Hi everyone! First off, we’d like to say Happy New Year! Here’s to another successful year! We’re so excited to see what 2017 brings us. This month marks two years since we launched White Noise Zine, and we honestly can’t wrap our heads around how much we’ve grown since then. For our first issue of the year, we had the chance to chat with the guys of Alesana about their ten year anniversary tour for their debut LP, On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax. We also got to chat with VISTA again, and caught up with them since the last time we spoke with them, as well as Radkey, Late Night Fights and Inner Temple. 2017 is going to be a big year for us, I can feel it in my bones! See you all for the next issue!

INNER TEMPLE
Interview by Danielle Gittleman // Photo Courtesy of Inner Temple
WNZ: IT’S BEEN A FEW MONTHS SINCE YOU’VE RELEASED YOUR NEWEST EP, CAPTIVITY. HOW HAS THE FAN RECEPTION BEEN SO FAR? The reception has been great. Our fans really enjoy it, and people who are just hearing about us really enjoy it. Some of the blogs that did write-ups on the EP have called it one of their favorite albums of 2016. It means a lot to be put into a category like that. WNZ: HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THIS EP COMPARES TO YOUR PREVIOUS SONG RELEASES? I wasn’t really happy with how the first EP (self-titled) came out, so this was a huge step forward. Everyone that was a part of ‘Captivity’ worked day and night because we knew what we wanted to deliver. I love how ‘Captivity’ turned out...Especially for how limited our recording equipment was. We recorded it in the previous drummer’s (Keeyan Zimmerman) small home studio. You can tell that we all really cared about the record a lot and we were all on the same page with it. My best friend, Chris Castillo did production on the EP, and he helped to bring out the best in the band. Mat Kerekes of Citizen did a great job with mastering on the EP as well. He messaged me after he had heard the EP and said “This rocks.” That’s really when we all breathed a sigh of relief.
WNZ: YOU GUYS RECENTLY PLAYED SOME SHOWS IN YOUR HOME STATE, PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW JERSEY. HOW DID THAT GO FOR YOU GUYS? Pennsylvania has a really great Alternative scene going on right now, and we’re glad to be included in it. We’ve been playing Philly pretty often, and the reception to our music in and around Philly is always great. Outside of PA, New Jersey has become one of our favorite places to play recently. The New Jersey crowds really like to pack venues and move around a lot. That helps us to get into our set even more. Crowds help bands to put on a great show. WNZ: DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY PLANS TO PLAY MORE SHOWS OR TOUR IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS? WHERE CAN FANS EXPECT YOU? We’re everywhere. We’re constantly playing somewhere. Dates are always being added to our tour, so be sure to follow us on our social media for all of the updates. We’re currently half-way through our Winter tour schedule. January 28th is our next show, and that’s at Connie’s Ric Rac in Philadelphia. After that, we have the first week of February off, then we will be in Connecticut on February 10th at 33 Golden Street at 10pm. After that, we are in Harrisburg, PA at The Blue Moose at 10pm on February 17th, then we are in Pottsville, PA at 8pm at Trippin’ Billie’ the day after on February 18th, and then we end our Winter Tour at The Fire in Philadelphia, PA on February 25th at 8pm. Our March and April dates are being booked now.
WNZ: WHAT IS YOUR WRITING AND RECORDING PROCESS LIKE? CAN YOU WALK US THROUGH IT? My only rule is to not write what you don’t feel. I’m a really stressed out and depressed person...I’ve been that way for as long as I WNZ: WHAT’S NEXT FOR YOU GUYS IN THE can remember. I write about what goes wrong UPCOMING MONTHS?

