MM's brother, Uncle Mite, followed his (ill-advised) Marillion phase ( Dilly Dilly ) with a sustained dabble in the gothic world of The Cure , The Mission (also guilty m'Lud) and perhaps worst of all, the growling, flour covered, wild west Morricone look of Fields Of The Nephilim (unusual for the staid, new town of Stevenage in Herts). So Columboid may well be the answer to his long-forgotten Gothic dreams. Formed around the nucleus of singer/keyboardist Ryan Hamilton in his NYC basement back in 2009, [...]
While it's unlikely Columboid's track 'Guy Got Kilt' will soundtrack many parties come Hogmanay, it's certainly had us swaying around the office. It's driving beats, urgent synth work and singer Ryan Hamilton's Ian Curtis-esque vocals combine to create a powerfully dark piece of pop. We like.

The rapid fire 8mm cuts interspersed throughout this basement performance just adds to the sonic vertigo. Worth checking out. If you dig on it, their debut, We Are One , just came dropped on the mighty upstart La Soc , so go see 'bout 'em!
Violet Mice Three reasons to whistle your way to The Whister tonight... 1. Yes, even thought "mice" is used in its plural form in the band name for Chicago's Violet Mice , it's actually a one man show. That one man? Ian McDuffie, who on Violet Mice's latest release, The Goust EP , plays everything from the guitar and basses to the shakers and the "weird things." The result is a intriguingly disjointed set of melodies and exuberant pop messes. [...]
