The New Regime, the brainchild of Ilan Rubin (Nine Inch Nails, Angels & Airwaves), has released Mind, the second installment of the band’s new full-length album Heart Mind Body & Soul. Fans can purchase Mind HERE.
“The songs on Mind deal with the ups, downs, and many things in between one can feel mentally. There are moments of positivity, isolation, questioned loyalty, and lost patience within these four songs, all on top of music that is as is as diverse as the emotions themselves” Rubin says. Mind is preceded by Heart, which recently spawned videos for “A Way To Feel Again,” a song that deals with newfound isolation as a side effect of the digital age, and “Turning A Blind Eye.” The latter’s performance-centric video was shot while The New Regime supported Angels & Airwaves on their sold-out North American tour earlier this fall. Both videos were directed by John David Moffat and can be seen HERE.
Rubin, whose young age defies the amount of work he’s already tackled, was recently called “Nine Inch Nails’ secret weapon” (Metal Injection) and “one of rock’s most in-demand drummers” (Louder). Today, however, it can be argued that the multi-instrumentalist’s best work happens when this one-man-band is fronting-and backing-The New Regime. The band’s previous releases have been featured by massive press outlets such as Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, NME, Alternative Press, and Modern Drummer and have seen them share the stage with Muse, The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Angels & Airwaves, The Used, Juliette Lewis, Alice In Chains, and more. With new music slotted to come out soon, Rubin is looking forward to continuing to reinvent the wheel and becoming a master of his own regime.
