Southern California’s genre-warping upstarts Integra Pink return with their most urgent and unpredictable release yet, “Spiderman Piñata,” out on March 27th via Futureless. The single

Every year brings a cycle in which I swear up and down to try and expand my musical horizons, which for the most part I absolutely fail at. The early […]

As part of their ongoing tour, Nate Ruess’ recently-reunited the Format have been hosting little pop-up shindigs called Saturdays In The Park, where they spend Saturdays in a nearby park doing free acoustic performances and spotlighting local organizations doing good work. Sometimes those performances include special guests, and this past Saturday in Boston Common, that special guest was Joyce Manor frontman Barry Johnson.

Zebrahead have offered up the first taste of the final piece of their recent series of EPs, and it finds them in suitably energetic form.

Titled ‘BURN BURN BURN’, it’s a track that embodies all of the chaos and catchiness that has propelled the band forward through all of the years. From the rollicking beat to the final sensational melody, it’s a screeching weasel of a ride, full of banshee wails, lightning-fast solos and endless cheekiness.

It feels as fresh as it feels like home. More than anything, it sounds like nobody but Zebrahead.

Vocalist Ali Tabatabaee had this to say about the release, stating, “‘Burn, Burn, Burn’ is straight energy from the jump. “It’s aggressive but still super melodic, and it’s got this bounce to it that just makes you want to move.”

Drummer Ed Udhus add, “‘Burn Burn Burn’ is our version of Slayer and Taylor Swift doing Redbull vodka shots at the pool on Spring Break till 6AM.”  

Whilst guitarist Dan Palmer concludes, “‘Burn, Burn, Burn’ is a slammer of a song that kicks off the release of a new batch of songs! It’s heavy, melodic, and it has one of the shreddiest solos I’ve ever done! I’m really proud of this one, and it’ll get the headbangers banging away!”

It’s taken from the newly announced EP ‘O’, which completes the band’s series of four, following up 2021’s ‘III’, 2023’s ‘II’ and 2024’s ‘I’.

Dying Victims Productions can always be counted on to deliver bands that provide fresh takes on classic styles. And Bavaria’s Zerre is no exception, having begun as a modern hardcore band and morphing into a thrash metal monster-squad since their reformation in 2022. On the band’s latest album, Rotting on a Golden Throne, Zerre delivers all the essentials for thrash metal maniacs: solid and scorching vocals, muscular and powerful riffs, and relentless bass and drumwork. Stylistically, the band references early Metallica and Exodus, and I would add distinct notes of the first three Testament albums and some Nuclear Assault as well.

Thrash metal has been done and overdone again and again over the decades, but there’s a good reason bands keep coming back to it — it’s because records like this one still need to be written.

According to the band:

Rotting on a Golden Throne is the result of us pushing everything a bit further — faster riffs, more aggression, more atmosphere and a darker overall feel. We kind of took the first album as the foundation and made a huge step in finding our own sound, making it more intense, heavy, cohesive and direct. It‘s definitely way more thrash and less punk than the previous record.

Rotting on a Golden Throne comes out via Dying Victims Productions this Friday.

Birmingham guitarist and singer-songwriter Taylor Hollingsworth has built a devoted following through his solo work and as a member of Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, earning acclaim for his cosmic fingerpicking and distinctive “folk-art-punk-blues” style. We caught Hollingsworth for the first time last year at a rocking solo show in Brooklyn, and we’ve […]
