37 Houses share "Shadow Puppets" EP, continue US headlining tour dates

“Packed with bright, jangly guitars and powerful, resounding vocals.” — New Noise 

“Moody ear-candy…Another great record from a local band in our midst proves pain begets the most vivid art.” – SF Bay Guardian / 48 Hills

"Moody... It builds and builds in intensity." -- TGEFM

"A candid exploration of love, regret, and personal growth wrapped in a melody that feels both relatable and raw." -- Static Multimedia

"Poignant, melodic indie rock in the key of mid-90s Matador Records. Fans of Helium and Bettie Serveert alike should check it out." -- Rock and Roll Globe

San Francisco duo 37 Houses share a new 4-song EP today to promote their summer headlining tour dates on the West and East Coasts. Please see complete dates below. The lead track "Shadow Puppets" premiered earlier via Northern Transmissions HERE and is now available on all DSPs HERE. A reworked full band rendition of the anthemic "Keep It Together" from their 2024 debut album also launched earlier today via Rock and Roll Globe HERE. 

Watch the official video for "Jealous Love" YouTube. Watch/share the video for "It Stays With Me" on YouTube.

Started in San Francisco in 2021, 37 Houses is an indie pop project that sublimates pain into creation. Singer Erin Sydney infuses powerful vocals into the poetically pedestrian lyrics and music written by her husband, Jeremy Rosenblum. Made up of long-standing musicians, 37 Houses is a creative family that channels their energy into wall-of-sound performances that create palpable impact. Above all, 37 Houses is what that beautiful mess sounds like.

While the music is lithe and hummable, Erin’s powerhouse singing takes their sound into the stratosphere. Their work is proof positive that pain can create immense beauty.

37 Houses, their debut album, is available on deluxe 2xLP and digital, released on February 14th, 2025. Vinyl orders are available HERE.

MARIO INFANTES shares new video/single from forthcoming sophomore solo album on Lost Future Records

“Has a very cinematic feel to it, almost like the soundtrack to a spy movie. The Icelandic composer has a knack for electronic music.” — Metal Injection

 

"A startling solo debut... From dungeon to daylight, electronic instrumental therapy." -- Echoes & Dust

 

"Infantes steps away from the Icelandic progressive death metal style to take listeners on a synth-driven journey into his artistic psyche... A mesmerizing atmospheric record." -- Metal Insider

"Mario’s voice is still front and center, but this time it’s part of a much bigger picture, one that is less about control and more about discovery. The result is an album that feels lived-in and searching, less like a statement and more like an invitation." -- Psychedelic Baby Magazine

“Rich with dreamlike vocals, traditional instruments, and cultural creativity, Mario takes us to another plane of existence, far from this harsh, cruel world.” — Toilet Ov Hell

Iceland based artist Mario Infantes shares a new video & single from his forthcoming sophomore solo album Bitácora today via ToiletOvHell. Watch & share "Away" HERE. (Direct YouTube.) Hear "Away" exclusively on Bandcamp.

Hear/share 3 previous singles on all DSPs. 

Mario recently did an in-depth interview with It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine HERE. 

From the windswept landscapes of Iceland to the echoes of distant shores, Mario Infantes Ávalos embarks on a musical voyage with Bitácora—a sonic journal that transcends borders, languages, and traditions. Known for his remarkable vocal range and deep-rooted passion for cultural storytelling, Mario weaves together a rich tapestry of sounds, featuring collaborations with renowned Icelandic musicians from a variety of backgrounds.

Blurring the lines between past and future, Bitácora fuses the raw energy of metal, the haunting beauty of European folk traditions, and the immersive textures of cinematic soundscapes into a mind bending voyage across an icy musical landscape. Each track is a chapter, each melody a landmark, guiding the listener through a journey of self-discovery, displacement, and the universal longing for connection.

Anchored in innovation yet steeped in tradition, Bítacora is more than an album—it’s an expedition into the unknown, where every note tells a story and every voice carries the weight of history.

Mario Infantes Ávalos is a multidisciplinary artist from Spain, now based in Iceland, known for his extraordinary vocal range and deep connection to global sounds. A former member of the acclaimed metal band Cult of Lilith (signed to Metal Blade Records), he has captivated audiences with his dynamic voice, spanning operatic tenor, ethereal falsetto, and intense metal vocals. Now signed to Lost Future Records, Mario embarks on a solo journey with his upcoming album, Bítacora—a musical odyssey blending metal, folk, and cinematic elements, featuring collaborations with renowned Icelandic musicians. Proficient in a variety of traditional instruments, including the oud, handpan, duduk, and bansuri, his work reflects a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and musical traditions.

Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol announce additional Fall tour dates w/ The Sword

Photo: Cam Kisel

"I guarantee you, it will be jammed firmly in your head for days on end." -- Metal Injection

“An instant earworm.” — Metal Sucks

“As ridiculously awesome as their big, dumb moniker would imply… churning out lumbering cascades of clobbering, trucker hat riffage that toe a slobbery line between Dinosaur Jr., Primus, Pantera and ZZ Top.” – Decibel Magazine

"Epically catchy... Imagine the ear-wormy fuzz-rock riffage of Dinosaur Jr. if it was played on an eight-string guitar with super heavy low-end." -- Revolver Magazine

Austin trio Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol announce additional US tour dates this Fall supporting the reunited The Sword. The dates start in August, and cover the entire US. Please see all dates below. Tickets for all shows are available HERE. (East Coast and Midwest shows from September 27th onward go on sale this Friday, the 11th.)

BIG DUMB RIFFS is available on digital, vinyl LP and cassette, released May 10th, 2024. Order/stream the album on all formats HERE. 

“Our catalog has never been short on big dumb riffs, but the idea on this record was to really turn the screw,” says RBBP bassist Aaron Metzdorf. On Big Dumb Riffs, that screw is cranked incredibly tight. 

“We just wanted ‘the part’: The opening of Pantera’s ‘Primal Concrete Sledge’, the breakdown in Primus' ‘Pudding Time’ — the shit that makes you move and lose your mind. Just that part the whole time.”

Across 11 concise, taut songs — most clocking in around 2 minutes or less — Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol demonstrates their skillful ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon’s 8-string guitar, Aaron Metzdorf’s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain’s driving drumming. 

Hot on the heels of their breakout 5th studio release Doom Wop (2023), Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol returns with Big Dumb Riffs: A whole new variant of the fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. While Big Dumb Riffs is decidedly more aggressive and rhythmic, it still retains the overtly melodic feel of Doom Wop. But Leo Lydon’s vocals are considerably more angry and negative. 

“The whole writing process was, ‘what if we just played two notes the whole song’,” Metzdorf says. “‘What if we tuned down to almost unusable string tension?’, ‘what if we write a record that will make everyone say 'wow that is dumb’? Leo and I really move around on stage a lot. Being a dingus is crucial to the groove. All these riffs were designed to allow us to act bigger and dumber on stage.”

Big Dumb Riffs is available on vinyl LP, cassette, download and streaming, released on May 10, 2024. Orders are available HERE.
