Family Pet features on PunkNews’ ‘Bullshit Collector’ Compilation for Cassette Store Day 2017

Punknews is absolutely THRILLED to announce that we will be taking part in Cassette Store Day 2017! We’ll be releasing a tape!

Cassette Store Day is an international event where record stores and other cool shops sell tapes made just for that day. CSD 2017 is October 14 and, in the USA, it’s being organized by cassette champions Burger Records. Check out all the neat tapes being released on CSD site here!

For our part, we’re releasing a 30 band compilation that includes some of our favorite new, up-and-coming, and unsigned bands! It’s called Bullshit Collector! In contrast to the “Punknews Mixtape” series which has bands from all eras, Bullshit Collector focuses mostly on the newer stuff. (We threw in a few obscure tunes for good measure.) As is our style, it’s mixed like a Hip Hop mixtape, includes intros, outros, and skits, and it’s hosted by punk rock’s two hottest turntablists: DJ Johnny G and Dynamite Adam White!

Karen Pittelman from Karen & the Sorrows Creates Playlist Exclusively for B-Sides & Badlands

Welcome to Playlists, a series where we turn over the reigns to artists to curate the next big playlist

“There are two kinds of people in the world: normal people who listen to a song once or twice and then move on, and weirdos who put a song on repeat for an hour, a day or sometimes even a week,” Karen Pittelman, lead singer of Americana outfit Karen & the Sorrows, quips. As a “proud weird,” she found herself obsessing over a collection of songs, enshrined in hooky melodies, haunting musicianship and universally-daunting songwriting. “I thought I’d share a few of the songs I’ve been playing again and again…and again lately,” she adds.

 Pittelman’s playlist, exclusively on B-Sides & Badlands, spans fellow country outliers and pop/rock icons to one audacious purveyor of venomous, well-whipped lyricism. Enjoy one essential track from Lilly Hiatt‘s latest album, along with entries from Silversun Pickups, Gillian Welch, Radiohead and Stevie Wonder. The vocalist and talented player walks us through each song, detailing personal enlightenment and exactly why she just can’t move on.

Derek Hoke Featured on Americana UK

Derek Hoke is a singer-songwriter based in East Nashville but this is not a straightforward Nashville album. A commentary on the dark times he feels are engulfing the States, it was nurtured from fleeting thoughts recorded with a tape-recorder whilst driving at night on the Tenessee blacktop to full album status with the assistance of several friends including the likes of Aaron Lee Tasjan to name but one.

A vague country rock feel permeates the disc but their are some quite gorgeous moments that grab the listener. The strings on ‘I’m Just A Man’ are delicious and really heighten its dense hothouse feel.

Kansas City’s The Pitch premieres Fred Wickham’s new single, “Mariosa Delta”

It’s been 16 years since Hadacol’s second and final album, All In Your Head. The band broke up shortly after its release, and it never really got the attention its predecessor, Better Than This, did. Since then, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, Fred Wickham, hasn’t exactly been absent from music — he plays with classic country cover band Kasey Rausch & the Naughty Pines, as well as performing as Scott Hrabko’s guitarist. Hadacol even reunited in 2010 and plays the occasional show around town.

Wickham has returned to recording after a lengthy break, and his debut solo album, Mariosa Delta, comes out Friday, September 29. It’s a rootsy affair — which should be unsurprising to anyone who has followed Wickham. Still, the elements from which he draws this time are, in a word, older.

“I was listening to a lot of Count Basie stuff at the time,” Wickham says. Jazz, he adds, “is not my bag, but I kinda had a little bit of that in my head, maybe.”

Much like the Mariosa Delta itself, where the Maries and Osage rivers meet, the album combines blues, jazz, and country into toe-tapping yet introspective songs. But the history on Mariosa Delta isn’t only in its musical reference points. The songs center on the story of Wickham’s grandmother Vivian and her husband’s brother Jim being gunned down by a jealous husband in front of the nightclub owned by Vivian and her husband.

