Worldwide Panic Release New Song/Video “Break Me Down”

Hard Rock/Alt.Metal band Worldwide Panic have released their furious new track “Break Me Down”. It’s the first release from the Los Angeles, CA based band’s upcoming sophomore LP, which is slated for release in the first quarter of 2025. The song was produced by the legendary Bob Marlette (Seether, Airbourne, Saliva; Rob Zombie) and mastered by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Demon Hunter, Rob Zombie). The track is a rant against authority figures who try to break you down and control you through mind games.

“Break Me Down” starts off with a middle-eastern flavored sitar line, and then explodes into an ominous down-tuned rhythm, bolstered by crunching guitars and thunderous drums that sounds like equal parts Disturbed, Rammstein and Rob Zombie. The earworm chorus lingers long after the track has ended – making for a compelling anthem of frustration.

Worldwide Panic frontman Lane Steele says “The song – like almost all of our songs – has a rich backstory. We were looking for producers to hire to work on our new material. We met with a famous producer at a multi-million dollar studio. We were told that our material wasn’t good and “Where’s the hook” – when its staring you in the face the whole time. We left and simply said to each other “Why should we work with someone who wants to break us down, just to build us up again?” And then the song was written within the next 48 hours. We recorded the song with a legend, Bob Marlette. He and his family poured their hearts and souls into this track. It helped make Worldwide Panic sound bigger than I could ever imagine. The experience was great and I am super proud of this track.”

The video for “Break Me Down” was directed by Andre Brown and filmed @ Monarch Film Studios in Los Angeles. The performance piece is raw and expressive, and conveys the emotion of the song.

About Worldwide Panic:

With influences that range from Rammstein, Rob Zombie, and Disturbed, Worldwide Panic has a heavy Alt.Metal sound, with an industrial tinge. They released an eponymous LP, Worldwide Panic in early 2023. The LP was mastered by Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Demon Hunter, Rob Zombie). The release made inroads at Active Rock Radio, charting with the singles “I Tried” (#23 on the Billboard Rock Indicator, #11 on the SMR Chart ) and “Falling Apart” (#25 on Billboard Rock Indicator and #6 on the SMR chart).

Worldwide Panic brings a unique theatrical experience to its live shows – their performances are packed with dynamic energy and excitement. Fans across the hard rock and metal spectrum find their music fresh and engaging. They have toured with Flaw, Smile Empty Soul, Hellzapoppin’, Mushroomhead, and The Convalescence, among others. The band has done several headlining tours in the last 5 years.

They recently completed work on their self-produced 2nd full length LP, which was again mastered by Chris “Zeuss” Harris. The album is slated to be released in the 1^st quarter of 2025. Tour dates are in the works to begin in late spring of 2025.

known events we left this country and this city and now the project is stretched between
Belgrade and Berlin.”

[SYDIUS]: “Saint-Petersburg”

[GENA]: “I'm from the post-apocalyptic future, where most of humanity has been
wiped out by a deadly nuclear war, which was sparked off by an artificial intelligence. The
survivors fight extinction against the computer system&#and genocidal war on humanity…”

[NENAD]: “Dubai”

[ROMAN]: “Zauralie”

3. What type of music do you play?

[ALEX_Y]: “We call this arctic-dreams-metal – a frantic mix of traditional metal,
classical music and electronic gothic.”

[SYDIUS]: “Rock and metal”
[GENA]: “The type with a guitar in it”

[NENAD]: “Mostly metal, rock and folk”

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?

[ALEX_Y]: “I am the vocalist, founder and composer of Arctic Dreams”

5. This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical
influences did you have growing up, and what are some now?

[ALEX_Y]: “They are very huge)) Classical, gothic and heavy metal mostly.”

[SYDIUS]: “From classic rock into progressive, jazz and classics and now back and
forth”

[GENA]: “Ever since I was a kid, I loved listening to music, any music I could
reach. Now nothing has changed, style and genre are not important to me”

[NENAD]: “Very varied. Started off with pop rock and classical when I was a kid,
my parents took me to some events to see. I got interested in music to at least try it, so I
started off with piano and music lessons. The rest is history.”

