#95 – Tramlines Teaser Part I

CASTROVALVA - DONUT (official)
So what brings Wilbur crawling apologetically back from the woodwork? Tramlines of course! Sheffield's annual sprawling, slightly incoherent, festival is again poised and ready to take the city by storm. With the official programme just released into the wild here I thought I'd lend a kindly hand and highlight some of the acts I've so graciously deemed worthy of your attention. For part I I'd like to shine the spotlight on..... Castrovalva [...]

Castrovalva show that bad dancing isn't just an indie thing with video for 'In Our Prime'

CASTROVALVA - In Our Prime
Do you remember that video for 'Lotus Flower' that Radiohead put out to promote their recent King of Limbs album? Y'now, the one where Thom Yorke dances like a lunatic? Well, Leeds-based noiseniks Castrovalva have gone and done something similar, only with growling angry noise instead of limp-glitch indie, and a mad-limbed ginger fellow instead of [...]

Castrovalva – We Are A Unit

Castrovalva – We Are A Unit As you may know, "We Don't Go to Ravenholm" is the an infamous chapter in the critically acclaimed 2004 video game Half-Life 2 . Involving a perilous journey through a trap- and zombie-infested Eastern European mining town, the chapter was praised for its atmosphere, tension and subtlety. "We Don't Go to Ravenholm" is also the title of a track on Castrovalva's 2010 debut album We Are A Unit , which can be praised for very little, with the possible exception of its merciful brevity. Let's be clear - I've nothing against messy, mercilessly loud, chaotic music. [...]

British Wildlife Festival, Nationof Shopkeepers, Leeds, 28/03/10

British Wildlife Festival, Nationof Shopkeepers, Leeds, 28/03/10 Pictures for British Wildlife Festival at Leeds' Nation of Shopkeepers are up! Yeah it was quite a messy night. Ultimate Thrush destroyed the stage yet again, but this timeround, it was really Divorce that took control of the whole the show. Christ, this was probably the best set they've ever played (and I've seen them 3 times). Fucking brutal. I'd be surprised if these guys don't yet have a cult following. Bought Ultimate Thrush's and Divorce's tees. Been waiting ages for them to get [...]

VIDEO: Castrovalva Live @ The Packhorse Leeds

Castrovalva @ The Packhorse, Live At Leeds from Roach Productions on Vimeo .

Castrovalva

Hailing from Leeds, Castrovalva take their inspiration not from the Leeds music scene, but from some of the noise drum/bass duos America has to offer, acts like Lightning Bolt, Health and Death From Above 1979. Their self-titled mini-album will be out May 4th. It's loud, it's gritty and it's in-your-face. The album opens with 'Max Rhodes' where its sample of a quiet radio broadcast is harshly overshadowed with roaring bursts of heavily distorted bass, carving its way into a song. The drums pound and crash their way though the tracks, accompanying the bass in and between [...]

Mag Monday 5

Mag Monday 5 I missed last week's MM so here's an extra helping of MAGTASM. Dirty Projectors ' upcoming album, 'Bitte Orca', leaves where 'Rise Above' left off, only this time around it's all original songs (Rise Above was an attempt to remake the Black Flag album, Damaged, from-memory). It's definitely their most accomplished and accessible album to date. 'Remade Horizon' is a stand-out song for me, with a sweet chorus line. Yeahhh I wanna!

Castrovalva - S/T

Castrovalva - S/T Castrovalva are yet another heavy rock band playing mainly instrumental stuff that manage to fall within the genre of math rock, which seems to be making a resurgence in popularity since it first raised its melodic head in the 1980s. Based in Leeds in the UK, this is the band's follow up to their debut, self released album Live at the Library. The album is full of cool ideas and moments, such as the intro which starts with the sound of an ancient, crackly radio show which then gets bombarded by distorted bass and heavy drums that jut [...]
