Wish You Well is the powerful new album from US rock band Lansdowne, a journey through renewal, resilience, and transformation. Built around the pillars of physical, mental, and spiritual health, the record channels real emotion into anthems about breaking down and rebuilding stronger than ever.

Featuring the explosive singles "Burn It Down", "Make It a Lie", and "Release Me", Wish You Well captures Lansdowne at their most inspired, merging raw energy with purpose-driven storytelling. Available now on CD Digisleeve with a 16-page booklet, and as a limited edition transparent blue vinyl, strictly limited to 500 copies for collectors and fans alike.

Seit 2007 bricht das schwedische Power-Disco-Quartett Royal Republic mit allen Rock'n'Roll-Normen, verweigert sich Klischees und schafft mit seinem fünften Studioalbum "LoveCop" eine rebellisch brillante Mischung. Gegründet mit Hits wie "Tommy Gun", entwickelte sich Royal Republic durch Alben wie "Save The Nation" und "Club Majesty" weiter. Mit Hits wie "My House" und "LoveCop" zeigt das Album, das in den Hansa Studios in Berlin von Michael Ilbert und Adam Grahn aufgenommen wurde, durch charakteristisch freche Riffs und Wortspiele, eine Fortsetzung ihres unwiderstehlichen Sounds. Vollgepackt mit intelligenten Drum-Beats und groovigen Bass-Lines ist es eine schweißtreibende Fusion aus Metallica und Michael Bolton. Macht Euch bereit für eine musikalische Achterbahnfahrt, wenn "LoveCop" die Herzen zum Schmelzen bringt und gleichzeitig die Lautsprecher in Brand setzt. Es ist die Befreiung von allen Fesseln mit dem Recht einfach mal wieder laut zu sein! Nehmt die Hände hoch und tanzt zu den unaufhaltsamen Beats von Royal Republic.

"Revisit the impactful debut album Moving Backwards by Finnish progressive metal band, Wheel, now available in a special reissue. This edition is pressed on transparent natural vinyl, offering a fresh take on the original release.

Including the hit singles Vultures, Wheel and Where The Pieces Lie, Moving Backwards guides listeners through complex melodies, powerful riffs, and thoughtful lyrics. Each track highlights Wheel's skill in blending technical ability with deep emotion, marking a strong entry in the progressive metal scene.

Praised by fans and critics for its creativity and execution, Moving Backwards has made a notable mark in metal."

Mehr Experimente beim Sound, eine luftigere Songstruktur, kompromisslos melancholische Texte und bloß nichts wiederholen: Mit „Seid Ihr Stolz Auf Mich?“ moderieren Smile And Burn einen Stilwechsel und knallharten Umbruch an. Der Sound transportiert und ergänzt die nachdenkliche, düstere Stimmung der Texte. Generationenkonflikt, transgenerationale Weitergabe und Traumata – Es ist das traurigste und ehrlichste Werk, das die Band in ihrer 16-jährigen Geschichte geschrieben hat.

"From the garage, through the city‘s air, straight into those hearts drumming with want for drink and noise. Monomers clink fuzzy garage drive, the sexiness of well-oiled blues tunes and the longing of contemporary indie easily together and it only takes the spark of a real crooner to send the rocket into the veld. Which is exactly the plan and it works. Monomers rush through the fjords of noise while sucking in lots of flowers on their wild ride towards enthralling hooks. Stagnation is death which is why Monomers refuse to use any breaks. The sun is setting, so catch the train and enjoy the ride."

"Elusive by Monomers" includes the following tracks: "Strangers", "Fill In The Blanks", "Empty The Past", "Pity" and more.

The band who has become Sweden's most addictive rock'n'roll export is now rereleasing its fourth album Club Majesty in a special neon pink vinyl edition, on the occasion of its four year anniversary.

Plenty of people have tried to label the band. Garage rock, pop rock, kung-fu rock and even Chuck Norris rock are all tags that have been devised for Royal Republic's punchy, propulsive brand of rock'n'roll.

With their fourth album Club Majesty, 'disco rock' has been added to the mix. "I love the word 'disco'," singer Adam Grahn says. "But some people will say 'but you're a rock band!' We're a band. I never knew what to call us."

If you like Royal Republic, you'll love Club Majesty. And for the uninitiated - rock fan, pop lover, metal-head or otherwise - you've arrived at an excellent time. All are welcome here, so step inside...