[ROMAN]: “I started to listen to heavy music when I was 9 years old from Korol i
Shut. Then I had a period of being fun of Rammstein, Aria, Nightwish, and Blind
Guardian. When people ask me about my favorite band, I usually answer Blind Guardian

Power Metal, then all kinds of Metal, now I listen to a lot of different music of many genres
so right now, I don’t have a favorite band at all.”

naturally?

[ALEX_Y]: “Yeah, since I was about 12. Music came a few years after I heard my
first heavy music album.”

[SYDIUS]: ” Don’t know if it’s legitimate to define a huge path of studies, activities, mistakes and discoveries naturally come”

[GENA]: “And how does the non-natural process work? Do they throw an
instrument at you and throw you on stage? ”

[NENAD]: “It was a way to express my natural creative side, but I didn’t commit to
it until later in life when I studied it better. It was pretty much on and off until my teenage
years, that was when the sparks started flying. Now it is as natural to me as breathing.”

[ROMAN]: “I have played drums since school, and I would say that it was pretty
natural for me”

7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2024 and beyond into 2025?

show.”

[ROMAN]: “-”

Posted on November 6, 2024November 6, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:3 Minute, 8 Second

From the Green Room interview with Versa

Thanks for taking some time to chat with From the Green Room

1. What’s the name of the band?

Versa
2. Where are you from?

Victoria, on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.

3. What type of music do you play?

A mix of post-rock, progressive rock, and indie rock.

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?

I’m Matthew Dolmage, and I play flute, guitar, piano, and sing in the band.

5. This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical
influences did you have growing up, and what are some now?

My biggest influences when I first started writing music were Jethro Tull, Sigur
Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Mogwai, Sufjan Stevens, and Andy Creeggan.
Those are still important artists for me, but lately I’ve been listening to a lot more
modern progressive rock and metal – artists like Haken, Caligula’s Horse, Neal
Morse, and Big Big Train – which have had a big influence on our more recent
songs.

6. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you
naturally?

Yes – my mom was a pianist and I’ve been playing music for as long as I can
remember. Hollas, or violinist, grew up in a musical home as well –his parents were
both professional musicians and his father was head of the School of Music at the
University of Victoria, and Jesse, our drummer, also comes from a musical family –
his father is a multi-Juno award winning singer/songwriter.

7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2024 and beyond into 2025?

We’ve got a couple more music videos coming to support our most recent album, “A
Voyage / A Destination, Part 2”, released on October 4 th . We’re also returning to
live performance for the first time in almost 8 years, with a show at one of our
favourite venues, Lucky Bar here in Victoria on December 13 th . In 2025 we’ll be
playing a few more shows and starting work on our next album.

8. For someone who wants to know more about the band, were can they find you at?
And where can they find your music?

Best place to go is www.versa-music.com – it’s a link tree to our social media
accounts, youTube page, Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music streaming pages, and our
Bandcamp, where you can buy physical CDs and digital downloads.

9. Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all time favorite band?
Jethro Tull, Genesis, and Barenaked Ladies are my top-3.

10. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would
you choose?

It’d be an honour to open for any of the bands and artists that we’ve had the
pleasure of collaborating with on the last two albums – we’ve had members of
Haken, Caligula’s Horse, iamthemorning, Neal Morse Band, Big Big Train,
Marching Mind, eMolecule, Moon Letters, and Wobbler play on our recent albums,
which has been amazing. We are probably going to get something going with Moon
Letters in 2025 – they’re in Seattle and we’re in Victoria, so it makes sense! Of the
other bands, I think we’d be a great fit to open for Big Big Train – maybe some day!
Thanks for chatting with me From the Green Room and look forward to chatting
again in the future.

CARSEX Share New Track “Sitting Ducks”

Posted on October 29, 2024October 29, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:2 Minute, 11 Second

CARSEX Share New Track “Sitting Ducks”

Punk band CARSEX have released their ferocious new track “Sitting Ducks”. It’s the follow-up to the Long Beach, CA based band’s successful single & video “Crooked Canvas”. Both were produced by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Alesana, Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Butcher Babies). The track is a deep dive into current human-interest stories, and the shape of the human condition in 2024.

