HITS FROM THE WRONG FESTIVAL: CHAD MURRAY & ANTHONY GIBNEY FIND THEMSELVES WITH A BUNCH OF CANS AND BANDS IN A SCOUSE WAREHOUSE

“I stepped out of Bo Ningen playing this huge, sprawling instrumental and walked round the building still listening; through the other side and it was still going, I got back through to the other side of the venue and there was like another three to five minutes of seemingly improvised chaos.” Chad Murray reports back from the first Wrong Fest in Liverpool.

Papernut Cambridge – Second Sun

Some of the most eclectic and fucked-up music the label has put out to date. It’s a really nice album to listen to.

Sam Perry – Electric Hell

A futuristic version of Dante’s Inferno in which every circle of Hell is a bleak, technological meltdown.

Dance To The Beat Of The Living Dead: Raw Power Festival Preview

Raw Power is on it’s way; if you’re missing it you better have a fucking good reason, otherwise you’ll regret it. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but soon and for the rest of your life.

Stick In The Wheel: Gnod Live at Electrowerkz

“Gnod are the most essential band in Britain; it shows in everything they do but, I assure you, watching them live is an impeccable and unpredictable experience”.

Talking Yerkish: Chad Murray Gets Primatial With Part Chimp

Chad Murray caught up with Part Chimp, who released their most excellent album ‘IV’ through Rock Action Records recently. “What the fuck IS going to happen??! We just don’t know”.

Flowers Must Die – Kompost (Review & Exclusive Video Premiere)

Flowers Must Die live up to their reputation with this fine first full-length offering for Record Recordings. A crucial component in Rocket’s already landmark year of releases.

The Real Merseyside Derby Begins: A Wrong Festival Preview

I’m coming back to Liverpool from the big smoke for one weekend in April and here’s why:

Kungens Män – Tomhetens Furste

Kungens Män offer another bold, transcendent gem into the Eggs in Aspic arsenal in this bold, vision quest of an album.

GNOD – JUST SAY NO TO THE PSYCHO RIGHT-WING CAPITALIST FASCIST INDUSTRIAL DEATH MACHINE

I can only really compare them to the likes of Bowie and Nine Inch Nails, they’re a band on a complete different level to any other in this underground music scene.

Flicker Rate – Reframe

The second EP from seventeen year-old axe prodigy, Flicker Rate sees an evolution in style, sound and substance, whilst offering a brief glimpse into future offerings.

Grails live at Oslo, Hackney

Like one long lucid dream, a band I had always wanted to see live, played so well and so amazingly that I barely opened my eyes the whole time; it was utterly an trance-inducing trip through musical excellence. I look forward to many, many more Grails gigs going forward.

Stupid Cosmonaut – Algol

It’s like drinking liquid nectar; intoxicating in its spaced-out catharsis and ominous in the most fascinating manner.

Hibushibire – Freak Out Orgasm!

Without a doubt, the sophomore release from these guys is already absolutely unmissable.

Mokroïé – GLOBAL – SYSTEM – ERROR

A unique trip-hop, glitch-hop collection with an idiosyncratic voice and an interesting approach to arrangement.

Deep Space Destructors – Psychedelogy

A surge of psychedelia venturing out into space with the force of an erupting rocket engine, it’s as electrifying as The Rock and as cosmologically satisfying as The Moon.

The Cult Of Dom Keller – Paradiso Is On Fire

It has this intangible quality of being in a venue; as a listener you can feel the different environments that breathe life into the release.

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana

A dashing collection of easy-going psyche pop-rock tracks that will please weirdos and indie fans alike.

Fuck You Snakes: Bad Guys Last Ever Show

It was fucking badass, every creature in the building had their minds blown be it band, fan or miscellaneous.

Julie’s Haircut – Invocation and Ritual Dance of My Demon Twin

A fluid, intoxicating trip that like its title beckons out lysergic leanings and hallucinogenic pleasantries. It’s fucking delightful.

Graeme Miller & Steve Shill – The Moomins OST

This album is a fucking surprise and a revelation, whether you’re on drugs or have small children or Gnod forbid, both, this is an album for you.
