New Singles On Golden Robot Records
Check out the latest on Golden Robot Records…
Melbourne-based alternate hard rockers Cicadastone have released the official video for their latest single Out of Sight out now via Golden Robot Records.
Out of Sight is the follow up to the recently release singles Dying In Sunshine and Box Of Anger. All three tracks are taken from their upcoming 2021 album Cold Chamber.
“Out of sight is a song about self-discovery and challenging yourself to know who you really are. To admit your faults and be ok with it. We are who we are even if we wanna be something else. Look within yourself and ask that question. Are you happy with who you are? You should be, but It’s easy to lose sight of a vision and hard to stay focused on your goal. We’re always cascading out of sight….’’ – Cicadastone
With unique instrumentation and biting vocal intensity characterising the latest offering from Cicadastone, Out Of Sight, will go a long way towards establishing them as one of Australia’s hottest new rock acts.
Hailing from Dayton, Ohio ABERTOOTH LINCOLN are an aggressive, spacey hardcore progressive punk band. Their music is heavy, weird, complicated and can flip genres within seconds. But the bottom line is they are unique and refreshing. On the back of their recent single and video Hell House, ABERTOOTH LINCOLN have dropped a new single Soup For My Family via Riot Records. Again, it is another tour de force of musical innovation
“This song is a response to the violent and subversive actions taken by undercover federal officers, police and right-wing militia against BLM protesters during the summer of 2020 in US cities. In Portland, Oregon people were literally pulled off of the street and forced into unmarked cars for simply protesting. The military sought to use heat ray guns against protesters in DC in September. Federal troops were sent into cities, and there are countless, documented examples of “mysterious people” taking actions to discredit the movement, doing things such as “brick baiting” or vandalizing property in an effort to distort the story and incite further destruction that could then be blamed on the protests. Then you have police gassing the streets to make way for Trump to stand in front of a church, bible in hand, for a photo shoot. Sounds like some ‘Escape from New York’ level fiction, but it’s really happening. This is our very angry song about it.” – ABERTOOTH LINCOLN
Amy Angel and the HellRaisers are straight outta the East Bay and they’ll have you kickin’ up your heels with their brand of Cow Punk! Their new LP Do It Again mixes country, punk, and psychobilly! Do It Again is out now via Die Laughing Records and Amy will convince you that “It’s Never Too Late!” It’s catchy, upbeat and delivers a fresh yet nostalgic feeling.
Amy Angel and the HellRaisers began with a phone conversation between two longtime friends. Don Lamb had come up with some lyrics and was wondering if he could count on his old band mate Tony Lourenco for the music. Tony and his wife, Amy, got busy and the rest is history! They got the band together with Amy on vocals; Tony on guitar; Don and Aaron Madsen sharing bass duty; and Mario Areias on drums. Aaron started recording at Amy and Tony’s Bay Area home during the summer of 2017. This album is the culmination of the creative collaboration of a group of friends who have one thing in common: the love of making music.
Melbourne based band Shotgun Mistress has released the official music video for their latest hard rock onslaught, Collide, out now via Crusader Records. Collide highlights the band’s now trademark style of combining stupefying guitar riff grenades, a combustible rhythm section and soaring vocals wrapped in a melodic maelstrom. Shotgun Mistress is as hard to define as it is difficult to ignore – Ignore them at your peril.
This quartet of consummate rock tune craftsmen is riding high on the success of their previous releases, including Save Me from Myself, which bulleted to No1. on the iTunes Australian Rock Charts and smashed into the Top 40 chart, and their last single Glorious Machine, which left charts smouldering in its wake for weeks on end.
The new track is another fiery affair; a blistering tumult of distortion led full tilt with a heart on the sleeve lyric and sly, endearing hooks that don’t let up. Collide is one more tantalizing preview of their forthcoming debut album, due to set the rock world ablaze late in 2020.
Wollongong, Australia based punks The Culture Industry have released their new single Middle Aged Kids via Riot Records. The Culture Industry delivers us a blend of old and new school punk with a grungy overtone. It is fun, good time vibes, full of humour and character… but still PUNK!
“This Grungy pop-punk satire track is a tribute to the girl ten years younger than us who called us Middle Aged Kids” – The Culture Industry
UK rock trio, SKAM have released a new single and video clip One Track Mind which is out now via X-Ray Records. It is the follow up to recent single Green Eyes and comes off their upcoming EP Intra. The track sees the boys express the darker side of the SKAM sound.
The fuzztastic buzzsaw riff heralds the story of a man with insomnia, the trouble he has getting to sleep and the thoughts in his head, all be it for a chilling reason. Inspired by the strange notion that even the most innocent can have dark secrets and things hiding in the shadows.
The track itself is the perfect blend of what makes SKAM popular, hard hitting riffs and a melodic sing-along chorus. The track features a guitar duel outro by SKAM’s Steve Hill and Paul Mahon of The Answer who makes a guest appearance to add some further fire.
Steve says: “The Answer were the first band to take us on the road so will always have a special place in our hearts, Paul has become a good friend and has some serious face melting skills so I could think of no one better to offer out to a guitar duel for our track One Track Mind we were overjoyed when he agreed and we are so proud of the result”
Turn it up loud and enjoy.
Denver dirt rockers LOST RELICS have dropped their new single Unrealistic Cause via Coffin & Bolt / Golden Robot Records. Sludgy, doomy and damn riff heavy LOST RELICS come at you with the same intensity of some of their contemporaries Corrosion of Conformity, Down, Crowbar and Clutch.
The weight of indifference is the boulder that crushes our society. Empathy is dead and with it so are we. It is an Unrealistic Cause. LOST RELICS employ Richter scale riffs to manifest the emotional density of these troubled times. Songs of protest. Songs of desperation. Songs for the end.

“Crosses is lyrically about looking yourself in the mirror, realizing everyone is going to die and humbly wondering why we’re all here and what this is all for. We tried to execute a feeling of franticness and anxiousness with the push and pull off each musical section.” – In The Whale

This new record is a diverse evolution of the heavy rock sound and unlike much heard in the music world these days. Kilfeather’s latest work explores many aspects of the genre while also mixing in a dash of punk and pop into the potion.

Rick Pierce is a founding member, lead guitar and songwriter of the legendary Seattle hard rock band TKO, whose debut release Let It Roll continues to cement the band’s cult-like status. Pierce then went on to play with Q5 (with Floyd Rose, acclaimed inventor of the Floyd Rose tremolo system) who’s album Steal The Light goes down as an all-time classic.
Pierce now returns with RPG (Rick Pierce Group) who recently signed with Crusader Records and have delivered new single Tick Tock. Tick Tock was written in the spirit of Q5’s Missing in Action, Steel the Light’s hard-hitting album opener. The idea is to get everyone’s attention from the start. It matches a heavy guitar riff to Floyd’s almost mystical lyrics. It is a pure slab of the best U.S. power / traditional metal.

Following up from their recent single Body Parts that delivered an intense, thrashy hardcore brand of punk, UNDER THE INFLUENCE wind it right back with an acoustic version of their 2019 track Propaganda Leaks which is out now via Riot Records.
“Propaganda Leaks acoustic version, is a heartfelt track about losing life or love due to struggling with society and its many downfalls. It was originally the single from our previous album Exchange My Brain. But this acoustic version is the brain-child of our fearless drummer Dan Southern aka (chicken wing) sometimes referred to as “the wing commander. He come up with the concept of this while experimenting with this as an acoustic track. Although this track couldn’t have been done without the help of a very talented friend Billy Demos on piano and guest vocals. This acoustic version showcases some raw emotion with a softer touch.” -UNDER THE INFLUENCE
