RIVAL SONS RHYTHM SECTION TALK ABOUT STYLE AND INFLUENCES

Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS have just released their mind-blowing new album, PRESSURE & TIME, in Europe.  The album is due to be released in North America on July 26th.

Noted for their eclectic playing styles, the band's rhythm section of MICHAEL MILEY (drums) and ROBIN EVERHART (bass) took some time to talk about their styles, influences and icons.

MICHAEL MILEY: "I grew up loving Cream, The Beatles, McCartney and Lennon solo, as well as some of the muso music like Steely Dan and Phil Collins.  My first albums I bought when I got my first drum set (aged 9) were Motley Crue 'Shout at the Devil' and Madonna 'self-titled'.  In high school and college I got heavily into jazz (big band and bebop) and Frank Zappa.  My favorite drummers are Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell, Tony Williams, Roy Haynes, Elvin Jones, Jeff Porcaro, and Vinnie Colaiuta.  Mostly, I like drummers who play from the gut; with feeling - no thinking - and that's what these always offered me."

ROBIN EVERHART: "Growing up I remember listening to a tape in my dad's car, lots, called T'n'T.  It was a compilation of the Temptations and the Four Tops, and it was pretty much the best thing I'd ever heard!  So funky!  And that BASS.  Also, around this time I also got into Earth, Wind And Fire - Verdine White on bass being a HUGE part of their sound.  This was around the time we got to pick our instruments in school.  Our school didn't have a string program, so I picked up saxophone instead, 'cause I'd been listening to my dad's Getz/Gilberto, Dave Brubeck (Paul Desmond on sax) and Henry Mancini 'Pink Panther' vinyls...

"Sax was going okay, but by this time my brother was already playing out in bands, and I had changed schools 'cause I was bored and getting bad grades and getting in trouble at my old school.  As a reward for a good report card I finally got a bass.  I learned everything that was going on at the time: Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, etc...  But then I REALLY got in John Pattitucci, and Jaco was officially down the rabbit hole.  I searched out all their bands and contemporaries.  From there, and from RHCP I got really into funk: James Brown 'In the Jungle Groove', Parliament/Funkadelic, P-funk All Stars.  I also got into '60s Miles Davis classic quintet, and on and on.

"Then it was jazz school.  Also got heavily into The Beatles in college, and underground hip-hop.  And classic hip-hop: A Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, The Beastie Boys.  My bass heroes would have to be James Jamerson, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle, John Patitucci, Larry Graham, Verdine White, Prince, Flea, Sting, Paul McCartney, Paul Jackson Jr., and Paul Chambers."

EVILE REVEAL "FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH" ALBUM TRACK LISTING

British thrashers EVILE recently finished recording their forthcoming new album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH, which is due to be released on September 26th.

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE reveals the track listing for the new album:

"Here's the full track list for our new album, Five Serpent's Teeth.  There's such diversity through this album that I simply can't wait for people to hear these tracks.  We spent a long time in the studio and at home figuring out the best order we could place these tracks in to flow perfectly through the album.  The tracks go from the stomping heaviness of 'Cult', to the eeriness/melancholy of 'In Memoriam', to the pure insanity of 'Descent Into Madness'.  You may have already hear 'Eternal Empire' at earache.com/fst, and if you were at Download festival last weekend and you came to see us, you heard 'Cult'."

The full track listing for FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH is as follows:

01. Five Serpent's Teeth
02. In Dreams of Terror
03. Cult
04. Eternal Empire
05. Xaraya
06. Origin of Oblivion
07. Centurion
08. In Memoriam
09. Descent Into Madness
10. Long Live New Flesh

Listen to the new track "Eternal Empire" now at http://www.earache.com/fst (e-mail required)

OL DRAKE comments on EVILE's recent performance at the UK's Download festival:

"We had a blast at Download festival.  It was our first time there and we were shocked to see how many people squashed into the tent - and it wasn't even raining!  Kerrang gave us the most prestigious honour of a KKKKK review of the show, another thing we were shocked about.  We're now preparing for our next few runs of festivals throughout Europe, all of which you can see at http://www.evile.co.uk/gigs.php"

RIVAL SONS "PRESSURE & TIME" ALBUM OUT NOW IN EUROPE

PRESSURE & TIME, the highly-anticipated new album from Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS, is out now in Europe.

