Some great strides have been made to map out the story of Laddio Blocko (mem. Dazzling Killmen, Panicsville, the Psychic Paramount, and Mars Volta), the short-lived, but much loved NY shredders that…
Following up last year’s year-end list keeper Gems & Minerals, Stefan Beck’s latest strips away the multi-instrumental menagerie from that album to focus on the guitar. Layering the instrument in cascading waves,…
Glenn never sleeps it seems, with album over album of excellent jangles wrought out into the world over the last couple of years and a slew of singles run to Bandcamp in…
A tougher nug out of the Aussie camp today, the first single from Stepmother rolls the band’s punk in the ‘70s sweat of MC5 and the garage grit that followed down the…
I feel like enough dust hasn’t been kicked up about this, but today marks the start of pre-order for some official wax from Les Rallizes Dénudés. The Japanese legends, shrouded in mystery,…
