To celebrate Halloween, The Horrors released “Trial By Fire”, the second track to be taken from their recently announced sixth studio album Night Life (out March 21st via Fiction Records).
It’s been nearly 20 years since the band first form (vocalist Faris Badwan, bassist Rhys Webb, guitarist Joshua Hayward, keys Amelia Kidd, and drummer Jordan Cook), and based on their upcoming sold-out tour of the UK, it looks like they’re still doing quite well.

“Trick or Treat” is fun, and catchy, if not short, and there is a little bit of a small dialogue between the two singers. Adds Josie, “Hopefully we’ve made a perennial Halloween song you can’t get out of your head, whether you like it or not! LOL!”

Folk singer/songwriter Melanie died before she was able to record “Aloha Lucifer”… but there exists a “live in the studio” version, which Brooklyn’s “goth-folk” duo Charming Disaster (Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris) have decided to rework and collaborate with her vocals. That’s why the credit is listed as Melanie’s Charming Disaster.
“We really thought of this as a collaboration with Melanie,” say Charming Disaster, “and we approached the song a bit the way we do when we collaborate with each other as songwriters, which is to say: what do we think this song needs, how can we best serve it and make it shine? … To give the song a new sound and make it a bit more unexpected, we found a different chord progression that still fit under Melanie's original vocal melody -- which was sort of like solving a puzzle, or turning the music 90 degrees. It was exciting to bring something new to her song in this way. Her phrasing and lyrical style are so unique and sometimes whimsical, and we really wanted to support that.”

Brooklyn’s Sunshine Convention just dropped a Halloween (EP) today.
The EP features a cover of Blue Öyster Cult’s “Don't Fear The Reaper.”
Sunshine Convention’s Jake Whitener writes:
I still remember my little, plastic pumpkin shaped trick-or-treat bag and how the street lights would paint the asphalt in copper circles (as well as how dark the void of night was in between each lamp post.) I remember how crisp the air felt and the light chill that would come with the breeze. I remember the giddy suspense of approaching some of the neighbor's decorations like bloody scarecrows that would sit on the porch by their door and large spiders with bodies made out of black trash bags stuffed with leaves or the small motion activated ghosts that would suddenly shake and play a spooky 8-bit melody when you approached. It was always a mixture of fun, wonder, excitement and always a little bit of fear. It was also my favorite night of the year.
I wanted to make an EP that could have soundtracked those cold autumn nights. A collection of songs that felt like something a nerdy kid like me would have played on their town’s community radio show. A deep cut from a weirdo band in Oklahoma (Flaming Lips,) a stone cold Halloween classic (Blue Öyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper",) and two songs from a couple of unknowns who dropped off their unmarked tape earlier that evening (us.)
So in that spirit, I hope this collection becomes a small part of your late night activities this year or brings you back to your favorite Halloween memory. It was fun making it so I hope you have fun listening to it.
All songs recorded and performed by with additional vocals from Kira Skye on tracks 1 and 2.

Toronto’s Dumb Crush released their debut single “Witches In The Dark” today… on Halloween!
The trio features Owen Hooper (Mouth Breather, Super Genius), Liam Colbert (Rise Carmine) and Elliott Isaac (Cam Kahin, CJ Wiley), and they’ve played hundred of shows across North America and Europe.
The band writes:
We started this band on a complete whim in the summer months to shake off creative cobwebs and justify drinking one million beers on random Monday nights.
The first time we ever jammed in late June we wrote Witches In The Dark in about 30 minutes flat. It was recorded live-off-the-floor in one take @dreamhouseto
We’re so proud to share it with you and to say this is just the beginning for us ❤️❤️
Insane ups to @calvinhrtwck who engineered this track, @castlefrankmusic who mixed it in the blink of an eye and @kristianmontano for the master.
