Niente di nuovo sul fronte occidentale: il collettivo catalano The foxholes rispolvera la formula del precedente com o doin fier no (N.d.R. qui recensito ) senza nemmeno correggere o rivedere alcunché. Le vie alternative del rock di qualche decennio fa rimangono le stesse, con l'aggravante che adesso suonano datate e ricopiate dall'episodio precedente: quando l'autocelebrazione può nuocere. Già la traccia d'apertura La sed que yo tengo è come fare stretching prima di una gara importante: sfascia i muscoli, allenta la concentrazione, fa perdere la competizione. Un passo falso può capitare, infatti le tracce seguenti [...]

On Saturday I decided to spend a day in Brussels with my sister, as they'd predicted lovely sunny weather. And for once, the weather forecast was right. Brussels is my favourite Belgian city for sure: it's multicultural and there's so much to do and see. When I went to Brussels with a friend for the first time years ago I hated it. I disliked the people, the cold atmosphere, the mess a big part of the city is in. I couldn't wait to be back home. Overt the years I've realised that you have to learn [...]
:: As if that first single wasn't bad enough, Kings of Leon just gave a peak at the second one . :: Some mostly so-so artists recorded some mostly so-so covers from the Bob Dylan masterpiece Bringing It All Back Home . :: Amebix frontman Rob Miller admits that most punks in his day were " lazy fucking bastards ." :: Greg Weeks of The Red Chord wants the Buffalo Bills to murder Kid Rock .

Elo, Spamming continues. Jakby komuś w sobotę (i w niedzielę!) się nudziło to zapraszam do poznańskiego Eskulapa na Kill Da Chill vol. 2. Tłusty bas będzie z nami. Ja z ekipą Foxhole okupuję drugi stage gdzie będziemy miętolić dubtechy, minimale i inne srogie gatunki. A w niedzielę after na poznańskiej plaży nad Wartą w tzw. "Kontenerach". Zapraszam! Druga odsłona imprez z cyklu Kill da Chill! z pewnością nie będzie odstawać muzycznie oraz jakościowo od pierwszej, na której do 6 rano przewinęło się 500 osób, a set Tom'a Encore'a wyssał większość sił z poznańskiej [...]
:: Glad to see that Dio is still as feisty as ever, even while undergoing chemotherapy . He's going to "kick the hell out of" cancer. :: Who knew that Ed Norton and The Swell Season were pals ? :: So it looks like Roseanne Cash , Billy Bragg and Joe Henry will be doing a record together . Talk about heavy hitters. Modern day Highwaymen (and highwaywoman) maybe? :: You can listen to Dr. Dog 's [...]

It came to me as a pretty big surprise that the Bowling Green, KY's Foxhole is frequently grouped in with the Christian genre. There is a certain level of quality we are used to with music of the "Christian" variety, and objectively, it has definitely been a limiting factor for some bands, who are immediately dismissed (for whatever reason) simply due to the fact that their music has a spiritual side. My experience with Foxhole's 2004 LP (Reisued: Burnt Toast 2008), We The Wintering Tree , has led me to believe they are an intelligent and multi-faceted group of [...]