“Sitting Ducks” is a frenetic, all-out barrage of sound with distorted guitars & a menacing rhythm line that explodes into a supersonic metal/punk mashup. It’s a mix of Henry Rollins/Black Flag, with a bit of Danzig mixed in for good measure. It’s an unrelenting anthem of angst.

CARSEX Singer Nigel Burk says “Sitting Ducks’ is a kind of “they live” type song. It covers the helplessness and monotony of a modern world and the meaninglessness that follows what’s viewed “important” by society at large, and the misalignment of priorities in today’s chaotic times”.

About CARSEX:

CARSEX amped-up sound is what the name implies: Sleazy, primitive, uncomfortable – and just as good as your friends told you it’d be.

Forged by the survivors of Long Beach music scene bands Damned Age, Black Velvet Brigade, and Red River Massacre, the five music veterans in CARSEX have slugged it out in the clubs of Orange County, California for more than 10 years. While performing shows in these various groups on the circuit they became friends over time. As the bands they were in either dissolved or changed direction – they decided to form under a new banner with shared musical tastes & goals, and CARSEX formed in 2018. Their sound is a mix of Circle Jerks/Black Flag/The Germs, with Danzig, Fu Manchu & a bit Queens of the Stone Age blended into a potent combination. They play hard and loud with no hint of an apology.

The band has previously released 2 EPs: 2019’s CarSex and 2020’s 2020 EP, which featured the singles “Your Generation” and “Lovesick”. A new EP is being finalized and will be released in the 1^st quarter of 2025.

CARSEX is very much a live band, and is playing shows in support the new music. They’ve opened for Stillwell (Fieldy from Korn’s Band), The Obsessed, Mondo Generator, Suicide Silence, Unsane, Dead Poet’s Society, Narcoleptic Youth, and O’Zorn!, among others.

JOSIE LOCKHART‘Every Kind of Light’Release Date: October 18 th

Posted on October 22, 2024October 22, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:3 Minute, 15 Second

JOSIE LOCKHART ‘Every Kind of Light’ Release Date: October 18th

Ahead of the release of his sophomore album What Golden Hues, Josie Lockhart is set to unleash his first single ‘Every Kind of Light’ on October 18th, a foot stomping americana filled listen, that will grab your attention from the moment you hit play.

After Austin synth-pop group Sphynx went on hiatus in 2019, frontman Aaron Miller found himself adrift. “I had hundreds of songs on my hard drives in various stages of completion, all over the place,” Miller says. “So much of my identity was wrapped up in trying to be a successful musician that I started to wonder if it was healthy. I tried to put it down for a while.” Miller spent a few months working to remove the expectations he had set for himself and reconnect with the songwriting process. “I realised itʼs something I need for myself, I donʼt feel right unless Iʼm putting together an album in my head.” Miller continued to tinker in his South Austin home studio and it wasnʼt long before he emerged with a sonic identity that blended his synth-pop background with the americana and twang he had grown up around.

Miller introduced his Josie Lockhart moniker with the 2021 release of Santa Rosa, mixed by Chris Coady (Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Future Islands), the album went on to be featured on the BBC, NPR, American Songwriter, Obscure Sound and Fresh On The Net, as well as picking up radio-play in the US, UK, Australia, Spain, and Brazil. “Making Santa Rosa was a cathartic experience,” says Miller, who performed and recorded the album entirely by himself. “That album broke some kind of seal, and I just kept putting songs together.” Two months after the release of Santa Rosa, Miller holed up at his familyʼs home in Durango, Colorado and assembled a collection of 11 tracks for Josie Lockhartʼs sophomore album, What Golden Hues.

uns with it. The album features steel guitar, wurlitzer, and saxophone on a bed of analog synth; heartland rock with a modern spin. Millerʼs lyrics are earnest, and the melodies and harmonies soar. The upcoming album signifies a return to his roots. “I wanted to draw from the well of music I grew up listening to, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen, Townes Van Zandt,” Miller says. The playing is masterful and the production shines. Where Santa Rosa introduced an artist, What Golden Hues reveals a songwriter in his prime, an artist fully formed.

