  • We Could Go Far: The Sound
    On the 18th of May of each year, fans from all over the world make a pilgrimage to the pit of Lancashire known as Macclesfield to pay tribute to Ian Curtis. Coming up to the thirty second year since death at his own hand, the passion of fans has only become more fervent whilst the commercialisation of his death has reached its lowest ebb, sneakers, bath-towels, Disney t-shirts, his band's bass player hawking third rate cover versions, that kinda thing. I'll take my life Into my own hands I'm the one that I will blame I'm ...

  • "We Just See Where It Goes..." Q&A WITH EAST ..
    As the name suggests, Manchester's sonic-screechers Easter have undergone re-birth in their longer-at-it-than-you'd-imagine history. They released an EP back in 2009 but before that band leader Thomas Long had been “ writing, jamming and gigging in the city since he was fifteen ”. Yet the current line-up of Easter is a fresh start – or development – of the band’s sound: brooding dark rock, melding pop hooks and post-rock experimentation to fine effect. Joining Long now are drummer Andrew Cheetham, experimental guitarist Danny Saul and bass player Gavin Clarke. On the cusp of the release of debut long-player “Innocence Man”, I ...

  • Violens: Totally True
    Violens’ forthcoming album, True, finds the Brooklyn three-piece blasting us with a wash of 90s sonic pop drawn from artists like Pale Saints, Cocteau Twins and McCarthy. The album’s first single, “Totally True,” celebrates bands like The Chameleons and Martin Newell’s Cleaners From Venus, in its feel. The guitars are clean and jangling, meshing perfectly [...]

  • Prefab Sprout - Steve Mcqueen (1985)
    There was a time in my life when, in retrospect, my love for music had dwindled considerably. Music was no longer the all-consuming passion it had been a few years earlier. I no longer sought out the new, the daring and the ground-breaking. Years of listening to mainstream and going to clubs which were dominated by mainstream sounds had somewhat deadened my appetite and enthusiasm for the sort of music I listened to before the mid eighties, and after 2002. Prefab Sprout epitomise that phase in my life. Marriage loomed, stability beckoned. Somehow I felt as if I had to ...

  • Music Review: Lotus Plaza - Spooky Action At ..
    Lotus Plaza Spooky Action At A Distance [Kranky; 2012] by Art Ivan Rating: Briefly disregarding the weight that judgment and taste bring to bear, it happens that sometimes, in a self-fulfilling postmodernist twist, follow-up albums just don’t conform to the logical, Hegelian, linear conception of development and progress. To put it bluntly, second albums usually suck. But such is most certainly not the case with Spooky Action At A Distance , Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt’s second effort as Lotus Plaza. The new songs display a newfound sophistication in composition, arrangement, and production, with richly layered, textured guitars, and Pundt ...

  • Violens: Brooklyn Shoe Gazers Play Record Re ..
    Violens' forthcoming album, True , finds the Brooklyn three-piece further amplifying their innovative songwriting with a palette of exquisitely crafted sound. The band's music eludes classification, expertly blending percussive guitar work and silky harmonies, seeking the silver lining yet to be discovered between the sounds we know and love. With a wash of 90s sonic pop drawn from artists like Pale Saints, Cocteau Twins and McCarthy, Violens paint soft watercolor notes across their compositions, adding crucial emotional depth via layered vocal harmonies. The album's first single, "Totally True," demonstrates this with its stone-washed, semi-improvised feel, celebrating bands like The ...

  • The Sound - Jeopardy (1980)
    After considerable fruitless searching, someone finally decided to re-release the Sound 's debut album Jeopardy  on CD in 2012. All I can say is, about damn time. This album has been sadly overlooked for most of its existence, even by post-punk fans, and it has taken a while before it has been sort of re-discovered, some time after the follow up album, From the Lion's Mouth . For an album which came out in 1980, the album is remarkably far advanced. Although on first listen you can clearly hear elements of Wire , Magazine or the Gang of Four in the ...

  • Dead Fame - "Frontiers" CD EP Review / Shows ..
    Richmond post-punk band Dead Fame released their debut EP “Frontiers” early this year which shows the band’s sound firmly rooted in the darkly melodic melancholia of bands like Joy Division and The Chameleons. Dead Fame started in 2009 when synthesizer player Christopher DeNitto reunited with former band mate, guitarist KC Byrnes and duo slowly found additional players to give the group a “live band” sound. The group is fleshed out by bassist Sadie Powers, drummer Eric Klemen and singer/lyricist Michael Means. Given that Dead Fame is Eric and Michael’s first band, the group’s debut EP is ...

  • Gang Of Four - Entertainment! (2005)
    I was never really into the Gang of Four . At the time when they first emerged on the music scene, or recently when I finally succumbed and bought this album. In fact, I only bought this album because I had forgotten how much I was not into the Gang of Four when they first came out. Indeed, buying this album only served to confirm that feeling I have held since I first encountered the band's music, listening to Richard Skinner and John Peel on Radio One late in the evening when those damn essays were due in at University ...

  • In The Club
    The Slow Readers Club From: Manchester, United Kingdom The Slow Readers Club sound exactly like you'd expect a band from Manchester to sound if you stopped listening to music in the mid 1980s. It's dark, powerful old school indie music that owes more to The Chameleons and Joy Division than madchester. It's honest music without any unnecessary embellishments made for stadiums. It may not be new, it may not be original but when indie music is done this well with such heart and commitment there's nothing to touch it. It's time you caught up with ...

  • Comsat Angels - Seven Day Weekend (1985)
    I find this very difficult to discuss, principally because I find it very difficult to listen to. The Comsat Angels were, in their heyday, one of the leading post punk bands to come out of Britain but they were also probably the biggest under-achievers in that regard. The reasons for that are not entirely their fault but it would be many years before the band produced an album which they felt they could be genuinely proud of. And by that time, the world had moved on and post-punk was no longer in the ascendant as it had been. Because of ...

  • THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A SATURDAY SINGLE....IF ..
    From wiki:- Bill Drummond was born in Butterworth, South Africa, where his father was a minister for the Church of Scotland. His family moved back to Scotland when he was 18 months old, and his early years were spent in the town of Newton Stewart, moving on to Corby in Northamptonshire at the age of 11. It was here he first became involved in performing as a musician working initially with school friends including Gary Carson and Chris Ward. He attended Northampton and Liverpool Schools of Art from 1970 to 1973. Following this, he decided that "art should use everything ...
