It&#8217;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&#8217;t anything like that at all. It&#8217;s a 3 day fest but we only managed to come over on the second day, which was Saturday afternoon. I had a pounding hangover from clearing the dancefloor from a previous party the night before so wanted something chilled and different. There were so many things going on that day at different parts of the building but it was also sunny out, so we mostly hung outside, chowing down on amazing spicy veg and chicken tikka wraps. Somewhere in the open carpark, I caught the remnants of a once mighty piano, now smashed to pieces from a performance the night before. We headed in to one of the rooms to check out Urban Exploration, a Leeds improv electronic collective. What they do is fucking amazing: its basically live electronica performed with synths, some weird looking home-made instruments, field recordings and other [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/05/why-rush-fest-leeds-may-12th-2012.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Savages + Pins @ Fuhrer Bunker, Manchester 1st May 2012</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/05/savages-pins-fuhrer-bunker-manchester-1st-may-2012.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/05/savages-pins-fuhrer-bunker-manchester-1st-may-2012.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2012 19:29:21 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured Artist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Parties]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Joy Division]]></category> <category><![CDATA[manchester]]></category> <category><![CDATA[now wave]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pins]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[savages]]></category> <category><![CDATA[siouxie sioux]]></category><guid

At a place called Fuhrer Bunker. In a dead industrial estate with glass shattered and burnt out buildings in the middle of nowhere. Where two supposedly &#8220;amazeballs&#8221; bands were going to play. In a cage. When you add all of that up together it&#8217;ll be stupid not to fucking go. Now this gig was organized by Now Wave Manchester and Sways Records, an indie label based in Salford. I&#8217;ve been to a couple of Now Wave nights when I used to live in Manchester a coupla years ago so kinda know what to expect. I was so wrong. So I took the train down, met up with some friends, we drove there and were led to the secret-ish location by Liv from Shatter Japan mag. At the entrance, I was like, &#8220;Its just a fucking garage. WTF&#8220;. But upon stepping inside, it became apparent that it wasn&#8217;t just a garage. It&#8217;s a magical, smoky dungeon &#8211; dark, dingy, fog machines going mental, there was a bar (when I say bar, I meant a table with a dude handing out cans for a [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/05/savages-pins-fuhrer-bunker-manchester-1st-may-2012.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Feorm</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/feorm.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/feorm.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:08:36 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured Artist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ambient]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Experimental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fen tiger]]></category> <category><![CDATA[feorm]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kosmische]]></category> <category><![CDATA[krautrock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[post rock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[psychadelic]]></category><guid

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! Initially brought together for their love of krautrock  / kosmische stuff like Can and NEU! they&#8217;ve progressively expanded into more ambitious territories &#8211; post-rock, psychadelic vibes, and the more experimental regions, you can tell these guys have a good ear for sound and a brilliant record collection. If you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;Hold on a sec. That sounds fucking wanky&#8220;, you&#8217;re wrong. It&#8217;s not about using effects for the sake of using, and it&#8217;s absolutely not self-indulgent in any way. These are some of my favorite tracks are from their self titled album, released via Fen Tiger: [Feorm - Munc The Gover] [Feorm - Clocking] [Feorm - It Is The Mercy] &#160; This is so simple and yet so fucking beautiful: [Feorm - Sun Dogs] Support and buy their album here.

Perfectly timed face shredding riffage ala early Every Time I Die with shrill vocals, melodic in some parts while till mantaining a heavy constant, Pseudo Andro is a fucking awesome track. No cheesy &#8220;brootal&#8221; breakdowns, just all out riot. Have a listen: [Crusades - Pseudo Andro] New 4 track ep, Golden Throats, recorded with Brian Rintoul who&#8217;ve previously worked with bands like We Were Promised Jetpacks, will be released this summer.

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 Luke Smith who has worked with Foals and Depeche Mode previously, it&#8217;s pop with a dark undertone.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/?p=5475</guid> <description><![CDATA[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 out because one of em decided to move to New Zealand. Sex Hands comprise of members from Klaus Kinski, Irma Vep, and Waiters and they sound like a mob up to no good, essentially, loud fuzzed-up garage rock, shouty vocals, everything in lo-fi, almost veering into absolute shambolic disorder. It&#8217;s like going a karaoke bar with a buncha drunk guys, everyone shouting into the mic together &#8220;ICHIBAN FOR MEN! ICHIBAN FOR MEN!&#8221;. And that&#8217;s their aim I think, to be as chaotic and fun as possible without sounding like shit or taking themselves too seriously. Contrast that with the more reverb-ed / jangly, summer-friendly pop sounds of Daily Life and you&#8217;ve got an ace 12min player in your hands. Fans of bands like Male Bonding, Crocodiles and others of that ilk will like this.

