BMFV’s self-titled album — their seventh — is out now
NeverWake starts the 2023 year off with a blast releasing their single cover of Billy Idol’s 80’s rock anthem “Rebel Yell” for the song’s 40th year anniversary. “We are very selective on the music we like to cover and this one hit home with us. We pursued this track because not only is it a rock anthem, but it holds a bit of nostalgia for the band. My father is a musician and I grew up watching his band on stage over the years with my jaw on the floor, just awestruck as a kid. He would cover lots of tracks but I always loved when he did Billy Idol. When our former drummer Marcus Giannamore brought his ideas for this rendition to the table it lit a fire inside of me because it brought me back to the days of me watching my dad’s band just kick ass on stage. He was my first inspiration to lead me to what we do today. And we’d love to pass that on,” says Johnny DiCarlo. NeverWake is a haunting sinew of hard rock and metalcore out of Pittsburgh PA. Captivating melodies are entwined with heavy grooves that refuse to leave the mind. Explosive riffs weave their way over a strong foundation. NeverWake has been capturing the minds of listeners worldwide. They have toured the US, played various national festivals, shared the stage with bands such as Falling In Reverse, All That Remains, and many more. Just recently they have worked with powerhouse musicians such as John Moyer of Disturbed. There are no signs of slowing as the band is on course to release continually throughout the year and tour mid 2023. NeverWake consists of Johnny DiCarlo on lead vocals/lead guitar, George Scott on bass guitar/vocals and Justin Sanford lead guitar/vocals. NeverWake is currently endorsed by Schecter Guitars, EMG pickups, DR Handmade Strings, and Splawn Amplification. NeverWake is signed to Melodic Revolution Records.

Philadelphia, PA – The Stone Eye Release Their New Single “NOT MY CIRCUS”.The Stone Eye is that spot on the sun that burns a memory into each layer of immersive sound. Not to be placed in a box, their stylistic music continues to be released with “NOT MY CIRCUS”.
‘”Not My Circus” was conceived following a couple of unique events- firstly, seeing Ween live and experiencing them absolutely shred my (Steve) face-off at the Met Theater in December of 2021, and my buddy Mike Matteson telling me that “You should write more songs in four with an easily identifiable rhythm”. Experiencing Ween live, had inspired me to try and write a song that was a bit out there for us style-wise, yet have it still maintain that Stone Eye sound and feel. Mike’s words definitely played a role in the songwriting process as well, as I tried not to veer too far off the deep end when it came to rhythmic experimentation within the riffs and keep it relatively grounded and (mostly) in four. Lyrically, it’s a jab at the whole indie/hipster world following some heat I received for my Doordash on tour comments in the twitter-verse. It’s about as autobiographical as I have ever been!” – Stephen Burdick
January 27, 2023 – London based, alternative rock artist CHAIDURA has released the official music video for his newest single, “With You.” Written & performed by the artist, “With You” was directed by CLARE CHONG.
Sonically, with you is a blend of electronic, emo and metal compiled into one unique product. The song begins with an arpeggiated synth that builds up to the cathartic main riff that is full of emotion and heart.
“Through heart to heart conversations with my fans, I realize that life is getting more and more difficult these days for all of us. We are all struggling to survive and I share and feel all your pain. “With You” is a dedication to my fans who is going through a tough time and I want you to know that I’m with you” – CHAIDURA

Get ready for the Chaidura experience.
MAISY KAY Releases New Single & Video Inspired by the Avatar Cinematic Universe “The Beast Within” PRESS HERE to Listen PRESS HERE to Watch

