Table Scraps have just unleashed their hilarious video for the brilliant new single "I'm A Failure" from their album "Autonomy" out now on Zen Ten.

 On the inspiration for the tongue-in-cheek video, TJ of Table Scraps has said: "Making videos without any budget is more fun. We took some cheap wood and socks and made this Beavis and Butt-Head inspired love letter to the golden era of MTV - excess, big budgets, channel hopping and boredom. Sock puppets and explosions were always meant to be together!"

KROQ-FM Los Angeles DJ Nicole Alvarez announced on air that “this band has more buzz than a city of bees” and the David vs. Goliath story of unsigned band Death Valley Dreams is resonating with radio stations and fans across the nation.

The single “Words like Fire” has already been heard in large radio markets nationwide, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Portland, Kansas City, Miami, and more before the official release of the single to radio. The familiar but fresh 80’s sound of Death Valley Dreams has been described as “David Bowie meets The Cars meets the Killers”. They are also currently featured as a New Artist on the front page of iTunes, added to Apple Music's A-List Rock & A-List New Artist playlists, as well as being featured on Spotify's "New Noise" playlist.

Band manager, Jeff Hanson, who has engineered the success of Paramore, Creed & Mute Math, stated “Anyone with knowledge of the music industry understands that getting national airplay and being featured on the front page of iTunes is unheard of for an unsigned artist. Unsigned artists simply do not attract this type of attention or support...ever. Clearly, “Words like Fire” is a special song and Death Valley Dreams has struck a chord with industry tastemakers and music fans.”

The band just released an impressive lyric video on April 26 with an introduction from original MTV VJ Mark Goodman. Goodman, who received the track from a friend, stated “I often receive new music and will listen once...but I have listened to “Words like Fire” 25 times and it gets better every time.” The video is available for viewing on the band’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

HEADBANGERS BALL - The original will have a loud and live comeback! Headbangers Ball - a name that bears pure heavy metal nostalgia - will come to life again! By the end of this year, MTV's classic 80's show shall return as a series of events. MTV Headbangers Ball, hosted by Continental Concerts in cooperation with MTV, is going to tour Europe. Just like the classic TV show presented by Vanessa Warwick, the festival tour is going to embody the cutting edge and timeless essence of pure f**king metal!

Headliner of this festival tour will be U.S. metal gods ICED EARTH! Formed in Florida in the mid-80s, the band celebrated its international breakthrough with the album "Burnt Offerings", which defined the band's trademark style between power and thrash metal. Their last album "Plagues Of Babylon" came out in 2014 and charted on #5 in Germany. To this day, the band is recognised as one of the most successful traditional metal acts.

Finish headbangers ENSIFERUM are considered one of the most successful musical exports from Northern Europe. Integrating traditional instruments such as the Finnish kantele into their rousing, aggressive metal sound, they can rely on a rabid fan-base and recently scored #1 in the Finnish charts as well as #15 in Germany for the latest album "One Man Army".

Comments ENSIFERUM's Sami Hinkka: "We are really proud to be on the MTV's Headbangers Ball -tour. Hell, we were one of those kids who stayed up on Sunday nights to check out the show and all awesome heavy metal videos and interviews of our idols! And now we are part of this legendary tour and a start of a new era, it just feels like a dream come true. So brace yourselves for the ultimate metal experience of a lifetime! See you in front row!"

Earlier in this year Canadian / American Death Metal Act KATAKLYSM completed an incredibly successful tour throughout Europe covering forty four cities in support of their new album "Of Ghosts And Gods". The band is considered as one of the biggest and well-established acts in Death Metal for many years now and stands out through their characteristically musical interplay between aggressive drum sounds and melodic guitar tracks and crushing grooves , the band recently won the Juno award in Canada (Equivalent to a grammy) for best "heavy metal album of the year" for their latest album "Of Ghosts and Gods".

Modern metal outfit UNEARTH from Massachusetts/USA completes this diverse and absolutely crushing billing. The band's most recent studio album "Watchers Of Rule" was released in 2014 and this furious live act will perfectly open up the MTV Headbangers Ball tour.

Bring on the old school! Beavis & Butthead have returned to the home they once called home MTV. Creator Mike Judge is quite thrilled about the rebirth of the series and the trailer can't agree more. Beavis & Butthead just like all the other television series these days has been bitten by the Vampire and Werewolf bug and rags on shall I say more?
