Valley of Fear, the new project of Justin Broadrick, Matthew Bower, and Samantha Davies, is, in a word, interior. Marrying the brutal anxiety of the Skullflower records of Bower’s past with the distorted echoes of Davies’ Voltigeurs and the industrial fuzz of Broadrick’s Godflesh and Greymachine, Valley of Fear’s debut is an elixir of oil and water that only their universe could hybridize. In “Serpent’s Trail,” the record’s first track, Davies&#...

On Saturday night, the Little Rock, Arkansas doom quartet  Pallbearer  played a sold-out show at Saint Vitus in Brooklyn, going start-to-finish through their excellent recent album  Sorrow and Extinction . They brought extra layers of sludgy, earthy bass and guitar distortion, offering a dynamic contrast to Brett Campbell's high-wire vocals, and were greeted by an unending wave of outstretched arms and devil's horns from the crowd. Nashville death doom quartet Loss followed. Their 2011 album  Despond  featured Campbell's pipes countering Mike Meacham's guttural ...

'Grandma's House' Series 2, Episode 4: 'The Day Simon Was Really Determined To Heal His Grandma's Pain' // Words: Saam Das SYNOPSIS : "Sitcom. Simon gets Grandma to see a therapist about her unresolved grief - and the ensuing kleptomania." (bbc.co.uk) I was somewhat morose, and perhaps even distraught, at the plummeting scale of quality witnessed between episodes two and three of what was otherwise becoming my favourite thing on British television. Thankfully, 'Grandma's House' has just about managed to recover its composure. Maybe I was too hasty to build up this series of 'Grandma's House' . Or ...

The result of musical training that began as young as age 5, CHERRI BOMB serves up an impressive full-length debut on  THIS IS THE END OF CONTROL . Out this week on Hollywood Records, the album shows a band that performs at a level well-beyond their years - something no doubt guided and honed by manager Samantha Maloney (drummer formerly of HOLE, MOTLEY CRUE, PEACHES among others) and the production team of Red Decibel (Adam Watts, Andy Dodd & Gannin Arnold), while brought to a perfect mix by Chris Lord-Alge.

And so begins the first of three posts on the 2012 Great Escape Festival , Europe’s leading festival for new music. Thursday’s proceedings got off to a bit of a damp squib with grey skies and looming wetness, but thankfully as the Great Escape is a multi-venue multi-gig affair located around Brighton centre the weather is not nearly as significant as an outdoor camping festival. No wellies required. Here are the ten most important facts that we learnt during the day. (Disclaimer – facts may actually be opinions) 1. Everyone loves a buzz band The Great Escape being a new ...

"New York speaks in your native tongue" The early 80's Village People movie-musical, Can't Stop the Music , is widely considered one of the campiest b-movies ever made. Sadly, as a connoisseur of this genre, I can't agree. It's boring and overlong. Check out the Apple or Voyage of the Rock Aliens if you want real 80's camp. But even if I don't find the movie that (unintentionally) funny, the opening track is pretty damn joyful. David London's The Sound of the City is an excellent, deliriously upbeat disco-pop number. It's like a ...
