"Mind of a Lunatic" is a dark sonic journey into the tumultuous psyche of one unhinged. The music, draped in dissonant tones, mirrors the erratic nature of thoughts within madness. The lyrics delve into the paradoxical allure of embracing societal taboos, where indulging in vices becomes a twisted means of finding fleeting happiness. The haunting melodies and intense beats echo the escalating madness within, challenging listeners to confront the uncomfortable allure of the forbidden. In this exploration of the thin line between sanity and liberation, the song captures the twisted beauty found in the mind of a lunatic.

Mind of a Lunatic

"Dystopian Mycelium" is a hypnotic sonic journey designed to guide listeners through the tumultuous landscape of a panic attack. With heavy beats and ethereal melodies, the music mirrors the disarray of an anxious mind. Symbolizing interconnected thoughts, the mycelium weaves a dystopian tapestry, embodying both the chaos and enchantment of the experience.

This euphoric trip, induced by psychedelic mushrooms, serves as a cathartic escape. The music, like a heavy dose, intensifies and distorts, echoing the mind's tricks during anxiety. As the beats crescendo, the listener is led through a labyrinth of illusions, reflecting the internal struggle. Ultimately, "Dystopian Mycelium" becomes a transformative experience, encouraging listeners to confront and dispel the illusions of anxiety, emerging on the other side with newfound clarity and resilience.

Here lies a secret within the song. Where? How? Only those who seek the truth will find it here. The only hint for you is this... the end is the truth and technology is the key.

Dystopian Mycelium

Backfire is the 2nd single off the band's EP "Bada Boom!"

Backfire is a cautionary tale of the perils of repeating insanity. Doing that same thing over and over…looking for a different result. 
That been there, done that thing.

Axminster is a hard rock band from Boston, MA in the USA. The EP “Bada Boom” punches out songs with a dagger-between-the-teeth, tongue-in-cheek backbone. With a bit of swagger and lot of fun, "Bada Boom!", is honest rock n' roll, packed with a windows-down & volume-up allegiance to bands like Aerosmith, SWEET, Montrose Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter and Deep Purple.

BACKFIRE  Lyrics

She’s a teaser, livin’ easy. I learned my lesson on the first try.
Take notice, guns are loaded
She’s the kind to love em’ leave em’ on a high wire.

If you want it. Got to give it.
Full attention, she’s like candy.
Reputation, I’m speculating.
You’ve been told but your gonna taste it anyway.

Nothing left to say, you know it’s gonna backfire.
Get out all the way, before its gonna backfire.

The attraction, for piece-a action. It ain’t worth it past the first time.
She’s a user, so when you lose her. 
Don’t be saying that I never, ever dropped a dime.

If you stay for more, you know its gonna backfire.
Only fools are sure, and I’m sure its gonna backfire.

If you use it, she’ll abuse it. She’s a lover who can two-time.
Now you got stuck, and ya love struck.
Get yourself away believe me she’s the perfect crime

No there ain’t a cure, you know its gonna backfire.
Only fools are sure, and I’m sure its gonna backfire.

Her bark is all bite.
Take my advice.
Don’t even think twice.

It’s all gonna backfire.

Bada Boom!

Backfire

The darkest waters the band wades into lyrically and sonically. A creepy croon builds to an unhinged, cathartic outpour of retribution. Circus synths, flanging riffs and tremolo frame a sinister, paranoid journey of an outsiders psyche. Railing against the modern world yet resigned, intense but self-aware to poke fun at itself. 
Recorded at Buffalo studios, London

Pariah

Meet retsecroW(s)— ret-see-crows —the band turning heads not just for their heavy, guitar-driven rock sound, but for their astonishingly young lineup. With members aged just 13 to 16, these Kidderminster-based prodigies have released their second single, "Blood Sea,". The track follows their debut single "Grief Of Me," which dropped in March 2024 and has already racked up over 7,500 streams on Spotify.

Despite their youth, retsecroW(s) have quickly established themselves as a must-see act across the West Midlands. Formed in July 2022, the band consists of Luca on vocals and guitar (13), Ollie on lead guitar (16), George on drums (15), and Alexie on bass (14). Their raw talent and relentless gigging have helped them build a loyal following and cement their place in the local rock scene.