RADKEY Band of Brothers
Words by Emily Klingman // Photo Courtesy of RADKEY
There
are endless amounts of shenanigans for three brothers with nothing to do in their small hometown to get into. For Dee, Isaiah and Solomon Radke, starting their band, Radkey, was the most natural choice. “[It came from] being bored and home schooled in St. Joseph, Missouri,” said bassist and vocalist Isaiah Radke. “Spending years listening to our dad’s music collection as opposed to everything that was kind of around at the time.” Radke described the experience of starting their family band as “pretty much the easiest thing ever.” “We all get along really well since we were home schooled, so everything really works out,” he said. “Traveling is super easy too, as well as a songwriting.” Since playing their first show in 2011, the band has recently wrapped one of their favorite and most challenging tours, according to Radke. “[It was] one of the best we’ve ever done,” he said. “It was actually one of the hardest we’ve ever done as well. It was also the first time we’d ever toured the US with an opener, this band called The Fame Riot, and they ruled.” Radkey also recently released their new album Delicious Rock Noise. They recorded the album fresh off a tour with Ross Orton, a producer and mixer for Arctic Monkeys, in Sheffield, England. “[It was] Such an amazing experience,” he said. “We learned so much working with Ross. He really helped us discover what our songs were really capable of, so we could become the band we’ve always wanted to be.” Their plans for the future already include their next record, which they are currently working on. Radke said the brothers are “really stoked to get back in the studio for some new stuff” in addition to their goals of doing “tons of touring too.” While they are eager to get back to performing for fans, Radke admitted that one of the more challenging aspects of being a musician is “just the toughness of being on the road.” However, “everything else has been really sweet.” For their follow-up album, the band is looking to make it better and louder. “We want to make an even harder rocking album this time around,” Radke said. “We’re really excited with the stuff we’ve been coming up with so far.” As for future collaborators, Radke said the band would be “super into working with Bill Stevenson and Jason Livermore again.” “Recording ‘Marvel’ was such a blast,” he said. And so much went into that one song.” Reflecting back on the band’s success at such a young age and their opportunities to travel the U.S., Radke said it’s “the best feeling ever.” “It’s everything we’ve ever wanted,” he said. “Rocking together for years. The dream.” Fans should know that the band is working on a new album and they’re very eager to get it out for the world to hear. “We’ve been live testing the stuff and it’s been super fun,” said Radke “Keep your ears open for the next thing from Radkey.”

LATE NIGHT FIGHTS
Interview by Emily Klingman Photo By BLUEG PRODUCTIONS
WNZ: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND AND THE KIND OF MUSIC YOU PLAY AS LATE NIGHT FIGHTS? Aggressive, melodic, emotional, dynamic. Grungy, edgy, nostalgic yet modern WNZ: WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND NOTHING TO LOSE? WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TURN IT INTO A SONG? It’s about being surprised by discovering a dark secret about someone you are dating. I was dating a girl for a few years then when I got off the road for a bit found out she had been hiding a dudefest for quite some time. WNZ: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO FILM THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE SONG? DID YOU HAVE A FAVORITE PART OF FILMING IT? It was a blast! Wheeler, who directed it, and I had been talking about making a video like that for awhile and everything just came together. We had a lot of talent involved, like Colton Otte on the camera, Matt Muegge on lighting, not to mention the actors that all just made it come to life. Every scene has a comedic element and the whole thing was hilarious to shoot. WNZ: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE A DEBUT ALBUM OUT IN THE WORLD? HAS IT CHANGED YOUR WORK ETHIC MINDSET A BIT? I’ve released dozens of albums with other groups, but this one feels the most personal. It exposes a lot about a vulnerable period in my life. The best feeling and the reason I play music is when listeners tell me it is helping them through similar battles that I’ve gone through. It really excites me that people are digging it and we are stoked to release our next EP shortly! WNZ: WHAT WAS IT LIKE TO HAVE AREJAY HALE PLAY DRUMS FOR YOU? Arejay is one of the coolest and funniest people I’ve gotten to tour with, not to mention a musical child of John Bonham and Animal. We did dueling drums on stage for a couple tours when my old band New Medicine and Halestorm played together and we really hit it off. It was pure luck that they happened to be playing in Minneapolis while we were in the studio recording
Jousthouse. He stopped in and crushed three songs and they turned out awesome. WNZ: HOW HAS HE INFLUENCED YOU ALL AS MUSICIANS? I’m privileged to have been able to tour with Halestorm on their very first headlining tour and see that band grow to become one of the biggest rock bands on the planet now. They are all so humble and grateful for their fans and to be able to do what they love for a living. I learned an extreme amount from Lzzy by just watching her destroy the mic and listening to the way she interacts with the crowd. They are easily the most loving and sincere band I’ve ever toured with, and a role model to stay true to your fans. WNZ: DO YOU HAVE ANY GOALS AS A BAND FOR THE NEXT YEAR? WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST ONES? We just got back from New York recording a new EP and we are extremely stoked to release that in the next month or so, as well as hit the road and hopefully hop on some festivals. We’d actually like to record another full length next fall as well. WNZ: DO YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL GOALS AS A MUSICIAN AND PERFORMER? We’re always trying to become tighter and put on a great show. One of the best sources of inspiration is killing a show and being greeted by a bunch of new fans and being able to hear about what keeps them going day after day. Becoming a channel of collective experience through music, always listening, always growing. WNZ: WILL LATE NIGHT FIGHTS BE GOING ON TOUR IN 2017? WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO? Since we’re still a new band we want to circle the US and Canada quite a bit. Of course if an overseas opportunity arises there’s no way we would turn it down! WNZ: IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO TELL READERS? If you haven’t checked out Jousthouse and the new video, give it a chance! If you’re digging it, hit us up and we’ll set up a show in your hood!

