Pil & Bue-Shadowcasters

 

 

Pil & Bue is a two-piece, consisting of Petter Carlsen (the arrow) and Goeran Johansen (the bow).

...a two-piece vastly more than the sum of their parts, their deeply invested fusion of metal and pop-bordering melodic dynamics is given emotional rocketfuel by Petter Carlsen's unrestrained vocals. Sia fronting Gojira is an approximation, but the result is exhilarating and uncontrived, and resonates on every level"- Jonathan Selzer, Metal Hammer UK .

With subtle, but pronounced references to artists like Metallica, Radiohead, A Perfect Circle, Anathema and Mars Volta, Pil & Bue delivers “Hard, gloomy & joyful music...” Metal Hammer NO

Blonde Rose-Spirits Of The Sun

 

So we head back to Norway this week, seems the guys in Blonde Rose are creating a bit of buzz with their regular retro rock releases. I think it was only about 4 weeks ago, we had the single "Rock N Roll Endeavour", which was very well received. It`s now the turn of "Spirit Of The Sun" that the band have released this week, another quality tune, with their 70`s rock n roll stamp. I also had a former A&R guy for Earache Records, making enquiries about the band about a week ago. So maybe bigger things are in the works for Blonde Rose, I guess it`s a watch this space moment. It`s always nice to hear that some bands are reaching a wider audience with each release, which is what we all do it for!!

Taming Sari

 

Taming Sari has released a brand new single and video, “Tea & Honey”, a teasing love song about the kind of girl who keeps you guessing - playful, sharp, and a little mischievous, yet impossible to resist. Tea & Honey is produced and recorded by Ross Hayes Citrullo (The Commoners), two-time JUNO Award nominee. True to the song’s theme, the instrumentation keeps the listener guessing with unexpected twists and turns. The accompanying music video is produced by up and coming Ottawa producer/videographer Sebastian Ribeiro. The video tells a humorous story of frontman Warren Meredith waking up and realizing his bandmates, who have moved on to different professions, do not remember they were part of the band. Watch along for a surprise twist once they’re all reunited!

Taming Sari has been rocking the Canadian music scene since 2017 by delivering catchy tunes and captivating live shows. Their 2021 single “Crazy” featured at #35 on the Canadian Active Rock Charts and was streamed over 200,000 times on Spotify. After receiving OAC funding for two full-length albums, as well as opening for esteemed acts such as JJ Wilde and The Lazys, the band is hungry to continue building on its success.

Seven Year Witch on JAM 66 Radio

 

Seven Year Witch is planet earth’s last rock n’ roll band.

Since 2013, 7YW has been relentlessly touring nationally and internationally in order to spread their dangerous rock’n’roll ideology.

In 2018 alone, the band has shared the stage with the likes of BuckCherry, Pop Evil, The Gin Blossoms, and WWE’s Jeff Hardy, all while making as many extracurricular appearances as possible – including a performance on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. The band has proudly appeared at some of South Carolina’s most notable festivals, including Fall For Greenville & Spittoono. Conquering 100+ shows a year, Seven Year Witch refuses to slow down.

While the band will claim their music is simply “rock n’ roll as it was meant to be played”, nailing down any sort of sub-genre with the group is nothing short of difficult. Their debut album “Songs Our Mothers Love” (available on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, and more) blurs the lines between blues, punk, garage rock, and 70’s rock n’ roll.

Brothers Seth and Spencer Burden, drive the rhythm section of the band. Vocalist Aaron Langford truly sets the band apart with his unapologetic stage presence and classically trained voice. Guitarist Daniel Parker (recruited from Sylacauga, Alabama) provides the band with the punishing wall of sound that demands to be heard.

Boasting a loyal and ever growing Carolina following, their tameless stage presence along side a blues-punk persuasion leave them as a unmistakable force of their own. Seven Year Witch is a young, hungry, up and coming group of scoundrels hell bent on taking over the world, one crowd at a time.

Sundown Marathon

 

Formed in Liverpool in 2022, Sundown Marathon have been steadily making waves in the underground music scene, delivering their electrifying fusion of alternative, indie, and pop rock to audiences across the North West and beyond. Drawing sonic inspiration from the likes of Inhaler, Nothing But Thieves, and Biffy Clyro, the band have carved out a dynamic and distinctive sound, marked by soaring vocals, punchy guitar hooks, and undeniable live energy.

2025 has been a milestone year for Sundown Marathon. Their latest single, “Better About You Now”, released to growing acclaim, showcases the band’s evolving artistry and knack for infectious, emotionally charged songwriting. In Ma, they took to the stage at the Big Condo Records Weekender — a standout performance that caught the attention of the label. Just a few months later, in September 2025, the band officially signed with Big Condo Records, setting the stage for their next chapter.

Reviewing their May performance, Rock Flesh writer Jo Crosby noted:

“Sundown Marathon came on in fairly unassuming manner and proceeded to pretty much blow our socks off… they have amazing energy, the songs literally fizz with enthusiasm, and the whole room was suddenly jumping up and down a little more than they expected.”

From gritty club gigs to breakout festival appearances, Sundown Marathon continue to build momentum with every show. With a growing fanbase, an exciting new label partnership, and more music on the horizon, this is a band poised for big things.

Karl Vrålstad

 

I am a independent singer songwriter, guitarist from Norway. I am a known artist in the local community in Sandvika a small town outside Oslo Norway. I have concerts in Norway and abroad, sometimes with a band, usually I perform by myself. I sing my own songs and cover songs and likes to operate in genres such as Country, Folk, Blues and Rock.

