MOTÖRHEAD

                        Under Cöver

 

Motörhead to release Under Cöver on September 1st, 2017

 

 

ONE THING Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee liked to do over their years together in Motörhead, was grab a favourite song by another artist and give it a good old fashioned ‘Motörheading’.  To run them through the Motörizer if you will.  To rock them, roll them and even give them an extra twist and edge.

 

 

In celebration of some of those finest moments, the band will release Under Cöver, a collection of some of their best covers, and a collection which will include the previously unreleased version of David Bowie’s timeless classic “Heroes”.  Recorded during the Bad Magic sessions in 2015 by Cameron Webb, and was one of the last songs the band recorded together.

 

To that ethic, the rest of the album contains loud and proud, raucous and raging Rock ‘N’ Roll takes on the likes of “God Save The Queen” (Sex Pistols), “Cat Scratch Fever” (Ted Nugent), “Rockaway Beach,” (The Ramones), Breaking The Law” (Judas Priest) and “Whiplash” (Metallica).

Beatrix Players 'Magnified'

Release 31.March 2017

Beatrix Players are a London-based all-female trio who make florid, adventurous music that operates at the interface between folk, singer-songwriter acoustica, prog and quasi-classical baroque chamber pop. There is a light, translucent quality to the music, and yet when it is not being hushed and reverent, it has the attack and thrust, the surging dynamism, of rock. It can be soft and intimate, but it can also be fiery and intense, epic and immense. There are tempestuous passages in their music that you can imagine being delivered by traditional rock instrumentation but it is the very absence of guitars and drums that means that there is nobody out there quite like Beatrix Players.

2016 - another year with loads of good music - but without Lemmy

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is no easy way to say this…our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today on December 28th, just four days after his 70th birthday, after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game with his family. 

 

 

 

We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren’t words.

 

 

 

We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please…play Motörhead loud, play Lemmy’s music LOUD. 

 

Have a drink or few.

 

Share stories.

 

Celebrate the LIFE this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself.

 

HE WOULD WANT EXACTLY THAT.
