Florida Pythons - Shed Your Skin

Get ready to raise hell with the latest filthy rager from Florida Pythons! Their new single "Raise Some Hell" is an unchained party metal anthem demanding we let loose and unleash absolute mayhem. 

Propelled by buzzsaw guitars and sledgehammer drums, "Raise Some Hell" ignites a wildfire of reckless abandon within the listener. Lead singer Jim Tramontana bellows with razor-sharp wit about surrendering to the thrills of the night. As he proclaims, "It's the night time, it's the right time and I'm under it's spell!"

The lyrics ride an Uber to an exclusive club, drinking heavily en route to the party. Tramontana shamelessly invites us to max out our credits cards and get wild, singing, "Forget your money, put it all on the card!" 

Sonically, "Raise Some Hell" is an audio adrenaline shot, meant to be played at maximum volume. The guitars shred like broken glass while the drums pummel like a barrage of sledgehammers. Searing solos and divebomb breakdowns make this track the perfect soundtrack for letting loose.

By the time the infectious chant of "We're gonna party like Andrew WK!" hits, any last inhibitions are obliterated. "Raise Some Hell" is an invitation to embrace our inner demons and completely surrender to the dark temptations of the night. Let the searing guitars wash over you and summon the courage to fully unleash!

Florida Pythons - Raise Some Hell

Get ready to embrace your dark side with the new rager from Florida Pythons! Their latest single “Party With Your Demons” is a raucous call to make peace with the shadows within us all. Propelled by crunching guitars and pummeling drums, this punk-infused metal track encourages listeners to let loose and celebrate their inner demons.

Inspired by a motivational talk on self-acceptance by Andrew WK, “Party With Your Demons” is a reminder that we all have a dark side, and we should embrace it. 

As lead vocalist Jim Tramontana snarls, “You’re running from who you want to be.” He urges us to stop running from ourselves and instead find strength in accepting every aspect of who we are.

The lyrics cut through the illusion that our past defines us and the myth that the future is predetermined. All we have is the present moment to come to terms with our demons. On the catchy shout-along chorus, Tramontana defiantly sings, “We’re gonna party with our demons tonight.”

Sonically, the band combines raw punk energy with the roaring distortion of metal to mirror the song’s themes. The guitar riffs slash and burn while the hyperfast drumming adds a sense of barely contained chaos. Close your eyes and you can visualize shadows dancing in rhythm.

So get ready to unleash your inner beasts and let your freak flag fly! “Party With Your Demons” invites us to embrace the totality of the human experience – light and dark. Florida Pythons wants you to know it’s okay to party with your demons. The darkness is just shadows in the light.

“PARTY WITH YOUR DEMONS” LYRICS
You’re running scared you’re running from who you want to be
You running down a road to nowhere just like me

So come with me, I know what you need to do
Just forget everything they told you

The past is an illusion
The future is a myth
All you have is this moment to deal with

So come with me, I know what you need to do
No matter what you think you know, it isn’t true
I know what’s going on, I know what you’re going through
Just forget everything they told you

We’re gonna party with our demons tonight
Don’t be afraid – they can’t hurt you – it’s alright
The darkness is just shadows in the light
Let’s party with our demons tonight

Florida Pythons - Party With Your Demons

Get ready for the latest sonic attack from Florida Pythons! The transnational punk rockers are back with their new single “Misanthrope,” a raucous anthem for these troubled times. Overflowing with raw energy and attitude, “Misanthrope” finds the band unleashing their frustration with the madness of the world today.


Solid Arts and Science: Punk/Metal/Rock Label · Florida Pythons – Misanthrope
We wrote “Misanthrope” at a time when it felt like society was breaking down all around us. The lyrics reflect the paranoia and defiance we were feeling. We wanted to give voice to that alienation through a powerful, punk-inspired sound.

True to our DIY ethos, Florida Pythons have put together a music video for “Misanthrope” using clips from the cult classic sci-fi film The Thing. The footage of the shape-shifting alien creature terrorizing an Antarctic research base perfectly complements the song’s sense of fear and distrust of humanity — a fittingly dystopian spectacle.

With raw vocals wailing over buzzsaw guitar riffs and relentless rhythms, “Misanthrope” is an auditory adrenaline shot. The catchy, shout-along chorus encapsulates the defiant tone of the lyrics. When you hear “You’re always running scared/You’re always running scared,” you can feel the desperation and frustration.

