With its signal flare riffs, interlocking rhythms and rumbling, eyes-on-the-stratosphere majesty, "Limbs"-- the lead-off track from D.C. experimental punk trio Imperial China 's third album, How We Connect -- sounds like Mirrored -era Battles covering "Cherub Rock" at a space shuttle launch. Matt Johnson and Brian Porter's dueling guitars spit blowtorch sparks, as Patrick Gough's frantic drumming drives the track's escalating energy. Like any band making punk music in D.C., Imperial China's sound pays subtle respect to its local forbearers; you can hear traces of Fugazi in Porter's hollered vocals ("Think I'll live ...

When Hot Water Music ’s debut, Finding The Rhythms , came out in 1995, it already sounded familiar. On one hand, the Florida quartet drew from Jawbreaker, Leatherface, and other gruff pop-punk bands of the era; on the other, HWM amplified its simple songs with the wiry, post-hardcore dynamics of Fugazi. That formula became a huge influence on the mainstream emo of the ’00s, and with that wave mostly past, a new generation of gritty-yet-catchy punk groups have picked up HWM’s torch. HWM itself, though, hasn’t released an album since 2004’s solid The New What Next . Singer-guitarist Chuck ...

Four Tet and Caribou have unveiled a recession-busting one off show at the Brixton Academy. Times are tough. There's less work to go around, and price rises aren't showing any signs of slowing down.

Four Tet has announced a new two track single set for release on his own label Text. The A-side 'Jupiters' sees the producer head down a more garage tinged route as the track builds and builds whilst 'Ocoras' is more of a dance number which you may have heard Gilles Peterson drop on his BBC radio show last Saturday. Hebden has also announced a special, Fugazi inspired, show at London's Brixton Academy where he'll play a back to back DJ set with Caribou. Tickets are set to priced at a meagre £5 and "loads more" acts are set ...

С новыми силами после недолгого каникулярного перерыва блоггеры ринулись строчить в свои блоги – и понаписали столько, что хватило бы на десяток обзоров. Так что перед вами новый выпуск «Блогоскопа» , дайджеста зарубежных музыкальных блогов. Тема недели Редкий блоггер остался в стороне от случившейся в начале недели презентации компанией Apple своего нового продукта: mp3-плеера / мобильного телефона iPhone: заметками о нём отметилось большинство. Из интересных и выходящих за рамки бессвязных реплик о жадном желании обладания этим «девайсом» (по которым в свойственной ему манере едко проехался Idolator) стоит отметить посты Music For Kids Who Can’t Read Good с подробным обзором технических характеристик iPhone ...

Ian Svenonius was the last musical character of the pre-internet, Washington D.C-Dischord Records era to sneak a seat at the table of legendary front-men, beside Fugazi’s Ian MacKaye and H.R. of Bad Brains. Svenonius’ first band, the Nation of Ulysses, combined the noise and politics of MC5 and Public Enemy in a screaming attack that [...]

Last Fall Chicago-based sextet Umphrey’s McGee put a number of inventive packages up for sale involving once-in-a-lifetime experiences with members of the band in an effort to recoup the costs of making their Death By Stereo LP and raise money for charity. One of these “ Deeper Packages ” was called the “Bill Graham For A Day Package” in which the purchaser would receive a ”private UM concert for you and your friends at an intimate Chicago venue (let’s talk). You collaborate with us on the set list and introduce us from the stage.” This show took place last night ...

” New York Times ”: Surely somebody has noticed that the old 9:30 Club building in Washington, D.C., is soon to be a J. Crew store. Surely someone will claim this is somehow ‘‘ironic,’’ that the club that fostered the all-ages hardcore scene of Minor Threat, Government Issue and Fugazi will soon sell pairs of $140 Café Capri pants in geranium lace. I don’t see the big deal. But I worry about the smell. This was when smoking was allowed, of course. And the club had a notorious rat problem in the back alley, where the bands loaded in ...