And I genuinely love Uh Huh Her. Its pop music. And occassionally pop music, especially good pop music, is good for your soul. This gig was meant to be a kinda guilty pleasure thing. Also The Horn The Hunt, which I have organized a show for previously and covered extensively on here, are supporting. One of my friends, Alice, has just joined the band as a guitarist. Could I have gotten a guestlist? Maybe. But this gig is at the Brude. And I like supporting local venues and actually paying for my ticket so that the bands get a fair deal too. I bought my ticket, thought, hey why not bring my camera too as I usually do when I go to local gigs and headed down. Yes, I was expecting a mass of over-eager, young L Word female fans, yes I was expecting it to be slightly more mental than usual, but I wasn&#8217;t expecting this: 2 bouncers stopped me at the door. 1 of them was friendly and lovely. But the other, who, upon seeing my camera said that I [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/uh-huh-her-the-horn-the-hunt-leeds-23rd-apr-brudenell-social-club.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Soft Riot</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/soft-riot.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/soft-riot.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Apr 2012 11:40:38 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[asylum party]]></category> <category><![CDATA[bunker strasse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[coldwave]]></category> <category><![CDATA[darkwave]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Electronic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Experimental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[norma loy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ritualz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[soft riot]]></category> <category><![CDATA[synth pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tundra dubs]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/?p=5467</guid> <description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m continuing with the synth theme again. We&#8217;ve come to an age where being an &#8220;electronic&#8221; solo musician almost always seem to result in a &#8220;performance&#8221; with only a laptop on stage. Which is fine, I suppose. But there is nothing special about that. It&#8217;s not exactly a great live experience to watch somebody staring behind a laptop screen, is it? There is something honest and genuine about analog and it&#8217;s quite hard to remain analog especially if your persuasion is electronic. Why lug multiple big ass synths, fumble with microphones and co-ordinate with cables, stands, mixers and managing the execution of it all when they can all be compacted and easily served from a laptop? This here is Jack, also known as Soft Riot based in London. His music is heavily synth based, dark, with a certain 80s leaning. And I&#8217;m talking about the coldwave / darkwave movements with a touch of new wave. It brings to mind my love for bands like Norma Loy, Bunker Strasse, maybe even the slightly more palatable Asylum Party: With 2 actual synths plugged into a myriad of effects and accompanied by equally athmospheric lighting, Soft Riot stays true to analog, successfully maintaining [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/soft-riot.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Os Ovni &#8211; Holographic Dreams</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/os-ovni-holographic-dreams.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/os-ovni-holographic-dreams.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:15:16 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Electronic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[experiemental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Os Ovni]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[psychadelic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robot elephant records]]></category><guid

These are a selection of my favorite picks from the french indie label, Wool Recordings&#8216; recent collabs and releases, easy on the ears, perfect waking up music to a quiet Sunday morning. I have featured an artist from their roster called Franklin and others like Com Truise, ages ago. But I figured, it&#8217;s about time I checked out what&#8217;s new in the Wool Recordings catalogue. And it&#8217;s a very refreshing and quality re-discovery, much like a good cup of your favorite coffee, freshly brewed. There are 3 artists that I really wanna talk about today, and they are Peter Broderick, A Classic Education and Frank Rabeyrolles. They&#8217;re all different, and have different styles but the thing that they share together is a love of beautifully executed reverb, and the quiet side of things. This is A Classic Education from Bologna, Italy: [A Classic Education - Terrible Day] The sweet vocals, reverbed guitars and that 60s indie drum and bass beat are getting my approval this hazy morning.

