Remainders Announce Debut EP "Fine Exits" Out November 11th * Split EP w/ Barons Out October 28th

Stream "Slow Quitter" from Remainders here!

Pittsburgh, PA band Remainders use their melodic punk to conjure up the genre's sometimes lost perception of fun. Forming the band in 2014, guitarist Dan Delucia, guitarist/vocals Karim Akacem, vocals/bassist Chris Feigh and drummer Tim Little cultivate a driving and hook-packed sound.

Combining that sound with songs whose lyrics deal in the frustrations, disappointments, and mysteries of everyday life and you have a combo of fiery and impassioned punk reminiscent of elements of comparable bands like Latterman, Iron Chic and The Menzingers,as well as genre legends Bouncing Souls, Farside and Face To Face.

Remainders make their EP debut in Fall 2014 with Fine Exits along with a split 7” release with Underground Communiqué’s Barons,also from Pittsburgh, available October 28th. Get to the shows!



"Fine Exits" Track List:
1. You'll Make Some Fine Exits
2. Never Weathered
3. To Think I'd Fail At Failing
4. Slow Quitter

Remainders Live!
10/24 @ Howlers, Pittsburgh PA w/ Barons, Teddy Duchamp's Army, and World's Scariest Police Chases. (Split Release Show)

70s punk legends The Pagans premiere track from first new album in 20+ years

Cleveland 70s punk legends Mike Hudson & The Pagans share the first track from the band's first new album in 24 years today via Consequence of Sound. The album's title track, "Hollywood High" is available to stream/share HERE. (Direct Soundcloud HERE.) Hollywood High is a very personal account of Hudson's former muse that's as direct and unapologetic as one would expect from the man who penned the punk classic "What's This Sh*t Called Love?" "The front cover is a photo of Evita Corby taken by the legendary Irish crooner and bass player Phil Lynott in the dining room of legendary LA club owner Elmer Valentine's house, which burned down shortly afterward," Hudson explains. "The songs on this record are about Mrs. Corby, who I fell madly in love with when the famous LA / Detroit band The Dogs did a cover version of 'Her Name Was Jane,' a song I wrote almost 40 years ago. They flew me out here, she was the chick in the video, our first date was a week in Vegas. Evita is probably best known as the cover girl on Iggy and the Stooges Kill City LP and as the wife of Michael Corby, who fronted the well known 80's band The Babys. I wrote the novel Fame Wh*re about her and wrote this record about her as well. She was my everything." Mike Hudson is a survivor. Hudson didn't earn the designation on a reality show, or by crying on Oprah's couch. He was born to it - born to chart the folly of man in words and song, like a bard, hell, like The Bard. That is, if ol' Billy Shakespeare had been raised in Cleveland, Ohio, destined to chronicle the bad decisions and scrapped-metal dreams of a post-Boom generation. If this all sounds highfalutin to you, perhaps you are unacquainted with Mr. Hudson's oeuvre. Hudson's forty year journey through the peaks and valleys of a life fully lived begins in the mid-1970s with The Pagans. A band as crucial to the development -- and perfection -- of American punk as Black Flag, The Misfits or The Germs, The Pagans were a tumultuous group, always on the edge of breaking up or the verge of breaking down. Fueled by lust, chemicals, and the lust for chemicals, The Pagans burned through the late '70s and early '80s with an intoxicating sense of desperation. Their patchwork discography is a protracted howl of discontent, of frustration, of strangled romance set against Cleveland's jagged skyline, a single flame burning bright in the night. But we are not here to provide you with a history lesson. For that, we refer you to Hudson's soul-scorching memoir Diary of a Punk. After all, we are here to praise Hudson, not bury him. Hudson's obituary remains unwritten, and his poison pen has retained its deadly prick. After years of sporadic live shows, and genre-redefining collections, The Pagans return with new music that lives and breathes in the present. Except this time, the air filling Hudson's lungs is the salt-tinged, sun-kissed breeze coming off the Pacific, a stark contrast to the smoke-choked Mistake by the Lake. After a long stint as a crime reporter in Niagara Falls, New York (see his book Niagara Falls Confidential), Hudson headed West, to the balmier climes of Southern California. Inspired by his new surroundings, Hudson assembled a new incarnation of his legendary band and presents us with a full-length album. The inaugural release of Los Angeles' Ruin Discos, Hollywood High is a return to form for Hudson. It finds Hudson in fine voice and backed by a stellar cast of musicians, including Phil Lynott's songwriting partner Jimmy Bain (who also played in Dio and Rainbow) on bass, Keith Christopher (Georgia Satellites) on slide guitar, Crazy Marvin Braxton (B.B. King, Ray Charles) on harmonica, Tony Matteucci (The Dogs, Etta James) on drums, and Loren Molinare -- who produced & co-wrote most of the songs with Hudson -- on lead guitar. The man's throat drips with passion and venom in equal measure. Based upon this new album, Hudson has added romance to his repertoire. Whereas before, any romance to be had in a Hudson song was doomed from the get-go. On Hollywood High's opening track "I Need a Date," Mike sounds as close to giddy as we've heard him. The title track follows, hinting at that well-earned doom, but a palpable sense of hope radiates. "Death Letter" is the blues, a juke-joint murder ballad, but one where the killer is full of remorse, and longs to jump in the grave he has just finished digging. "Fame Wh*re" is the album's centerpiece, a poetic rumination on life, love and madness that recalls the underrated A Monster and The Devil, a masterful 1987 collaboration with The Styrenes. The vibe here is less jazz and more rock n' roll. It's sad and it's beautiful, and Hudson excels in both of these modes. "Just Got Up" brings the old-school snot, showcasing Hudson's voice in all of its ragged glory. The man's still got it. Do you?Hollywood High closes with a spirited run-through of latter-day Pagans classic "(Us and) All of Our Friends are So Messed Up." We are fortunate to have people like Mike Hudson -- hardscrabble folk who have made it through the darkness, and come back to tell us what they have learned. It's time to listen. Hollywood High will be available on LP and download via Ruin Discos on November 4th, 2014.

