Punk Rockers Worth Taking release a 6 track cover EP



Worth Taking was born out of Jerod McBrayer's love of Bleed American by Jimmy Eats World.

2011 saw the release of Worth Taking's first EP - Anxious which featured Jerod performing all the vocals and instrumentals himself. The end result was a well rounded five track EP which showcased Jerod's command of simple irrestible melodies, without sacrificing the punk feel.

Jerod then felt in order to find like minded band members it would be best to head West and he ended up in San Fransisco. It wasn't long before he was introduced to Tim Reeder and Chris Self, the trio instantly clicked and 2012 saw them knee deep in lyrics and live performances. Jerod still wrote all the songs for the follow up EP - Oddly Pacific, however now Worth Taking were a 4 piece band. 

2013 saw them tour Japan and with their fans loving Oddly Pacific, they thought now was the right time to release a full length album - this is due for release on August 12th and is titled Art Imitates Art.

Maria opens with a belter of a intro and the vocals certainly pack a punch.

The Empire is just as energetic when it comes to the instrumentals, lyrically this is a more somber track but regardless of the tone Mike Herrera is a great choice as guest vocalist.

I Wanna Live starts with super charged guitar riffs and the instrumental arrangement throughout the whole song are on point and I love the catchy guitar halfway through plus the lyrics convey a motivational message about making the best out of life.

2000 Light Years Away is chock full of percussion beats and a lightning fast guitar segment.

My Life Story opens with another corker of a instrumental arrangement and more powerful but also smooth sounding vocals.

I Just Want To Have Something To Do is punk rock at its best with its highly charged instrumental beats.

Punker Than Thou contains 6 classic tracks from the likes of Green Bay and The Ramones which Worth Taking have added their unique lyrical and instrumental twist to.

This is truly Nina Yasmineh's Finest Hour


http://ninayasmineh.bandcamp.com/

Originally from Minneapolis Nina enrolled into New York University, from which she graduated in June 2013.

 She then wrote, recorded and produced her Seven Years EP, which was very well received from music publications, record label reps and even Swedish recording artist Tove Lo who shared Nina's cover of her hit song Not On Drugs on her Facebook and Twitter accounts.

 Nina has literally just released the 5 track follow up EP - Finest Hour.

 Ghost entertains with catchy instrumental beats, uplifting vocals and heart felt lyrics.

 Prophecy features a delightful piano arrangement complimented by beautiful melodic beats and Nina's smooth poppy vocals.

 Finest Hour begins with a upbeat intro and then morphs into a deep emotional tune and this is reflected by Nina's powerful lyrics.

 Collar Bone opens with Nina's soothing vocals which quickly transform into a vocal style with more oomph behind it.

 Sanctuary mixes things up musically by featuring a Pipe Organ at the start, Nina works her lyrical magic once again with her ever descriptive verses. She manages to make you think you're in the song - a true musical maestro.

Hometown Hero By Everyday Sidekicks


Hometown Hero 
By Everyday Sidekicks
(TourLife Records)
 Music Video Release Date ~ May 25th 2014


Post-hardcore quintet Everyday Sidekicks have achieved a lot since their formation in early 2012, playing alongside with the likes of Bam Margera, Marmozets, Coldrain, CYTOTA, Astroid Boys, Palm Reader and more, to thousands of people at sold-out shows. The band, whose tracks are full of energy and heart, deliver a brand of heavy music that has a definitive and recognisable melodic edge that is as addictive as it is rewarding.
Recording at Innersound Studios (where Asking Alexandria recorded tracks for their latest album)  they recorded their debut album ‘Set Yourself Alight’ with producer Kevin Peters at Anemic Studios in Bristol earlier this year. Featuring artists such as Ali Ross from Cars On Fire, the album was released in July to a fantastic reception. The release of the album was accompanied by a music video for the single ‘Kingdoms’, which has so far managed to gain over 10,000 views on YouTube.
The band are currently bringing their explosive live shows to venues all over the UK with headline shows throughout Sheffield, London, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester.
To say they’ve added their own meaning to post hardcore would be an understatement - it’s shockingly clear how passionate the 5 piece are to create music they believe in, and they’ve succeeded with this record. With individuality and passion poured into lyrics, music and promotion this debut release on TourLife Records shows a bright future awaits.
Hometown Hero proves that you do not need a record label throwing thousands of pounds into production, under the right guidance, determination and hunger for success anything is possible.

Héllena and her captivating Dream Big Launch Party


To coincide with the launch of her single Dream Big, Héllena organised a launch party and this was a musical extravaganza to entertain one and all. 

Taking place at notable London Music Venue The Troubadour and with an amazing roster of musical performers, Héllena certainly knows how to put on a show.



First up on the billing was Damon Coles, his bio describes him as a singer/songwriter.

His main musical influences include 60s music like the Beatles and his repertoire includes 
original rock with a hint of blues and soulful ballads.


Let me tell you Damon certainly lives up to his description. 

His set consisted of 7 songs 

- which showcased his powerful vocals, lyrical expertise and instrumental technique.


My favourite song from his performance is without a doubt - Which Way Its Going To Go. 

The way he interspersed the lyrics and instrumentals was simply out standing.

Next up was Kat Eaton, whose vocal style can be best described as Jazzy. 

She really gives it her all onstage and with an equally talented band supporting her, 
Kat is musically outstanding.

Her performance of her current single Alien, demonstrated her fab vocal technique and how she effortlessly holds a note. 

This probably had to be the piece de resistance of her 5 song set.

Kat has a new EP, which will be released on June the 16th.

The penultimate act featured two talented vocalists. Jana and Harvey, who performed four songs.

The first of which was Indigo, which highlighted their Bluesy/Folksy style.



With the crowd already in the party mood thanks to three exceptional acts and the DJ, it was time for Héllena and her band to take to the stage.

Their set began with the energetic number Listen and it didn't take long to realise that Héllena is a dab hand at captivating the audience.

The air guitar was an inspiration, they then went on to perform Don't Change, Heaven's A Lie (which was a cover of the Lacuna Coil classic), The Lovesong which featured an entertaining guitar riff and Living Alone.

Héllena then stripped the performance back to perform two mellow and acoustic numbers. 

Fighting With Myself - which featured a beautiful piano solo and A Little Too Late.

In addition to her powerful vocals Héllena's musical skills also extend to the Guitar and with vocal, musical and lyrical credentials at her finger tips. I can see her going far and I can't wait to see what she'll have in store for us next on the musical front.
