DS Exclusive Interview: Nightlights talks new label, new album and going emo

If you’re unfamiliar with Florida natives Nightlights its time to lend an ear and get yourself acquainted.  Their blend of aggression, honesty, and old school punk rock has made one huge fan out of this writer and apparently I’m not the only one who’s taken notice.  I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with […]

If you’re unfamiliar with Florida natives Nightlights its time to lend an ear and get yourself acquainted.  Their blend of aggression, honesty, and old school punk rock has made one huge fan out of this writer and apparently I’m not the only one who’s taken notice.  I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with the band to discuss their recent signing to Eulogy Records, their upcoming full-length album and what the future holds for the band.

Check out the interview here.

New Music: “Lash Out” and “Not Our Fault” by Big D and The Kids Table

So I must admit, the headline shouldn’t say “new music”, as these tracks were released in the form of a Big D and The Kids Table Single back in August. However, it could say “newest music”, as we are still waiting on material or an update from the band about their newest expected album, The […]

So I must admit, the headline shouldn’t say “new music”, as these tracks were released in the form of a Big D and The Kids Table Single back in August.

New Song: “Light Ahead” by Armatage Shanks

New Song: “Light Ahead” by Armatage Shanks

In case you couldn’t tell from the name of the band, Armatage Shanks takes inspiration from the song name of one of their influences, Green Day. In fact, the guys in Armatage Shanks started off as a Green Day cover band back in 1998…in Norway. The band was well-received and began writing their own material, […]

In case you couldn’t tell from the name of the band, Armatage Shanks takes inspiration from the song name of one of their influences, Green Day. In fact, the guys in Armatage Shanks started off as a Green Day cover band back in 1998…in Norway. The band was well-received and began writing their own material, and then just seemed to fade away.

Well, the band has been back and working on new stuff, and has just uploaded a new song on their MySpace page. There’s no information on Light Ahead, however it is my educated guess that there will be a new album in the near future from these guys. Check out the track here.