Josie wrote ‘Every Kind of Light’ and recorded the demo in his South Austin home studio. After that, he took it to Carey McGraw at Club Sound Machine Studios in Lockhart, TX and brought in session players from Austin and Nashville to help produce a studio version of the track. The new single offers a tasteful glimpse of What Golden Hues, promising an incredible new era for the hard-working artist.

When it comes to the specific meaning behind his addictive new single, Josie has channelled into an honest theme of fulfilment that comes with growing up: “This is a song about a feeling of contentment and understanding that comes as you become an adult. After searching and feeling like you’re falling short of your goals in your 20s, I’ve found some peace with my station in life as a dad in my 30s, and a great deal of gratitude. I needed that wanderlust to get here though.”

Interview with The Linder Ave Band

Posted on July 17, 2024July 17, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:2 Minute, 27 Second

Interview with The Linder Ave Band

1. What’s the name of the band?

I grew up in a musical home on Linder Avenue in Chicago. The sounds of my
family playing music nurtured my interest. The basement of my childhood
home on Linder Avenue is where I honed my skills as a musician, and it
inspired the name of my recording project.

2. Where are you from?

My roots as a musician go back to Chicago Illinois. However, I have lived in
Las Vegas for over 20 years.

3. What type of music do you play?

I would describe the music of the Linder Ave Band as Power Pop Melodic
Rock. Influenced by iconic bands of the 70s and 80s, my music is where the
heart of rock’s golden era beats with a modern rhythm. I hope to create
music that is both refreshingly new and nostalgically familiar.

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?

I am a singer, songwriter who plays guitar and I have assembled local Las
Vegas musicians, as well as musicians from Chicago, to record with to bring
my writing alive. The musicians who played on my sessions are outstanding
players and singers and they have made their own creative contributions to
the tracks.

5. This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical
influences did you have growing up, and what are some now?

My list of musicians who have inspired me is long. To mention a few, the
legendary riffs of Jimmy Page and the melodic sensibilities of The Beatles
influenced me.

6. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you
naturally?

I was raised in a musical family where guitars and drums were household
staples. My mother and aunt were multi-instrumentalists and multilingual
singers, and my father was a jazz drummer. I started out, as many musicians
do, by playing in my neighbor bands.

7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2023 and beyond into 2024?

My next release, “Midnight Mischief” coming out on June 7th, is a song
about the Las Vegas Strip. Although the song could be relatable to any
hotspot in any city. I think this song captures all the power pop melodic rock
elements that are associated with the Linder Ave Band.

8. For someone who wants to know more about the band, were can they find you at?
And were can they find your music?

My website is https://linderave.com/home My music is available on all the
usual streaming services and the iTunes Store.

9. Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all time favorite band?

The Beatles

10. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would
you choose?

The Linder Ave Band is a studio project. I do not have a touring band.

Thanks for chatting with me From the Green Room and look forward to chatting
again in the future.

CARSEX Release New Track/Video “Crooked Canvas”

Posted on July 16, 2024July 17, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:2 Minute, 27 Second

CARSEX Release New Track/Video "Crooked Canvas"

Long Beach, CA. underground Rock band Carsex have released their supercharged new single & video “Crooked Canvas”, which was produced by Steve Evetts (Sepultura, Alesana, Poison the Well, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Butcher Babies). The track is a diatribe about their intense disdain for blind consumerism and uninformed fealty to political parties. It starts out with a spoken word warning that is underlined by a fierce guitar riff that builds alongside a staccato drum beat and then explodes into a supersonic blast that never lets up.

Carsex Singer Nigel Burk says “Crooked Canvas’ is about the metaphorical wool being pulled over people’s eyes and the blind, general consumption of what’s being put forth. Whether it’s politics, religion, what shoes to buy, which pill will make your dick bigger. It’s about consumerism at its finest and my distaste for it”.

Bassist Jeremy Schott adds “The music video was shot by our pals Brad Walther and Jason Lazo at Big Walrus Productions in Long Beach. We worked with them on our last video for “Your Generation”. We shot the video on a church set, keeping with the theme of the song being about the public being told how to think and what to consume – and blindly doing so. Steven Burhoe of Plague Productions edited the video.“

About CARSEX:

CARSEX amped-up sound is what the name implies: Sleazy, primitive, uncomfortable & just as good as your friends told you it’d be.