This one was kinda a random, impulsive decision to get out of the same boring weekday routine of work, home, sleep, dinner, repeat. It&#8217;s a chance to break the cycle, enjoy some new bands, make some new friends. And of course, I was primarily there to see Galaxians again. And I love the venue, Wharf Chambers. The folks behind the bar were cooking dinner for the touring bands, people were playing foozeball and enjoying a chilled beer. Then, an unexpected visit from my hairdresser&#8217;s colleague who worked in a pretty posh salon round the corner, he came up to say hi. In the other room, the other bands were setting up and soundchecking. A really relaxed, friendly vibe. First up was Hagman, a  2 man performance duo armed with a hell of alot of effects pedals, some home-made equipment rigged up to strange machines and cb radios. My ears were treated to a good serving of noise tweaked, manipulated, distorted and bleeding out of the speakers for 25 minutes. It was a refreshing experience and I quite liked it: [Hagman - For Next To Nothing] From the town of Bletchley, [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/galaxians-clara-clara-house-of-john-player-hagman-leed-wharf-chambers-17th-april-2012.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Sex Pistols &#8220;Anarchy In The UK&#8221; Record Store Day Limited Reissue</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/sex-pistols-anarchy-in-the-uk-record-store-day-limited-reissue.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/sex-pistols-anarchy-in-the-uk-record-store-day-limited-reissue.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:02:56 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jamie reid]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Punk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sex pistols]]></category><guid

The album I&#8217;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 putting out basically, is a collection of found sound and electronica mathematically arranged into a beautiful patchwork of songs almost resembling music &#8211; because, well, it&#8217;s not music. It&#8217;s fucking art. This is most definitely not an easy listening album. Fog Electric, with its subtle technical offtimed pace changes, unexpected guitar riffs surging to epic wall of sound levels, background textures punctuated with a myriad of electronic manipulated loops, bleeps, repeats and dreamy/eerie synths  &#8211; its a revelation. It&#8217;s like as if AIR, múm, Mew, Boards of Canada, Death Cab and Mogwai have decided to form a ridiculous superband and this is the finished product. Quite an excessive statement to make, but seriously, have you heard the album yet? Post rock? No. Prog rock, it&#8217;s not quite. I think NAO has more than surpassed &#8220;prog&#8221;. This is the fucking future.

They&#8217;re 2:54 and I think I&#8217;m going to go and see them in Leeds tonight. What is it about them that enthralls me so? Check this beautiful video: [2:54 - You're Early VIDEO] [2:54 - You're Early] 2:54 are sisters Colette and Hannah Thurlow, joined by Alex and Joel on bass and drums. It&#8217;s the haunting dual guitars and the seductive vocals that get to me, it&#8217;s sexy, dangerous and dark at the same time. Vivid, brooding and moody as hell, listening to them conjures up bits and pieces of images from random films &#8211; late night lonely drives, out to the edge of town, cut to a crappy motel room, then cut to somebody that looks like a version of Fiona Apple staring at you in a dingy nightclub, a cigarette dangling from her mouth, a frantic party in full swing &#8211; everything seen through slowmotion lens. Its like if the XX, Phantogram and School of Seven Bells making a record together, they&#8217;ll sound like this. Hell, Warpaint fans will seriously dig this band.

Well, it went like this: I was at the Kylesa + Circle Takes The Square show at Josephs Well a coupla weeks back. And I saw this kid at the bar with an orange Diet Pills patch. I&#8217;ve seen that patch before and I swear to god I&#8217;ve heard some friends mention this band a coupla times. The patch unnerved me, particularly because I felt like I should know this band and also because that orange was proper bright hahahaha And then I saw their name cropping up again in a some blog/forum thing and I was like, thats it, I have to get to the bottom of this. Diet Pills, is a four piece from Leicester. They&#8217;ve been going on for about 4 years now, and their sound is what they refer to as rock &#8211; which is, if we were to be a bit more descriptive, sounds like Ed Gein and Kylesa put together &#8211; just sludgier, with a higher pitch, Locust-style vocals.

It&#8217;s Speak And The Spells&#8216; She&#8217;s Dead EP from 2010 and I was thinking, as I browsed RER&#8217;s back catalogue online, that this record is perfect for a not-so-sunny Sunday afternoon like today. I hope you like a little bit of garage rock: Speak &#38; The Spells are a 3 piece doing this retro rockabilly-style revival thing complete with fuzzed out guitars, pounding rolling bass and rock and roll vocals howlin&#8217; and screamin into the night. And you know how sometimes this kinda stuff gets tired and repetitive quite quickly &#8211; well, this release isn&#8217;t like that. I know the lyrics are a bit dark but I dare you to play this at a summer house party. It&#8217;ll go down well.

