Filed under: News , Exclusive flickr When you're listening to your iTunes on shuffle and it kicks out Interpol , the Bravery or She Wants Revenge , you probably have a hard time distinguishing between them, right? We don't mean to beat a 2006-era joke into the ground, but they all do sound kinda the same. Which is quite unlike their spiritual fathers, '70s British post-punkers Joy Division . Now that's a band that still sounds unique to this day. Perhaps that's why Disney has gone so far as to cop Joy Division style for shirts , why there are Joy ...

Même s’ils ont un son bien anglais, c’est de Nantes que le groupe vient. Von Pariahs , c'est six jeunes garçons qui mêlent habilement de nombreuses influences afin de créer leur propre musique. Du punk classique des années 80 au shoegaze des Sonic Youth en passant par le rock garage modern (The Strokes, The Hives…) ils se fraient lentement mais surement un chemin.  Leur dernier titre est assez excitant. Someone New lorgne vers la cold wave et sonne un peu comme She Wants Revenge.  ф  Even if they have a strong English sound, they come From France. Von ...

Also eine iranische Band hatte ich bisher noch nicht in meinem Blog – die Mitglieder von Hypernova wohnen zwar mittlerweile in New York, stammen aber aus dem Iran, was sich jedoch nicht in ihrer Musik niederschlägt, denn diese klingt so westlich wie nur was und erinnert an die Editors oder She Wants Revenge. Die Debüt-EP «Exit strategy» , die vor einigen Monaten erschienen ist und für einen Preis ab 0 € zu haben ist, bietet vier gelungene Songs und sollte bei Freunden des Post-Punks auf offene Ohren stoßen. <a href="http://hypernova.bandcamp.com/album/exit-strategy-ep">Exit ...

Ja, na sowas, schon wieder ein Jahr rum! Mittlerweile althergebrachter Tradition folgend will ich die letzten Tage des gerade zu Ende gehenden Jahres nutzen, um meinen persönlichen musikalischen Jahresrückblick zu geben. Leider war 2011 eher von Enttäuschungen denn von erfreulichen Überraschungen geprägt, so dass meine Charts diesmal mit vergleichsweise lauwarmer Begeisterung von mir begleitet werden. Zu den Bands, deren neuen Werke zum Teil weit unter meinen Erwartungen blieben, gehören: Lower Heaven (nach dem Wahnsinnsdebüt von vor 2 Jahren konnte die Band eigentlich nur scheitern; aber dass es SO krass geschehen würde, war dann doch ernüchternd) Zaza (s.o.) The Joy ...

Generally I’d be more than happy to lie about at home at night becoming less sober and listen to my precious ‘Pod (virtually never on SHUFFLE however), but tonight I am pondering joining you washed un-masses at Club Nokia for Mr. Peter Murphy (with L.A.’s own She Wants Revenge). Y’all are in for an amazing [...]

words & photos by Harriet Roberts Peter Murphy @ Irving Plaza I came to Murphy's concert at Irving Plaza this week with, I think, the right amount the reverence. Murphy's baritone is iconic. He's got half a dozen great singles,...

By Mukisa Williams I’m sure that many people didn’t know how to react when first noticing this name on the 9:30 Club’s list of shows: Peter Murphy. Whether as a member of early ’80s, gloom rock outfit Bauhaus or through his own somewhat haunting brand of pseudo-pop solo work—a deep and prototypical catalog in total, [...]
