Flush-Community rockers Flush release their sophomore album ‘Noises’, a musical sanctuary for misfits across the world

Finnish rockers Flush are releasing their second full length album, Noises, on 29th November 2024. The band continues its journey to create a safe space and vibrant community to those for whom the world today sometimes feels a bit too much. Taking inspiration from legendary punk acts and critical thinkers
like Charles Bukowski, the band delivers its unique blend of punk, grunge, alternative rock, and metal. With their sincere and thought-provoking lyrics, the band provides a musical sanctuary for misfits all over the world. Flush calls their style of music community rock, best summarized in the last lines of their upcoming song We’re Not Yet Alright: “We’re all fucked so let’s be fucked together”.

 

Over the last few years, Flush has delivered its community-building message to the world with their two earlier releases, receiving positive reviews from rock magazines and gathering hundreds of thousands of streams from all over the world on Spotify. Now, Flush’s second album Noises will be released through Wormholedeath Records. Two singles will be released prior to the album, both with accompanying music videos:


1. Headspinner – 25th October 2024
2. Dive – 8th November 2024

The main theme of the album is anxiety, and the songs include stories about personal experiences as well as reflections on society. Flush does not shy away from topics like domestic violence, the death of family members, alcoholism, break-ups or the end of the world, but to balance things out, the band also
writes about space satellites, owls, multi-universe taxis and days on the beach. Hence, it’s not all doom and gloom, and lyrically this is also the sexiest Flush has ever been. Musically, the band has focused on creating songs that work well on live stages, leading to plenty of dynamic elements, catchy riffs and the occasional big choruses.

References: Bad Religion, Deftones, 90s alternative rock and grunge, Biffy Clyro, Charles Bukowski.


The album was recorded in June 2024 with sound engineer Owe Inborr at Wolfthrone Studios. Flush has
also collaborated closely with visual designer Pedro Bergamo for the band’s new visual appearance, music videos, and promotional photographs. The album cover art is made by AD Tuomo Heiti. Wormholedeath Records (Italy) distributes the album globally, and Flush also works with PR agencies Ginger Vine Management & PR (Finland) and Rogue PR (UK).

Janne Kontiokorpi: guitars, backing vocals

perfectly. This EP is under twelve minutes long so you really have no excuse to not check it out.

Seriously.” (Girl at the Rock Shows, US)


“This is a very impressive EP that really has me looking forward to hearing what they have up their sleeves next.” (The Music Korner)

The Grammy-nominated hit-maker earned the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart-more than any other artist- since his debut in 2005, with “songs of small-town living, love and loss that have resonated with a loyal fanbase” (Billboard). With the 2023 release of his 11th studio album, HIGHWAY DESPERADO, and his sold-out nationwide Highway Desperado Arena Tour, Aldean continued his “country superstar status” (Variety). The album earned the Georgia native his first career Hot 100 chart-topping hit with “Try That In A Small Town”- which earned Billboard Award nominations (2023) for “Top Song Sales Artist” and “Top Selling Song”- as well as the fan-favorite track “Let Your Boys Be Country” and current single, “Whiskey Drink.” Produced by longtime producer Michael Knox, Highway Desperado followed Aldean’s double album, MACON, GEORGIA, which earned the singer/songwriter praise for honing “in on his vision for this era of his career” and kicking off “his career’s next era” (The Tennessean).

Smile Empty Soul Release New Single “Violence” via

Smile Empty Soul Release New Single “Violence” via

 

Alt-rock veterans Smile Empty Soul have unveiled the fifth single, “Violence” from their upcoming EP, Swan Song, which is scheduled for release digitally on  2/28/25 and on vinyl/CD 4/11/25 through TLG|ZOID distributed by Virgin Music Group. The band’s previous four singles have been met with an overwhelmingly positive response, building excitement for the upcoming release.

“‘Violence’ is a song about the many toxic relationships that occur in our society. They seem to be everywhere, be it in the home, the streets, or even the relationship between the people and the government. It’s inescapable,” says Sean Danielsen.

The song was written and produced by Sean Danielsen, engineered by Brian Scheffer, mixed and mastered by Eddie Wohl.

 

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 distributed by 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.

Interview with The Kyle Jordan Project

Posted on by Brien Mitchum

Read Time:3 Minute, 37 Second

Interview With the Kyle Jordan Project

1. What’s the name of the band?

We’re called The Kyle Jordan Project. Pretty straightforward—it started with me, Kyle, and then
grew into this collaborative beast of a band. I still take on the role as the executive producer –
similar to Mark Ronson, DJ Kahled, or Alan Parsons.

2. Where are you from?

I’m from Victoria, B.C., but the band is spread out a bit. This makes the recording process a bit
more remote, but it works for us. Playing live and touring just means a bit of extra planning.

3. What type of music do you play?

We’re modern rock with a twist. Think heavy guitar-driven sound, but we mix in elements of folk,
blues, and Americana. It's like if Imagine Dragons, The Glorious Sons, and 21 Pilots had a jam
session and invited some old-school roots vibes to the party.

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

I’m Kyle Jordan May—I handle songwriting, producing, drums, some of the guitars, and
occasional vocals. Greg Van Kerkhof is my right-hand guy, working on songwriting and bass.
Then there’s Erick Gerber, my other right-hand guy, he’s a creative powerhouse in the writing
and producing department. He’s also the best guitar player I have ever met.

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?

Growing up, it was my Dad’s music like: Janis Joplin, Zeppelin, The Stones, Nickelback, April
Wine, Green Day (Amazing that my Dad was a Green Day fan before me) and of course Three
Dog Night. My mom was a Christian recording artist, so I had that gospel and worship influence
too: Ken Holloway, Chris Tomlin, etc. Nowadays, I’m digging artists like Noah Kahan, Greta Van
Fleet, The Pretty Reckless, Maneskin and even some blues-inspired stuff. It’s all over the
place—good music is good music.

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

Music’s always been part of my life. I was playing drums in church as a kid, then transitioned
into bars when I got older. It felt natural, but it’s also something I worked hard at. Music was my
outlet, especially when life got heavy—like dealing with a brain tumor. It became a way to process everything.

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

We’re building momentum! Our latest single, Demons, just dropped, and it’s all about
struggles—whether they’re inner or external. After that, we’ve got more singles lined up: Like “Tall Blonde Honey” slated for release on January 21 st , 2025. A tour in 2026 is also in the works. We’re all about connecting with people, whether it’s through a song, a live show, or both.

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

We’re on all the usual spots—Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazing Radio, you name it. Just search The Kyle Jordan Project. Follow us on socials too; we’re always posting updates, behind-the-scenes stuff, and whatever random thing pops into our heads.

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

Man, that’s tough. If I had to pick one, probably Zeppelin. They’re untouchable. I’m also a big fan or The Pretty Restless, 21 Pilots, The Glorious Sons and Maneskin. If we ever had the chance to collaborate with Jessie Murph, Courtney Hadwin, or Jelly Roll I’d jump at it!

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

Imagine opening for The Glorious Sons—that would be insane. Or maybe doing a co-headliner with someone like Imagine Dragons. Either way, it’d be epic.

Thanks for chatting with me, From the Green Room. Looking forward to doing this again
sometime soon!

SoftWave Releases “Will it ever be Christmas”

SoftWave Releases “Will it ever be Christmas”

About the Xmas single…
2 years ago, SoftWave released their first ever Christmas song, ‘Will It Ever Be Christmas Again?’. It is probably the first time in Danish music history that a Danish Christmas synth-pop song has been released.

Leading up to the completion of their 2nd album “things we’ve done” which won silver at ISSA AWARDS 2024 in Atlanta, Jerry Olsen (SoftWave’s producer) sat in the studio and played with a bell sound, which captured him so much that it unintentionally ended up with the creation of SoftWave’s first Christmas song! With less than 2 months until December 1st, they chose to co-write with a former collaboration partner from Great Britain, Barney Ashton-Bullock.

He is a playwright, poet and
librettist in the project ‘Andy Bell is Torsten’ alongside Erasure’s Andy Bell (see p.3). Barney has previously invited SoftWave to produce 2 remixes for Andy Bell’s sold-out LP (‘Club Torsten’) which ended up on the UK OFFICIAL ALBUM CHARTS in the good company of Vince Clarke (founder of Erasure, Yazoo, Depeche Mode).

