THE OLD IRONSIDES

The Old Ironsides are four friends from Long Island making rock and roll music how ever it wants to come out.

Jarett Slionski A.K.A. the old ironsides started laying down his punk rock roots as a teenager growing up on long island, with his latest projects the rebel dead and those hated hearts, playing guitar and singing songs in typical puck rock fashion.. songs of angst and hard times, true working class..

Some say he is an old soul, that he's lived many lives.. going through a lot as a child and teenager, from being homeless, drugs and death, love and loss, having a child, getting married and divorced.. Portraying all that in his music.. He doesn't take pride in being the most talented musician, but he takes pride in what he says.. songs from the heart, honest and real.. Call it what you will, country, folk, americana, punk. He calls them songs...

Oklahoma is the new hot spot for Americana Roots music. In the footsteps of artists like Woody Guthrie, JJ Cale, Merle Haggard and many other greats, people like Jimmy LaFave, John Moreland, Parker Millsap and John Fullbright carry the Red Dirt torch. Horton Records takes a central role in this, even for artists who do not record for the label. Continental Record Services is proud to work with Okies as Wink Burcham or Carter Sampson and also to represent a number of leading players (also literally) from the Tulsa scene who present themselves together as the first version of the Oklahoma Roots Revue.

The Oklahoma Roots Revue 2016 was presented by Tulsa-based Horton Records and Continental Record Services and featured:

Beau Roberson (Pilgrim)
Jesse Aycock
Paul Benjaman
w/ special guests Paddy Ryan (Pilgrim) - Drums and Aaron Boehler (John Fullbright, Parker Millsap, John Moreland, among others) - Bass
+ Carter Sampson only the first 3 shows

On 10 September, during the Roots Revue they were able to meet a delegation of Okie musicians from the Red Dirt state. And for Americana Roots fans they compiled a sampler composed of top music from top musicians from Oklahoma, except for Rachel Dean who is a singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, California but is on the Horton Records label.

Friendship To Release Awesome New Album "Ain’t No Shame" May 25



The Norwegian rock band are releasing their second full length album “Ain’t No Shame”, which contains 10 high soaring, hook heavy songs with tons of energy. The whole record has a classic rock tinge to it that gives it a classical vibe; powerful and punchy.

Friendship are a groovy power trio from Oslo, Norway. The band was formed in 2010 and consists today of Fredrik Skalstad on drums and vocals, Sander Eriksen Nordahl on guitar and Martin Morland on bass. The gel that binds the trio is their years of experience and discipline to their craft as musicians. As a result, Friendship have forged a sound that is tight, groovy, dynamic and adventurous; a sound that is unmistakeably Friendship.

Friendship's music is based on rock, with influences from blues, groove and psychedelic music from the late 60s, early 70s. Friendship is a live band, letting the energy of the moment inspire jams on stage. In these moments, the audience get a real feel on the level of craftsmanship in the band.

Witness elements of funky brass, violin and a lovely psychedelic organ here. This is great music for fans of Jimi Hendrix, Grand Funk, Cream, Rory Gallagher, Sly or Earth Wind and Fire. Friendship is a hard working rock band with four feet in the old music and two in the modern.

Friendship released its debut in 2011, a limited orange hand numbered 7" single and their first self-titled full length album followed in 2014 receiving an extremely positive embrace from the European underground rock scene.

Four years later and the band prepare to release “Ain’t No Shame” their highly anticipated follow up album, recorded and mixed at Studio Paradiso with Christian Engfelt (Big Bang, Cato Salsa Experience). “Ain’t No Shame” is a more mature record than their debut, from the opening riff you can feel the time, love and passion that has gone into creating this beautiful record. Fans of Friendship will not be disappointed, and those new to the Friendship train will enjoy the ride!

The band features ex-members of EXPLODING RUBBER BAND!

If you dig riff-driven rock as it was done in the 60s and 70s (and horns), then Friendship is the band for you.

02. Gypsy
03. Ain't No Shame
04. Harmony Turns To Sound
05. Got Me Feeling So Good
06. Moments
07. Fire

Speedbuggy USA Revisit Their Cowpunk Roots On "Kick Out The Twang" July 6



SPEEDBUGGY USA REVISIT THEIR COWPUNK ROOTS ON KICK OUT THE TWANG JULY 6

Gritty Lyrics And Driving Electric Guitars Add To A Blender Full Of American Roots

Timbo - Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin | Seth Von Paulus - Lead Guitar, Mandolin, Lap Slide, Backing Vocals | Brady Sloan - Bass, Backing Vocals | Jamie Dawson- Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals | and featuring Greg McMullen on Pedal Steel

“Nobody remembered when the party started, but it was a hoot and a holler. Pret' near ever' American roots style plain folks dig was represented. The melodies was fired up with punk lightning and fit together so comfortable-like that you just felt glad all over. Then some liquored-up joker knocked out the light and the fun really got goin’…” - DC Larson, Damnation Dance Party


Speedbuggy USA isn’t a band that you can keep down. Their last release, South of Bakersfield, came after a seven-year hiatus that had front man, Timbo, surviving and healing from a brain aneurism. Kick Out The Twang follows a year in which he had a major house fire just weeks before the band left on a seven week European tour. “It really threw a wrench in to us getting this record out in the US,” he explained. “The tour was a success but having to leave Los Angeles with a burnt home and then come back to financial strain and an uncertainty for the future is something I don’t care to go through again. But when you’re writing a record full of hard luck songs, I guess it doesn’t hurt to be beat down a bit.”

