There might be 291 days until Halloween, but we can never celebrate too early! This is something The Frst seems to agree with, given the content of their first single of 2023, "Scary Movie". It's perfectly timed, too, given the fact that the song dropped today--on Friday the Thirteenth. Oooh, how spooky.

“It’s Called ‘Fool & The Thief’ and It Goes Like This” — THE HARA Dropped Live at Satan’s Hollow Music Video

When THE HARA had announced that they recorded their Satan's Hollow show and were putting out a live album, I was so excited I didn't know what to do with myself. Even better? The band just dropped the "Fool & the Thief" segment on New Years Day for us all to enjoy. Happy 2023 indeed. Check out THE HARA's 'Live at Satan's Hollow - Fool & The Thief', now on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VvGc_V3iMY In case you never got to experience THE HARA in concert, this video is a good introduction to the absolute madness that ensues. The use of creative camera angling and the way the team uses color and lighting to their advantage aids in mimicking the chaotic, ever-changing energy that's contained in the room.

Punk Rock Supergroup Fire Sale Releases New 2-Song Single

Punk rock supergroup Fire Sale is back with a new 2-song single. With "A Fools Errand" and "We Dance For Sorrow" the band delivers two memorable jams with killer harmonies and melodic hooks. Fire Sale is made up of Matt Riddle (Face to Face/No Use For A Name), Chris Swinney (The Ataris), Pedro Aida (Ann Beretta) along with Matt Morris. The new material was recorded at The Blastroom which is owned by Bill Stevenson of The Descendents. I wrote the music to this song while I was extremely ill about 10-12 years ago. The bassline came about by testing myself, to see if I could still play at all. It has a weird picking style, kind of a banjo-ish thing. Thumb and first two fingers. It’s a pretty simple chord progression, but when I showed the guys, they seemed to really like it. Pedro wr...
