Chicago Skath Pioneers Return with Frightfully Festive New Single "Wake The Dead" Just In Time for Halloween (Spooky Action Records)


Chicago-based 666th Wave Ska/Skath band. Grave Danger, have returned with their third festive offering. "Wake The Dead" follows their 2021 single, "Specter Inspector," and 2019 debut, TOMB IT MAY CONCERN EP. Grave Danger told Punk News, who recently premiered "Wake The Dead:" "with "Wake The Dead," we wanted a big, menacing sound, worthy of the Lovecraftian Horror that inspired it, to balance out the fun, bouncy horn parts that we love to write. We had a great time working to get the vibe just right for this monstrous love letter to coffee." Grave Danger is Dave Schwantes providing guitars, bass, keyboards, tenor sax, baritone sax, and backing vocals, drummer Dane Erbach, vocalist Chris Marcanti, trombonist Margaret Miller, trumpet player Andy Miller, and Emily Erbach on theremin/synths.


"Wake The Dead" was produced by Dave Schwantes with album artwork by David Buist (@david_buist) and mixing and mastering by Justin Lebreck at Waysound Studios. While they only come out about once a year on, around, or for Halloween, Grave Danger make it well worth the nearly year-long wait every time. "Wake The Dead" is just another fantastic notch in their slowly, ever-growing discography. So, check it out and if you like ehat you hear, Add Grave Danger's "Wake The Dead," "Specter Inspector," and TOMB IT MAY CONCERN to your frightful, sppok-tacular Skalloween/Skatober playlists. Grave Danger's "Wake The Dead" is out now on Spooky Action Records. Happy Halloween, ghouls and gals!!!

"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...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
