Rarely does an unsolicited email even raise an eyebrow but No Accent and Pick A Line really knocked us over. Expertly tight catchy drumming, cold as ice monotone pitch perfect post-punk vocals and a rhythm section that would make James Brown mush-mouthier with jealousy. Sorta sounds like “Mesh & Lace” MODERN ENGLISH playing CRISIS covers […]

“After appearing on the scene in 2009, London’s O.Children have used their time well. As attentions have been grabbed and appetites whetted, they kept themselves busy in the studio coming up with something special. This autumn sees one of the most highly anticipated albums released on Deadly People, ‘O.Children’. The album is extraordinary, thunderous, epic […]
“O. Children are set to release their new album 'Apnea' through Deadly People on May 28th. Plenty of things can cause delays. Some bands take time off. Others get trapped in red tape. For O. Children, though, the reason behind their lengthy spell on the sidelines was much more serious. Attending a party in Manchester two years […]
“Teletexto es un dúo de noise rock con matices punk, hardcore, stoner o grunge, a mitad de camino entre Sonic Youth, Black Flag y Fugazi, que resulta difícil de encajar porque salta de estilo en estilo continuamente, sin ligarse a ningún género, moda o movimiento. Sus dos componentes pusieron en marcha el proyecto en enero […]
We are very excited to announce what is our FIRST co-release: Debut 7″ by Antiguo Régimen from Valencia. 3 Pop / New wave / Post punk songs with influences from bands like The Wake, The Sound, Chameleons or spanish Décima Víctima. "Lyrical references to concepts, movements, theories, slogans and other post punk classics are inevitable, as with titles like La Formación De La Sombra (The Forming Of […]
Nasoni-Records are proud to present four new christmas songs by Germanys finest psychedelic acid rock band The Vibravoid. Enyoy your sonic ride, taste the colour of fuzz and blow your mind with the sound now! The Vibravoid plays songs of love and praise…. a silent voice of protest – a gospel music to stone the […]
“We have here the Japanese version of the debut from Dusseldorf PSYCHEDELIC FREAK-POP band, rooted and inspired by the BARRET type Floydish psych-pop and other Freak-pop from the late 60′s. PSYCHEDELIC, HYPNOTIC pop. Comes with Japanese OBI.”
The Summer is rapidly speeding by. Likewise, the synth wave resurgence is gaining ever more momentum. June saw Dark Entries release two fading images of the past, the American twosome of Jeff & Jane Hudson alongside Swiss new wave outfit Starter. Starter came together in 1980, inspired by the new wave sounds beginning to arrive across the Alps. Originally Stephen […]
LA FORME LENTE, created in 2007, is an independent French/Belgian label who aims at supporting New/Cold-Wave, Post-Punk, Synth-Pop, EBM, Italo-space-disco, Newbeat, Synth-Minimal and Electronic-influenced artists.
