The pleasure of finding and listening to such ungodly sounds at this holy hour, its so fucking satisfying. Heroin Diet are a punk band from Manchester, fast 2 minute blasts with reverb vocals, very much in the vein as the recent new wave of punk upstarts like those Danish brats, Iceage. Heroin Diet are somewhat newly formed and I've just discovered that I've missed their show last night at Wharf Chambers. Bummer. [Iceage - New Brigade] I wanted to buy their cd, but they currently only have their demo in tape format. I like tapes, the problem is I no [...]

It's valentine's day, that special day where single people are bitter and wish they were in relationships and people in relationships wish they were single... oh and something about Al Capone killing a bunch of people on a boat or something. Here's a little vday mix for all you punk hearts out there, because I'm your valentine.

"Of course, Neverlands vary a good deal" -J. M. Barrie as quoted by Alan Moore in Lost Girls . Recently, Arthur Von Nagel, via Facebook, linked me to an article on the Metal Pigeon blog about top 10 lists and, among other things, power metal. It's a flawed read, but a critical one. Pigeon takes the blogosphere to task for ignoring genres which receive less critical attention: classic metal and power metal. My associate Mr. Street-Jammer has also returned the importance of power metal to my attention. Though the genre rarely grabs [...]

It's a path that occurs way too often in pop. A promising young artist gets noticed for their idiosyncratic take on pop and then proceeds to be stripped of each interesting trait until nothing but a sanitised blandness remains. Back in 2009, Anita Blay aka CocknBullKid impressed with a series of singles ('I'm Not Sorry', 'Boys And Girls', 'There's A Mother In Our Bed'). Then last year's debut album Adulthood was released and followed the above law. It was... a bit crap.So another album leaked last week called Adolescence that features those early [...]

Cocknbullkid was going to release her early demos/songs as a package titled Adolescence next year but due to a leak and the festivities of Christmas and New Year, she decided to give it all away for free. If you're as big as a fan of Anita Blay's take on pop as I am you've probably heard most of these tracks already, but there are some previously unheard tracks to be found in Adolesence as well. Grab it below; the Joe from Metronomy-produced Shake will convince you for sure. 01 Attention 02 [...]

I love Black Flag, but I will admit, there is a bunch of albums of theirs I just simply can't get into. Sure, everyone loves Damaged and The First Four Years, but it seems like people are pretty divided I just can't get into their gloomy, Black Sabbath experimental era ("My War"). In 1985 Black Flag released "Loose Nut", and while it wasn't exactly a return to form to their earlier days, it

I've raved so much about the indie True Adolescents that it pleases me to hear you're starting to rave about it, too. This e-mail/question comes ...

Normally I wouldn't even mention a frontman referring to his audience as "kids," though in this case, Brandon Boyd's assessment of his audience's age wasn't quite true. Sure, a lot of the fans who came to see his band were young, but a lot were also closer to his age than he might have been comfortable admitting (Boyd is 35). And while his statement might have not been a necessarily true, it was certainly a telling one. After all, though its hard to imagine, the truth is that 2011 marks the twentieth year that [...]
