Haulix New Music Recommendations for October 16, 2020

New Music - October 16

Whether you’re looking for breakdowns of the musical or emotional variety, these new music picks have something for you.

Life will probably never be the same as it was before the COVID pandemic took the world by storm. Mourning the loss of the world we knew is normal, but it’s important to recognize all the good that continues to exist. Each new week brings us music that has the potential to change countless lives, and this week’s batch of new releases is no exception. There are too many good records for us to mention, but here are four we believe everyone should experience.

Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown – Pressure (Snakefarm/Spinefarm)

Tyler Bryant has nothing left to prove. After a decade of constant touring and recording, the rock meets blues talent has built a fervent following that any artist would desire. His marketing talents are only outmatched by his musical output, which has been consistently inspiring. Pressure finds a perfect balance between old school aesthetics and a modern outlook that understands our collective yearning for freedom. It’s a fitting soundtrack for quarantine, combining the frustrations of the year with inspiring anthems that will make you want to drive fast and break laws. We wouldn’t blame you for getting into trouble while this plays, but please, don’t blame us for whatever happens next.

Mayday Parade – Out of Here EP (Rise Records)

Emo icons Mayday Parade refuses to rely on the successful output of their past to define the people that they are today. No one would blame the Florida-based rockers for becoming a modern legacy act, touring into irrelevance with greatest hits sets, but the band continues to push forward. As the title infers, Out Of Here plays like the blueprint to an escape plan that listeners will hatch as the EP unfolds. We expect every song on this release to appear in the band’s 2021 setlist, so you better start learning the words now.

Molasses – Through The Hollow (Season of Mist)

Through The Hollow is a constant reminder that the search for artistic greatness is never-ending. The first full-length release from a group of industry veterans, the record revels in the journey that is creativity. The record is both haunting and enchanting, pulling listeners into a world wherever anything is possible, and everything is on the table. It’s the kind of immersive listening experience that all artists strive to deliver, and we imagine anyone who partakes will have a hard time walking away. Through The Hollow will stick with you like muscles to bone.

Lost Symphony – Chapter II (XOFF Records)

Every corner of music has reached a saturation point where virtually any new artist falls in line with someone or more than one talent that came before them. Finding something boldly original is the dream of any genre fan, and the answer for hard rock fans lies in Lost Symphony. A supergroup of sorts, the band combines metal and classical music styles to create a wholly original sound. It’s symphonic, yes, but it’s also far more commercial than any group typically carrying that title. When listeners put on the band’s latest work, Chapter II, they embark on a sonic odyssey they won’t want to quit.

Chapter II is an essential record. Not for metal fans, but everyone. Don’t think twice. Dive in and let Lost Symphony carry you far away from the hellscape that is 2020.

Inside Music Podcast #166: Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown

Notable rock and roll star Tyler Bryant stops by Inside Music to discuss success and survival in the modern music business.

What makes someone a rockstar? Previous generations would say a rockstar is someone whose song is on the radio at all times of the day, whose face is plastered on bedroom walls of teenagers everywhere, and whose very existence often appears to straddle the line between reality and myth. Rockstars were, for a long time, more than human. They were Gods who blessed devoted rock listeners with songs meant to lift them from the mundanity of modern existence and give them a few minutes of sweet relief.

Today’s rockstars are a decidedly different breed. Rock is no longer the dominant force in music, and even the biggest stars of today must compete for airplay against the reigning champs of the genre. For every new group that finds themselves in rotation at a notable station, there are dozens of ‘must play’ catalog songs they have to compete against for airplay. The same goes for playlists, festivals, and touring.

Tyler Bryant is arguable the closest thing to a classic rockstar we have in the world of reasonably new music. Though he has been active since 2009, Byrant has consistently been labeled a ‘star on the rise’ by major publications around the world. He and his band, The Shakedown, have opened for everyone in the genre that matters. They’ve spent a year with Guns ‘N Roses, rubbed shoulders with Foo Fighters, and even found themselves mentioned by members of Aerosmith as being one of their favorite acts.

Furthermore, Tyler Bryant never slows down. If he’s not on the road, Bryant is in the studio, and as soon as he’s done in the studio he returns to the road. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown is an unstoppable force in a world where rock bands are often considered a dying breed, and they refuse to give up their passion no matter what cultural analysts and tastemakers claim.

Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown’s latest release, Truth And Lies, celebrates the crossroads of rock and blues with a catchiness that is impossible to deny. It’s a fitting break from the repetition found throughout the industry, and it heralds the dawn of a return to form for rock purists everywhere.

On this episode of INSIDE MUSIC, rock and roll savior Tyler Bryant stops by to discuss his decade-long career on the cusp of superstardom. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown have opened for every living rock legend, and along the way, they’ve learned how to build a lasting career in the treacherous world of entertainment. Host James Shotwell asks Tyler about his experiences, as well as his advice for the next generation of music stars.
