Latin Metal legends “Ill Niño” Announces “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March


Latin Metal legends “15 Years Of Revolution” UK tour this March
ill_nino_2016
Ill Niño brings the celebrations to the UK this March, marking the 15th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘Revolution Revolución’, by playing the classic in its entirety, alongside other fan favourites from the band’s extensive catalogue.
Drummer Dave Chavarri says, “It’s amazing that it’s been 15 Years, since the release of our debut Revolution….Revolución. It’s been a wild ride, with lots of great memories, toured the globe with some amazing bands, that are now our tour family, and we’ve made many friends along the way. I can’t say that it hasn’t been with our share of trying times. But this East Coast Latino Crew, is still here rocking, doing it our way, and not taking anyone’s bulls**t! To many more years of Revolution.”
Reigning from New Jersey/New York, Ill Niño are a force to be reckoned with. ‘Revolution Revolucion’ marked what was the beginning for these founding fathers of Latin Metal. The band continues strong 15 years later and show no signs of letting up as they bring their “15 Years Of Revolution” tour to the UK this March following extensive touring across Europe, U.S., Australia, UK, South America, Japan, and China.
There’s no doubt… Ill Niño have cemented themselves as one of the best, must see live metal bands.
With 1.3 million worldwide albums sales under their belts and still going strong, their breed of metal to the masses resonates with longterm and new fans. Not following the typical flavour of the day musical trends, and sticking to their guns, is what makes Ill Niño one of the most prolific Latin Metal bands of all time.
“15 Years Of Revolution” Ill Niño UK Tour
23rd March Norwich, Waterfront
24th March Manchester, Academy 3
25th March Glasgow, Classic Grand
26th March Bristol, Fleece
28th March London, Islington Academy
29th March Southampton, Talking Heads

THE BOUNCING SOULS ANNOUNCE UK SHOWS & 10TH STUDIO ALBUM SIMPLICITY OUT NOW VIA RISE RECORDS


unnamed.jpgBouncing Souls have announced UK shows this June.

Bio:
The Bouncing Souls are something of a punk rock institution. The band have been consistently churning out their beloved brand of anthemic punk since 1989, and have earned an intensely loyal fanbase with tireless touring and an unrelenting love of making music. As the band approached the creation of their tenth full length, they sought to make a record that captured the spirit of their earlier work, while incorporating who they are today. That record is Simplicity and its 13 tracks of undeniably infectious punk rock prove that The Bouncing Souls have a lot more to say.

In making Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls set out to write songs that, first and foremost, would translate into the live environment. With over 20 years worth of anthems under their collective belt, it’s a challenge to write a setlist that incorporates newer material, but Simplicity‘s many standouts are more than up to the task. Next, the band enlisted the help of producer John Seymour, who manned the mixing boards for their fan favorite LPs How I Spent My Summer Vacation and Anchors Aweigh, to record the album with all of the raw energy of the live performance. The production of Simplicity perfectly embodies the band’s bite and power, the driving guitars, prominent bass, rock-solid drums, and soaring vocals all cutting through with no unneeded studio shine. From speedy hardcore-influenced ragers, to comparatively tender punk ballads, Simplicity‘s dynamics show every side of The Bouncing Souls.

On Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls do what so few long-running bands are able to accomplish: they utilize all of the skills and lessons that come from over 20 years of making music, while still capturing the reckless spontaneity of their past work. That delicate balance can only be found if there’s a sincerity in the songs that comes from genuine love of playing music together, and The Bouncing Souls have that in spades.

The band released new album ‘Simplicity’ in the summer 2016 via Rise Records. This was the bands first album since 2012 and first with new drummer George Rebelo of Hot Water Music.

TEXTURES – official guitar playthrough video by Joe Tal launched!


It’s exactly one year since the release of TEXTURES‘ fifth studio album »Phenotype«. The record was released via Nuclear Blast Records on February 2016 and was acclaimed worldwide as one of the best progressive metal releases of that year. The band celebrates the 1st anniversary of this album by releasing a guitar playthrough video for the song ‘Shaping A Single Grain Of Sand’ made by guitarist Joe Tal. Watch it here:

Joe Tal states: “It’s been a long while since we released a guitar playthrough video, it’s about time! To me this song represents the essence of the music of TEXTURES; poly-rhythms, groove, a big epic chorus, tempo changes and Thrash metal style riffs. It’s all there! Big thanks to fine people at Ibanez guitars.”

In addition, the band recently announced their Europe tour in April 2017. Catch TEXTURES live:
