I’m not familiar with the original creations of Bleed the Pigs but these two Nirvana covers certainly entice me to learn more. They are an onslaught of energy but still remain faithful to the originals (a compliment to their ability to pick proper songs to cover). I would see this live and be terrified – […]

I love the recordings of Jonny Fritz but the energy that comes from his live performances doesn’t always fully translate. So, it’s nice to have a proper recording spanning his last few albums. I mean, “Life a Bear” live just can’t be beat.

Another two tracks from the Dark Digest series have been released over on the Meadownoise bandcamp page. The above track, “Deafened by the Ring”, is a bit of a meta journey regarding playing live. The other track, “Think Like a Monkey”, is also available for your listening pleasure and MAY be about fatherhood – at […]

New EP from Bad Cop is coming down the pipe for release on October 28th. Wish You Well … and Goodbye is a scant three songs but they manage to pack the punch you come to expect from the band. They also seemed to have found the proper match for themselves in terms of production – […]

Never doubt the power of compelling album art. I’m calling this a Kubrickian shout out to the Overlook Hotel – even if that’s not the case, that’s the story I’m going with.  The music within is energetic, diverse and a very solid bit of good time pop. Do enjoy.

Well what have we here? A new How I Became the Bomb song? And the promise of a new record, Adonis,  on November 4th? I’ll file this one under Unbelievable.

With a name like “ZeR0FuX” you have to wonder if the artist really gives, well, any fucks about what they’re making but the results of this ambient undertaking suggest at least one or two fucks were given. It’s a great headphone listen that I can personally endorse as working to drown out the sounds of […]

Not quite sure what to make of Neon Black yet as I’ve just heard the one song but with band members named “Wherewolf” and “Ape Wall” I’m certainly intrigued to hear more.

The latest from “Wrong” is a nice slowly building piece of bedroom pop that keeps up a solid “rainy melancholy Sunday” vibe. Taken from this 80N7 compilation featuring plenty of other quality bedroom pop.

Tomorrow is Cassette Store Day and as Burger Records is leading the charge in the revival of the format, they’re also releasing a lot of quality tapes to go along with the celebration. One such release is Natural Child’s Live in Birmingham – available tomorrow, Sept 27th. Preview “White People” at the link above.
