Sponsor: Designer Disguise – “Whisper” Video

Designer Disguise

Designer Disguise are a melodic metalcore band and they have just released their brand new single, “Whisper.” The track is a strong display of the sextet’s core sound, which features frontman Jackson Bengtsson’s powerful vocals over heavy instrumentation with an electronic flavor. They’d fit right in on the road with groups like Issues, Of Mice & Men, or Hands Like Houses; thus far they’ve enjoyed sharing the stage with national acts such as I The Mighty, Our Last Night, and Polyphia.

Designer Disguise will be releasing their new EP, including “Whisper,” this spring. Follow the band on social media to be keyed in on show dates and release dates, as well as special giveaways: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Sponsor: Bitter Pills Release ‘Night Season’ EP

Bitter Pills

After coming up as rivals in the Nashville music scene, Jordan Dickerson and Kyle Adams came together to form Bitter Pills. After years of touring in their own bands, as well as in bands such as From Indian Lakes, Artifex Pereo, and Settings, they settled into an old house just outside of Music City to write Night Season — an EP as dark as it is hopeful, and as heavy is it is catchy. The five song collection is the sum of two lifetimes worth of musical iteration. Drawing inspiration from mainstream heavy-hitters like Incubus and Nine Inch Nails, as well as beloved bands such as Thrice and Anberlin, the EP is a healthy balance of familiar sounds and boundary bending ambition.

The EP is out right now on iTunes, Apple Music, and Spotify.

My thanks to Hailey, It Happens for sponsoring the website this week. I’ve been following these guys for what seems like forever now (as one of the members is a pretty prominent poster on our forums), and I really do think this is the best thing they’ve done yet. Their new album is self-titled and you can grab it right now on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music. I recommend everyone go give it a listen. The songs are personal, well written, and definitely worth your time.

Sponsor: Hailey, It Happens Release New Album

Hailey, It Happens

Hailey, It Happens are an electronic music duo from Boston, MA who have been friends and collaborators since they were 13 years old. Last Friday they released their brand new self-titled album. The album is now up on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music. Two and a half years after their last EP, Under the Brilliant Lights, and recorded during time stolen between full-time jobs as an accountant and a teacher, the record chronicles 36 consequential months in the duo’s lives.

Between the first session with veteran producer Jon Taft (The Saddest Landscape, Bearstronaut, Morne) and the last layered harmony, songs about girlfriends became songs about fiancés and then wives. Songs were informed by visiting places all over the world. The muse for songs of hurt and goodbye on past records became the inspiration for new songs about a blossoming relationship. And during every break between fevered writing and recording sessions, the face of the music world changed, and these two music obsessives listened to, absorbed and repurposed a whole world of new sounds into their own aesthetic.
