追加: 2026-05-31

[00:00:08]This week on Apex Rock News, we're not taking our foot off the gas for a single second. We've got new music videos from Edmonton Post grunge crew Grall, New York Rockabilly Wildards The Grease Monkeys, and Southern Hard Rock Heavyweights Blackwood. Plus, fresh streaming drops from Texas Boogie Outfit Mesa and cinematic dark meddlers Hollow Crown.

[00:00:32]And for the first time ever, our roving reporter Paris hits the field with two on location interviews. One with Hollow Crown's Vera Veil about the brooding sunken court and one with the Grease Monkeys previewing their incoming track Chrome Heavy. This is your weekly rock fix. Five artists, two interviews, zero filler. First up, Edmonton's own Grall.

[00:00:56]Their new single, Shooting Star, dropped yesterday, and it is a statement track.

[00:01:02]I'm chasing wishes through the night, reaching for the stars. My heart's on fire.

[00:01:12]I've got the in dancing to the beat that's in my soul.

[00:01:22]I'm breaking free. No one can hold me back. I'm going to shine so bright. I'll light up the sky.

[00:01:33]>> That looked like a wild concert. Chasing stars with a gritty Alberta attitude.

[00:01:39]Heavy as hell. Shooting star by Grall.

[00:01:43]Streaming now everywhere. Video link is right below in the description. Go watch it. Okay. Mesa out of Austin, Texas.

[00:01:51]Rattlesnake Rumble just dropped and it does exactly what the title promises.

[00:01:58]>> Rattlesnake Rumble. Slithering clothes in the heat. Strike when it's hot, darling. Make my poor heart skip a beat.

[00:02:09]Two step together. Feel that venom in your sway.

[00:02:16]Rattlesnake Rumble going to rattle me all night and day.

[00:02:25]>> Rattlesnake Rumble streaming now. Find the link in the description and turn it up loud. Texas Boogie doesn't wait. Now our reporter Paris is on set with Hollow Crowns Vera Veil. This is a first for Apex Rock News. Roll it.

[00:02:41]>> Thanks Elena. I'm here on the set of Hollow Crown's sunken court, and I have to say, they've built an entire sunken medieval throne room, and it feels completely real. Ew, my clothes are getting all wet.

[00:02:56]Vera, the imagery in sunken court is haunting. These flooded lands, this drowned kingdom. What happened here? It was a betrayal that sank everything.

[00:03:07]A man who was once trusted at my court, a sorcerer named Malachar. And when I refused him, he made sure we all drowned in his rage.

[00:03:19]Oh, hey, Declan. Can I Wow. Okay, back to you, Elena.

[00:03:35]>> Wow. So, an evil sorcerer flooded the lands. Cool. Hollow Crown's Sunken Court is out now.

[00:03:43]Hollow Crown also dropped Fire Sky this week. Cinematic dark alternative metal.

[00:03:49]This one is a slow burner in the best way.

[00:03:56]Beneath the stars, the ancient saints, a holy reality.

[00:04:05]Beneath the Lord's peaceful glue, singing softly the age of gold for land of peace we dwell.

[00:04:18]No sorrow is of old tears as well.

[00:04:22]But look at me with my shadow stand whispering soft in the dark.

[00:04:40]Fire Sky by Hollow Crown streaming now.

[00:04:43]Link is in the description. Don't sleep on this one. Next, The Grease Monkeys.

[00:04:49]New York Rockabilly meets postpunk garage energy and their new video Twisted just landed.

[00:04:57]>> Dark road ahead.

[00:05:00]There ain't no turning back.

[00:05:03]I'm burning rubber down this road heading towards the fire.

[00:05:09]on this old a twisted highway.

[00:05:28]If the Strokes had a love child with Eddie Cochran, it'd sound exactly like this. That chorus is going to stick with you all week. Now, Blackwood, shot down in flames. Southern hard rock with blues in its blood. This one's been on repeat all week.

[00:05:56]I'm feeling love's a game. I'm walking that line.

[00:06:01]Every woman I meet, I got a different line. But they shoot me down every time.

[00:06:09]Why won't the ladies take a chance on me? I'm trying, but the truth be told.

[00:06:15]Getting shot down in flames and it's getting old. Well, there's plenty of fish in the sea.

[00:06:23]Crash and burn.

[00:06:27]Never ever going to learn. Shot down in flames.

[00:06:33]I'll never understand these days.

[00:06:47]Crash and burn. Never ever going to learn. Pure gold. Reminds me of early Leonard Skinnard mixed with classic AC/DC swagger. Radio ready.

[00:07:07]Next week, Paris will be coming in with an exclusive interview with those crazy rockabilly rockers, the grease monkeys.

[00:07:14]You want to miss that. Bye for now.