Kick Out The Twang shows just what this band can do in the face of adversity. This is lead guitarist, Seth Von Paulus’ 2nd time producing, engineering and mastering, and marks the bands 9th LP. “I first met Timbo in 2008,” said Von Paulus, “Immediately I recognized his passion and love for music. Even though we almost lost him he never gave up or gave in. It just made him stronger and more positive about life, people, and music. That has been one the greatest inspirations of my life.”

Speedbuggy USA was one of LA’s pre-eminent cowpunk bands and you can hear that influence on Kick Out The Twang. It’s an eclectic album of Americana, roots, country, rock, soul and blues that Von Paulus claims has “Great storytelling songs and some cool guitar licks.” Truckers, bull riders, rail riders, and heartbreaks all share space on the record. Identifying as a “blue-collar guy who’s pounded nails for years” Timbo said that he is “…always finding myself writing songs about the shattered spirits of the working class.”

Dipping in between sad honky tonk ballads and rocking cowpunk songs, the record is comprised of 11 original works and 2 cover songs; “The Last Train To Clarksville” (Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart) which kicks off the album, and “Unchain My Heart” (Robert Sharp and Teddy Powell). “Get Around” is a swampy blues of a song that echoes Timbo’s Louisiana’s roots. “Shaky Town” and “Darlin’ I’m Coming Home” are trucking songs (“I don’t think you can ever have too many songs about truckers”) — while “South Bound” is a song about riding the rails. Several of the songs on the record had been written for a while and were picked up again for Kick Out The Twang, “Sorry”, “Wood, Screws And Nails” and “Honky Tonk Singer”.

“Long Gone” is a song that was written by bassist, Brady Sloan and arranged by Timbo. “It was a song that I had struggled to finish back in the day,” said Sloan. “It had emotional ties to life back then and I think Timbo really wanted it recorded so he picked up the ball and ran with it. I’m glad it made the cut.”

“We spent a lot of time finding the right guitars, amps, and microphones for this album, which always pays off,” stated Von Paulus. “We really used lots of different guitars for this,” adds Timbo. “We had about 30 to choose from. One of my favorite guitars used is my pride and joy — a 60’s white Falcon that was given to me by Stephen Stills. It has great mojo and I love writing with it and playing on it. It was the first thing I grabbed in the house fire.”

The band’s last album, South Of Bakersfield had them exploring the Bakersfield sound. “I love Buck Owen and Merle Haggard and you just can’t beat that Fender twang, so we have plenty of that on Kick Out The Twang,” said Timbo. “But we also brought back some of our cowpunk roots. I also wanted to do a California Rickenbacker sound. There is something so magical about that jangling sparkle you can only get from a Rickenbacker.”

To underline the fact that adversity can’t keep Speedbuggy USA from going under, the band decided to do the photo shoot in what remained of Timbo’s burned out house. “I love how Steven Dewall captured us in the aftermath of the house fire,” Timbo said. “It gives you the feeling of the hard times that penetrate the lyrics of this record. I would like people to know that this album is about the stories and struggles of the American working class, outcasts, wandering souls and ghosts of the past. We had a great time working on this album. We all worked really hard to capture the right arrangements, sounds, tones and emotions behind each song. It was a journey back to the roots of American music. I hope everyone enjoys it…turn it up!”

"Kick Out The Twang" has a European release date of July 2nd and will be touring Europe in support of the release. The US release date is set for Friday, July 6th, 2018. Keep your eyes on this space for links to purchase this great album.





Ben Bostick To Release Great New Album "Hellfire" June 29



BEN BOSTICK TO RELEASE HELLFIRE JUNE 29

11 High-Energy Country Rock Tunes Following Hot On The Heels Of His Praised Eponymous Debut Album

"Packing the car for a little weekend getaway? Don't forget to pack some #vinylporn! Allow me to suggest this new platter from country/Americana whiz Ben Bostick, and it is aptly titled: "Hellfire. "More twang per capita than the FDA recommends, with a sonic caloric intake that'll leave you in a puddle on the venue floor." - Fred Mills, Blurt

Ben Bostick: Lead Vocals, Electric Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar / Luke Miller: Piano, Organ, Group Vocals / Kyle LaLone: Electric Guitar, Harmonies, Group Vocals / Cory Tramontelli: Bass Guitar, Group Vocals / Perry Morris: Drums, Percussion, Group Vocals

Country artist Ben Bostick has once again teamed up with engineer and producer John Would (Warren Zevon, Fiona Apple) to create Hellfire, his rowdy sophomore release.  Hellfire is a collection of 11 high-energy songs written during his band’s yearlong weekly residency at The Escondite in downtown Los Angeles. Influenced by the energy of the barroom, Bostick says the songs were “written to make the drunken denizens of the downtown dive go ‘hell yeah!’ In the tradition of the blues, they are lyrically dark songs that make you tap your toes and feel all right.”

