New video Tim Barry

By ScrXtch

Tim Barry released his fourth album 40 Miler on April 10th. The former frontman of punk rock band Avail started his solo project in 2004, featured on the Revival Tour alongside Chuck Ragan and Ben Nichols and now has a video for “Driver Pull”.

Barry’s change from punk rock to folk and country might be the biggest of all the punkrockers-gone-solo, as you don’t really hear any punk rock influences. Still, in his lyrics his punk roots do show. Take a listen to his other albums too, and you’ll hear the same punk attitude. You can check out the video for “Driver Pull” here.

Replacements Groezrock

By ScrXtch

There has been some shifting in the Groezrock line-up. I Am The Avalanche had to cancel, so Hostage Calm moved into their spot on the Etnies Stage. That meant they aren’t playing an acoustic set anymore, so two slots opened. Curious who Groezrock pulled in for the Fender Acoustic Stage?

Milwaukee Wildmen unique radio liveset

The Dutch psychobilly/rockabilly band Milwaukee Wildmen will perform an acoustic set on Dutch local radio station LocalFM during Local Popscene on Friday the 13th. The threesome has been together for more than 15 years and has released six albums, with Strike Back in 2006 as their latest.

The band has gained a big fanbase worldwide and is hugely popular in Russia and Germany. Before going on tour with Cenobites in Germany again at the end of April, they have a pitstop at LocalFM for an interview and acoustic performance.
The broadcast can be followed through a live-stream on the site of LocalFM. Milwaukee Wildmen will be in the studio at 8:15 PM Central European Time (CET).
