“Sentimentality & Brute Violence”: Nick Cave ..While many still know Nick Cave best for his work as a musician in groups like The Birthday Party, and especially for albums such as Let Love In and Tender Prey that he produced along with his band The Bad Seeds, Cave has become increasingly more visible in the world of cinema ever since he first started collaborating with filmmaker John Hillcoat on the helmer’s 1988 feature “Ghosts…of the Civil Undead.” That pairing has proved to be a lucrative one, as Cave went on to write the grisly Australian Neo-Western “The Proposition” for Hillcoat to direct, which has ...:: The Playlist ::24 May 2012

Tu Fawning - "A Monument" CD Review (City Sl ..Portland, OR’s Tu Fawning released their sophomore album, A Monument , today on City Slang. This album marks the first release written and recorded collaboratively as a four-piece. This time out, band leaders Corrina Repp and Joe Haege are joined by Liza Reitz (piano, organ, violin, percussion, vocals) and Toussaint Perrault (synth, trumpet, percussion, vocals). The nine tracks on this new disc are layered and musically dense and show the band heading down a dark path similar to some of the early 80’s post-punk, gothic bands (Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Birthday Party). While there are some moments of ...BrooklynRocks: NYC Music Blog18 May 2012

So Many Wizards, "Happy Birthday""Happy Birthday To You" is the most recognized song in the English language. Attempts to dethrone "Happy Birthday To You" range from The Beatles ego-driven oversight "Birthday", which Lennon respectfully called "a piece of garbage", to narrowing the scope down to the small perks of birthdays (see: "Birthday Sex" by Jeremih). Many attempts were made in every language and by various pop and punk performers like The Birthday Party, The Smiths, ...Impose Magazine: Bytes18 May 2012

K-Holes: DismaniaK-Holes Dismania Hardly Art Records [2012] Fire Note Says: K-Holes bring the gritty side of New York City straight to you on their sophomore outing Dismania . Album Review: If there was ever an album that sounded like it was straight out of the New York City streets I believe that the sophomore record from K-Holes could be a front runner. Its sludgy hazed up production fills your speakers with an overwhelming wave of noise while the combo powerhouse vocals of Jack Hines (Black Lips) and Vashti Windish (Golden Triangle) cut through their self-generated barriers. For an album that has a ...The Fire Note8 May 2012

Roll Out Von BarrelThe KVB From: Southampton, United Kingdom If you believe the hysterical doom mongers the end of the world is nigh (again) and not even Indiana Jones can save us this time. Apparently an ancient Mayan chain of stationers forgot to order their 2013 calendar and therefore, obviously, a cataclysmic event will destroy the earth before the end of this year. With the world teetering on the edge of extinction it's hardly surprising that Glum Rock is undergoing a long overdue renaissance.
