Earache Records is pleased to announce the signing of Washington D.C. trap artist ALIREZA to a worldwide recording deal.
A pioneering artist at the forefront of the dark trap genre, ALIREZA combines elements of trap and rap with rock and metal, with influences ranging from XXXTENTACION to BRING ME THE HORIZON. Following a recent performance at Afropunk Fest in Brooklyn, (curated in part by TYLER, THE CREATOR), ALIREZA has been in the studio with producer Jason Rich (LIL PEEP, LIL XAN) working on his debut album 'Endlyss', which is due for release in 2019 on Earache Records.
"I don't think they're ready for what I'm about to do to the world," comments ALIREZA. "Maybe the world isn't ready, honestly. I'm technically the first hip-hop signee on this huge metal label, but I find my way leaning in a lot of genres all at once so I'm excited to show it all."
After making the jump from his metalcore band LOUDER THAN QUIET to a solo hip-hop/trap artist, ALIREZA is now ready to take on the world with his debut single "Never Seen", which has premiered on Revolver here <https://www.revolvermag.com/music/hear-earache-alireza-new-song-never-seen> and is available now on all major streaming platforms.
"It's rare you see a guy in a band that can bar out," continues ALIREZA. "And even more rare to see a guy who can bar out but still be talking about something with substance. That's literally what I was aiming for with this first single. Setting the tone so you don't think I'm just some random trap metal artist, and giving you real hip-hop, unadulterated bars. The video alluded to gentrification [the renovating of deteriorated urban neighbourhoods, raising property values and often displacing low-income residents] in a very indirect way but that's exactly how it takes over so I don't think there's a way more fitting to show you what's going on."

HAGGARD CAT RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR "GOLDBERG"
WATCH HERE <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoxZPap2lLA>
From this year's 'Challenger' album, out now <http://webstore.earache.com/haggard-cat> on Earache Records
UK tour kicked off this week
"greasy slide guitar, filthy riffs and stupidly addictive grooves that make standing still a physical impossibility." - Metal Hammer
"this debut hits you with an ear-damaging line of fuzz, with riffs so dirty you'd be forgiven for thinking they'd just done a Tough Mudder course." - Kerrang! KKKK
"a high-calibre duo" - Total Guitar ****
"a captivating new force in British rock." - Upset Magazine ****
HAGGARD CAT have spent most of their year on the road or at festivals (or playing on top of shipping containers at festivals <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Xg0CBsz_A>). Now Halloween sees the band head off on another UK stint, playing 14 shows across the UK and Ireland as part of the Upset Magazine 'About to Break' tour with DRONES, BITCH FALCON and INTECHNICOLOUR.
The Nottingham duo's riff-heavy rock and roll was unleashed in the form of their album 'Challenger' earlier this year. "Goldberg" is one of its songs and the band have this week released a music video for the track <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoxZPap2lLA>. Vocalist and guitarist Matt Reynolds says, "With this clip we wanted to try and visually recreate the head-spinning sound of the track's weird mismatching time signatures and dreamy vocals. To get the final effect we ended up hand-building a room within a room and cramming in as many references to the band's life over the last couple of years as we could. I also think this feels like a good, natural way to tie together everything we've achieved so far with 'Challenger'. There are quite a few references to our other videos in there that are fun to try and spot too."
This is a timely release for HAGGARD CAT as they have just kicked off another tour and "Goldberg" is inherently about the toll touring can take. "'Goldberg' is a very personal song to us," says Reynolds. "The lyrics deal with how touring and expectation cause deterioration of mental health and how our perception of ourselves on the road can lead to toxic behaviour. Although this might sound quite reflective, it's actually a very positive song about being more self-aware and pulling through to the other side."
HAGGARD CAT (whose lineup is completed by drummer Tom Marsh) have a history of crafting creative, DIY music videos, as evidenced by other visual offerings from the 'Challenger' album - "Bone Shaker" <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVCzqcrjXh8>, "American Graffiti" <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJtDu2wtAIo> and "The Patriot" <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCzm0xPR8jg>. These killer tracks have enjoyed national airplay on BBC Radio 1's Rock Show and BBC Introducing, as well as playlisting at Kerrang! TV.