PRESSURE & TIME features ten incredible tracks of raucous, blues-infused rock 'n' roll from one of America's hottest new bands and is available now on CD, limited edition vinyl LP and digital download.

RIVAL SONS bassist ROBIN EVERHART discusses the album:

"'Pressure & Time' was done exactly like we did 'Before the Fire'.  We wrote the tunes that day, all together in the room with our producer, Dave Cobb.  Sometimes it was easy, other times one or two of us would hate what was going on - but always, amazingly, we all love what ended up going down to tape.  It keeps it real interesting for us - and hopefully it translates to the audience.  The discovery process is always the most interesting.  It's a very jazz-like aesthetic.  A lot of the songs are comprised of mostly first-takes.  Sometimes second-takes.  So, there's very little premeditation in our playing.  Anyone can lock themselves in a studio and polish their turds for months on end; then you see them live, and they SUCK or they have to play with tracks 'cause they've fallen in love with their shiny turd so much they don't even want to try and recreate it for fears of coming up short.  We are not afraid to come up short - we have bad shows, but they are guaranteed to be honest representations of how we are feeling that day, same with our album."

RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY adds:

"When we recorded the song 'Pressure and Time', it was maybe the third or fourth song we finished.  Jay had come up with the line, and when we drove home that night I told them I think it's a very appropriate title for the record.  We still had more than half the record ahead of us, so yes, there was some pressure, with little time, but also it was more of a general feeling about life, how in all walks of life we suffer this 'pinch' of pressure and time...  It's universal, and has a bit of conflict and tension in there.

"The idea behind recording in such a short time, or seemingly 'limiting' ourselves is simple: rock 'n' roll has become over-produced and over-worked, leaving minimal or no room for things like danger, visceral energy or capturing an immediate or instinctual reaction in the moment - which, of course, are the building blocks of rock 'n' roll!  We wanted to keep those elements in our recorded music and thought this would be the coolest, most insured way to do it.  In doing this, we are forced to just play what feels 'right', and even if something's not 'perfect', we know we were looking for a feeling happening in the room when we captured it together.  Rock 'n' roll is not perfect, but the best of it is definitely DANGEROUS and IMMEDIATE; that's what we strived for."

GAMA BOMB CHANNEL PHIL LYNOTT FOR NEW ALBUM, ANNOUNCE LIVE STAND-IN FOR INJURED GUITARIST

Irish thrashers GAMA BOMB are currently writing new material for their as-yet untitled new album.

The follow-up to 2009's TALES FROM THE GRAVE IN SPACE will be GAMA BOMB's fourth album and is tentatively due to be released early next year.

GAMA BOMB frontman PHILLY BYRNE comments:

"We're about to enter a studio in central Dublin to work on demos for our new album, which we're hoping to release in early 2012.  In terms of songwriting, we're writing much 'tougher' or meaner songs now.  We want to make music that street gangs could listen to before a fight, songs you can sharpen a switchblade to.  I've been looking a lot to Phil Lynott for inspiration, which can never be a bad thing.  He's always been a big inspiration for us, even if you can't always hear it.

"Mind you, we're also about everything from our history of underage drinking and theoretical physics to drag racing and (of course) cannibalism, so there's no knowing where this one is going to take us.  We're hopefully going to record here in Ireland and we'll pull no punches on either the speed of the riffs or the attitude of the songwriting.  That's the only plan right now."

GAMA BOMB are also gearing up for a string of summer festival dates, but have had to bring in a temporary stand-in for lead guitarist DOMO DIXON for the live shows due to a hand injury.

