Grungy hard-rock ridden “LA Crash” is a tainted Hollywood glamour tale of the elusive space between fantasy and reality…

LA Crash is Siren Call’s love letter to the City of Angels. The video plays with the fantasy we have of Hollywood, of LA, and it’s everlasting enigma; its dark pull and its effect on our psyche. With its idols, bigger than life itself, this city creates and shatters dreams in the blink of an eye. So the cinematic world of LA Crash is also on edge of surrealism, driving recklessly in the Hollywood Hills, crashing with the waves in Venice and losing your head on the Sunset Strip. This is a world where insanity rules and the normal is frowned upon. This is a world where decadence is the norm and our fears are meaningless in the face of eternal glory.

We invite you for a ride to explore LA and and its eternal tragic beauty.

Siren Call’s third video release “Harness” demonstrates the band’s more subversive side with an upapologetic attitude and punk rock aesthetic. Forceful and fierce, “Harness” is an expression of the desire to break free from dependency, whatever form it may take.

Illustrating the song’s themes of angst and rebellion, “Harness” found its visual inspiration in 60s cult film “Girl on a Motorcycle” starring Marianne Faithful and Alain Delon. Yvonne Lace is a modern version of Faithfull’s character, Rebecca, who questions authority, gender norms, morality and the meaning of freedom. The “journey” motif resembles the duality of “Harness”: a symbol of both safety and imprisonment.

As Siren Call’s third release, “Harness” is a departure from “Just a Man”‘s playful take on stereotypes and the moody and poetic atmosphere of”Rose Ashes”. On the other hand, “Harness” is conceptually linked to another “travel motif” song, “LA Crash” – the upcoming video release for Siren Call.

“Harness” has that specific Los Angeles-feel to it, with it’s beaten-down street glamour dressed in leather – an aesthetic continued and elaborated in “LA Crash”. This time the siren takes us on a different sort of journey – a bumpy motorcycle ride through the desert, leading to the City of Angels. And if you join her on that ride ride, don’t forget: safety first. Get your harness on.

Behind the Video Part 2 – “Rose Ashes”

Following the upbeat classic rock-inspired “Just a Man”, Siren Call makes on a darker and moodier turn with “Rose Ashes”. Described as “rock’n’roll poetry”, the song takes the audience on a journey inside singer/bassist Lace’s complex and ultimately cathartic relationship with music and those behind it. The song explores the loss of innocence, subsequent fall from grace, eventually turning into the ultimate ode to survival. Each verse is a stage in the heroine’s path to understanding the significance of suffering and embracing one’s pain to grow and thrive.

The opening line “I used to be a crystal, melting into sound” introduces Lace’s pure love of music, while the second verse’s “I used to be a moth attracted to the light” is reality’s cruel ways of tainting one’s ideals. Eventually an equilibrium is reached, by embracing the tragedy and triumph which result unconditional love: “the petals with the bruises, they often come to fall, but then to take their place new petals come to grow.”

Siren Call did not choose the literal path for the song’s video, which would be to use all the lyric’s metaphors as visuals. Instead the band chose a few striking images, presenting them in a subtle manner, such as the moth (which was a complete accident during filming in the woods) and of course, the roses. The significance of rose comes Lace’s infatuation with “The Little Prince” and the role of the Rose in the story. “The book got me through a particularly rough break-up and symbol of the Rose meant so much.” Yvonne says. “During that time I also talked to a healer, who told me roses are incredible flowers, that despite their fragile beauty can survive during the coldest of winters. Since then they have been an unlikely symbol of strength for me.”

The “Rose Ashes” video focuses more on the emotional atmosphere creating a dreamy reality of shapes and colors mixing and dissolving into one another. The Siren Call motif is also present with the images of ships and pirates which bring both a sense of nostalgia and undying rebellion. The homage to “Old Hollywood” is no accident either, with images featuring guitarist Jason’s grandfather Pedro de Cordoba, a Hollywood actor from Hollywood’s Golden Age.

As you watch the video to “Rose Ashes” allow yourself to be vulnerable as it is through embracing our delicate nature, that our strength can truly reveal itself. In this sense, “Rose Ashes” is the ultimate triumph of life over despair.

Video killed the radio star. Since the birth of MTV in the early 80s, songs and their respective videos have formed a symbiotic bond and have been a source of both fascination and controversy. Since then, a music video is a “must” when it comes to promoting a single  or album. On the creative side, it gives artists a whole new platform to express their message and imagination.

Producing music videos as an indie band requires a combination of DIY-spirit, resourcefulness and lowered expections. Even so, as a band grows, so does its clarity of vision and as a result amazing products can come to life. Siren Call has produced 3 videos so far and is in the midst of releasing a 4th one, no other than “LA Crash” – a song which screams for a video with its elusive imagery and Hollywood references. But more about “LA Crash” later…

In anticipation of the upcoming video release “LA Crash” the end of November, we will present you the background story of each of our released videos so far in chronological order: “Just a Man”, “Rose Ashes” and “Harness”. Let’s begin with “Just a Man”.

“Just a Man” is a song dedicated to the “fallen muses of rock’n’roll” – in other words, the girls behind the music, aka “groupies” or the less degrading: Band-Aids. Inspired by singer/bassist Yvonne Lace’s own experiences i, “Just a Man” also became a tribute to the frontwoman’s favorite movie “Almost Famous”. A classic case of life immitating art. Or the other way around.