THOSE DAMN CROWS PREMIERE ACOUSTIC VERSION OF "BLINK OF AN EYE" ON PLANET ROCK
British modern hard rock band THOSE DAMN CROWS have released a live acoustic video of their fan-favourite track "Blink of an Eye", which appears on their upcoming debut album 'Murder and the Motive', out October 5th via Earache Records.
The stunning performance was filmed live at YouTube Space in London in July and is exclusively premiering on the Planet Rock website here <http://www.planetrock.com/news/rock-news/exclusive-those-damn-crows-premiere-acoustic-version-of-blink-of-an-eye>.
"From the early demo stages of 'Blink' we knew this song had the potential to become one of the biggest songs on the record," comments THOSE DAMN CROWS frontman Shane Greenhall. "It seemed to have all the ingredients of a potential hit - a story, a message, a great hook and a HUGE chorus that the crowds at our live shows love to sing back at us."
Speaking about the meaning behind the song, Shane adds: "'Blink' is about a time and place where we grew up as kids, and reflecting on how much has changed since our childhood... pubs, venues, shops, all boarded up; how we once were, how life was and just how precious life and loved ones are. It's only through loss do you truly appreciate life... 'You gotta hit the lows to feel the highs.'"
For more insights into the track, check out Episode 2 of 'Making the Murder', where Shane discusses its origins with guitarist Ian "Shiner" Thomas and drummer Ronnie Huxford. Watch it now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCKnKlSH2v4>.
'Murder and the Motive' is available to pre-order now on limited edition signed CD and vinyl, regular CD and vinyl, plus a selection of merch bundles from the Earache Webstore here <http://www.earache.com/crows>.

THOSE DAMN CROWS RELEASE LIVE VIDEO OF "BLINK OF AN EYE" FROM YOUTUBE SPACE LONDON
British modern hard rock band THOSE DAMN CROWS have released a live video of their fan-favourite track "Blink of an Eye", which appears on their upcoming debut album 'Murder and the Motive', out October 5th on Earache Records.
The stunning performance was filmed live at YouTube Space in London in July, and is available to watch now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnpBQvRKFT8>.
"From the early demo stages of 'Blink' we knew this song had the potential to become one of the biggest songs on the record," comments THOSE DAMN CROWS frontman Shane Greenhall. "It seemed to have all the ingredients of a potential hit - a story, a message, a great hook and a HUGE chorus that the crowds at our live shows love to sing back at us."
Speaking about the meaning behind the song, Shane adds: "'Blink' is about a time and place where we grew up as kids, and reflecting on how much has changed since our childhood... pubs, venues, shops, all boarded up; how we once were, how life was and just how precious life and loved ones are. It's only through loss do you truly appreciate life... 'You gotta hit the lows to feel the highs.'"
For more insights into the track, check out Episode 2 of 'Making the Murder', where Shane discusses its origins with guitarist Shiner and drummer Ronnie, here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCKnKlSH2v4>.
'Murder and the Motive' is available to pre-order now on limited edition signed CD and vinyl, regular CD and vinyl, plus a selection of merch bundles from the Earache Webstore here <http://www.earache.com/crows>. As a special treat for fans, each Webstore pre-order also includes 10 free CrowCoins - the new cryptocurrency created specifically for the most dedicated THOSE DAMN CROWS fans, which will give them the chance to get their hands on exclusive merch items.
The album is also available to pre-order now on iTunes, including instant downloads of "Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Dead!", "Someone Someday", "Blink of an Eye" and "Don't Give a Damn" here <http://bit.ly/matm-itunes>.

GREEN DRUID PUT "MY SHARONA" TO THE TEST IN EPISODE 2 OF 'WILL IT DOOM?'
Have you ever heard a riff and thought, "I wonder what that would sound like if it were slower and heavier?" Well, GREEN DRUID has.
Since the dawn of metal, those with a taste for the heavier side of music have often mused over what popular songs would sound like if they were more distorted, more crushing, more... DOOMY. So in June 2018, psychedelic stoner doom collective GREEN DRUID went into Module Overload Studios in Denver, Colorado to answer the age-old question once and for all - Will It Doom?
Episode 2 sees the band putting another '70s classic to the test, this time with THE KNACK's No. 1 hit "My Sharona". Watch the video now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDmwrO8VDpc>.
"We chose to give 'My Sharona' the doom treatment simply because of how ridiculous it sounded," comments GREEN DRUID guitarist Graham Zander. "It's such an upbeat, fun song in its original form. We found the doomed version hilarious."
The first episode of 'Will It Doom?' saw GREEN DRUID kick off the series with a sublime rendition of the LED ZEPPELIN classic "Immigrant Song". Catch up on the episode here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHLyRKODPNo>.
Back in March, GREEN DRUID unleashed their monolithic debut album 'Ashen Blood', which Metal Injection called "The perfect jam for any fan of psychedelic doom", and Heavy Blog Is Heavy described as "chock-full of dense tones, crashing riffs, and a stoner haze so thick the album should come with eyedrops". The album also led to GREEN DRUID winning the Best Metal Band award in Colorado's lifestyle, fashion, culture and entertainment publication 303 Magazine.
Get 'Ashen Blood' now on digipak CD and double vinyl here <http://www.earache.com/greendruid> or on iTunes here <http://bit.ly/ashenblood-itunes>. You can also hear the album in its glassy-eyed entirety at the GREEN DRUID Bandcamp page here <http://greendruid.bandcamp.com>.

