Benjamin Shaw Live Album

 

Look out for the debut live album from acclaimed misanthropist Benjamin Shaw, the cult artist who was accidentally born in Canada before growing in Blackpool, spent miserable years in London before relocating to Melbourne, Australia. This release sees him traveling to a church in Krems, Austria for donaufestival 2019 and his first live performance in five years. The lead single ‘A Brand New Day (Live at donaufestival)’ is available now.

Evolving and experimenting, this performance sees him reimagine material from his discography with flashes of glimmering electronica, frozen R&B, glitchy beats, post-rock ambience and more as his fragile vocal carries him through songs about hope, hate and hurt. “It’s like I have a mini-breakdown between each song…”

Shaw has released records with Audio Antihero in New York, Kirigirsu Recordings in Japan, Glass Reservoir in London and more. Recorded live on May 4 2019 in Krems, Austria for donaufestival 2019. This was Benjamin Shaw's first live performance in five years.

The material performed here is taken albums like Megadead, Rumfucker, There's Always Hope, There's Always Cabernet, Guppy, Goodbye, Cagoule World and One Day We'll Laugh About All This. Dissected and reconstructed, the material here evolves often from lo-fi acoustic beginnings to an electronic pop that is both glistening and broken, like shattered glass. Shaw's fractured and frail vocal emotes misanthropic misery over an ocean of beats and waves of sound. Perfectly beautiful and beautifully imperfect.

Anyone who saw Benjamin Shaw performing live in and around London before his move to Australia and live hiatus will find a totally new sound and experience in these recordings.

 

 

 

Hellyeah’s Thunderous Anthem 'Black Flag Army'

 

With less than a month until the release of their sixth studio album Welcome Home, due September 27 via Eleven Seven Music, Hellyeah have unleashed ‘Black Flag Army,’ the fifth and final offering ahead of the album release.

Their eagerly anticipated new album, which features the late Vinnie Paul’s final recordings, will feature 11 tracks driven by their love, loyalty, reverence and respect for their fallen brother, including ‘Black Flag Army’, fiery track ‘333,’ the thunderous U.S radio hit ‘Welcome Home,’ guitar-driven ‘Perfect’ and gritty ‘Oh My God.’

After celebrating the life of their brother and bandmate Vinnie Paul with an emotional sold-out concert in Las Vegas earlier this year, the band toured extensively across the US where they premiered new material from Welcome Home each night, with talks of UK shows on the horizon. They continue to honour their late bandmate by donating proceeds from ticket sales to the American Heart Association, helping to raise early awareness for heart disease. Vinnie’s death had a huge, life-changing impact on Hellyeah who have all now vowed to change their ways to a much healthier lifestyle and aim to resonate that to others.

As they continue to make their signature hard rock for fans old and new, Hellyeah are pushing forward as a strong unit with a brand new release that is personal, poignant and truly memorable, marking the next chapter of journey.
