San Diego based late-90s/00s band The Black Heart Procession release their Hearts and Tanks EP today via Solid Brass Records on all platforms. Hear and share Hearts and Tanks on all DSPs HERE.

The Black Heart Procession took root in San Diego in 1997, when Pall Jenkins (vocals, guitars, synths, etc.) and Tobias Nathaniel (piano, guitar, organ, etc.) put their previous band, Three Mile Pilot, on an open-ended hiatus.

In addition to numerous singles, the band has released 8 studio albums for labels like Headhunter, Touch and Go, Konkurrent, and Temporary Residence.

The duo has been joined over the years by a revolving cast of musicians including drummer Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse, the Magic Magicians), drummer Zeke Howard (Love As Laughter), bassist Jimmy LaValle (The Album Leaf) and violinist Matt Resovich (The Album Leaf). The band's line-up has expanded and contracted, but at its heart and soul remains Jenkins and Nathaniel, creating timeless, heart-wrenching classics that are adventurous, eclectic, and consistently brilliant.

In July of 2024 the band toured Italy and Greece followed by a full US tour in November of 2024 with Modest Mouse. The band recently announced they would join Modest Mouse on their upcoming Ice Cream Floats cruise from Miami to the Dominican Republic in February 2026 along with Kurt Vile, Tropical Fuck Storm, Portugal. The Man, Mannequin Pussy, Ugly Casanova, and more.

In July of 2025, Solid Brass Records partnered with The Black Heart Procession to begin work on a couple soon-to-be-announced projects. To kick things off, on 9/19/25 the band’s Hearts and Tanks EP will be available on all streaming platforms for the first time ever. Originally tracked in 2003, and released on the UK label Shingle Street, the band locked themselves inside Stereo Disguise Recording Laboratories for 72 hours resulting in this 4 song collection.

Hearts & Tanks is available on streaming and download, released on September 19th via Solid Brass Records. Orders are available HERE.

PINK FUZZ offer early album listens via New Noise Magazine & Bandcamp, Denver sister/brother trio touring with The Sword & RBBP

"Resolution is one of the unexpected delights I’ve heard from the Stoner Rock scene this year. As Pink Fuzz are brilliantly inventive combining classic Stoner Rock against areas of Shoegaze, Alt Rock and Indie Rock for a record that’s bound to become a firm favorite within the underground scene." -- Outlaws of The Sun

"Resolution is a sleek, hard rocking album with a lot of energy." -- New Noise Magazine

Denver trio Pink Fuzz release their long awaited new album Resolution on LP and download/streaming on September 19th, 2025. However, today the band offers an exclusive early stream via New Noise Magazine HERE. Tonight, the group hosts a Bandcamp Listening Party at 6pm PDT / 9pm EDT. RSVP HERE.

Pink Fuzz is currently touring the US supporting The Sword and Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol, culminating in a headlining hometown album release party in Denver at the Bluebird Theatre in November. See all current tour dates below, tickets are HERE.

Pink Fuzz is a brother/sister led three-piece out of Denver made up of singer/guitarist John Demitro, singer/bassist LuLu Demitro and drummer Forrest Raup. Pink Fuzz came to fruition at the end of 2017. Quickly picking up steam and wanting to expand out of Denver, Pink Fuzz started touring extensively. Creating a DIY circuit throughout the country, they’ve built a grassroots fanbase that has anxiously been awaiting new releases. Finally, 4 years after their previous release, the band's new album Resolution is here!

Produced by Kevin Mckeown (Black Pistol Fire) and mixed by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell, PJ Harvey, Arctic Monkeys). This will be their strongest body of work they’ve put out yet.

Their impressive live show has been making waves in the Colorado music scene and nationally. The band is currently supporting The Sword for 24 dates across the country. John’s baritone guitar lends itself to their heavy and fuzzed-out tone. The tuned down sound mixed with vocal harmonies and unique melodies is their calling card. The band’s newest material has been gaining fans since they debuted it at Treefort 2021. The coined term “High-Speed Desert Rock” suits them well as their show is fast-paced, dynamic and hard-hitting.

Resolution will be available on LP and download on September 19th, 2025. Pre-orders are available HERE.

THRILLROT share "The Law" video & single from forthcoming debut on Lost Future Records

"A lot of fun! I love it, and for a 2-piece, incredible." -- Ohrion Reacts

"Raw, relentless and razor-sharp, this track is a rallying cry for the disillusioned and defiant." -- Metal Epidemic

“A furious anthem full of sudden tempo changes and unbridled fury, “The Law” is an absolute metal rager.” — New Noise Magazine

Denver, CO duo Thrillrot share the official video for "The Law" and the second single from their forthcoming debut full length today on Lost Future Records. The video premiered earlier via New Noise HERE. Watch and share the "The Law" video on YouTube HERE.

Hear and share "The Law" single on all DSPs HERE.

Popular YouTube reviewer Ohrion Reacts premiered the track on his channel HERE.

Thrillrot is a two-piece metal band from Denver, Colorado known for their hard-hitting and energetic sound. The duo blends thunderous drums, blistering guitars and seething vocals into a powerful assault -- raw intensity without apology. Every show, the band aims to deliver aggression you can bank on, with the visceral nature of the genre always at the forefront.

Thrillrot’s debut full-length is a brutal, unrelenting meditation on collapse -- of self, of city, of spirit. Drawing influence from Peter Wessel Zapffe’s dark essay The Last Messiah, the record channels generational trauma, economic despair and existential rot into a vicious, reflective sound. Across twelve tracks, the band tackles themes of identity, violence, memory and torment with lyrical sharpness and sonic weight. Each song is a wound, self-inflicted and wide open. This is not just a gut punch, it’s a full fledged five knuckle shuffle. Welcome to a New Breed of Hopelessness.

Thrillrot will be available on Limited Edition LP and download on October 17, 2025 via Lost Future Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.

THRILLROT LIVE 2025:

09/27 Denver, CO - D3 Arts Sober Space