GREEN DRUID ANSWER AGE-OLD QUESTION "WILL IT DOOM?" WITH CRUSHING LED ZEPPELIN COVER
Have you ever heard a riff and thought, "I wonder what that would sound like if it were slower and heavier?" Well, GREEN DRUID has.
Since the dawn of metal, those with a taste for the heavier side of music have often mused over what popular songs would sound like if they were more distorted, more crushing, more... doomy. So in June 2018, psychedelic stoner doom collective GREEN DRUID went into Module Overload Studios in Denver, Colorado to answer the age-old question once and for all - Will It Doom?
In the first episode in the series, the band put LED ZEPPELIN to the test, with their 1970 classic track "Immigrant Song". Watch the video now to find out if it will doom here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHLyRKODPNo>.
GREEN DRUID guitarist Graham Zander comments:
"The idea for Will It Doom - especially with the first episode - came from taking old records and playing them at slower speed. Once we heard what 'Immigrant Song' sounded like at that tempo we started trying it with other riffs to see which ones translated the best. Sometimes the results were pretty unexpected."
Back in March, GREEN DRUID unleashed their monolithic debut album 'Ashen Blood', which Metal Injection called "The perfect jam for any fan of psychedelic doom", and Heavy Blog Is Heavy described as "chock-full of dense tones, crashing riffs, and a stoner haze so thick the album should come with eyedrops".

MASSIVE WAGONS: NEW ALBUM 'FULL NELSON' LANDS AT #12 IN UK MIDWEEK CHART
'Full Nelson', the brand new album from English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS, has landed in the official UK midweek chart at number 12, marking a historic occasion for the Lancashire band.
Released last Friday, 10th August, 'Full Nelson' features 12 tracks of quintessentially British hard rock 'n' roll, and is on track to make MASSIVE WAGONS the first ever Lancashire band to chart in the UK Top 40.
Frontman Baz Mills comments:
"Not a chance in hell did I ever believe that some day our little rock band would come anywhere near charting an album! Let alone entering at number 12!!! Minds have been well and truly blown in camp Wagons; we write and perform but it's the biggest, most heartfelt thanks we send to the amazing people who have parted with their hard-earned cash to buy our music - you have made Massive Wagons an official part of rock history, that's never going away and we are extremely proud of all of our fans. Thank you so much. Lemmy was right all along... turns out rock isn't dead after all! This one's for all the naysayers. Much love, MW X"

MASSIVE WAGONS: NEW ALBUM 'FULL NELSON' OUT NOW WORLDWIDE
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS have today released their highly-anticipated new album 'Full Nelson' worldwide via Earache Records.
After nine years of scintillating live shows and three acclaimed studio albums, MASSIVE WAGONS are back with their Earache debut, featuring 12 tracks of quintessentially British hard rock 'n' roll and a live energy that is impossible not to get swept up in.
Pick up 'Full Nelson' now on limited edition signed CD and vinyl, along with a range of great merch bundles here <http://www.earache.com/fullnelson>. The album is also available now on iTunes for the special price of just £4.99 for this week only here <http://bit.ly/fullnelson-itunes>.
MASSIVE WAGONS frontman Baz Mills comments:
"Album number 4 - it doesn't seem that long ago that myself and Adam were talking about maybe, perhaps, if you're up for it, having a go at writing a song, just for a laugh of course, can't harm can it, see what happens... 9 years in, an EP, 4 studio albums, a live album, and various other recorded odds 'n' sods and here we are, releasing the fourth of those studio albums, 'Full Nelson'.
"Signing with Earache was the absolute making of this album. After 'Welcome to the World' we were kinda homeless really. We had started writing again but had no real plan for a release; self-release maybe, talk to another label? But just at the exact right moment Earache made contact and here we are, overflowing with confidence and pride for 'Full Nelson', and still amazed we've managed to write an album of tunes, let alone 4!
"This album we feel is the Wagons fully in their stride, both musically and lyrically. It's big, bold and memorable we think, but to be honest that's not really for us to decide haha. We've definitely poured more time and hard work into this album than any before, from the artwork, the songwriting and recording, to merch and PR, this is definitely our biggest effort yet, and the one we are most pleased with.
"We'd like to thank our wonderful team at Earache Records; they have worked tirelessly on our behalf to build this album up to be as big as it can be. That can also be said of Terri at RPM. Terri and Heidi represent this band from the heart. We would not be doing this without them at all. And thanks to all the rockers and rollers across the galaxy who have already ordered the album, and those set to buy it. We ultimately do this for your entertainment. We love to entertain, to give people a chance to let go and enjoy music, and we are truly honoured and humbled that you listen. We hope you enjoy our songs and thank you for your continued support. Rock on!"

