"The End of The End" chronicles the final tour from the band that spawned the metal genre--BLACK SABBATH. On February, 4 2017, BLACK SABBATH stormed the stage in e U.K. in their hometown of Birmingham, to play the 81st and final triumphant gig of "The End" tour. This monumental show brought down the curtain on a career that spanned almost half a century. The sold-out performance marked the culmination of a global tour that saw the band play to over one and a half million fans. With their inception in 1968, BLACK SABBATH pioneered a sound that would form the basis of heavy metal, and to this day continues to influence bands the world over. The film brings fans the up close and personal story of the final, emotionally charged concert, as the band perform hits including "Iron Man," "Paranoid," "War Pigs" and many more. BLACK SABBATH are also seen in the studio, as they deliver unique and exclusive performances of some of their favorite songs not played on the tour, and catch an intimate glimpse into the band's world: the music, relationships and banter, alongside personal anecdotes. The band said: "To bring it all back home after all these years was pretty special. It was so hard to say goodbye to the fans, who've been incredibly loyal to us through the years. We never dreamed in the early days that we'd be here 49 years later doing our last show on our home turf." "The End of The End" offers viewers the chance to witness BLACK SABBATH's swansong. As OZZY says, "What a journey we've all had. It's fucking amazing." This is the final word from the greatest heavy metal band of all time. Marc Allenby from Trafalgar Releasing said: "Trafalgar Releasing are excited to be expanding our music events with the legendary band, BLACK SABBATH, and their final ever historic show. We look forward to collaborating with Eagle Rock andBLACK SABBATH's management on 'The End of the End'." For one night only on September 28 2017, over 1,500 cinemas worldwide will be showing a specially edited version of "Black Sabbath: The End Of The End." The film will be distributed to cinemas worldwide by Trafalgar Releasing on September 28 and will include the historic final gig as well as unprecedented behind the scenes access to the band, filmed by director Dick Carruthers (Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day, Imagine Dragons: Smoke + Mirrors Live). "The End, Live In Birmingham" will be released in various formats later this year. Tickets are now on sale worldwide with more cinemas to follow soon.

Juanita Stein Announces Fall Tour, Support for The Killers
JUANITA STEIN ANNOUNCESINTERNATIONAL FALL TOUR
CONFIRMS SUPPORT FORTHE KILLERS' UK DATES
NEW ALBUM AMERICA OUT NOWON HANDWRITTEN RECORDS
Following the warmly received release of her solo debut, America, Juanita Stein has confirmed an international fall tour. Dates include a support run with The Killers in the UK as well as several headline US dates. Stein will make key stops in Austin, New York City, Philadelphia and Nashville. The Howling Bells frontwoman-turned-solo artist released America on Handwritten Records earlier this summer to critical delight. All dates are listed below.
"Beneath the surface runs a current of unease - none more prevalent than on the dislocated and slightly psychedelic Black Winds or the dream-filled Stargazer, while the gentler Patsy Cline. Stein sounds like she’s coming of age on this album, addressing both her past and her future, and mostly liking what she sees…" -Q
“It’s the voice that grabs you… A wonderfully lucid piece of songwriting, emotion lingering on each note”- Clash “…(her) softly crooning voice sounding as compelling as ever before” - Gold Flake Paint “It simply is just the start of a long-lasting love affair” - The Revue