ALESANA Celebrating io years of success Words by Danielle Gittleman // Photo Courtesy of The Catalyst Publicity Group

Last
year (2016) was an amazing year for celebrating ten year anniversaries for some of our favorite albums, and 2017 is no different. Alesana will be kicking off the west coast portion of their ten year anniversary tour for On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax. The band toured the east coast during the end of 2016, and they’re excited to get back on the road. “I’m looking most forward to playing cities that we haven’t played since the Confessions tour in early 2015,” said vocalist and guitarist Shawn Milke. “We have a lot of good friends and amazing fans on the west coast. The east coast leg was incredible so the west coast definitely has their work cut out for them.” Ten years since the release of a debut album definitely calls for a celebration of how far the band has come over the years. “It’s absolutely crazy. Time has a funny way of moving too fast. If you had told me back when I was in the recording studio making Frail Wings that all these years later that we would be celebrating the ten year anniversary of the album after having written five full lengths and two EPs, I would have thought you were insane,” said Milke. The band has been playing the debut from start to finish each night of the tour and for Milke, it’s a bit of a walk down memory lane. “It really does take you back into the moment. It is such a blast celebrating the record and getting to joke about it on stage and just relive the magic,” explained Milke. “The craziest part for me is that we have people of all ages in the crowd, folks who have been around since the beginning and folks just discovering our music. It is very humbling.” Fans have been so excited to hear some of their old favorites again — it takes them back to when they first fell in love with the music. “I think it is like any memory, really. It is fun to watch old home movies, or look through photo albums. Putting on an old record immediately transports you back to a time and place, some bad, some good, some amazing,” said Milke. “I think realizing that artists get the same thrill out of the memory as you do makes the experience all the more nostalgic.” Unfortunately for international fans, Milke
doesn’t believe that the band will be taking the anniversary tour outside of the US. “We were able to play main stage at Knotfest in Mexico City immediately following the east coast leg which was unbelievable,” said Milke. “I don’t know that we would do Frail Wings exclusively when we travel internationally because we don’t get to play those markets as often, and it would be a shame not to touch on our whole catalog.” Besides celebrating ten years of On Frail Wings Of Vanity And Wax, the guys of Alesana have been hard at work making music and even writing a novel. They released their first novel, Annabel back in August, which is based off of their music. “The novel is based off of our trilogy of albums that we refer to as the Annabel trilogy. Those records came with excerpts of a much larger story and as it developed it became a goal of mine to see it through into a full novel. Annabel is an abstract exploration of the human mind and it’s ability to reach the most extreme limits of every emotion we experience. On the surface it is about time travel and murder but at it’s core I find it to be a passionate love story about two people who cannot exist without one another,” explained Milke. Fans are loving the concept of the novel and have shown nothing but excitement and support of the band’s other endeavors. As if writing a book wasn’t enough, the guys are still working on music on their own and as a band. “I am currently recording a reunion record with my old pop-punk band The Legitimate Excuse which is very exciting. We haven’t made a record in 15 years,” said Milke. “However, new Alesana material is on the very near horizon.” The band isn’t just stopping there. 2017 should be a big year for the guys of Alesana, and fans can get excited for even more things this year. “We have some very cool, unique things planned,” said Milke. “Part of the fun of having been a band for so long, as well as having such a passionate fan base, is that it allows us to create some really special things to give back to them.” Ten years is a lot to celebrate, and it would be nothing without the fans.“Thank you for over a decade of undying support. I am able to live my dreams and help others to do the same because of your kindness and devotion. You are the best.”

