Headstones Tear Through Their New Single “Psychotropic”

Canadian punk band, Headstones, puts the pedal to the metal in the new music video for “Psychotropic”. With unrelenting power chords and an intense charisma, there’s plenty to love about this new single as it steamrolls everything in its path.

Mixing the speeds of hardcore with the nonchalant theatrics of Devo, Headstones take a more minimalist approach with their visuals this time around with long shots of lead singer, Hugh Dillon, sneering directly into the camera. Beneath a pallet of psychedelic neon colors, the remaining shots of the band fly by unnaturally fast as the band zooms through the tune in under 3 minutes.

Bombastic is the word that comes to mind as Headstones demonstrates that this will be album with no holds barred. With reckless speeds and a biting attitude, all senses launch into overdrive with no looking back. And as the latest look into what Flight Risk has to offer, the band’s larger-than-life intentions are clear when it comes to the overwhelming force of their music.

“Psychotropic” is available now on major streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, TIDAL, and Pandora. The accompanying music video is also available on YouTube. Find this and more excellent music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify and YouTube.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
