Last weekend, we went over to the Why Rush Fest at Temple Works in Leeds to check out the vibes. It’s an arts fest, and I usually hate stuff like that because wanky pretensious twats strutting around in immaculate threads, sipping wine and champagne is almost a given. Thank god this one wasn’t anything like...
This is why I like jamming. And improvising. Improv, improv and fucking improv until something adds up, experiment, refine and the result is always something cool. Feorm is an instrumental collective based in Norfolk and that is exactly what they do. Find an old barn, get some amps and instruments down and create, create, create!...
More girl bands! This is Bleech from London a rock trio featuring the O’Neill sisters, Jennifer and Katherine and their schoolmate Matt on drums. Their songs are catchy as fuck, gutsy alternative rock with a lot of attitude. Here are some stuff to get you into them: This one is the new video for the...
The newly formed 4 piece post hardcore act from Glasgow, Crusades, have sent me a link to their new single, Pseudo Andro and I guess they chose the right blog because I have always been a hardcore kid at heart. Perfectly timed face shredding riffage ala early Every Time I Die with shrill vocals, melodic...
Ah, I love this. Age of Consent, originally from the Glasgow school of art and now based in London have a new single coming out called Heartbreak due for release this June. Combining all the synth driven post punk and new wave stuff from the 80s like Soft Cell and The Normal and collaborating with...
Gonna break up my synth theme this week with some straight up guitar rock by 2 bands from Manchester, Sex Hands and Daily Life. Sex Hands is in actual fact 3/4 Welsh and only 1/4 Mancunian. Daily Life on the other hand, decided to go on a temporary hiatus by the time this release came...
I’m continuing with the synth theme again. We’ve come to an age where being an “electronic” solo musician almost always seem to result in a “performance” with only a laptop on stage. Which is fine, I suppose. But there is nothing special about that. It’s not exactly a great live experience to watch somebody staring...
Today we bring you something to excite the eyes and ears. Os Ovni‘s new video, Holographic Dreams, is just as pyschadelic as the track name suggests. The Floridian duo’s brand of mutant pop galvanized by an attack of synths, persistent digitalized beats and eerie chanting is further magnified with their intense video collab with VIDKIDZ...
An excellent piece for a Sunday morning, while I sip my Starbucks tall americano, picking at my blueberry muffin and type this on the couch looking out of the apartment. These are a selection of my favorite picks from the french indie label, Wool Recordings‘ recent collabs and releases, easy on the ears, perfect waking...
I don’t usually go out to gigs on Tuesday nights. This one was kinda a random, impulsive decision to get out of the same boring weekday routine of work, home, sleep, dinner, repeat. It’s a chance to break the cycle, enjoy some new bands, make some new friends. And of course, I was primarily there...
Most of you would have had listened to the Sex Pistols at least once in your lives, so this news must mean something to you. The Sex Pistols have signed to UMC last month and with that, they’re re-releasing their very first single, Anarchy In The UK in limited edition 7″ format on pictured vinyl...
On first listen, the first thing that struck me was how complicated this album is. The album I’m referring to Fog Electric by North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO for short), a mammoth 10 track meaty offering due for release via the Kscope imprint (home to my favorite band The Pineapple Thief). What North Atlatic Oscillation is...
