MAGNOLIA PARK DROPS HALLOWEEN MIXTAPE II THIS WEEK!!!

Gatefold w/ CD sized booklet. Magnolia Park, the Florida based genre-bending alternative rock band who play more than 200 shows a year, are releasing their third album, entitled Halloween Mixtape II. The band’s following has grown substantially in the past year (with over 710k TikTok followers/ 63M views, 187k Instagram followers), as they move from opening slots on tours with everyone from Sum 41 to Simple Plan, to sold out headline tours and top slots at festivals including When We Were Young (LV /Oct 23), Reading (UK) and Leeds (UK). It’s no secret that Epitaph Records has been the breeding ground for some of the most legendary bands in existence and Magnolia Park carry on in that tradition. Since forming in Orlando, Florida, in 2019, the five-piece act-vocalist Joshua Roberts, guitarists Tristan Torres and Freddie Criales, drummer Joe Horsham and keyboardist Vincent Ernst-have released two albums, three EPs, and a handful of singles, bringing their upbeat brand of alt-rock to the masses.

While Magnolia Park’s music is at times lighthearted, the ethnically diverse band are also serious about spreading a message of inclusivity and inspiring other kids like them to start bands as a form of creative expression.

“Our goal when we’re together is to make sure the next generation doesn’t have to face as much racial backlash for being a rock band,” Torres explains. “In the industry, people look at us a certain way and try to impose things on us-and we want to make sure the next generation of rock bands don’t have to go through what we’ve been through.”

METAL LEGENDS KATATONIA GETS A NEW RELEASE OF THEIR ’97 CLASSIC DISCOURAGED ONES!

‘Discouraged Ones’ was recorded in 1997 at the infamous Sunlight Studios by Fred Estby & Tomas Skogsberg (Entombed, Dismember) & released the following year. ‘Discouraged Ones’ saw a new direction change with the epic compositions of old replaced with stripped down, compact structures to make room for new vocal harmonies courtesy of Jonas Renkse (who also played drums on the album), putting an end to the growling vocal style from prior releases & giving the band a broader appeal which only helped their trajectory towards being established on the global stage.

This edition of ‘Discouraged Ones’ is presented on black vinyl, containing the album’s original cover artwork, including printed inner sleeve with lyrics. – Upon release, ‘Discouraged Ones’ was seen as somewhat of a breakthrough opus for Katatonia which undoubtedly planted the seeds, stylistically, of what the band evolved into & represent to this day, even though more progressive elements were integrated over time. Overall, ‘Discouraged Ones’ is a pinnacle of dark, gothic rock/metal excellence combined with ethereal, trance-like intensity.
