Five Finger Death Punch has officially released a new video for “Under and Over It” with live tour footage:

VNV Nation are returning to the road in November with a new album release on September 27, 2011.

New York, NY – In support for the release of AUTOMATIC, their widely-anticipated eighth studio album on Anachron America on September 27, 2011, electronic rock pioneers VNV NATION have announced a national tour that will launch in Los Angeles on November 16 at The Mayan Theater and will circle the States and wrapping up in Atlanta, GA on December 13th at Masquerade. With each set clocking in at two hours or more, this tour will be a special extended live event. German electronic dance outfit Straftanz will support all dates. (tour dates below)

Currently putting the finishing touches on Automatic, the follow-up to their widely-praised Of Faith, Power and Glory, Irish/English bandmates Ronan Harris and Mark Jackson have been hard at work crafting the new album into something far more conceptualized and thematic than previous releases. Calling the new album half-jokingly his “Opus of Retro-futurism”, Ronan has been streamlining the music, artwork, and imaging of this album into a concept that encompasses the industrialization and technology of late 30s America while embracing the technology of today.

With their unique and formidable ability to combine very melodic, danceable electronics with haunting and powerful lyrics, VNV Nation have built a massive fanbase, playing to hundreds of thousands of fans at both their own sold-out shows and major rock festivals worldwide. Their massive hits “Chrome”, “Beloved” and “Illusion” are club staples that still pack dancefloors.

Nov. 16 – Mayan Theatre (Los Angeles, CA)
Nov. 18 – Nile Theatre (Mesa, AZ)

I love it when I receive press releases, click around to check out some new music, and end up stumbling upon some material that I enjoy and want to share. This time, it’s for The Black Ryder.

“The debut album from these shoegazers from Down Under, Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride, doesn’t have a superfluous song in its 11-song mix – and even flaunts a few dreamy alt-country jams that bring to mind mid 90′s David Lynch cinematography. Like the engravings on a memorial, Scott Von Ryper and Aimee Nash’s haunting and unintelligible lyrics are subtle etchings upon and escarpment of droning guitars layered with chilling effects. Its music with a story, but it doesn’t force its narrative on the listener.” –Itunes Music

The Black Ryder are currently out on the road supporting Spectrum including a stint at this weekend’s Austin Psych Fest and then on to New York City for 2 headlining shows.

Check out the haunting video for “Sweet Come Down” here:

“What if Brian Jonestown Massacre had a girl as the lead singer? That’s the basic premise behind The Black Ryder, an Aussie duo that cranks out layered beats and synthesized harmonies on guitars, organs, and various instruments of electro-joy.” –Nylon Magazine

Greetings!

I am alive! Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while… I’ve been hopping from city to city like the little busy bee that I am. Now that I have a bit of time and some free WiFi thanks to the Vancouver airport… I figured I’d repost a little memory from the last time I was out in British Columbia (both Vancouver and Victoria):

Makes me really miss my Canadian tour mates (Finger Eleven). And now… time to get ready to board. Can’t wait to come back home and pass out in my bed…

Here’s a new fun little video from the road from my buddy Dj (currently guitarist for Guns ‘N’ Roses):

On tour with Multi-Platinum Recording Artist, Grammy Nominated Songwriter Dj Ashba, guitarist of Guns N’ Roses. Join him on his “Meeting” with Jesus in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil during the Guns N’ Roses South American Tour 2010!
