The song 'Weakness Is a Magnet' is about being your own worst enemy, or rather, getting trapped in a downward spiral of negativity from which there seems to be no escape. It is about trying to fight against a feeling of hopelessness and how difficult that struggle can be. In the music video, the protagonist is being confronted by his inner demons, but it remains unclear to the protagonist why they are haunting him. He seems to have fallen into a fugue state. Only traumatic flashbacks give him hints of what may have lead to an inescapable feeling of guilt and fear. The video is filled with and eerie interplay of dissonance and unpredictability, leaving the viewer able to identify with the sense of discomfort of the protagonist.
Filthy Felons is a post-hardcore band from the city of Utrecht in The Netherlands. They have been growing ever stronger since starting out in 2014, playing heavy hitting tracks and making crowds throw down wherever they go. They're influences contain bands such as Everytime I Die, Comeback Kid, Feed the Rhino, and Thrice and they blend this together to form a mix that is both raw and melodic. Since playing live shows they have won one band competition after another, which started creating a buzz and increasing their presence in the Dutch heavy music scene. They've released they're first EP in 2017 with producer Daan Nieboer of hardcore band 18 Miles and are now preparing for the recording of their first full length album from which the first single has just been released called "Weakness Is a Magnet". The new track gives a glimpse of a heavier side of Filthy Felons and songs to come. In the meantime they are touring around Europe to get their name out there.
"Nosedive” is a song about the dangers of media messaging tactics that reinforce a false or questionable narrative. It’s a cautionary song that’s painfully relevant to both American & Canadian politics at this point in history. The music video is a visual manifestation of the sense of helplessness and frustration that the song embodies.
Canada’s progressive modern rock four piece IDUNA brings emotionally raw and sonically polished original music to the masses, taking on the challenges of our world today in both word and action. Passionate and heavy, their twin lead vocal and guitar-driven sound never lets up thanks to the melodic and lyrical interplay between Jason Craig and Trison Boyes. Ethereal atmospherics give way to thunderous riffs, driving rhythms, and layers of deep groove courtesy of bassist Tim Saulnier. Anchored by the precise and powerful drumming of Craig Koziar, Jason and Trison’s guitars and voices soar triumphantly, sometimes accusingly, always with honest, often gut-wrenching emotion.
Decisive and questioning lyrically, in many ways IDUNA’s music presents opposite sides of the same coin. This approach is reflected in their sensibilities that pay homage to the loud-soft dynamics of the grunge era and builds on the fundamental sounds of modern alternative rock with a deepening melodic intensity, clarity and stunning harmonies to match. Through their music, IDUNA carries a hope for the future while also pining for a past that is just out of reach.
The video is compiled of footage taken from Next Year's UK Tour in April 2018.