SoftWave are known for their uplifting electronic pop music that is inspired by classic English synth- pop with its prominent synthesiser sounds. In this Christmas song, SoftWave’s singer (Catrine Christensen) chose to duet with Barney, who also wrote the lyrics. Together they created the ultimate and most beautiful Christmas atmosphere, seasoned with Jerry’s delicious production and jingle bell sounds.

”
Jerry & Catrine deliver a sparkling glitter wrapped present for our delight, Catrine’s beautiful vocal overlays Jerry’s sublime backing, it’s a brand new song yet the feel of it seems to make you believe it’s a Christmas staple, welcoming & familiar, as if it’s been around forever. And then Barney’s vocal kicks in, bringing a whole new dimension.

”– Erasure4rum.com

SoftWave (bio)

SoftWave is a Danish synth-pop duo, established in 2014 by singer Catrine Christensen and producer
Jerry Olsen without any musical background. Their big visions, uplifting sound and catchy chorus
have taken them far. They have been recognised by great synth pioneers such as OMD, Andy Bell
(Erasure), Chris Payne (ex Visage), Ian Burden (ex Human League) and others.
“
SoftWave made two all new ‘Electro-Noir’ style remixes for my ‘Club Torsten!’ album and I loved
their strong retro inspired synth melodies the first time I heard them and the way Catrine’s vocals

weave in and out so deftly is just gorgeous!.
”

Andy Bell, Erasure

SoftWave’s career started with the review of one of their demos in the Danish music magazine
GAFFA. After the release of the debut album ‘Game On’ (2019), it really took off with chart
positions, concerts and radio airplay both at home and abroad (DR P4 etc.).

“
There’s a bit of Erasure about this SoftWave song, Something Is Missing.”

P4 AFTEN, Danmarks Radio

SoftWave are kicking off 2025 by visiting the UK again! They’ve been nominated as BEST ELECTRO ACT at the Radio Wigwam Awards 2025! You can vote for the band, once a day right here: https://radiowigwam.co.uk/awards_voting/ and tickets can be found here: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/events/landing/71844

Saliva knocks acoustic set out of the park at Podcast & Pours 4

Podcast and Pour’s 4 kicked off at the Elixir in downtown Orlando, and From the Green Room was live on location catch it. The show featured podcast the BS Podcast, aka Jason Bailey a radio personality that had spent close to 20 years in the Orlando at WJJR rock station, who has recently come back the Orlando area. The BS Podcast now a syndicated show and is featured on WJJR and they replay a condensed version on Saturdays, this being the fourth Podcast & Pours he wanted to book a national band, and Saliva came to mind as a great act to book for this event. In support Jason Bailey also brought along longtime friends of the show Distinct Grace, along with a special appearance by local Orlando artist Riley Resa. 

The show kicked off with some podcast shenanigan’s hosted by none other than Jason Bailey of the BS Podcast, and also with long time show guest members of Distinct Grace, then Distinct Grace would open up the musical portion with some originals and some covers with an acoustic set, along with a special appearance from Riley Resa who would perform about 4-5 songs.  The set would conclude, and the headliner would come out. 

Saliva would take the stage to perform their acoustic set, for a band that does not do acoustic sets a lot, nor did they rehearse they killed it. With a mix of covers from Alice in Chains, Phil Collins and others, along with some of their hits and even a few rare songs that are not heard during live performances in a few years.  Saliva even opened the show with an acoustic version of “ladies and Gentleman” mixed in a few other songs that you would not expect to hear acoustically but were glad you got a chance to, and few kick ass mashups.  For not doing a lot of acoustic sets, Saliva kicked ass on this show, if you get the opportunity to catch Saliva perform an acoustic set don’t miss it.

DRUSUNA – BEYOND THE GREEN REALM

Posted on by Brien Mitchum

DRUSUNA – BEYOND THE GREEN REALM

‘Beyond the Green Realm’ is the highly anticipated second album from Pagan Folk band, Drusuna
(Portugal). Embark on a journey to uncover ancestral roots long forgotten, woven into the secret
language of the forest. A tale of a distant past that still breathes, waiting to be heard by those who
care to listen closely within the serene embrace of the green realm. Here, among the solitude of
towering trees, the air hums with the enchantment of mystery and magic, beckoning us deeper into

the woodland's hidden depths.

