Hollywood goth-punks The Deep Eynde debuted a brand-spankin’ new video today for a remixed version of “Love In Shadows (Emily Bronte Remix).” The remix and the original version both appear on the band’s last release, 2010’s “Spell Bound,” which was released on People Like You Records.

The video looks exactly like you’d think a “goth-punk” video might look (though I’m partial to the non-remixed version of the song myself). Check it out here. [Read more…]
It’s been a long time since we here at Dying Scene posted any Cobra Starship news. The New York-based pop act have been busy working on their still-publicly-untitled fourth studio album.

It’s been a long time since we here at Dying Scene posted any Cobra Starship news. The New York-based pop act have been busy working on their still-publicly-untitled fourth studio album. Today brings word that at least one track, entitled “Don’t Blame The World, It’s The DJ’s Fault,” has leaked.
To combat the efforts of music pirates everywhere, the band posted a homemade video for the track, and it features a headphone-donning eggplant getting turned into a plate of eggplant parmigiana. Apparently, this is a not-so-thinly veiled reference to the title of the new album. Anyway, watch the video and hear the new song right here.
Cobra Starship’s last album was 2009’s “Hot Mess.” Their newest album is due sometime this summer on Fueled By Ramen.

Every so often while doing punk music reviews, an album ends up in my lap that, while it may not be punk in terms of the classical definition, still manages to blow my mind. That’s exactly what happened with The Aggrolites‘s latest album, “Rugged Road.” I’ll admit that my knowledge of The Aggrolites is limited. […]
Every so often while doing punk music reviews, an album ends up in my lap that, while it may not be punk in terms of the classical definition, still manages to blow my mind. That’s exactly what happened with The Aggrolites‘s latest album, “Rugged Road.”
I’ll admit that my knowledge of The Aggrolites is limited. I only had a cursory listen to their last release, 2009’s “IV,” but never managed to listen to an entire album before now.
It’s certain that The Aggrolites are not The Sex Pistols reincarnated, but they have a certain punk rock ethic that will attract punk fans regardless. When it comes to music, The Aggrolites believe that simplicity and hard work are the names of the game. Recorded on reel-to-reel tape, “Rugged Road” feels like it may have been recorded in a previous time, yet manages to sound better than many overproduced, slick new recordings.
On “Rugged Road,” The Aggrolites have perfected their brand of dirty reggae. It is a rather mellow album- after all, seven out of the ten tracks are instrumental- but one that doesn’t drag on. “The Aggro Band Plays On” might as well be the band’s theme song- it’s catchy and upbeat, but showcases their dirty reggae and ska sound. It is a track with groove (and yes, that is an appropriate description of the track), that conjures images of people swaying and dancing in a relaxed and easy manner. It’s a song about good memories and great places, and with the repeated refrain of “And the Aggro band plays on,” you get the idea that more great things are to come.
While the album doesn’t exactly overwhelm the listener, it definitely seeps in to the listener’s consciousness, and one track can be stuck in your head for days after. It sneaks up on you, and has you dancing and grooving without even thinking about it. Tracks like “Complicated Girl” are so funky that you can’t help but to smile and sing along.
It certainly isn’t the most punk rock release out there, but “Rugged Road” has some serious balls. You just have to be willing to listen to the album several times to really grow to appreciate the funk, the groove, and the thoroughly enjoyable dirty reggae sound of The Aggrolites.
Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs.

Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs. Sometimes they pull off amazing interpretations of old classics, sometimes they’re not much more than humble tributes to a fellow artist, and other times they’re just downright laughable renditions of otherwise great songs. Good or bad. Intriguing or mundane. We’ll let you be the judge. Today we have Bowling For Soup taking on the 80’s classic, “I Ran” by A Flock Of Seagulls.
Check out the cover and compare it to the original here. What the Bowling For Soup version lacks in bad music videos and 80’s hairstyles, it compensates with catchy guitar licks and enthusiasm! The Bowling For Soup version can be found on their 2002 album “Drunk Enough To Dance,” while the A Flock of Seagulls original can be found on their 1982 self-titled album.