SHIKARI SOUND SYSTEM REVEALED AS SECRET GUESTS FOR THE EARACHE FACTORY AT BOOMTOWN FAIR
Earache Records is pleased to reveal the previously mentioned secret guests for The Earache Factory stage at this year's Boomtown Fair as none other than SHIKARI SOUND SYSTEM.
The electronic alter-ego of British alternative giants ENTER SHIKARI (who will themselves be playing the Town Centre stage at Boomtown), SHIKARI SOUND SYTEM join The Earache Factory as part of a lineup which features some of the best in metal, punk, rock, stoner and psych, ranging from world-famous artists to the hottest new heavy bands on the scene.
ENTER SHIKARI/SHIKARI SOUND SYSTEM frontman Rou Reynolds comments:
"I was already looking forward to this weekend and our first Boomtown experience, but knowing we've got some Shikari Sound System late-night revelry on the cards too has just cranked it up a notch. The Earache guys have put together a bill on their stage that runs the gamut of heavy music excellence, so we're psyched to be following them with some glittery disco anthems to really show the metal kids what's up! But, seriously, we look forward to heading over after our full-band set and be busting out the best in drum & bass and some unreleased Shikari remixes that we're holding especially for the night."
The Earache Factory is a completely new venue at Boomtown, curated by the legendary independent label Earache Records and located in the heart of Diss-order Alley. Earache has issued over 600 releases since its inception in 1987 and built its reputation on extreme music and a punk attitude. Last summer, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the label, Earache was invited to curate the first ever "heavy" music stage at Glastonbury Festival called "The Earache Express", which resulted in primetime TV on BBC1 and Ed Miliband impersonating NAPALM DEATH on BBC Radio 4.
The full stage times for Thursday, 9th August at The Earache Factory have been revealed as follows:
14:30 - 15:00 VODUN
15:30 - 16:00 PENGSHUI
16:30 - 17:15 HEAVY LUNGS
18:00 - 18:45 CHURCH OF THE COSMIC SKULL
19:30 - 20:15 FEED THE RHINO
21:00 - 22:00 IDLES
Boomtown's multidimensional world not only provides some of the best in underground and global music but incorporates it with some of the most unexpected and immersive theatre. As part of Boomtown's ever-evolving storyline, Diss-order Alley is themed around a military base which has been abandoned and overtaken by an autonomous community of punks. Attendees are encouraged to embrace their inner characters and immerse themselves in the intricately designed venues populated by walkabout performers weaving their way through the city's streets.
Boomtown Fair Chapter 10 takes place at Matterley Estate just outside Winchester from August 9th to August 12th. Get tickets to the festival here <http://www.boomtownfair.co.uk>.

MASSIVE WAGONS RELEASE NEW SONG "HATE ME" AHEAD OF 'FULL NELSON' LAUNCH NEXT WEEK
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS are treating fans to one more taste of new music before the release of their eagerly anticipated new album 'Full Nelson' next week, with the release of the brand new song "Hate Me".
Depicted as a sort of "love song turned on its head", the track continues MASSIVE WAGONS' trend of writing huge-sounding hits with big hooks and catchy, singalong choruses, like fan favourites "Ratio" and "Tokyo", along with 'Full Nelson' album opener "Under No Illusion".
Listen to "Hate Me" now here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfdtLFtSN9Y>.
MASSIVE WAGONS frontman Baz Mills discusses the moment the band knew they'd struck gold:
"When you're constantly writing songs, constantly throwing ideas and arrangements around, reworking lyrics, umm-ing and ahh-ing about a song, is it right, will the finished product be worth the effort put into a song... When you take a new song to a practice for the first ever time for myself and Adam to play the lads - at this stage Adam's never heard the words and the lads have never heard the lyrics or music - and the room immediately lights up and Alex just busts into the jam with us because he can't contain it, and by the end everyone's playing and big smiles all round, you know you've hit gold. That's honestly only ever happened twice: 'Ratio' and 'Hate Me'. Immediately it's all anyone wants to work on, that track; it invigorates writing and puts you on a high again. We feel it's got such a great radio vibe about it, we'd love to see it do well."
Regarding the meaning behind the lyrics, Baz comments:
"The song itself is essentially a take on a love song, from the viewpoint of the person doing the dumping. I've always loved Alice Cooper's take on song themes. He can take a typical rock 'n' roll-esque track and his lyrics take you to the darkest places sometimes without realising. I really dig that ability. I think 'Hate Me' has an Alice vibe maybe; that '50s style drum beat booming away, the dark lyrics... Yeah, I do love a great lyricist and he's a master. 'Hate Me' is a big fave of ours and has now become a staple part of the live show."
'Full Nelson' is due to be released next Friday, 10th August, and is available to pre-order on limited edition signed CD and vinyl here <http://www.earache.com/fullnelson>. The album is also available to pre-order on iTunes for the special price of just £4.99, including instant downloads of five tracks, here <http://bit.ly/fullnelson-itunes>.

