We like the number 2… Paris’ Crash Normal are somewhere between garage-punk and electro trash. They are a duo. These guys drop the sound of rusty nails and hit the audience like rain. Echos and reverbs fight, the drum machine gets killed by the fuzz pedal. Low frequencies slither around you like a snake. No [...]

Yves/Son/Ace is the solo project of Matthew Ford (Factums, Love Tan, Evening Meetings). He makes apocalyptic pop music with fuzzy, gnarled, overblown, and mangled instruments. Noises range from guitars and pianos to hammers and mallets. Industrial garage pop… or something. 6-song 7″ EP with high-quality jackets, black sleeves, and some tits. Highly recommend.

Hailing from Sweden, Branko bring us a brand new slab of wax with 8 tracks of instrumental surf/african/garage rock a la Link Wray on a 33RPM 7″. The 7″ includes a digital download card for an additional 9 tracks that are not on the 7″ and are equally impressive (17 tracks in total). Branko play [...]

German Army is a side project of Paul Kneejie (The Pope, Submissions, Bipolar Bear) and Greg Toumassian. German Army is an experiment in ambient and atmospheric jungle minmal music. It’s dark, rhythmic, druggy, and enchanting. Recommended if you like Factums, The Dreams, etc. Check out their video of “Pulling Lashes” on the home page. This [...]

The Dreams (members of Le Grande Tripple The Feeling of Love, etc.) are two-piece jungle/tropicalia/reggae/glue wave band from France that play a spaced out, psychedelic mix of dub, reggae, post-punk, and French garage rock. It’s impossible to pin down or classify, but you’ll dance like your inner-stoner was set free into a tropical tiki party [...]

Submissions is the recording project of two LA mainstays, Bobb Bruno (Goliath Bird Eater, Best Coast) and Paul Kneejie (The Pope, Bipolar Bear, Hiking). Drawing heavily on early industrial and Godflesh influence, Submissions bring back the rumble and doom that has been gone for so long. This is an extremely limited cd that will only [...]

Born in a Metz’s bunker during the 2006 summer, The Feeling of Love is at first the solo project of G.Marietta (A.H. Kraken’s guitarist and singer, In the red records). Ephemeral idea that initially couldn’t have gone further than a few short songs, belched and recorded for the tape label Luisance Sonore. The postulate was [...]

Paris, France’s Cheveu’s newest release “1000″ shows a much more polished and slicker sound than their previous releases, portraying the bands growth and adventurous, other-worldly style. That’s not to say it doesn’t sound like a Cheveu album, which is usually pretty damned difficult to pinpoint anyhow. Expect a whole new foray of sounds that include [...]

A preview CD of the new Night Control album, “Tyranny”. These CD’s are professionally burned with hand-assembled, professionally printed jackets and eco-packaging and they look amazing! This CD was made in SUPER limited quantities and will only be available for a short time. It’s got a great 17-minute epic jam on there that is just [...]

It’s not often that one comes across a band as original and experienced as Movie Star Junkies. Kill Shaman have been fans of the band since we first heard early releases on AVANT! and their split with fellow KS band, The Feeling of Love. Mixing some sort of Italian spaghetti western aesthetic with goth, post-punk, [...]