Drusuna creates Ritual Pagan Folk music as described in this self-penned quotation: “The connection
to the mother earth is what we pursue through our music. Shamanism is presented in our concept as
a link to the ancestral roots to which we belong. The modern world has reached a level where people
have almost lost their connection with nature. Humans are using and have abused the planet to the
point of no return! Despite their intelligence and technology, most of them are not able to raise their
consciousness to a level high enough to hear the planet’s grief, because they are full of arrogance
and greed. It is urgent to find once again the missing link and connect with nature once
more…Drusuna intend to spread this message through their music. Ritual Pagan Folk music!”
With such a poetic introduction, it is without doubt that Drusuna offer a special listening
experience. Drusuna is a Pagan Folk Band from Gallaecia (Northern Portugal). The roots of the
Drusuna project began in 2009 with Sephirus and brother Alvahagal.  The initial idea was to create
primitive sounds with only organic ethnic musical instruments made from wood, stones, and other
natural elements. The main idea was to build something directly from the roots of the earth,
because the call of nature was the driving force behind each project. After two years of productive
rehearsals came the concept of their debut album, ‘Kaytos Kom’ (2016). Drusuna left the forest and
hit the stage in 2016 at Oestrymnis folk festival, Ponte da Barcacelt folk festival and other stages
throughout Portugal. In summer 2017, Drusuna signed with Friendly Folk Records and March/2018

found the release of ‘Kaytos Kom’ in a digital and physical format.  Their singles, ‘Spirits of Ancient
Trees’ (July/2020), ‘Solitary Woods’ (March/2021) and ‘The Eldon Grove’ (Sept/2022) pave the way

for their brand-new album ‘Beyond The Green Realm’!

LUNA KILLS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM DEATHMATCH

BAND SHARES VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “SUGAR RUSH”

Rising Finnish alt-metal force LUNA KILLS are making waves with the announcement of theird ebut album DEATHMATCH, set for a worldwide release on April 4 via SharpTone Records. DEATHMATCH is a powerful collision of vulnerability and aggression that captures the chaos and conflict within the mind with unflinching honesty. The album’s raw and electrifying tracks delve into the complexities of mental health and the longing for escapism.

Following the success of their crushing debut single “slay ur enemies,” LUNA KILLS are keeping the momentum alive with the release of their second single, “sugar rush.” The electrifying track balances ferocious riffs with haunting melodies, capturing the exhilarating highs and devastating lows of chasing fleeting thrills.

The band explains, “‘sugar rush’ captures the drive to pursue happiness in the face of persistent self-doubt. Centered around the struggle to find happiness despite a constant sense of never measuring up, the song delves into the pressures of a world that demands overachievement and monetization of everything, ultimately draining the joy from passions that once gave life meaning.”

Reflecting on the song’s creation, the band adds, “At the time, before we started writing ‘sugar rush,’ we had been working on other songs for a long period of time and we felt really exhausted and after multiple failed attempts of trying to force ourselves to focus, we felt that we needed to reset our brain and mindset. ‘sugar rush’ became a powerful outlet for all that we were going through, a way to channel exhaustion and frustration with the pressures of perfectionism and constant productivity. The creative process itself almost became a form of catharsis, a reset, allowing us to confront those feelings directly and then transform them into something meaningful.”

LUNA KILLS have also revealed an exciting lineup of tour dates and festival appearances, starting with select shows in Finland and culminating in an album release show on April 5, 2025, at On The Rocks in Helsinki. They’ll hit the stage both as headliners and in support of notable acts such as Blind Channel and Warmen, bringing their ferocious live energy to fans across Europe.

ABOUT LUNA KILLS:
LUNA KILLS are, without a doubt, one of the most refreshing modern metal act in the scene, combining alternative and nu-metal vibes with electronics inspired by game soundtracks. Their frontwoman Lotta, with her jazz singing background and incredible fry scream vocals, brings the audience to their knees — unless they are speeding around in moshpits, as often witnessed in their fiery live shows. Even as newcomers, LUNA KILLS have already opened the door to their beloved gaming world as their music is featured in the hit mobile app Beatstar. The band, first formed in 2019, has now taken their first steps on European stages, gained the attention of multiple rock radios in their native Finland and are moving forward towards their first full-length album with SharpTone Records.
