Authority Zero
Authority Zero has never been called “negative.” Even during a pandemic, they kept their collective chin up, put their heads down and wrote what could be called their career album. Released in June 2021, Authority Zero’s album “Ollie Ollie Oxen Free” takes a line from hide and seek to encourage fans to leave the COVID-19 depression behind and celebrate life. During the pandemic, singer Jason DeVore saw families torn apart by political views and COVID-19. Now that the divide has somewhat subsided, it’s time to come out and be yourself again. “The phrasing in the title track stems from the idea of ‘come out, come out, wherever you are,’” says DeVore, who co-writes with bassist Michael Spero. “It encourages a focus on the positive side of 2020, while still maintaining awareness of the hardships and detriment of it all. People have been trapped within themselves, depressed inside of their houses and otherwise. We’ve been separated both politically and mentally between the left and right, which is very apparent. It’s a focus of come out, feel free and feel a sense of confidence to live with an unheavy heart and mind again.” The title track rattles those cages with DeVore’s encouraging lyrics, the frenetic blur of Christopher Dalley’s urgent drumming and Spero’s bass, coupled with guitar licks true to the playing style of returning guitarist Brandon Landelius. With its updated sound, “Ollie Ollie Oxen Free” fits in with Authority Zero’s catalog, DeVore says. “It’s more of the times of 2020,” he says. “We really tried to focus more on the positive side of things that came from the pandemic, rather than the negative that came out of it. “We inflect lyrics and music in an uplifting manner. We wanted to shine a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Spiritworld
With Helldorado, the third installment of SPIRITWORLD’s death-western trifecta, chief hombre Stu Folsom takes the listener deeper into a world where the hot desert sun beats down on his singular vision of the American West as a gateway to hell. “It’s a different album than the past two,” says Folsom of the thematic and sonic journey that began with the Las Vegas band’s 2020’s Pagan Rhythms LP and continued with 2022’s Deathwestern. Now the story rides on in a cloud of dust and a spray of blood with his latest offering. Helldorado blasts the Mojave-born bloodlust and stomping, tomahawk riffs SPIRITWORLD won their brutal, horrific vision of the Old West with, while riding straight into macabre Americana. Helldorado not only tightens the reins on SPIRITWORLD’s riff-riding attack that has won the band “most played” stature at Sirius XM’s Liquid Metal, but also looks over its shoulder—cigarillo dangling from a sun-parched lip—at their punk-driven outlaw country origins. Folsom and his gang first assaulted Vegas Elks Lodges in 2017 on a mission to brand country music with a manic singalong energy cultivated over years in the local hardcore scene. “Dwight Yoakam probably meant as much to me growing up as Black Flag or Slayer did,” says Stu. With country in his soul and metal in his veins, Folsom yearned for the power of the riff. This found him teaming with producer/mixer Sam Pura, who has produced all three SPIRITWORLD records, to unleash Pagan Rhythms, first on the tiny independent label Safe Inside Records. The buzzed-about debut caught the eye of Century Media Records, who signed the band and issued the album worldwide a year later. The reaction to the record, which drew comparisons to the likes of Slayer and Integrity, was overwhelming. It was the purity of Folsom’s vision that won raves from the likes of Gary Holt and Max Cavalera of Soulfly, who praised the band on social media. Helldorado is the next chapter of Folsom’s cycle of Western weirdness, drawing inspiration from his own published literary work, Godlessness, a collection of short stories rooted in Lovecraftian horror and Louis L’Amour’s classic tales of the American West. “Stigmata Scars,” featuring additional guitar work by Frédéric Leclercq of Kreator, digs even deeper into SPIRITWORLD’s horrific lyrical vistas. SPIRITWORLD live is where the rubber meets the road for Stu Folsom and crew. Taking the stage in embroidered, rhinestone-studded jackets and Stetson hats, the energized fivesome is literally Elvis’ Wrecking Crew from hell. From their inaugural stint on Decibel Magazine’s branded tour with Obituary and Municipal Waste in early 2022, to North American runs including a co-headline tour with metal legends Kreator and Sepultura, as well as hardcore heroes Stick to Your Guns and European festival appearances at the UK’s Bloodstock Open Air and France’s Hellfest, the band has built a formidable live reputation. “The mentality on some of these tours is literally ripping a page from Ramones or Against Me!—don’t stop, no stage banter, just rip your songs.” One thing’s for sure: SPIRITWORLD is back with an album that is as much Sergio Leone as it is Slayer. When asked to sum up where it’s all going, Stu Folsom steps back, considers the question, and answers plainly: “Straight to hell, my friend. Straight to hell.”