Heroin Diet are a punk band from Manchester, fast 2 minute blasts with reverb vocals, very much in the vein as the recent new wave of punk upstarts like those Danish brats, Iceage. Heroin Diet are somewhat newly formed and I&#8217;ve just discovered that I&#8217;ve missed their show last night at Wharf Chambers. Bummer. [Iceage - New Brigade] I wanted to buy their cd, but they currently only have their demo in tape format. I like tapes, the problem is I no longer own a tape player, and this is fucking lame of me, I know. Tape players are relatively cheap these days but I&#8217;ve just not gotten round to getting one. So I emailed the band, and asked if I could buy any merch (like patches or badges etc) instead. Nathan got back to me and said they don&#8217;t have any merch at the moment and would I like to buy the tape. I told him about my tape predicament but told him I really genuinely wanted to buy their stuff, having heard these 2 songs on their bandcamp: He emailed [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/heroin-diet.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Vinyl Roundup</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/vinyl-roundup.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/vinyl-roundup.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:50:52 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Viers</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[DJs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[2nd Drop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Burial]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dekmantal]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Four Tet]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jack Sparrow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[leeds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ruckspin]]></category> <category><![CDATA[San Proper]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Skudge]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tessela]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Tribe Records]]></category><guid

Personally when I select my vinyl to buy it isn’t always about the “biggest tune” or “hype” tracks, its more about what im happy to sit around and listen to while I’m either working or on Fifa 12. Anyway first things first my most recent buys! As a massive fan of the “2nd Drop” out put when I found out about the new Tessela release I had to get it, the dark percussion sends me back to the days of listening to Jack Sparrow or Ruckspin, but the drum riddim is all about a new UK Funky/2step rhythm, slightly of kilter but the bass just punchs in all the right ways. Not even to mention those rave stabs (get me every time) [Tessela - Darlene, Please] Next is Skudge &#8211; Silent Running and San Proper&#8217;s Rattle (Station 2 Station), recommended by Tribe Records (Leeds) to me and now to you.

This latest track sees them continuing their foray into dark electronica territory, armed with a video of intensely choreographed dance moves, Helen Hamilton almost like Natalie Portman in Black Swan, her vocals stronger than ever. Do As You Please is only the 2nd song that is publicly released by Death Rattle thus far. It&#8217;s a relatively new project but Death Rattle has been around for years, in other guises such as That Mouth and Los. And the more I hear them, the more certain I am of the Fever Ray, maybe even The Knife vibes coming off these tracks. Do As You Please will be released on 7th of May. You must check out their 1st track The Dig in a previous post here. Go say hi to them.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/death-rattle-do-as-you-please-video.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Fear &amp; Loathing at British Wildlife March 2012</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/fear-loathing-at-british-wildlife-march-2012.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/04/fear-loathing-at-british-wildlife-march-2012.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 02 Apr 2012 20:24:32 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Parties]]></category> <category><![CDATA[british wildlife]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[disco]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Float Riverer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[galaxians]]></category> <category><![CDATA[garage pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[halo halo]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[leeds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[noise]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pifco]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[super luxury]]></category><guid

This is one of their house-party vibes kinda gig at RnR. Never a bad night. In fact, I got educated on Galaxians. How could I have missed out on this band for this long, I have no idea. Galaxians is Jed and Matt (of Azores, ex Cissy) and they fuse all the best bits of disco, krautrock, and 80s italo together into a gigantic wave of live awesomeness. We&#8217;re talking about pure dance music here, done with a DIY attitude with solid, live drums. It&#8217;s got all the kids dancin like its 1989. You know its a party when the entire room&#8217;s groovin and sweatin. Galaxians have some rough recordings down. I cant wait for them to mix and master some of them because these tracks are fit as: [Galaxians - UHF 625] [Galaxians - Mermaids of Miami] Pifco were the first band to open, fun DIY guitar pop. And then, I had words with this drunk during Halo Halo&#8216;s set. I don&#8217;t usually give a fuck but this one was seriously distruptive in a way that was not cool.

