THE BLOODY HELL Shares Stop-Motion Music Video “When You’re Gone”

Halifax, Canada’s The Bloody Hell has a new full-length in the works to follow their award-nominated 2018 self-titled debut album (Loud Recording of the Year” – Nova Scotia Music Awards 2018), and as they currently work on the sophomore release, they are sharing with fans a new music video for the single “When You’re Gone”.

The band has teamed up once again with stop motion animator Diane Lindo who also did their 2019 video “Out of Our Minds“, which was nominated for an Independent Music Video of The Year Award by Dropoutentertainment.ca.

“When You’re Gone” is a glimpse of what’s to come from the forthcoming, yet to be titled second album. It’s a dark love song that finds hope in a horrible situation, musically reflected with the grit and aggression of classic punk rock but with pop undertones of earworm melodies. The track was recorded at award-winning New Scotland Yard Studio in Dartmouth, NS during the summer of 2020.

The video can be viewed via The Bloody Hell‘s YouTube channel – https://youtu.be/FjE2iDebguY

Formed in 2017, The Bloody Hell has gotten dirtier and more polished at the same time, with the band infecting fans with their pop-cultural hooks and concepts, while the guitars keep getting louder and the vocals becoming uglier.

Suitable for a variety of fans, The Bloody Hell cites influences ranging from Misfits, Nirvana and Motorhead, anyone who enjoys a fun and dirty romp with a bull horn of grungy vocals.

The Bloody Hell‘s previous releases can be found on the following platforms: Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify.

The Bloody Hell is what would happen If George Thorogood sang for the Misfits but all the songs were written by Tom Petty. Super catchy horror rock songs about drinking and heartache played at punk rock speed.

THE BLOODY HELL Question The US Political Climate w/ New Single “Nobody Cares About America Anymore”

Video Premiere via PunkNews

It’s been two years since Halifax, Canada’s The Bloody Hell released their award-nominated (Loud Recording of the Year” – Nova Scotia Music Awards 2018) self-titled debut album and now they are ready to end the apocalypse known as 2020 with a taste of their new single “Nobody Cares About America Anymore”.

Striking deep into the heart of American culture, the new track is a raw force with melodic intensity. It may seem from its title that it’s an attack on not giving concern for their neighbours to the south, but it is the opposite, a political statement, and more of an apathetic and unapologetic denouncement of the modern American political climate. Described by the band as “fast-paced, aggressive and radically indifferent”, The Bloody Hell carves out their spot in the political punk underground with a clear and forceful message “Nobody Cares About America Anymore”.

In support of the single, The Bloody Hell are unleashing a music video that can be viewed via its premiere on PunkNews HERE.

The band adds:

“Whatever happened to peace and love!”

“Nobody Cares About America Anymore” will be available as of December 10th on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify.

Suitable for a variety of fans, The Bloody Hell cites influences ranging from Misfits, Nirvana and Motorhead, anyone who enjoys a fun and dirty romp with a bull horn of grungy vocals.

Canada’s NeoNera Encourages Self-Reflection With New Music Video “Saviour”

Alternative rock act NeoNera from Ottawa, Canada, has announced their latest single “Saviour”, which tackles the presence of “white knights” – men who believe that women need to be saved from society and from themselves. It has deep personal meaning to the band, and because of the strength of the message, better suited to stand on its own.

Despite being aware the video could possibly lead to some uncomfortable conversations, the band has a positive outlook for the reception of the single as they explain in their own words:

“We think that fans will be excited about this single and video and appreciate the amount of effort and detail that has gone into this production, especially those who have grown with us over the years, and ideally it will help capture new fans. We know that certain people will be triggered by the video, and we’ll lose fans because of it. We’re prepared for that though and won’t change our message to avoid someone feeling uncomfortable. Sometimes the only way to change is to have those types of conversations.”

NeoNera is loud, with raw grungy guitar and heavy driving progressive drums and bass. Their music is progressive, yet danceable rock music and conveying a strong message is a key aspect to their art. They take the opportunity with this single to really drive that home.

Reminiscent of 90’s grunge, NeoNera is recommended for fans of Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Soundgarden.

The music video for “Saviour” can be viewed HERE.

The single is available on Spotify, Apple Music.

About:

NeoNera is a three-piece alternative rock band from Ottawa, Canada that mixes progressive percussion with dynamic, driving bass and manic grunge guitar riffs. The band’s vocals blend frantic whispers, pounding highs, soulful lows with cathartic screams, and lyrics that peel the layers of conceit and corruption from our NEON ERA. An era of social media perfection and celebrity worship that hides scars beneath, fractured relationships, and even the voices in our own heads- all are stripped bare.

