W.A.S.P. now release a lyric video adaption for the song “Docter Rockter” from the original motion picture, that comes as part of “ReIdolized (The Soundtrack to the Crimson Idol)” on BluRay and DVD! The song displays Jonathan Aaron Steele’s path to self-destruction through drug abuse and meaningless encounters to numb the pain he feels inside.
Blackie Lawless states about the video: “Few times in life or art does reality mirror or equal imagination. The casting of the characters in this portion of the story, specifically “Doctor Rockter” was precisely what I had envisioned when
I conceived those lyrics. Rarely does it marry together as well as it did in this video. The characters were suitably revolting…….and REAL!”

Ireland! Shamrocks, shenanigans, sheep and pubs are some of the many highlights the Emerald Isle has to offer – that`s what Hungarian punk rockers Paddy And The Rats rightfully realized and quickly whipped out their fiddles and plugged in their guitars.
On April 6th you ´ll be able to hear their new record „Riot City Outlaws“ to which they have released a new video clip now.
Watch Where The Red Paints The Ocean:
The song says is all: it`s one thing to dream about being Irish, but the Miskolc-based six piece instead brooded over a couple of cold beers and rum casks and decided to throw a hefty dose of pirate-isms, polka and gypsy punk into the mix! Their fifth album Riot City Outlawsis a bold step into a bright future boosted by the raw and powerful production by Grammy winner Cameron Webb (Motörhead, Megadeth, Social Distortion, Pennywise). Both Cameron and singer Paddy O`Reilly opted for a cool pop-punk approach in the vein of Green Day – overflowing with catchy choruses and dynamic up-tempo songs, Of course there are pirate party anthems like ‘Join the riot‘ and ‘One last ale‘, as well as shanties such as ‘Black Sails‘ and ‘Where Red Paints the Ocean‘ equally show the darker side of life on the Seven Seas. Tipsy ballads ‘Castaway‘ and ‘Another life‘ plus a healthy infusion of Irish influenced punk rock songs (‘Blow‘, ‘Aerolites‘) round off a grimy pirate party bringing unwashed pub glory straight to your merry home!
‘Riot City Outlaws’ is available to pre-order from Napalm Records