"Blood Sea" was produced by rock and metal producer Jay Shredder at his SLL studio in the Wyre Forest, a name known for working with heavyweights like Saxon, KK’s Priest (Judas Priest), and Diamond Head. Jay was blown away by the band in the studio: "Working with retsecroW(s) was an eye-opener. These kids are incredibly gifted beyond their years. Their raw energy in the studio was infectious, and their musical maturity is something I can’t wait to see evolve. 'Blood Sea' is just the beginning for them."

The single, which has already become a fan favourite at their live shows, has been a year in the making and showcases the band's development both on and off the stage. As Luca, the band's 12-year-old singer, explains: "This track has grown with us at each gig and we’ve watched it turn into something we’re really proud of."


Blood Sea

Broken Wing

Original rock band from Charlottesville, VA.
Scottie - vocals / guitar
Brett - vocals / bass
Cam - drums

Retsecrow(s) – pronounced ret-see-crows.

It’s Worcester spelt backwards and because there are four of them, it had to be plural. The name isn’t the only distinctive thing about these kids from the Midlands. With a mix of dirty metal and guitar-driven rock covers these kids are happiest playing in front of a live audience; there’s a good chance they’ll drop some originals into their set too.
The band features the remarkable talents of Luca on vocals and guitar, defying his age at just 13 years old. Joining him are Lily, a bass prodigy at 16; Ollie, 16, wields the lead guitar, while George, also 15, keeps the thunderous rhythm alive.
They formed in July 2022 and played their first gig at a festival in Bewdley, Worcestershire in September 2022. More gigs and a radio appearance followed through 2023 and they continued to write original songs together and develop their sound.
The band started 2024 in the recording studio and released their first single Grief Of Me on all major music streaming platforms in March. The single has just achieved over 8,000 streams on Spotify alone. 
Their latest single Blood Sea came out in late 2024, it quickly passed 5,000 streams and earned repeated airplay on rock and metal radio shows across the UK. 
On stage, the band have built a reputation for high-energy, crowd-grabbing performances, from packed venues in the West Midlands and Worcestershire to major festival stages. 2025 sees them stepping up to the Trailblazer Stage at Call Of The Wild Festival and sharing the bill with established acts in support slots for bands including Kim Jennett Faux Fighters and Not Now Norman.

New LP "Must Be Something Missing" & Single "In The Dark"  released on Soundcloud 1 Dec 25' -  SickRichard is an Alt Rock/ Post Punk trio that has spent the last several years carving out a reputation in the London club scene for their hard-hitting, no-nonsense live performances.
Their music channels the raw frustration of a fractured modern world, pairing hazy synths and moody grooves with explosive hooks that appeal to the disillusioned and disaffected. 
With a gritty, high-energy sound and genre-defying edge, they blend influences from Punk, Hard Rock and Indie with electronica and psychedelia. The latest single "In The Dark" from their  LP was released on 14 November.

Hitting like a sledgehammer, Boston’s own AXMINSTER pounds out their hardest rock to date with a new 4-song EP titled “MAD AS HATTERS”.
Kicking the tires of bands like Aerosmith, Montrose, AC/DC and Deep Purple, AXMINSTER got their start in the Boston music scene in the early 80's, getting consistent airplay on major over the air radio stations and raves from the press.  The band slugged its way around the region's club scene sharing sweat-filled stages with Metallica, Extreme, Twisted Sister, Lita Ford, Molly Hatchet, Ten Years After, Foghat and many others.
MAD AS HATTERS was mixed by Grammy Award Winning Producer/Engineer Bob St. John who has worked with such artists as Extreme, Collective Soul, Duran Duran and Dokken to name a few. The EP was mastered by Adam Matza at Magic Ears Mastering who has mastered tracks for Steven Tyler, Nuno Bettencourt, Dweezil Zappa, Mary J. Blige and others. The basic tracks were recorded at Genesys Recording Studio by Veteran Engineer Andre Kolarevic.
Ripping out a classic and timeless sound with a contemporary twist, MAD AS HATTERS is full throttle, windows down & volume up hard rock!
