Into the Storm / Captains
EP Stubble - Unsigned
Into The Storm / Captains
Raising a bloody arm from beneath the flotsam in an impenetrable sea of internet sludge come Into The Storm, delivering gruff post-metal with elements of crust punk, angular ambience and Bosh-y algebra. 'Captains' places the fictional...

Atlantis / La Petite Mort
EP Review
Atlantis / La Petite Mort
Synthy post-rock might be the worst of all genres, but occasionally a gem manages to somehow reveal itself. Idiot Pilot are one such band, and Atlantis are a great example of another, managing to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short amount of...

Album Review
Battles / Dross Glop
If you aren't aware of Battles by now, it's probably about time you just gave up on the whole 'listening to music as a hobby' thing. The prolific American 4 piece (now reduced to a 3 piece) have built up a name for themselves via...

Interview
A Place to Bury Strangers
  Blasting out of Brooklyn, A Place To Bury Strangers have been near deafening fans with their super-noisy gothy rock since 2003. Latest release 'Onwards To The Wall' E.P. is a stepping stone between phases of writing for them with the...

Horseback / Half Blood
Album Review
Horseback / Half Blood
'Half Blood' begins with a grinding garrulous bass that is, without a shadow of a doubt , the be-all-and-end-all of a tune that’s perfect for shagging to. Over this pounding bass, sleazy keys come in and some skagged-up guitars to give...

Gig
Meshuggah

BOTW / Boxbeat Robot
Band of the week
Boxbeat Robot
Boxbeat Robot manages to cover pretty much every piece of ground explored by electronica without nailing his colours to the mast. If you can name it, he’s probably done it as well as most others can (often better), whilst adding an boundless...

Album Review
Meshuggah / Koloss
I don’t know what people are calling Meshuggah: “Doom Viking”, “Metal Rough House Doom”, “Graveyard Disturbed Techno Doom”. Who knows, especially not me as I am pondering upon this and you are reading it....

Maundrie Fox / Maundrie Fox EP
In the corner of my inconspicuous but tasteful lounge rests my ageing National Panasonic record player, desperately seeking some restorative attention. A solitary functioning speaker and an elastomeric belt no longer fit for purpose ensures that my...

The Fierce & The Dead / On VHS
“...brand new Soundgarden song on the new Avengers movie soundtrack...” Sweet Jesus, time to retreat to another world, where niggling little things like this don't happen. 'On VHS' differs from most instrumental rock I hear,...
