NADER SADEK

At the depths of the earth substances of a repulsive nature dwell. Over millions of years creatures have disintegrated and decayed until taking on ghastly new life as petroleum. Like a return of the undead, petroleum has wrought cross-cultural conflict, environmental pollution, and economic distress. “In The Flesh” re-interprets petroleum’s sinister insinuation into our everyday lives.

Attic Salt

ATTIC SALT

Attic Salt is a band from Springfield, IL. Fred Malcom (drums), Andy Harmon (guitar/vocals), and Alyssa Currie (guitar/vocals) started playing together in late 2015. Lanny Durbin (bass) joined up in early 2017. Our first full length album (S/T) is out now.

Some nice things said about us:

“Attic Salt is one those bands that comes out of nowhere and blows you away Their sound is a mix of power pop that fits in the indie rock world as well as a resurgence of 90’s college rock. They are aggressive and melodic, everything a rock band should be.”

“I’m really digging this local-to-Springfield (IL) band called Attic Salt. Good crunchy, melodic, hooky rock with alternating male and female vocals. Right on.”

DEVIL’S HAND SOCIAL CLUB

Barry & The Fountains

BARRY AND THE FOUNTAINS

Barry J. Fontenot is a Louisiana-born, Chicago-based soul musician with a love of pushing boundaries and a flair for the dramatic. Raised in the “Deep Soul” and “Delta Blues” musical traditions, Barry’s vocal style brings to mind the strong, rich tenor notes of legendary singers such as Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. In his original compositions, however, Barry reveals the eclectic influences that have followed him throughout his musical journey—he strives, in his own words, to “write em’ like Jazz songs, play em’ like Rock songs, and sing em’ like Soul songs.”

Originally a Classical Tenor specializing in choral music, Barry decided to return to his musical roots in 2013, forming a Soul Band called “Barry Fontenot and the Hurricanes,” which performed mostly covers of the great Motown performers who had so inspired him in his youth. In 2014, while drunk and bleeding in Mexico, Barry wrote his first original song, “Desiree.” While the circumstances surrounding the song’s writing were less than glamourous, as Barry himself often explains (at-length) on stage, the experience of writing and performing original music was one that affected him to the extent that he now performs primarily his own songs, and has written upwards of three hours of performance material.

Upon moving to Chicago, Barry met The Fountains members, together they created a solid bond, smoothly complementing Barry’s voice and songs. Barry and The Fountains performing regularly in different venues and events around Chicagoland. Their debut single is about to be released soon.

Board member/collaborates include Jim Marcus (Die Warzau/Go Fight!) and Charles Levi (Thrill Kill Kult/Pigface).

SA Valkyrie

SA VALKYRIE

The heavy metal scene in San Antonio, TX was in full swing. Books have been written about the phenomenon. College courses were created to study it. Amongst the hordes of chaos, were the thrash warlords, Valkyrie. After releasing a cult classic demo, and playing shows throughout the state of Texas for a three year stint, they simply vanished.

Joe Gregory went on to get a finance degree from UTSA, start a family and is the author of six novels.

Scott Stine went on to play with multiple high profile touring acts. He was a Shrapnel Recording Artist whose album “Broke” received worldwide recognition and was featured on Liquid Note Records Compilation CD “The Alchemists” spotlighting 27 of the world’s greatest guitarists. He’s a clinician and pioneer for Ibanez’s 7 string guitars. Also, under the Shrapnel label, he contributed, wrote and performed with Crimeny, Haji’s Kitchen, Eniac Requim, and Tommy Lamey. Scott’s endorsements include Ibanez, Rocktron, Hughes and Kettner, SIT Strings, and Swiss Picks. For the last twenty years, Scott co-wrote, arranged/produced, and recorded several CD’s for his church. He still plays weekly for church services, weddings and various jazz ensembles and tribute bands.

In 2018, a renewed interest for San Antonio heavy metal bands, mainly from the eighties, progressed to a resurgence of local bands getting back together and performing again. Missing the good old days and camaraderie, Joe contacted Scott to see if he had any interest in performing or recording again. Thankfully, Scott said, yes! Needless to say, Valkyrie had unfinished business to tend to and release a proper offering for their fans. With that, the Choosers of the Slain EP was recorded and released in 2019 to the delight and praise of fans and critics alike.

The San Antonio thrash-metal pioneers are back with a blistering and unforgiving effort. If you’re a fan of old school thrash metal and today’s modern metal, you’re going to love this band’s unique sound.