PALISADES

Palisades
U Words by Rebecca Panico
M R
Palisades newest self-titled LP is softer than previous releases, serving up more electronic beats and catchy choruses. Fans shouldn’t be worried though: Palisades doesn’t sound like Metro Station just yet. The band, hailing from Iselin, N.J., should be applauded for creating hardcore music that’s actually listenable. But by creating songs that are easier on the ears, Palisades may have alienated its hardcore fans. Songs like “Let Down,” and “Fall” sound more like atmospheric, alternative rock. The quieter and catchy singing on this album really mark this as a less-than hardcore project. “Mind Games,” the band’s previous LP from 2015, showed that the band was heading in a more electronic direction, but it still had blood curdling vocal breakdowns which are characteristically metal/hardcore. That’s something which is missing from this newest album. Fast runs and piercing vocals still exist on this self-titled album, especially on “Through Hell,” which was launched as a single ahead of the album’s Jan. 20l release date. Just about every track combines programmed beats with real drumming, which is interesting and a highlight of the band. This tactic makes each track sound alike though, making it difficult to find something unique from song to song. Bands are allowed to do something different. When Palisades experiments with various genres, they’re still able to offer up a well-produced LP. In the end, this is a very clean, polishedsounding album. It still remains to be seen if catchy vocals and electronic beats should be mixed with hardcore music in the first place though. Dedicated fans may find it refreshing, but others may be put off by it.

LESLEY BARTH Green Hearts
B U
Words by Gianluca D’Elia
M R
A fresh face in pop music, New York City-based singer-songwriter Lesley Barth has just released her debut album Green Hearts. The album starts out with a minute-long a cappella introduction, “When You Are Lonely,” which gets us nicely acquainted with Barth’s breezy, folk-pop sound, rich harmonies and soulful, romantic lyrics. With an album full of light and energetic piano-driven tunes, Barth often channels a unique sound that comes off as refreshing and much-needed. Her voice sounds both innocent and nurturing, and at the same time, Barth can deliver an impactful lyric that makes you do a double take, given the soft, sweet nature of her voice and style. Initially, when I first listened to “Song Without a Name” and heard the pulsing piano chords and short interludes throughout the song, Barth’s sound reminded me a little bit of Regina Spektor — but as the songs continued, I realized they had more of a laid-back feeling. On other tracks like “A Thousand Things,” Barth shows off her talent for mixing heartfelt, thoughtprovoking lyrics with a light, smooth jazzy sound. It sounds happy, and I sat singing along to it, but at the same time, it also made me think about myself. “Though I’ve recognized myself in other men I’ve met before, it was only in their faults, and even then I wasn’t sure.” I’m with you, Lesley. And I’m rooting for you. One track that stands out the most on Green Hearts is “Just Like Summer,” a groovy track about summer love. Then on “Bad With You,” Barth shows us more of a slow, soul-inspired side, as she slowly sings “Why don’t you let me be bad with you, baby?” And on Soul, we get to here more of a western vibe. Each track on this album has its own unique character, but every song ties in with Barth’s unique, folk sound. As I finished fully listening to Green Hearts on a gray, rainy day, I felt moved by nearly every aspect of it — the endearing lyrics, the soft drum beats, the laid-back vibe that Barth creates — everything comes together excellently and makes Green Hearts a lovely listening experience.

