Rage Against The Machine, Cypress Hill & Public Enemy Supergroup

So Rage Against The Machine recently peaked everyone’s interest by launching a website called http://prophetsofrage.com/ getting people excited about the possible return of the awesome band that have not played together since 2011.

However it now appears that this is not the case but we are seeing the forming of some kind of super group including three of the four memebers of RATM Guitarist Tom Morello (RATM), Bassist Tim Commerford and Drummer Brad Wilk taking up vocal duties in the absence of Zack de la Rocha are Chuck D from Public Enemy and B-Real of Cypress Hill and the group will be called Prophets Of Rage.

The name of the group is taken from a Public Enemy song of the same name and it appears that the group will be covering songs from all three groups when they play there first show on the 3rd of June at the Hollywood Palladium and a follow up show has been planned at Whiskey a Go Go and there may be a possibility of a Summer 2016 tour.

So we will have to wait and see if the group release any recorded material before the count down has finished or if we will have to wait until after the first show. I will be looking forward to hearing the material once it has been released to see if it feels the same without Zack leading the line.

Interview With ‘The Spins’

So I approached The Spins about conducting an interview for the site and they were more than happy to oblige. The band are a Pop Rock band from Roquebrune Cap-Martin, France and consist of Alessia Mattalia (drums) Mai Agan (bass) Marcello Giordano (keyboards, backing vocals) Ludovic Briand (guitar, lead vocals). So lets see what the band have to say in the interview below.

---

How did the band form?

Marcello: “In 2010, soon after the release of Jeff Beck’s Hammerhead, Alessia and I began to collaborate with a London based producer, who was trying to build an international project aiming to chart in the UK. For a number of reasons the project didn’t move forward, but we had the opportunity to meet Estonian bassist Mai Agan, no joke one of the best female bassist worldwide. So, when Alessia and I decided to resume the project, Mai has obviously been our first choice. Then last summer we had the chance to see Ludovic playing live at the port of Montecarlo with his Tribute to Toto. Not only his technical abilities and his own style in playing guitar but also his voice convinced us he was our man. After 4 months of pre-production made via e-mail we decided we had enough material for an EP. So we booked two weeks in Manchester at Vibe Studios and began the sessions while making a deep search to find a great female vocalist in town. During the recording sessions the resident producer Dean Glover suggested we could try with a very young but very talented female vocalist called Amy Danielle. We did it and now she’s The Spins’ lead vocalist.”

How would you describe your musical style?

Alessia: “Something in the middle of modern electronic pop and classic rock.

Your new EP is due out on the 28^th of June what can we expect from the new EP? Marcello: “I’d say a concept song (Hole In The Ground, a song about a girl who could be the insane daughter of The Beatles’ infamous serial killer Maxwell), 3 wannabe chartbreakers and the title-track, that I started from the (very psychedelic) lyrics I wrote on a sleepness night and that represents our attempt to write music without thinking to charts, sounds, beats a-la-modeand so on. That’s the music as we feel it should be”

A question to Alessia – What was it like working with Jeff Beck?

Alessia: “It’s been like working with a myth who revealed to be not just an incredible musician but a passionate lover of music and a very kind man, who succeeded in making me feeling absolutely comfortable from the very beginning of the recording sessions even if I was playing with a piece of music history.”

Who would you say is the biggest musical influence on the band?

Marcello: “There is not just one musical influence. Mai comes from jazz, if you listen to the works of her modern jazz-fusion band MaiGroup you would understand how she seems to be distant from my background made of classical music, The Beatles and The Who and Alessia’s one, a deep connoisseur of the 80’s and whose drumming style has been built following the traces of Terry Bozzio, Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips and so on. I can say we have several musical influences that we try to mix and build our own unique sound.”

If you could have one guest musician to do a song with alive or dead who would it be and why?

Marcello: “Dead Freddy Mercury, alive Paul McCartney.”

Do you have any tours lined up this year?

Marcello: “Yes, summer and early Autumn will be dedicated to an intensive UK tour.”

Tell our readers a fun fact about the band that they may not know?

Alessia: “One night we decided to go downtown for dinner, so we decided to eat in a kebab restaurant. After having ordered our meals, Mai and I decided to go to the toilet. When we got there I realized that there was no possibility to close the door, so I asked Marcello to come and stay in front of it until we had finished, and when he reached us he immediately burst out laughing as he realized that there was no lock at the door because the doorknob has been used to substitute the push button of the flush! Absolutely crazy.”

Can you give are music savvy readers some information on what equipment the band uses?