ROCK BAND MASSIVE WAGONS AIM TO MAKE LANCASTER MUSIC HISTORY
There is something special brewing up in the North West of England right now in the city of Lancaster. Local band MASSIVE WAGONS have been relentlessly working the live circuit whilst also trying to juggle family life & full time jobs but their luck may just be about to change. Signing a record deal, national radio love, major UK festival slots and the chance to open for their heroes Status Quo at Mint Bridge Stadium have seen MASSIVE WAGONS’ meteoric rise from a likeable local band to one of the hottest new Rock bands in the UK that many in the know are tipping for mainstream success.
Tonight they are celebrating with a huge MASSIVE WAGONS ‘Full Nelson’ mural being painted onto the side of Rock venue ‘The Pub” in the centre of Lancaster. The venue, located on China Street, is the spiritual home of MASSIVE WAGONS as it was where they played their first ever gig live show.
Surprisingly, no band formed in Lancaster has ever achieved a Top 40 in the Official UK Album Chart before despite the city being a hotbed of live music for several decades. John Waite achieved a #1 Billboard single in the USA with “When I See You Smile” but the album charts have remained mostly unbothered. That is about to change. MASSIVE WAGONS have a very real chance of making history next month with new album ‘Full Nelson’ and you can help make it happen.
Frontman Baz Mills (who works a full time job driving lorries) said:
”The Pub Lancaster, when the band was in its infancy, was THE place we went, all the time, live music rock bar, we stood and watched hundreds of bands Friday and Saturday nights in there, great times, we always said our goal was to get a gig in The Pub, if we can manage that then we can die happy haha, the buzz when it happened was just incredible, and now we must have played there countless times, to this day some of our best most memorable gigs were in there, so to have the new album art emblazoned on the side of the building 20 feet tall is an honour, the plan is to hopefully hit the official charts with 'Full Nelson' no other Lancaster band has charted an album and we wanna do it, with the people of Lancaster behind us, put the place on the map, it's a stunning city and its rich in musical talent and heritage, it's been good to us so we wanna represent the place, tonight's album launch and the painting unveiling is just the start, what better place to kick the campaign off than the place that kicked us off to start with.”
Massive Wagons band manager Terri Chapman said: “Massive Wagons really do love their beautiful city of Lancaster and to have this mural painted in the city centre truly has been one of their biggest highlights as musicians. To have the people of Lancaster supporting and backing the band all the way would just be incredible, together we can not only put Lancaster back on the rock n roll map but encourage the youngsters that anything is possible. Massive Wagons are one of the hardest working bands I know and to see them hit the Top 40 UK charts and be the first band from Lancaster to do so would be a historical event that we can all be proud of.”
Tom Hadfield, from the band’s record label Earache Records, said: “We set up the mural because we want the people of Lancaster to be proud of Massive Wagons. They are proving that you don’t have to be from London to get national press attention and that if you work hard, rock harder and don’t give up you can be a successful band. Wagons are carving out a new path for Lancaster bands to follow in their footsteps and hopefully this will inspire a new generation of kids in the city to form a band and go for it like Massive Wagons have. “If they can achieve the target of a first ever Top 40 album for the city then this will give the local music scene a lot of attention and as they say ‘a rising tide raises all ships’.”

