Nekokat, a new band formed by members of The Ready Set and The Summer Set have released their debut single ‘Gimmie A Break’. Coming off of their forthcoming EP Communication (Washington Square/Razor & Tie), which drops on June 23rd. You can hear ‘Gimmie a Break’ at this link, or below:
https://soundcloud.com/wearenekokat/gimme-a-break/s-AKMXJ
Comprised of Jordan W from The Ready Set, musical conspirator Cameron Walker, and drummer Jess Bowen of The Summer Set, Nekokat recorded their EP with producer Eric Palmqist (Bad Suns, Night Riots) over five days earlier this spring.
Jordan W commented on his perspective of making music with a new band, after a long touring cycle ended with The Ready Set:
“I wanted to be at the beginning of something again that feel fresh and new.. That’s where the idea for the band came from. I tried to make an effort not to pursue sounds of the moment, but to create something that’s distinctly ours in a natural way.”
Los Angeles based Industrial metal act Children are poised to release a new EP via the Records Ad Nausem boutique label. Stream the album below from Soundcloud.
Produced by Michael Keene of The Faceless, The Circle Narrows features artwork from acclaimed American visionary artist Rev. Steven Johnson Leyba. In addition to four original compositions, the EP features remixes by Enjineer, More Ephemerol, Rocky Rosga, Sashcloth &Axes, and MRK.
Detroit modern metallers Battlecross will release their anticipated new record Rise To Power from Metal Blade on August 21st. The new single ‘Not Your Slave’ is streaming now on www.Metalblade.com
Produced by Jason Suecof and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis of Audiohammer Studios in Florida, the artwork was created by Hungarian artist Péter Sallai (Sabaton, Sacred Steel).
Guitarist Tony Asta comments on ‘Not Your Slave’:
“We’re really happy with the crushing feel of this song. Somehow through the writing process, maybe even on accident, a more groovy feel was created. We won’t write the same record twice and I think this is our strongest and more dynamic album yet.”
