Philly Punks Brackish Re-emerge with New Line-up & Worlds EP Produced By The Menzingers' Andy Clarke & Tom May (Black Numbers)



Brackish is an unabashedly Punk/Hardcore band originally hailing from Trenton, NJ and currently based out of Philly. Championed by Darko The Super, Lt. Headtrip, Ray Strife, and my older cousin Josh, Brackish make a nostalgic, yet extremely modern brand of early 2000's-reminiscent Screamo/Emo & Pop-Punk. If you are/were ever a fan of Bayside, Dashboard Confessional, Take This to Your Grave-era Fall Out Boy, Glassjaw, Jimmy Eat World, Midtown, Saves The Day, Senses Fail, Sunny Day Real Estate, Taking Back Sunday, Thursday, or The Used, I would strongly suggest checking out Brackish. The Witzard, as you may well remember, previously featured Brackish's 2017 Black Numbers EP and 7-inch, Coming Down. Today, they're back with yet another EP on Black Numbers (their third overall) simply titled Worlds; once again, produced by The Menzingers' Andy Clarke & Tom May at Retro City Studios in Philly with drums recorded by Sean Glonek at SRG Studios in Hamilton, NJ and mastered by Rachel Lighter of Nervous Dater.


This time, however, Brackish have re-emerged with an entirely new line-up than both Young People (2015) and Coming Down (2017) - consisting of long-time members Connor Byrne & Nick Rosica, as well as former YJY bassist Tim Fitzpatrick AKA Tim Fitz and current Sick Sh*t drummer Zach Miller. "Here's our newest effort, Worlds, in its entirety. Some of these songs are so old they were written in 2009 and others were written right before we went into the studio. So thankful to present them to the world," Brackish (@Brackishtheband) wrote within a heart-warming Facebook post Friday morning. "Please, take the time to listen and share it, if you like it. Thank you so much for your time and support ❤️" they continued. Brackish's phenomenal 5-track Worlds EP is currently available to stream or download from Amazon, Apple Music, Bandcamp, Spotify, and like-minded digital retailers. Brackish are planning to hit the road with Awakebutstillinbed for their 6-date June Tour 2018 across the East Coast spanning 6/11-16.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

3 Feet High & Rising: Band of Bearded Brothers Cellar Door Moon Crow Unleash Rollicking Single "Whistler" from Upcoming Blues Rock EP (Bandcamp, self-released)

Whistler by Cellar Door Moon Crow British Rock 2-piece band Cellar Door Moon Crow mysteriously found and Followed The Witzard (@SharpCheddar856) on Twitter a few months ago. Their Facebook About section simply lists a brief, yet fitting, mission statement: "Band ~ Beards ~ Brothers Goodwin brothers Phil & Tommy . Sheffield, UK " and their accompanying Biography section contains a similar refrain: "Band ^ Beards ^ Brothers," as well as their Bandcamp page. There really isn't much else to be known about twin brothers Phil & Tom Goodwin , aside from the fact that they make infectious, down and dirty Rock "N" Roll —all entirely written, recorded, produced, and mixed in-house by Cellar Door Moon Crow (CDMC) themselves. CDMC 's Bandcamp page often tags their musical output as " British Rock , Rock, Blues Rock , two-piece band, Sheffield " and I would best liken their sound to a stylistic mix between The Black Keys , Thir

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