Mariosa Delta has been in the works for quite some time — even Wickham says he’s no longer quite sure when it started. (One marker: The album was produced by Lou Whitney, who died two years ago.)

“We didn’t spend a whole lot of time on the record,” Wickham says. “It just took a long time to finish it, because things got in the way.”

When Whitney was diagnosed with cancer, he and Wickham could mix only one song at a time. But the patience is audible in a sound that recalls listeners vintage Band or Randy Newman.

“I’ve been listening to Randy Newman all my life — a lot!” Wickham says with a laugh. “When I was in high school, I had his poster in my bedroom. Now, when I was sitting around writing all this stuff, I wasn’t rediscovering Randy Newman, by any means, but he’s always been there.” READ MORE…

Wide Open Country premieres Fred Wickham’s new single, “I Don’t Have to Like It”

Fred Wickham’s “I Don’t Have to Like It,” from forthcoming solo debut Mariosa Delta, is a tantalizing tale of loss. It’s also the bittersweet end of a Midwestern alt-country staple’s career, following the 2014 death of producer Lou Whitney.

The song tells of regretful farewells and emotional vulnerabilities, with each gut-wrenching verse punctuated by barroom piano riffs. At its core sits a songwriter, strumming his acoustic guitar while spilling his heart for all who might listen.

“I Don’t Have to Like It” is one of my favorite cuts on the record,” Wickham tells Wide Open Country. “The rhythm section paces the song perfectly—its dramatic without sounding melodramatic. I like the way the band exercises the restraint the singer is pretending to have, when in fact, unlike the musicians, he’s actually falling apart.  This song owes a lot to producer Lou Whitney. He was the best.”

Although such lines as “I don’t mind saying it, I hate to see you go,” work as lamentations of a shunned lover, they took on new meaning after Whitney’s death.

Whitney died at age 71 following a battle with terminal cancer. The veteran Missouri musician’s production and engineering credits include releases by Wilco and Robbie Fulks. Whitney also produced both albums by Wickham’s prior band, Hadacol.

“He was a huge name among all those dedicated people who love Americana music,”  says Wickham. “He was just an incredible character. If you met him and spent any time with him, you would say, ‘That’s one of the most interesting people I’ve ever been around.’”

Wickham’s solo debut comes 16 years after the dissolution of Hadacol, an alt-country band that also featured his brother Greg. That’s a mighty long stretch of living for a songwriter with a talent for basing narratives on triumphs and sorrows. For instance, Wickham became a new father recently, adding a heightened sense of joy to his life and songs. He’s also wrestling with a late-life admission by his deceased grandmother, whose shocking tale of her brother-in-law’s murder at a family-owned club inspired the title track.

For another taste of what Mariosa Delta has in store for listeners, check out the toe-tapping fiddle tune “You Don’t Need Me.” The album arrives Sept. 29 via Thirty Days Records. READ MORE…

Nasty Gal premieres Misty Boyce’s new video for “Oh Marie”

Misty Boyce is one of those musicians that I’d seen around town before I knew her as a solo artist. And by “seen around,” I mean that I saw her on-stage with BØRNS at Coachella 2016, holding down the keys and wailing on the harmonies in a taupe suede skirt. Set yourself a reminder, because she is about to release her next (woman-produced!) full-length album—called “Get Lost”—on February 16th, 2018.

Yes, that is so, so far away! But never fear, because she is releasing her perfectly cloudy-weather single “Oh, Marie” today, jam-packed with matriarchal angst and the desire to connect. And we are premiering the beautiful and affecting video, made by a brilliant group of white-haired young women in Sweden, right here.

Misty on making the video: “I remembered that a really talented young Børns fan named Sandra Trillkott had made a rad video for one of my older songs… So I approached her about it, and she took the idea I had (which was “Girl, Interrupted” meets mental hospital meets women wrestling with each other and themselves on many levels) and ran with it, with the help of her sister and a bunch of talented girl friends where they live in Sweden.” READ MORE