That&#8217;s where my true love for music lies &#8211; in sweaty basement shows, packed to the rafters, supporting your mate&#8217;s band at a random show in an industrial unit somewhere, getting drunk, falling in love, slamdancing, fists punching the air, ripping that riff right off the fucking guitar, screaming like I meant it. And I mean it. Band I really love, to this day, are bands like Saetia. Orchid. La Quiete. Raein. Amanda Woodward. Circle Takes The Square. Chaotic, screamo bands. Explosions, a method of expression through genuine, sometimes political, sometimes heartfelt lyrics. Bands that don&#8217;t give a shit about how they look. Bands that gave a fuck about their music, the music as a medium of communication. [City of Caterpillar - A Little Change Could Go A Long Ways] For me, I think screamo, and without trying to sound elitist/childish, I mean real screamo, slowly died out after the demise of Level Plane Records. Those few that continued with this genre slipped further underground. And then the genre itself became confused with a lot of shit like The Used and others of that ilk. After that, I stopped listening to screamo [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/pianos-become-the-teeth.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Pandreas</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/pandreas.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/pandreas.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 29 Mar 2012 21:13:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[DJs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured Artist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drugs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gold panda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[noise pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Pandreas]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pop]]></category><guid

The Norwegian producer Andreas Rasmussen who goes by the moniker Pandreas, dropped me a quick short email earlier this week, about his love for photography and music, leaving his soundcloud link for me to get into. If I&#8217;m honest, I wasn&#8217;t expecting much. &#8220;Noise pop&#8221; &#8211; sure, everyone does noise pop these days. It&#8217;s almost a by-word for pop music done badly. Yet, what greeted me instead was something so magnificent, I had to blog this up now before the folks at Pitchfork get hold of it. Imagine D/R/U/G/S on drugs, or Gold Panda completely blissed out &#8211; no, this isnt that chillwave crap, rather, noise-pop that isn&#8217;t using the word &#8220;noise&#8221; to hide its inferiority.  Pandreas makes use of samples and loops from here and there, bits and pieces of found sound and weaves and recycles them into gloriously accessible pop. It&#8217;s pop music for dancers, believers. It&#8217;s joyous, beautiful pop music. Simple and emotional at the same time. I can&#8217;t believe these are his only productions. Experience it: [Pandreas - Glimt] [Pandreas - Sirkel (Sag)] [Pandreas - ESOTSM]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/pandreas.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Enigma Dubz</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/enigma-dubz.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/enigma-dubz.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:38:17 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[DJs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bass]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dubstep]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Enigma Dubz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LU10 Records]]></category><guid

Bad ass garage rock with pop sensibilities. Ok, maybe not as bad ass as The Coathangers and not quite Sleater Kinney if I&#8217;m honest but they still fucking rock. A 4 track demo ep simply entitled Recordings is up for grabs via their bandcamp. It&#8217;s basically the kinda songs we&#8217;d play at Suck My Left One! I wanna go and watch them play a show at a bar, get drunk and hang out with every single one of them after the gig. Cruel Pattern Vicious Cycle is a nice introduction: I Can&#8217;t Catch My Breath gets seriously down and dirty. The rock and roll guitars and vocals proper make this song: There&#8217;s more over at their bandcamp so head over for a listen. They didn&#8217;t give me any links with information on where to buy anything at the time of writing, so keep an ear out.

With their strong attachment to Krautrock and Italo, this Brooklyn duo compose tracks that can be both cosmic and cold at the same time. Rolling insistent beats clash with severe, numbing synths. I love it. Coma is the perfect example to showcase: Reminds me so much of my other favorite band, The Soft Moon: Line is another winner. The German underground influence strong and valid: Take also, this track, Romance. It begins like a hopeful disco adventure, but the moment the weeping mellow synths come in, all that initial hope is lost, the tinge of sadless takes centre stage. What started as bright and confident optimism becomes the soundtrack to running away and loneliness. If you&#8217;re feeling adventurous, listen to their remix of Elite Gymnastix. Don&#8217;t let the long intro put you off and get ready for the journey: Buy their Romance / Coma ep here, out via our favorite label DiscError.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/goitia-deitz.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Slowcoaches</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/slowcoaches.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/slowcoaches.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:19:03 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[diy]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dolfinz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[garage punk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[kathleen hannah]]></category> <category><![CDATA[leeds]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pretty girls make graves]]></category> <category><![CDATA[slowcoaches]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tye dye tapes]]></category><guid

