France's post-metal STONEBIRDS unveil pre-apocalyptic new song "Animals"

The post-metal soundtrack for those wanting to slow-down, seat-back and relax while reflecting on time and life in general... summer is dead, summer is gone!

Enter the eye of the storm with post-metal trio STONEBIRDS and their new song "Animals", streaming now on The Obelisk.net -but we wanted to have you the chance to stream it on GAN as well.
Their second full-length, titled "Time", is due out on October the 20th.
Qualified as "55 minutes’ worth of progressive heavygaze fluidity" by The Obelisk, new album "Time"confirms the unique, juggernaut brand of post-metal matured on STONEBIRDS' Pink Tank Records debut "Into The Fog...", and their ability to write deeply emotional and complex songs.
Once again recorded at Kerwax Studio, the atmospheres on the album get considerably heavier and darker, while relying on spine-chilling atmospheric climaxes. Living up to expectations rose by their debut effort, STONEBIRDS deliver an ambitious, pre-apocalypse worthy full-length that establishes them as a singular voice in the heavy music landscape.

GBH new album out in November - the music video for the title track "Momentum" is up

Hey! UK's GBH has a new record comin' out this November the 17th on Hellcat records.
The title track doesn't disappoint, I mean it's GBH-ish, perhaps, a bit polished (definitely sounding tight and good), but we're in 2017, right? Do you still wish the band to sound as rancid as back in the 80's?


Brazil's QUESTIONS "Lutar" video up now

Sao Paulo's QUESTIONS have a video up for the very first song sung in their own language -Portuguese.
Perhaps, it's hard or immpossible for you to understand the lyrics but the song truly kicks  some arses.

Amsterdam-based Drunk-Reggae-Punks, JAYA THE CAT are back with their new album, 'A Good Day For The Damned' - Set for a November 17th release through Bomber Music.
Having finally taken a break from a relentless touring schedule through clubs and festivals all across the world, which have propelled Jaya The Cat to the forefront of the European punk rock scene, the band recently spent a month in Berlin’s Studio Wong recording their fifth album, 'A Good Day For The Damned'.

"We hope to have created something people can connect to." says vocalist Geoff Lagadec. "It's pretty eclectic, just a bunch of stories in different styles. We keep trying to evolve, yet stay grounded in a punk/reggae aesthetic."

"Sweet Eurotrash is a story about a night of sin, madness and questionable life decisions made in bathroom stalls, ...of overzealous hotel maids and unreasonably early check out times." -Jaya The Cat

THE LILLINGTONS to release new album "Stella Sapiente" on Oct. the 13th

Sci-fi punks alert! Read on Fat Wreck press release on THE LILLINGTONS' return...

It’s been over a decade since The Lillingtons released a full-length album—and an anomaly of a record at that. 2006’s The Too Late Show proved The Lillingtons were just as powerful as they were in their initial run, even if the band wasn’t inclined to hop back in the van and be a full-time concern. But with recent spats of activity—touring sporadically and releasing the Project 313 7-inch on Red Scare Industries—*The Lillingtons* are once again giving this band thing a go.

Having signed to Fat Wreck Chords, The Lillingtons toiled away on their new record in secret, crafting an album that is both a continuation of the band’s legacy and a dramatic reinvention. It’s called Stella Sapiente, a title that vocalist-guitarist Kody Templeman says roughly translates to “wisdom of the stars,” and that phrase proves apt given his claim that it’s “centered around secret societies, astrology, and the occult.” This kind of subject matter makes perfect sense for The Lillingtons, a band that has never— and likely will never—find much interest in the mundane. Their songs are pulpy vignettes steeped in intrigue, unraveling mysteries, conspiracies, and cloak-and-dagger operations while bashing through buzzy, pop-focused punk songs.
