RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE'S TIM COMMERFORD DROPS NEW WAKRAT LIVE EP & DOCU-FILM ON INAUGURATION DAY

The new 3 track live EP is now available to stream exclusively on Deezer and features explosive recordings from last year's #MakeAmericaRageAgain tour.  Commerford said about the tour:

"Whenever we would speak with anyone, the first question was always about the election.  I'm in a band with Chuck D and Tom Morello right now, and both of those guys have a very poignant opinion on things.  I was as much a student as I was, sometimes, a teacher.  I know that music can change people because I'm different right now.  I would not be the person that I am today if it were not for music, and for being around Zack de la Rocha and Tom Morello, being around the left-of-centre politics that I've been exposed to."

Listen to 'Wakrat - Live in the USA' EP now on Deezer: http://Deezer.lnk.to/Wakrat

Alongside the EP is a short film documenting WAKRAT's time in London last July when they pulled off one of the most audacious protest acts in the history of punk... starting a new sovereign state, the 'Republic of Wakrat' on Parliament's front lawn in protest at the failing global systems.

Watch WAKRAT's exploits in London: http://youtu.be/_NQads2aABs

The fact that this new live EP and docu-video has dropped on the day of Trump's inauguration is no coincidence:

"I hear so many people right now, like 'Oh, you know, he's going to change the country' and blah blah blah, and all this bullshit.  But the fact of the matter is the reason people voted for him is the 18% decrease in taxes.  That's it, that's what it's all about - it's all about the money.  People want more money, and that's the reason why things like this happen.  That's why it went down this way, and that's why we have a very scary situation here.  I was saying this when they were running - and I've heard other people say it too - that he's like Adolf Hitler.  He is Adolf Hitler.  He's fucking Adolf Hitler.  And He. Is. Scary.  All of us should be really scared, and all of us should be prepared for the worst."

Tim Commerford went on to send this message to his fellow Americans:

"America - they say we're divided, and you look at how close the result was, and we are.  I just hope that the 49 million people that voted for Hillary, and the other millions that voted for other people, continue to take to the streets and protest.  Maybe something great will happen from that; that's my hope.  To me, it means make more music.  Music is the platform I've always used for activism, so this lights a fire underneath me to make more music, and try to politicise people with that music."

WAKRAT will be returning to Europe in the summer to play a host of European festivals with PROPHETS OF RAGE.

DANNY WORSNOP RELEASES "DON'T OVERDRINK IT" MUSIC VIDEO - DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!

Nashville-based artist Danny Worsnop has released a music video for his raucous new bar-room anthem, "Don't Overdrink It", depicting another typically crazy night in the British-born musician's wild life.

Filmed with director Blake Judd at Danny's favourite burger bar and watering hole - Jack Brown's Joint - the lighthearted video features an impressive (but definitely not recommended!) drinking session, with Danny knocking back a staggering 23 shots of liquor in the one-take, three-minute video.

Watch the video for "Don't Overdrink It" now at http://youtu.be/oXhf3s_t8xk
(Please drink responsibly!)

"Don't Overdrink It" features on Danny's upcoming debut solo album, 'The Long Road Home', which is due to be released on February 17th.  The album sees a slight musical departure from Danny's previous with ASKING ALEXANDRIA and WE ARE HARLOT, now forging a deeper and often darker path through the talented young musician's mind and displaying a truly stunning singing voice only hinted at in his previous work.

Pre-order 'The Long Road Home' now on limited edition signed CD and coloured vinyl, along with a range of merch bundles, at http://www.earache.com/danny

The album is also available to pre-order now on iTunes, including instant downloads of the tracks "Mexico" and "I Got Bones", at http://bit.ly/longroadhome-itunes

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT RELEASE 'LIVE BEAR' EP FEATURING "ZIGGY STARDUST" COVER

British rock 'n' rollers THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT have teamed up with streaming service Deezer for the release of an exclusive new live EP.

The 'Live Bear' EP was recorded at the band's London show during their January 2016 European tour, and features five tracks including a stunning rendition of David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust" in honour of the late icon.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT frontman Phil Campbell comments:

"January 2016 was an exciting time for The Temperance Movement.  We released our second album and embarked on a nationwide UK tour with The Sheepdogs, playing to 2000 people a night in some of the best venues in the country.  The tracks on this EP were recorded at The Forum in London on Wednesday, 27th January, the final date of the tour.  Although all the nights were recorded, this was by far the best.  We opened the show that night with David Bowie's 'Ziggy Stardust' in honour of the great man from Beckenham who passed the week before our tour started.  His death rocked the world and we felt it at our shows with calls from fans to play one of his songs, but we held back until London.  That version is included here and we're very proud to share it on the first anniversary of his passing.  Thank you to all who attended those shows.  It was an exhilarating experience which I'll never forget."

DANNY WORSNOP PREMIERES NEW SINGLE "ANYONE BUT ME"

Nashville-based artist Danny Worsnop has unveiled a brand new track “Anyone But Me” via TheBoot.com. Head to http://theboot.com/danny-worsnop-anyone-but-me to listen to the song, which is laced with perfectly weathered vocals draped overtop confessional, soul-baring lyrics. “Anyone But Me” is the lead single off of Danny’s debut solo effort, The Long Road Home (Earache Records) out February 17th.

Worsnop has taken to the country-rock world to open up about his troubled past, sharing a 12-song, whisky-drenched tale of sex, boozing, death and violence. From raucous bar-room anthems “Mexico” and “Don’t Overdrink It” to intimate ballads like “High” and “Prozac,” Worsnop maintains his rock roots and flawlessly displays his mastery of the guitar, while yielding an album peppered with twang-inspired riffs and infectious melodies.

Danny’s story is brimming with honest, raw emotion. At the age of just 26, his life has been filled with tumultuous peaks and snarls. Danny’s hard-drinking lifestyle has caused him to be homeless three times, go through rehab twice and be hospitalized numerous times. His lust for life resonates through the album’s frankly narrated lyrics, as his signature vocals reach new heights with foot-stomping melodies and nostalgic atmospheric ballads, inspired by the Music City’s signature sound.

The Long Road Home Track Listing:
1. Prozac
2. Mexico
3. I Feel Like Shit
4. Anyone But Me
5. High
6. I Got Bones
7. Quite A While
8. Don’t Overdrink It
9. I’ll Hold On
10. Midnight Woman
11. Same old Ending
12. The Man