Forged by the survivors of Long Beach music scene bands Damned Age, Black Velvet Brigade, and Red River Massacre, the five music veterans in Carsex have slugged it out in the clubs of Orange County, California for more than 10 years. While performing shows in these various groups on the circuit they became friends over time. As the bands they were in either dissolved or changed direction – they decided to form under a new banner with shared musical tastes & goals, and Caresx formed in 2018. Their sound is a mix of Circle Jerks/Black Flag/The Germs, with Danzig, Fu Manchu & a bit Queens of the Stone Age blended into a potent combination. They play hard and loud with no hint of an apology.

Carsex has previously released 2 EPs: 2019’s CarSex and 2020’s 2020 EP, which featured the singles “Your Generation” and “Lovesick”. A new EP is being finalized and will be released later this summer.

Carsex is very much a live band, and shows are currently being booked to support the release of “Crooked Canvas” and the upcoming EP. They’ve opened for Stillwell (Fieldy from Korn’s Band), The Obsessed, Mondo Generator, Suicide Silence, Unsane, Dead Poet’s Society, Narcoleptic Youth, and O’Zorn!, among others.

FROM ASHES TO NEW’s distinctive blend of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative music saw BLACKOUT land the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. Acting as a prequel to their 2016 debut album DAY ONE it mirrors the angst and unrest the world felt during the 2020 pandemic at which time it was written while delivering a fresh spin on their distinctive blend of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative music that broke FROM ASHES TO NEW onto the scene.

“‘Blackout’ is our prequel to ‘Day One,’” says Brandyberry. “‘Day One’ was a strong representation of the style that made FATN who we are today, and ‘Blackout’ is a step above. The world seems to be headed further and further towards chaos and destruction, so it only felt right to create a piece to paint the picture we are all becoming all too familiar with. Expect much more of this from us in the future. With these new tracks and collaborations, our biggest record yet just went to the next level. We’re thrilled to bring our fans, a couple new, exciting songs as well as some mind-blowing features from a handful of artists that we love.”

Smile Empty Soul Release New Single “SAVIOR” + Music Video via TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group

Smile Empty Soul Release New Single "SAVIOR" + Music Video via TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group

Alt-rock veterans Smile Empty Soul have unveiled their latest single, “Savior,” accompanied by an impactful music video. The track is a preview of their upcoming EP, Swan Song, which is scheduled for release at the end of the year through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

“Savior” addresses the challenging state of contemporary society, as explained by the band’s frontman, Sean Danielsen. “I feel like people have grown cold to each other and selfishness has stepped up as the primary mentality,” Danielsen reflects. The song’s poignant lyrics and gripping melody are a testament to the band’s signature sound and their ability to tackle relevant themes through their music.

WATCH the Official Music Video for “SAVIOR”

SMILE EMPTY SOUL is a hard rock band that originated in Los Angeles, CA in the late 1990’s and has stayed true to their brand of “no bullshit”, “real as it gets” hard rock to this day. The band signed a major label record deal in 2003 to release their self-titled debut album in May of that year. They realized huge success at alternative radio, rock radio, and the music video channels that have since fallen by the wayside or turned into reality show networks.

After 3 very successful singles/videos and a gold record from the debut release, the band ran into trouble with their record company (which was in the midst of turmoil at the top levels) and found themselves working extra hard in the trenches, and signed to indie labels or no label at all from then on.

This would become SMILE EMPTY SOUL’s destiny, as they have gone on to release many more albums and EP’s on various labels, as well as their own company “smile empty music inc”. The band released their 9th full length record Black Pilled on October 12th of 2021 completely on their own.

“Smile” has become known for its constant touring and never wavering honest sound/lyrics. They’ve never changed for anybody, and turned down many opportunities to “sell out” because it’s not who they are.

With a new album, and just as much drive as they had starting out 20 years ago, this band looks to continue to build on the legacy they’ve created as one of the hardest working, and most underrated bands in rock and roll.

The band has recently partnered with TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group to release new music. Denny Sanders (The Label Group) and Sean Danielsen previously partnered on the successful release of Consciousness. Released in 2009 the record has become second only to the band’s debut release in popularity.
