PARKWAY DRIVE

Australian metal band Parkway Drive recently released their documentary film Viva The Underdogs (available for streaming in rental & purchase at various platforms, including iTunes and Amazon Music).

Additionally, you can also buy the soundtrack, featuring 1 live tracks from the band’s 2019 headlining set at Wacken Open Air festival in Germany. The soundtrack also contains three bonus studio tracks: “Würgegriff (Vice Grip)”, “Die Leere (The Void)”, and “Schattenboxen (Shadow Boxing)” (features German rapper Casper).

Although the band announced a North American tour, starting August 21st… but given the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, we’re not entirely sure if this might happen. Here’s to hope.

GOOD DOG NIGEL
gooddognigel.com

Good Dog Nigel is the stage name of 23-year old Parker Emeigh… who recently released his latest single “Strawberries”.

American Songwriter interviewed Emeigh and compared him to being influenced by The Beatles, even citing his late ‘60s fashion tastes. I guess, Strawberry Fields Forever, right?

“Strawberries” was supposed to have been released earlier in March, so Good Dog Nigel could tour to Austin, Texas, for SXSW, but unfortunately, we all know what happened due to the Coronavirus crisis.

Watch “Strawberries” on youtube.com

 

ARTHUR
arthur.dog

Philadelphia-based musician Arthur (stylized as ARTHUR) recently released his single “No Tengo” (that means “Don’t Have” in Spanish) from his forthcoming album Hair of the Dog (set for release on May 15th on Honeymoon Records).

Arthur does seem to have an obsession with dogs, as his previous debut album was called Woof Woof (about being in solitude in the woods of Delaware County).

Listen to “No Tengo” here: smarturl.it/notengo

 

DINING WITH DOGS
diningwithdogs.bandcamp.com

Austin, Texas-based sludge metal quartet Dining With Dogs (featuring former members of The Dead See, BLK OPS, and more) will release their debut LP, The Problem With Friends on May 15, 2020.

The Problem With Friends will be available on digital and 12” clear vinyl via Dirt City Studios.

The band is planning on performing a live show from The Lost Well on Sunday, May 17th, but given the Coronavirus pandemic, I’m not sure how they are going to do this.

 

LUSH PUPPY

Lush Puppy just released their sophomore EP called Copy Crauw (BERT music). The title is in reference to “Koppie Krauw”, a Dutch phrase that translates to “scratch my head”.

The duo (artist and stylist Roos Ooteman and Gabriel Vezzola aka DJ Gabriel) previously had their music play in the US, Canada, Mexico, France, Germany, and The Netherlands, etc.

Copy Crauw track listing:

1. Kill For Fun

I wanted to mention these guys before February, because they are in the middle of a US tour ...

The Aussies took over The Cabooze in Minneapolis on Sunday night for the all-ages Noise Presents: Ire Tour, featuring Parkway Drive, Miss May I, Thy Art is Murder and In Hearts Wake.

There was nothing quiet and calming about the show. From the second that opening act In Heart Wake (an Australian metalcore band) took the stage, the crowd erupted along with the energy of the band. For an opening band, these guys really knew how to get the crowd going and how to keep the energy up. Singer Jake Taylor was all over the stage and getting in the crowd's faces which is exactly what you want at a heavy show like this.

They impressed the crowd with their professional sound and pure talent. These guys have toured the US with acts such as The Ghost Inside and Every Time I Die but had yet to hit up the Twin Cities. After the response they got from the crowd, they promised they would be back next year and for good reason. Keep your eyes on these guys. They are going to hit the scene and blow it up.

Thy Art Is Murder

Next up was Thy Art Is Murder, a deathcore band also from Australia. I saw these guys last October at The Skyway Theater supporting Born Of Osiris. Unfortunately, they did not catch my or get me going. They changed that this time. They absolutely killed it last night. Their set was heavy. It was hard to distinguish any words sung, maybe yelled is a better word, by singer/screamer/growler Chris "CJ" McMahon but that's part of their charm.