The band have released the following statement:

"As you may have heard, our guitarist Domo Dixon has suffered a tendon injury to his left hand and will be unable to play with us for the coming period.  Domo severed a tendon in a bizarre trouser accident - that's not a joke - so will have to sit out gigs for the next three months.  We're all very perplexed and upset about it, but are ploughing on with our upcoming European festival appearances.  Playing guitar is Domo's passion and his life, and we're sure all our fans will join us in wishing him a full and speedy recovery.  Until he's back up to shredding speed, we'll be joined on the road by our good friend Kevy Canavan on lead guitar."

See GAMA BOMB live this summer at the following shows:

July 15 - Anyksciai, Lithuania - Devilstone Open Air
July 16 - Aalborg, Denmark - Day of Decay Festival
July 29 - Brande-Hornerkirchen, Germany - Headbangers Open Air

RIVAL SONS DISCUSS THE LOS ANGELES ROCK SCENE

Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS are preparing for the release of their new album, PRESSURE & TIME, which is due to be released next Monday, June 20th in Europe and on July 26th in North America.

The band have taken some time out ahead of the release to discuss the current rock scene in Los Angeles and the members' own experiences of being in a rock 'n' roll band in the City of Angels.

JAY BUCHANAN (vocals): "Los Angeles is as hungry as it's ever been.  Because it is an undeniable hub for the industry, the city is rife with veterans, makers, fakers and rookies alike, but you can usually find one or two bands serving it hot.  This is the way LA was when I found it and it'll be the same when I leave.  The town is our nation's brothel of young musicians."

MICHAEL MILEY (drums): "I've been playing in the LA/Long Beach music scene for a bit.  I've played and recorded with a lot of artists there, namely Bird, Veruca Salt, and Joe Firstman.  The scene has changed greatly.  There is almost an 'every man for himself' vibe, meaning barely any bands will play together and the audience won't stay for the other bands.  People come to see the band they want to see, then leave.  So there is no scene.  It's a bummer."

ROBIN EVERHART (bass): "The general scene in LA is more 'be seen' than 'be heard'.  And as a bass player who grew up in the Motown tradition - a tradition where the Funk Brothers weren't even recognized until the 'Standing in the Shadows of Motown' movie (and book before) came out only a couple of years ago - I wasn't really into it.  Now that we've been doing it longer, we've found our niche of good clubs, with good promoters etc. - basically, making it what we want it to be."

SCOTT HOLIDAY (guitars): "There's a very eclectic music scene in LA...  That said, there hasn't been a lot of actual 'rock 'n' roll'.  I've played with a number of other groups and had other bands in LA that weren't rock 'n' roll, and I'm just grateful for the scene that exists - lots of clubs, parties, industry stuff, and show-goers - it's a good scene.  Starting the Rival Sons was definitely an answer for me - to the lack of genuine rock 'n' roll happening in our scene and in the world in general.  And over the last few years there definitely seems to be a resurgence happening.  LA has been fantastic to us, and has received us (and rock 'n' roll) with open arms.  There's still a lot for us to accomplish in our home town...  We can sell out some of the classic venues, and have got the hipsters dancing, but there's still a few rooms we'd like to fill, and hips we'd like to get shaking."

PRESSURE & TIME is due to be released on CD and LP on June 20th in Europe and on July 26th in North America.  The album will be available on iTunes on June 20th in Europe and on June 21st in North America.

Pre-order PRESSURE & TIME now on CD and limited edition audiophile vinyl in Europe at http://j.mp/jucwYJ or in North America at http://j.mp/mtaFfm

DIAMOND PLATE RELEASE NEW TRACK "AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS"

Chicago thrashers DIAMOND PLATE have released a new track, titled "At the Mountains of Madness".

"At the Mountains of Madness" is the first song to be released from the band's forthcoming debut album, GENERATION WHY?, which was recorded with producer NEIL KERNON (JUDAS PRIEST, NEVERMORE, DEICIDE, 3 INCHES OF BLOOD) and is due to be released on August 29th on Earache Records.

