So our bud Zak Ferrell has been taking advantage of his time off between touring all over the nation as the Guitarist for Sycamour. With help of some of our good friends like Brandan Keller, he has been making Music videos to showcase a series of covers. Shits been blowing up all over the internet.

This is long overdue. But we want you guys to know about our good friend Fernando Silverio Solis. You might recognize him as the front man for 1876. He started this acoustic side project called Goldblum. Smooth eloquent hooks matched of fluid melodies. So please check out his work and ladies feel free to fall in love with Goldblum. -Aren
Good things come to those who wait and to those who work hard! and these guys have spent the past year grinding away to reinvent this band! These dudes are straight killing it! Armed with a post apocalyptic death squad aesthetic, Banshee Pilot has us on the edge of our seats. I mean, we are pretty biased considering their bass player and one of our closest friends is the Brandan Keller a total video and photo wizard. Everything he touches for any other band is Gold. We cant wait to see what comes out of his brain for his own band! Check this video teaser they rocked for their song "If you wanted riches honey you shouldve married a doctor"
Download the ep for fans of heavy anthemic hooks with a pop soulful overtones. we expect huge huge things for these guys in the future! so get stoked and pay attention! -Aren
WELL THE WILSON BOYS HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. A NEW RECORD, INTERNATIONAL TOURS, AND SPENDING THEIR DAYS BANGING THEIR HEADS THOUSANDS OF FANS. WITH ALL OF THIS TIME ON THE ROAD THEY HAVENT LOST THEIR ROOTS HERE IN DETROIT.
CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME BACK STORY FOR RIGHT TO RISE:
"When we wrote the song we wanted to tell a story about the area of the world we live in. After traveling so much the past few years we realize the magnifying glass that the media has put on Detroit has damaged not only our city’s image but more importantly our PEOPLES’ image. We all struggle with life's weight no matter where we live in this world...our peoples’ story is not unlike the millions of other people out there put against the wall daily, cast aside as underdogs and thought of as "already dead". It's through the struggle to survive in those conditions that we create our strengths.
What we’ve tried to achieve visually is to tell a story thru the POV of a pack of dogs moving thru the blight of our city; the places most identifiable to the rest of the world. The abandoned house the band is performing in starts to crumble as the "underdogs" move from the rubble of our past into the present parts of Detroit's rebuild, showing our people coming together in strength to unite as one. It’s a picture of hope and growth through hard work, resilience and ingenuity, while honoring our past as we rise towards our future.
The video was produced and directed by Tradesmen Films and Chad Nicefield."
WELL WE ARE VERY STOKED AT VILE HQ ON SEEING ALL OF THIS PLACES THAT MAKE OUR HOME...OUR HOME. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO HERE! -AREN

Big things have been going down for the dudes in Undesirable People. We couldnt be more pleased with their release of Eternal Visions of the Blind Future. After a line up change Undesireable People has taken a turn for the more gritty but still more mature sounding band. check out this couch session vid they did for their track "Cosmic Man"
I wear a hat every single day, so I'm always on the lookout for new hat styles to wear! I'm really into snapbacks and fitted caps recently! I have quite a few of them, so I can always match to what I'm wearing that day!
Drake once said, "Text from a centerfold, I ain't reply, let 'em know I read it though," and I've never loved a lyric so much, because I can't tell you how many times I've done that. So when I first found Trius Garments, one of their most popular hats, went hand in hand with that idea, with their "I miss you read at 1:43AM," I got a good laugh out of it, and followed their Instagram for more! Trius has some tees, but I feel like they're mostly about their hats, and these hats are major!! I think they go very well with the whole 90's, internet, pale, minimal, style that's been very popular recently!
Definitely check out all of their merchandise, on the Trius website, but I also love their Instagram feed (@triusgarments) , so check them both out!