America Tracklisting: FlorenceDark HorseBlack WindsI'll CryStargazerShimmeringSomeone Else’s DimeIt’s All WrongNot ParadiseCold ComfortAmerica.More About America and Juanita Stein...
Juanita Stein says, "This record is an ode to the dark heart of America. Of times gone and times to come. Dusty trails, a whimsical 50s suburbia and the haze of the 1960s. I've forever idealised American life - growing up in Australia we were fed the American dream through film and television. The dichotomy between what was real and a dream is forever intriguing to me. The music of Roy Orbison, Dusty Springfield, Lee and Nancy and Patsy Cline all informed my musical sensibilities. They opened up this wide screen universe for me.”
An evocative and beautiful record, Stein’s honeyed voice weaves stories of heartbreak and optimism, from the unmistakably Western-influenced Dark Horse, to the moody love song, I’ll Cry. Florence is inspired by a real-life photograph by Dorothea Langue, taken during the Great Depression, of the eponymous Florence Owens Thompson. The songs on the LP tell tales of characters real and imagined, Stein’s own experiences woven amongst them.
Juanita Stein grew up in Sydney with her parents and twin brothers. Her first studio recording was aged five, singing on a song of her father’s, and Peter Stein in fact wrote one of the songs on the album, the country music-drenched Cold Comfort (read Juanita talking about Peter on the brilliant My Old Manblog here).
Stein formed Howling Bells with her brother, Joel, and friends when they moved to London together in 2004. Four acclaimed albums followed, along with headline tours and festival shows around the world, and huge support dates including several US tours with Coldplay and The Killers. A break from Howling Bells around the arrival of her first child saw the first shoots of her solo work start to emerge, and now we find ourselves here. America, an unpredictable place, forever bound up in a uniquely widescreen hope and romance.
America came out to considerable acclaim in July, hitting the UK’s Top 10 Record Store and Americana charts following its release. Stein has so far played festival shows including in London’s Hyde Park and at Cambridge Folk Festival, as well as headline dates in Brighton and London, in support of its release.

Captured Tracks' Lina Tullgren Reveals New Track, Debut LP 'Won' Out 9/22 + Tour
Lina Tullgren
New Album Cut “Get Lost” Revealed via COLLiDE Today
Debut Album, Won, Out 9/22 On Captured Tracks
Won LP Pre-Order: iTunes | Bandcamp

"Lina Tullgren’s First Album Is Going To Be So Good" - FADER
"Lina Tullgren brings a dark, moody air to her songs and arrangements that gives them an unsettling edge that also draws you in." - BrooklynVegan
“Her haunting melodies and intimacy conveyed through her introspective lyrics has us on the edge of our seats for the full release. “ - COLLiDE
Lina Tullgren’s highly anticipated debut album Won is set for releaseSeptember 22 on Captured Tracks. It is the product of what happens when you push past the fear of what it means to think out loud – to become accountable for your internal struggles by way of manifesting your ideas into songs that are then free to grow apart from you, to exist on their own while always remaining specifically implicative of you. On new album track “Get Lost”, Tullgren turns the table on herself by investing in that scary, intimate moment when one rids themselves of diversion and looks squarely and honestly into the mirror. “Get Lost” debuted with COLLiDE and is available to post/share HERE . Previously, she shared hauntingly moody album cut “Fitchburg State” via BrooklynVegan and debuted album single “ Asktell ” and announced the album with FADER .
STREAM “GET LOST” HERE
Won envelopes listeners with the idea of “home” and “homecoming” - - whether that means a relationship, a physical space, a mentality, or emotion is up to the listener. With 2016’s Wishlist EP – recorded to tape at the home of band mate Ty Ueda – Lina proved an ability to craft simple, introspective and succinct songs, each one a pulsing glow leaving you both hollow and whole, alone but never lonely. It is on Lina’s debut album Won that we reap the full rewards of this newfound confidence in expression and rejection of internal hesitation. It is clear throughout that Lina’s awareness of her internal shift is folded into every corner of these songs. The move towards working with a full band, the deliberate force with which her often quiveringly raw vocals are delivered, and the lyrics themselves, are all constantly functioning to process and take stock of an updated self.
Hailing from Southern Maine, the 23 year old found herself a voice with the electric guitar, uniquely flavored and shaped from the many years of fiddle lessons and classical technique. Now backed by a full band, each track manages to remain piercingly intimate, sometimes brief, and always honest, while gaining a wholly new sense of gestation both sonically and lyrically. At a certain point, growth is not just a process of replacing old selves with new, but often simply an act of expansion. Won, in many ways, continues to dig through Lina’s preoccupation with the search for home.

