Hey Anna drops “Pompette” EP!
“Hey Anna”, a blossoming New York area based band, brings you the salty shores of the coasts and the fast-paced excitement of the city. The band came to life when 3 sisters–who’ve been making music together since since before they could eat solid food–met up with two long-time best friends in an overheated 8 by 8 practice room in Newark, NJ. The result: a mixture of intimate vocal harmonies perched atop poppy melodies that meet soaring, atmospheric alt rock.

PARKWAY DRIVE premiere “WILD EYES” Clip
Parkway Drive have released a brand new video for their track, “Wild Eyes” from their chart topping album, Atlas. A follow up to their wildly successful video “Dark Days” which has over 3.6 million views and precludes the new video, “Wild Eyes” depicts the dismal future of the world in a post-apocalyptic live show setting.
Check out the video below…
“This video basically continues on where “Dark Days” left off” says Ben Gordon who notes that both videos were the concept of director Aaron Hymes. “Dark Days” was commentary on present day and showed the worlds state of environmental Crisis. “Wild Eyes” is set in the near future, after the World has been destroyed by man.”
Gordon goes on to say, “the lyrical concept of “Wild Eyes” deals with inevitable the end of the world and the impact of our actions so we ran with that idea pretty literally, taking inspiration from post-apocalyptic images portrayed through films over the years. We are all stoked on this video!”
Atlas, the bands fourth studio album achieved Gold status earlier this year.

David Bridie Releases Album ‘Wake’ + Tour Announcement
we’re washing in dirty water
cause we never flaunt our assets or our business schemes
