  • Video round up: The Hot Soles, Sur Back, Bonetti, The Smösh, Matt & Kim

    Howdy ho! We’ve found a few good videos who could handle the truth and here they are for your perusal and hopefully visual pleasure. Razzle dazzle!

  • A fine day at Aquí No Hubo Escena

    “The woodsie lord knew the foolsie manbeings held gatherings// the folly of the sneaksies n th’ lightnies cometh// for green outlives us in the end.” – Unknown. It’s been a while since I’ve ventured into the dark world of small festivals, so when the opportunity arose to flex out the reviewing muscles again, I moseyed…

  • Review: Game of Thrones – The Wars to Come

    HOLY SHIT, YOU GUYS. This thing is back! I’m back! Sloucher.org is back! The previous paragraph is aligned to the right! Only the audience isn’t back. Sheeeee-it. We lost you all to Furious Seven, which is fine and dandy because you can’t ignore the siren call of The Stat. Anyways, the story so far: -Most…

  • Opinion: Try to forget that nothing lasts forever.

    I heard a song on the radio recently that I thought was by a band called Hope of the States. It wasn’t, I didn’t actually make a note of who the song was by actually, as I was too distracted by my work, and searching for Hope of the States on Spotify. Hope of the…

Oaxaca is the second song from Sheffield band Bonetti‘s first EP, Dos Mescal Para Vamanos, and is an account of some terrible scenes on the roads of South America. Dead families, killed…

  • Aquí no hubo escena, pero sí amigos

    Aquí No Hubo Escena (ANHE) no planeaba llegar a cinco ediciones. Ni siquiera a dos. Si cuando estábamos resanando y decorando la pared del local en Azcapotzalco donde se llevó a cabo la primera edición algún profeta de las calles nos hubiera dicho a Fabro, Vampi, Moy, Chazz y a mí que llegaríamos a trabajar…

  • Review: Modest Mouse – Strangers to ourselves

    Modest Mouse‘s Strangers to Ourselves is their 2015 studio album, the first since 2007, a crazy mix of short and long, humor and weight, fresh lyrics and repetitive rhymes, interesting instruments and textures, and maddening refrains. There were only a few tracks I outright hated here, but more than a few that for one reason…

  • Review: Vast Robot Armies – Little Creatures

    A few years ago, Goodnight Myopia landed on my lap. It was a spacey and overtly catchy one man army effort. It also felt like staggering back home after a particularly bad day: emotions are raw, the sun has gone back to its den far too fast and you are seeing red, almost blinded by…
