RESPIRE - "TO OUR DEAD FRIENDS"
Toronto blackened orchestral screamo band Respire's new album Black Line comes out December 4 via Church Road Records, and every song they've put out so far has been seriously intense. This new one is no exception, and it comes with an equally awesome video produced and directed by Vanessa Gloux, and starring Meghan McDonald.

DALE CROVER - "I CAN'T HELP YOU THERE"
Melvins' Dale Crover has shared another slice of sludgy rock from his upcoming solo album Rat-A-Tat-Tat! (due January 15 via Joyful Noise). "I enlisted Toshi Kasai and Alicia DiGiovanni to help direct, film and edit," Dale said of the video. "I gave them the basic ideas I had and they ran with them. Inspiration came from 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest,' The Cramps’ 1978 performance at Napa State Mental Hospital, and the creepy face mask of LA Dodger Kiké Hernández."