Mick Flannery is one of Ireland's most acclaimed songwriters and singers
The award- winning, double- platinum selling artist has released seven studio
albums, three of which have reached No. 1 status.
On September 15th he will release his eighth studio album 'Goodtime Charlie'.
Featuring collaborations with Valerie June, Anais Mitchell and Tianna Esperanza.
Mick has partnered with US Label Oh Boy Records, which for them will be their
first non-American signing.
"Mick Flannery has a voice for the ages, a complete Master of his craft" cited by
Clash Magazine, whilst The Sunday Times said he "conjures up exquisite storytelling." His last album in 2021 consisted of a collection of duets with up and
coming Irish artist Susan O'Neill. American Songwriter called 'In The Game' a
"Sorrowful Masterpiece." The record was nominated for the Choice Music Prize,
and won the RTE Radio 1 song of the year two years in a row for tracks 'Baby Talk'
and 'Chain Reaction.' The album was the biggest selling independent record in
Ireland in 2021.
Mick Flannery's songs are fluent in expressing layered aspects of the human
condition, its flaws, triumphs, and general uncertainty. Originally a stone mason
by trade, he once described his stage presence as that of a 'Mountain goat'
however over the years that shy awkwardness of said mountain goat has started
to dissipate. His live shows are renowned for his self- deprecating humor,
audience engagement and the ability to bring people on a journey of both
heartbreak and joy, often in the same instance

"Hits & Pieces" showcases the band's most recent single releases, including "RATA-TATA", "Superlove", and "Diggin' It". Meanwhile, "Live at l'Olympia" captures some moments of the band's sold- out show in Paris, complete with a thrilling cover of Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way" featuring supporting act KO KO MO. With its stunning visual design and great energy, this vinyl is a must-have for any Royal Republic fan. So don't hesitate - add it to your collection today and experience the best of this incredible band!

On their sixth studio album "Wanderer", THE INTERSPHERE show with
enormous variety how far the search for innovative sounds can take a
band in the classic rock line-up
The figurehead for modern rock music pursues the approach to electronic
elements with bravura. THE INTERSPHERE 2023 stand for maximum musical
curiosity and a spirit of discovery that could not better depict the ambivalence of
our time. In the lyrics on "Wanderer", singer Christoph Hessler alternates between
personal introspection and a socio- politically alert power of observation - the
work of THE INTERSPHERE is also inconceivable without this perspective. THE
INTERSPHERE don't shy away from the big hook line or dramatic harmony arcs in
their border crossings to post rock, metal and pop. Thus, the quartet remains
internationally on par with acts like Biffy Clyro, Royal Blood and Thrice in every
respect.

Nach dem Durchbruch ihres ersten Albums Moving Backwards sowie den beiden EPs The Path und The Divide veröffentlichen Wheel nun ihr neues Album Resident Human als Doppelvinyl mit Etching und Digipack.
Die sieben (teilweise bis zu 12 Minuten langen) Progressive Metal Songs handeln vom symbolischen Rückbau der Menschheit und sind teilweise vom Science Fiction Roman Hyperion Cantos von Dan Simmons inspiriert. Der rote Faden aller Songs liegt darin, was es bedeutet, ein Mensch zu sein - in unserem ganzen Glanz und unserer ganzen Hässlichkeit. Mit Resident Human beschreiben Wheel die Asche, die wir in 2020 fallen sehen haben und geben unserer fehlbaren Natur damit eine Stimme.

Nach der Veröffentlichung der beiden EPs "The Path" und "The Divide" sowie zahlreichen Konzerten in Europa (HRH Prog Festival in Wales, Summer Breeze Festival in Deutschland und einer Supporttour für Amorphis in Finnland, um nur wenige zu nennen), befasst sich das Quartett auf ihrem neuen Album nun verstärkt mit gesellschaftskritischen Themen. Songs wie "Wheel", der sich an George Orwell's Roman "1984" orientiert und die Gesellschaft unter verstärkt aufdringlicher Überwachung betrachtet, sowie das Lied "Tyrant", welches die Vorstellung einer Zukunft beschreibt, wo Selbstbestimmung extrem reguliert wird, zeichnen einen Rahmen um das übergeordnete Thema des Albums. Sowohl musikalisch als auch thematisch betrachtet hinterlässt "Moving Backwards" einen fesselnden und nachdenklich stimmenden Eindruck. Es ist eine weitreichende und mächtige Collage aus Progressive Rock, Grunge und Filmmusik, die sich dreht und wendet, wie es selten eine Band geschafft hat
