![[Listen] Blacklisters - "Trickfuck"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3994517_lg.jpg)
Last week we introduced you to the noisy bunch of lads from Leeds known as Blacklisters . Today we get to hear a new track from them titled "Trickfuck" and I'd advise you to turn it up loud, before then maybe having to turn it down to prevent head explosion moments later. The track is set to be released via Brew on February the 27th but it's less than 3 minutes of pure gold. We'll be keeping a close eye on these gents in the coming months and you should do the same.

San Marcos, TX band Lauren & The Black List spent the summer and fall of 2011 recording an EP with Roi Zerda, from which today's feature is taken.

The Black List , Overbrook Entertainment exec Franklin Leonard's annual collection of the "most-liked" unproduced screenplays of the year , hit the town Monday. Among them include a Star Wars satire, an Alan Turing biopic and a few zombie flicks.
In a vain, desperate and over-ambitious attempt to keep up with the oodles of music we get sent and peruse over various wires, we give you Sack of Streams. The idea is four or five tracks with pithy and un-read descriptions for your aural please, whenever we get chance. Some of the first of these will be tunes from ancient times like October 2011, but if we catch up with our mail sack we might just hit that pop pulse…at which point we'll give up. Undoubtedly this will be a frustratingly irregular and quite possibly short-lived [...]
Deadline reports that Franklin Leonard, who has maintained the infamous Hollywood Black List for the past six years to champion hundreds of talented screenwriters and unproduced scripts, has launched an online version of the list to track scripts in realtime. The only downside about Blcklst.com is that it won't be open to the public. "Verified membership will be expanded to include agents, managers, directors, actors, and writers who will rate scripts according to what they like best. Additionally, the verified subscription format is designed to prevent data manipulation," Nikki Finke reports . The [...]
Smalltown America Records From: Belfast, Northern Ireland Smalltown America is an independent record label based in Belfast, Northern Ireland who have been bringing an eclectic mix of artists to the attention of the wider world since 2001. They are a truly independent, and at times belligerent, label in the grand tradition of Postcard, Creation, Factory, Zoo, Cherry Red. Labels that sought out the new, the different, the exciting and the original and released their work with scarcely a thought to their commercial prospects. They are about [...]
Looking for something you can dance to? Keep walking sugarbritches, 'caus yer not going to find it here. Not now. Described as Leeds' "strongest and most handsome men," Blacklisters deal in righteous, teeth-grinding, white-knuckle noise rock. All riffage akimbo and neck-snapping time changes, this is a hardcore din that you're advised to keep concealed from your friends and neighbors lest you be labeled "socially undesirable." Following ear-razing performances at the Leeds and Reading Festivals, the band has inked a deal with Brew Records , and plans are underway for a full-length [...]
Need to be kicked in the face? You probably think "no," but if you did need to be kicked in the face you most likely wouldn't even know it. Blacklisters just joined Brew Records, and to celebrate, they are giving you this. It is a kick to the face. Blacklisters formed in 2008, quickly earning a reputation as a formidable live act through aggressive, confrontational performances riddled with dark humour. Their music has drawn comparisons to the Jesus Lizard, Shellac, Pissed Jeans and Kong.
A year ago, this site published my review of Rohnert Park, the then-new album from San Francisco based hardcore act Ceremony. I cited the similarities of that record with those of comparatively more popular acts Fucked Up and Pissed Jeans, two groups that record for "indie" labels that are distinct from those owned by the [...]

Go figure that this year's winner of the coveted top spot on Hollywood's Blacklist - the annual compendium by Franklin Leonard that ranks the best unproduced screenplays - is about Karl Rove doing Karl Rovian things whilst in college. 49 Votes: "College Republicans" by Wes Jones Based on true events. Aspiring politician Karl Rove runs a dirty campaign for national College Republicans chairman under the guidance of Lee Atwater, his campaign manager. Agent: Creative Artists Agency - Gregory McKnight, Jay Baker Manager: Circle of [...]
Blacklisted crept up on me at the tail end of 2009 with the surprise release of a then-vinyl only album called No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me. Noticeably more eclectic than its balls-to-the-wall predecessor Heavier Than Heaven, Lonelier Than God, that release was reissued a few months ago in CD format [...]
There are those that are often too lazy to do any research that will happily slate the likes of Kap Bambino, DAT Politics, Sexy Sushi and Dandi Wind (etc...) for throwing together copy and paste versions of Crystal Castles, but the truth is rarely so simple. Like genres everywhere, it is too easy to point out some generic artist and assume that all within its meagre artistic walls suffer their
If you're one of those people who read this site every day (God bless you, you fucking masochists!), you may have noticed a lack of premium content from yours truly these past couple of weeks. That's because I've been in Japan soaking in neon, dining on fresh sushi, and recoiling in horror at the [...]
