Settle Your Scores Reach Zero Hour

Settle Your Scores are back with a dynamic and utterly fun new album, Better Luck Tomorrow, out now via SharpTone Records. Christian Fisher (vocals) states: "'Zero Hour' was the first song that Ricky wrote for Better Luck Tomorrow, so it sounds pretty similar to songs from The Wilderness. For me personally, this song sums up an overarching theme for Better Luck Tomorrow. Dwelling on your past mistakes won’t change your life; getting out there and pursuing your dreams will. When you focus too much on negativity and the past, the only person selling you short is yourself. This song is about realizing your potential and pursuing happiness. We worked with Enlighten Studios to film the music video in LA. The video turned out great. It was a sweaty, high energy shoot and it was a really fun time."

Formed in late 2014, Settle Your Scores wasted little time in establishing a name for themselves in the Midwest music scene and the digital sonisphere at large. With a well-established regional presence and an energetic, vibrant and bold live performance, the group unleashed their debut full-length record, The Wilderness, in January of 2016 and haven’t slowed down since. With nearly an hour of high-energy heavy pop punk under their belt, the outfit hit the road with the likes of Knockout Kid and For The Win, making several appearances at festivals throughout the Midwest and beyond.

Settle Your Scores’ hard work was not for naught — as the group remained busy on their highly-anticipated sophomore record as well as penning a deal with SharpTone Records, providing them a sprawling and diverse outlet through which to let loose the product of over two years of writing, touring and recording. With the doors to 2018 and beyond wide open, they are prepared to come out swinging, not stopping until they’re a well-established, effervescent force to be reckoned with on every continent.

 

 

Trampled By Turtles Announce Tour

Minnesota’s Trampled By Turtles have announced details of a November European tour, taking in a date at London’s Electric Ballroom on November 16. The band recently shared ‘The Middle’, the latest single to be taken from their forthcoming album Life Is Good On The Open Road, due for release via Thirty Tigers on June 1. The band will also be participating in Record Store Day 2018 by releasing a limited edition 7" vinyl record. The record, limited to 1500 copies, will feature a cover of the Tom Petty song, 'Wildflowers', and the title track from their upcoming album.

Life Is Good On The Open Road is the welcome return that the sextet’s passionate fans have been waiting for. Led by the songwriting of lead singer Dave Simonett, the new songs touch on key elements from the entire spectrum of Trampled By Turtles’ body of work, while creating something that sounds fresh and invigorated. Simonett, and bandmates Erik Berry, Ryan Young, Dave Carroll, Tim Saxhaug and Eamonn McLain reunited at a cabin in the Minnesota woods to see if the special chemistry they once shared still existed. It did not take long for the magic to reveal itself with an invigorated sense of purpose and the result shines brightly on Life Is Good On The Open Road.

After 15 years of recording and performing high-energy live shows, Trampled By Turtles have built a large and loyal fanbase that fill venues in their home of the US and here in the UK. As well as touring with the likes of Hiss Gold Messenger, Lord Huron and Deer Tick, Trampled By Turtles have performed at festivals including Bonnaroo, Coachella and Lollapalooza, and performed twice on the David Letterman show.