Miss May I was the only American band on the bill last night. They are a melodic hardcore band from Ohio that has toured with bands such as Killswitch Engage, Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine. I saw these guys this past February at Mill City Nights with August Burns Red. They did so much better last night because of the intimacy of the venue. There were kids trying to crowd surf but due to the size of the club, there were no barricades to the kids would just end up on the stage. This would annoy many bands but all of the bands last night (including Miss May I) took this as an opportunity to get closer with the fans by giving them high fives and hugs as they barreled onto the stage.

Parkway Drive

The night concluded with legends Parkway Drive from Australia. These guys have been around forever but haven't been to the Twin Cities for a headlining show in 5+ years. They brought down the house with their heavy hitting metalcore anthems. The thing that separates these guys from other metalcore bands is the fact that there are no clean vocals. Every word put through the microphone was shouted and the crowd and the crowd had no problem shouting right back.

There was an endless stream of crowd surfers that seemed to get stranded up on the stage for a few moments until either another member of the crowd threw them back onto the sweaty pile of people that had gathered at the front of the stage of a tech guy did the same. There was nothing but respect felt for this band. They were pioneers and legends and the kids in the crowd treated them as such. No on tried to grab the microphones away, they simply banged their heads and pumped their fists until they were swallowed up by the sweaty pit.

This tour was in support of Parkway Drive's newest release Ire which came out September on Epitaph Records, but they played songs that dated all the way back to their debut album Killing With a Smile.

You may recall we first caught Halsey (aka Ashley Frangipane) with The Kooks in October 2014 and wrote, "I've seen a lot of bands in my time, and I have to say, keep an eye out for this one." And as predicted, Halsey has two big hit singles on her hands, "Ghost" and "New Americana" (from her debut album Badlands available on Astralwerks)... and as a result, she completely sold out her entire USA tour.

As a bonus, here is another photo of Halsey from her recent appearance in June 2015 with Imagine Dragons.

Thanks to the success of his new album, his shows have been selling out across the country (but to be fair, we wrote he sells out shows in 2011).

Opening up the show will be Hurray for the Riff Raff (aka Alynda Segarra), who we previously saw at the inaugural Festival Palomino.

PARKWAY DRIVE
at The Cabooze
Sunday, 11/08/2015, 5pm ($25)

Parkway Drive is an Australian metalcore band that I've been listening to for years. I cannot put into words how excited I am to finally see these guys live.

What sets these guys apart from most other metalcore bands is that they do not use clean vocals... ever. Most bands try to make their music accessible to everyone by adding clean and calm vocals. These guys really don't care and that's why I love them. Their music is heavy and unforgiving and I can only imagine that their live show is close to the same.

Parkway Drive will be touring in support of their newest release Ire which just came out on Epitaph Records earlier this month. They will be playing at The Cabooze in Minneapolis on Sunday, November 8th.

Thy Art Is Murder and Miss May I to open.

Parkway Drive-Carrion

Parkway Drive is not a street, but a metalcore band from Byron Bay, Australia. I wanted to mention these guys before February, because they are in the middle of a US tour. They are heading into Europe in the next few months with Bury Your Dead and Suicide Silence.

So, eh, I've mentioned this before, but metal is not my cup of tea, nor do I understand it. Literally, I can't hear what the singer is saying.

Looking at the lyrics on the liner notes, they are actually really intelligent! It's really too bad that my untrained ears cannot pick up the lyrics (which sounds like angst and fury).

Check out an excerpt of "Carrion":

In a moment I'm lost
Dying from the inside
Her eyes take me away
Tear me apart from the inside out
Dead eyes speak in volumes?
But our lips refuse to move
Could this ever be the last time?
The final time that we see this through?

I think this is a love song.

If you love metal, check them out on tour - I'm sure they're a riot to watch on stage, as seen on their Boneyards video. The video splices imageries of a hurricane... which pretty much sums up this song.
