Albums | Lazarus Blackstar / Headless Kross / Split 12"

Lazarus Blackstar are not only the coolest named band on the planet, they are the only one that could burn the flesh off your skull if played loud enough through a speaker and your noggin facing the music spunker. Your dome would be melting like fuck an dribbling down your f...

Albums | Bad Guys / Bad Guys

“I'll do the Bad Guys review after I take a shit.” “Just take a shit on the keyboard and send that in.” I laugh out loud.  Then think. What if I were to do that? Will my shit hitting the keyboard be any more relevant than a review based largely on my encyclopaedic...

Banter | Beard Rock Presents 2

Beard Rock’s second “presents” night in Glasgow finds us hosting without a shadow of a doubt five of the sexiest and dangerous bands the city has to offer; well, the ones that aren't in jail or dead. It ain’t all the same sound across the sonic board but we don’t have any ra...

Albums | Implodes / Recurring Dream

When I heard Implodes, the first thing I noticed about the band wasn't their excellently unique take on alt-goth, but the album cover which featured the silhouette of a fucking guy with a chib, looking like he was right into putting in your stomach Zodiac killer style....

Stubble | RUNGS

I dunno wit the fuck the cunt is singing about on this but am sure he said there “I've got ma dick tucked between mah legs”. Yeah am listening to RUNGs new or debut EP “I don’t wanna hug I just wanna cum” no I never made this up, go an check the link to their bandcamp. That...

Albums | UMBERTO / Confrontations

I'll be honest with you, I'm still be-fucking-fuddled regarding Umberto. This guy sound-tracked a rare Spanish super-cult slasher film round the corner from my work…madness.  That’s Matt Hill to Mr...

Band of the week | No Island

If you like say, erm, OFF!,  Let Glasgow Perish is free to download on Bandcamp. As with most GREAT hardcore music, the tunes only last at their between 30 and 150 seconds. I really like the production on this. They haven’t gone too self-consciously lo-fi or tried...

Albums | My Bloody Valentine / mbv

You need to ask yourself sometimes, when you are fortunate enough to be around for something like My Bloody Valentine releasing another album after what seems like as long it will take the average Rangers fan to have sex with someone that isn't their sister, if you are a...

Interviews | Bad Guys

Little is known of this Bad Guys mob but we can tell you that their sleazy metal thuggery has been causing aural havoc in Beard Rock towers for the last month or so. Darkwülf presses his sonic brethren for their opinions on the issues of the day....   Beard Rock:...

Albums | Sannhet / Known Flood

Everything is fuzzy. I cannot focus. Something has got me pinned down. Hands gripping my legs.  My ankles are near my head. Legs pressed down. I'm naked except for my Holy Mountain t-shirt. My nipples are showing, the left one being licked. Who is on top of me? I lo...

Interviews | High on Fire

Matt Pike has had a few personal complications to deal with recently, but he's once again taken the helm of the High on Fire destroyer to lead their conquest across the pond. Darkwülf took shelter from the Glasgow squall to hook up with the big guy and hear him open...

EP | Peter Prautzsch / Altes Land

As a youngster, I went on a school trip to Switzerland.  I had Superunknown and the Blue Album on a constant loop in between frivolities and finger banging.  The view from my balcony was really something. Down the slope nestled between steep, sharply rising hills w...

Albums | Thought Forms / Ghost Mountain

There is often something brilliantly reassuring when you click play on an mp3 player and hear that first chord struck, all the band at it. You think a word; everyone has one, maybe you have a few. You think of a phrase to signify your happiness, akin to finding the 10 pound...

Albums | Ethernet / Opus 2

Apparently, Tim Gray (Ethernet) recorded most of this in between working shifts in a hospital. Using the knowledge he acquired whilst studying sound at university in LA as a way to medicate or heal, with this record he seems to want to help us seek and find the inner light t...

Singles | Split 7"

Like waking up on the bus to discover a creepy old man (that looks like an alternative/hipster Santa) with his hand down your pants, this rather bodaciously fine 7" split from Uzala/Mala Suerte will grab your junk/attention and not let go until the record stops or if we retu...

Banter | Beard Rock Presents: Conan, Headless Kross and Sku...

I’m walking along Sauchiehall St thanking the Norse gods for the shite weather I asked for to give the night the right doom vibe. We have Skullwizard and Headless Kross supporting Conan. Sunsmasher pulled out because one of them had to go on Pointless. The TV show. So...

Albums | Dragged Into Sunlight / Widowmaker

Above us the skies will turn red, our flesh will be torn from our bones by the teeth of our dead relatives. Governments will reduce the lands to atomic ash and the seas will boil. All the while, Dragged Into Sunlight’s Widowmaker is on a constant loop, our end time...

Gigs | Swans / The Arches

Tonight will be the second time I've seen Michael Gira live in The Arches. Before, it was when he was doing a solo tour, supporting The Boredoms. It was one of the loudest gigs I'd ever been to. You may say that sheer volume is not unusual for him, but bear in mind h...

Gigs | Pentagram / Ivory Blacks

Pentagram’s current tour of the UK is their first one. For a band with a back catalogue as wealthy as theirs and for a band that has been around since the seventies you may well ask yourself why this is the case. Drugs undoubtedly played their part, and their wrath and...

Interviews | Mogwai

Unless you've been living under a rock for nearly two decades or perhaps just caught up in the drama of X Factor, you will be aware of Mogwai. With a stack of critically acclaimed records under their belt and a life-enhancing live show, Mogwai are undoubtedly one of the...

EP | Gabriel The Marine / Stars Collecting

You know when people say they would rather experience some brutal torture than listen to something? Like "I'd rather have my ankles smashed in with a sledgehammer than have to listen to Neurosis again," and you know they are talking shite. Well, if they say this about Ga...

Reviews | Krent Able's Big Book of Mischief

"Mum, can I get Krent Able's Big Book Of Mischief for Christmas?" "If you are a good boy Santa will bring you it." So mommy visits whoever stocks this vile volume of guts, cunt and cock and then decides to masturbate at the painting of Lady Gaga's gigantor phall...

Albums | UMBERTO / Night Has a Thousand Screams

'Night has a thousand screams' is the translation from Spanish to English of Pieces’ original title. Pieces. Hmmm. Pieces. Have you seen Pieces? I first watched it when I was quite young; the copy was utterly horrendous but back in the VHS days when you got a h...

Albums | Mogwai / A Wrenched Virile Lore

Calling 'A Wrenched Virile Lore' simply a remix album is something akin to not paying your taxes, liquidating and then coming back as a new company and pretending you are the same one that never paid the taxes. In layman’s terms, a fucking dicknosed cunt of a t...