"Lina Tullgren’s First Album Is Going To Be So Good" - FADER
"Lina Tullgren brings a dark, moody air to her songs and arrangements that gives them an unsettling edge that also draws you in." - BrooklynVegan
“Her haunting melodies and intimacy conveyed through her introspective lyrics has us on the edge of our seats for the full release. “ - COLLiDE
Lina Tullgren’s highly anticipated debut album Won is set for releaseSeptember 22 on Captured Tracks. It is the product of what happens when you push past the fear of what it means to think out loud – to become accountable for your internal struggles by way of manifesting your ideas into songs that are then free to grow apart from you, to exist on their own while always remaining specifically implicative of you. On new album track “Get Lost”, Tullgren turns the table on herself by investing in that scary, intimate moment when one rids themselves of diversion and looks squarely and honestly into the mirror. “Get Lost” debuted with COLLiDE and is available to post/share HERE . Previously, she shared hauntingly moody album cut “Fitchburg State” via BrooklynVegan and debuted album single “ Asktell ” and announced the album with FADER .
STREAM “GET LOST” HERE
Won envelopes listeners with the idea of “home” and “homecoming” - - whether that means a relationship, a physical space, a mentality, or emotion is up to the listener. With 2016’s Wishlist EP – recorded to tape at the home of band mate Ty Ueda – Lina proved an ability to craft simple, introspective and succinct songs, each one a pulsing glow leaving you both hollow and whole, alone but never lonely. It is on Lina’s debut album Won that we reap the full rewards of this newfound confidence in expression and rejection of internal hesitation. It is clear throughout that Lina’s awareness of her internal shift is folded into every corner of these songs. The move towards working with a full band, the deliberate force with which her often quiveringly raw vocals are delivered, and the lyrics themselves, are all constantly functioning to process and take stock of an updated self.
Hailing from Southern Maine, the 23 year old found herself a voice with the electric guitar, uniquely flavored and shaped from the many years of fiddle lessons and classical technique. Now backed by a full band, each track manages to remain piercingly intimate, sometimes brief, and always honest, while gaining a wholly new sense of gestation both sonically and lyrically. At a certain point, growth is not just a process of replacing old selves with new, but often simply an act of expansion. Won, in many ways, continues to dig through Lina’s preoccupation with the search for home.

Jessica Boudreaux, leader of Kill Rock Stars’ fiery garage-rock ensembleSummer Cannibals, has announced her debut solo effort, No Fury , releasedNovember 3. When crafting her debut solo effort Boudreaux collaborated with Hutch Harris of Portland no-fi legends The Thermals who co-wrote five tracks and produced the record. Maintaining the brooding bite that she has become known for, on No Fury Boudreaux replaced the wailing riffs and pounding drums with intricate guitar melodies and creatively incorporated pop synths.
Brimming with pop hooks and fiery lyrics, No Fury packs an emotional punch. It is incredibly danceable while at the same time filled with anger and a bittersweet sadness. Co-written with and featuring back-up vocals by The Thermals’ Hutch Harris, lead single “Televised” takes a reflective look at relationship, asserting accountability & truth in what happens between two people. With a driving bass line that commands listeners to move “Televised” is a blistering summer jam. The “Televised” video debuted with Blackbook Magazine and is available to post/share HERE .
Collaborating with recording engineer Victor Nash, who tracked much of the album at his sci-fi themed studio Destination: Universe in Portland, No Fury is a pop collection filtered through the eyes and ears of a true rocker. The album serves as an homage to the pop idols of her childhood (Madonna, Britney Spears) and a companion of her current contemporaries (Tegan and Sara, Carly Rae Jepsen). No Fury is a unique peek into the influences, desires, and ultimately, the pure pop heart of Jessica Boudreaux.

