Los Angeles rock band Stitched Up Heart have unleashed their new single “Cannibal,” featuring Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies, out now via Judge & Jury Records. The track is a powerful collaboration between two incredible women in modern heavy music. Alecia 'Mixi' Demner and Heidi Shepherd deliver a fierce vocal performance that celebrates strength, attitude, and the unapologetic presence of women in the rock and metal scene. The single arrives alongside a brand new music video, capturing the electrifying chemistry between Mixi and Heidi as the two powerhouse vocalists.

“‘CANNIBAL’ is a song for the man-eaters; to all of the baddies stealing hearts and eating them for breakfast,” says Mixi.

She continues, “I was at Butcher Babies very first show. Crammed on the stairs at a dive bar on the sunset strip. Heidi hurled this wrecked Barbie into the crowd. Hair hacked off, totally mangled. I caught it. Looking back at that moment it felt like she’d passed me a torch. 'Hey girl, let’s conquer this industry together.' Years later, we’re still at it cheering each other on from the sidelines. Collaborating on this song together is such a fulfilling moment.”

Shepherd adds, "I've been a big fan of Mixi and Stitched Up Heart for nearly 2 decades. We've clawed our way through this industry together, and had each other's back when no one else did. After all of these years, it's so fitting that 'Cannibal' is the song that we finally get to SCREAM together! This song is so fun, and has quickly become one of my favorite collabs that I've been a part of. You can tell by the video that we had an absolute blast making it. I can't wait to see what else SUH has in store of us fans in the future!"

In 2025, the band inked a deal with Judge and Jury Records and their fourth full-length album Medusa will be available on June 12. The band is currently on tour with Sebastian Bach and will be out supporting Infected Rain this summer.

Beyond the stage, Mixi continues to use her platform to advocate for more women in rock and metal while actively volunteering with multiple animal rescue organizations throughout Southern California.

The tour will bring Bach’s unmistakable voice as he delivers the iconic hits from his days in SKID ROW, alongside fan favorites from his expansive solo catalog, including material from his latest album, Child Within the Man, hailed by Metal Hammer as “an unapologetic celebration of what Sebastian Bach does best,” with Associated Press saying “…it shows a fierce performer in prime fighting form…his vocals remain sharp and his songwriting talents as cunning as ever,”  In addition, “(Hold On) To the Dream” track was included in Consequence's 30 Best Metal & Hard Rock Songs of 2024 which described the song as "...a career masterpiece from the former Skid Row singer. Baz hits some of the highest notes of his career on the sweeping ballad, an inspiring anthem about perseverance."

*no STITCHED UP HEART

I YA TOYAH:

Following would be The Dead Rabbitts, featuring frontman vocalist Craig Mabbitt, best known as being the frontman of Escape The Fate! This metalcore project would take a heavier approach than how Escape The Fate would sound slightly, they still have some heavy hitters here and there. But with this project, Craig goes full force with providing a more direct approach with heaviness. Break downs, melodies, screams, it all fits perfectly within the music that is being pushed outward. Best of all, they took their namesake to the stage, having all the members covered in rabbit masks.  It made their performance make Easter come early! Their energy provided was off with some agnst and aggression, having the audience get into their delivery of performance, but keeping the energy in check, making it fun yet fulfilling. 

THE DEAD RABBITTS:
 

After they had wrapped up is Stitched Up Heart was next and I hadn’t seen them since the very first time way back in 2011! So for one, the line up had changed minus the singer of course, and they would go on to release more music, over that span of time. Having hoped to hear their track “Is This the Way You Get To Hell?” was a letdown, but other tracks were played from their later works. They sounded intense yet brutal, which was not a bad thing. They did delivery quite the energetic performance, getting the mosh pit to open up quite a few times during their set. They kept the momentum in full force, making their performance very overflowing, even having the front women playing guitar during some tracks. They are an act that has come a long way, with some change perhaps for the better, except bringing the old music back into the mix, would have sharpened things up a little better.

