FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SINSATION Unleash Dark New Single “Save Us” | A Haunting Journey Through Redemption, Faith, And The Monsters Within
Southern California’s rising vampiric metal force SINSATION have unleashed their powerful new single, “Save Us,” available now through Sodeh Records.
Blending crushing modern metal, groove-laden riffs, haunting melodies, and cinematic horror, “Save Us” is an emotionally charged exploration of humanity’s endless search for salvation. Wrapped in the band’s signature vampiric aesthetic, the song challenges listeners to question who the real monsters are, delivering a message that redemption is rarely simple and often forged through pain, loss, temptation, love, faith, and survival.
Speaking about the release, the band shares:


“‘Save Us’ is a dark and emotional metal journey that explores the many ways humanity searches for salvation. Through haunting melodies, crushing riffs, and vampiric imagery, the release examines redemption not as a single answer, but as a struggle fought through pain, loss, temptation, love, faith, and survival. ‘Save Us’ paints a world where monsters are not always evil, and humans are not always innocent.”


Emerging from Southern California, SINSATION has quickly carved out its own identity within the metal underground by combining modern heavy music with theatrical horror and gothic storytelling. Since forming in 2019, the band has become known for its explosive live performances, cinematic visuals, and unmistakable vampire-inspired image, earning a dedicated following known as the SINSATION Nation .
The band’s current lineup features Amy Bowman (vocals), Sammy McPherson (guitar, backing vocals), Brian Hatter (bass, vocals), Tyler Perez (guitars, backing vocals), and Tommy De La Cruz (drums). Together they deliver a relentless blend of powerful vocal melodies, crushing grooves, and horror-infused atmosphere that sets them apart from the pack.
Produced with engineer Brian Hatter and mixed and mastered by Robert Passagno , “Save Us” captures the band’s evolving sound with massive production, dynamic songwriting, and enough bite to satisfy fans of heavy music and horror alike.
With a growing catalog of singles and cinematic music videos, SINSATION continues to expand its reach beyond Southern California while staying true to its dark artistic vision. Whether commanding the stage at legendary venues or crafting new material in the studio, the band remains committed to delivering unforgettable experiences that blur the line between metal concert and horror spectacle.
If you’re ready to embrace the darkness, SINSATION welcomes you into the SINSATION Nation . Just remember… once you’re in, there’s no turning back.

Coby Brown crafts a beautifully introspective piece with Agatha Christie, blending indie folk and singer-songwriter sensibilities into a thoughtful meditation on creativity, self-doubt, and artistic ambition. Gentle instrumentation, expressive vocals, and poetic lyricism create an intimate atmosphere that gradually blossoms with elegant string arrangements, adding emotional depth without overshadowing the song’s understated beauty. Every element serves the narrative, allowing vulnerability and melody to coexist in perfect balance. Sophisticated, heartfelt, and richly rewarding, Agatha Christie is a timeless composition that showcases Coby Brown’s exceptional songwriting and emotional authenticity.

Putnam Avenue in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood now shares a name with one of the most influential rappers of all time. Yesterday, with an official ceremony that brought together friends, family, and government officials, Putnam Avenue also became ODB Jones Way, named after Wu-Tang Clan co-founder Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

You’ve surely seen some of the rave reviews for …To The Bone, the debut album from New Orleans-based Badzy. I sure don’t disagree with anything I’ve read about this record. Three years in the making, …To The Bone is pure energy and catchiness from start to finish. It hits that sweet spot where power pop, glammy punk rock ‘n’ roll, and big, hooky arena rock all crash into each other at full speed. There’s no pretension to what these guys are doing. They are throwbacks to a time when rock ‘n’ roll was loud and fun but never afraid to be radio friendly. This is a great record to throw on when you’re having a good time or want to be having a good time. The band’s sound is the epitome of powerful pop, and it’s plenty gritty enough to fit nicely within the underground punk rock ‘n’ roll bubble. But you can also tell that there’s some Def Leppard, KISS, and Cheap Trick in its spiritual DNA. Sometimes the key with rock ‘n’ roll is not taking yourself too seriously but being damn serious about the craft of songwriting. Tracks like “Say That You Will,” “Say You’re Ready,” and “Ain’t That Enuff” would be radio hits in some alternative timeline where they still play real rock ‘n’ roll on commercial radio. “Shadows” is full-on classic power pop. “Ripped Outta Time” and “Bad Til I Die” venture into heavy metal territory without a trace of irony and kick all kinds of ass. This is an absolutely killer album. I can’t help but be reminded of the early 2010s when the likes of The Mandates, Barreracudas, and WYLDLIFE were just coming on the scene. This year in music continues to please!

My first reaction to The Speed Dials’ demo was “Wow!” I’m always excited to hear straight-forward power pop carried off with tremendous energy and perfect simplicity. And it didn’t take me long to recognize a familiar voice on lead vocals. The Speed Dials are a little bit of a Philadelphia indie-pop supergroup. The band is made up of Brendan from Log Flume on guitar/vocals, Dale from Civil Rats/Dummest Records on bass, and Ryan from Mango Safari on drums. That’s an impressive lineup, and the songs live up to the pedigree. You can hear elements of these guys’ other bands, but The Speed Dials are a royal treat for fans of classic power pop. In this age of streaming, the line between a proper demo and a self-released home-recorded EP has been blurred. So I like that The Speed Dials are calling this a demo. It suggests that this is just the start of something much bigger. The band just played its first show on July 15th, and it is set to record a debut album in the fall. These four songs are just a little taste of what the album will be, and it’s immediately obvious that these guys have got something special going. All these songs are really good, but the band was wise to lead with “Ordinary” —a bona fide hit in any era. And looking at the band’s logo, I can’t help but feel a little twinge of nostalgia for the age of landline phones! Remember when you had to physically pick up a phone to call your girlfriend or boyfriend? Power pop fans, you’ll want to get in on the ground floor floor with The Speed Dials!

The Horses deliver a heartfelt indie rock anthem with Maybe If I Tried, blending jangly guitars, soaring melodies, and emotionally resonant songwriting into a compelling listen. Rooted in themes of regret, hope, and second chances, the track balances melancholy with an uplifting spirit that never loses its momentum. Warm vocal delivery and dynamic instrumentation give the song an effortless sense of authenticity, while its memorable chorus lingers long after the final note. Drawing from classic guitar-pop traditions without feeling nostalgic for nostalgia’s sake, Maybe If I Tried highlights The Horses’ impressive songwriting chemistry and knack for crafting timeless, emotionally rich indie rock.
