Los Angeles – Palms, the Los Angeles-based band featuring members of ISIS and Deftones, have posted an album trailer (see below) featuring music from their forthcoming, self-titled debut (June 25, Ipecac Recordings).

A variety of pre-order bundles have also been made available including limited edition vinyl (5 colors are available in 200 piece editions), t-shirts and posters.  The packages can be found via: http://www.bluecollardistro.com/categories.php?cPath=1657.

A digital pre-order from iTunes gives users immediate access to the song Tropics (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/palms/id644888681).

Patagonia, a song from the upcoming album, is streaming via Pitchfork (http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/15371-palms-patagonia/).

The band have also announced their first tour dates: a four-date west coast run this July with stops in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and San Francisco:

July 10 – San Diego, CA @ Belly Up Tavern

July 11 – Santa Ana CA @ The Observatory

July 12 – Los Angeles, CA @ The Troubadour —– SOLD OUT

July 13 – San Francisco, CA @ Slim’s

Palms came together following the demise of ISIS, with Jeff Caxide (bass), Aaron Harris, (drums) and Clifford Meyer (keyboards/guitar) electing to continue playing music together.  “After a little time Jeff, Cliff, and I decided that it was insane that we all still lived here in Los Angeles and weren’t playing together,” Harris says. “It just sort of happened naturally, probably because we have been playing together for so long, and things started to come together. But we didn’t want to be instrumental: We wanted vocals. We just weren’t exactly sure who that would be at first.”  The band, knowing that Chino Moreno (Deftones) had been a fan of ISIS, thought he would be a great fit and he agreed.  “A chance to work with the guys from ISIS sounded like a lot of fun,” Moreno says, “I’ve always been into the atmospheric sounds they had created with that project and felt my sense of melody would meld well with theirs.”

WHITESNAKE – “Made In Britain” Releases This July, Via Frontiers Records

Posted in classic rock, classic rock bands, Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock news, Music, rock albums, rock music, rock music news with tags , , , , , on June 2, 2013 by Metal Odyssey

Whitesnake - Made-in-Britain

During 2011, the mighty Whitesnake embarked on one of their most successful world tours in recent times, performing 96 shows in over 35 countries, starting in North America in May right the way through until the 2nd UK run in December…

The request for another live album came from the incredible Whitesnake fans, who are notoriously not shy about insisting what they want from their favorite musical reptiles…So, before heading out on the ‘FOREVERMORE WORLD TOUR 2011’, the decision was made to record every performance on the tour….

After spending the early part of 2012 editing and mixing the “WHITESNAKE MADE IN JAPAN” DVD the production team The Brutal Brothers, DC, Doug & Mikey Mac had the task of listening back to over 90 shows and 130 hours of 100% raw, muscular WHITESNAKE performances began in earnest…

________________________________

Inspired by the performances from the 9 sold out UK shows and and a further 87 performances from around the world, the CD MADE IN BRITAIN & it’s accompanying CD THE WORLD RECORD was born.

The recent ‘FOREVERMORE” songs shine as brightly as the classic Whitesnake songs, “IS THIS LOVE” …”STILL OF THE NIGHT” and “HERE I GO AGAIN,” all performed with feverish energy, encouraged by remarkably enthusiastic audiences from NEWCASTLE to SAO PAOLO…

Once again, WHITESNAKE have delivered the goods that fans new and old, have been clamoring for…& make no mistake,this is WHITESNAKE at their finest & most electrifying…now YOU can relive the energy, the passion, the brilliance of a band still as resoundingly relevant today as they have ever been…

Euro Release date: July 5th, 2013

USA Release date: July 9th, 2013
