Oklahoma City noise rock quartet Chat Pile released their sophomore LP Cool World just shy of three weeks ago and now, the band is getting ready for leg one of their North American tour spanning October 31 through November 22. The tour kicks off with two hometown shows in Oklahoma City then traverses the midwest into Canada, followed by a string of east coast shows. The second leg of the tour runs February through March around Texas and along the west coast of the U.S. and Canada— check out all tour dates listed below. Chat Pile have shared a music video for Cool World single, Frownland.  Director Matthew Zagorski comments on the video treatment: “When I first heard this song, I heard despair, so I wanted the video to start off troubling. The main character laying there in the rubble of his old life, digging through the ruins of what used to be. I was dealing with extreme feelings of loneliness and not feeling worthy at the time of piecing together this video and it really bled into the narrative.” Watch / share the “Frownland” music video on YouTube!

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: Squid Pisser Share Their New Video “Vaporize A Neighbor” – Band Currently Touring USA With GWAR

Posted on by

Gunk-drenched avant-grind alien entity Squid Pisser are on the road, opening for GWAR on “The Stoned Age” tour for its duration, culminating on November 20th in Nashville Tennessee. Squid Pisser are touring in support of their new album Dreams of Puke, which was released on June 14th on the great SKiN GRAFT Records (Buñuel, Melt-Banana, Dazzling Killmen) and the band’s own Sweatband Records. 

The album has been making a gooey splash (not just for its manic fusion of Punk, Grindcore and Sludge), but for its delightfully grotesque album artwork by painter Gregory Jacobsen (who also fronts Squid-Pisser-label-mates Lovely Little Girls). Controversy around the album art has led to strategic placement of parental advisory stickers on CD copies. Meanwhile the band’s distributor Redeye Worldwide were forced to make a vinyl reprint having received copies with mutilated and damaged jackets. 

The casual creation of such hysteria could barely be more Punk Rock and Ghost Cult could not be more delighted to be teaming up with the band to share the video for “Vaporize A Neighbor” — a suitably demented visual companion to the track’s vortex of deranged, metallic riffing — directed by special effects artist Eris Deo.

A new revelation from THE FOX GOD:

“In 2025, BABYMETAL will enter a new era. The METALVERSE will expand and we will travel to a world we have never experienced, with new songs.”

Following this communication from THE FOX GOD, global metal sensation BABYMETAL announce their first-ever Arena Tour of Europe, set to kick off in May 2025. Having headlined arenas and stadiums in their native Japan multiple times, BABYMETAL have comfortably commanded huge shows for years. However, with the exception of a record-breaking sold-out show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley in 2016, the band has not previously had the opportunity to bring their awesome arena show to European audiences. Now, fans can look forward to a show that promises to redefine the BABYMETAL live music experience for audiences across the continent, as they take in some of Europe’s most prestigious rooms, culminating in the UK at London’s O2 Arena. The special guest openers for the tour will be Poppy and Bambie Thug. Tickets and VIP packages on-sale to the general public on Friday, 25th October hereContinue reading →
