Philadelphia-based folk rock outfit, Slaughter Beach, Dog have returned today with a comforting new track “Strange Weather” via Lame-O Records.

It feels like a song you heard long ago, maybe off in the distant background where you fell in love for the first time, or perhaps in a dream. Lead singer Jake Ewald shared on the new track: “‘Strange Weather’ doing your… Read more »

Fans were super stoked that we may be getting an album or EP in the following months, but then we all know what happened in 2020. Another few years went by… Read more »

Prepare to delve even deeper into the haunting world of Ice Nine Kills‘ acclaimed 2018 studio album, The Silver Scream. Introducing the bone-chilling companion book, ‘The Silver Scream,’ which takes you behind the scenes of a true-crime tragedy drenched in blood, masterminded by the rockstar murderer and Ice Nine Kills vocalist, Spencer Charnas.
