We have been loving the first song off their new album, Sonic Highways. The song is called Something From Nothing and is really going to grab a hold of you. The song has the perfect build up and takes you from a solemn intro into that fierce intensity of Dave Grohl’s vocals amid some heavy guitars that have you swirling. I love it!!! It screams 70’s classic rock yet with such a Foo Fighters flair. Check it out here:

NEW POLITICS release music video for Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens)

Our friends in New Politics have just released their new music video for their song, Everywhere I Go, (Kings and Queens). You will even catch Thanks to The Walking Dead’s Christian Serratos, pro skater Ben Hatchell, and LOLO in it. So check it out here:

New Politics are currently out on their headlining tour with Bad Suns and SomeKindaWonderful. In case you missed it, check out a repost of our coverage from their San Francisco show:

* * * * * * *

New Politics are out on another headlining tour which will take them across the country. Sunday night they made a stop in San Francisco and performed at the legendary Fillmore. It was great to see them headline at the Fillmore when only a few years ago, they were there opening for The Dirty Heads. From the first time, we saw New Politics open for The Spill Canvas at Slim’s in 2010. They blew us away as we dubbed them “Energizer Bunny Meets Nirvana”.

 

They put on one of the most energetic, engaging sets that you don’t ever want to miss. Once again at the Fillmore, they exceeded all of our expectations and delivered a top notch set. Check out a sneak peek of photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:

Their set included old and new songs which had the crowd brimming with excitement. It was great to hear the crowd singing along to their new song, Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens) which will be featured on their upcoming new album, VIkings set for a release in February 2015 on DCD2/Warner Bros records.  They even brought the house down as they performed a cover of Beastie Boys Sabotage. What a night it was and I truly am proud to see how far these young men have come. They are definitely one of the hardest working bands out there and it is no surprise to see their fast rise to the top. They deserve it!

The tour included their special guests of Bad Suns and SomeKindaWonderful.   Check out the dates below and see if they will be coming to a venue near you:

11/12 St. Louis, MO @ The Pageant ( Tickets )
11/13 Minneapolis, MN @ Varsity Theater ( Tickets )

Make sure to catch them out on tour. I know I always tell you to make sure to get out to shows, but SERIOUSLY this is one show you WANT to BE AT!  New Politics are amazing with their live performances and their stage presence I think is one that can be matched.  You can’t help but leave their show in a better mood, better place, or just full of energy and excitement, regardless of what you may be going through. Their music is like instant adrenaline and bliss.

Have you ever seen our interview with them at last year’s Uproar Festival? If not, check it out h ere:

Saving Abel launch album pre-release of Blood Stained Revolution

Saving Abel are set to release their new album, Blood Stained Revolution on November 11th. The band has launched a digital pre-release of the album that goes live today via Rockbiz. The complete album is available for $5.00 with 10% of gross proceeds going to support veterans.  All purchases from today through midnight November 10 will support charitable organizations working on behalf those who have served. The album is available here: http://shop.rokbiz.com/shop/saving-abel/blood-stained-revolution-entire-album-digital-download.

Saving Abel guitarist Scott Bartlett shares, “We’ve always supported the troops.  They remind us every night on tour that our music has helped them through some of their darkest hours away from home and family.  There is a mutual respect between SA and the military that is very endearing and very real.  If they are going to risk their lives so that we can play rock and roll, we need to remind them as often as we can that we recognize their sacrifice.  Releasing the album on Veteran’s Day is not a coincidence, it was a choice made by the five of us.  We don’t want any credit for it.  We simply want to remind people that our military risk everything for democracy.  Blood Stained Revolution is a guitar heavy rock record that stays true to our southern and American roots.  We are confident that our message of hope through rock and roll will continue to inspire and help people through rough times.”  Founding member and guitarist Jason Null adds, “Some of our most memorable shows were played for our troops. This year was basically ‘back to the drawing board’ for Saving Abel so we missed out on being able to go visit with them. Donating a percentage of these proceeds was just the right thing for us to do.”

Saving Abel have consistently supported veterans and the album is being released on Veterans Day. The band has often traveled around the world to play for the troops, sometimes taking them to the most dangerous and remote places.

This new album will be the first to feature the two new members; Scotty Austin and drummer Steven Pulley. Founding member and guitarist, Jason Null had this to say, “Losing or replacing a front man is nothing any band wants to do.  So we decided we wouldn’t replace anyone we would consider this a rebirth for band, an opportunity to write and record the music we’ve always wanted to. Scotty’s attitude and enthusiasm and belief in us along with new drummer Steven Pulley has enabled us to make a change but stay the same. We are all enjoying our fans, travels, and music and for once this feels like a true brotherhood.  We have the tattoos to prove it!”  It will also be the first album to be released on their new label, Tennessippi Whiskey Records.

We have been hooked on their latest single, Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens) and they are currently working on a music video for it. Check out a little behind the scenes video to get you excited for it:

Make sure to catch them out on tour. I know I always tell you to make sure to get out to shows, but SERIOUSLY this is one show you WANT to BE AT!  New Politics are amazing with their live performances and their stage presence I think is one that can be matched.  You can’t help but leave their show in a better mood, better place, or just full of energy and excitement, regardless of what you may be going through. Their music is like instant adrenaline and bliss.

Have you ever seen our interview with them at last year’s Uproar Festival? If not, check it out h ere:

Also make sure you have their latest CD, “A Bad Girl in Harlem” which will have your energy flowing within seconds! You can get it here on Itunes.  Definitely on replay at our house.