BOOMTOWN ANNOUNCES FULL LINEUP FOR THE EARACHE FACTORY
The wait is finally over! Today, Boomtown Fair and Earache Records have revealed the full lineup for the brand-new-for-2018 venue, "The Earache Factory", and it doesn't disappoint.
New names added to the already mouth-watering bill include EMPLOYED TO SERVE, VENOM PRISON, JAMIE LENMAN, MILK TEETH, HEAVY LUNGS and PENGSHUI, joining the likes of the already-announced bands such as IDLES, DEAD KENNEDYS, SOULFLY, EARTH CRISIS, some "secret special guests" and many more.
Boomtown's Head of Music, Kaptin Barrett comments: "The lineup is so strong, I wish I could spend the whole time there. I will definitely be there for Dead Kennedys, Idles, Hacktivist, Soulfly and Pengshui, but probably more!"
The Earache Factory is a completely new venue at Boomtown and is curated by the legendary independent label Earache Records. Earache has issued over 600 releases since its inception in 1987 and built its reputation on extreme music and a punk attitude. Last summer, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the label, Earache was invited to curate the first ever "heavy" music stage at Glastonbury Festival called 'The Earache Express', which resulted in primetime TV on BBC1 and Ed Miliband impersonating NAPALM DEATH on BBC Radio 4.
Located in the heart of Diss-order Alley, the lineup will feature some of the best in metal, punk, rock, stoner and psych, ranging from world famous artists to the hottest new heavy bands on the scene.
"We are on a mission to bring heavy music to the masses and big credit goes to everyone at Boomtown for welcoming us with open arms. All the band we have booked are heavy in one way or another, but a common theme is that they are all bands with a purpose, bands that mean something and bands that are fighting for positive change. We want to highlight everything that is fucked up in this world and we want to do it through booking defiant and politically engaged bands - and having a lot of fun whilst we do it. Bring your earplugs."
<http://earacherecords.com/myspace/earachefactory_boomtown2018.jpg>
Lak Mitchell, Boomtown founder comments: "We're seriously excited about expanding on the heavy live music side of the festival... The first event I ever put on was a heavy metal gig when I was 16 and have been in various thrash/punk/metal bands ever since, so to represent such an amazing musical culture within the context of Boomtown is insanely exciting and I can't wait to see where this takes us."
Boomtown's multidimensional world not only provides some of the best in underground and global music but incorporates it with some of the most unexpected and immersive theatre. As part of Boomtown's ever-evolving storyline, Diss-order Alley is themed around a military base which has been abandoned and overtaken by an autonomous community of punks. Attendees are encouraged to embrace their inner characters and immerse themselves in the intricately designed venues populated by walkabout performers weaving their way through the city's streets.
Earache Records' Head of Live Music, Tom Hadfield comments: "The sun is out and festival season is upon us! Absolutely buzzing for Boomtown and hope everyone enjoys the lineup that we have pulled together. Even if you aren't into heavy music, you are welcome at the Earache Factory, so come down and be curious... you never know, it could be your new favourite corner of Boomtown."
Boomtown Fair Chapter 10 will take place at Matterley Estate just outside Winchester from August 9th to August 12th, 2018.

THOSE DAMN CROWS RELEASE "BLINK OF AN EYE" FROM DEBUT ALBUM 'MURDER AND THE MOTIVE'
British modern hard rock band THOSE DAMN CROWS have released their new single "Blink of an Eye", taken from from their upcoming debut album 'Murder and the Motive', which is due to be released worldwide on October 5th.
"From the early demo stages of 'Blink' we knew this song had the potential to become one of the biggest songs on the record," comments THOSE DAMN CROWS frontman Shane Greenhall. "It seemed to have all the ingredients of a potential hit - a story, a message, a great hook and a HUGE chorus that the crowds at our live shows love to sing back at us."
Speaking about the meaning behind the song, Shane adds: "'Blink' is about a time and place where we grew up as kids, and reflecting on how much has changed since our childhood... pubs, venues, shops, all boarded up; how we once were, how life was and just how precious life and loved ones are. It's only through loss do you truly appreciate life... 'You gotta hit the lows to feel the highs.'"
Listen to "Blink of an Eye" now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA8Tta2hfJw>.
Hailing from Bridgend, South Wales, THOSE DAMN CROWS have already built up a solid following from performances at the likes of Camden Rocks, Steelhouse Festival, Hard Rock Hell and Ramblin' Man Fair.