sunn O)))
For nearly 30 years, SUNN O))) – Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson – have pushed the boundaries of heavy music,straddling the worlds of the avant-garde and rock to forge a style instantly recognisable as their own.Now, SUNN O))) return with their first album of new material since 2019’s acclaimed Pyroclasts. Their tenth album –their debut for new label Sub Pop – demonstrates the duo’s mastery of time and space, light and dark, and theirwillingness to evolve their unmistakable sound into bold new forms.The eponymously titled SUNN O))) was tracked at Bear Creek Studios, Woodinville, Washington with Brad Wood(HuM, Tar, Sunny Day Real Estate, Liz Phair). This location would prove crucial to the recording process.“The vast tracking room had big windows looking out on trees,” says O’Malley. “We could go hiking and be out in thewoods, spend time outdoors. That became a big part of it.”“It was very inviting and very comfortable there,” adds Anderson. “There was no stress, no worry about the timelineor anything like that. We just let ourselves go, and let the music come out.”“On this album for the first time all of the instrumentation was performed by Greg and I,” says O’Malley. “All of therecords have our leadership and direction, of course, but this time around, it was almost like this crucible of ideas thatwas really at the core of what we’ve been doing.”Recording exclusively as a duo should not be interpreted as SUNN O))) limiting or restricting themselves. To thecontrary, it has opened up new possibilities for their music.The six compositions on SUNN O))) are expansive and panoramic yet finely detailed, reflecting the arboreal setting inwhich they were recorded. Opener “XXANN” enters with howling feedback before crunching into what might at firstseem familiar territory – until one registers the sound of water trickling beneath. “Mindrolling” likewise incorporatesfield recordings, as does “Glory Black”, which in addition introduces piano, by turns sonorous and delicate, into themix, lending the already formidable piece a hushed, solemn feel. The Newcastle-forged originators of black metal geta shout out in the title of “Does Anyone Hear Like Venom?” which seems to position Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon asdeep listeners, attuned to their Tyneside surroundings in much the same way as SUNN O))) are to the forest enfoldingBear Creek Studios. Throughout the album, the interplay between O’Malley and Anderson attains fresh heights oftelepathic intensity as they shape a music that itself breathes the bracing, earthy air of the Pacific Northwest.In October 2025 SUNN O))) released the first fruit of a new deal with celebrated US label Sub Pop in the form of a maxi12” featuring “Eternity’s Pillars”, “Raise The Chalice” and “Reverential” – three monumental tracks from the samesessions that produced the new album. The alliance with Sub Pop makes perfect sense, as Anderson explains.“We decided that we should approach Sub Pop, after I’d had some great conversations with Jonathan Poneman,” hesays. “So I called him up and before I could get the words out of my mouth, he said, ‘We’d love to do it. Tell me whatyou guys need.’ He was really excited and supportive.”All of which adds up to a fully immersive experience, uniting sound, word and visual into something that is undeniably,completely SUNN O)))
Subhumans
Subhumans are one of the most influential bands from the UK Anarcho-Punk scene of the 80’s, filed right alongside Crass and Conflict, and just as relevant today as they were during the darkest days of Thatcher’s Britain. Take your choice in how to label them – Punk, UK82, Crusty, etc, – there lies the attraction and consequent reason for their popularity, the band epitomizes non-conformity and connects with people in many different scenes. Forming in 1980, recording and releasing a series of live and demo cassette tapes on their own Bluurg label, they continued to release music throughout the 80’s – building a powerhouse of a back catalog that completely stands the test of time. Their debut LP ‘The Day the Country Died’ (1983), with its Orwellian influence, is considered by many to be a classic and has sold in excess of 100,000 copies. The second album, ‘From the Cradle to the Grave’, came swiftly the following year (1984), and although the same frenetic pace is in evidence, this marks a significant musical development for the band. In 1985 Subhumans broke up, citing the usual musical differences, although they had managed to release a third, maybe ironically entitled, LP ‘Worlds Apart.’ A final EP was released posthumously in 1986, ‘29:29 Split Vision,’ a further demonstration of how far the band had come musically from their initial leanings. Dick Lucas subsequently joined Culture Shock and then formed political ska-punk band Citizen Fish in 1990, both bands releasing many albums, and still playing today. Subhumans had a couple of reunion shows in the nineties, before a more permanent return for the 21st century, including 2 major tours of the US, the first resulting in the ‘Live in a Dive’ LP. The Subhumans then released a further studio album in 2007, ‘Internal Riot,’ again on Bluurg Records. The band is still passionate and angry, illustrated by Dick saying “Being in a band is the source of most of my passion and drive! The live experience of sharing it with people keeps it ongoing, the release of anger, frustration and initially negative/destructive states of mind is a release from the downward spiral of keeping it all bottled up and it feels positive/constructive as a result.” The band have recently written ten new songs, which Pirates Press Records are thrilled to be releasing, and are embarking on a year of touring in both Europe and North America! First a split with The Restarts before a 12” of their own comes out in October of 2019! The social and political commentary of bands like Subhumans forged a path, along with their contemporaries, for punk to change lives and opinions around the world. Sadly the things they sang about forty years ago are largely just as important now, sometimes more so in an age of Trump and Brexit. We can’t wait to hear more of what they have to say about the current political climate, the immense imbalance of wealth and power, and the causes they hold near and dear to their hearts. — La Pobreska (ska/punk/hardcore from Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/lapobreska
Teenage Bottlerocket
They’ve toured the world countless times. They kept the leather jacket-and-Converse look alive through an increasingly neon landscape. They’ve written songs about KISS, Top Gun and Minecraft. Hell, they’ve even been on CNN a few times! Please welcome back to the spotlight Wyoming’s own…Teenage Bottlerocket! With more than 100 original songs already in their catalog, how does the band stay motivated when they’re eight records deep? “We’re always in competition with ourselves,” Carlisle explains. “The real competition is between me and Kody. It’s like, ‘You wrote a song that destroys everything else on this record. Let me try to do that to you real quick. How’s that feel?” And then he comes back and one ups me.“It’s all about the songs,” he continues. “The songs carry this record all the way. That’s not to say there are bad songs on our other records—we have a hard time releasing a shitty song. But these songs are especially great. You know ALL’s best-of record where Allroy is dissecting a musical note? I felt we kind of tapped into that record in a great way, not in a ‘Oh no, they’re experimental now!’ way. This is a Teenage Bottlerocket record through and through, but there’s a lot of hidden elements.” Carlisle’s pride about their latest album, Sick Sesh!, is obvious, but he’s not the only one who loves the album. “Fat Mike called me and said, ‘Hey, this is your best record,” Carlisle recalls. “I said, ‘Cool,thanks for noticing.’” Given that the band is already two decades old, however, is there any chance of the band slowing down? Carlisle shoots that idea down right away.“I want to have the best next 10 years,” the singer says. “We’ve grinded the grind. Now we get to actually enjoy being a band, and not think too much about different ways to try and ‘make it.’ We’re riding this wave we built ourselves. I wanna surf it for another 10 years.”Well there you have it: The three things in life you can always count on are death, taxes and Teenage Bottlerocket.
