Dave Hause – Kick

Philadelphia singer-songwriter Dave Hause will be unleashing his fourth album Kick to the world on April 12 through Rise Records!

“There is comfort in desperation when you know that other people experience it too, and together you can both sing it and sing through it,“ Hause continues. ”As I listen back, I hope the album offers more comfort than desperation. I hope we got that balance right.”

Raketkanon – RKTKN#3

Belgian experimental rockers Raketkanon are back with a new record! RKTKN#3 is set for release on April 5 through Alcopop! Records.

“The new record, and the songs themselves, are way more eclectic,” explains vocalist Pieter-Paul Devos. “In a way, we felt we had pushed our abilities—and learned what we could do musically—to the max, previously. For this album, we tried to feel what the limits of our old way of working were. We pretty much renewed ourselves.”

Parting Gift – Ensom

Manchester’s Parting Gift are releasing their new EP Ensom on March 22! The record is their first o new label Fearless Records!

Vocalist Zac Vernon says: “The basis of the entire EP is the feeling of a cold, dark entity making one unable to feel anything. The darkest of dreams and visions, delusions. It is walking the thin line between what is real and what is in your mind. It is the obsession by what is seemingly out of one’s control. A sort of coping strategy for the pain it causes.”

 

‘ENSOM’ TRACKLISTING:

  1. Pale
  2. 03:07 (Moonlight)
  3. Without Sin
  4. Cold
  5. Ensom

Mammoth Penguin – There’s No Fight We Can’t Both Win

Vocalist Emma Kupa explains: “The times when people have said my lyrics resonate with them or articulate something specific for them are extremely validating for me and I hope that happens with this album,” 

“Arranging the songs with Mark and Tom is a massive buzz and playing them live as a band feels so exciting. Having Joe and Faith put their mark on the album was also a massive privilege. Making a record can be an extremely slow and drawn out process that requires patience, perseverance and resilience, and because of that we are super excited and proud to be releasing this album.”