My first single recorded in studio

"Your Holy Ground " was released 2024 with great success, resulting air playing around the world and it also won the 9th Ldm Music Awards, Country genre. 

 

December 2024 I released my own Christmas song "Ringing for Christmas" resulting airplaying in Norway and in some countries in Europe and USA. 

My heart also lies in the blues/rock genre, so my last single "Lord's Blues" is ready to "hit the road", ready to be launched on all streaming services 3/10-25.

 

This song is recorded in various studios in Norway, with great musicians. 

"Lord's Blues" was written and produced in a way to retain an original feel and power that fits the message of this song, lyrically, visually and emotionally. The song is a tribute to the roots of the blues, while adding a "vintage" and rock touch with a personal expression with a melancholic undertone.

Brass Camel

 

 

New material from a brand new album, after just 8 months after the release of Camel their second album. Which was a very progtastic, venture that the band, felt they needed to get out of their system, only having 6 tracks track`s to be featured. This time the guys hooked up with early Rush producer Terry Brown and Kevin Comeau from Crown Lands, so not at all progtastic!! Of course the guys have a very 70`s funk style about their music and "Ice Cold" the new single is no exception. With a assuming Ice Hockey based video, which although the guys are from Canada, I believe not all the band had skating legs, despite the video footage.

Piper and the Hard Times.

 

 

This Nashville-based blues rock band has had an extraordinary run since winning the 2024 International Blues Challenge for Best Band, but they’ve just made history as the first band in forty years to clinch the "Blues Trifecta" taking home IBC wins for Best Band and best self-produced CD, along with the 2025 Blues Music Award for Best Emerging Artist Album.

With more than 5,200 engaged followers, their reach is passionate if not massive, and they bring both musical edge and genuine humanity to every interview.

Avalon Stone

 

Avalon Stone is a fierce new voice in rock, rising out of Kitchener, Ontario with a sound soaked in ‘90s grunge and sharpened by modern rock’s heavy punch. Her music is raw, emotional, and loud—built on heavy riffs, cutting vocals, and lyrics that don't flinch. Inspired by legends like Alice In Chains, and with a fresh intensity reminiscent of The Warning and Bad Omens, Stone carves a sound that’s unmistakably her own.

 

Her songs dive deep into the dark corners of the mind, turning struggle into catharsis with lines like *“Only I could drown while in a drought”* and *“Your throat hurts and my cheeks shine.”* Whether tearing through heavy alt-rock anthems or unraveling moments of raw vulnerability, Avalon’s voice carries the weight—and the hope—of someone who’s lived every word she sings.

 

Since stepping onto her first stage at 10 years old, Avalon has played over 300 shows across Ontario and the U.S., from gritty bars to major festivals. Whether she’s opening for The Goo Goo Dolls, Big Wreck, JJ Wilde, or The Beaches, Avalon commands the stage like she was born for it. Her live show feels like a full-body collision with something real—gritty, emotional, loud, and impossible to ignore. Backed by her powerhouse bandmates—Caleb Bourgeois (lead guitar), Dylan Burrett (live bass), Donovan McKinley (studio bass), and Tyler Shea (drums)—she brings an intensity that makes sure no one leaves the room unchanged.

 

Stone’s songs are soaked in emotion without ever losing their edge. Her upcoming debut EP captures this in full force—a blistering, emotionally charged collection produced by Juno Award-winner Kevin Dietz (Glorious Sons, Billy Talent). It's the first chapter of a bigger story—a sound forged in chaos and resilience, shaped by real connection, and built for those who live a little louder, love a little harder, and aren't afraid to face the darkness head-on.

 

This isn’t music for the faint of heart.  

This is your music.

Bunch of Ace

 

 

"Maybe Next Time" is an energetic pop-rock track that captures the push and pull between ambition and attraction. With driving rhythms, catchy guitar riffs, and a hook that sticks, the song tells the story of someone constantly on the move - juggling work, late nights, and creative pursuits - while love knocks at the door at just the wrong moments. There's charm and tension in the way the chorus delivers its punchy refrain: 'Maybe next time'. It's a song about missed chances, mixed signals, and holding your ground - told with wit, edge, and a touch of swagger.

'"Maybe Next Time" has a really fat sound and captures the feeling of how things you'd like to pursue come knocking at the door at exactly the wrong time.' says Bunch of Ace about their 3rd release in 2025.

Fueled by a synth-rock backbone, gritty vocals, and hard-hitting guitar lines, this track tears into the emotional wreckage of a relationship with zero apologies.

Heron

 

Following support from BBC Introducing, Radio X, and RTE Radio 1, "Paradigm" marks a bold return for UK artist HERON, whose genre-blending sound has drawn praise from Rolling Stone and SPIN for its originality and emotional punch.

"Paradigm" is a hook-driven, alt-pop anthem that balances infectious rhythm with reflective, human lyricism — making it equally at home on daytime radio or specialist shows. With its soaring melodies, crisp production, and a message of change and self-definition, the song invites listeners to reframe their outlook — just as HERON has done with his own career. A former Virgin-signed artist now operating independently, HERON writes, performs, and produces everything himself, bringing rare craft and conviction to the studio.

"Paradigm" has already resonated with tastemakers and early adopters. Now it’s time for wider airplay. This is one for fans of Beck, Phoenix, and The 1975.
