California hard rock kings THE SHRINE will release their new LP Bless Off on March 11 via Tee Pee Records.  Recorded at Eliminator Studios in Venice Beach, CA, Bless Off is the follow-up to the power trio's debut album Primitive Blast which was hailed as one of the "Top Los Angeles Metal Albums of 2012" by LA Weekly and one of Decibel magazine's 2012 "Albums of the Year".  

     Recorded on reel-to-reel tape using vintage gear and colossal Marshall stacks, Bless Off is a record that attacks with buzzing riffs, blazing hooks and a bruising, mega-amplified punch.  The album features 11 tracks of quintessential riff rock channeling hazy hesher glories including a song ("The Duke") with lyrics penned by Chuck Dukowski in 1983 originally intended for an unreleased Black Flag song.  The cover art to Bless Off features THE SHRINE's ever-present wolf mascot and is an homage to legendary skate punk and gig flyer artist Ric Clayton (Suicidal Tendencies) and Dogtown Skateboards.

     Undoubtedly one of America's hottest underground bands, THE SHRINE plays loud, heavy rock 'n' roll fueled by cheap beer and bad acid that combines the hook-laden appeal of '70's garage rock and gritty '80's hardcore with a skate punk energy and attitude resulting in a sound the trio describes as "psychedelic violence". 

 Track listing:

     1.) Destroyers
     2.) Worship
     3.) Tripping Corpse
     4.) The Duke
     5.) Nothing Forever
     6.) Bless Off
     7.) On the Grind
     8.) No Penalty
     9.) Spit In My Life
   10.) Napalm
   11.) Hellride

     THE SHRINE formed at a house party in Venice Beach, CA in 2008. In 2010, Chuck Dukowski, also a Venice local, discovered the band and produced their earliest recordings. By 2011, THE SHRINE was touring America supporting Fu Manchu and Dukowski on separate tours. Primitive Blast, the band's first official album, dropped in the summer of 2012 via Tee Pee Records and the band followed its release by touring across Europe supporting Fu Manchu once again. The first half of 2013 saw THE SHRINE support two-time Swedish Grammy winners Graveyard on a 30 day US tour followed by an appearance at SXSW as guests of Converse and Thrasher magazine, followed by a West Coast tour supporting Dinosaur Jr.  In the spring of 2013, THE SHRINE headlined Europe for the first time -- traveling as far as Russia and Greece -- and played sold out shows in Berlin and London. In the winter of 2013, THE SHRINE supported Red Fang across the USA and then immediately went "down under" to Australia for the first time, supporting label mates Earthless on eight huge shows.  

     THE SHRINE
and Red Fang will launch a massive European tour on January 17 that is slated to run all the way through to early April.  For tour dates, please visit THIS location.

     THE SHRINE is: Josh Landau (guitar / vocals), Courtland Murphy (bass) and Jeff Murray (drums).

     "blown-out rock...their radical forward momentum's accompanied by the paranoid, outcast energy that results from constantly looking out for jerk cops, big rocks and swerving cars." - PHILADELPHIA CITY PAPER

     "Shit-kicking SoCal pool-skaters bridge Black Flag and Sabbath via Cro-Mag hooks and high energy sludge." - SPIN

     "While we cede that this release may lean more towards punk, the amount of grime and attitude present feels pretty metal to us. The Shrine blasts out a chaotic cacophony of noise that would have been at home alongside '80s crossover thrash bands like D.R.I. and Corrosion of Conformity. The pools these guys are skating in are really dirty." - LA WEEKLY 

     "The Shrine showcases their ability to head bang, wail on air guitar and hit a a bong with a raw thrash attitude" - INVISIBLE ORANGES

     "Primitive Blast finds the Shrine ripping through blues-indebted hard rock/hardcore with great success...this kind of music is too primal to deny." - PUNK NEWS

     "The Shrine are California through and through, embodying both the stoner grooves and the thrashy skate punk of the area in the 80s and 90s." - BROOKLYN VEGAN

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat
