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

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.”

Break Me Down – Cover Artwork

 

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 1st quarter of 2025.   Tour dates are in the works to begin in late spring of 2025.

[NENAD]: “Dubai”


[ROMAN]: “Zauralie”

3. What type of music do you play?

classical music and electronic gothic.”

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

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.”

Shut. Then I had a period of being fun of Rammstein, Aria, Nightwish, and Blind

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

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

show.”

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 by Brien Mitchum

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 1st 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.

 

CARSEX is

Nigel Burk – Vocals

Shane Lausch – Lead Guitar

Justin Jolley – Rhythm Guitar

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

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 Irian Darkwood

1. What’s the name of the band/artist?

A: My name is Irian Darkwood

2. Where are you from?

I am from Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada

3. What type of music do you play?

I sing rock/metal music.

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

My name is Irian Darkwood, I’m a Canadian metal/rock artist, I am a musician who
started out in karaoke, found my love for preforming there, and started making my own
music 

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 actually had a lot of country influences growing up, but my biggest one was my father,
who loved music, had a huge collection of it, and we would always hear music in the house,
in the car, on road trips, he liked anything from Marty Robbins to Backstreet Boys

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

I have been singing since I was quite small, I would always sing for people ( to their
annoyance lol), I remember my grandfather called me his ‘ little canary’, so the singing was
kind of a natural thing more or less, but I had to overcome serious shyness and anxiety (
still do), to be able to preform as I do today.

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

Lots of upcoming releases for music, hopefully we get some live gigs, keep an eye out on
Facebook, instagram and YouTube, you’ll see updates and things there!

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

Interview with Talk Radio

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

1. What’s the name of the band?
Talkradio.

2. Where are you from?

Melbourne, Australia.

3. What type of music do you play?


I’d say “alternative” or “indie” rock would be as close as you can get.

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


My name is Alex. I’m the only one in this project. I write all the music and lyrics,
perform all the vocals, play the drums, guitars, keys/piano and any other required
percussion, as well as create all the artwork for the CD releases.

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?


It’s a bit of a mix. To begin with, I learnt drums in my teens. My uncle was a great
drummer (mum’s cousin really) and he was a huge fan of people like Billy Cobham and
Ginger Baker. Through my own musical explorations, I added people like Neil Peart,
Virgil Donati and Danny Carey to that list (unbelievably I ended up becoming friends
with a singer who worked with Virgil and took my uncle to a gig). Once I started singing,
I was being inspired by people like Bruce Dickinson, John Farnham and, my ultimate
hero, Chris Cornell. These days, my influences are purely from a song writing
perspective. For years, my number one song writing influence has been Foo Fighters. I’m
a huge admirer of Dave Grohl’s ability to churn out melodic hooks like he has a
bottomless pit of ideas. Other influences include Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Radiohead and
The Beatles.

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


I’ve been told I’ve always been musical. I used to drum in time to songs from the age of
3. Even so, music wasn’t my first artistic pursuit. I started as an actor at the age of 12. I
did quite a bit of theatre, TV and even a film over a period of 5 years. When I finished
high school and it was time to go to uni, my parents stopped supporting my acting
ambitions. They actively blocked my attempts, which was simple for them really. All
they had to do was stop driving me around to where I needed to go. By the time I got my
licence and was able to get around myself, my acting agency had been sold, I was no

longer on their books and my actors equity membership had expired. At this stage, I had
no drum kit at home either and was relegated to practicing on various pieces of furniture
in front of the stereo. At some point my cousin, who happened to be a great drummer,
invited me to watch his band at a rehearsal studio. It turned out they had no singer and
insisted I get on the microphone to give them a guide. It took a lot of convincing. They
kept asking me back every weekend. That’s how the singing began. Not long after that, I
joined a band and signed up for singing lessons.

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

I’m currently working on my next recording. It will be a 5 track EP. I won’t be waiting to
do entire albums anymore.

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


Everything I have can be found on www.talkradioaus.com.au, including where you can
find my music. You can also follow on www.facebook.com/talkradio.aus.

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


Soundgarden, with Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam close behind.

10. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would
you choose?
Opening for Foo Fighters would be the pinnacle of anything I’d ever achieved. I don’t
think I’d even care if I didn’t get paid. That sounds so ridiculous that even typing that
answer is making me giggle.

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

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.
