Robedoor have shared yet another gorgeous track from their forthcoming album ‘Primal Sphere’. Much as with the new Wolf Eyes album that just came out, Robedoor are taking some 70s no-wave cues this time around, harnessing their unique deep noise sound into something more song oriented. Grunge2 indeed. Can’t wait for this album to come out, sounding so good! (via Impose)
Btw, Robedoor will also be contributing to our digital singles series this year.
Primal indeed!
Had a fucking belting good time at Trapped Under Ice last night. So fucking pumped after it I must’ve cycled home in half the time I normally do. Not a duff band on the bill, was good to see Broken Teeth again who seem to have come along A LOT since last I saw them (fuck me, why do websites like Louder Than War go on about fucking Stone Roses & Oasis all the time when they could be going on about Broken Teeth), a couple of local abnds & another from the US.
Think at one point we had 15 guys / gals two step moshing AT THE SAME TIME! I know, in a venue the size of the Fleece! Normally you’d need at least the size of a football pitch for 15 people to two step mosh & it not to end up with blood everywhere!
Such a huge bummer TUI are taking a time out. Way gutted. We may be in the midst of the best year for album releases this century but other music news is just one long litany of shit followed by arse followed by wank followed by bolloacks (sic). Not cool.
In further Pig Destroyer news here’s a video for the band’s song, “Eve,” from Book Burner. It’s unofficial but comes with the band and label’s blessing. Check it out here.
Punknews.org does have it’s uses. It tipped me off about this frinstance - three Pig Destroyer tracks that were on an exclusive flexi disc given away a while back.
The songs are “Trojan Whore,” “Sheet Metal Girl,” and “The Bug.”
The post on Soundcloud is tagged purely & simple (& damn well accurately) as “extremely extreme”.
The remarkable Jad Fair, long time mate of the equally (perhaps more so) remarkable Daniel Johnston has a new band, ergo he has new shizzle fur us tuh listen too tuh boot. As it says about the pair on Last.fm…
…this pairing of these two musical savants is a successful foray into pop music as therapy. The songs tend to be about simple pleasure, and the instrumentation is sparse.
Anyway, Jad’s now in a band called The Whistling Joy Jumpers, a band that features Jad Fair himself (also of Half Japanese), Thollem McDonas (Tsigoti, Hand To Man Band), and Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and they’ve come together to make an improvised album of simple, playful, joyful tunes.
It’s a bit messy but very beautiful and if you like the above you should hang a browse to THIS URL where you can ecouté to the whole fecking album.
Motherfucking GO GO GO….
DEATH BY MILKFLOAT John Peel 9th August 1987.
When I was ‘umble student studying the physics in Hull these guys were our local noisy band inspired by the likes of The Minutemen, Big Black & the whole of the UK “Death to Trad Rock” scene.
They were the band who travelled to London to see Firehose when me & my mates travelled to Nottingham to see them. Watt & mates blew out the Nottingham show in the end. DBM never let us forget.
They were also the band who, shortly after this session had to change their name to just “Milkfloat” after, you guessed it, some lad got mown down by a Milkfloat.
They were also fucking ace as this session testifies. So sad they could never replicate their phenomenal live sets on record but there ye go.
Just got the new album by Owen.
So different but so the same.
So complex but so simple.
Been offered a possible interview op. Should prob get on it really.

Diggin’.
I wrote about “monster prog quartet” ANTA for Louder Than War a while back. Band have a new album scheduled for release devilishly soon & have touched a load of their mates for remixes of the five tracks on it, the first couple of which fell into our laps today.
Like the best of remixes they’re totally different to the originals. Indeed, they’re as differecnt to the originals as they are from each other too which is equally great. First up is an in yo face breakcore mangling of the track Dolmen by Ladyscraper, all mighty blips & percussivenesses & the like, second is a more languid remix of Cenotaphium II by Mr Underwood.
Both good a worth a moment of your earsies time.
“The Mayans didn’t know anything, whereas Hebosagil knows when the hour comes, when it’s time for Lähtö, and their manner of exiting is big, loud, penetrating, and hard to the core. From the fallout, the radiometers are detecting remnant radiation from Slayer and Melvins, while the cockroaches may still recognise the brutal beat of Radiopuhelimet and Unsane.”
Loving this!
“‘Bound’ is the latest captivating track to emerge from rising Nottingham singer-songwriter Indiana, following her hotly-tipped debut single ‘Blind As I Am’ and hauntingly personal rendition of Frank Ocean’s ‘Swim Good’”
V much in vogue atm, chances are yer gunna hear a lot more of Indiana.
Wasn’t that into this at first but hec is it growing on me. It’s off Sister Faith, the fourth album by Coliseum.
“It’s faster, more energetic and is written to be played how we play live!”
“Very few bands make even one great album. Silkworm made several, and this is the first.” - Steve Albini
Biiig wurdz from ole Blinky.
