LION RAJ
will be releasing his third single of 2019 called “Silence Screams” on the 20th of December.
It's a song about an uncertain relationship and unrequited love. Close your eyes and let the music take you on a dreamy trip while the lyrics break your heart.
The single cover of “Silence Screams”.

In the year 2000 he picked up the guitar for the first time, performing everywhere with his band “The Inside Job” and taking every opportunity he could.
He is now releasing his third single as a solo artist called “Silence Screams”, a song about the lack of communication between lovers or even unrequited love.
Photography by Daniel Saaiman Lion Raj tells how “Silence Screams” came to be...
“'Silence Screams' was written a long time ago, but I never had the opportunity to record it properly. The lyrics are pretty simple and explain what it is about. As with all my songs, most came to existence through personal experiences. It was heartbreak, confusion and many mixed signals which nearly drove me to madness at the time. Looking back at it now, it almost seems funny. I know for sure that there are people out there who have gone through or is currently going through something similar and I hope this song puts into words what they feel inside. Sometimes things just don't
work out because there is something better out there waiting for you. There has to be hope, that's what I am all about.”
LYRICS OF “SILENCE SCREAMS”
Written and performed by Lionel John Maharajah.
VERSE 1
Tell me to leave if I don't belong
Say you don't love me if it's true
Set me free from this maze
The silence screams in my face
CHORUS
All I know is that I love you
I'll forever will
Tell me what it is you hide inside
Say you love me or say you don't
Tell me to love you, I will
VERSE 2
My eyes motionless, lips speechless
My heart vicious and fearless
My heart is in rage inside it's cage
Where I have kept it for you
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE
I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your lies
I just don't know why
Tell me why

MUCH ACCLAIMED BRIT ROCKERS REVEAL NEW SINGLE & VIDEO!
UK alt-rockers SALTLAKE make a triumphant return with their engrossing new single, Bitter Pill - https://youtu.be/vuR5soLuMHk
SALTLAKE have engineered a sound that merges hooky choruses with expansive and soaring guitar work, and a beefy rhythm section that will blow the roof right off. The Sussex rockers are a trio with their roots firmly embedded in modern alternative rock. With their hard hitting, high octane live shows, the crew resemble rock giants of days gone by, yet their fresh sound will drop you straight back in the present day for something new and invigorating.
The UK tunesters have been making waves on the scene since the release of 2017’s Medicate Me EP, which placed the up-and-comers on the map. The release was widely lauded by Alex Baker at Kerrang! Radio, with the EP’s lead track, Badlands - racking multiple plays and unequivocal support. Since then, the alt-rockers have notched up further praise from Planet Rock, Kerrang! Radio, Dead Press, Hard Rock Hell Radio, Moshville and Maximum Volume Music.
The threesome are now primed to move up the ladder again with the release of their hugely anthemic new single, Bitter Pill. The single effortlessly balances melodic hooks with razor sharp riffery, framed by a thoughtful arrangement, and electronic soundscapes. Vocalist and guitarist, Henry Gottelier, remarks about the track: “Bitter Pill is a metaphor for the struggles of everyday life—being lost in a society that you just don’t seem to fit into, and the anxiety that comes with that—being the person that someone relies on, but never having it returned.”
With a flow of material planned for next year, as well as a series of profile live shows, 2020 is destined to be the band’s big year.

#tiorrblog Nalé
Nalé is an indie folk-rock band from Lausanne, Switzerland. The Band was formed in 2011.
Inspired by Wilco, Tom Waits, Elliott Smith, Shannon Wright, The Cowboy Junkies, or The Black
Keys Nalé takes a tender and nostalgic look upon what happens on the outside.
Their fist album named “Les contre-jours” was released in 2012 and gained several Swiss music
awards in 2013. It has therefore been regularly played on the French Swiss Radio.
With the release of their second album “Behind The Scenes” in 2016 the band continued their
musical research with English lyrics and more bluesy sounds and went even more into depth
with their 2018 EP “Blind Souls”.
An unplugged version of Nalé has been tested lately at a living concert. It was a great success!
There is no doubt, it is within such an intimate atmosphere that the depth of Nalé’s poetry and
music are best expressed.

