Originally the solo project of Peter Field, formerly of punk bands Senseless and Ambassadors of Shalom, Peter118 stormed onto the scene with the release ‘Make It Or Break It’ EP in 2014, when Field was joined by his wife Janine on bass and backing vocals, and friend Sam on drums to form fully fledged three-piece punk outfit.
2016’s ‘Need You More’ EP marked a pivotal point in Peter118’s career when they won the support of legendary KROQ DJ Rodney Bingenheimer in LA who championed the lead single. Rodney still champions the band today on his SiriusXM show.
With their recent releases, the band has gained airplay on Kerrang! Radio, Total Rock, ARFM, FCUM, Primordial Radio, Touch FM, Radio KC, The Mike James Rock Show and a plethora of other stations all over the world.
They’ve been featured on With Guitars, Pure Grain Audio, Spin Sunday Reviews, and The Ringmaster Review and they’re looking forward to seeing what 2019 will bring.
Money and Lies are featured on a “split e.p.” with American band The Bricks on Raven Faith Records and is available now.

The 109’s – The Pound
The 109’s are a Hampshire (UK) based four-piece who celebrate a mutual love of the late ’60s and early ’70s rock – Sabbath, Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Who, MC5, Grand Funk Railroad. This melting pot of influences has created a blistering, dynamic fusion of all that is best in rock, and their music has garnered praise from DJs and gig-goers alike.
On The Pound, the band says: “Everyone in the band is a massive AC/DC fan, and we all wanted to write a tune that would possess a Bon Scott type of swagger without sounding derivative. The Pound is our attempt at that: a chunky riff, some slashing open chords, and a ‘Too bad, girl, but I’m out of here’ type lyric”.
The release of the album brought immediate attention from prestigious UK stations such as Kerrang! Radio and Planet Rock. Tracks from the album have also been in continuous rotation on radio stations across the USA, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
The musicians come from strong improvisational backgrounds and write their songs as a collective, jamming until they find riffs, melody lines and unusual rhythms and cadences that can be boiled down into short, punchy song structures that strut effortlessly through complex, unexpected changes.
“Taking the sleaze and swagger of the ‘70s and combining it with a loose and laid back ‘60s approach, The 109s are both timely and timeless. The four-piece will appeal to anyone who likes their rock with an amphetamine chaser!”
– Louder Than WarThe album has been produced by Jason Wilson, at Stakeout Studios who has produced bands such as ‘Don Broco’ and ‘You Me At Six’. Jason has translated the tremendous power and passion of the band’s live performances into recorded songs that have an equal sense of aggression and grandeur.
Lead guitarist, Matty P, is also an internationally published author and member of the UK Crime Writers Association. He has published four novels in the UK to date – Scarecrow, Stolen Lives, Broken Arrow and Werewolf - under the name of Matthew Pritchard, and was nominated for the CWA’s Gold Dagger Award.

LaRissa Vienna and the Strange – Haunted
Denver, CO based Alternative Rock Band LaRissa Vienna and the Strange has revealed the Official Music Video for their single, “Haunted,” off of their upcoming, debut LP Neptune VII, due out September 1st. “Haunted” was directed by Daniel Rachlitz and Demi Dehererra.
“I wrote Haunted” about the guilt of missing someone from your past. It is a song about the shame of desiring things you can’t have. For the music video, each band member has a storyline of what “haunts” them, whether it be relationships, alcohol abuse, or mental illness. Everyone has that one thing that haunts them, and in the music video, we wear it on our sleeves.”
– LaRissa ViennaInfluenced by David Bowie, Marilyn Manson and Shirley Temple (with a tattoo on her shoulder to match), LaRissa Vienna is a force to be reckoned with. Her somber, ghostly rock tunes will entrance you and run chills down your spine while the melodic, story-telling guitar mixed perfectly with the melancholy tones of her voice and the bass stays loyal to the hard-hitting drums.
Despite the soothing rock tones, LaRissa Vienna’s live show is nothing short of electric; despite standing only 4 feet 11 inches tall, her fiery energy demands the attention of every soul in the audience.
Starting out as a solo artist in 2008, LaRissa Vienna made her mark on the Denver music scene by writing and producing her own music, which she dubs “spooky rock.” Coming off of the local success of her 2015 and 2016 EPs, Strange Siren and Make the Pain Pretty respectively, and having had accumulated over 100,000 views on her “Underwater” music video within just a month of its release, Vienna is set to release her debut album, entitled Neptune VII” in September 2017.
There’s a definite camaraderie on the project, which finds her further honing her craft and establishing herself as a versatile artist within the rock realm, navigating the genre with grace and authority. Centering at its core around reconnecting with your inner child, the album’s lyrical content tackles the subject of facing the inevitable changes that come with growing older. Never shying away from autobiographical honesty, what results is arguably Vienna’s most personal project to date, embracing change and heartbreak as a natural course of life.
“The Strange” is Nick Workman – the lead guitarist with wild hair who has experience in every style. Aaron Mendoza on bass, influenced by The Cure and Coheed and Cambria, has experience in experimental bands and plays perfectly with the compelling drum styles of Luke Wolff. The classically-trained violinist Vanity Welch adds a perfect unique touch to the band.
LaRissa Vienna and the Strange intend to inspire and influence fans to be creative and express themselves by leading by example.

Super bob – Freak
Lyrics:
I seen your 7 figure grin from across the room
I see your patience are short with all these dancing fools
I see that you’re the type of girl that likes a tattoo
I seen the way you looked at me when I came walking through
So don’t hesitate, blow a single night left alone
Now don’t let the night go, Nah don’t let it goDon’t wanna hear you speak
I wanna make you scream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t –take my hand
Be at it till we’re weak
All night just like a dream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t-take my handLike a freak, like a freak, like a freak,
I might not know your name
But I don’t even care
I got a room right down the street
I’d like to take you there
We’ll hold up for the night
Just tell me what you like
I can see you’re ready by that dirty look that’s in your eyes
So don’t hesitate, blow a single night left alone
Now don’t let the night go, Nah don’t let it goDon’t wanna hear you speak
I wanna make you scream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t –take my hand
Be at it till we’re weak
All night just like a dream
Come get it like a freak
t-t-t-t-take my handLike a freak, like a freak, like a freak,
I prefer to be alone
By the look on your face, I see that you know
Just what I mean, you grab my hand and quickly we go
Out through the back door
You Lean into my ear
Say that you’re down for anything, NO FEARLINKS:
