Rumbles and Rants is a new feature at TheFUSE — an occasional update on what we’re hearing from the arts & entertainment scene in the Texoma region.
New Realm has a new drummer
Wichita Falls metal/hardcore band New Realm has announced the arrival of their new drummer following the departure of Mark Chew. Their new skinsman is Louis Tucker, and we can look forward to some new shows from New Realm soon.
Blank Labels recently finished up recording at Fort Worth Sound
After some time spent at Fort Worth Sound recently, Blank Labels, featuring Bryson Lawrence, Mike Hardison, Mackey Divine and Angel Perez, are on the road to releasing some new music. Presumably there’s still some mixing and mastering to be done, but we’re eagerly anticipating new original music from the Blank Labels camp.
New music is on the way from The Fleeting Romance
I caught up with The Fleeting Romance drummer Billy Pennington recently and Billy told me new music is on the way from the Wichita Falls metal trio, possibly arriving as soon as a few weeks from now. It’s been awhile since we got a new streaming track from the guys, and the next release is hotly anticipated.
