"INFECTED" expresses a powerful mix of internal suffering, emotional numbness, societal disillusionment, and ultimately, a desperate plea for awakening and self liberation. It’s about hitting rock bottom mentally and emotionally and realizing the need to rise, see the truth, and take back control from the forces internal or external that have taken over our lives. As we put the music video together, I loved the characters inspired by John Carpenter’s “They Live” as a metaphor for the monster in each of us that can only be seen in glimpses and when you are aware of them.

The band has officially announced their 2025 U.S. Tour, a full-throttle run of dates that promises to deliver the kind of high-voltage rock ’n’ roll that only CROBOT can summon.

Every stop on this tour will be a full-on CROBOT experience — sweat, riffs, and sonic resurrection included.

The track is a haunting, cinematic anthem that fuses hard rock swagger with raw emotional gravity — marking one of Deimer’s most compelling collaborations to date. The video has scenes from Kurt's upcoming movie Scared To Death, coming out in early 2026. SCARED TO DEATH WEBSITE HERE KURT DEIMER ABOUT THE SONG "I recently was very lucky to tour with Buckcherry and Josh and the band were really great. Towards the end of this most recent tour, I had been speaking with Josh and he was gracious enough to agree to collaborate on a song together. I had this song I thought he would be perfect on, originally called "He Was Good To Me," and it was about women unfortunately falling prey to men with bad intentions. He listened to it but wanted to re-do the lyrics. The song now is about how you can get in to a relationship and you are in it too deep. You gotta watch out for those situations. It's really about thinking before you act and get too involved." "During the creative process when Josh and I got together at Chris Lord-Alge's studio and I saw Josh in the vocal booth being Josh Todd like he is on stage with Buckcherry and how in to it he was I just knew this had to be my next single. It's a blessing for me to be able to share my art and Josh was more than gracious to help and be a part of this killer tune "In Deep." I hope you all enjoy it. STREAM KURT DEIMER MUSIC HERE  Chicago’s own JON BABIN has kicked open the doors of a new creative chapter with the release of three powerhouse singles — “Bad Omen,” “Never Gonna Be The Same,” and “I’d Follow.” Each track captures a different pulse of Babin’s evolving sound: dark, cinematic, and unapologetically human. Blending the grit of alternative rock with the emotional gravity of modern pop, Babin continues to carve out a lane entirely his own.  Emerging from the electric underbelly of Chicago’s rock scene, NOW ITS DARK have returned to lure listeners into their sonic labyrinth with their mesmerizing new single, “Nymph.” The track is a darkly seductive anthem that blends haunting melodies, cinematic atmosphere, and raw emotional power — the kind of song that doesn’t just play in your head, it takes up permanent residence. With “Nymph,” NOW ITS DARK showcase their signature fusion of shadowy modern rock and sleek, pulse-driven production. The song slithers through tension and release — a seductive whisper one moment, a full-throated eruption the next. It’s a track that feels both intimate and immense, channeling the visceral edge of Killswitch Engage, the ethereal pull of Lacuna Coil, and the emotional gravity of Three Days Grace, yet remaining wholly their own. LISTEN ON: SPOTIFY APPLE MUSIC  "SYSTEM OVERRIDE" paints a picture of a collapsing society through the lens of personal disillusionment and collective struggle. At its core, it’s about mistrust, division, and the breakdown of systems, whether political, social, or spiritual, that once promised stability but now only deliver emptiness and control. The recurring imagery of black & white versus color reflects the loss of hope, imagination, and nuance in a world consumed by conflict and polarization. Where once there may have been shades of possibility, everything now feels rigid, divided, and lifeless. The line “Do you dream in color?” becomes a desperate plea for vision, empathy, and renewal in a society that has grown numb and mechanical. Themes of false leadership and hypocrisy surface throughout: leaders speak of greatness while ignoring suffering, strength is proclaimed while people are oppressed, and overlords exploit the weak. The climax comes with the declaration of “SYSTEM OVERRIDE” and the call for a reset. This is an acknowledgment that the current way of living is unsustainable, and only by breaking down the corrupted system can something new and meaningful rise from the ruins. Overall, "SYSTEM OVERRIDE" conveys both rage and despair, but beneath its bleakness lies a drive for transformation. A recognition that although the present feels hopeless, change is inevitable, and necessary.  The Las Vegas based gold-certified, hard-rock titans, OTHERWISE, triumphantly return with a brand new EP and label home. The infectious, new single/video for the track, “Stop, Drop and Roll (Doesn't Work in Hell),” is a hard driving banger with a massive catchy chorus, which will quickly demand your undivided attention. This also marks the first release under their new partnership with Seek and Strike that culminates with the release of the Some Kind of Alchemy EP out now! The band have gone back to their roots and re-embraced their classic harder rock sound, which is very reminiscent of the vibe of their widely acclaimed debut album. See below to check out the new single and order the EP for free. OTHERWISE states: "Signing with Seek and Strike was honestly a very easy decision for us. The label was co-founded by a dear friend who has believed in the band and our message since our inception. He cares about us and vice versa, which is saying a lot for the music business. “The first single, 'Stop, Drop and Roll (Doesn't Work in Hell),' was initially conceptualized years ago, in the midst of the Iraq War. We thought about the sacrifice of our fellow poet-warriors in military service and the lies that were being propagated to justify the actions of those in power. Another truly beautiful aspect of this release was our chance to reconnect with the incomparable Dave McMahan (our original drummer), who helped us focus all of that early fire into formidable performance art. The raw, sleek simplicity of those days was perfectly captured in the video for the song by its talented director, Lance Gergar. The intro gave us goosebumps the first time we watched it. Plus, for me (Adrian) personally, getting to rock my balls off barefoot in a corporate elevator and NOT get arrested, is a hell of a statement! "Returning to our roots with this EP is truly exciting for us and getting to do it with our friends and family at Seek and Strike is nothing short of righteous. We can’t thank our die-hard fans for all of their continued support and we’re hopeful to add a whole new legion of supporters to the fold with this next release. See you all soon.” ABOUT THE BAND: OTHERWISE have been an unrelenting force in the unforgiving trenches of the music industry, for the past two decades. Consisting of blood brothers Adrian and Ryan Patrick, the powerhouse duo behind the Las Vegas hard rock outfit, they’ve turned scars into anthems and stages into battlefields, earning RIAA Gold Certification for their breakout hit “Soldiers;” a modern rock classic born from the grit of the independent grind. Raised in a city of illusions, the Patrick brothers built something real: a fiercely loyal fanbase they call The Family Wise, bonded not by hype but by heart. Over 250 million streams later, their legacy isn’t just loud, it’s ever-lasting. Through their nonprofit Life By Music, the brothers use their platform to give back, delivering instruments, lessons, and life-changing experiences to at-risk youth and veterans nationwide. Every note they play carries purpose. Every show is a family affair and every song is a battle cry from two brothers who refuse to ever back down.  Brace yourselves, South America — the storm is coming.

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sinister riffs. Unrelenting energy. A voice from the shadows that refuses to be silenced.

ARSENIC KITCHEN'S highly anticipated NEW EP, 'Handbook for the Recently Deceased,' set to drop on October 25th at none other than the Desert Grey Festival in Mesa, Arizona. This event will double as a celebration of their release and they will be performing main stage. The EP will feature a short film that will be released alongside it. Tickets can be purchased HERE  |
