Philly's Violin-aided Folk Punk Trio Share Collected Recordings Featuring Re-mixed & Re-mastered Recordings from The Past Eight Years (self-released)

We haven't covered Philly violin-aided Folk Punk trio The Deadeyes since 2018, but that's largely our fault for dragging our feet... because The Deadeyes have been far from inactive since 2018: having released their Mind Cabin & No More Later / Narco EP's throughout 2018 and Cover Songs and "Last Days of Summer" in 2020. Those individual songs and EP's have since been pulled and scrubbed from streaming services, as they've been re-mixed, re-mastered, and re-collected on The Deadeyes' newly-released Collected Recordings. The Deadeyes showcases a truly unique one-of-a-kind line-up featuring Patrick "Paddy" McHugh on guitar and vocals, Dave McMullin on drums, and John Coursey providing violins and electronics. Collected Recordings chronicles and re-collects everything McHugh, McMullin & Coursey have been working on over the past 7-8 years since their debut, Demonstrationals & Remixes.

"We pulled together our best recordings since our debut and got them all properly mastered, so they sound awesome and, in some cases, the improvement is huge from the versions we had hastily posted online (unmastered versions,)" Paddy McHugh explains. Throughout Collected Recordings, various D.I.Y. recordings from practice spaces, live performamces, and home studios can be heard; some of which were actually recorded directly to 8-track cassette tapes at Adam Garbinski's home studio, The Mind Cabin, wherein he's even recorded his own band, Marah. Amidst Collected Recordings' array of odds and ends, fans will find a choice selection of Grade-A covers in "Treatment Bound" by The Replacements and "Do You Want to Dance?" by Bobby Freeman, later popularized by The Ramones. "I'm very happy with the lyrics, which will all be posted with the individual songs on Bandcamp [on] Tuesday 4/5."

"Every song we do has a personality of its own and I try to find a unique natural-sounding balance between what it sounds like and what the lyrics are about," Paddy McHugh shared with The Witzard via email." Further elaborating McHugh explained, "and, of course, the guitar playing is all in my own tuning, which is designed to push out bottom end tones with an organic chorus shine on the top. I don't want any songs to sound like there is nobody playing bass or even just one guitar; ideally, when somebody sees us play, we want them to be like, "oh, damn, it's just two guys and violin player??"' Join The Deadeyes on Sunday, June 5th as they celebrate the birth of their sophomore album at The Khyber Pass Pub. It's a completely free event to attend and festivities will start at 7:00p.m. All guests must be over 21. The Deadeyes' Collected Recordings is now available on streaming services with a vinyl re-release expected in the near future.

[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
