<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative Metal</h3>



<p>with ass-kick guarantee is announced with the troop of DRAGGED UNDER <a href="https://m.facebook.com/DraggedUnder">(Facebook)</a> from the USA. Their music is composed of the different areas of Rock and Metal, but they don&#8217;t lose their individuality. I first noticed DRAGGED UNDER with the <strong>song &#8222;Hypochondra&#8220;</strong>. With that, DRAGGED UNDER caught my attention. <strong>It is dark, aggressive and an insanely energetic track. </strong></p>



<p><strong>In general they offer alternative powerful Metal, which is partly based on the catchy melodic sound of the 90s. They also don&#8217;t shy away from pushing the gas pedal all the way to the limit and they like to drive through dirty off-road terrain.</strong> On <strong>13.11.2020</strong> DRAGGED UNDER will release their debut <strong>album &#8222;The World Is In Your Way&#8220;</strong> under the label MASCOT RECORDS in a <strong>Deluxe Edition, which includes two new bonus songs.</strong></p>

</div></figure>



<p>DRAGGED UNDER have a biting tiger in their tank.<strong> So you can find some good mood rock numbers with a punk attitude </strong>like &#8222;Feel It&#8220; or &#8222;Chelsea&#8220;<strong>. Often there is an escalation when Toni lets the tiger out and spices up the songs with a furious load of aggressive core. </strong>This mixture is… </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">highly flammable.</h3>



<p>With the video from the socially critical song &#8222;Riot&#8220; you get an impression of how the boys go out and party on stage. <strong>They really have fire in their asses and therefore the spark easily jumps over to the audience, so that a fire develops quickly and the hut burns.</strong></p>

</div><figcaption>Da geht mal die Post ab!</figcaption></figure>



<p>Here is a <strong>comment from singer Tony</strong> about the song:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“Life, social media, the news can drag you under. Facebook, Twitter and all these things are just to distract you. We realize that the world is trying to drag us down. Maybe there are people in your life who try to prevent you from succeeding. And only when these people are out of the way you can really do your thing. You can only trust yourself. There is no minority that is smaller than the individual.”</p><cite>Press material from NETINFECT Promotion</cite></blockquote>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Result</h3>



<p>DRAGGED UNDERS are not a bit quiet, they really kick ass.<strong> The music races into the ears with explosive craziness paired with catchy hooks.  </strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alternative-Metal</h3>



<p>mit Arschtritt-Garantie ist bei der Truppe von DRAGGED UNDER (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DraggedUnder">Facebook</a>) aus den USA angesagt. Ihre Musik setzt sich aus verschiedenen Bereichen des Rock und Metal zusammen, verliert dabei aber nicht ihre Eigenständigkeit. Dabei sind mir DRAGGED UNDER mit dem Song &#8222;<strong>Hypochondra</strong>&#8220; zum ersten Mal aufgefallen. Dieser Song hat mich aufhorchen lassen. <strong> Er gibt sich düster und aggressiv</strong> mit melodischem Anteil. Allgemein wird bei DRAGGED UNDER <strong>alternativer druckvoller Metal geboten, der sich teils am catchy melodischen Sound der 90´er anlehnt.</strong> <strong>Man scheut sich auch nicht, das Gaspedal bis zum Anschlag durchzutreten und fährt dabei auch gerne mal durch dreckiges Off-Road-Gelände.</strong> Am <strong>13.11.2020</strong> werden DRAGGED UNDER ihr Debütalbum <strong>&#8222;The World Is In Your Way&#8220;</strong> noch mal unter dem Label <strong>MASCOT RECORDS</strong> in einer <strong>Deluxe Edition veröffentlichen, die zwei Bonussongs enthält. </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<div class="video-container"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Dragged Under - Hypochondria (Official Video)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Hl8xFuW3Xlo?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div></figure>