WARBLY JETS RELEASE MANIACAL "SHAPESHIFTER" || UK TOUR STARTS TONIGHT
RELEASE MANIACAL "SHAPESHIFTER"
TRACK INSPIRED BY CRONENBERG SCI-FI/HORROR FLICK VIDEODROMEUK TOUR STARTS TONIGHT WITH LONDON RESIDENCY
ALBUM RELEASE SHOW AT THE MOROCCAN LOUNGE IN LA ON OCT 19 SELF-TITLED DEBUT OUT OCTOBER 20
Photo: Moni Haworth"Warbly Jets make the kind of attitude-heavy, riffy psych-rock that recalls early ’00s Primal Scream,
The Dandy Warhols and The Soundtrack of Our Lives.”
- Brooklyn Vegan
“Gutsy, melodic and catchy-as-hell”
- Matt Wilkinson, Beats 1
New York, NY (September 5, 2017) – Warbly Jets are an LA quartet that don't fit comfortably into a scene… they exist into out in the ether, caught somewhere between yesterday and today, where massive rock melodies brush up against skittish breakbeats and laser-guided synth lines. The band' self-titled debut will release on October 20 and after teasing three singles from the album, now they've released the maniacal "Shapeshifter".
The track was inspired by the Cronenberg science fiction/horror flick Videodrome and is an aggressive anthem equivalent to brushing your teeth with a belt sander.
"We wanted something incredibly aggressive to polarize the songs that were ending up more strings-centric,” says Julien O’Neill (synths/guitar). "I put it all together in a damp, dripping space on Hollywood and Vine and Sam concocted a vicious noise solo on synth that brought it all home."
"The key changes make you feel like you're trying to walk a tight rope after getting spun around on an merry go round,” add vocalist Samuel Shea. "To me the lyrics have always been about and inevitable force throwing a personal equilibrium out of balance."

Belle Game Share New Single “
Bring Me
” w/
BlackBook
Fear/Nothing LP Out 9/8 On Arts & Crafts
National Tour w/ Broken Social Scene
"Spine-chilling ... a thrilling anthem of self-possession and emotional fearlessness" – BlackBook
"A shimmering, sparkling take that would make the perfect summer road trip soundtrack"– W Magazine
"Lo's voice is an expansive, powerful instrument that demands to be noticed" – Pitchfork
"Reminisces upon youthful encounters with narcissism, codependency and habitual lies" – Rolling Stone

In anticipation of their sophomore album Fear/Nothing slated for release September 8th on Arts & Crafts, Vancouver’s Belle Game share new single “ Bring Me ” withBlackBook today. Highlighted by haunting atmospherics, the track builds to a powerful chorus and further enforces the band’s unique ability to weave ethereal soundscapes into blown-out, crush-pop confections. About the track, frontwoman Andrea Lo comments:
“‘Bring Me’ is about ending passive behaviour. It’s a display of tenacity, resilience, and self-assurance over learned patterns of compliance, conformity and service to others. ‘See what I can do’ stands out as an important line to me as it taunts my past with a sense of mastery over what was once timing.”Fear/Nothing is a ten-track collection produced by Dave Hamelin (The Stills) and executive producer Kevin Drew (Broken Social Scene). A record of lush compositions, Belle Game combines the sweeping ethereal pop of the Cocteau Twins with the energetic vocal-driven melodies of genre-defying artists like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Jessy Lanza. Belle Game previously shared singles “Spirit” (via W Magazine) and “Low.”
Upon the release of their debut album Ritual Tradition Habit, the band earned critical praise from the likes of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork, while their emotional live performances prompted Paste Magazine to name them one of the “10 Great New Bands of CMJ.”
From hushed anthems to distorted instrumentals, Fear/Nothing sees the band teetering between two worlds. Whatever the mood, it’s always a celebration of the hard times and a refusal of fear. Belle Game will hit the road for a full North American tour as lead support for Broken Social Scene. See below for a full date listing + tickets are availablehere.