THE UNLIKELY CANDIDATES Bed of Liars
U Words by Emily Klingman
M R
Alt-rockers The Unlikely Candidates’ debut EP is full to the brim of cool vibes and indie beats. The band gives listeners something both to dance to and something to rock to in Bed of Liars, with each track. Their sound is the best of Indie and alternative rock to create catchy hits and easy-listening music. In the first track off the EP, “The Best things in Life Aren’t Free,” the band showcases their cool, easy-going alt-rock sound. Plus, the vocals add a bit of an edge to the otherwise laid-back and polished mood. The track “Ringer” is definitely more of a pop-influenced tune than the first, even some of the other tracks. While some of the other songs have a smooth alternative take on the classic rock-n-roll sound, this throws an extremely catchy hook in to make it a pop song. Although it’s fun to listen to and has an impossible to forget hook, there’s not much else to the song. “Your Love Could Start a War” almost combines easygoing vibes, edgier vocals and an anthemic hook. Overall, while I did enjoy Bed of Liars, I wasn’t overly impressed. It did have a lot of fun tracks to listen to, but nothing I was completely blown away by. “Ringer” was the only track I can honestly say was stuck in my head for a couple days and I would dance to at a party. Aside from that track, “Your Love Could Start a War” was probably the only other song I really enjoyed enough to go back to. As good as I thought the songs were, they just weren’t for me.

SUMMER WARS / HIGH WIRE SPLIT
U M
Words by Danielle Gittleman
R
Pop-rockers Summer Wars have joined forces with Chicago rockers High Wire to release a split EP. The EP features four songs, two from each band. Although this EP is small, it sure packs quite the punch. The EP kicks off with the two tracks from Summer Wars, “Something To Call My Own” and “Tear Me Down.” I really dug these two tracks compared to the other two. “Something To Call My Own” sounded like a classic pop-punk song that gave me some sort of nostalgia from 2007/2008 pop-punk. I absolutely loved the vocals and the focus on the guitar toward the end of the song. “Tear Me Down” felt like it had a little more energy to it. I could honestly picture this song being played to a crowd at Warped Tour, and they’re so hyped to hear it. This song had to be my favorite out of the two. Following up Summer Wars are the two tracks from High Wire, “Back Bone” and “Nothing Left To Lose.” I really enjoyed both of these tracks as well, and between the two, “Nothing Left To Lose” was my favorite. Much like Summer Wars, “Back Bone” gave me that nostalgic pop-punk feel that I love so much. I loved the vocals and the call outs. It gave me such an energetic feel that I wanted to jump around and dance while listening to it. “Nothing Left To Lose” starts off slow, and then immediately hits you with a punch of music. I feel like this would be the song that fans are excited to hear live. I feel like I can’t explain just how much I loved this song, it really just stuck to me. Overall, I loved this EP. There was not one song that I didn’t enjoy. I thought all of the songs really showcased what each band is capable of. I loved the fact that the entire EP was full of energy from start to finish, I can definitely see myself blasting this in the car while driving with the windows down. If you haven’t heard of Summer Wars or High Wire, I’d definitely give this EP a listen to get a feel for both bands. I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