<p><strong>DRAGGED UNDER haben mächtig Dampf auf dem Kessel.</strong> So finden sich auf dem Album einige <strong>Gute-Laune-Rock Nummer mit punkiger Attitüde</strong> wie beispielsweise &#8222;Feel It&#8220; oder &#8222;Chelsea&#8220;. Häufig geht es mit Sänger Tony mal so richtig durch und es kommt zur durchschlagenden Eskalation, wenn er die Songs <strong>mit einer wütenden Ladung aggressivem Core würzt.</strong> Diese Mischung ist&#8230;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">leicht entzündlich.</h3>



<p>Mit dem <strong>sozialkritischen Song &#8222;Riot&#8220; </strong>bekommt Ihr gleich einen Eindruck davon, wie die Jungs auf der Bühne abgehen und abfeiern. <strong>Die haben richtig Feuer im Arsch und da springt der Funke leicht auf das Publikum über, so dass sich dort schnell ein Flächenbrand entwickelt und die Hütte brennt. </strong></p>

</div><figcaption>Da geht mal die Post ab!</figcaption></figure>



<p>Hier noch ein Kommentar von Sänger Tony zu dem Song:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“Das Leben, die sozialen Medien, die Nachrichten können einen unter die Räder bringen (&#8222;drag you under&#8220; im englischen). Facebook, Twitter und all diese Dinge sollen dich nur ablenken. Wir stellen fest, dass die Welt versucht uns herunterzuziehen. Vielleicht gibt es in deinem Leben Menschen die versuchen deinen Erfolg zu verhindern. Und erst wenn diese Personen aus dem Weg geräumt sind, kannst du wirklich dein Ding machen. Du kannst nur dir selber vertrauen. Es gibt keine Minderheit, die kleiner ist als der Einzelne.”</p><cite>Pressetext über NETINFECT</cite></blockquote>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit</h3>



<p>DRAGGED UNDER sind kein bisschen leise, sondern hauen richtig auf den Putz. <strong>Die Musik fetzt mit explosiver Craziness gepaart mit catchigen Hooks in die Gehörgänge.  </strong></p>

<p><strong>Die neue Ausgabe von HÖRET &amp; SEHET mit GHØSTKID, DYING WISH, DRAGGED UNDER</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">GHØSTKID</h3>



<p>ist eine neue Band und doch eigentlich sehr bekannt. Zumindest ist der <strong>Gründer und Sänger der Band</strong> nun wirklich kein Neuer in der Metalwelt.<strong> Sebastian &#8222;Sushi&#8220; Biesler</strong> war<strong> 10 Jahre der Sänger von ESKIMO CALLBOY</strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/eskimocallboy">Facebook</a>). <strong>Anfang 2020 trennten sich allerdings die Wege. Sushi hatte wohl musiktechnisch andere Sachen im Kopf</strong>, die er realisieren wollte. Diesen Weg sah er bei ESKIMO CALLBOY nicht. Wen man die neuen Singles der Bands vergleicht, ist dieser Entschluss leicht nachvollziehbar. <strong>Während ESKIMO CALLBOY eher die Metalcore Spaßschiene fahren, wählen <strong>GHØSTKID</strong></strong> (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ghostkidofficial">Facebook</a>)<strong> eindeutig einen ernsteren härteren Ansatz </strong>und klotzen mit einem brachialen Sound, der bei dem <strong>Video &#8222;Supernova&#8220; </strong>durch den <strong>Gastsänger Marcus Bischoff (HEAVEN SHALL BURN) </strong>noch einen zusätzlichen fetten Bonus erhält. Aber vergleicht doch einfach selbst.<strong> Das neue selbstbetitelte Album &#8222;GHØSTKID&#8220;  erscheint am 13. November.</strong></p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DYING WISH</h3>



<p><strong>aus Ungarn (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dyingwishhungary">Facebook</a>) haben mich mit dem Video &#8222;Üvöltő sötét&#8220; gepackt und mitgerissen.</strong> <strong>Verdammt flotte eingängige Nummer, die mit einem echt geilen fesselnden Refrain zu begeistern weiß. </strong>Die Lieder auf dem<strong> Album &#8222;Üvöltő sötét&#8220;</strong> sind alle in der Landessprache gesungen und haben dadurch noch mal einen Besonderheitsfaktor. <strong>Ich habe es mir jedenfalls komplett angehört und ich kann es nur empfehlen. Das Ding macht echt Laune.</strong> (Anhören und kaufen <a href="https://www.amazon.de/%C3%9Cv%C3%B6lt%C5%91-s%C3%B6t%C3%A9t-Dying-Wish/dp/B07YQ2P3KB/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=%C3%9Cv%C3%B6lt%C5%91+s%C3%B6t%C3%A9t&amp;qid=1601432124&amp;sr=8-1">hier</a> ) </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">DRAGGED UNDER</h3>



