    KEN Mode Released New Single “The Shrike”

    Released in September of last year, KEN mode’s eighth album, NULL, was inspired by the bleakest days of the COVID-19 pandemic and saw the band create some of the rawest, harshest material of its career. The album also marked the official debut of KEN mode’s newest member; multi-instrumentalist Kathryn Kerr joined the lineup of guitarist/vocalist Jesse Matthewson, his brother Shane Matthewson on drums, and…

  • Tunic Released Video For “Whispering”

    Tunic Released Video For “Whispering”

    A 2021 review from Decibel Magazine described Tunic’s sophomore effort, Quitter, as “hurtling forward, AmRep style.” Of that same album, Invisible Oranges stated, “everything sounds like it’s teetering on the edge of collapse.” Indeed, Quitter was a herky-jerky assault of pummeling drums, distorted bass, discordant guitar, and wild-eyed vocals that put the Winnipeg band on…

    Newly formed Post Hardcore/Noise-Punk outfit, FAKE HANDS, have just released their first single, “Coming Through”. The song is a blistering rock track that blends the hard hitting 90s sound with the gritty no-frills instrumentation of 80s punk. Formed in Seattle by guitarist Aaron Lee Wison, FAKE HANDS was born from a desire to make unapologetically…

    Girls In Synthesis – Konsumrausch 12″ EP (Hound Gawd! Records)

    I am starting the week with another excellent release from Hound Gawd! Records. If you aren’t familiar with this German record label, I highly advise you to check out their roster.

  • 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)

    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…

    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…
