I Jesus Lizard tornano con un nuovo disco dopo ventisei anni di (relativo) silenzio – cioè, diocane, i Jesus Lizard!
Insomma, 'sto nuovo disco s'intitola «Rack» (hanno mantenuto la tradizione di usare una sola parola come titolo dell'album) e uscirà il 13 settembre per la Ipecac. Qui c'è un pezzo che picchia forte e che ovviamente ascolti e pensi sia un tributo a Steve Albini, non c'è niente da fare
My latest abomination. Songs about love sung from the clouds. Songs about hell sung from the grave. Also songs about weight loss. 'Cos once you're in a coffin, you lose a lot of weight, i guess.
Too much cool new shit, that's my favorite luxury problem and it's what the past few weeks had in store, so a C-90 won't suffice this time. That, and also i totally had to add a ten-minute tune to the tracklist because why the fuck not? Dial A for fuzzed-out depravity and general mayhem. B for egg-ish dementia, quirky and forbidden fun and games for the whole family. C for darkness, death and despair. D for some beeps & bloops, followed by hits, hooks and melodies.
Am Samstag wird für mich ein kleiner Traum wahr. In Berlin gibt's jetzt endlich eine Jam Session für Heavy Psych Freaks. 😉 Und wer darf den Abend eröffnen? Meine neue Band 'Anasha'. 🤩
Kommt vorbei, spielt mit, bringt auch gerne eure Instrumente mit!
Hey, look what i found while digging through a pile of rusty tech artifacts at my local anachronism dump! It's what primitive 20th century people used to call a mixtape. Through careful analysis of the magnetic patterns encoded into the layer of ferric oxide on the tape surface, i was able to reconstruct the audio it contains. It's kinda noisy but the music is actually not too bad, i think. But then again, what the fuck do i know about this kind of ancient music anyway...
Because of course you want to listen to Finnish-language sludgerock, here's Kantamus from Helsinki with their 2022 EP "Sun paras ei riitä koskaan" (or something like "Your best is never enough" in English).
Good news! I finally got my shit together and stopped procrastinating blog stuff so in an uncharacteristic fit of diligence i eventually got around to posting another mixtape that's actually been languishing around here for like two weeks.
RA!D is playing with the strangely cool Major Pie, along with the 80s hardcore stylings of World Breaker up in Wilkes-Barre, PA at Curry Donuts on Saturday, Feb 3, 2024.
It’s been a banner year for punk, hardcore, indie and metal, with fantastic releases across all those genres and more making my albums of the year list.
Oh no not again! I must've pushed a wrong button and accidentally put some music on a cassette. I'm so very sorry. There's no way around it now... You'll just gonna have to listen to it.
Some good Monday wake up music, a band I just discovered the other day -- Barren Womb. They have a new album coming out in February, and this one is from 2020. It SMOKES.
I don't even know what to compare it to. They call it 'doomsday rock' - I might hear some Helmet or Fugazi or something, I dunno. Refused? Clutch? It's great, dynamic, fun, loud, catchy-- GREAT all the way through. And one of the coolest riffs might be in the last few seconds of the album!

My latest Spotify playlist is called 'Church of Noise'.
It's a sprawling 12+ hour mixture of some of my favourite shoegaze, dream pop, power pop, slowcore, post-punk & noise rock songs... I threw a few of my own in there too.
