  • Cuffs – Factory Sessions

    Cuffs – Factory Sessions

    This band was not familiar to me, but for some reason, I had a strange feeling that I heard their music before. From what I learned about the band in these couple of days, Cuffs are English post-hardcore emanating from Bristol. Since their inception, Cuffs releases several recordings, consisting of singles and extended plays. The…

  • Alpha Hopper – Last Chance Power Drive LP (Swimming Faith / Radical Empathy)

    Alpha Hopper – Last Chance Power Drive LP (Swimming Faith / Radical Empathy)

    This material is, what I truly believe, a second full-length by this Buffalo, NY-based quartet. Despite being fully aware of all the activities surrounding Swimming Faith, this recording somehow went under the radar, but luckily, now I have a chance to write a couple of lines about it. For those who missed my previous reviews…

  • Science Man – Match Game 7″ (Swimming Faith Records)

    Science Man – Match Game 7″ (Swimming Faith Records)

    During the day, John Toohill is a creative individual who performs with the bands such as Alpha Hopper, The Hamiltons, Night Slaves, Spit Kink, The Midnight Vein, Black & White Cat / Black & White Cake, Cobra Cobra, and I probably forgot some other bands he crossed paths with during his musical endeavors. In the…

    Alpha Hopper – Alpha Hex Index LP (Hex Records)

    Alpha Hopper were quiet for a while, but here they are with another banging recording that will knock your socks off. For those who somehow missed my article about their previous album, Alpha Hopper is a fascinating bunch of creative people emanating from Buffalo, New York. Their music defies classifications into a particular genre, mainly…

  • Captain Frederickson – Absolute Disaster

    Captain Frederickson – Absolute Disaster

    Sometimes instead of composing music about serious issues that globally struck upon humankind on a regular basis, musicians feel an urge to record music about hilarious stuff that no one would ever think. Captain Frederickson is one of those groups focusing on the humorous side of life, but still, the group supports charities with their…

  • REAL(s) – D.S.L.B. LP

    REAL(s) – D.S.L.B. LP

    The anarcho-punk movement is pretty much alive and kicking on a worldwide scale. The bands are popping up almost regularly, and most of them are nurturing threatening sound, followed by insurgent lyrics and propaganda. REAL(s) are one of those bands who’re standing against all the injustices in this world. The group applies all the shapes…

  • PONS – Intellect CS

    PONS – Intellect CS

    Intellect is a brand new cassette release by PONS, an experimental rock trio from Burlington, Vermont. The group previously released an impressive amount of recordings such as They Look Like People EP, Being The Prey EP, Halloween Was Years Ago EP, a single named The Flesh, and Dread EP. Therefore, Intellect represents their debut full-length…

  • Coilguns – Watchwinders LP (Hummus Records)

    Coilguns – Watchwinders LP (Hummus Records)

    Coilguns are operating as a complex singular sonic mechanism based on technical harmonizations, chaotic melodic sequences, massive drop-tuned riffages, and mathematically precise drumbeats. These skillful Swiss musicians are hailing from La Chaux De Fonds, and their existence is solely based on firing sonic equations stacked within highly energetic clusters. The band has delivered loads of…

Dim is their latest…

  • Those Fucking Snowflakes – U OK Hun? CD (The Recording Industry Is Dead Records)

    Those Fucking Snowflakes – U OK Hun? CD (The Recording Industry Is Dead Records)

    Those Fucking Snowflakes are one of those bands who are successfully circumventing any categorizations under one appropriate genre, but somehow, their music sounds both chaotical and unifying at the same time. The band was formed in Blackpool, UK last year, but they’ve already acclaimed loads of positive critics from some very important personas in the…

  • Control Top – Covert Contracts LP (Get Better Records)

    Control Top – Covert Contracts LP (Get Better Records)

    Ali Carter, Al Creedon, and Alex Lichtenauer are Control Top, unstoppable artistic machinery from Philadelphia, PA. Their distinguished approaches to sound are shattering all the way around and throughout the entire album called Covert Contracts, which is by the way, their debut full-length. Covert Contracts LP is so challenging to classify into just one circumstantial…

  • Buzz Rodeo – Sports LP (Various Labels)

    Buzz Rodeo – Sports LP (Various Labels)

    I already had a chance and privilege to review ”Victoria” 7” by Buzz Rodeo. Their style is a unique blend of punk, noise, rock and a couple more genres picked up on the way. They perform as a trio and they’re doing it pretty well, assuming by their lastest release called Sports. This art-punk supergroup…
