Ballyhoo! – Detonate

If you’re in my circle of friends, you no doubt know that Ballyhoo! is one of my favorite bands. I discovered their music back in 2011 when they were on the road with New Politics and Dirty Heads and fell in love with the CD-R they threw into the audience which I managed to catch.

This band has come a long way – their first album 365-Day Weekend was a fun, but very obvious, Green Day ripoff. As time went on, they released several more albums and found their own sound which blends their influences with an original and unique beach-inspired sound.

“Detonate” is the title track and lead single from their seventh album, which is out today, September 28th, 2018. You can pick it up from any of your favorite sources!

 

VIKINGO! – Set It on Fire

LA rock band VIKINGO! have dropped a new song, “Set It on Fire”, which delivers a punch of 90s rock with solid harmonies. Towards the end of the song, there is a guitar lead that sounds like Tom Morello himself was part of the process, though that is not the case. If you’re looking for a kickass song with high energy, this is it!

Crash the Calm – Bad Habits

Based on Long Island, NY, Crash the Calm submitted their song “Bad Habits”. The song is off of their split EP with Staleworth, a fellow Long Island band.

You can pay what you want for the EP on Bandcamp, or find it on streaming platforms, iTunes, etc.

ASTRINA – Mind Heart Body

Though “Mind Heart Body” by ASTRINA is not the typical sound I share here on RMP, I felt I should. When it came through my queue on Submithub (which is where any artist is welcome to submit their music to us!), something about the production and writing really caught my ear.

The song has a subtle yet driving beat that forges forward through the melancholy words. I think the song is a breath of fresh air in an oversaturated genre.

The Memoirs – Fear On The Rise

The Memoirs are an Alt-rock band from Nottingham! So great to be sharing another song from them, this song is called “Fear On The Rise” and you’re going to love it as much as I do!

Beartooth – Disease

If you aren’t familiar with this band then you need to tune in! Beartooth is a Metalcore band from Columbus, Ohio. They recently came out with a song called “Disease” and it’s killer! 

Holo – Someone I’d Rather Be

Based in the City of Angels, Holo is an indie-punk trio consisting of Kelly Collins (drums, vocals), Cooper Kanew (guitar, vocals), and Mason Segal (bass, vocals). The band gigs extensively throughout Los Angeles and the surrounding communities in Southern California. 

Mindblind – Da Schenste

Austrian pop punk band Mindblind have released a video for “Da Schenste”, the lead single from their upcoming EP Gegenwindschiffen. Due out on October 5th, the EP is the third release from the band following an EP and an LP. Check out the video below and learn more about the band on their website!

Relative Ways – This World

Aussie indie-grunge band Relative Ways released their debut album Alaska on August 10th of this year. The first single from the album, “This World”, is a slow song with amazing production and a solid, full but roomy sound. If you’re into bands like Violent Soho or others reviving grunge in the land down under, you’ll like Relative Ways. Listen to “This World” below and check out Alaska on Spotify.

HAVVK – Glass

HAVVK are an amazing alternative band from London and are sharing with us again! We’re in for a treat because here is their new single called “Glass”! What I personally love most about the band is the uniqueness and the beautiful vocals.