Marcello: “Alessia’s Liberty Drums kit is made of two snares (8” and 14”), two hi-hats (one per side), 22” bass drum, four toms, one gong tom, an Axis X double pedal and UFIP cymbals. Mai uses an american Fender Jazz bass, Ludovic uses a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, an Ernie Ball Music Man LIII electric guitar and a Cort Grand Regal acoustic guitar. I have a studio configuration (Korg M5 88 keys, an Acer laptop equipped with Windows 10, Studio One 3 Pro and a huge list of VST synths and FX) and a live one, which includes a Kawai MP9000 stage piano, a Clavia Nord C2, an Arturia MatrixBrute and a M-Audio 88 keys master keyboard connected to my laptop.”

Finally what advice would you give any up and coming musicians?

Alessia: “Difficult to say. Work with humility, keep on studying to improve your skills, never be so conceited not to accept an advice from a fellow colleague and pray that someday you will have the chance to be in the right place at the right time.”

Stu’s Track Of The Week 18/05/16

So this weeks track of the week we revisit Rancid’s album And Out Come The Wolves and the track Maxwell Murder at 1 minute 25 seconds it’s a fast paced track and the reason I chose this track was for the bass solo by Matt Freeman. Being a bass player myself this is the sort of playing level I would love to aspire to every song that he plays on you can just feel the energy of his playing style. He is a an extremely solid and energetic bass player and every thing he plays just seems effortless.

The album itself is a classic in my eyes and definitely one of Rancid’s best albums to date so if you have a spare minute and a half crank up the volume and go mental no matter where you are.

Check back next week for my next track of the week only at skatronixxx.com

Sheep Among Wolves/CROWN Split EP Release

So I was approached by Rob from Hidden Home Records about doing a release on his band Sheep Among Wolves split EP with UK hardcore band CROWN and was only happy to oblige with his request.

---

This project has been in the works for over a year between the two bands and will be a joint release from Hidden Home Records and Local Colour Records and will be release to the general public on the 29th of May. I have been lucky enough to have given it a listen already and like what I have heard so far we have Sheep Among Wolves who are an Indie/Punk band and CROWN who are a Hardcore band so it’s a nice contrast in musical styles.

Eurovision’s 2016 Grand Final

This years Eurovision theme is come together which couldn’t have been more appropriate this year with Australia being allowed to gate crash along with America and for the first time Eurovision was broadcast to China. The first Eurovision in 1956 was to unify a continent with music which was torn by war and with whats been happening around the world of late this years Eurovision theme Come Together could be more important. But for me this year seemed to be lacking of all the things that used to make Eurovision great and cringe worthy at the same time, it’s used to be like a crash that you couldn’t look away from but this year seemed to be very main stream and coolishly hip.

So there a few stand outs including Belgium’s Laura Tesoro who kicked off Eurovision 2016 with a very catchy number ‘What’s The Pressure’ with an extremely contagious beat. Also The Netherlands were a stand out with ‘Slow Down’ sung by Douwe Bob he had a great voice and their sound was like a fusion of folk meets country the only thing I didn’t get was the 10 seconds of Silence near the end. The other stand out was Russia with ‘You Are The Only One’ performed by Sergey Lazarev, the stage graphics he had were amazing the song was great, definitely see why he was the favorite to win he nailed. The other two stand outs for me were Australia’s Dami Im performing ‘The Sound Of Silence’ she did an amazing job, he voice was on point along with that dress, she nailed it and has done Australia proud, and UK’s Joe and Jake who performed ‘You’re Not Alone’ and I thought they did a great job and I would definitely buy that song.

United Kingdom’s Joe & Jake

Ok so there were a few not so stands outs for me and please remember theses are my opinions, so we got so see a little bit of the eighties hair with Hovi Star who preformed ‘Made Of Stars’ it was a little lacklustre, also Sweden’s own Frans for me was very lacking in every way it was as if he was doing his first open mic night, I actually had expected a lot more from Sweden and was very disappointed. Georgia’s Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz preformed ‘Midnight Gold’ the song itself was ok but the lighting and stage graphics made me motion sick and it was just too much overkill on the lighting, and last but not lest Croatia entry Nina Kraljić who preformed ‘Lighthouse’ her costume was elaborate and full of bling but for me her vocals were lacking.

For me the highlight was Justin Timberlake performing his new song ‘Can’t Stop This Feeling’ which is for the up coming Trolls movie, he absolutely killed it and it was the first time he has preformed live in two years, if that song didn’t get you out of your chair or at lest you’re toes tapping then there is something very wrong! JT nailed it and the crowd loved it. Also a special mention to the hosts Måns Zelmerlöw and Petra Mede who were awesome, congratulations to Ukraine although I thought Russia was the best overall but they made it to top three with Australia second so congratulations on the gallant effort. Eurovision 2017 will be held in Ukraine with the Semi-final 1 to be on the 16th May 2017, Semi-final 2 held on the 18th May 2017 and Grand Final to be held on the 20th May 2017. I am looking forward to covering Eurovision 2017 and lets hope there is more of the cringe worthiness we have come to know and love.

