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.

Read Time:2 Minute, 40 Second

Interview with A Permanent Shadow

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

It’s a pleasure, thanks for inviting us!

2. Where are you from?

I’m of Austrian origin but have lived in Barcelona for many years. My co-writers are
Catalan and Argentinian, respectively.

3. What type of music do you play?

We play Electronic Rock.

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

My name is CP Fletcher and I am the singer, Valentí Nieto is on bass, guitar and
production and Albert Català is the keyboarder and arranger.

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?

I was heavily into David Bowie as a teenager, and still am. These days I would say that
other major influences are Nine Inch Nails and LCD Soundsystem.

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

I started out quite late, as a drummer first and then as a singer when I was in my thirties.
It pains me to say that I’m not a natural talent, neither singing nor drumming came
naturally to me. It was a lot of hard work and I still feel that I have a lot to learn.

7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2024?

We’ve just released a new album, “No Leaf Clover”, which we will be promoting over
the next few months. Towards the end of the year, we’d like to release a covers EP as well.

We are on all digital platforms and social media outlets, but a good starting point is our
own website, www.apermanentshadow.com

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

That’s a tough question, but I’ll go with Simple Minds!

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

I think we would make a good match with Simple Minds, Future Islands, John Grant or
Garbage, among many others.

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

Thank you for having us! Till the next time!

Interview with Replies by Movement

Posted on June 8, 2024June 8, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:4 Minute, 34 Second

Interview with Replise by Movement

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

1. What’s the name of the band?
KEVIN: MOVMENT
MARTIN: Our previous band was called Raw Novembre

2. Where are you from?
KEVIN: We are brothers, and we’re from Mullingar, a small town in the middle of
Ireland
MARTIN: We have lived in Mullingar all our lives, and this is where we write and
record our music, in our home studio, End of Light Studios.

3. What type of music do you play?

KEVIN: It could be post-punk, but it has metal and rock elements to it. It is also
darkwave and electronic. A mixture of those genres.
MARTIN: I like to call it rock, but that is very broad these days. The core parts of our
sound are drums, bass and distorted guitars, but we also add synths for atmosphere.

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?
KEVIN: I play guitar, and experiment with synthesizers, sequencers, and samplers
MARTIN: I am the vocalist, but I started on drums, so I write and record the drum parts.

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?

KEVIN: The first band I got into was Joy Division, but I also listen to a broad range of
music from metal to country rock. If it has something I connect with, then I’ll listen some more. Other bands I like are Pixies, Black Sabbath, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, Wipers,
Bauhaus, and lots more. New bands I like are Turnstile and Fontaines DC.

MARTIN: The first bands I listened to were Iron Maiden and Van Halen. Over the years
I have broadened the music I listen to. I like Nine Inch Nails, Ghost, New Model Army,
and lots of other bands. I currently like Ghost and Lord of the Lost.

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

KEVIN: Since I was a teenager, I always had an interest in music, especially rock music.
My musical taste developed in my teens, but I now listen to a wide variety of genres. So,
I could be listening to Rammstein, or Metallica, but also Grandaddy and Sparklehorse, or
The Chemical Brothers.

MARTIN: I was singing from my early teens, but I always liked the drums. So, I bought
a kit and played in a few bands. Once Kevin got a bass, we started a band with lots of
different musicians. We played covers at first, but we also wrote our own songs from the
beginning. I suppose punk and post-punk and metal influenced us, and we always felt that
writing music and songs was something we should do. When we had enough songs
written we would play those live instead of covers.

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

KEVIN: We have just released an album, REINVENTION, at the end of 2023. This will
be re-released on CD by EPICTRONIC in a few months. We have released a number of
singles from the album, I BELIEVE IN NOISE, CRAWL BACK INSIDE, and
EXISTENCE. You can view the videos for those tracks on YouTube.

MARTIN: Yeah, our latest album is REINVENTION. But we already have new songs,
so we are finishing tracking those, and we intend to mix those and release them sometime
in 2024. They could be released as an EP, or a mini album. I expect our fourth album to
be completed by the end of 2024 with a release date in early 2025.

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

KEVIN: Our main website has all the details about our releases, where to listen to our
music, and links to our videos. Visit www.movment.ie to find out more about Movment.

MARTIN: We post on Social Media from time to time, Twitter (X), Facebook,
Instagram, and TikTok. Details are on our main website. We also release some items on
our own Record Label – Distort The Scene – www.distortthescene.com – but our last 2
albums have been released on Epictronic – www.epictronic.com
Send us an email or message us on Social Media if you have any questions about
Movment.

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

KEVIN: It is very hard to pick one, but I’d say it is probably Joy Division. It is definitely
the band that influenced me the most. I run a blog, roughcalmhead.com, where I list the
bands I like and the albums/songs that have made an impression on me, including my
song of the week.

MARTIN: My All Time Favourite band is Iron Maiden, but there are plenty of bands
that run them close, especially Nine Inch Nails.

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

KEVIN: One band I saw recently is Queens of the Stone Age. An opening slot for them
would be great. Awesome band.

MARTIN: If we could tour with a band, one that is on tour, that would probably be
Smashing Pumpkins at the moment, or maybe Rammstein!