THE COLLISION
BRIT POP METAL CREW RELEASE NEW SINGLE!
UK newcomers THE COLLISION are set to etch a prominent name for themselves aided by the release of their new single and video, Unbelievable - https://youtu.be/f9y7KlmvP4w which features Jot Maxi from Hacktivist. Dishing up a sound influenced by heavier genres in synergy with harmonic vocal melodies and leading synths, the live-wired quartet deliver high energy riffs framed by catchy choruses.
Originally formed in 2017, THE COLLISION started life as an indie rock band. However, as their set and stage craft developed, the foursome swayed to a heavier sound and calling. Comprised of vocalist Lewis Smith, Tom Copeland on Bass, blood brothers Evan and Chris Latter (Guitarist and Drummer respectively), THE COLLISION now have a formidable and accomplished manifesto.
Touring throughout the UK, supporting Mallory Knox, Hoosiers, Lona, As December Falls, and Wildfront, THE COLLISION’s profile is certainly on the rise. Aided too by critical acclaim and support from BBC introducing, ITV Meridian, Express FM, Eagle Radio, and Its All Indie, the time is right for the band to strike out to a higher level.
THE COLLISION remark about their new single: “‘Unbelievable’ takes the band in a whole new direction—the single joins together ambient synth verses, with hard hitting choruses, taking The Collision to new highs. This is us! This is the New Age!”. With a UK tour penned for 2020 and further singles on the way, THE COLLISION are destined to soar.

BRIT ROCK CREW REVEAL NEW VIDEO!
High flying UK alt-rockers MAVEN have just dropped a brand new video for the track, Stronger Than You https://youtu.be/kOpMU2X7qJs , which is taken from their breath-taking new EP, Am I Awake?, out now.
MAVEN pull everyone from Thrice, Bring Me The Horizon, Architects to Don Broco, and despatch a sound that is soaked with layered guitars and anthemic vocals.
Born in 2013, MAVEN have suffered a series of personnel changes, which has restricted their trajectory. However, now with a fully stable line-up and revitalised sound, the tuneful Londoners are primed to break out to the masses. A slew of live shows with everyone from Crazy Town, Elliot Minor, The Feeling, Dream State, and Normandie to Deaf Havana, has increased the band’s stock, and so too have recent compelling headline shows. The band’s last EP, Closed Doors, Open Minds, picked up powerful underground support and traction, adding to their growing stature.
MAVEN have now released their stunning new EP, Am I Awake? The record is a calling for all rock fans with its smart phrasing, engaging riffs and hooky refrains. Dispatching three gloriously ultra-magnetitic cuts, from the towering astuteness and attack of new single, Stronger Than You, to the emotive anthemic draw and dynamism of Heart Time, and to the closer, Am I Alive?, the record highlights the band’s maturity and deft ability to deliver a killer song with inspired arrangements. This is such an accomplished release that will harness an audience and command your attention. Look out for the band in 2020!

BUSHI
THE FLAWLESS AVENGER
www.facebook.com/BushiOfficial
Label:
Infinity entertainment: http://www.infinity-entertainment.eu/
Press:
Infinity Entertainment (worldwide)
Doppio Clic Promotion (Italy)
BUSHI - The Flawless Avenger
Bushi is the brainchild of Alessandro Vagnoni (drummer for Bologna Violenta, Ronin and
multi-instrumentalist for his onemanband project Drovag), here as guitarist and
composer/arranger/lyricist of all the songs. The debut album (self-titled) has been released
in September 2017 via Dischi Bervisti, an independent label run by Nicola Manzan
(Bologna Violenta, Ronin).
Born as a trio, Bushi is now a quartet with the sax player Sergio Pomante (ex-Ulan Bator,
String Theory) joining Davide Scode (bass) and Fabrizio Baioni (drums).
Credits:
Music and lyrics: Alessandro Vagnoni
Vocal arrangement: Davide Scode and Alessandro Vagnoni
Bass and vocals recorded by Davide Scode.
Drums and tenor saxophone recorded by Sergio Pomante at Noiselab Studio.
Guitar, mixing and engineering by Alessandro Vagnoni at Plaster Productions.
Mastering by Sergio Pomante. Drawings and graphic design by Francesco Farneselli.
The iconic and lyrical imagery of BUSHI is inspired by the Samurai epic, characterized by
the contradiction between pride and disgrace, refinement and cruelty, prestige and
decadence. The texts are short poems (haiku, a typical meter of Japanese poetry), each
inspired by the precepts of the military and philosophical schools of these noble warriors.
In this record all the haikus were made starting from the events or precepts contained in
the Hagakure book (the title of each track contains the reference to the chapter and
paragraph).

Lem Bio #tiorrblog
Lem
Bio
Long time singer, songwriter and band member Lem is back from a long stint in Melbourne. With his first solo EP, “AjilA”, quietly released in November 2019 he's been busier than ever.
Being an acoustic player and growing up (musically) in the early 00's metal scene in Perth certainly makes for an interesting mix.
This eclectic mix of influences (from Something for Kate to System of a Down to Flight of the Conchords & Queens of the Stone Age) make for original and dynamic debut.
AjilA is an odd collection of rock, folk, jazz and blues with a mild smattering of silliness. Being first and foremost a vocalist, the release is lyrically and melodically strong with a focus on rich
harmonies.
Not content with solo projects Lem has also taken up the mantle of (co) lead singer for off-beat outfit The Terror Adaptors as well as quietly working away on some older projects.
With a new single due to be released in the next few months and his first full length album on the horizon its seems there's no rest for the wicked!