REVOCATION Debut New Song on Invisible Oranges

"Deathless may be their fiercest offering yet." -Metal Sucks "100%, back-to-front, Revocation-patented thrash-driven death metal at its best." -No Clean Singing

REVOCATION have spent the last eight years converting fans to their cause with four full length albums, an EP with Scion AV, and a charismatic live show led by guitarist/vocalist Dave Davidson. The Boston-based band also features the staggeringly talented lineup of: Dan Gargiulo on guitar, Brett Bamberger on bass, and Phil Dubois on drums. REVOCATION has firmly been established as one of the genre's finest and will continue their campaign as part of the Metal Blade Records roster. Their fifth album, "Deathless," is a fitting debut for the label, and a definitive statement of intent from the band.  The artwork for "Deathless" was hand painted by internationally recognized tattoo artist Tom Strom.  An in-depth feature on the process of creating the artwork can be seen on Metal Sucks HERE. After months of waiting "Deathless" will finally see the light of day next Tuesday October 14th via Metal Blade Records.  The album is available in CD, 2LP and digital formats.  Get a first listen to the title track HERE and be sure to pre-order the album.  As a final preview before the album's release, REVOCATION has teamed up with Invisible Oranges for an exclusive premiere of the third song released from "Deathless".  The song "Labyrinth of Eyes" can be heard HERE. " 'Labyrinth of Eyes' is collectively one of our favorite songs off the new album. It's a very diverse song full of angular riffs, epic melodies and a crushing outro," says front man Dave Davidson. During the recording process, the band shot a series of videos documenting their work on "Deathless". The first video in the series can be viewed HERE, the second can be seen HEREand the third can be seenHERE.  The second song from "Deathless" entitled "Madness Opus" can be streamedHERE. "Deathless" was recorded with acclaimed producer Zeuss at Planet Z studios in Massachusetts. The album is ten tracks of ambitious, catchy, and undeniably heavy material. Musically, cuts like "Madness Opus" showcase a more deliberate REVOCATION - restrained, if even moderately so, to deliver a slow, near-dirge like track. Alternatively, the title track highlights the diversity of Davidson's vocals with a catchy chorus. It's an earworm the likes of which the band had only previously hinted. The rest of the album offers a refreshing variety of music and truly feels like an "album", rather than a collection of similar tracks. This is a refinement, achieved only through years of focusing on their craft. Revocation are touring in support of "Deathless" now with Crowbar in North America the tour stops tonight in Dallas, TX and is set to run through October 10th in Houston, TX.  This tour will be followed by a full European tour with new label mates Cannibal Corpse and Aeon.  Following the European dates REVOCATION will head to China for a run of dates, followed by a trip down under to Australia for a string of shows.
