VISTA TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘ALLEGIANCE’ 5/19


Listen to the “Allegiance” preview

“Comparisons to bands like PVRIS and Paramore are likely inevitable but… VISTA are holding their own with ease and “Henchmen” is proof of that. The single is a big, anthemic, and energetic testament to what this band is capable of and we expect the potential to continue paying off as their name rises to the top; a beautiful view indeed.” – Substream

LONG ISLAND, NY | APRIL 28TH, 2017 – Coming off the release of their latest single “Henchmen,” VISTA continues to spread a message of unity with the announcement of the release of their upcoming single, “Allegiance,”on May 19th, 2017. Introducing listeners to a metaphorical black and blue color-schemed oasis, the band emits a powerful statement in the track, urging their audience to join their own allegiance. A continuation of their previous single, “Allegiance” highlights lead vocalist Hope Vista’s haunting vocals and her undeniable performance chemistry with guitarist and vocalist Greg Almeida. “Allegiance” will serve as the lead single off of their upcoming sophomore EP.

Coined one of Rock Sound’s “On The Radar” bands just months after their resurrection, VISTA was derived from the decade-long solo career of frontwoman Hope Vista. Rounded out with bold guitarist and vocalist Greg Almeida, the duo experiments with long-loved stadium influences to create and define a new, modern-day sub-genre in the alternative scene: anthem rock. VISTA most recently set out to write and record “Henchmen,” their first 2017 offering as a powerhouse single, written as an anthem for the oppressed. Since it’s release, the band has supported Fueled By Ramen artist Against The Current at Irving Plaza, been featured in 3 Alternative Press articles, sold out their first two headlining shows, and is in heavy rotation on idobi.

A Story Inspired taps Fit For A King’s Ryan Kirby for new single


A Story Inspired Release New Single Featuring Ryan Kirby from Fit For A King

Buffalo-based post-hardcore band A Story Inspired has released a new single from their forthcoming EP Overcome/Overthrow. The glitchy, synth-infused metal track “Weak Willed” originally premiered with Revolver Magazine and features Fit For A King‘s Ryan Kirby on guest vocals. The song is an ode to an issue that has impacted more than one member of the band.

This track is about drug overdose and self-harm,” says guitarist Ryan Ridley. “Within the past few years, many of the guys in ASI have had good friends and loved ones pass away due to drug overdose. The heartbreaking feeling of losing those close to you because of this isn’t one that is unfamiliar to us and I’m sure to many of our fans and friends, as well. This is to any of our friends struggling with drug addiction and self-harm.

Overcome/Overthrow was produced, mixed and mastered by Andrew Baylis (Nine Shrines, Fallen Captive). In addition to Kirby, the record also features a track with Memphis May Fire‘s Matty Mullins on guest vocals. It will be available this Friday (4/28) on all digital retailers.

PURSON FINAL LIVE SHOW + FAREWELL SINGLE


PURSON LONDON SHOW IN DECEMBER 2016 CONFIRMED AS FINAL LIVE FLOURISH FOR COLOURFUL UK ROCKERS

‘FAREWELL’ SINGLE SET FOR RELEASE VIA SPINEFARM RECORDS AS SONG-WRITER / SINGER / GUITARIST ROSALIE CUNNINGHAM PLANS NEXT MUSICAL MOVE…

 PURSON is officially no more…

After a career spanning five years, 2 studio albums, one EP, a number of singles and videos, plus live shows and festivals in both Europe and America, including a full US run guesting with Ghost, the acclaimed, award-winning, ever-flamboyant UK outfit have decided to call a halt to proceedings.

Says singer / guitarist Rosalie Cunningham, the creative force behind the project, providing the songs and the vision, and playing most of the instruments in the studio…

“The past five years have been an unforgettable whirlwind, for which I have to thank our wonderful fans around the world, the band and all the people who have contributed to Purson’s success over the years. Their support has been overwhelming, but the Purson framework has gone as far as it could go, and now it’s simply time to move on. I feel strongly drawn to a more DIY approach to my career in music, and look forward to the freedom to explore many avenues as a solo artist.”

As a way of going out with a (glam rock) bang, Spinefarm Records have  issued a farewell Purson single.

Titled ‘Chocolate Money’ and produced & mixed by Cunningham and John Mitchell (Steven Wilson, It Bites, etc.), the song features guest contributions from Jon Seagroatt (Comus) on saxophone and Vodun front-woman Chantelle Brown on backing vocals; featuring wickedly tongue in cheek lyrics taking in “cocoa casanova”, “raison d’etre cake” and more, it joyfully celebrates an era when bands like Slade & Wizard ruled the charts, Top Of The Pops was essential viewing and vinyl was king…

“‘Chocolate Money’ is a snapshot of the ostentatious decadence of the ’70s. The mythical rock star character with his double-entendre and self-centred hedonism. The industry has become a very different world since then, which is something I will expand on lyrically with my next album. It has inspired my desire to go back to basics and remember what music is supposed to be about.”

Listen to ‘Chocolate Money

‘Chocolate Money’ is a new recording and does not feature on the most recent Purson album, ‘Desire’s Magic Theatre’, released via Spinefarm Records in 2016. ‘D.M.T’ – inspired by the rock operas of the late sixties and early seventies – was issued to considerable acclaim from fans and critics alike, spawning the ‘Electric Landlady’ and ‘The Window Cleaner’ singles / videos, and touching on a variety of realms, including folk, prog, psychedelic, gothic & classic rock.

Cunningham described the album as: “A technicolour variety show, a playful display of the musical whims only briefly hinted at in our previous work; a psychedelic rock opera dedicated to our good friends Sarge Pepper and Zig Stardust.”