<p><strong>aus den USA geben sich vielseitig.</strong> In ihren Songs verarbeiten sie verschiedene Stile aus dem Metalbereich. Der <strong>Song &#8222;Hypochondra&#8220; gibt sich düster und aggressiv. </strong>Ein wahnsinnig energiereicher Track, der alles zu bieten hat. <strong>Moderner alternativer Metal mit einer Prise Hardcore gewürzt. </strong>Das ist schmackhaft mit einer angenehmen Schärfe. </p>

<p><strong>Das Debütalbum von DRAGGED UNDER (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/DraggedUnder">Facebook</a>) &#8222;The World Is In Your Way&#8220; wird am 13. November in einer Deluxe-Variante erscheinen. </strong>Dabei wird es <strong>zwei Bonustracks</strong> auf dem Album geben, <strong>unter anderem &#8222;Just Like Me&#8220;</strong>. Dieser <strong>speedige Track mit Punkfeeling </strong>vermittelt gute Laune und ist mit einem schönen lustigen Video in Szene gesetzt. Scheint eine echt sympathische authentische Truppe zu sein. Viel Spaß!</p>



<p>Hier ein Kommentar zum Song vom Sänger Tony:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>„In meinem Leben kämpfe ich einen nicht endenden Kampf um angepasst zu leben, oder eben herauszustechen. Manchmal hab ich es einfach satt, ich selbst zu sein. Oft hast du keine Kontrolle über dein Bewusstsein. Du bist körperlich abhängig von vielen Dingen und gibst diese deinem Körper, wo hingegen dein Verstand sagt: „Warum zum Teufel machst Du das?“ Der Song handelt auch von meiner Persönlichkeit und darum, wie ich mich gegenüber Menschen, die mir wichtig sind, verhalte.</p><p></p><cite>NETINFEKT Promotion &amp; Marketing</cite></blockquote>

<p>Interview mit Eric Walden von AGR Publicity</p>



<p>Hi Eric, my name is Amir and I´m one of the founders of <strong>metal-heads.de</strong>, the music magazine for fans of the heavy side of music. Our attitude is: Distortion is our passion! So anything goes, using an electric guitar. I was interested to hear of the start of <strong>AGR Publicity</strong> and wanted to learn more about it and tell our readers the story. So here we go…</p>



<p>MH: I bet you must have a strong relation to music to decide to deal with this subject as a business. How did your musical interest develop and when/<strong>why did you decide to focus on „heavy“ music?</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How it all began&#8230;</h2>



<p>EW: Hi Amir, Thanks for asking. <strong>Growing up, I was really into video games. Some of those games had great soundtracks,</strong> like Need For Speed Underground, Guitar Hero 3, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Those games introduced me to some great aggressive music like Story Of The Year, All That Remains, and Static-X.</p>

<p>MH: let´s start quite in the beginning of the company. I´d be interested to know, how you got into starting this company? Who´s idea was it and how did it begin and develop?</p>



<p>EW: <strong>I started going to rock and metal shows pretty often</strong> and was given the opportunity to write reviews and interviews for<a href="http://soundcheck411.com/"> Soundcheck411</a>. I wanted to switch my focus to local bands, so I started my own site<a href="http://www.bythebarricade.com/"> By The Barricade</a> the following year. We worked with some bands and created a compilation album. That prompted the creation of<a href="https://awfullygoodrecords.com/"> Awfully Good Records</a> a few years later. The most recent addition is<a href="https://agrpublicity.com/"> AGR Publicity</a> and <strong>it focuses on connecting aggressive bands with journalists.</strong></p>



