Omnivore Recordings Dig Deep Into The Vault For "The Original Demos" From The Bootheels

On September 24th, Omnivore Recordings will release the only known recordings of this fairly unknown band, The Bootheels. This California band came together for a brief period in 1988, without receiving much success outside of their little friendship circle, but each band member would go on to receive huge accolades on their own. The members of The Bootheels are Luther Russell (Those Pretty Wrongs), Jakob Dylan (The Wallflowers), Tobi Miller (The Wallflowers) and Aaron A. Brooks (Lana Del Rey, Moby) and for one moment in the late eighties, it was their first glimpse into the world of rock and roll.

Now for the first time, The Bootheels will release their "1988: The Original Demos" disc, which features a totally different sound than what you might have expected from this foursome. Kicking things off is "See It In Your Eyes," which sounds like it came straight from the blueprint of British punk music in the late-seventies, in which melody and singing were replaced by energy, speed and power. Their raw, unpolished, pre-grunge sound recalls the music of The Clash with "Thing Called Love," before slowing the tempo down for the underground alternative style of "The Deal." The Bootheels' California punk style was spread all over their songs, as displayed in the energetic romp of "Wasted Dime" and "Got Me On My Knees." They tried to show a bit more structure to their music with the addictive melody of "Halfway There," but instead find more pleasure in the punk furry of "Queen Of Hearts." This new release closes with a few of The Bootheels rough, unpolished recordings of their new wave sounding "Images Of You" and "Think Of The Time."

Omnivore Recordings Reissues Gleaming Spires Albums On CD With Loads Of Bonus Tracks

 The 1980's pop group, Gleaming Spires were swept up in the current of New Wave music hitting the airwaves and released three albums before disbanding in 1985. Those albums have been long out of print, but are finally getting reissued by Omnivore Recordings on September 17th, as three separate releases, with loads of bonus tracks. The band was envisioned by the Bates Motel duo of Ron and Russell Mael, who were also performing as the cult duo Sparks, they enlisted Leslie Bohem, David Kendrick (Devo) as the key performers, along with fellow Sparks members Jim Goodwin and Bob Haag to complete the line-up of Gleaming Spires. Right from the start, the band found popularity along the California coast with their hit single "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls?," but then quickly fizzled out. The band tried to recapture that magic by entering the studio with famed producers Stephen Hauge (Pet Shop Boys) and Greg Penny (Elton John) to record two more albums in four years, before going their separate ways in 1985.

Their three albums will be issued on CD for the first time since their initial release with loads of bonus tracks, including rare, unissued Bates Motel tracks, demos from the Eleven Blue Men sessions and songs from the Roger Corman film "School Spirit." The debut album from Gleaming Spires titled "Songs Of The Spires" includes the hit single "Are You Ready For Sex Girls?," along with the post-punk tracks from Bates Motel as bonus material, which hard to image that they have never been released. Songs like "The Way Marlena Moves" and "Only The Young Die Young" have a great punk vibe that will have you looking back and rediscovering more songs by Bates Motel. The other four bonus tracks on this reissue of their first album are from Gleaming Spires "Life On The Lawn" EP, which definitely sounds like an extension of the band's early New Wave sound.

Their second album "Walk On Well Lighted Streets" still keeps that New Wave sound flowing through tracks like "You're Right" and "Happy Boy." The bonus tracks featured along side the original ten album songs come from the well-received "Party EP," which features some of Gleaming Spires more experimental tracks like "Funk For Children" and "Brain Button." This new release also includes the song "Kinda Like The Movies" from the film "Bad Manners," along with a full band version of Gleaming Spires' "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls?" and "All Night Party" from the classic comedy film "Revenge Of The Nerds."

The third and final studio album from Gleaming Spires titled "Welcoming A New Ice Age" finds the band aiming toward a more pop-oriented sound with addictive ballads like "Tearaway" and "Your Secret Room," while also trying to recapture their early days with the sound of "What's Coming Next." The bonus tracks featured on this new CD reissue of the album come from the 1985 movie "School Spirit," which was the first film issued on Roger Corman's distribution company, Concorde Pictures. Plus, issued here for the first time, are a couple tracks from the Eleven Blue Men sessions, which was a failed attempt to keep the music flowing. A couple highlights from these bonus tracks include punk-style covers of Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" and Bob Dylan's "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding."

It has been six years since their last studio album "Book Of Souls" and the stoppage of touring due to the global pandemic allowed the band to finish their new album, which they began writing and recording in 2019. Similar to "Book Of Souls," this album clocks in at nearly 82-minutes, making this the second longest Iron Maiden album and it will be released as a double-CD set and a triple vinyl set.

The album begins with the eight-plus minute title track "Senjutsu," led by the tribal drumming of Nicko McBrain. Singer Bruce Dickinson sounds amazing, hitting the high notes, as he delivers the storied lyrics of the opener. Iron Maiden quicken up the pace with "Stratego," which was one of two songs that were released as a prelude to the album. The other previously released track was "Writing On The Wall," which fits the Iron Maiden mold perfectly with undeniable guitar riffs and an unforgettable chorus sung by one of the strongest voices in heavy metal. The band take their time with the slower opening of "Lost In A Lost World," before the classic sound of chugging guitars gives that song an energy boost, before Iron Maiden showcase their progressive side by switching tempos once again.