So, strap on your bullet belt and smash the system with the latest from Florida Pythons! “Misanthrope” will be available now on all major platforms. Get your anarchy on and go check it out!

“MISANTHROPE” LYRICS
To whom it may concern
Don’t play with matches you won’t get burned
There’s always a conspiracy
That has nothing to do to with you or me

Pay no mind to the lies your fed
Don’t listen to the voices in your head
They twist the truth, they twist reality
They want to force you to your knees

You’re always running scared
You’re always running scared

It’s just a cattle call – It’s just a fatal flaw
It comes for us. It takes us all
There comes a time – we always hit the wall

You’re longing to be free
A victim of society
Deniability
It’s all you have— it’s all you’ll be

You’re always running scared
You’re always running scared

The ticking clock consumes you
The sands of time wear thin
There is no escaping
The time bomb within

You’re always running scared
You’re always running scared
You’re always running scared
You’re always running scared
You’re always running scared

Florida Pythons - Misanthrope

“Determination” is the opening song from FLORIDA PYTHONS’ debut EP “Shed Your Skin” (coming soon). It sets the stage with its hard-driving, punk-fueled beat and lyrics of hope and strong-mindedness. It’s a reminder that even in the face of darkness and despair, one can rise above and fight for success. The path forward may be unclear, but defiance and grit will pave the way.

“DETERMINATION” LYRICS
My head is held up high
My mind and body ready
All I need is a battle song

Something joyous
I’m ready for the chorus
Gotta shout this at the top of my lungs

You want to battle me?
Well, you can’t rattle me
So, come on
Bring it on

I will die standing
Captain of this ship of fools
Complete and total determination

I have weathered storms
And looked Death in the eye
Spat upon His face
And made that bastard cry

The raging stormy seas
Don’t bring me any pain
My voice will fill the sky
With this refrain

You want to battle me?
Well, you can’t rattle me
So, come on
Bring it on

I will die standing
Captain of this ship of fools
Complete and total determination

You want to battle me?
Well, you can’t rattle me
So, come on
Bring it on

I will die standing
Captain of this ship of fools
Complete and total determination

Florida Pythons - Determination

Red Hot Rebellion is here to melt your face off with a classic!

The song is from the 1980 Motorhead album "Ace of Spades." It's one of Motorhead's most popular and iconic songs. 

"Ace of Spades" has a fast, aggressive tempo and driving rhythm. The lyrics talk about gambling and taking risks, using card playing metaphors. Lines like "The ace of spades means death" and "You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools" reflect the song's dangerous, high-stakes theme. 

Musically, it captures Motorhead's raw, loud, fast metal sound.  Gritty, bass-heavy riff and energetic drumming provide a powerful rhythmic base. Jimmy Thrillwell conjures the essence of Lemmy with rough, raspy vocals and fast-paced delivery match the speed and attitude of the music. 

"Ace of Spades" has a rebellious, nonconformist spirit with an edgy, dangerous vibe. It is truly an uncompromising hard rock/metal anthem and Red Hot Rebellion does it with the power an fury of a thousand nuclear-powered freight trains.

Trampoline Grrrl: Central Florida’s Dynamic Duo Rocking the Underground Scene

Together, Ivan and April create a sonic force that reverberates through the hearts and souls of their devoted fans.

Earth was on track to be admitted into the Galactic Union, but somewhere along the line, its rock ‘n’ roll turned weak. RED HOT REBELLION, the second best band in the galaxy, has been sent to Earth in order to steer humanity back on its proper path. But it looks like they've hit a few snags...

Published in Ink 19 by Julio Diaz:
Unfortunately, the title of this record is a slight misnomer. Two Weeks Too Late is actually a few months later than that. After a short but incredibly popular stint on Florida’s East Coast, culminating in landing a track (“Cock ‘n’ Balls”) on Moon’s Skarmageddon 3 comp, Stizzle broke up last year. This posthumous release does a great job of showing what they were all about and why they were so popular.

For me, the most fun tracks on the record are the poppy ska-punk tunes. Tracks like “Just Another,” “Paper or Plastic,” and especially “Sweet Potato,” wouldn’t necessarily be out of place on a Less Than Jake record, although they are quite a bit harder than your average LTJ track. Other tracks are straight-ahead hardcore, like the Dead Kennedys-esque “I Spit on Myself.” Even more interesting, though, are the tracks that go to both extremes in one song, like “I Don’t Understand” and “Galaga,” managing to be both mosh- and skank-worthy within the course of about two minutes flat! Amusing ska-core covers of Screeching Weasel’s “Three Sides” and Quiet Riot’s “Cum on Feel the Noize” round out a fun disc that is sure to please fans of bands like the Suicide Machines. Adding to the fun are the bilingual lyrics, so you can shout along in Spanish or English! The real strength is the strong melodic sound that will get these tunes stuck in your head. It sneaks up on you after a few listens!