These are my opinions and my opinions alone

Eurovision 2016 Semi-Final Results

Yes it’s that time of the year when big hair, bad make up and tacky dance moves are celebrated, Eurovision 2016 is upon us once again and for those of you not familiar with this Wonderland that is Eurovision then you have been missing out! What is Eurovision you ask? Well it is a song contest that is held every year primarily among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Each participating country submits an original song to be preformed on live television and radio, then casts votes for the other countries’ songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. In 2015 an exception was made when Australia was allowed to compete as a guest entrant as part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the event, our own Guy Sebastian was picked to represent Australia and in November 2015 the EBU announced that Australia would return to Eurovision in 2016 and this year Dami Im will representing Australia. This year’s Eurovision will take place in the Globe Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.

Interview With Pop Punk Band ‘Wicked Bears’

So it’s time for another band interview and it’s the turn of 3 piece Salt Lake City Pop Punk Band Wicked Bears so without further ado lets jump right into the interview.

---

1. How did the band form?

Casey (bass): We’ve been friends for a long time, thanks to playing in other bands and having mutual friends.I saw Nick (guitar) listening to Masked Intruder on Spotify one day during work, and I was also listening to Masked Intruder. So I texted him about it, and that was the beginning. Nick texted Ken (drums) about it, and we rehearsed a week or so later.  It’s a pretty boring story, but if there were a cooler story to tell we’d definitely use that one

2. How would you describe your musical style?

Fast, melodic, and easy to grab a hold of. We try to play pop punk that we’d like if we were sitting in the back of your car hanging out. But if we’re sitting in your car, maybe musical style isn’t your biggest concern right now. How did these three grown men get into your car?

3. You have released your new 6 track EP can you tell us a little bit about the recording process?

We gave ourselves a time limit. We didn’t want to spend a lot of money because money is hard to come by sometimes, so we said we’d give ourselves one weekend to record our six songs. We had them about 95% written at that point, so we didn’t need to worry about coming up with more than backing vocals in the studio. We got all the tracking done on a Saturday and Sunday. After that, the mixing and mastering took about a week, and as soon as we had the tracks ready, we put them up on Bandcamp.

4. What shows do you have lined up to promote the new EP

We’re playing with Red City Radio on May 18th! It’s at a new venue in Salt Lake City called the Beehive Social Club. Our friends from here in Utah, Uncle Dirt, are playing as well.

5. Who would you say is the biggest musical influence on the band?

We all grew up playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater, and that’s one space that gave us common ground as musicians and friends. Killer tunes and sick combos are what we grew up on. Also, Nick really loves Bowling for Soup, so if you hear some of that in there, it’s his fault.

6. How did you come to be signed to Hidden home records?

As soon as we had our tracks ready, we put them on Bandcamp and told all our friends. We’ve only been around for about eight months, so the reception we received was unexpected. Word spread of the record, and our friend Rob at Hidden Home sent over a message on facebook, to see if we wanted to work with him. We’ve known Rob a long time now, so the relationship escalated pretty quickly. Hidden Home has been an inspiration, and a great help to us.

7. Do you have any plans to come over and tour in the UK?

No! Not because we don’t want to, but because we’re in Salt Lake City, Utah, and that’s 7200 km away (4500 miles, for the unrefined). Our only option is a long distance relationship for now. Which can sometimes be ideal. We get to hang out with our friends on the weekend, you don’t have to worry about our schedule, we can watch american football, you can watch actual football; it will make our eventual union very sweet.

8. Tell our readers a fun fact about the band that they may not know?

Ken owns a DVD on ska and raggae drumming called Wicked Beats . He was texting about it, and when referring to the DVD, accidentally typed Wicked Bears. When his phone exploded immediately afterward, he knew he was on to something special.

9. Can you give our music savvy readers some information on what equipment the band uses?

Ken plays a DW collectors kit, a Sonar snare, and Zildjian K series cymbals.  Nick plays a Reverend Buckshot with a Vox AC30 amp. Casey plays a homemade bass with a Fender ‘58 split pickup, with an Ampeg SVT-3 amp head and an Ampeg 410 cab.

10. Finally what advice would you give any up and coming musicians?

Set goals! Decide when you want things to happen, then do your best to make it happen. This whole record is a product of us deciding what we want to do, when we want it done by, and then executing on that timeline.
