BOTW / Walls
Band of the week
Walls
This isn't your typical hardcore/d-beat. It can be harsh and dissonant, but not in the same way you'll hear in most other places. There is space to move around in it, the guitars don't suffocate you. The rage and paranoia is intoxicated...

72% Morrissey
First Look
72% Morrissey / Bitches Leave
72%Morrissey  take the wrapper off new track 'Bitches Leave' with this Robocop cut-up video.   Typically breviloquent and violent, it's perfect barbecue music for lurking rapists. Imagine Bo Diddley went on a pilgrimage with...

You Slut! / Pitch and Putt With You Slut! video
First Look
You Slut! / Pitch and Putt With You Slut! video
Fannies, corrosive feathers and a giant squid that eats the sun.  The evolutionary journey of a golf ball, obviously.  It's an excellent, ludicrous video for a TRACK OFF OF THAT MEDIUM BASTARD album, out now. The band are singing and...

Helmet / Manchester Sound Control
Gig
Helmet
Somehow, Helmet ended up taking a portion the of blame for the rise of the kind of music that WWE wrestlers walk on to. Somehow, Big Black intensity, Iommi density and a jazz propensity nurtured dress-down day hoodies, poorly-applied eyeliner, half-...

Album Review
16 / Deep Cuts From Dark Clouds
Finally receiving some promotion since signing to Relapse, there’s been a common misconception that 16 have merely leapt aboard the current sludge metal bandwagon with gusto. Having shared stages with fellow scene veterans Grief, 16 can, in...

The Fierce & The Dead / On VHS
EP Stubble - Unsigned
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,...

BOTW / Baby Godzilla
Band of the week
Baby Godzilla
My attitude towards Baby Godzilla's new album (more of an EEP really) has been as unpredictable as the group themselves. On first listen, I was immediately gobsmacked by this adrenaline shot lucky dip of noise riffs, stoner country, screamo,...

Whores./Ruiner
EP Review
Whores. / Ruiner
During the opening seconds of ‘Ruiner’, the debut of Atlanta trio Whores, I truly thought fellow Beard and agitator Darren Bibby was on the wind up; this sounded like Mudvayne 's ‘Dig’ played at the wrong speed. I won...

You Slut!
First Look
You Slut!
'Magnifiererer' is taken from ADHD math rockers You Slut!'s forthcoming second album, 'Medium Bastard'. About 9 brilliant noise riff-outs crammed into 3:45, it makes me want to snort a line of Nescafé and break into the...

Megachurch 2 / Judgment Day
Album Stubble - Unsigned
Megachurch / Megachurch 2 : Judgment Day
“At 2.19am my brother began to stir in his coffin…”   And so begins Megachurch’s second offering Megachurch 2: Judgment Day. The album cover features a bloke in a suit wielding a golden sword whilst straddling a...
