LAID TO DUST [2015] Laid To Dust

Started in late 2011 in Concord, New Hampshire with a desire to create roots-style music in the tradition of the masters of bluegrass, folk, country, and good ole' fashioned rock n' roll, the current incarnation of the band was realized in April of 2012. Beer and whiskey was consumed, songs were formed, and finally their first live gig came around in January of 2013. Onward they roll...

SEUORA

YouTube

No good feel bad three man junk band.

"If Tom Waits was a goth who lives in a swamp, he might sound something like this band. Seuora is a combination of doom blues, swamp rock, spirit of Halloween and just a hint of folk."

Born from the ashes of Northern Antarctican Non-Flying Flying Circus in 2012 (I think) Seuora is a junk-box blues band that combines elements from old timey cabaret, death blues and European folk-noire, and blends them into an evil dripping sludge of mean spirited lyrics and haunting melodies.

Andrew Sheppard To Release Great New Album 'Steady Your Aim' On 23 March

“Soulful country with an outlaw mentality” - Treefort Music Festival

Singer-songwriter Andrew Sheppard grew up in Hailey, Idaho in an extended musical family, his mother was always playing and singing in rock and blues bands. As a kid Andrew was always at his moms rehearsals and live shows, drawing in the music as a constant. Sheppard was playing bass in punk rock bands in high school and by the age of 19, he picked up the guitar and started writing his own songs. 10 years later, he is poised to release his sophomore album, Steady Your Aim on March 23rd.

Steady Your Aim is a concept record, a musical journey in which every song was methodically thought out to fit the record. An analog recording, it is a cinematic dreamscape narrative that is richly layered with the pedal steel, piano, cello, Wurlitzer and organ. All of their parts are gently tucked in which leaves the listener wondering just what it is they are actually hearing. “We used traditional sounding instruments to create a new sound,” said Sheppard. “For example, we used cello on this record because I wanted a deep sound that didn’t come from anything electric or synthetic. Instead of being a ‘lead’ instrument we used it as a texture tool giving the songs a more rich and ‘real’ feel.” Produced by Sheppard, Eric Loomis and Wes Walsworth (both of whom play guitar on the album), Steady Your Aim was recorded at Ivy Hall Studio in Nashville, Tennessee. John Mayfield at Mayfield Mastering mastered the record.

Leaving Idaho just after high school, Sheppard headed to Los Angeles, CA to pursue his other passion, skateboarding. After a blown-out knee derailed his skating plans, he shifted his focus back to writing music. In 2008 he formed the band, Gypsy River Haunts that disbanded in 2012.  Feeling the need to roam, he bought a car, loaded up his dog and headed around the country collecting stories for what he deemed his “record-writing road trip”. After 8,000 miles of driving, Sheppard wound up back in Idaho with no plan to stay, but realized after landing, that all his childhood friends were great musicians and that he had everything he needed to make the record he had in mind.  Packing it up for a trip to LA, Sheppard and pals recorded Far From Here in 2015 at Bedrock Studios before heading back to Idaho. “I realized how much more I thrive in a mountain town,” said the artist. “I need to be in nature to feel a bit more sane.”

But a slower pace doesn’t mean that Sheppard has slowed down. He is on the road constantly (both solo and with band), playing festivals such as Stagecoach Country Music Festival, Treefort Music Festival, The Feed LA Festival and The Northern Rockies Music Festival. He’s shared the stage with The Black Lillies, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Whiskey Shivers and Scott H. Biram and has toured with friend and fellow roots musician, Jeff Crosby.

On Steady Your Aim, Sheppard doesn’t sugarcoat any of the emotions in his songwriting. He writes honest music that comes from the heart and darker places in life. The first track of the album “Take A Walk With Me” is inspired by packing up his life in LA and heading back to the mountains…” I was tired of the coast, so I booked it for the pines. Took a swing at the open road and caught up with my mind.” The more somber 2nd song, the title track, is a response to the first song, where he is taking the musical journey and dealing with the trials and tribulations of what being a musician on the road means. “The instruments are meant to make you look at everything wide-screen, like watching a film,” he explains.

From the sad and happy, “Here at the Bottom”, to the protest vision of “Not My Kind”, to the traditional (yet modern) waltz of “Holy Water” Steady Your Aim takes you on a musical journey from start to finish with a modern and experimental sound. Sheppard writes songs and music that isn’t a carbon copy of other country and Americana artists and that touches on subjects you don’t typically touch.

“Writing a song is something that I don’t, and won’t take for granted,” Sheppard vows. “Every show, every tour and every album provide me with new insight and a new way of looking at life. It helps me grow as a person and an artist and I want to see where that takes me for the rest of my life.”

“Outlaw Country Artist of the Week goes out to @Mr_Sheppard - This guy's the real deal” - Buckshot

“Dang Mr. Sheppard you made a helluva record. I gotta get my pulpit out for this one.” - Both Kinds of Music

This is one great record folks and a worthy addition to your music collection, so don't forget to buy this gem when it releases on March 23rd, 2018 and will be available on digital and CD.

New Gothic Western Website!

http://gothicwestern.com/site/

GothicWestern.com is a collective dedicated to spreading the word about, and knowledge of, all facets of this dark subculture: music, film, literature, fashion, art and other aspects of the Gothic Western lifestyle.

What is Gothic Western? They feel it encapsulates anything relating to the darker side of the Old West, New West, and everything in between. Within this subculture, they include Southern Gothic (as many settlers in the West came from the old antebellum South, bringing their curses and hoodoo with them.) They will also include some of the dark tales of the Wild West in Old West Catacombs.

Dark Western film & TV, as well as Gothic Country & Western and Bluegrass music (often called “Streetgrass” or “Bloodgrass“), has seen a conflagrant rise in popularity in recent times across the nation as well as overseas. They are committed to bringing forth the latest news, events, and releases while simultaneously delving into the history of Gothic Western by showcasing past releases and productions. Gothic Western will unearth the archives and scour their own collections to flesh out the definitive history of this fascinating genre.