NeoNera plays live sets that offer frenzied energy, poor banter, and heavy yet danceable rock music.

Halifax Punks THE BLOODY HELL Pay Homage To Classic Horror Films With New Music Video “Last Word”

Self-Titled Album Out Now!

Halifax punk rockers The Bloody Hell are sharing with fans, especially horror lovers, their latest music video “Last Word”. The video is homage to the great horror films of the 80s and 90s, particularly the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre film. The song itself is probably the most aggressive track off of the band’s 2018 self-titled album with a punchy in your face intro before breaking into a driving blues scale rhythm and punk rock temp. The vocals come in fast with a dominant hook relaying the theme of the song “I’ll get the last word yet”.

The band adds about the video:

“We filmed this music video at the wildly popular Riverbreeze Fear Farm located in Truro, NS, which is a rural family farm that is transformed into an amazing series of haunted houses and corn maze every October. We thought it was the perfect setting for this video so we reached out to the owners and to our delight, they loved the idea. They put so much detail and effort into the esthetic and atmosphere of a truly frightening, yet fun experience, and I feel we did a good job of capturing that vibe on this video while giving a nod to the horror classic of our childhood.”

Watch “Last Word” HERE.

The single “Last Word” comes from the band’s 2018 self-titled album, which exemplifies their goal to create a fun and interesting listening experience for their fans that is full of twists and turns, highs and lows. They explain what one can expect from their latest album:

“What if all those hooks, melodies and chord structures you love about classic rock where covered in distortion, the lyrics screamed bloody murder and the songs were played at punk rock speed. A Satanic sonic assault on the ears, comprised of concepts covering heartache, substance abuse, death and the occult, drenched in feedback and overflowing with blazing guitar solos.”

Formed in 2017, The Bloody Hell has gotten dirtier and more polished at the same time, with the band having got much better at writing hooks and concepts, while the guitars got louder and the vocals got uglier.

Suitable for a variety of fans, The Bloody Hell cites influences ranging from Misfits, Nirvana, and Motorhead, anyone who enjoys a fun and dirty romp through catchy hooks and grungy vocals.

The Bloody Hell‘s debut self-titled album is available on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify.

Stoner Grunge BADGUYSWIN Premiere Music Video ‘Honey Bucket’ via New Noise Mag

Acting Cameo By ExPain Guitarist Pat Peeve

Debut Album “Cowards” Out Now!

L-R – Alex Huber – Bass Guitar, Vocals, Shane Sherman – Vocals, Guitar, Zak Waterlow – Drums

Releasing their debut album “Cowards” earlier this April, Grand Forks, BC’s 90’s grunge stoner rock trio BADGUYSWIN are sharing their next music video ‘Honey Bucket’ that features an acting cameo by ExPain guitarist Pat Peeve.

The video is being premiered via New Noise Mag HERE.

Vocalist/guitarist Shane Sherman explains the track:

“When we first started writing ‘Honey Bucket’ we didn’t know how impactful of a song it would become. I brought the first two riffs to our drummer Zak and he felt it out quickly, incorporating a strong Spanish style groove to the bluesy sound. Later on, we wrote the chorus and it was apparent it had a very strong hook. The lyrics are a vague description of being dependent on something. Vague enough to leave the message up for interpretation, but direct enough to tell a story of desperation. Originally we had a different ending. But we didn’t feel it had enough impact. We wanted a powerful finish to the song that would translate well to a live audience. After a few different ideas we really nailed it down and it’s become a staple in our set.”

Featuring 3 out of 4 members from technical metal band Slagduster, BADGUYSWIN shows off their original roots in music, the grunge era of the 90s where they would glue themselves to the stereo for hours. The members of BADGUYSWIN also all grew up together in the same small town and have been playing music together in various ways for 15 years.

The band’s debut full length “Cowards” was written to give the listener an experience that doesn’t repeat itself over 12 tracks. It’s an album that is a heavy and hooky modern take on a classic sound with influences that are everything 90’s in grunge, stoner, alternative, and punk. It was conceived organically, performed, and recorded DIY style at the home studio of drummer Zak Waterlow with mastering by Brock McFarlane of CPS studios in Vancouver. The album has a crisp and larger than life sound. With plenty of easter eggs that’ll have you searching for more from each listen.

“Cowards” is available for stream and download on Spotify, Apple Music along with physical CDs having limited edition artwork painted by Shane Sherman on Bandcamp. Each song’s lyrical content revolves around a story and a main character. A painting was depicted for each persona.

