Brad Pitt has a ruff time in the ‘Heart of the Beast’ trailer

<p>It’s been a bit since we’ve had a good “tough-guy-and-animal” picture (and no, we’re not really putting Superman in that category, as tough as the Man of Steel is), and it looks like Brad Pitt and Odin the dog are going to end the dry spell. They’re co-leads in David Ayer’s Heart of the Beast, a survival thriller about a man, a dog, a plane crash, and a journey home. What more do you really need for a compelling feature? […]</p>

Listen to the new split by Antenna93 and Chop Sue Me and read a track-by-track breakdown!

Today, we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new split EP from Montreal bands Antenna93 and Chop Sue Me! The EP is called 1000 WHATS and features two tracks by each band. Speaking about the title of the track, Chop Sue Me bassist Antoine Morin said, ”The title 1000 WHATS came from a lyric in the song “Power Drop” by Antenna93: “Thousand watts behind my eyes.” But as you can see, the title of the EP is written Whats instead of Watts. That comes from a Facebook Marketplace post where someone was selling speakers for a guitar cab and accidentally wrote “Watts” as “Whats.” We thought it was funny and it became the inspiration for the title. As you can also see, there is a clear influence from the album 1000 Hurts by Shellac, both in the title and the album cover.” Antenna93’s songs are “Power Drop” and “Bottled”. Speaking to Punknews about their tracks, the band said, ”For Antenna93’s tracks, both are relatively very fresh for our standards – generally, we keep songs for a while before recording them (“Jack in the Green”, the last track we released, had been in our rotation for about a year and a half before we got to recording it). This split came up in a pretty impromptu way, and to match that energy, we decided to use tracks that were very new. “Bottled” especially had only been completed a few weeks prior to recording.” Chop Sue Me’s songs are “God Blows Minds” and “Ice Pick”. Speaking about the split, Morin said, ”Doing this split EP with Antenna93 was just the best move we could have made. We had these two songs left before starting to fully work on the album, but they didn’t really fit the vibe of the upcoming record, so this was the perfect opportunity for us to finish them and feature them on a split release with our good friends and one of our favorite bands in Montreal, Antenna93. Some people might think we are arch-enemies, but this split is a little letter proving that, at the end of the day, you can still be friends with your best enemies.” We caught up with Antenna93 and Antoine Morin of Chop Sue Me to hear the stories behind each of the tracks. 1000 WHATS will be out everywhere on August 14 via Long Vowel.
