(((O))) Month: February 2013
The band formerly known as I Am Austin have re-emerged as Beard Of Wolves. Martyn Coppack gets to grips with their début EP.
Inter Arma have crafted one of the best albums to be released on Relapse Records in recent years. That in itself should tell you all you need to know.
Newcomers to this three-piece will never believe in a million years that two guitars can be so god damned heavy, while veterans will lap up the bludgeoning, almost concrete solidness of this unrelenting aural barrage.
What a show it was! After the opening track he announced that the show was in celebration of his new album that finally got released today, glad that we could all now hear it, genuinely pleased with the work. And rightly so the album tracks played tonight show a Johnny Marr comfortable in his own skin, no longer worried or concerned with sounding like Johnny Marr.
A three track effort from the Huddersfield / Manchester quartet, ‘Growth’ is a brief snapshot of the band’s current direction albeit one that reveals plenty about their…erm, growth as a band.
If you’re a fan of any of the four musicians that comprise this effort then you know this is entirely worth a listen. If not, I encourage you to sit down and give this piece of art a chance
This is headphone music for you commute on days when you’d rather not be commuting. It’s music to make you curl up with a book or take your dog for a walk to. Buy it. Love it. Hopefully we can collectively convince them to make another.
This is an album you can enjoy track by track, but if you want our advice, set aside an hour, grab your headphones and let Eryn Non Dae. treat you to some sweet darkness.
Multiple listens throw up some beautiful moments and show a much grittier side with the possibility of a bit of danger and here’s hoping that this is where we see more of Mr Livingstone in the future.
Brash negi-hardcore is sometimes exactly what you need at the end of a long day- and this record really is it.
Hill has taken the staples of 80s soundtrack electronica; shimmering bells, rich pads, minor arpeggios, early drum machine sounds; and recreated the sounds of low-budget indie horror to an almost obsessively accurate degree.
While DETTA’s EP “Into the Green-Gold Morning” doesn’t push into new territory and may over-meander at times, it is nevertheless a compelling addition to the post-rock genre.
7.5 Tonnes Of Beard recently released their debut EP. The sludge outfit feature ASIWYFA’s Johnny Adger among its members, and he kindly took time to discuss the way of the beard, and more with Phil Johnston.
‘Images Du Futur’ sounds dirty yet refined, jarring but melodic, confident and haphazard. An impressive addition to the Suuns catalog and a highly recommended listen.
The Kill is a grindcore band from Australia and they released their new album “Make ‘Em Suffer” through the Blastasfuk Grindcore label.
Swedish doom metal band Kongh’s new album “Sole Creation” is just simply well played, well written, well recorded, well sung, doomy, epic metal and sometimes it doesn’t get any better than that.
