Those instruments don't set themselves up, ladies and gentlemen; where there's a big metal show there's also a crew of roadies doing all the tough work behind the scenes. Vice Magazine has put together a documentary mini-series called On the Road, which they're releasing in bite-sized chunks of 10-minute episodes, to pay tribute to these heroes [...]

Herpes: Symptome Und Beschwerden "Do you have Herpes?" or "I'm looking for Herpes" might get you something you weren't asking for in a record shop (probably a broken noise and a nasty rash, respectively) but, terrible name aside, the second album from the Berlin band (Symptoms and Ailments, in English) is rather superior post-punk that is well worth hearing. It mixes influences from the art-school essentials of Devo and Suicide (heard to best effect on [...]

Hailing from Brussels, Belgium and signed to DIM MAK records, Sound of Stereo are a duo to keep a very close eye on. Their remix of Autoerotique's 'Freak' is more contagious than herpes, whether it is played at the peak of the night or at 4:30 in the morning and you're one of the only people left in the club and craving a kebab, when you hear the hook it's near impossible to not want to destroy a small village. Also be sure to check their Flatline EP, which was released at the start of the year and keep an [...]

Today is up and comer day usually, but instead of me picking one band that is maybe, possibly, kinda sorta rising to the top, and giving you one of their songs to listen to, I have decided to share with you this month's edition of the Music Alliance Pact. It is a couple days late in terms of the blog world, but now that I have got a chance to listen to most of these songs, I realized almost all of these songs would make a swell addition to your music collection. In particular I would recommend [...]

We're a few days late with this month's Music Alliance Pact, but it should be well worth the wait. Music Alliance Pact (MAP) is a collaboration between 33 blogs from all over the world, and every month, each of us present a new band from our country. All presentations are put together in this huge blogpost, and presented on the same day in all the MAP blogs. Massive promotion for the bands!

Suve selgroog on murtud! Käes on aeg kesksuviseks MAPiks. Head isu. EESTI : Popop Opium Flirt - Parade In Chimes Opium Flirt on tegutsenud juba aastast 2004 – andnud kontserte, kirjutanud ja salvestanud muusikat. Oma muusikaliste projektide alla on nad hõivanud nii multimeedia installatsioone, filme ja koreograafilisi etendusi. „Parade In Chimes" on võetud nende uuelt albumilt „DejaVoodoo". [...]

ARGENTINA : Zonaindie The Kyoto Connection - H.E.A.T. The eighties are back! At least, that's what we felt after listening to No Headphones Required, the cc-licensed brand new album by The Kyoto Connection. This amazing band delivers sweet electronic music mixed with Japanese juice and Flashdance-like synth sounds. If you like it, you can download the whole record from their website. AUSTRALIA : Who The [...]

In iulie, la Music Alliance Pact va propunem Identitate , proiectul timisorean-londonez al lui Ovidiu. Fara cuvinte mari: imi pare rau ca nu l-am descoperit mai devreme - face o muzica extrem de vizuala, folosind aproape tot din jurul sau plus o chitara. Poate din cauza asta l-as compara cu Avey Tare. Am ascultat al treilea album 'Who I Am and What I Want' pe care il puteti descarca gratuit de aici . De pe acest album am ales piesa 'Alone', folosita ca soundtrack pentru un scurt metraj. In mare masura tot albumul e o posibila coloana sonora, [...]

É com grande felicidade que conseguimos trazer, este mês, ao Music Alliance Pact, uma das bandas nacionais que tem um dos temas, deste ano e deste Verão, que não nos sai da cabeça e da ponta do assobio. Eles são os Madame Godard e tiveram a gentileza de nos permitir a inclusão de "Atlas 1977", o tema que todos conhecem do seu novo disco "Galapagos". Penso que, que neste ambiente de calor, brisas refrescantes e cheiro a festa, os Madame Godard são uma das melhores bandas do pop nacional para levar nesta viagem à volta do mundo que é o [...]