<p>MH: If you would like to advise people, starting such a business. What would you recommend to do (or better not do on the other hand)?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ask for help and be surprised</h2>



<p>EW: We ran into a lot of hurdles with each new business iteration. <strong>The biggest advice I can give is, to ask for help.</strong> Lots of people who work in music are eager to lend guidance, ideas, and advice. People who I originally saw as competitors, became friends over the years. <strong>You would be surprised, how many influential people in music will answer e-mails.</strong></p>



<p>MH: Who supported you in your efforts and how is the structure of your team nowadays?</p>



<p>EW: There are so many people, who supported me over the years. I’m extremely grateful for all the help. Some that come to mind would be Elvis Cortez of Smelvis Records. He was one of the first people, to actually answer my questions about record labels. Andrew Andrade of Rise or Die Records got us into Alternative Press really early on. And Nicole Lemberg of Soundcheck411 was the person, who opened the door to this music rabbit hole.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growing connections</h2>



<p>I first hired a lawyer Ben McLane and a graphic artist Mathew Upton to help out. <strong>AGR’s team has grown over the years and is currently 15 people.</strong> Some work on specific projects and others work specific times. It’s great to see the team growing so fast.</p>



<p>MH: Are you satisfied with what you reached so far and where do you see AGR Publicity in 1, 5 and 10 years?</p>



<p>EW: We’ve accomplished a lot of the years, but there’s still a lot of room to grow. Right now, I’m focused on working with as many artists as possible. In the next few years, I would like to get more involved in booking west coast tours. <strong>It’s our goal to become a one-stop-shop in the future, </strong>but right now we’re focused on connecting aggressive bands with journalists.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Let´s dream together</h2>



<p>MH: Of course, it´s allowed to dream. What bands would you like to work with and why?</p>



<p>EW: I would really like to work with <strong>ASSUMING WE SURVIVE</strong>. They were one of the first bands, that we saw grow out of the local scene. It was great to meet them at tiny bars and see them now playing huge festivals. <strong>ANTI FLAG</strong> is also on my bucket list. Lastly, <strong>DRAGGED UNDER</strong> is a great new band. Their first album is great! I think they will get really popular over the next few years.</p>



<p>MH: I bet, you visit quite a lot of concerts – for the business (and maybe also fort he personal interest). What do you prefer? The sweaty club gig, the huge arena or maybe even a large festival? Please explain us why.</p>



<p>EW: <strong>I really like small sold out shows.</strong> There is this tiny venue called <strong>Chain Reaction</strong>, that I used to go to a lot. Having excited fans bumping into me and crowd surfing over my head, just makes the show a lot more fun.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas</h2>



<p>There is <strong>this great festival in Las Vegas</strong>, Nevada called <strong>Punk Rock Bowling</strong>. They have a festival until late at night at a big outdoor venue. Once the main show is over, the whole street is covered in punks and club shows. It’s the best of both worlds and a great weekend.</p>



<p>MH: the final words is always to our interview partners. Here YOU get the chance to tell the people out there something, that you think is important, regarding music in general or whatever. So, here we go…</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="464" height="480" src="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Eric-Walden-Photo.jpg" alt="Eric Walden, founder of AGR Publicity" class="wp-image-89844" srcset="https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Eric-Walden-Photo.jpg 464w, https://metal-heads.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Eric-Walden-Photo-290x300.jpg 290w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 464px) 100vw, 464px" /><figcaption>Eric Walden, founder of AGR Publicity</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A final advice from the founder</h2>



<p>EW: Start! A lot of people have big goals, but do nothing waiting for an opportunity.&nbsp; If you want to write, write for free when you’re not working. If you want to play music, hop on Youtube and try matching some tutorials. Show people, you have experience (even if it’s from volunteering) and you’re more likely to find paid gigs.</p>



<p>MH: Thanx for your time for this interview. I bet, it´s interesting for our readers to get these insights in the business. We have a category called „behind the scenes“, where we will publish this. Have a great year of 2020 and all the best for the coming efforts!<br></p>