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

Having just completed a ten-date elementary school tour, Levesque performed this new song, along with other original music for ten elementary schools and thousands of students across multiple towns in Ontario. Levesque says “I loved having the chance to give back to the community and to inspire kids to pursue their dreams, while also showcasing this new release to them”. Now, students who heard this song live in their schools can listen to it on all music platforms.

She won the 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Performing Arts myFM Spirit Award in Pembroke, and Sierra was also nominated for “Artist of the Year” at the 2024 Ottawa Awards by Faces Magazine.

Her musical influences throughout the years have been Pop, Rock and Metal acts such as Avril Lavigne, Ghost, Heart and Scorpions.

As Sierra continues to grow her social media following, she has already received notoriety from some powerful figures in the Rock music industry including Nancy Wilson (Heart), Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal (Sons Of Apollo, Asia, ex Guns ‘N Roses), Debbie Gibson, Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles), DJ Ashba (SIXX A.M, ex Guns ‘N Roses), and Desmond Child (Songwriter for Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, KISS) to name a few.

Sierra’s powerful vocals, hard rocking guitar riffs, and relatable original songs always take every stage by storm!

Awake The Dreamer Share Video For “Broken Home”

Posted on April 1, 2024April 1, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:1 Minute, 19 Second

Awake The Dreamer Share Video For "Broken Home"

Watch Video

Awake The Dreamer have shared the new single “Broken Home,” which unlocks deep emotion with music by exploring familial conflict and healing. With poignant lyrics and melodies, it offers hope and resonates deeply with those facing similar issues. This track underscores the band’s commitment to meaningful music.

The history of Awake The Dreamer leads us back to 2015, when the Stockholm-based, melodic post-hardcore/metalcore act was formed by childhood and high school friends. Since dropping the Grow EP in 2016, the band been seen touring all across Europe and Asia alongside bands like Ice Nine Kills, Northlane, Adept, and Crystal Lake, to name a few.

In September 2019, the band dropped the debut album Damaged Souls via Arising Empire. A 10-track introduction to hard-hitting, melodic post-hardcore/metalcore, which also included features by Adept’s Robert Ljung on “Vigilant” and Crystal Lake’s Ryo Kinoshita on “Atmosphere.”

“Being a smaller band that didn’t even have an album out by the time we had toured Europe and Asia quite finally caught up to us and then the pandemic hit. Like that wasn’t enough, we unfortunately had former members leaving the band, so it became natural for us to just start from scratch in order to re-develop a new sound. A sound which we are really happy and proud of. It feels great to start releasing music again and we are really excited to be back,” says the band.

Interview With Atomic Agent

Posted on April 1, 2024April 1, 2024 by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:4 Minute, 14 Second

Interview with Atomic Agent

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

1. What’s the name of the band?

Atomic Agent.

2. Where are you from?

Hämeenlinna, Finland.

3. What type of music do you play?
Hard Goth Rock. There are so much of dark elements like the lyrical themes, the tone of
my voice and much of the guitar melodies that fall into the Goth/Gothic category, but this
stuff also has so much that cockiness and heaviness of Hard Rock, that I think Hard Goth
Rock says it best. Although, there is a lot more, when you start digging in.

4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?
Hi! I’m Al Aston, I sing and play all the instruments – until now, that is. For live
purposes we are forming a line-up, other members so far added are Neville van der Smith
on bass, Count Jan Woods on drums and Nicholas de Sin on rhythm guitar. We’re still
actively looking for a lead guitarist – preferably someone, who can make the guitar sing,
so to speak. If this line-up will also start making studio recordings, remains to be seen,
but we are already actively rehearsing for possible future live shows.

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 first musical influences were artists like Elvis Presley and David Bowie. Then I got
gradually deeper into more extreme metal, and metal, especially thrash and death metal,
are what made me want to play an instrument myself. At one point I listened to a of 80’s
Goth Rock, then a lot of punk hardcore and even played in a certain punk hardcore band
for almost a couple of years.

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

I have. None of my family was that musical, other than listening to music, but me and my
friends we really hit it off with metal stuff as teenagers, it really felt like it was made for
us and we were made for it. To be honest, before any serious metal came into picture, I
had no idea I had any musical talent myself. So yes, in the end it did come to me pretty
naturally.

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

There’s a couple of singles coming out – pretty soon I hope, then an EP called Dolly’s
Not Alone later in the spring. A sophomore album is also in the works. On top of that we
are rehearsing the live stuff as mentioned, and hoping to hit the stages later this year –
provided that we find the lead guitarist, of course.

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

You can find us on several social media, like Facebook and Instagram, but not on X. The
debut album Secret Society is out on pretty much all digital streaming platforms. I’m just
hoping we could get a physical release out at some point too.

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

Oh man, this answer could change on a daily basis! But today I’ll go with Carcass. I just
love them so much, especially Heartwork is something that makes my clock tick! A
perfect combination of heaviness, blasting, harmonies and technical brilliance (without
going overboard at any point).

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

Open for us? Well now… We usually get asked only the question who should we open
for, but I like the way you think! 😀 But I think we’d team up with bands like Tribulation,
Candlemass, Paradise Lost and such quite nicely.

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

Thank you, it was my pleasure!