"From the early demo stages of 'Blink' we knew this song had the potential to become one of the biggest songs on the record," comments THOSE DAMN CROWS frontman Shane Greenhall. "It seemed to have all the ingredients of a potential hit - a story, a message, a great hook and a HUGE chorus that the crowds at our live shows love to sing back at us."
Speaking about the meaning behind the song, Shane adds: "'Blink' is about a time and place where we grew up as kids, and reflecting on how much has changed since our childhood... pubs, venues, shops, all boarded up; how we once were, how life was and just how precious life and loved ones are. It's only through loss do you truly appreciate life... 'You gotta hit the lows to feel the highs.'"

MASSIVE WAGONS RELEASE OFFICIAL "UNDER NO ILLUSION" MUSIC VIDEO
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS have released an official music video for their song "Under No Illusion" ahead of their sold out show with labelmates BLACKBERRY SMOKE at the Holmfirth Picturedrome on Saturday.
The track was the first to be revealed from the band's eagerly-anticipated new album, 'Full Nelson', which releases worldwide on August 10th. The video was filmed with TVPAV.com <http://www.tvpav.com> in and around the band's spiritual home of Lancaster and is available to watch now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IzGWKjGf_k>.
"Under No Illusion is a song which as soon as we'd jammed it together, we kinda knew this was gonna be a single," comments MASSIVE WAGONS frontman Baz Mills. "It had that immediate feel. Some songs take the recording process before they are considered for a single release, but Illusion was instant. It's a song which I suppose from a personal point of view is letting other bands know - bands on the rise - to watch out for the clowns in the industry; selfish people out purely for their own gain. Nothing wrong with furthering yourself at all, just not at the expense of others. We've met loads of 'em, dealt with a few; so hard to spot often till it's too late. A band absolutely needs a trustworthy team around it.
"The song also just says don't be scared to make decisions for the good of yourself and the band. Do your thing. I think when a band are doing what they feel best at - writing songs and performing without being contrived or staged, and just being themselves - it is a much more enjoyable process and it comes across in a much better way. Sometimes easier said than done, I know. There is a message in the song explaining exactly what I think of people praying on bands. I always loved the idea of stuff in song lyrics that is hidden or cryptic - gives it a new angle. I really enjoyed writing this one; thanks everyone for listening to it."
'Full Nelson' features 12 roaring tracks, including a brand new version of "Back to the Stack" - the band's tribute to legendary STATUS QUO rocker Rick Parfitt - as well as the recently-released single "Robot (Trust in Me)" <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3ZS-VMl-lU>, for which the band worked with famed BLACK SABBATH and JUDAS PRIEST producer/engineer Mike Exeter.
Pre-order 'Full Nelson' now on limited edition signed CD and vinyl here <http://www.earache.com/fullnelson>. The album is also available to pre-order on iTunes, including instant downloads of all four tracks released so far, here <http://bit.ly/fullnelson-itunes>.

MASSIVE WAGONS RELEASE MIKE EXETER-PRODUCED SINGLE "ROBOT (TRUST IN ME)"
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS have released a brand new track from their upcoming album 'Full Nelson', which releases on August 10th worldwide.
Following on from a triumphant debut performance at the UK's Download Festival two weeks ago, the band have now returned with another treat for their fans - the grooving, heavy hitter of a track, "Robot (Trust in Me)", for which the band worked with famed BLACK SABBATH and JUDAS PRIEST producer/engineer Mike Exeter.
Listen to "Robot (Trust in Me)" now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3ZS-VMl-lU>.
MASSIVE WAGONS frontman Baz Mills comments: "Robot (Trust in Me) is us having a dig at angry online conspiracy theorists. For me, you can believe what you want - flat earth, dragons, lizard people, whatever; I'm totally cool with that - but I have experienced on numerous occasions the seething inner rage of the online theorist when people simply don't agree or buy into it, which is also very cool with me haha, and it doesn't sit well with said jobless, high-as-a-kite, angry angry man. 'You're all sheep!!! Are you fckin blind?! Can't you see the numbers?!? If you take the number of letters in the numbers six six six and multiply them by how many brain cells I've destroyed constantly smoking super strength weed staring at my computer, then minus Jesus' age, subtract my Jobseeker's Allowance and then divide by 9-11, multiply again by the combined age of Barack Obama's children and mother-in-law, you will come to the exact day and time the world might end!!! CAN'T YOU FCKIN SEE IT YOU SHEEP!!! YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!'... Yeah those people. I deleted from Facebook, surprise surprise, a very angry man with some horrible views, which is why I wrote a song about him. The track is not really like anything else on the album, it's got a heavy groove, a little psychedelic perhaps. We really, really like it."
On working with Mike Exeter, Baz adds: "We were immensely privileged to work with Mr. Mike Exeter on this track. He brought his infinite production wisdom to it. If SABBATH, Iommi and Mr. Dio think he's the man, then who are we to disagree? Really cool guy, great to work with and he transformed the track into what you hear. We loved recording it; hope you dig it."

