(((O))) Year: 2024
Gavin Brown caught up with Iron Front guitarist Cruz Garcia to hear all about their new album ‘Hooked’ and the impact that Iron Front have had so far as well as discussing brutal moshpits, sick album covers and Bay Area heaviness.
As a whole ‘Til You Fall Down is a little uneven but feels appropriately like a collection of early 7″ singles on an 80’s indie label.
For an album that almost feels like a stop gap on first listen, ‘For samtida djur 1’ is a really enjoyable entry in the now rather large Kungens Man discography.
There’s no denying that this box set which you have in your hands is something fresh, something peculiar, something classical, and something weird.
Gavin Brown caught up with Pete Stahl from DC hardcore legends Scream to talk about their latest album ‘DC Special’ and the return of Scream and much more.
With this new album, Hulder has thrown down the gauntlet, proving she is, without question, the real deal.
The Eternal is going to be one of those albums that’ll be talked about in the years to come.
When music is this full of passion and anguish, language translation does not matter. This will be one of the best post-black screamo albums of the year.
For all the cautionary meditations on the coming doom there is also something celebratory in Ocher’s music. Of small achievements and the connections between people, the possibilities in spaces and evenings like these.
If you missed this album the first time like I did, run out and get this straight away. Superb work from a band who came back to us in a big way!
Four years after Mother of Red Light made a dent on our psyches, meth. return with SHAME. Seven tracks of blistering, visceral agony. Drummer Andrew talks to us about some of the band’s influences.
There will be those who say these songs don’t even sound like Slayer. But that is kind of the point.
There is no doubt Chronicles II: Hypergenesis evolves the story and the band’s musical scope, execution, and I’m sure achievements. It will be of interest as to where it all leads next.
You can hardly do better as far as debut albums go than Tapir! come up with here.
In typical fashion, they have spawned a home-made video for the new release. With one camera and a broken tripod, we follow a self-appointed sleuth and her misplaced devotion to answering the question no-one asked: “Whatever Happened To Dragged Up?”
Like going through a survival of the fittest during those heady times. Not only there’s the complex signatures, but pushing through to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Birds Catching Fire In The Sky. Chaos. Sensationalism. Energy. Entropy. When you’re rewiring the machine, take UKAEA with you.
A classic European mix of screamo and post-hardcore with flashes of black, serves up seven passionate tracks to get the blood pumping.
Eventually, with ‘Opening Scene’ Richard E created an album that promises so much more to come.