Silver Talon

SILVER TALON

With a virtuosic guitar attack, a rumbling rhythm section, and powerful, soaring vocals, Portland, Oregon’s Silver Talon is razor sharp and ready to become a major force in heavy metal. In February of 2018, Silver Talon released their first demo track “Devil Machine.” The track offered a small sample of Silver Talon’s ability to masterfully blend hook, melody, and technical ability into fist clenching, head-bangable heavy metal. Their second demo release, “Warrior’s End,” showcases more of Silver Talon’s dexterity in riffs, bent time signatures, and lush melodies.

Worlds Scariest Police Chases

WORLDS SCARIEST POLICE CHASES

Worlds Scariest Police Chases writes riff-heavy, melody-driven punk with the aggressive tactics of a fully unchecked police force. Their dynamic sound sets the stage for lyrics loaded with unapologetic commentary, biting snark and several well-placed puns.

The infamous party cops from Pittsburgh have been together since 2010, with the self-released full-length UNFUCKWITHABLE (2012). Soon after, the band joined Pittsburgh label A-F Records for two more releases: “NOFX…And Out Come The Wolves Dookie” (2013) and EP “Adolf Hipster” (2015).

Worlds Scariest Police Chases has shared stages across the US and Canada with modern punk staples like Suicide Machines, Anti-Flag, Red City Radio, Iron Chic and more. The band’s raucous, energetic on-stage antics have earned them a regular invite to punk’s most revered annual pilgrimage, The FEST.

In the time since the release of their last last release, the Worlds Scariest Police Chases has weathered personal losses, watching an expanding culture of abuse in music, a volatile political climate and a rotating cast of contributing musicians. As a result they’ve turned their spotlights onto those deeper issues.

Their new release “ABLUM 3” with Say-10 Records, inviting both old and new fans to the table with their now signature kitsch while exploring newer, and often darker, topics. Worlds Scariest Police Chases continues to shock the doe-eyed and elate those hungry for something with more grit in their punk rock.

LENNY LASHLEY’S GANG OF ONE

LENNY LASHLEY is a household name in New England, and beyond. Whether it’s performing on stage or slinging drinks at The Midway Cafe in Jamaica Plains (MA), Lenny is a star – regaling the world with Boston history and decades of tour stories like no one else can. His voice is as Boston as it gets – and as identifiable as any other frontman out there. Lenny’s even narrated movies and done voiceover gigs to help sustain being a diehard rock and roller first and foremost.

A longtime fixture in the Boston punk scene, Lenny has been playing and touring for 20 years. With more energy and clarity than ever before, Lenny has been playing solo acoustic shows, reinvigorating a New Darkbuster, making cameos with Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and even joining the Boston powerhouse Street Dogs. Lenny is staying busy, rocking and rolling, and living life to the fullest.

Lenny Lashley’s Gang Of One is hands-down the best example of the talent and creativity pouring out of this incredible soul. It’s illuminating and insightful, passionate and beautifully crafted. Timeless and unclassifiable songs that illustrate the story of a well-travelled thoughtful American wearing his heart on his sleeve, never afraid to speak his mind, stand up for his fellow man, and be an example of always striving to be the best human you can be.

Whether they are played solo on a barstool or as a 7-piece in an arena supporting Dropkick Murphys, these songs and Lenny’s performances are legendary. They cut through a room (or even an arena) and get right in your face – conveying a desperately needed soul-filled message for today’s turbulent world.

Return_of_Saturn

NO DOUBT “RETURN OF SATURN”

Return of Saturn is the fourth studio album by American rock band No Doubt. It was released on April 11, 2000, by Trauma Records and Interscope Records. It marked the band’s first album as a quartet, following the departure of original keyboardist Eric Stefani in 1994. After touring for two and a half years to promote their breakthrough third studio album, Tragic Kingdom (1995), No Doubt wrote several dozen songs for its follow-up and eventually settled on working with producer Glen Ballard. Creating the album became a tumultuous process lasting two years, during which there was dissension among band members and between the band and its label. The album was completed after the band returned to the studio and recorded what became two of its singles.

The album maintains the ska punk and reggae influences of the band’s previous work, but with slower, more ballad-like songs. The lyrics to many of the songs describe singer Gwen Stefani’s pining for a more domestic life, contrasting that with her commitment to a music career.

Staring At The Sea - The Singles

THE CURE “STARING AT THE SEA – THE SINGLES”

Big and moody, Staring at the Sea compiles some hits and near misses of these excavators of the dark soul. Beginning with their earliest hits–the sparse “Killing an Arab,” the aptly tedious “10:15 Saturday Night,” and the charming “Boys Don’t Cry”–this collection stops before the comparative giddiness of Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me.

