Ochi – Tremor EP (Geenger Records)
I have to admit that I waited with anticipation for this material to come out, and judging by the reactions on social media, I am not the only one. Ochi has created a kind of mystique imagery around themselves with a video for their debut single, mainly because this band popped out of nowhere and…

Talk Show Host – Mid-Century Modern LP (Wiretap Records / Disconnect Disconnect Records)
Today, I would like to talk about the group that caught my ear as soon as I stumbled upon their music. Talk Show Host is a new name to me, but the group operates for years. They released series of singles and extended plays since 2016, such as Disunion Tour EP, Perfectly Competent EP, a…

Embassy 516 – Surveillance Of The Environment CD (Geenger Records)
Once again, I am digging through the Geenger Records archives in search of some of their older releases, and I stumbled upon a familiar name. This name doesn’t need any introduction to those who’re following the Croatian alternative music scene. Embassy 516 is a longevous alternative rock group that roams the scene for quite a…

Century Egg – Little Piece Of Hair 12″ EP (Forward Music Group)
There is a plenty of outstanding indie rock bands out there, and you can’t even say anything negative about their music because they all sound equally good. However, the groups that are popping out from the crowd are rare today, so some of those groups may sound similar or almost the same. Luckily, there are…

Green Jellÿ – Garbage Band Kids CD (Cleopatra Records)
It’s been a while since Green Jellÿ released a brand new material. Eleven years passed since their latest full-length named Musick To Insult Your Intelligence By. In the meantime, Green Jellÿ released several singles, such as Fr3to F33t, Green Jello Suxx Live Three Little Pigs Live Single, Trumpty Dumpty, Marty The Weirdo with Pudge, Silence…

Stonetree – Void Fill 2 CD
Stonetree are coming back with another brilliant material that will appeal to all the admirers of an alternative rock sound. Stonetree are not strangers to these pages, and I previously had an opportunity to write an article about the first edition of Void Fill. These Austrian rockers decided to send me their latest recording, which…

Grimm Winter – Grimm Winter
For some weird reason, I pushed aside pop-punk music in the past couple of weeks. It’s not that I got bored by the pop-punk sound, but it seems to me that the pop-punk scene has been quiet for a while. I am positively sure there a lot of brand new recordings out there, but maybe…

Blue Coffee – In And Out
The contemporary music scene offers so many brilliant groups that seek the attention of the broader auditorium, but somehow most of them remain unheard and never gain well-deserved recognition. It seems like this quarantine caused by the pandemic gave a lot of spare time to musicians to finish their recordings, but most of them released…

Aleph Trio – Promenade
There are hordes of immensely creative artists out there that are seeking the attention of the broader auditorium. Creative minds are continuously popping out from every possible direction by demonstrating brilliant ideas realized through tremendous musicianship. The best part about this phenomenon is that the quantity doesn’t exceed quality, so you cannot even choose your…

Blackout Transmission – Sparse Illumination LP (Etxe Records)
There’s something about particular bands that works out best for me during the rainy days. Their music doesn’t need to contain melancholic vibes. Quite the contrary, heavy dosages of reverb, delay, and echo effects over profoundly melodic music are more than enough to keep me moving. Blackout Transmission is one of those bands you’ll instantly…

Послесвечение – До Лучших Времён
Nothing matches the late-night atmosphere caused by an obsessive continuous listening to post-punk music. Somehow this particular genre works for me during the night when I need to calm down and relax from a daily grind. There’s something in calm, cold, bleak, depressive, melancholic melodies that draws my attention and brings me back to this…

Night Motor – Fatal CD (Death Drop Records)
It’s been a while since I introduced a post-punk band like this on these pages, so I am happy to present Night Motor to all of you. Night Motor is an outstanding English post-punk quintet that emanates from Cornwall. Since their inception, the group released series of singles such as Matera, Twitchin’, Strychnine, Take The…
