New single It's No Fun.
Official Release Friday August 14th.
Montreal-based "Doom Blues" band Pink Cocoon, masterminded by multi-instrumentalist Marc Zolla, plays electrically-charged heavy music rife with savage guitar jabs, basement blues and shit-hot solos. Pink Cocoon is live and loud, but soft when needed. It’s doom, it’s blues, it’s pop, it’s rock 'n' roll. With a wide range of influences, the unit is equal parts penetrating pomp and strident stomp.
On August 14, Pink Cocoon will release its new single, "It's No Fun", mastered for maximum volume by Harry Hess (Danko Jones, Roky Erickson). ‘It’s No Fun’ is the first in a series of special singles that will coalesce to form the new EP, tentatively set for release this fall. Along the new song's release, Pink Cocoon drops a music video for "It's No Fun", shot in NYC and directed by Christian Lawrence. The clip premiered via MXDWN.
Following the release of Pink Cocoon's debut EP, 'Alienation', in 2017, Zolla – a dedicated student of guitar originators such as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan – wasted no time in taking his music to the stage, as Pink Cocoon would open countless shows for the likes of Witch Mountain, The Well, Telekinetic Yeti and the Type O Negative-driven A Pale Horse Named Death, as well as well as finding time to tour as session bassist with fellow countrymen, The Hazytones.
Producing a brand of overdriven sounds for the soul steeped in singed psychedelic riffs; leaden hard rock and percolating pop melodies, listening to Pink Cocoon is like observing an electric sermon in the hallowed hall of volume worship. Pre-order Pink Cocoon's "It's No Fun" at this location.
"psychedelic, old-school, heavy, bluesy riffs with a touch of catchy melodies and doom...Pink Cocoon’s sound is a sweet mix of acts like Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, and Alice in Chains." - New Noise
lyrics
It's No fun, it's No fun, It's No fun...
And I see you coming around
Cemetery graves are found
And I see you coming around
Ain't it quiet ain't a sound
Stay right there, show me your desire
chill around, I sense your fire
you don't like it, why is that so?
Use your power, take it, I go
And I see you coming around
Cemeraty graves are found
And I see you coming around
Ain't it quiet ain't a sound
Light it up now, oh, the lungs that need
your pain, ain't got no gain, I'm feeling so
All alone, acting like you care
Acting like you wear, the truth on you
And I see you coming around
Cemetery graves are found
And I see you coming 'round
Ain't it quiet ain't a sound
Voices talking to me in my head
looking into the mirror, they're not real
But I know it's something that I feel
Spirit rise, oh divide and they said
The flowers of your past are sewn in your head
The memories are all dead and I know
The future of your life has taken control
and it sent you from home and I know
It's No fun, it's No fun, It's No fun...

To me this is like 70ies Heavy Metal in nearly all aspects. I can understand the comparisons to Motörhead but to me they don’t really sound like them, except maybe for the Heavy Blue style lead breaks. What they do have is the drive, gravelly vocals and swagger of Motörhead. This they have that in buckets. Super fun Heavy Metal/Hard Rock that just doesn’t age. Harry Harrison
Red Mesa play the sound of the Desert in their own unique way. Gathering inspiration, and styles morphing along the way. Seeds of Americana are sown. Sludgy riffs and desert winds blown. Mescal rites and biker bar fights!! If you thought the desert was Jim Morrison or Josh Homme, think again. The stoned psych sound of the high desert biker blues will obliterate your perceptions!!