Listen to the new track now at http://www.earache.com/why (e-mail required)

DIAMOND PLATE lead guitarist KONRAD KUPIEC comments:

"All of us couldn't be more excited to release 'At the Mountains of Madness' as the first song off 'Generation Why?'.  With the original video for this song nearing 100,000 views on YouTube, 'Mountains' is arguably the song most people know us by, and we want to give old and new fans the perfect representation of how much we've improved over the past few years.  With this album, the band sounds tighter and heavier, while the song-writing is more focused than ever.

"The song is inspired by the H.P. Lovecraft novel of the same name, although we went deeper than the classic horror story of the novel and made our own social commentary present in the lyrics.  As to our theme, that is for the listener to interpret and figure out.

"Right now we're actually hard at work at writing for the second album (very inspired and not wasting any time haha), while simultaneously preparing to hit the road for the first time in August.  With touring plans already in the works until next year, we will be out for a long time."

GODFLESH CONFIRM FIRST LONDON HEADLINING SHOW IN 12 YEARS

British industrial metal pioneers GODFLESH have confirmed a headlining show at the HMV Forum in London, UK, on June 16th.

GODFLESH made their first UK appearance in over ten years at last year's Supersonic Festival in the band's hometown of Birmingham, where the group were one of the headlining acts.  Now, GODFLESH are returning to London for their first headlining appearance in the city since 1999, with GOATSNAKE and D.R.I. also appearing as special guests.

GODFLESH founding member JUSTIN BROADRICK comments:

"We are excited to be playing our first GODFLESH London headline show since 1999!  In fact, the last time GODFLESH headlined London as originally intended - two men and machines - was around 1995.  We hope our bleak sound and performance impacts like it did some years ago."

Tickets for the show are available now at http://www.hmvtickets.co/events/2756

View the flyer for the show at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/godflesh_16-06.jpg

GODFLESH's seminal 1989 album, STREETCLEANER, was recently remastered and reissued as a deluxe expanded edition, including a bonus disc with 12 previously-unreleased live tracks, remixes and demos with detailed liner notes.

Get STREETCLEANER along with other GODFLESH releases and merch in Europe at http://j.mp/ke3bm8 or in North America at http://j.mp/9iN9vA

The remastered and expanded edition of STREETCLEANER is also available now worldwide on iTunes at http://j.mp/ksDvh4

EVILE UNVEIL NEW TRACK, "ETERNAL EMPIRE"

British thrashers EVILE have unveiled a brand new track, titled "Eternal Empire".

The new track is taken from EVILE's highly anticipated forthcoming new album, FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH, and gives fans their first glimpse at the new material.  FIVE SERPENT'S TEETH is due to be released on September 26th, 2011.

Listen to the incredible new track, "Eternal Empire", now at http://www.earache.com/fst

EVILE lead guitarist OL DRAKE comments:

"It is with great pleasure that we can release 'Eternal Empire' from our upcoming Five Serpent's Teeth album for your listening pleasure.  It was very difficult to pick a single track to showcase the vast diversity included on this album, and I think this one is a good medium to show the direction we have gone with on FST.  I can't wait for you to hear more of the album as, like I said, this album goes through quite a lot of different moods and emotions, in terms of feel and direction, yet is still rooted in the 'Evile sound'.  The awesome Daniel P. Carter of Radio 1's Rock Show will be playing the radio debut of the track TONIGHT on BBC Radio 1, so tune in!  We will also be showcasing another brand new track at Download Festival this weekend.  Lots of Serpent's Teeth coming your way!  See you on that road soon!"

View the flyer for EVILE's upcoming performance at Download Festival at http://earacherecords.com/myspace/evile_download2011.jpg

UK fans can also listen out for "Eternal Empire" tonight (Monday, June 6th) between midnight and 2:00am on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter.