In an unconventional way of recording, the musicians arranged themselves in a circle in the studio and played live, without headphones, using stage monitors to hear the vocals.  In addition to using close mics for the instruments, Would placed microphones throughout the room to capture the sound of the band playing together.  The songs were all written well before the band went into the studio and performed live dozens of times. “My aim was to write an album of songs that not only fit together musically and thematically,” Bostick explained, “ but also songs that really worked in a live situation and that suited the players in the band.”

Bostick’s eponymous debut was released in 2017 and was well received by the Americana and country music critics and fans.  “Last year was great for me,” said Bostick.  “I felt like I entered the musical conversation.  I released my first album, got reviews and fan mail from all around the world, and played more shows than ever.  I felt like a musical debutante.”  That being said, when asked about the differences between the last CD and Hellfire Bostick responds, “Everything.”

Bostick’s last album was expansive, varied, sometimes funny, sometimes soft-spoken and sometimes wistful.  Hellfire occasionally has humorous moments, but as an album it is loud, fast, and angry.  “The last record had something for everyone,” Bostick professes, “but this one will have a specific audience.  I expect more people to dislike this album, which I’m excited about.”  Fascinated by the tendency of people to turn their suffering outwards in the form of rage and resentment, Bostick explores these themes on Hellfire. “I have a theory that one way to cope with being in hell is to integrate yourself into the environment and become one of the demons that dwells there--as if inflicting pain on others might relieve some of the pain you yourself feel.”

Kicking it off fast and loud with “No Show Blues,” the song’s main character is a man acting against his self-interest. “This is a guy inside me,” confesses Bostick.  “I often have to push down the perverse urge to drive out into the desert and just get drunk, smoke cigarettes, and shoot bottles off fence posts.”

The title track, “Hellfire,” has a call and response chorus inspired by reading an article that asserted that music was historically only part of larger ritual practices and was always accompanied by dance, ceremony, and religion. “When I sing, ‘I’m talking bout hellfire’ and everybody in the crowd yells ‘hellfire!’ back, that breaks down the barrier between the stage and the dance floor and brings us closer together,” Bostick contends.

In the vein of participation, there are two songs on the record, “No Good Fool” and “Work, Sleep, Repeat” that were written as line-dances. “As the satanic narrator sings on ‘No Good Fool’ about driving a woman to her death, the dancers are out there laughing and having fun,” Bostick observed. “That’s a thing of country music beauty.”

The humorously titled, “It Ain’t Cheap Being Poor” was arranged by the band’s drummer, Perry Morris, and has a New Orleans feel to the music, while on “Feeling Mean” Luke Miller’s organ takes the center stage. “Luke never plays the same solo twice,” Bostick claims admiringly. “In fact, he never plays anything remotely similar. He’s one of the most creative musicians I know and he never fails to surprise me.”

South Carolina raised, now Los Angeles-based, Bostick makes his living in music through various forms. Along with being a performing artist, he busks (in an official capacity) on the Santa Monica Pier and has recently started DJ’ing at local clubs.  “It’s been a great opportunity to indulge my inner music fan and allows me to tell my girlfriend that I’m working when I go to the record shops,” he quips. “But seriously, if it weren’t for music I would be a complete mess, if not dead.  Most of our waking lives as Americans are spent working, so I had to find a way to make a living doing something that was meaningful.”

The themes of work and masculinity are thoroughly explored in Hellfire. “The definition of maleness, the ideal of masculinity, and the role of a man in modern society have become harder to make out,” he considers. “The image of the big strong man who works physical labor and provides for his family and retires with a union pension is old-fashioned. There are a lot of guys raised in that mold that feel left behind. I suppose you could say that the ‘character’ of Hellfire, the person that sings the songs on this album, is one of those guys.”

Despite the darker theme, Hellfire is upbeat, raucous, honky tonk bar music. The sound is raw and live and fast and the lyrics are of a whole. “I’m very proud of it, and I’m proud to have made it with a great group of guys,” said Bostick. “I have two more albums written—who knows if I’ll record one or both or neither—but this ain’t the last time you’ll be hearing from me!”

"Following on from Mr. Bostick’s eponymous debut would have been a tall ask, insanely brilliant, to capture the same intensity would have meant making the pact with the beast itself, however such treaties work when you are holding all the aces and the Devil doesn’t know the rules in play at the Hellfire.” - Liverpool Sound and Vision

“Ben Bostick is quite simply the greatest new reason to proclaim yourself proud to be a lover of country music. He brings such wit and wisdom to his brand of outsider country that he just might turn the whole outsider thing into the future mainstream of the genre.” - Parcbench Live

“Ben Bostick is an audacious, trailblazing messenger with enough promise to bode a paradigm shift in modern music.” - National Rock Review