“Another grunge-inspired stoner rock ‘n’ roll track now with BADGUYSWIN and their debut ‘Needle Beach’, combining Ozzy-like vocals with the kind of riffs you’d see Orange Goblin churning out through their career… quite the way to introduce themselves!” – Uber Rock UK

“Due out on April 10th, the guys are ready to unleash their debut full-length, Cowards, tailor-made to give you a different listening experience with each of the record’s twelve tracks. Grunge rock may be a distant spec in the musical rearview mirror, but it’s comforting to know that bands such as BADGUYSWIN are carrying on the tradition of that legendary era.” – V13

“BADGUYSWIN calls back to the Stoner Rock and Grunge sounds of their youth.” Ghost Cult Mag

“Cowards is chock full of sublime punked up riffs and harmonies such as “Fly On the Wall” as well as percussive masterpieces in “Lowlifer” and “Coal”. The lyrics speak out to the listener. For example, “Honey Bucket” is about alcoholism and addiction… Cowards provides a perfect feeling of leaves-you-wanting-more. Each song is constructed for maximum appeal with stunning fretwork, exemplary percussion and bass and vocals a bit on the higher range but certainly fitting. With Badguyswin, there is so much to rock out to here.” – Boston Rock Radio

The live band lineup is the classic 3 piece set up with Zolla Marc on guitar/lead vocals with a revolving line up on bass and drums.

Pink Cocoon initially started off 2 summers ago as a solo studio project writing, performing and producing the Alienation – 6 Track EP. as of April 2018, it is currently available for full stream and purchase online. Concerning live performance, the band is loud and uses full-stack amplification so the audience can engulf themselves into the Pink Cocoon experience playing every gig like their last. Feedback and sustain are also necessary. The band’s first live performance was on April 21st, 2017 in Montreal and has played over 50 gigs in the first year.

“The songs are some of the best, stylistically, since Death Metal Pope dropped their ‘Harvest’ EP at the end of 2016. If you like a riff…and especially one that comes from a very heavy Hawkwind headspace, then you need to seek out this release immediately.” – Real Gone Rocks

“The sound and the flow of ‘Alienation’ holds up to repeat listening pretty well. A lot of the ‘flow’ appeal comes from straightforward song structures that are geared towards classic rock music.” – Grizzly Butts

“Fully absorbed into the world of squalling feedback solos and a psychedelic blues atmosphere, Pink Cocoon immediately step above the rest of the Witchcraft clones by being truly doom in their output.” -Those Once Loyal

“With trusty pedals and multiple influences, the Pink Cocoon sound is a force to be reckoned with.” – Bucketlist Music Reviews

“They play a more mellow and bluesy style of stoner, cited on their website as “doom blues for your soul”, which, quite frankly, is exactly what it is. Their riffs are thick yet soft-edged, and when coupled with vocalist Zolla Marc’s soothing yet rough style of singing, create a beautifully warm atmosphere. To be cheesy, the name is fitting.” – Metal Megalomania

“Montreal’s Pink Cocoon brings heaps of fuzzy goodness with classic grunge pop songwriting. Their six song EP contains some seriously addictive bluesy riffs plus choruses that deliver oodles of ear worms that would have gotten them signed instantly to a major label a few decades ago.” – Indy Metal Vault

Their debut single/music video ‘Needle Beach‘ is ready to be revealed and can be viewed via its premiere on GhostCultMag HERE.

The band adds:

“This song came together easily. We had been searching for a very rhythmic groove to insert under the guitar riff. Once Zak added the pulsing kick drum to the steady thumping bass riff we all squealed in delight. Our goal of creating a fun video to represent the vibe of the music while contradicting the lyrical content of the song resulted in the “Alien Pool Party” idea, stemming from Alex’s persistent insistence on having sexy aliens in some sort of minimal clothing atmosphere. Aiming for an old school look with psychedelic overtones; we definitely achieved it.”

“Cowards” is an album that is a heavy and hooky modern take on a classic sound with influences that are everything 90’s in grunge, stoner, alternative, and punk. It was conceived organically, performed and recorded DIY style at the home studio of drummer Zak Waterlow with mastering by Brock McFarlane of CPS studios in Vancouver.

With low-fi/garage rock EP “Alienation” (2017) under his belt, PINK COCOON plans to consistently release music with a different, crisp edge this year. A new single already planned to be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Fans of Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, and Nirvana will enjoy the musical stylings of PINK COCOON.