The final three songs on the album average over 11-minutes in length, as each one takes you on a musical journey. Iron Maiden were never ones to shy away from a history lesson, in which they give with "Death Of The Celts." The musicianship during the song's ten-plus minutes is stunning, as you just have to sit back and admire how cohesive a unit Iron Maiden are in the recording studio. The longest song on the album is the nearly 13-minute length of "The Parchment," which explodes with every guitar solo, while the steady drums and bass keep a steady pace throughout the song. The album closes with "Hell On Earth," which builds into another iconic Iron Maiden classic with its gallop-style rhythm and chugging guitar riffs, as Bruce's vocals lead the way along with a more noticeable keyboard section. The song's 11-plus minute length seems to go by in a blur of classic heavy metal. To find out more about Iron Maiden and their latest release "Senjutsu," please visit ironmaiden.com.

Bob Marley And The Wailers "Capitol Session" From 1973 Finally Gets Released

Arriving September 3rd from Tuff Gong and Mercury Studios is new rare glimpse at Bob Marley and The Wailers during their rare 1973 studio session in Hollywood, CA. The new release titled "Bob Marley And The Wailers: The Capitol Session '73" will arrive in a number of different formats, including a CD/DVD set, standalone CD, multi-colored vinyl and digitally. The backstory of this unique release dates back over 20 years, when all of the original footage from these sessions with Marley and the band had been lost or destroyed. Then, a freelance researcher discovered a few frames of the filmed footage and throughout the past two decades enough footage from these sessions were discovered to create this unique film.

After a few shows with Bruce Springsteen and Sly And The Family Stone, Bob Marley and The Wailers made their way to Hollywood to record a closed door session with producer Danny Cordell. The film was mixed "on the fly" for a possible future release, but the band was gaining so much success so quickly that there was a big demand for new music and live shows. Now, nearly fifty years later with get to see them in top form, in the studio, performing live and loose during this hour-long session.

The film footage has been painstakingly restored and looks great, considering its history. Bob Marley and The Wailers look and sound very professional, sticking to a certain set list, wasting no time in-between songs. Peter Tosh takes the lead on some of the tracks like "You Can't Blame The Youth" and "Stop That Train," with his stoic demeanor. Without an audience present, its a great insight to see the band play off each others energy, keeping the music loose, but I wish the band would jam out to some of the songs, but they seemed like all business when in the studio. It's also nice watching a video that doesn't cut to a different camera angle every two seconds, instead letting the feeling of the music control the filming, instead of the other way around. Hearing alternate version of some of Bob Marley and The Wailers' biggest hits like "Stir It Up" and "Get Up Stand Up" is a blessing, as they all pour all their emotions into this performance.

The progressive rock supergroup PAKT (featuring Percy Jones, Alex Skolnick, Kenny Grohowski and Tim Motzer) recently released a new self-titled studio album through MoonJune Records. Throughout this twelve track set, you can instantly feel the chemistry between these four musicians, especially in the twelve-minute opener "Emergence." As the song's structure builds and reseeds, you will notice the band's loose, freeform paying style, which seems to work wonders together. On the follow-up track "Over Strange Lands," one band member will take a turn on directing the song's course with everyone else following suit. The extended jams within each song keep the listener guessing on which direction the song is headed. The guitar really sear-through the experimental rhythm of "The Mystery," while "Brothers Of Energy" feels like a spacey, psychedelic trip. PAKT get a little funkier with the rhythmic breaks of "The Sacred Ladder," as each band member is on-point to execute the song's energetic and intense melody. They wrap up their new studio album with subtle notes of "Nigh Crossings" and the final energetic, sonic blast of "Cosmic Fire." MoonJune Records is also releasing each of PAKT's live shows digitally on the band's Bandcamp website. To find out more about PAKT and their latest releases, please visit pakt-moonjune.bandcamp.com.

Also just released through MoonJune Records is the latest album from Israeli-born drummer/composer Asaf Sirkis titled "Solar Flash." It features support from drummer/keyboardist Gary Husband, bassist Kevin Glasgow and guitarist Mark Wingfield. Sirkis' new eight-track album begins with the energetic run of "Kinship," which only slows down for a moment during Glasgow' bass solo. The music gets a little more bluesy with the stellar guitar work of Mark Wingfield, while "Polish Suite" parts 1 and 2 just glide along softly to put you in a relaxed state. The intensity picks back up during the rise of the title track "Solar Flash," before closing out the album with part 3 of the "Polish Suite," which adds more of Wingfield's guitar to the song's ambient backdrop.