Musicians first, brooding art types second, The Cure’s unique instrumentation doesn’t get the credit it rightfully deserves. The thrashy, trash-can break in “Jumping Someone Else’s Train,” the sprightly synthesized recorder of “Close to Me,” and the techno-pop disco lines in “Let’s Go to Bed” and “The Walk” are downright brilliant in their effectiveness and simplicity. A string of money shots if ever there was one. –Steve Gdula

PARAMORE “RIOT!”

Riot! is the second studio album by American rock band Paramore. It was released in the United States on June 12, 2007 through Fueled by Ramen as a follow-up to their debut album, All We Know Is Falling (2005). The album was produced by David Bendeth and written by band members Hayley Williams and Josh Farro, with Bendeth, and fellow member Zac Farro co-writing on select tracks. The album is said to explore a “diverse range of styles,” while not straying far from the “signature sound” of their debut album, with several critics comparing it to likes of Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne. The cover of the album also resembles the cover artwork of No Doubt’s Rock Steady.

BLINK-182 “ENEMA OF THE STATE”

Enema of the State is the third studio album by American rock band Blink-182, released on June 1, 1999, by MCA Records. After a long series of performances at various clubs and festivals and several indie recordings throughout the 1990s, Blink-182 first achieved popularity on the Warped Tour and in Australia following the release of their second album Dude Ranch (1997) and its rock radio hit “Dammit”. To record their third album, Blink-182 turned to veteran punk rock producer Jerry Finn, who previously worked on Green Day’s breakthrough album Dookie (1994). Enema was the band’s first album to feature second drummer Travis Barker, who replaced original drummer Scott Raynor.

 

NEW ORDER “LOW-LIFE”

Low-Life is the third studio album by English rock band New Order, released on 13 May 1985 by Factory Records. It is considered to be among the band’s strongest work, displaying the moment they completed their transformation from post-punk hold-overs to dance-rockers. The album shows New Order’s increased incorporation of synthesisers and samplers, while still preserving the rock elements of their earlier work. The original Factory CD issues of the album were mastered with pre-emphasis.

INSTRUCTED BY GILLIAN MCGHEE

Hey y’all, Gillian here! I’m a musician, bartender and yoga teacher in Chicago. I came to yoga a few years ago as a skeptic, but over time, it has become one of the most important parts of my life. To me, yoga is all about connecting your mind, body and breath together to energize, restore and heal yourself. My goal is to make yoga more approachable for beginners or skeptics (particularly folks in the music and service industries) and show them what a powerful tool it can be as joyful movement, self-care and self-study. By bringing yoga to spaces that that we know and love (like Reggies or the lakefront), we can explore the practice in an environment that makes it less intimidating! Please reach out with any questions, I can’t wait to see you on your mat!

Extinguish The Sun

EXTINGUISH THE SUN

Extinguish the Sun formed in the Fall of 2015, emerging out of members of three fairly disparate local acts, chapter seven, Trippin Molly, and Panic Stations.

After releasing their first full-length, Antihero, the band played numerous shows. In the wake of releasing this record, EtS have played in and around the Dixon–Sterling–Rock Falls area with various diverse acts. Beyond playing shows in their immediate area, EtS recorded a session with Carl Nelson in DeKalb for WNIJ’s local music showcase, Sessions from Studio A. The band have also worked to extend their reach to other Midwest cities and bring their music before broader and more diverse audiences.

Around 1 ½ years after the release of Antihero, in January of 2019, they entered Straightaway Productions with local engineer Drew Widolff to record their EP, Oceans, slated to be released later in 2019. Comprised of six tracks of completely new material, this EP shows the band in their true form, experimenting, evolving, and honing their sound, but always remaining true to their initial intent of intensity, melody, and originality.
As 2019 unfolds, guitarists Nick Grobe and Jeremy Toms, bassist Daniel Edmunds, singer Jeremy Miller, and drummer Michael Morley have continued rehearsing and writing songs. With a broad range of influences and musical tastes, EtS work to continue writing compelling songs and releasing them, getting out and performing live as much as possible.
EtS continue booking shows and laying out their schedule for the coming year. You can surely expect to see them in a basement | garage | punk hovel near you soon.

With a strong statement, tone, and attitude, the song quickly blew up on TikTok and has become one of the app’s most popular trends so far in 2019. Now, BigKlit’s ready for world domination.
