One of the craziest percussive noise acts to have assaulted our senses would have to be LA's Foot Village . Their batshit manic mantras have divided audiences wider than the Red Sea (see that? Total Biblical reference!!) with some proclaiming their noisy rackets as compulsory listening, and others deeming it more inhumane than water torture. My verdict? Foot Village rock all kinds of balls. So when one of their members Brian Miller ventures out on his own, under the moniker True Neutral (I'm guessing in reference to RPGs), then I'm all over it like a venereal rash. Miller ...

Exciting times. Sick puppies Bitches have released an EP called Buster , about a dog called Buster. For realz. Through Gravy Records , Buster plugs five songs up the Kyber Pass with enough sleazy backhanded zeal that you feel offended, endeared and filled with lust, all at once. Arrogance only get you so far though. This duo are as fun as they are sleazy, which is the best combination in anyone's language. They even get batshit crazy band Foot Village involved in one of their breakneck rants - nice work. Plus, its about dogs instead of cats for once. Dogs are so ...

Books on tape need soundtracks. If more audiobooks had featured marvelous, moving scores, then Kindles would never have started outselling walkmans. Brian Miller (Foot Village, Back to the Future The Ride) gets my drift. His latest solo project, True Neutral, finds Miller in more song-y territory and scoring a new audiobook to be released via his own Deathbomb Arc Records. The audiobook is for the latest novel by absurdist writer Patrick Wensink, entitled Broken Piano for President , which is out now from bizarro publisher Lazy Fascist Press. The story involves a “noise band that gets caught up in a conspiracy ...

Total fucking psycho-fuck record label Deathbomb Arc are entering double digits as they celebrate their 10th anniversary this year. “That’s pretty cool, I guess,” you say. You bet your shriveled dick that it’s fucking cool, you nonchalant ass-hat! And to do this anniversary right, they’ve launched a brand new website that now features their full discography of elaborate madness, and they’ve released the first installment of a free compilation series that will update throughout 2012. So drop that on your tongue and trip out on it. According to the press release, the anniversary compilation series, DBA100 ...

We have no information on what this teaser video is teasing us about, but we're gonna go ahead and assume it's for a new release, or the soundtrack to the apocalypse. Either way, it's going to be amazing.

Lana del Rey/Lizzy Grant/whoever she's choosing to be contemporarily, the artificial product of anti-inspiration, may well be shuffling about, spluttering, and muttering calculatedly and choreographically if awkwardly in front of regurgitated Tumblr GIFs a few hundred metres down the road, yet exceedingly more cataclysmic furore is to unravel tonight up towards the anything but heavenly Angel, à la upstairs at The Lexington. More twisted and crazed than the minds of del Rey's coldblooded label dictators are Gentle Friendly , who trash out an almost constant, unabating stream of song entangled in the frenzied incoherencies of Deerhoof, underpinning ...

Foot Village calls it "My favorite vocals I've heard in years. True soul." The Food Channel gave it five thumbs. Dick Van Dyke vows it's added a spring to his step and years to his life. In all seriousness tik///tik's "Asero" is two-minutes of hollering' joy and it's right here for you, free of charge. tik///tik, "Asero" The track appears on a c-30 spill with Salt Swan, out on Tangled Hares/Entropic Tarot.

Tonight's a fairly special night for Calgary's BRAIDS , as it marks the remarkable quartet's final headline show in support of their truly spectacular debut record, Native Speaker. If this already sounds all too gushing, bear with me, for it was equally special merely to have crammed into Cowper Street's prime subterraneous haunt, XOYO. Prior to their deservedly heaving, hot as heck headline show, Secretly Canadian signings Exitmusic  warm things up nicely, not that an increase in temperature within a room already at Amazonian humidity is altogether desired nor necessary... With the venue's stage recently reconfigured ...

Deathbomb Arc has decided to totally embrace the future of music (Mp3’s, who woulda guessed?) and, spurred on by the success of last year’s digital singles club , have announced early information and subscription details for year 2. Year Two starts promptly on the first-ever Monday of 2012 and keeps on deathbombing you with digital singles until the exact last moment of the year; subscribers can expect to receive “at least 2 previously unreleased tracks every other week (plus bonus weeks!)” all at the stupidly low price of only 10 american dollhairs! So, if you’re one of those ...

Beeeeeeeeee-lieve in Noise     Over the past few months AIDS Wolf’s wonderful publicist (Foot Village and  Deathbombarc ‘s Brian Miller) has been drip feeding me information, videos and MP3s regarding the band’s forthcoming release  Ma vie banale avant-garde . The album will be the band’s fourth full-length and their first double album, out October 4 via Lovepump United. So far all indications suggest that  Ma vie banale avant-garde  is a leap back to the more brutal days of  Cities of Glass  (2008) and  Pas Rapport  (2009), before the band adopted a more melodic sound on  March to the Sea ...