And if you have been inside the Temple Works, you will know why the building was perfect for this. Far from the hospital-clean, minimal and zen art spaces we&#8217;re used to with their unblemished white walls, neatly and compulsively labelled art pieces, and watched over by obnoxious and over-ly pretensious art zealots, the huge Temple Works will fully utilise its original characteristic floors &#8211; there is one that resembles a German military interrogation bunker setting with its solemn lighting and cubicle spaces, there is another floor with its bright natural lighting from ceilings and high, textured walls make like an abandoned pre-war ballet studio. Then there are the vintage toilets &#8211; some that could have been used for the setting of that freakish horror film Saw (the very first one) and the others cleaned-out and re-used into artist spaces. There are also the neat hidden stairwells and walls peeling from old paint, exposing stone and concrete, the history of the building peeking through, almost merging with the art. It is, quite seriously, a setting and an experience [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/why-rush-temple-works-leeds.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Wrongpop Presents: Volume 1</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/wrongpop-presents-volume-1.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/wrongpop-presents-volume-1.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 17 Mar 2012 15:05:53 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[alternative]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ice sea dead people]]></category> <category><![CDATA[ikara colt]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[memory tapes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[noise]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pulled apart by horses]]></category> <category><![CDATA[rock]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wrongpop]]></category><guid

This information is regarding Wrongpop: Volume 1, a compilation of songs from up and coming bands in aid of Deafness Research UK. Some really awesome bands in here; Shield Your Eyes (check out photos from their set in Leeds), That Fucking Tank, Pulled Apart By Horses, Kong, and my new favorite discovery of the month, Ice, Sea, Dead People. Ice, Sea, Dead People are a bunch of London kids doing skewed up noisy garage punk, plenty of off-timed riffs, abrupt stops and bratty shouty vocals. Kinda like if you try hard to imagine The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower with the swag of Ikara Colt. It&#8217;s not quite punk attitude but it&#8217;s energized as fuck. Here&#8217;s their track on the Wrongpop comp: [Ice, Sea, Dead People - Ultra Silence] [Ice, Sea, Dead People - Laser Brain] [Ice, Sea, Dead People - Hence:Elvis] Back to the Wrongpop comp.

I smile like a stupid groupie every time I remember the moment I saw Katy outside The Library in Leeds a few years back, and the time when I very shy-ly came up to say hi to Cassie in her denim jacket, as she was lighting a fag outside the show at the Brude&#8230;. anyway - Cassie Ramone&#8217;s other band The Babies have a new single coming out in April via Bad Paintings Records, a DIY label based in York (that&#8217;s just a few train stops away from Leeds!). That&#8217;s perfect timing considering April is when Spring is in full bloom, and with warmer weather comes the yearning for warmer sounds. First recorded in 2009, My Name and The War were one of the first songs written and recorded by the band. Bad Paintings suggests Shangri-Las and the English psychadelic rock group, The Creation, as possible influences. This is honest garage pop with undeniable, retro-surf sentiment borrowed from 60s garage rock songwriting. Where Vivian Girls sometimes veer into raucous fun, The Babies retain their raw sound through a stripped back, direct approach &#8211; direct in that [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/the-babies.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Breton Releasing New Single Interference + Video</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/breton-releasing-new-single-interference-video.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/breton-releasing-new-single-interference-video.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2012 16:32:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured Artist]]></category> <category><![CDATA[aeed]]></category> <category><![CDATA[breton]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dam mantle]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dance]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Delphic]]></category> <category><![CDATA[fantastic mr. fox]]></category> <category><![CDATA[gold panda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Good Shoes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hudson Mohawk]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[james blake]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kitsune]]></category> <category><![CDATA[lapti]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[SXSW]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Two Door Cinema Club]]></category> <category><![CDATA[untold]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/?p=5134</guid> <description><![CDATA[We previously featured Breton 2 years ago when they released the Counter Balance via Untold&#8216;s label Hemlock Recordings, the London indie label who&#8217;ve released stuff by forward-thinking garage/house/bass producers like Fantastic Mr Fox and James Blake. 2 years is a long time in music-industry-speak and Breton has somewhat primed in that space, developing their sound to higher levels of sophistication. Where previously they were almost always unavoidably compared to Foals, now the evolution is almost complete with a sound they can uniquely claim as their own. Take the example below from the Counter Balance ep: One of the video&#8217;s commentators pointed out that &#8220;Foals could have done it.&#8221; Maybe, maybe not. To me, Foals have always been a technical guitar band with electronic music elements. Breton, on the other hand is an electronic band with guitar elements. It&#8217;s a distinct difference. The use of dubsteppy beats meets Good Shoes style indie dance. You can see why Hemlock Recordings was perfect for Breton. But Good Shoes is so 2007. And dubstep, as a genre has moved on. When we heard this video 2 years ago, it was mint. Now, it sounds kinda unimpressive. Unimpressive not because the band is shit, far [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/breton-releasing-new-single-interference-video.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>A Place To Bury Strangers</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/a-place-to-bury-strangers.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/a-place-to-bury-strangers.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 10 Mar 2012 22:43:11 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[A Place To Bury Strangers]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ambient]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Dead Oceans]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indie]]></category> <category><![CDATA[School of Seven Bells]]></category><guid

