We Are The Ocean Maybe Today, Maybe Tomorrow Hassle Records 17 September 2012 by David Keevill We Are The Ocean aren’t strangers to change. 2011’s Go Now and Live saw the band playing with a sound that accentuated the band’s harsh but melodic core, most notably in reducing then-vocalist Dan Brown’s [...]

erik hassle feat. ellie goulding - be mine with lyrics a real good song !!! I love ellie !!! she's perfect !!! music is not mine !!! Be Mine Lyrics (Robyn Cover with Erik Hassle) It's a good thing tears never show in the pouring rain As if a good thing ever could make up for all the pain There'll be no last chance to promise to never mess it up again Just a sweet pain of watching your back as you walk As I'm watching you walk away And now you're gone it's like [...]

Cancer Bats Dead Set On Living Hassle Records 16 April 2012 by Tom Dare We quite like Cancer Bats ( had you noticed ?). In fact there aren’t many bands that quite so many of us agree are fucking brilliant. At their best ( Hail Destroyer ), they are in that “so exciting you’re in real danger of injuring yourself” bracket that precious few bands in any era have managed. So if Dead Set [...]

And that's no idle boast. Go check out Cancer Bats ' new video for their track 'Road Sick' (taken from their superb forthcoming album, Dead Set On Living ) after the jump if you don't believe us. Fittingly, the 1994 video that we're referring to is - of course - 'Sabotage'  by the Beasties Boys , which the boys in Bats famously covered as a single/bonus track from their last album. Now all we need is for the Beastie Boys to cover [...]

Mixed bag of news for Windings fans fans this morning. First, a new song accompanied by a video. There are at least 10 different ways to watch the stars in squares type video for 'The Hassle'. I can't take my eyes off the cowbell square. Yes, that's right, there is [Read more]

The James Cleaver Quintet That Was Then, This Is Now Hassle Records 31 October 2011 by Hugh Platt I've been struggling to come up with a snappy turn of phrase to encapsulate this debut full-length from The James Cleaver Quintet. The thing is....I know what that turn of phrase is. I've just been avoiding it. [...]

Killer show tonight! We got into the details of the T.T. The Bear's Place renovations, played the entire Creaturos demo -- all 13 minutes, son -- and announced our ROOM PARTY next Sunday at the... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .

Turbowolf Turbowolf Hassle Records 11 November 2011 by Hugh Platt This album has been a long, long, long time coming. Having been evangelising Turbowolf since before Thrash Hits even existed, and it's only now, nearly four years down the line, that a full-length has emerged from the Bristol-based band. In that time, the 'wolf have [...]

Erik Hassle is still working on his Mariefred Sessions promo. This is the second single from that EP and it is in the same demeanor as his other songs, but not as good, we are afraid. Still, he's not bad at all. Filed under: Beats , Scandi Tagged: album , erik , hassle , new , single , stay away

John Dahlback uses his progressive mastery with Erik Hassle's vocals to create "One Last Ride". The original mix is emotional yet uplifting at the same time, it has a similar tempo to his remix of Skylar Grey's "Invisible" . All of us here at Dancing Astronaut are huge fans of John due to the variety of styles he is capable of putting out. Be sure to check out his free giveaway remix of Sneaky Sound System's "Big" and his collaboration with Henrik B - "Senses" . John Dahlback ft. Erik Hassle - One [...]

I usually wouldn't repost anything without asking permission, or at least acknowledging that I was doing so. But once in a while something happens thats tragic and much bigger than this website that needs to be said... and who better to say it than the Association of Independent Music(AIM)? From musicindie.com: The London riots have caused the destruction of a warehouse in North London housing many of the UK's independent labels and artists.  All the stock has been destroyed in the fire.  This will lead to much hardship for the [...]

  KMD – Humrush Yo so this week I'm going with one of my all time favorites, my last few posts have kind of tenuously linked to KMD which has put them at the forefront of my mind for an article for a little while now. I first found out about KMD long time ago after I had first started to listen to MF DOOM. So naturally as my obsession grew I then found the goodness that was the group. My tastes in hip hop generally run with a more old school 80's and 90's [...]

We've very pleased that we can finally announce that our good friends Turbowolf have signed to Hassle Records, the UK home of such bands as Cancer Bats, Alkaline Trio, and Trash Talk. They've also settled upon the wondrously-apocalyptic d ate of 11/11/11 as a provisional release date of their long, long, long awaited debut album. But wait, there's more! [...]

I really don't care if these are old, I just discovered them and it would be a crime to not share these with the world (if y'all haven't heard them yet). Seriously this woman has the voice of an angel. One of the keys to my soft side is a woman that can sing (ahem...cough cough) and Miss Goulding's style hits me just right.

Erik Hassle is no stranger to sexy tracks. If this buzz single is a snippet of what we are getting for his second album, then it's going to be a great year! Here, Erik Hassle does what he does best, merging school-house rock with lyrics of longing. Much like our favorite "Wanna Be Loved," Hassle manages to emulate true emotions of love and attachment whilst being a rock star. This song has the power to get you up out of your seat to play air guitar and it has the power to make you cry. It's a lovely confection. [...]

It seems as if EPs have enjoyed a sort of resurgence in the last few years. Many up-and-coming artists are opting to release a string of them rather than a full album. It allows for more music more often and caters to today's ADD culture. Luckily for Erik Hassle, whatever he releases is going to be worth hearing.. EP or album. And this is a particularly interesting release because it's a collaboration between Hassle and two members of HUGE Swedish rock band Kent. 1. Are You [...]

Erik Hassle - Are you leaving [stream] Apparently Swedish up and coming star Erik Hassle listened to and was inspired by the Swedish Boot Mafia remixes and decided to take the electro path on his new EP - on which he collaborates with Swedish mega-popular band Kent , btw. This is HOT, kitties. Scout's honour!

"We know we ain't never gonna happen" This is Erik Hassle's next single. Is it just me, or does this sound like something that could hit really big in the UK indie circle? Not so sure about America (it doesn't have a guest rapper, after all), but this sounds kind of similar to Noah & The Whale's new album, which seems to be doing quite well in the UK. Stay Away is far less electronic than Are You Leaving , but just as dark and propulsive. That chorus (and the haunting background vocals) [...]
