Swedish dark sleaze metallers ToxicRose recently released their latest singles ‘Domination’ and ‘Outta Time’, hitting prominent Spotify and Apple Music Hard Rock playlists. They are set to release their sophomore album IN FOR THE KILL via Crusader Records (digitally and CD) on September 24th. A vinyl will be released in November.
ToxicRose are indeed back with a vengeance! The long awaited sophomore album from Swedish metal-band Toxicrose is almost here. The Stockholm-based quartet is known for their huge, heavy mix of metal and sleaze, and this album is no exception. With 10 fist pumping tracks filled with big choruses, In For The Kill is an album that fires from all cylinders from start to finish.
Embraced internationally, GROOM EPOCH, a creative platform for former Church drummer Richard Ploog, are about to release their third album, Initiation. Fellow mainstay musicians Phil Hall, Brett Myers, John Hoey, Cub Calloway, with guesting from Amanda Brown, are responsible for Groom Epoch’s latest shimmering sound.
Their new single ‘Soft Explosion’ is available now on all digital platforms via Golden Robot Records. Listen/Buy ‘Soft Explosion’ HERE
‘Soft Explosion’ (mixed, mastered and co-produced by world acclaimed David Pendragon at Canberra Studios) is a lush rockist’s soirée into the ins and mostly outs of a lunatic’s thought projection, coming at you from the bubbling cauldron that is Richard Ploog’s imagination.
This song evokes various scenescapes throughout the panoramic lyrics, backed by the acclaimed musicianship of the rock royalty elite of Australia.
According to who you talk to, rock and roll is either dying out, evolving, or back in full swing. In the case of the POISON BOYS from Chicago, they’re pumping new life into the genre and keeping it as punk as possible.
POISON BOYS have today released their new single ‘Little Speedway Girl’ via Riot Records. This single is a tasty little punk rock romp that channels all the good vibes from rock legends like New York Dolls, The Stooges, Kiss, and UK punk acts such as The Heartbreakers and The Vibrators.

‘Little Speedway Girl’ is about meeting a girl at a gas station. And not just any gas station… Speedway. It lines the midwestern US on almost every corner. This person meets a girl who judges a book by its cover and initially thinks he sucks. But after talking with him, she realises that he is not so bad. She ends up telling him to stick around till she’s off work to hang out.
The huge chorus has had punks singing along since the song initially appeared on the b-side to 2017’s Bad Mouth 7″, and the song is finally getting its due here re-recorded for Don’t You Turn on Me.
DAVE COUTTS has been dedicated to his love of music from a young age. Part of bands Ten Inch Men and Talk Show, Coutts is now back with a new single ‘Teargas in August’ and ready to rock with Golden Robot Records.
‘Teargas In August’ is out now digitally, and is the first single to be released by Dave through Golden Robot Records. It is a tasty sample platter of the soft and rockier sides of his style with changing tempos and melodies. The acid trippy flashback lyrics keep you second guessing the true meaning of this tune.
‘Teargas In August’ features some glorious 60s and early 70s melodies akin to The Beatles, The Who and The Kinks.
