Review: Soulchart, What The Blood Revealed, Naisian and Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster
A heavy, heavy night. The public waxed and waned, the songs between a bad Metallica album and Rage Against The Machine. Minor nitpicks to a solid offering that four bands well versed on their skills offered. (more…)
Looking back at… Thrice – The Alchemist Index (Vol. 1 – 4)
It’s always mind-blowing when a band you sort of tagged and bagged into a particular shelf in your genre cupboard (TM) becomes self-aware and evolves. Thrice is one of those cases: pigeonholed in the post-hardcore/screamo box, they pulled the rug for a lot of people in 2007 and 2008 with their quadruple EP (sold in two instalments of CDs or as a supersweet vinyl collectible) The Alchemy Index.
The premise : the four elements. The sound: varied. Thrice showed their musical talent by tackling a particular genre in each EP, and by golly’s stinky sneakers, they nailed it each time.
So, in celebration that the postman finally delivered a copy of their new album Major/Minor , we decided to do this collaborative post. The writers will be Chris Anderson, guitarist/singer/composer for Firesuite (check ‘em), Tonan and Sam.
Me? I didn’t get any EPs but I got the cookies. Booyah. It pays to be a cow.

Wake up to…Bleaklow
Bleaklow is a post rock trio hailing from various cities (Sheffield, Manchester, Brighton) and have been together since 2008, usually rocking the instrumental side of the musical spectre.
With new material coming up on the horizon, this post rock has courteously decided to offer a tantalising song as a taste of things to come. Heck, you can get more stuff at their bandcamp, if it sounds like something you’d enjoy. Download away.
