It’s clobberin’ time as the legendary NYC hardcore pioneers, SICK OF IT ALL, have returned with an absolutely crushing new full-length album that is going to once again redefine the genre they helped create. The vicious new offering, Based On A True Story, is now available everywhere. The band are extremely excited to announce their first West Coast shows in years, which will be taking place this summer with Alpha and Omega, 50 Lions and Trash Talk in the supporting slots. Head over now to www.myspace.com/sickofitallny in order to stream new tracks and to view their complete touring itinerary. 
SICK OF IT ALL also brings the pain as their latest single “Death or Jail” soundtracks the hard hitting fisticuffs of UFC Undisputed 2010. Check out the trailer:

Lou (vocals) states: “We are very excited to get back on the road. Especially to be getting back to the West Coast. It’s been too long. We have a lot of friends and fans that have been waiting patiently for us to come back. Well that was until the new album came out. Then the e-mails and messages were more like ‘you can’t make an album like this and not come out here to play them live’ and we totally agree. We can’t wait to get out there and sweat it out with everyone. The new set we’ve put together has a great flow. Hits you hard and keeps going and will have you singing along from start to finish. It’s a great mix of old and new songs so start brushing up on those lyrics. I don’t think anyone will be disappointed. See you in the pit.”
Armand (drums) further comments: “We just announced a West Coast tour and are psyched to be coming out again to play some of our favorite cities in America – places that have never lost their passion for hardcore and have kept it alive and kicking. Places like Seattle, San Francisco, LA, Santa Barbara, San Diego, as well as new budding scenes like in Victorville. With the awesome support package of Alpha and Omega, 50 Lions and Trash Talk, these shows promise to be something really special. We’ll be mixing it up, playing songs from every stage of our career and showcasing some brand new songs from “Based on a True Story,” our new release which we’re all very proud of. It’s been too long since we’ve been out west, and hopefully we can make this a more common occurrence.”

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
