The Picturebooks - Electric Nights

The German Garage Rock Duo THE PICTUREBOOKS have released a new single "Electric Nights", the a second glimpse on their upcoming album "The Hands Of Time", out March 8th, 2019.

“’Electric Nights’ is about getting lost and driving endless miles through endless nights without any purpose or destination other than simply losing yourself and finding the truth in the present instead. We’ve all been there and once we fixed the theme, the music came naturally. We wrote and recorded the song in less than a day,” comments THE PICTUREBOOKS.

Along with the upcoming album, THE PICTUREBOOKS recently announced their UK & EU Headline Tour and before releasing "The Hands Of Time" THE PICTUREBOOKS will be on the road in Canada together with MONSTER TRUCK, see all the dates below.

Today's tune "Electric Nights" is taken from the album "The Hands Of Time", out March 8th, 2019. Directed by THE PICTUREBOOKS and Claus Grabke, filmed and edited by Claus Grabke, Danny Kötter, "Putte" Backlund, Paul Joy, Olivia Johnston and Fynn Claus Grabke. This video was filmed on tour throughout Europe in 2018. Enjoy!

Monster Truck - Seven Seas Blues

Today we travel a bit north and stops in Canada were we find a Blues Rock Band "Monster Truck" from Hamilton. The band plays a tonal hybrid of the excitement of 70's rock melded with the best elements of what the 90's had to offer. Which could summarize the diesel-smelling classic rock riffs and powerful vocals.

The band was formed in 2009 by Jon Harvey (Bass & Lead vocals), Jeremy Widerman (Guitar & Vocals), Brandon Bliss (Organ & Vocals) and Steve Kiely (Drums & Vocals) as somewhat of a side-project for their other more serious bands (The Reason, Saint Alvia). Quickly the original plan of getting wasted and playing sloppy rock got twisted into something new entirely. Everyone's influences gelled in a cohesive and exciting new take on all of the classic rock that had come before them. Quickly show offers piled up as well as festival slots and the band realized that they had something that was undeniably fun and exciting on their hands.

Two EP's have been released since the band's inception. The first self-titled EP was recorded by Gus Van Go & Werner F (The Stills, Preistess, Hollerado) and was received with open arms and ears by eager fans in August of 2010. Eager to follow up the recording the band hit the studio and tracked “The Brown EP” with Eric Ratz (Billy Talent, Cancer Bats, Three Days Grace). The four songs it contains not only shows a firm grasp of the classic roots that enabled this group but also their ability to add in flavours of grunge and punk era greats they loved so dearly.

Today's music is actually based on a tip from a good colleague "Jojje" which actually share the taste in music with me, which is fun when you can juggle bands between each other.

Todays tune "Seven Seas Blues" is taken from their second ep “The Brown EP”.


The band is also so nice that they gives away the EP, download it here. Support the band with buying a t-shirt or a CD.