Discover The Progressive Sounds Of Trifecta and Giancarlo Erra

Progressive rock trio, Trifecta recently released their new album titled "Fragments," back on August 20th, through Kscope Music. The group consists of Nick Beggs on bass, Adam Holzman on keyboards and Craig Blundell on drums. They performed together as part of Steve Wilson's backing band and they would jam together at soundchecks, in which these recordings were born. Trifecta's new fifteen-song album begins with the grand, high-energy opener "Clean Up On Aisle Five," as you instantly notice the chemistry between these musicians. The sound shifts slightly to a more jazz fusion based melody on "Check Engine Light," while "Photo Molecule" gets down and funky with its rhythm section. Trifecta return to the rock side of the their music with the swift drum rolls and spaced-out keyboards of "Venn Diagram," before settling down into the more laid-back, smooth, jazzy groove of "Sally Doo-Dally." I feel that they could have extended the jam of "Have You Seen What My Neighbors Are Doing?," as the rhythm and overall feel of the song just vibes on all cylinders. Nick Beggs adds some vocals to "Pavlov's Dog Killed Schrodinger's Cat," which feels very calming and mellow, a great tune to just sit back and relax to. Trifecta finish their new album with more calming sounds in the form of "Dry Martini" and the all-out jazz fusion of "Hold It Like That."

Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist Giancarlo Erra recently released his latest project titled "Departure Tapes." The album consists of only six tracks, which as Giancarlo puts it are more "experimental," as he wrote these songs on a trip between the UK and Italy and then improvised the music in the studio, in order to make each track unique. These songs revolve around the subject of loss, as Giancarlo was dealing with the death of his father from cancer while writing and performing these songs. The album begins with "Dawn Tape," as the music is the perfect soundtrack to the morning sunrise at the beginning of a new day of adventures. The music get slightly darker in tone during the short 3-minute "169 Tape," before takin you on the mellow, ambient soundscapes of "Unwound Tape." The album closes with a nearly seventeen-minute adventure in the form of "Departure Tape," which continues to grow and expand with each new layer of sound, along with the subtle shifts of "A Blues For My Father." This set of new music from Giancarlo Erra is available on vinyl and as a CD/DVD, which includes a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album.

Gaetano's finger-picking skills are on point with the positive island vibes of "Blue Ionosphere."

Arriving August 27th is the tenth studio album from the country/Americana band, I See Hawks In LA. Their new release titled "On Our Way" was recorded during the pandemic in the safest way possible, by sending drum tracks, vocals, guitar tracks and everything else through phones and using ProTools to bring all the music together. This recording was also a "life raft" for everyone in the band, who needed an outlet from the craziness of the lockdown and to be able to record new music was a saving grace for I See Hawks In LA.

The album begins with the swift acoustic strumming and violins of "Might've Been Me," which starts things off on a positive note.

Saxophonist Gary Meek is very well-known throughout the jazz community, having performed on over 200 albums, including six of his own. The pandemic allowed Meek to put together a new quartet for his latest project "Monterey Groove," which will be released August 27th, through Autumn Hill Records.

The song is a dedication to the German bass player Eberhard Weber, who was a huge influence on Lyle Mays, as well as his collaborator Pat Metheny. The song begins with the subtle hints of a melody played out on the keys, before more musical layers are added, which also increases the volume of the music. During the middle of the composition, Mays' piano work gets more intense with the support of bass, synthesizers, shakers and the angelic vocals of Aubrey Johnson, Rosana Eckert and Gary Eckert.

Doug "Cosmo" Clifford & Steve Wright Team-up For The First Release From Cosmo's Vault

Drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford was a founding member of one of the biggest bands in rock history, Creedence Clearwater Revival. From 1968 to 1972, the band produced seven hit albums and performed at Woodstock and the Atlanta Pop Festival in 1969. As CCR's reign was coming to a close in the early seventies, Doug Clifford would still perform with fellow band mate Stu Cook and produce albums for other bands. Also during this time Clifford would write whole albums worth of new music to be recorded by an all-star line-up of performers, but the albums would be tucked-away in the vault, to be released another day.

Fast-forward to 2021 and the first release from Cosmo's Vault will be released on August 28th. This new album titled "For All The Money In The World," finds Doug teaming up with his long-time friend Steve Wright (Greg Kihn Band) for a solid rhythm section that would support a line-up that included guitarists Joe Satriani, Greg Douglass (Steve Miller Band), Jimmy Lyon (Eddie Money) just to name a few. The lead vocals of the album would be handled by new comer Keith England, along with keyboardists Tim Gorman (The Who) and Pat Mosca (Greg Kihn Band) to round-out the group.

This new eleven song release begins with the swinging, contemporary pop of "For All The Money In The World," which carries a nostalgic feel to the music. England's vocals lead the way on the up-tempo rocker "I Need Your Love" and the follow-up track "She Told Me So," as your pulse will surely quicken. The power of "Real Love" feels like it would have climbed up the charts a few decades ago with its addictive chorus and stellar all-star line-up of musicians. The album wraps up with the fun, up-beats sounds of "Weekends," along with the searing guitar riffs of "Lonesome Boy" and the full-throttle energy of "You're Gonna Love Again."
