Since their formation in Plano, Texas in 2010, Polyphia have made a name for themselves by blending intricate guitar riffs with hip-hop rhythms, bass-heavy trap music, and progressive metal & rock influences. To date, the group have released four studio albums – Muse (2014), Renaissance (2016), New Levels New Devils (2018) and their latest album Remember That You Will Die (2022). Comprised of guitarists Tim Henson & Scott LePage, bassist Clay Gober, and drummer Clay Aeschliman, Polyphia has evolved into an international force with sold out shows across the globe, hundreds of millions of streams and video views, and a die-hard fan base.
Remember That You Will Die, the fourth studio album from the genre-bending instrumental group, is out now via Rise Records. The album features collaborations with $not, Chino Moreno (Deftones), Brasstracks, Steve Vai, + more. Produced by guitarists Tim Henson & Scott LePage, the album also features production credits from Rodney Jerkins (Michael Jackson, Destiny’s Child, Lady Gaga), JUDGE (Migos & Marshmello, blackbear, Young Thug), the band’s longtime collaborator Y2K (Doja Cat, Remi Wolf, Tove Lo), Johan Lenox (Kanye, FINNEAS), and more on select tracks.
A decade and four full-length albums in, Polyphia are taking over and show no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Bowling for Soup
2023-10-15 20:00 | Knitting Factory, 416 S 9th St, Boise, Idaho, 83702
Mesa, AZ based punk rock royalty AUTHORITY ZERO has managed to weather the music industry storm and endure living on the road away from friends and loved ones for almost 2 decades. With four studio albums under their belt, two live acoustic albums, and two EP’s, they appear to be just getting started. Over the past few years the band has broke ground internationally, beginning with shows in Japan, followed by performances at Belgium’s legendary Groezrock, Spain’s Resurrection Fest and UK’s Rebellion Fest amongst countless other European festivals. With tours through Russia and Australia in the works, AUTHORITY ZERO continues to seek new destinations to spread their live show and music.
Initially their goal was simple; create a sound that paid tribute to their punk rock forefathers, but not confined by the musical barriers that typically bound the genre together. Now,18 years later, they have just wrapped on their fifth full-length studio album. Named after the Malcolm Gladwell book, The Tipping Point was recorded with producer Cameron Webb (Pennywise, Social Distortion, Motorhead etc.) at Maple Studios in California. Their latest effort pays tribute to their punk rock forefathers while expanding their musical boundaries into unconventional reggae and rock tinges beyond the typical punk rock aesthetics, creating a whirlwind rock album that will undoubtedly take listeners by storm.
The new album is set to be released on April 2nd via Hardline Entertainment-US/Canada/Japan, Concrete Jungle-Europe/UK and 3wise Records-Australia and will be followed by a heavy touring schedule around the globe. Lead Singer and Front Man, Jason DeVore says “The excitement and anticipation for the new album The Tipping Point that I have is unparalleled,” says vocalist Jason DeVore. “The closest thing I can think of is how I felt when we first released A Passage In Time so many years ago. You feel you’re really doing something right when you and the members of your band are rocking out to it like it’s their new favorite album that just came out. That’s how it should feel. The energy, the intensity, and collaborative sounds along with a new realm of production working with Cameron Webb has made it extremely intense. It’s a taste of the old school and slingshots into new areas and veins of music we have yet to tap into. We’ve also incorporated some surprise elements. It’s an album based on the idea of tipping the scales, unity, causing a ruckus while forging on, and the history and future of all who have been involved and will be for years to come. We’re fired up.”
Eighteen years into their storied career began and Authority Zero has seen their fair share of ups-and-downs. After original guitarist and longtime friend Bill Marcks left the band in 2008, members have seemed to come and go, but the band and music has carried on. Recently, after the release of their last album, Stories of Survival, guitarist Zach Vogel departed the band to return to his home in Wisconsin for more family time. Shortly after that and with the turn of the New Year in 2011, long time friend and drummer Jim Wilcox also left the band to pursue other endeavors.
At this point, many bands would have folded under the pressure of lineup changes and setbacks, but the rest of the band carried on by inviting new recruits and Amarillo, TX native Brandon Landelius on guitar along with legendary punk drummer, Sean Sellers (Good Riddance, Real McKenzies) on drums to restructure and complete the group. With their fifth studio album The Tipping Point, Authority Zero is determined to carry on with perseverance and dedication to spread their music and message to fans around the globe.

Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass managed to outsell The Beatles 2:1 in 1966. Herb Alpert is the only recording artist in history to have both a No. 1 hit as a singer and as an instrumentalist. He bumped Simon & Garfunkel’s “Mrs. Robinson” out of the No. 1 spot with his rendition of Burt Bacharach’s “This Guy’s in Love with You” in the summer of 1968. With the success of that hit, Herb asked Hal David if he had another song for him to sing. Then Karen Carpenter walked into his recording studio at A & M records and Herb was blown away by her talent. So he gave the song to her. That song was “Close to You.” Another big discovery at A & M Records was Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66. Not only did he love the group, Herb Alpert fell in love with their lead singer Lani Hall.
“I like to make uplifting music. I get energy from a concert. I have this opportunity to make people feel good.” —Herb Alpert

The Garden
2023-10-21 20:00 | Knitting Factory, 416 S 9th St, Boise, Idaho, 83702
Twenty year-old identical twins who have been stirring the lively guitar scene in Orange County, California, with their rebelliously innovative blend of electronic punk conjured from, mostly, a bass guitar and a drum kit. They play three headline UK dates in December before going on tour with all-female rock band Warpaint in March.
The Garden emerged in 2011, but Fletcher and Wyatt have been playing together for a decade. Their father, who was in OC punk bands Final Conflict and Shattered Faith, played The Prodigy, Fatboy Slim and The Normal on the pre-school run. “It was an array of different bands that I thought were the weirdest thing ever as a kindergartner”, says Fletcher. “Those were my earliest memories.” The duo formed out of the ashes of another band, MHV, and were signed to prolific punk label Burger Records swiftly after. An 18 minute-long album, The Life and Times of a Paperclip, was released in summer 2013, after fashion designer Hedi Slimane invited the twins to walk the catwalk for Yves Saint Laurent – an event Fletcher is amused people still discuss nearly two years later. They have continued to release EPs despite their increasingly “crazy” travel demands over the past year.
Although The Garden’s hypnotic music shares a Lo-Fi, garage-punk sound, few songs sound distinctly alike. Fletcher’s arch, precise vocals on Open Abyss recall a scuzzier Edwyn Collins, but have the nasal edge of label-mate Ty Segall on I’m A Woman. The infectiously catchy We Be Grindin’ has a more familiarly punk three-chord structure which is interrupted by minimalist electronic beats. The sparse, drum and bass urgency of Cloak, meanwhile, is reminiscent of early Prodigy. Their latest single, Suprise!, has the propellant, gothic basslines and shuddering vocals of The Horrors’ debut album.
Aside from a childhood soundtrack of post-punk – from Killing Joke and Political Crap – the Shears twins have diverse interests: including Japanese video game composer Manabu Namiki, to Nineties American rapper E-40 and the late country singer Johnny Paycheck.
To avoid being pigeonholed, The Garden have invented the term “Vada-Vada” to describe their sound. “I can break the rules because I made up this universe and this thing,” says Fletcher. “That’s the whole beauty behind it. We don’t claim to be a punk band and we don’t claim to be a rock band. If we did that we’d have to stay inside boundaries that someone else made years and years ago.”

The steam-roller known as AMARANTHE continues to roll on relentlessly. In 2014 many were wondering how and if they could top the previous successes of their self-titled debut album (2011) and their sophomore effort ‘The Nexus’. In October 2014, those questions were answered with ‘MASSIVE ADDICTIVE’ which instantly charted in six countries, and even reached number one on the Billboard heatseekers charts. The lead single ‘Drop Dead Cynical’ reached far wider and higher than any previous AMARANTHE single, and stayed several weeks at the top of USA’s premier rock station, Sirius XM Octane, and had massive airplay all around the world.
The perfectly executed modern metal which is ‘MASSIVE ADDICTIVE’ was once again genre-transcending, forward looking – and most importantly it was daringly innovative for AMARANTHE. The tremendous reception of the album led to an extensive world tour of over 100 shows, visiting the USA two times so far, a tour in Europe, Japan and numberless single shows – and they show no sign of slowing down any time yet.
It has just recently been revealed that AMARANTHE are working on a follow-up to 2014’s ‘MASSIVE ADDICTIVE’, to be released at an unspecified time in 2016. Nothing has been revealed about the album so far – but without any shadow of a doubt we can expect the biggest choruses and the catchiest hooks to ever roll out from the unstoppable AMARANTHE hit factory!
