Whoa, here’s a complete winner for those into noise-rock. This band Whores is of Atlanta and is getting a ton of attention lately. Huge, huge recommendation if you’re into The Jesus Lizard, Young Widows, etc. The 12″ is limited to 500 copies total over two different colors of vinyl. Buy at BrutalPandaRecords.com. Ruiner by Whores.
Brutal Panda has reissued this rock n roll masterpiece from Northwest headbangers Harkonen on the vinyl format for a whole new generation of kids lookin to get psyched. Dudes from this band went on to play in These Arms Are Snakes and Helms Alee and you can hear the frenetic yet focused energy of those [...]
Locrian have a new 7″ single out for Flingco Sound System, and they have somehow pulled off the nearly impossible task of covering a Popol Vuh track. No small feat, and this is not simply an uninspired rehash – the Locrian boys infuse it with their own inimitable sound to create something wholly unique and [...]
As far as experimental synth musicians go, it’s hard to top Keith Fullerton Whitman these days. He’s got two new split LPs out, one with Alien Radio on Dekorder and one with Ben Vida on Amish Records. Both are stunning displays of head-spinning synthesizer programming, not for the faint of heart or future-phobic. You can [...]
Seems like awhile since we heard anything from William Hutson aka Rale. He has pushed plenty of tapes out into the world, but for those of you who prefer a little bit of crackle with your analogue warmth, this is his second foray onto the vinyl soundstage. It’s a perfect medium for his singular brand [...]
Hope you didn’t have any big plans this weekend, The Rapture might end up spoiling that. No, not those hipsters – I’m talking the real fucking deal here. People are literally going to be swallowed up into the heavens. For those of us being left behind, Jeremy at Experimedia is kindly offering 20% off a [...]
You’ve gotta give it to Bathetic, they’ve really jumped head-first into releasing vinyl, taking some hefty risks to put out the music they love. Their newest 7″ comes from Age Wave (aka noise musician Ren Schofield). “Telephone Dreams” manages to toe the line between the nu floaty, synth-driven music that is popular right now and [...]
If you read the site, you’re probably well aware of Young Widows, we’ve covered them a million times. Their new album on Temporary Residence, “In and Out of Youth and Lightness”, is as well-written and mature as anything they’ve done before. I haven’t spent a whole lot of time with it yet, but it might [...]
Gog have staked out quite a plot in the heavy music landscape. By the sound of it – a dark and desolate valley where hooded wraiths channel black holes via amplified feedback and end up conjuring noise as dense as the planets. Vibrations that you will feel and hear, from the deepest narcoleptic drone to [...]
Black metal from Bloomington, Indiana. Probably not what you were expecting though, unless you were expected some blurred-out necro fuzziness dubbed from a tenth generation VHS bootleg. With a vocal aesthetic that at times seems more in line with Not Not Fun than with Sweden’s church-torching locals, this peculiar slab of lo-fi psychedelic blackness can [...]
