Their debut show hasn't even happened yet, but new local metal quintet NoXcape have already announced their next concerts! The band featuring former members of Absolute and Shift will make their first ever appearances in Sault Michigan itself in two weeks when they rock The Satisfied Frog on August 19th and 20th! The shows were recently posted on the band's Reverbnation page, so that's my source. Both shows should be 21+, a 10:00 PM start time is listed for both nights, and there's no announced cover charge. Check the above links for more details! Nice to see this talented new local band with some truly local shows on the horizon, I know they'll do great in two weeks at The Frog! Of course, before that, head down to Rudyard TONIGHT to see NoXcape's debut show at Dan's Place! I'll keep you guys posted when more NoXcape news comes in!
Next up, here's the latest lineup news as it pertains to Friday's Smeltzer reunion concert at The Oddfellows Hall, featuring local metal bands! The final band has been announced for the six-band lineup, and they are local hardcore quartet Changing Waves, fresh off their show at The Rosie this past Thursday! They are replacing Winkstinger (who were briefly advertised for this show last month) on the official lineup. Solid addition, never hurts to get some hardcore into an all ages show! The lineup for this show is now complete, and the official event poster on your left reflects that (and in case anyone asks, "The Quick Acting Pain Reliever" is not a band, it's a retro advertisement reference.) The official schedule is also out now for this concert, and it runs down like this: Smeltzer are headlining at 10:45 PM on Friday, with frontman Steve Mozarowski's current main band RedD Monkey preceding them at 10:00 PM. The Bear Hunters are the highest placed metal band at 9:00 PM, with returning grimecore trio Shit Liver on at 8:30 PM, indie rockers The Tenagens at 7:45 PM, and Changing Waves opening the show at 7:00 PM. The lineup is tentative, however, so changes in order or bands could be coming. Stay tuned to the SMS for more details, and hopefully I'll see you guys there!
Now to some video-related news from Woods of Ypres! Firstly, the band now has an official YouTube channel through popular music video site Vevo, and you can check it out at this location! So far, the only video posted is of their music video for "I Was Buried (In Mount Pleasant Cemetery)", which we have seen from other sources, but hopefully it will fill up more soon! Maybe re-post the "Northern Cold" video? It's a thought! However, we also have a new remix of "You Were The Light" from guitarist Joel Violette to check out as well! The remix is titled "Accounting For Your Cruelty" (it's not a new song, thanks to "Findles" for the correction), and it's also very doomy and emotional under the remix effects, which are well done once again! E-mail David once again at davidypres@gmail.com for the master files if you want to remix this song, and hopefully people jump on this bandwagon, as I haven't seen too much in the form of new remixes yet outside of the ones Joel made. Good stuff, give the new remix a listen below, and apologies for my earlier error!And finally for today, we have one more new video from Kinross hard rock trio Banned! Like the past two videos we've featured, this comes from the band's Music In The Park show in Rudyard last month, and was uploaded to YouTube by Ashley Traynor yesterday. I won't go too in-depth with it, as we mentioned videos from this show already when they were posted, but this is of Banned covering T. Rex's "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" with drummer Don Traynor (Ashley's father) on lead vocals. Good rendition, but the chorus is a bit more piercing than the original version. Nice to see more Banned videos though, so give this one a look below!
That's all for now, but if no new posts come by tonight, I will see you guys at Bossy's for the Hollow reunion show! Thanks everyone, keep it metal!
"Accounting For Your Cruelty" is a remix of "you were the light". Its not a new song. Its taken from the bridge of you were the light and just repeated with effects on the vocals. Wish it was a new song but nay, sorry bro.