Listening to this record, it’s not hard to imagine a bunch of sweaty kids going nuts, moshing and skanking in a small, crowded room while Stizzle tears up the stage. Sadly, those days are no more, but with Two Weeks Too Late, at least the memories can be cherished. No reason you can’t invite a few friends over and start a pit in the living room

BRACE YOURSELVES, SOMETHING SINISTER THIS WAY COMES…
The wicked season of Halloween is upon us, and that can only mean one thing – new terrifying music by the serpents of the swamp themselves, Florida Pythons! This year, we aim to melt your face off with our spine-tingling new track “Shadowman.”


Slithering out of the shadows and into your nightmares, “Shadowman” is a heavy, brooding blues and grunge-infused metal masterpiece that will have you watching over your shoulder until sunrise. Haunting riffs build in intensity throughout the song, leading to a massive, deadly crescendo you won’t soon forget.

The artwork perfectly captures the creepy mood, with a skull-faced figure emerging from the darkness, snake curled around his body, ready to strike unsuspecting victims.

As we warned on Instagram, “You are not ready for the horror awaiting you. Do what you must to prepare yourself for our new Halloween song. It will come in the night, when you least expect it. Fear the night. Fear the Shadowman.”

With chilling lyrics like “Beware the night, when Evil walks free, be sure to lock up your children and forget you’re holding the key,” you may want to sleep with one eye open.

Don’t be caught off-guard when “Shadowman” strikes – save yourself from its soul-stealing clutches by facing the darkness head-on. Stream or download the new Florida Pythons song, if you dare!

Jackknife is a mid-tempo groove metal song characterized by a syncopated rhythmic drive, down-tuned guitars, and aggressive shouted vocals. Musically it falls into the stoner/desert rock camp while incorporating elements of metal and hardcore punk.

Florida Pythons - Jackknife

Veteran rockers Florida Pythons are back with a vengeance on their latest bone-rattling single "Concrete Chaos." This aggressive new track comes out swinging with chunky guitars, guttural vocals, and lyrics that speak truth to power. The video depicts a man jumping in and out of a swimming pool repeatedly and is a joyous, life-affirming, expression of how we must all Party when faced with the chaos caused by authority and those in power. 

"Concrete Chaos" takes aim at the complete insanity of the state where the Pythons grew up: Florida. The dramatic and endless suburban sprawl has destroyed much of the natural beauty of the state. In the song, lead singer Jim Tramontana growls lines like "You say you want to drain the swamp, go to hell--I'm from the swamp" and "Your concrete chaos can be seen from outer space." It's a heavy and unapologetic middle finger to anyone looking to pave over the Python's beloved home state of Florida.

The lyrics pull no punches, calling out hypocrisy from politicians and transplanted residents who claim to want positive change while destroying ecosystems and fostering reactionary fear-mongering. The song closes with a blistering guitar solo by virtuoso Mikey Cortes, cementing this track as prime headbanging material for metal fans.

With its thrashy energy and rebel spirit, "Concrete Chaos" shows Florida Pythons have lost none of their bite. As the band prepares to enter the studio for their debut full-length album, this single provides a taste of the moshpit-friendly metal anthems we can expect.

They called him Neon Leon, the synthwave troubadour from Mars. His skin shimmered Martian red, eyes glowed like distant stars, and his voice carried the loneliness of forgotten worlds. He remembered lost civilizations and intergalactic dreams, his melodies woven from stardust and the hum of ancient tech. Atop a stage bathed in neon, his chrome jumpsuit and glowing boots marked out his solitary figure – a beacon of cosmic melancholy against the backdrop of the Martian night.

Skywhiskers is a mid-tempo synthwave track, composed from a lofty perch high above the neon cityscape. The colossal mustache in the sky weaves a pulsating backbeat propelling you through the electric labyrinth below. Its presence casts a spectral glow, illuminating rain-slicked streets and the flicker of holograms dancing in ethereal whiskery light. As the melody ripples through the air, its whiskers stretch across the sky, blending data streams with digital dreams. Immerse yourself in the cyberpunk enchantment, and experience the night as the Skywhiskers does.