A breathy and mellower version of the original, the addition of drum machines and synth accentuates the moody athmosphere.

Simple but not simplistic, plenty of delay / reverb guitars, dual vocals harsh shouty screams meets melodic singing and anthemic sing-a-longs with intense lyrics. The main screaming vocal style is like one of my fav bands Aussitort Mort &#8211; yet perhaps not as frantic I would have liked, and only probably because of the quality of the recording but I like them. Monochromatic by Barrow In Blight and Boast by Barrow [Aussitôt Mort - Le Desespoir Des Singes] Being Without is their most recent offering, having only been released in late December last year. Its also a good place to start. You can buy it directly from them via bandcamp for only a fiver. It will be the best fiver you will ever spend this month.

The video sees the Icelandic songstress team up with Drew Berry, one of the world&#8217;s foremost animator specializing in biomedical visualization, to represent a partly scientific view of the song. The level of detail in the graphics of the video was achieved by taking exploring inside Bjork&#8217;s body at a microscopic level, and the animation was then created from molecular models of DNA through scientifically sourced data obtained from methods such as x-ray crystallography. Acomplicated process and one that is fascinating at the same time &#8211; the result is a beautiful video, painfully intricate, fitting for a song as eerie as Hollow. It forms part of the theme of Biophilia, &#8211; through which Bjork reaches out to her audience and explains how nature, music and technology can come together into one amazing, beautiful union.

isPermaLink="false">http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/?p=5046</guid> <description><![CDATA[Whilst trolling online looking for skramz bands, my ears locked onto Mahria, a band based in Edmonton, US. Their self titled cassette was released late last year via Bart Records. That is their only full length so far and it&#8217;s tight as fuck. Chaotic screamo, shrill screamy vocals just like I like it, lyrics earnest and personal. Why this really wins for me is the fact that the lead singer is a woman &#8211; not that it&#8217;s so important to look at the gender of lead singers but that screamo or hardcore for that matter, is such a male dominated scene, that, when every once in a while you hear a great band with an awesome vocalist who happens to be female, it&#8217;s just so refreshing, and powerful and inspiring. Corey, the vocalist for Mahria, has a thing or two to say about this. Also, they remind me of this: [La Quite - La Fine Non è La Fine] I loved all the songs and it&#8217;s hard to pick some favorites but here are some tracks from the release that grabbed me the most: [Mahria - Lights] [Mahria - Justification of an Old Man] [Mahria - Wagering Life] The entire [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/mahria.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Constantina</title><link>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/constantina.html</link> <comments>http://www.bad-fotography.co.uk/2012/03/constantina.html#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:44:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Trent Rampage</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Bands]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ambient]]></category> <category><![CDATA[constantina]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Experimental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[instrumental]]></category> <category><![CDATA[jazz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mum]]></category> <category><![CDATA[post rock]]></category><guid

I was introduced to Constantina as an instrumental 7-piece post-rock band hailing from Brazil and let me tell you what they really me of  &#8211; nevermind Mono, think múm, that icelandic band of quiet whispers and twitchy hazy electronica. Does that make them any less post rock? I&#8217;m not sure, maybe not in the context of Haveno, the fourth album to be released digitally via the Dry Cry imprint. Whilst I was expecting a sombre set of songs that begin moodily in all their technical emotive glory and escalate into a crashing crescendo, what happened instead was that I was greeted with uplifting, easy listening numbers punctuated throughout with really twee electronica niceness and jazz-lounge percussions and the sounds of the Brazilian fiesta in the background. This does not mean that my experience was a bad thing, it&#8217;s just quite unexpected. And sometimes unexpectedness, especially in this case, is good. Here are my favorites from the official album stream: [Constantina - Azul Marinho] [Constantina - Juan, El Marinero] &#8211;> Wait for the drum machine to kick in.