STITCHED UP HEART:

Ending the evening would be Wednesday 13’s performance, him including an assortment of songs from his number of bands, from the Murderdolls, down to his other project Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, down to Billy Idol’s cover song “White Wedding”. Some of the Murderdoll tracks sung would be “People Hate Me”, “Dead in Hollywood” and “Slit My Wrist”, with some of the other’s being Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13, such as “Love at First Fright”, “Rambo”, “197666” and “I Love to Say Fuck”. His own songs as Wednesday 13 included such as “I Walked with a Zombie”, “Bad Things”, “I Want You Dead”, “In Misery”, and “Look What the Bats Dragged In” among others. All of the songs sung would make the crowd go crazy with cheers, shouts, and a mosh pit occurring as well! The energy flowing off one another, with the fog machines, strobe lights and lighting affects, caused the excitement to never end. Lots there were singing along, with many others jumping up and down, raising their fists, horns, and the middle finger high in the air! It was fun every which way you looked, the energy was flawless and truly never ending.

WEDNESDAY 13:

WEDNESDAY 13 comments:

“We are thrilled to announce our upcoming 2025 tour. After spending the last year and a half celebrating the music of my former band Murderdolls, I’m excited to get back to my solo music. The debut album, 'Transylvania 90210,' was released 20 years ago and the upcoming live set will reflect that album and the earlier WEDNESDAY 13 material. Also you can expect to hear new music from our forthcoming Napalm Records release due in early 2025. We can’t wait to see you all on tour!”

Stitched Up Heart have released a new video of their track titled "Conquer And Divide". Check it HERE.

 Stitched Up Heart have released a new single called "Immortal". Check it HERE.

Stitched Up Heart got their start back in 2010, having interviewed them the following year in 2011, it has been 12 years since we last spoke! Front-women Mixi discusses their past releases and upcoming new release, touring, and more! Check out the video embedded below.

Los Angeles heavy rockers STITCHED UP HEART are charging toward the release of their new album To The Wolves, and amping it up each step of the way. Today, the band has revealed not only the details of their latest opus, due out September 1st via Century Media Records, but a driving new single “Possess Me.” Tinged with progressive elements, intricate and otherworldly electronics, and vocalist Mixi’s signature emotional scream, the track is both energetic and inspiring. Listeners will find themselves belting out each word right along with Mixi.
 
“Possess me is the most intimate song we have written so far,” Mixi shares. “We went back to our roots with familiar elements from our single “Monster” but with a heavier and modern twist.”
 
“Possess Me” is out now with a striking new video. You can stream it HERE.

 Los Angeles hard-rockers STITCHED UP HEART have returned with an unapologetic new single, “To The Wolves.” A harbinger of things to come and one of the band’s heaviest songs to date, the anthemic new track serves as an inspiration to stand up and fight back, as vocalist Mixi Demner reminds you: “You’re f*cking with a wolf!”
 
"Incredibly excited to finally unleash our first single ‘To The Wolves,’” Mixi elaborates. “We didn’t play it safe on this one. We were more ourselves than ever and had a very clear vision of what we wanted to create."
 
Featuring Craig Mabbitt and produced by Kevin Thrasher from ESCAPE THE FATE, the invigorating new track is accompanied by a first-bitten video, which can be viewed HERE. Showing the band, as well as Craig, surrounded by a frozen forest, the biting cold of the scenery furthers the biting message of the track.

Check out the new video single HERE.

With a new label and new music ESCAPE THE FATE has reached the next level.  In announcing their late-summer / early fall headline tour – the OUT OF THE SHADOWS Tour – they reveal the name of their upcoming album.  With OUT OF THE SHADOWS, the band’s first album with BIG NOISE, the label run by longtime collaborator/producer John Feldmann – they come back to the spotlight revitalized and ready to rock.