MASSIVE WAGONS CONDEMN INTOLERANCE AND RACISM IN NEW TRACK "BILLY BALLOON HEAD"
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS have dropped another surprise new track today from their upcoming album 'Full Nelson', once again providing a damning social commentary wrapped in a catchy banger of a tune.
Following on from their previous single "China Plates", which takes a candid look at the rise of social media and people's compulsion to share every aspect of their lives online, the band's new song "Billy Balloon Head" this time takes aim at the growing culture of intolerance, ignorance and racism which is sadly prevalent in modern society.
"I really have no idea if the term 'balloon head' is one used anywhere else in the world but where I'm from," comments frontman Baz Mills. "Maybe it is, I don't know - but if you're a balloon head then as far as I'm concerned you're the sort of person with nothing much in the way of being nice, being tolerant, being open-minded, or having much going on upstairs full stop. The song's a stab at racists, ignorant people - c***s, basically. I can't stand c***s. I've no time for it; be nice or fuck off. That, in a roundabout way, is what Billy Balloon Head is all about. If you're gonna be a twat, fuck off and be a twat somewhere else, on your own. Bottom of the sea preferably."
Check out the new song "Billy Balloon Head" now here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMhk1KAOh6o>.
Listen to the previously-released tracks "China Plates" here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFVtAfYClk0> and "Under No Illusion" here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o7J3qmy1Uw>.
'Full Nelson' is due to be released worldwide on August 10th and features 12 roaring tracks, including a new version of "Back to the Stack" - the band's tribute to legendary STATUS QUO rocker Rick Parfitt - as well as the future single "Robot (Trust in Me)", for which the band worked with famed BLACK SABBATH and JUDAS PRIEST engineer Mike Exeter.
Pre-order 'Full Nelson' now on limited edition signed CD and vinyl here <http://www.earache.com/fullnelson>. The album is also available to pre-order on iTunes, including instant downloads of all three tracks released so far, here <http://bit.ly/fullnelson-itunes>.

"Haggard Cat create a cacophony of thrilling noise, and this debut hits you with an ear-damaging line of fuzz, with riffs so dirty you'd be forgiven for thinking they'd just done a Tough Mudder course." - Kerrang! KKKK
"a high-calibre duo" - Total Guitar ****
"a captivating new force in British rock." - Upset Magazine ****
"greasy slide guitar, filthy riffs and stupidly addictive grooves that make standing still a physical impossibility." - Metal Hammer
Fiery garage rock duo HAGGARD CAT have announced a UK tour supporting fellow Nottingham band PALM READER this July.
"Well July is looking a bit void of Haggard Cat ain't it?" comments vocalist and guitarist Matt Reynolds. "Let's fix that! The official greatest band on Earth PALM READER are letting the cat out along with our new friends in COVE all through July!!! (Except for Southampton, you lot will have to come see us in June with PATRONS instead.) Not bad that is it?"
HAGGARD CAT recently wrapped up a UK headlining tour in support of their new album, 'Challenger', and also announced a string of June dates with support from PATRONS. The band will join PALM READER as well as COVE starting in Leeds on July 22nd. View the tour flyer here <http://earacherecords.com/myspace/haggardcat_palmreadertour.jpg>.

MASSIVE WAGONS RELEASE CHEEKY LYRIC VIDEO FOR "CHINA PLATES" POKING FUN AT SOCIAL MEDIA
English anthemic rockers MASSIVE WAGONS have dropped a surprise new track today from their eagerly-anticipated new album, 'Full Nelson'.
The band's roaring new single, "China Plates" (slang for "mates"), takes a candid look at the rise of social media and people's compulsion to share every aspect of their lives online. The hilarious lyric video highlights the stranglehold the likes of Facebook has on the population, with guest appearances from the likes of Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Barrack Obama, Ricky Gervais, Michael Jackson, Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, and a whole host of other celebrities and characters from popular culture.
Watch the lyric video for "China Plates" now here <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFVtAfYClk0>.
MASSIVE WAGONS frontman Baz Mills comments: "We have just released the second single from the upcoming new album 'Full Nelson' called 'China Plates'. It's not a dig at Facebook itself, but a serious poke at some of the behaviour that goes on within Facebook. Tongue in cheek stuff, but I guarantee these things get right up your nose. Got a cheeky lyric video to go with it; can't wait for some reaction."
