June 3, 2013, Jerome, Ariz. – Puscifer have set an Aug. 27th release date for All Re-Mixed Up, a track-for-track remix album of the band’s sophomore release Conditions of My Parole.

All Re-Mixed Up is the continuation of the Puscifer tradition to release alternate versions, reworks, and remixes of what we consider initial thoughts,” explained Maynard James Keenan.  “For instance, Carina Round was nervous about how to approach her version of ‘Telling Ghosts.’ Mat Mitchell put her at ease by asking her to think of it as a song half written, advising her to ‘now write the other half.’ It’s extremely liberating in the digital age to approach composing and creating in this manner. Infinite paths to explore, reinterpret, and re-present.”

All Re-Mixed Up comes on the heels of an incredibly busy period for the electro-rock outfit.  The band recently released the seven-song EP Donkey Punch The Night, which features covers of Queen’sBohemian Rhapsody” (see the video here: http://youtu.be/LjCu0UwDMNM) and Accept’sBalls To The Wall” as well as new songs “Breathe” and “Dear Brother.”

Puscifer, who are known for their all-encompassing live performances that integrate a variety of on-stage props and pre-recorded video pieces, performed at Coachella 2013, and made their first international outings at Australia’s Soundwave Festival and enthralled South American crowds at Lollapalooza Brazil and Chile.

Two-song EP Delivers Raw Emotion of Rebellious Lovers

_______________________________________

Los Angeles, CA – The evolution of the electric pop duo Ugly Kids Club always leaves you craving more, in response the duo is releasing a two-song EP, Rain & Bones, available now on iTunes. Known for making their own rules, Ugly Kids Club have once again found a way to pour their hearts and souls into every lyric to create an eclectic masterpiece with Rain & Bones. As more of the world discovers the magic of Ugly Kids Club, they continue to mould and shape their art to perfection.

Gut-wrenching harmonies and heart-bearing lyrics take the lead on the Ugly Kids Club’s new arrival. Band members Aliegh Shields, a part-time model, and Grammy-nominated producer Steve Wilson (The Juliana Theory and Jonezetta) each use their dynamic talents to add texture and depth to Steve’s own production Rain & Bones. The first track, “Rain,” brings to life the story of two lovers whose relentless love causes them to ignore each other’s tainted pasts. Driven by soft guitar chords and rumbling percussion’s, the song is taken to climactic heights by Aliegh’s strong, rich vocals. Wild guitars, swift melodic transitions and raging synths preside over the rebellious follow-up “Bones,” as Steve’s smooth tone dances under Aliegh’s soaring notes throughout the song.

Nashville’s fireball duo met in 2011 and soon decided to join forces after they realized they shared a love of minimalistic rock duos like Sleigh Bells, Crystal Castles, and The Kills. Soon after they released a self-titled EP and a music video that showcased their visual imagination as well as their musical chops. Both prolific songwriters, Aliegh and Steve also play the guitar, but have had diverse musical trainings.

Steve studied classical music formally and has played in a few professional bands, where as Aliegh developed her gifts performing on stage in church and at school. Though they walked different paths before the music gods brought them together, Ugly Kids Club effortlessly combine compelling musical elements and emotions as cohesive as a seasoned band would.

Check out below UGLY KIDS CLUB as they Rock-Out their single Get It All from their 2011 debut/ST album! Whoa!

Major rock bands such as The Police and Nirvana have influenced Ugly Kids Club’s raw and unfiltered sound. Their edgy personas carry over musically and have proven to be magnetic among crowds at music venues all around Tennessee. Aliegh and Steve aim to reach audiences across the nation with their music, and by the looks of it, that might not be long.

Stay tuned for the next installment of the duo’s six-part deluxe single & video series.
