Review: Cleft – Wrong
Cleft are done. Wrong is their last album, a swan song full of maniacal riffs and brutal drumming. A gut punch, not a sucker punch. This album faces the doom of a band and gladly accepts it. Why cower when the end is in front of you? You could argue that this album would…

Assignment #23: The Inner City Festival.
It always happens: the days after both semester and my contract ends, all traces of energy leave me. Is it an excess of adrenaline from the semester finally taking its toll?

It’s a sunny day in San Francisco. The humidity makes this heat a thousand times less tolerable. I can see Sausalito from this low lit attic and I wonder: has it really been three years?

Now, a good six years gone, and Little Windows Cut Right Through arrives. Now, that fidgety punch, dramatic in its nature,…

Stream: Lull – Nouvelle
The term shoegaze is too freely used these days. A sort of catch-all box formerly known as “indie” and “alternative”. Then again, for London’s own Lull, the genre does fit, but it’s only part of the outfit. The rest of the dashing clothes include a vest weaved with a harsher colour of dream pop, where the harmonic arrangements envelop a…

The frantic trio of Dead English Gentlemen were on the rise, back into the game with a brand new video for a their single, ‘Buried on Muscle Beach’. And they paid the…
