• Review: The Eastern Sea – The Witness

    2014, SXSW. Somewhere near the middle of The Eastern Sea’s set at a BBQ joint, after ‘Boy in blue’ ends and ‘Young nones’ begins, I realise this is one of those gigs I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Not only it’s the last show I’ll see in Austin in this little trip of…

  • VIdeo: Urss bajo el árbol – Profecía

    ‘Profecía’, the brand new single (and video!) from Mexico’s Urss bajo el árbol juxtaposes the eclectic nature of the band’s experimental sound with the frozen in time landscapes of Cuba, where cars of yore still co-exist with the hustle and bustle of modern life. Check it out.

  • The one that took a queue from Molly Anna’s Ghosts EP.

      See how the lights shine on their faces. A lamp betwixt, the barbarians revelling. “Give me the gun” I said, taking it from his old, stubborn hands. She was unaware. The danger spiralled as the noise intensified. She, her bandanna crowning her petite figure. A thousand armed monster almost obliterated her frailty, it was…

  • Stream: Loam – A Room

      The dark echoes of disembodied voices and droning post punk arrangements seep through the ruins of old industrial estates. It’s the darkest point at night and although it should be unnerving, there’s a strange emotion seeping through. The rhythmic waves soothe as they cyclically make their way through the rarefied atmosphere. Wet silt mixed…

  • Premiere: Acidolandia

    We are overjoyed to bring you an exclusive stream of Acidandali‘s brand new EP, Acidolandia. The soundtrack to an imaginary lost film finds the Mexican trio deep into found sound territory, where the loud squeals, unnerving cracks and fuzzy shouts of a thousand lucid dreams intertwine to bring 5 tracks pulled from the rarefied ether that surrounds a…

  • The Great Promo Hunt – Best of 2015

    2015. We wave goodbye to this year and just like any other before (and after), there were high and lows. This Shithole of a Website (TM) was supposed to close and we are still here, wondering what it all means and when is it really time to call it quits. It’ll be a whimper, not…

  • 20 bandas, otro año: los pronósticos del colectivo Aquí No Hubo Escena (ANHE)

    20 bandas, otro año Pronósticos del colectivo Aquí No Hubo Escena (ANHE)   Texto: Aquí No Hubo Escena Fotos: Facebook de cada banda Este no es un recuento de fin de año (esperamos se den cuenta con el título que trata sobre el 2016). Tampoco una lista cien por ciento segura de que los grupos mencionados…

  • Stream : Elephant Stone – The Devil’s Shelter

    Elephant Stone, which we covered last year with a nifty Tom Petty cover, are back with a new song, ‘The Devil’s Shelter’. Alex Maas from The Black Angels guest stars in ‘The Devil’s Shelter’, a song that oozes the remnant psychedelic vibes of Strawberry Alarm Clock, still haunting a ruined cathedral in the infamous Hashbury…

  • Review: The Scaramanga Six – The Terrifying Dream

    What’s the most horrific dream you’ve had? I could think of several, having written down several of them over the years. One that always stuck with me was of green hued shapes walking everywhere, imitating what people did. Like human echoes. I do not know what The Scaramanga Six consider a terrifying dream. However, I do know…

  • Video: Car Crash Sisters – All my friends live underwater

    Because New Jersey ain’t the whole world, like Mark Kozelek said, and because Mexico City definitely isn’t Mexico (that’s what my grampa used to say), we’d like to introduce you to a lovely band from the fine city of Aguascalientes called Car Crash Sisters.  Part Amusement Parks on Fire, part Cocteau Twins and mostly themselves, Car Crash Sisters gaze into a singularity…