Thus was born the video to “Just a Man”,  which tells the story of a modern-day Penny Lane, who is tired of looking up to rockstars and having her illusions shattered – she decides to be the rockstar herself. Shattering the stereotypes of the testosterone-fuelled over-sexed macho male, this new Penny Lane (literally) takes matters into her own hands as she becomes both the singer and bassist of the fictional rockband she once admired.

“Just a Man”‘s feminist message is presented with humor and self-deprecation, through the characters of the “classic male frontman” (hilariously portrayed by the band’s drummer Gabor Szabo) and Penny Lane’s dreamy looks and naive infatuation in the beginning of the story.

In a sense, “Just a Man” is not simply a debut music video for Siren Call. It also establishes the band’s story as a twist on the classic “siren” myth: here, the siren doesn’t just wait for wayfarers to come her way and lure them to their doom – she attacks and takes over their ship.

The siren joins the  Westside rebellion.

Siren Call is a band with a deep connection to Southern California. It was only a matter of time for the siren to join the Westside Rebellion of freedom through punk and its boundless incarnations of self-expression.

WestSide Rebellion Magazine is a “multimedia magazine about music, and literature”, dedicated to covering California’s rich “counter-culture” – a culture which has inspired generations around the world to be themselves. From the hippies of 60s San Francisco, to the punk rock movement, with bands like The Descendants, Sublime and Black Flag – the Westside has been a source of an undying freedom movement.

Punk in California is different than anywhere else in the world. Instead of defining “hardcore” as a staple of loudness and aggression, California has embraced a wide range of styles as “punk”, all marked by authenticy and a penchant for non-comformity. People of different color, gender, cultural background and ethnicity were embraced by punk in a land built on multiculturalism and fearless experimentation.

Siren Call has always been an unusual band unable to fit a certain category. Based in Vienna, Austria Siren Call’s sound is a mixure of grunge, punk and classic rock guitar solos with a Bulgarian bassist frontwoman and an LA native for a guitarist. In 2015 Siren Call once again sailed across the Atlantic to the Westside where they met with Diondre Flemming, the magazine founder, and Oscar Elizondo, the magazine’s photographer at the legendary Whisky a Go Go.

This summer Siren Call was back in Los Angeles and they have teamed with the magazine for an exclusive video interview, discussing music, inspiration and cultural differences between Europe and the US among other themes. Stay tuned for the interview, which will be posted on www.sirencallofficial.com in the upcoming weeks. Also keep up with the Westside Rebellion at: http://www.westsiderebellion.com/

Join the rebellion. Succumb the siren call.

International Vienna-based altrock band Siren Call goes to SoCal for a night of music at the World Famous Doll Hut in Anaheim. So how does a European band fit the sun-soaked world, surf cool Orange County world?

For starters, Siren Call is not your typical “local” band. Unafraid to cross continents and oceans for their music, Siren Call is a mixture of the classic and modern. Inspired by the ancient Greek myth of the sirens, with music  largerly influenced by the SoCal sound, Siren Call has been known to be break boundaries as musical ambassadors of modern myths.

“With our music, we create a bridge between the old and the new, creating our own sort of mythology through our music,” explains Siren Call singer and bassist Yvonne Lace. “The reason why Southern California is so important to Siren Call, is because it is the land where modern myths are created. Just think of Hollywood, Disneyland and the rock’n’roll revolution of the 20th century. There is no better place in the modern world for sirens to flourish than Southern California.”

If you are still not convinced about Siren Call’s SoCal connection, just listen to Yvonne Lace’s voice and you will think that Gwen Stefani is back with No Doubt during the Tragic Kindgom days.

Therefore it is only fitting that Siren Call has set ashore to play at one of Orange County’s cultural gems, The Doll Hut. According to the venue’s website, this “O.C. institution is more than a 100- year-old wooden bar room originally built in the early 1900’s as a private residence it became a truck stop cafe in 1930’s. In 1957 The Doll Hut became a live music venue, made world famous when purchased by promoter Linda Jemison in the late 1980’s.”

Come and experience the siren call for yourself at The Doll Hut in Anaheim this Thursday 8/11/16 at 7pm.

Recorded in the heart of Los Angeles, “Harness” rocks a sultry raw sound, oozing the energy of the Sunset Strip. Deeply reflective and personal, the lyrics tell a story of desire, obsession and destructive passion. This song’s undeniably catchy riff will immediately grab your attention, but it is its deep psychological magnetism that will keep you hooked over time.

We are proud to announce our new video and single “Rose Ashes”!
Described as “rock’n’roll poetry”, “Rose Ashes” resembles the sound and lyrics of bands such as Nirvana and The Doors. Frontwoman Yvonne Lace, who is also Siren Call’s lyricist takes the listeners on a journey through her emotional relationship with music, having gone through being a muse to being an artist. Yvonne’s deeply personal lyrics feature enigmatic imagery and metaphors, opening with “I used to be a crystal melting into sound”, then going on a wild ride of the loss of innocence like “a moth attracted to the light” and finally finding herself a “wild rose, that survives the winter.”