December 12, 2022 – Inspired by blockbuster franchise Avatar, rising pop artist Maisy Kay has released her new single “The Beast Within,” a powerful, otherworldly anthem about recognizing your true potential, facing your fears, and becoming the strongest version of yourself. PRESS HERE to listen to “The Beast Within” and PRESS HERE to watch the breathtaking, fantastical video which sees Maisy step into a vibrant, rich world inspired by the Avatar cinematic universe to confront her demons and sing in both English and Na’vi, the fictional language from the blockbuster franchise.
Maisy wrote the song as part of a full album at the suggestion of Avatar director James Cameron himself, who was drawn to Maisy after she sang in the fictional Na’vi language from the film on the viral hit “The Storm.” She recorded “The Beast Within” at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios alongside a 92-piece orchestra that included contributors to the original Avatar film score, as well as conductor JAC Redford and engineer Simon Rhodes.
“I’d love to see people free themselves from what has been restricting them,” shares Maisy on the song’s message. “Embrace yourself and don’t hold back.”
Magnifying the most intimate emotions into songs that contain entire worlds, “The Beast Within” follows the release of her Halloween-inspired EP Psycho which drew upon Maisy’s love of horror movies to welcome standout singles “Psycho” and “Widowmaker.” Maisy also recently released singles “Emotionally Unavailable,” a maximalist synth-pop bop inspired by experiences dating in the digital world that alongside a campy, fun music video with a chilling twist that is equal parts Clueless and The Silence of the Lambs, and “Karma is a Bitch Like You,” a darkly explosive middle finger to anyone who has ever done you wrong, which followed a remix of “Scared Together.” With more music on the way, Maisy is perfecting the “sad banger” – pairing feel-good pop perfection with melancholy lyrics and hiding sadness just beneath her music’s danceable surface.
Working with industry titans such as Timbaland, Tiesto, Billy Idol, Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins, and Max Martin protégé Lukas “LULOU” Loules, Maisy creates left-of-center pop that elegantly warps reality into something much more fantastical. Set to make her own distinct mark with her nostalgic, R&B-laced dance-pop, Maisy was plucked from obscurity for her talent and dropped in LA where she honed her craft and found her voice – going from English schoolgirl to LA songstress with over 100 million cumulative streams.
An artist with no limit to her radiant imagination, Maisy features on soundtracks to acclaimed video games like Lorelai and has sung in Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese to relate to as many people from as many different backgrounds as possible while contributing spellbinding vocals and sharply poetic Japanese lyrics to pop artist Anly’s #1 Spotify viral hit “Distance.” Recently on the cover of Rollacoaster, Maisy has received acclaim from Wonderland, Interview Magazine, Flaunt, Hollywood Life, Popdust, Popmatters, Idolator, and more.
Announce New Forthcoming Album ‘hope is a cult‘ Out on February 17, 2023
Wednesday, December 14, 2022 – Swedish electropop-metal quartet Solence has dropped their latest music video “nuBlood” featuring Fame On Fire vocalist Bryan Kuznitz. Not only that, but fans can also look forward to the band’s forthcoming album ‘hope is a cult‘ set for release on Friday, February 17 (via Hopeless Records). Speaking on today’s news, the band shares:
“’NuBlood’ is a song about all the old dudes starting wars and oppressing people just to be able to cling on to their puny power! Just step aside. Your time is up. Out with the old, in with the new.
‘NuBlood’ is also a straight-up banger so hold on ‘cuz this chorus is like sticking your head out the window whilst driving 100mph on the freeway!!
“We’re also so extremely excited to finally be able to share ‘hope_is_a_cult’ with all the Solence family…and the not yet inaugurated ones!! We’ve worked so hard and so long on this and we truly feel like this is such an important step for us in our journey to write the most “Solence” of songs that we can write. This album goes up, down, sideways, then we solo for a bit, and then it’s head-banging and big choruses!
We’re super proud of this and hope you’re as excited as we are for ‘hope_is_a_cult’!!!”

Rain Down
Best For You
Demons

Antidote

Blood Sweat Tears
No matter where we come from, music draws us together and bonds us. For as much as SOLENCE sonically conjoin elements of metal, electronic, alternative, and pop, the Swedish group also appeal to an expansive swath of personalities with a universal message. Equally suitable for the mosh pit or Coachella, the band—Markus Videsäter [vocals], David “Viking” Vikingsson [drums], David Strääf [guitar], and Johan Swärd [keys]—rally around a familial energy meant to be shared as loudly as possible. After quietly generating north of 200 million streams and counting, they welcome everyone closer on their third full-length offering and Hopeless Records debut, hope is a cult, and more to come.
“We want to build up this family around positivity, hope, and the belief you can change things,” notes Markus. “We want you to forget everything that bothers you when you listen to this album. If we’re doing our job, audiences feel like they’re a part of it. When you go to a SOLENCE show, you have a good time, so hope is a cult for us.”
