RAHWAY releases new single -- [Drowning]

Posted by Garrett Jones · August 22, 2023

RAHWAY, the hard rock powerhouse renowned for their electrifying performances and thought-provoking lyrics, is set to make waves once again with their highly anticipated new single, "Drowning." The track, which pulls no punches, delves into the depths of social media pretense, shedding light on the unspoken struggle faced by individuals who go to great lengths to project a glamorous façade on their online profiles.

In an era where social media has become a battleground for validation and self-worth, Rahway fearlessly explores the dark underbelly of fabricated lives. "Drowning" captures the essence of a person drowning in their own falsehoods, desperately seeking approval through carefully crafted images and narratives. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the individual's relentless pursuit of a mirage, ultimately exposing the hollowness that lies beneath the surface.

Rahway's signature hard-hitting sound, characterized by gritty guitar riffs, thunderous drumming, and impassioned vocals, serves as the perfect vehicle to convey the emotional intensity of "Drowning." The band's unwavering commitment to their craft is evident in every note, as they deliver a powerful sonic experience that resonates with listeners on a profound level.

Lead vocalist, Nick Hade, states:

"With 'Drowning,' we wanted to highlight the struggle many face when trying to maintain an illusion of perfection on social media. It's become all too common for people to present an idealized version of themselves, but beneath it all, they're struggling to keep up with their own lies. This song is a wake-up call, a reminder that authenticity and genuine connections are far more valuable than a carefully curated online persona."

"Drowning" is the latest offering from Rahway, following their critically acclaimed album Slumlords of New Jersey and hit singles such as Carry You and Rocketship. The band's unwavering dedication to crafting hard rock anthems that resonate with their audience has garnered them a devoted following and widespread acclaim within the rock community.

As they release "Drowning" to the world, Rahway invites fans and rock enthusiasts alike to join them on a journey of raw emotion and unfiltered truths. Brace yourself for an auditory assault that challenges societal norms and provokes introspection.

Stream the new album from VEER -- [Soft Machines]

Posted by Garrett Jones · July 31, 2023

VEER has just released their second album, Soft Machines.

FROM THE BAND: As a band, we pushed this second album in a different direction than the first. It's sonically more mature, with layered melodies and more intricate and nuanced chord structures. It's arguably a concept album, running a thematic balance between the organic nature of humankind and the dreamlike, fanciful notions of transcending beyond that humanity--a literal "BLAST OFF!" from the human race. We refer to this record as our space album. The title, Soft Machines, which comes from a line in our song "Red Tide," is just another phrase for people. We're all just soft, fleshy machines, toiling about on this pale blue dot. -Ronald Malfi

Dirtbag Block of Rock [The Kaleidoscope Kid]

Posted by Doug Smith · April 28, 2023

Dirtbag Rogalsky got a chance to catch up with The Kaleidoscope Kid after a run in at the Happens Radio Convention in Las Vegas, NV earlier this year.

The Kaleidoscope Kid is a Phoenix, Arizona native that grew up on skateboarding, visual art, and outdoor escapism. The diversity of his activities and surroundings translated into a varied love for music, bringing about a sonic landscape in his work that echoes his passions and interests.

Although a true newcomer to the music scene, Kaleidoscope’s discography leaps and bounds between spaces, leaning on his charisma to bring the listener along for the ride. A fan of an extensive catalog of inspirations that span from Beck, Pink Floyd, to Bob Marley and Sublime— his work is a reflection of intentionality and passion for the craft. Taking pieces of his life and translating them into his sound has helped Kaleidoscope create an ethereal world that’s equal parts relatable and entrancing.

Kaleidoscope’s voice is sure to resonate with many and inspire a new trajectory of music-making that breaks the customary rules of genre. Thankfully, as we all know, there are some rules that are begging to be broken.

Kaleidoscope recently signed to indie powerhouse label Suburban Noize Records and is working alongside the label to create his debut album, developing and fine-tuning his musicianship for his broadened audience. This positive new chapter in his career brings Kaleidoscope into the deeper pools of the music scene, which is sure to expand his discography as well as his fan base.

His first single under his new label deal with Suburban Noize was “Hold Up”, which continues to gain momentum with his edgy vocals and idiosyncratic flows. The song now has surpassed one million streams on Spotify, as more and more fans are converted by The Kaleidoscope Kid’s genre-blending artistry. The music video for the song plays like a cinematic homage to Breaking Bad, with the singer wrestling with a bad trip and burying himself — or his former self — in a shallow desert grave.
