Rickshaw Billie's Burger Patrol does Premier Guitar Magazine's 'Rig Rundown' video interview series


"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 are featured today in Premier Guitar Magazine's beloved Rig Rundown video interview series. Lead singer and 8-string guitarist Leo Lydon and bassist/vocalist Aaron Metzdorf are interviewed by PG editor Chris Kies, discussing in detail their unique tones, unusual gear, approach to songwriting, and more. Watch/share the Rig Rundown video via YouTube HERE and Premier Guitar HERE


RBBP announced a limited Special Edition release of the Doom Wop album last week and pre-orders have been selling fast. The LP is pressed on Metallic Silver Vinyl, housed in a mirrored silver laminate jacket with completely redesigned custom handmade artwork throughout the album. This short run variant ships on or before September 18th, 2026 -- fans can pre-order now to ensure to get a copy before they're all gone. See mockup image below. Available to pre-order HERE


Retail stores can order wholesale via Cobraside Distribution HERE.


The band also recently shared their latest single, "The Disappearing Man" from their forthcoming album CA$H GRAB. The song finds the band showcasing their absolute mastery of heavy hook-filled riffs and rhythms couched in earworm melody that would make Green Album era Weezer jealous. 


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. 


CA$H GRAB is still in production and will be announced in more detail at a later date. For now, dig in to the three bite-sized anthems from the album so far, "The Disappearing Man", "Bough Down" and "Peaches" on all DSPs HERE


RBBP just concluded their CA$H GRAB 6-week headlining tour across North America, with multiple sold out shows. 


Doom Wop (Special Edition) will be available on LP on September 18th, 2026.

Deathdotgov share open source video for "Magic Guns", announce deluxe reissue on Lost Future Records

Phoenix, AZ band Deathdotgov share a clever open source music video today for their single "Magic Guns" from their debut album deathdotcom. 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 earlier 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
