Band of Rascals

Tempest

Hailing from the rugged west coast of Canada, Band of Rascals announce the release of their EP Tempest. Blending elements of hard-hitting modern rock with the vintage aesthetic of southern blues, Tempest is an in your face rock album, which pairs guitars with thundering drums that underline the soaring rock vocals of lead singer Sam Trainor.

Recorded at Vancouver’s iconic studio, The Warehouse, by famed producer, Eric Ratz (Billy Talent, Arkells, Monster Truck) and features a collection of stylish, gritty rock n' roll. Thick layered guitars and slamming drums underline soaring rock vocals in a sonic assault that forces blood to flow faster, and creates crackling excitement. This EP jumps out of speakers and every song has a driving force of its own – loud, head thrashing, wild, raging music that sneers, breathes, growls and pulses madly.
Genre: Rock : Classic Rock

NEW + NOTABLE #1

Staring Into Nothing

Puritans
“Puritans”, the latest single from Staring Into Nothing, explores the theme of people seeking to deceitfully control the behavior of others "for their own good." This noble conceit ends up being the justification for terrible acts, like witch burning, maiming humans, the Inquisition, jail sentences for consensual crime, and missionary zeal that leads to cultural destruction. 
Genre: Rock : Progressive
NEW + NOTABLE #2
