The Fox and King Hosts Its First Ever Bronx Basement Riot Feat. UK Band Eat Defeat & More.

On November 9th, The Fox and King hosted the first ever Bronx Basement Riot show. Hailing from Massachusetts,  In the Meantime kicked things off with some high octane rock that started the show off with a bang, and things only went up from there. Bronx band, Left in the Attic, did not disappoint. Their high energy punk rock, and powerful vocals, had the whole crowd moving and singing along.

Eat Defeat, visiting from across the pond as a stop on their North American tour, captivated the packed room. Their first time playing in the Bronx, they joked about pineapple pizza and showed off their best New York accents. 

When asked about their experience playing a basement show in the Bronx, drummer Steve responded, “[We] love that intimate feeling, so close to the crowd.”  Lead singer and bass player, Sommers, followed up with this comparison: “Playing in a basement to 30 people who give a shit or playing in a 250 capped room to nobody, we’ll take the basement.”

Last but not least, Jersey based band, The Components closed out the night.  Despite their line up only consisting of two members, the Components powerful sound consumed the room, and shook the house.

Follow these awesome bands on their socials and stay tuned for information on the next Bronx Basement Riot.

Westchester-Based Outfit, The Everafter, On Tour After New EP - "Where I Came From"

Four-piece outfit, The Everafter, have kept summer 19 on blast with the release of their new EP, “Where I Came From,” this spring.

A melodic, tender-thrashing and punk-infused record, The Eveafter have taken their electrifying sound on tour this summer with performances across local and regional venues/bars; most notably, The Everafter’s current USA/Canada tour with Radiate and Rival Town.

Consisting of lead vocalist Cara Small, bassist Rich Rivera, lead guitarist Ryan Lare and kick-ass drummer Danny Nugent, The Everafter released their debut single/video, “Call It A Night,” in 2018 as part of their freshman EP “Whatever’s Bringing You Down.”

Along with their one-off single, “Perspectives,” the band is heavily active in the Westchester alt/punk-rock music scene - during a time where the genre continues to grow and reinvent itself with more independent bands touring and recording music..

With a high-velocity sound, immense attitude and sweet, yet unapologetically bratty songwriting, The Everafter is one of the rising Westchester-based bands that’s worth noting and a brawling energy that’s only just heating up. Way more to come from this emerging powerhouse.

Stream, “Where I came From,” on your alt/rock playlist today and catch The Everafter tonight at Shakeout’s EP Release Show at Rudy’s in Hartsdale, NY.

Shakeout Releases New EP "Balance The Imbalance"

New York-based alternative rock duo, Shakeout, have released their new EP, “Balance The Imbalance,” steaming now on all digital music platforms.

Shakeout’s even-track record is as unique, and complex, as their experimental approach to music - a sonic journey into the mind of one’s self and the balancing of all those emotions against constant friction.

Shakeout’s fourth EP explores themes such as anxiety (“40Mg”), clarity (“Heart”), fear, "(“No More Fear”) and self-reflection & balancing from their lead single “Take Time.” The duo’s emotional opus on “Temporary I and “Temporary II,” as well as their appetite for self-control on “Instincts,” illustrate Shakeout’s depth in their songwriting ability and their bold illusionary repertoire that allures listeners to envision a 4-piece band rather than a two-piece act.

Based in Yonkers, NY, Shakeout is a two-piece experimental rock band that has forged a complex sound through their influences of punk, alternative, pop and hip-hop. Their savvy songwriting approach has brought upon a multitude of sounds that attract fans and listeners from a wide-range of genres.

Formed in 2016 by musicians, A.J. Kay and A.J. Chiarella, Shakeout has primarily focused on music experimentation as their key approach to songwriting, and unique live performances, through their innovative style of creating the illusion of a four-piece band. Their appetite for using various sounds and instruments helps Shakeout to convey this sonic illusion by curating ear-decadent experiences for their audiences and listeners whether on stage or in studio.

Shakeout "Take Time" is from the EP "Balance the Imbalance," out August 2nd. Shot and Directed by Joe Kickbush. Edited by A.J. Kay.

The alt-rock duo released the records lead singles earlier this summer with “Take Time” and “Instincts,” receiving positive reviews from various indie-rock publications and features on alt-rock playlists on Spotify. Their music video to “Take Time” has garnered over 19k views since its release in June.

Shakeout will be performing their record release show at Rudy’s in Hartsdale, NY next week ,on August 9th, alongside local/regional pals The Everafter, Maintenance, Keep Flying and Cold Climb It.

Follow/listen to Shakeout today and add “Balance The Imbalance” to your weekend playlist!
