have crossover appeal to fans of different music genres.” – Forget The Box
 

“The songs on this, 9 track, album are narrative driven and mammoth in proportion. Songs like ‘AAA‘ and ‘Godzilla‘ are glorious sagas of esoteric depth. There is a power on this album that is both new and old.” – 925 Rebellion

0 NEWS: SPECIAL OPS Announce Canadian Tour Dates + New EP Out Now! “Baby Take It All”

SPECIAL OPS Announce Canadian Tour Dates + New EP Out Now! “Baby Take It All”

Rocking out of the barracks, SPECIAL OPS are returning to the frontline after a small hiatus and battle by one of their original founder’s fight against cancer along with a line up change that sees guitarist Weka BW joining the platoon. The band will be embarking on their first cross Canada tour in 10 years in support of their two new EPs “Baby Take It All” and “Tangents” both released six months apart from each other. The tour will be kicking off in their hometown of Montreal on September 23rd and wrap up in Ottawa on November 5th (dates listed below).

Vocalist / guitarist Akbar Johnson comments:

“Can’t wait to hit the road after all this time. It’s been great playing lots of shows around Quebec and Ontario, but it’s time to head out to the rest of Canada and where the real party is at!”

Capturing three jaw dropping tracks that display a fusion of its members’ diverse cultures, “Baby Take It All” is SPECIAL OPS‘ eighth self-produced release with mixing done by Darius Szezepaniak (Sum 41, Big Sugar, Sacrifice) and mastering by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope).

From Akbar Johnson’s fierce melodic vocals backed by a well-armed rhythm section of Weka BW’s intricate native Middle Eastern influence of guitar finger picking and strumming to Waldo Thornhill’s thumping bass and drummer Pat Kadaver’s (ex-The Brains) pounding fury, SPECIAL OPS in less than 6 months have unleashed two direct hits with their latest EPs “Take It All” and “Tangents”. The EPs follow their award winning album “Through The Heart Of The Infidel” and older successful singles “Pressure” and “Anger” that was chosen as the theme song for “The Sid Cycle Show” (Global/Spike/Men TV).

“Baby Take It All” as well as “Tangents” capture the hearts and minds of those who have struggled in protest and demonstrates the trial and tribulations they as a band have seen. Everything from one member’s cancer ordeal through tour to lost loves to industry bullshit that the everyday artist struggles with. SPECIAL OPS bring forward in their international collective, an explosive return to their brand of punk metal sniper rock.

SPECIAL OPS’ new EP “Baby Take It All” was released in May 16th and is now available on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby.

“Like Special Ops, the video kicks ass, gives no quarter and takes no prisoners… Special Ops has it going on! “Baby Take It All” is real rock and roll: raw, arrogant and in your face. This is a great song and an excellent video. I like it!” – Huffington Post

“Their creative impulse is one part measured criticism, one part unadulterated rage… Their albums reflect as much, reveling in social critiques that relent only when A.K.’s singing dissolves into frustrated screams. The single is their first step towards a brighter, more radio-friendly sound, yet still maintains their throaty, hard rock edge.” – Alternative Addiction

“As seen by the music video above, these guys bring the timeless heavy rock groove of bands like Monster Magnet, and Eagles of Death Metal, so you’re know you’re in for a good time.” – MetalInjection

“These dudes use a mix of vintage and modern gear, from classic Charvel guitars to custom Warwick fretless basses. As their guitarist and singer AK Johnson says, “We’re somewhat of gearholics”. Sounds like they’ll be right at home here.” – Gear Gods