UV PØP es una banda que nació a principios de los años ochenta en Sheffiel,Inglaterra. Desde 1986 no se sabía nada de ella, pero ahora, después de mucho tiempo, el sello Sacred Bones quiere rescatar a este grupo caracterizado por escribir canciones sobre la política, la guerra y los problemas sociales que sufrió el Reino Unido durante muchos años […]
The Soft Moon was never intended for the public’s ears, but you found it, were drawn in by its danger, and insisted that others hear. Oakland’s Luis Vasquez began the project in order to better know his own self. He’d holed up in his apartment and let the tape roll, allowing gut and memory guide […]
The result of letting kids listen to Wire and the Fall are the Neat. A rollicking taut song which captures the best of those two influences, "In Youth is Pleasure," bounces around your head. The guitars dialogue back and forth with feedback and the drums battle it out with a machine. The video captures a […]
About halfway through Exploding Head you really start to forget why A Place to Bury Strangers sounded so exciting on their self-titled debut two years ago. Not exactly what one wants to hear when talking about an anticipated sophomore release, especially one with a title that promises to literally split your fucking wig, or at very least […]
Recording as The Soft Moon, one-man band Luis Vasquez seems a lonely wanderer trailed by his inner demons. The compositions that fill his self-titled, debut full-length are wrought with tenseness underscored by romance. Goth underpinnings meet psychedelic expanses, playing out in tortured splendor. Vasquez was raised in the Mojave desert and the environment of his […]
There’s no denying that A Place to Bury Strangers‘ Oliver Ackermann knows his way around an effects pedal; pretty much every review of the New York noise-rock trio becomes a de facto advertisement for his guitar-gadgets company, Death by Audio. But three albums in, Ackermann is still learning his way around a pop song: Where 2009′s Exploding Head found […]
Sean Ragon has been active in the DIY punk, industrial and experimental music communities on the east coast for over 15 years while also running a record store and label in Brooklyn (Heaven Street and Blind Prophet Records, respectively). He has been recording under the moniker of Cult of Youth for the last five years. […]
A Place To Bury Strangers have often been called “the loudest band in New York”. This may very well be the case, but unlike much so-called “loud” rock and roll that’s out there, APTBS is not loud simply for the sake of it. The sonically overdriven sound they’ve accomplished is no clumsy accident, but a […]
Night Sins is a really awesome darkwave/punk band out of Philadelphia. They are made up of members of Salvation, Mother of Mercy, and Nothing. The band plays awesome dark tunes. Just enough synth with a driving bass and drums. Perfect guitar layers and vocals add to a great overall mood. I get an awesome 80′s […]
The Skull Defekts is a two-headed beast from Sweden. One for hypnotic rock and one for experimental electronics. The band has been compared to Can, Wolf Eyes, Wire, Shellac and beyond.
Austin four-piece The Black Angels have been at the forefront of the neo-psychedelia movement for the best part of a decade. Having initially gained widespread attention courtesy of debut release ‘Black Grease’ being included on Northern Star Records’ initial Psychedelica compilation in 2006, they’ve steadily built a reputation as leaders of a scene many argue wouldn’t exist were it […]
Sweden's Skull Defekts and their latest, The Temple, are kind of awful in spite of themselves. Though the sonic referents — The Velvet Underground's rhythmic hypnosis, The (International) Noise Conspiracy's swaggering psycho-come-ons, and Touch and Go noise rock — as well as their thematic premise — "intense, monotonous, rhythmic and sexual out rock" — are both awesome, […]
It's always much easier to write about bad music than about good one. And in this case I faced extremely hard task. I must confess, I don't like 10/10 grade, because it means that the work which got it is a kind of musthave which determines and develops the music itself. Especially it's a very […]
Wilderness Heart, the new album by Black Mountain, is packed with succinct rock songs that pulse and pound with startling precision: it pummels you and you ask for more. This is arguably the band’s tightest, most concentrated venture, but there’s still plenty of raw rock energy at work. “It’s our most metal and most folk […]
Born out of the wreckage of the REATARDS and the rubble of the short-lived CLEARS, Memphis's LOST SOUNDS began in March 1999 in an orange 70's kitchen with an oversized space-aged 50's refrigerator. They were a 3-piece made up of Rich Crook on drums, Jay Reatard on synth, guitar and vocals, and Alicja Trout also […]
Shortly after their “Excessive” 7″ release all you lucky beer drinkers can fill up your horns & pogo the shit outta your mind to the new 10-Hit-Slab'o'Modern Pets. By the way here is no place for certain band recommendations anymore. Now MODERN PETS is the reference. This 2nd full-length mainly recorded by Bretzel Göring, mixed […]
The new Italian bomb-shell, hailing from Milan Dance For Burgess make noisy psychedelic post-punk with shoegaze influences, their 2010 album “SSA” on Mashhh records is a must listen.
A few years back, Minimal Wave offered some choice crate digging collections of nearly forgotten darkwave and post-punk electronics through their Lost Tapes and Found Tapes collections, highlighting the differences between the European and American models of underground new wave. Dark Entries produced this anthology in that same tradition, focusing even more tightly on the […]
