Deathdotgov share "Galleria" single from forthcoming expanded Lost Future Records reissue of debut album

Phoenix, AZ band Deathdotgov share two new tracks today from the forthcoming deluxe reissue of their debut album deathdotcom. The studio version of "Galleria" from the album and the new live version of "Galleria (Live at The Rebel Lounge)" both launched earlier via Echoes & Dust HERE. The tracks are now also available on all DSPs HERE


Deathdotgov recently released a clever open source music video for their single "Magic Guns" from the album. The video was shot using green screen, so that fans can download the file and add whatever visuals to the video and share online. The band will share all fan created videos on their own channels. "Magic Guns" premiered via New Noise Magazine HERE. Watch/share/download "Magic Guns" video on YouTube HERE


The video source files are available for direct download HERE


From deep within the desert emerges Deathdotgov, a multi-hyphenate, genre-renouncing group of musicians from Phoenix, AZ. The quartet consists of Coba Westerman (vox), John Bacino (guitar), Dylan Ewing (guitar) and Meghan Herring (drums). 


Each member’s extensive experience with previous projects lends an element of chaos that -- in the band’s own words -- was always the goal. Since their blistering first show in early 2023, deathdotgov has gone on to commit musical war crimes across the land.


Combining elements of math rock in its least traditional form and inspired by post punk and the weirdest, heaviest of breakdowns, the band’s first single “The Observer” puts every member’s talent in the spotlight while also proving that they’re never going to be predictable with their sound. They released their debut album deathdotcom in 2025 and have no plans on slowing down any time soon. 


In 2026 the band signed with Lost Future Records for their next album, planned for 2027. The label will also reissue deathdotgov on CD and digital with 6 bonus live tracks in late 2026. Deathdotgov doesn’t need to acclimate - they’ve arrived fully-formed and with a clear vision for their future as a band. 


deathdotcom will be available on CD and digital on December 11th, 2026 via Lost Future Records. Orders are available HERE

Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol announce Ca$h Grab album release w/ new single & pre-sale



"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 their forthcoming fourth album today, titled Ca$h Grab with release of the title track single on all platforms. The album will be released on October 23rd, track listing and cover art follow below. Fans can now pre-order Ca$h Grab on LP/CD/MC HERE. Hear/share "Ca$h Grab" +3 singles on all DSPs HERE.


The band launches Fall 2026 tour dates supporting Death From Above 1979 starting on October 1st. Fans can get tickets HERE for all shows. Please see all dates below. 



Premier Guitar Magazine recently featured the band on their beloved Rig Rundown video interview series. Watch/share the Rig Rundown video via YouTube HERE and Premier Guitar HERE


Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol further the sarcastic tone of their previous album’s title Big Dumb Riffs to double down with Ca$h Grab. The irony here — and perhaps the point — is that Ca$h Grab is the band’s most introspective and lyrically vulnerable songwriting to date. 


Of course, the band still bludgeons with thunderous 8-string guitar, growling bass chords and pummeling drums throughout. But these songs are as bassist Aaron Metzdorf explains,“more pop song forward, while still in the idiom of heavy music.”


The album finds the trio — vocalist/guitarist Leo Lydon, drummer Sean St. Germain and bassist/vocalist Metzdorf — expanding their mastery of heavy, hook-filled riffs and rhythms couched in earworm melody that would make Green Album era Weezer jealous. Following the Spartan Primus-meets-Pantera rhythmic ruction in 2 minutes or less of Big Dumb Riffs, the band lets melodies lead the battlefront this time around. In so doing, the lyrics are more personal and revealing, juxtaposed with twisting notes that nod to influences from Built To Spill and Sugar style indie pop to early 90s-era Rush


“The heavier parts are even heavier, but more fleshed out. And the heaviness is not just in a guitar riff, but heavy lyrics, heavy melody,” Metzdorf says. “Some of the heaviest parts of the whole album are Leo's vocals. While the poppier stuff has a more prominent role on this one.”


Ca$h Grab kicks off where the last album left off: The slow burn quiet/loud dynamic of “Freakshow”, seemingly the end result of the quasi-psychotic conceit of the previous disc’s “In a Jar,” both of which are sung by Metzdorf, who sings lead on 5 of the album’s 14 tracks. Vocalist/guitarist Leo Lydon really showcases the versatility in his singing, belting out high notes like never before on songs like “Fate Is”, “Peaches” and the title track. And while his vocals soar, Lydon’s 8-string guitar rumbles with menacing low end while intertwined with Metzdorf’s thick, heavily distorted bass chords. The band’s secret weapon, St. Germain pulls it all together with his innovative beat substitutions and explosive, syncopated hooks delivered with an effortless groove and fun loving smile. 


In the two years since Big Dumb Riffs, the band toured relentlessly, both as a headliner and supporting The Sword, Death From Above 1979, Pigs x9, King Buffalo and more. Their meticulously curated annual Big Dumb Fest in Austin and headlining dates continue to sell out and the band’s ever growing rabid fanbase proves that RBBP’s iconic reign has just begun. 


Ca$h Grab will be available on LP, CD, cassette and download/streaming on October 23rd, 2026.
