Constructing upon the critical acclaim garnered by previous long-player Teen Dream may be one thing – and one that Bloom  achieves with the unhurried ease of their finest output itself – although the Baltimore pairing comprising Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally have vocally established their intent to mature; to continue to mould that woozy signature sound. Like the barely legible yet perfectly smooth and somehow utterly beautiful scribble of a slowly fossilising being in the red-eyed throes of a mildly berserk hallucination, the very sound of Beach House  has become an inimitable entity and one that engenders an instant affection for and ...

A Giant Dog released their debut full-length album earlier this year via Tic Tac Totally. It is the shit. One of my favorite records of 2012. It plays like the soundtrack to a fist fight. At a party. While there's a whole lot of shakin' going on.  Formed in 2008, the band consists of  lead singer Sabrina Ellis (who also fronts the band Bobby Jealousy), drummer Orville Neeley (OBN IIIs, Bad Sports, James Arthur's Manhunt), bassist Graham Low and vocalist/guitarist Andrew Cashen, who also play in OBN IIIs, and second guitar player Andy Bauer. A Giant Dog ...

Every one has been on pins and needles, waiting for the latest, newest Best Coast song to see how she has evolved as a musician, songwriter, and personal brand. It seems like she is really trying to go 'next lev' on this album cycle, releasing a clothing line and probably getting more famous people to be in her videos so they have an MTV-tween cross over appeal. This is her new song "The Only Place." It sorta sounds like 'cleaned up' Best Coast , except she is still singing about the beach, having fun, and California. We get it, Bethers, the ...

Sitting down cross legged at a gig is really weird, especially in a pub. I know there are those experimental gigs in warehouses where sitting crossed legged down is a pre-requisite, but why sit on beer soaked carpet? Regardless, I like hanging out with people who like to chill, and I can try to chill, at least in my own gangly way. So I go to the bar and pour water for myself in a small little cup and sit down with most of the crowd before my leg falls asleep and nearly kills me via pins and needles. read ...

We are all very excited to see David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo when it hits theaters on December 21. Other than the movie, the only other piece missing is the score from the movie itself. Heavy anticipation has been built up towards the soundtrack that will be provided by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. With an amazing 39 songs in place, the opener featuring Karen O in a Led Zeppelin cover of “Immigrant Song,” UTG is waiting on pins and needles for the release to hit shelves. This incredible cover can be heard right here on ...

I have to thank the 2000 Trees team for my introduction to Oxygen Thief , one Mr Barry Dolan, on their ‘get excited now’ pre-festival playlists. In a mix with the other Greenhouse Stage (read folk) acts, his track was a metaphorical kick in the ears that had me bounding over to my computer to see who had so surprised me. Often tagged ‘folk-punk’ for the political nature of his songs, Oxygen Thief is definitely dialled up on the punk and certainly not just another man and his acoustic guitar. I have never heard anyone make so much noise on six ...

As I noted when I first posted news of IMAGINARY MONSTERS, the new EP from THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE - their 2010 full-length PINS & NEEDLES has not left my playlist since it's release almost a year ago. Rated a 4 in my official review , I should've given in a flat 5 - as it's staying power has been immense. As more artists revisit the EP format to bridge gaps between albums, the prospect of new music from TBM quickly became an object of anticipation here at Kik Axe Music™ HQ.   Released this week through Metropolis Records, 'MONSTERS boasts three new ...

PINS & NEEDLES , the last full-length by THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE has not left my playlist since it's release almost a year ago. Rated a 4 in my official review , I should've given in a flat 5 - as it's staying power has been immense. As the Fall Season is fast approaching, news of a new release from TBM has been swirling around these parts, and today it's official: On August 9th, Metropolis Records will release the IMAGINARY MONSTERS EP. Boasting three all-new tracks, five remixes, and the In the Dark music video, it's safe to say that ...

In the first of a series of tributes, frontman of Melbourne punk band Yidcore BRAM PRESSER spews his last goodbyes to Melbourne’s The Arthouse, which will soon shut its doors after 20 years of operation. God knows how many times I found myself bent over the toilet bowl, thrusting my leg out behind me to keep that shitty door from swinging open, while I puked my guts out. More often than not it was speckled with chunks of potato and tinged radioactive red courtesy of the cheap curry joint across the road. Performance bulimia was a pre-show ritual, borne ...
