The slightly older generation of readers that visit this blog will surely have an opinion on this band. Anyone that was around the first time Joy Division or Siouxie & The Banshees screamed into view will find lots of familiar ground with today's recommendation. Their first listen will either stir up a love for this band because of their affinity to the guitar bands synonymous with the late 70s and early 80s, or they'll hate them because of how depressing it is to see how little music has moved on. Everyone else can stand their opinions [...]
Stream: Savage- "Husbands" As anybody will tell you, there's nothing I love more than the strange, moody, and dark female-fronted post-punk , and the band Savages definitely delivers that. They've got a new record on the way via Pop Noire Records, and this is the first track I'm hearing from it. Well, I'm psyched. A driving bassline and quiet drums start the track off. Despite their quiet disposition, they feel really tense. Tense, tense, tense ! It's like having an ache in your upper back you can't get rid [...]

By Nathan Hetherington A dark and twisted panic oozes from "Husbands", the first recorded sounds from the Anglo-French Post Punk band Savages. Picture a more violent, sexual Joy Division as Jenny Beth Hisses and sheiks through a fierce performance that equals the buzz surrounding their recent live shows in London. Flying To Berlin/Husbands will be available on Pop Noire 5/28. Savages - Husbands Savages [...]

In all likelihood you're probably already well aware of intimidatory London noisenik post-punks Savages . Heck; you've presumably already caught them live. If not, they're up early on Eat Your Own Ears' stage at next month's Field Day , and they're a quite spectacular proposition within such a context . However on record, they've up 'til now be a rather less qualitative quantity. Husbands, one half of the quartet's debut single that is to be released digitally this and physically next month on lead vocalist Jehnny Beth's Pop Noire label, changes all that somewhat: a [...]

Not much is made of good band names these days, with emphasis only on the bad and the irrefutably ugly but Savages , the moniker of a menacing, quite precariously hyped London four-piece currently spewing charisma and gusto out from the doorways of dimly lit haunts, is a fucking brilliant one. Fitting such billing are the songs themselves: a purposeful bluster of diligent agitation, they're ones to watch out for before they creep up and ferociously shred your every niggling fear that guitars and the distorted grunge they secrete are dying, dead, expired or some such bullshit. Savages need [...]

Ridiculously named remixer produces good ambient remix. Free download. Husband is an artist on Robot Elephant Records. Of them, they say " Husband are Gianlorenzo and Chiara. Hailing from Italy's creative ground zero that is Bologna, they are set out to win the hearts of the pop-savvy people in Europe with their hyperactive tribal jams and off-kilter drone sounds ." This is definitely the latter. The remix by Ebola Ape takes the track all small and clicky. Voices drift around on waves, gradually coming into and out of focus. Beats echo around in odd thuds. Good stuff. [...]
Coupla PMs ago the SINEAD O'CONNOR dropped via the Graham Norton show to briefly chat about her forthcoming LP which I've got a promo of sitting on me desk but still not heard, and to perform her sensational new single, THE WOLF IS GETTING MARRIED .

Mint Julep launches "I Never Wanted You" into the atmosphere with their beautiful cover of Headphones' seminal track. The Portland husband-wife duo creates subtle tension in the track with singer Hollie Kenniff's unaffected, soft vocals and bubbling instrumentation. Lyrically, it is an angry anthem for your ex with lines like "Baby, I was faking the whole time." Kenniff's detached singing style stands in contrast with the words, creating an interesting dynamic with the song's biting nature. I've been listening to this on repeat for the past few hours, so maybe you should give it a listen. [...]

Avevamo già presentato gli Husband , progetto collaterale di Gianluca "Giallo" dei Buzz Aldrin insieme a Chiara, quasi un anno fa , e finalmente il duo torna a farsi sentire con un po' di materiale nuovo. La loro label, la britannica Robot Elephant sta per dare alle stampe una compilation in split con la californiana Tundra Dubs. Entrambe si dichiarano animate da un "unmatched zeal to champion new and unusual sounds" e l'originale tracklist che si spartiscono con cinque canzoni a testa ne è decisamente una conferma (tra gli altri nomi, Ritualz, Funerals, Church Of [...]

the SINEAD O'CONNOR is getting some help to sort out her mental health. the newly-wed, newly-separated, newly just having sex with her newly-wed slash newly-separated husband, took to her twitter to ensure you don't worry about a her .. Gonna be off radar for few weeks. But will be back. Worry not. : ) .. im going to hospital. Treatment for depression. Not at all well. But they will put me back together quick. Dont want anyone worrying. Should only worry if a depressed person DOESNT go hospital. [...]

Husband From: Bologna, Italy I've been thinking for some time that the world needs a song that blends the Stone Roses effortless cool and pop savvy with the electronic stylings of Giorgio Moroder and lo and behold Italian duo Husband pop up with the awesome Love Song . If it was any cooler it could solve global warming. It's a little early to be identifying cast iron certainties for the Devil's top 10 [...]

again ! the SINEAD O'CONNOR splits with her husband, for the second time in a month. this time blames the media. Certain sections of our media… caused enormous damage deliberately and maliciously to my innocent flower of a husband, purely because he was with me. cue the MJ's MAN IN THE MIRROR. wotyougot

the SINEAD O'CONNOR reconciles with her husband, calls off divorce, loads of sex is involved. the she-singer announced via her twitter that she and her 16-day husband are now "boyfriend and girlfriend." guess who had a mad love making affair with her own husband last night? Yay!!! we decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend again an stay married but we did rush so we gonna return to b friend g friend. tah for the mental image, now can someone plz take away [...]

This Thursday, Dec. 1st marks the next event in our SubEx Presents series with R TB+Last Joke , A.M. Ramblers , Brenna Manzare & The Proper Husbands . While Ryan Thomas Becker's semi new-ish local super group Last Joke and Denton's A.M. Ramblers are both somewhat known local commodities, the opening act is one we are equally, if not more so, excited about. This show will mark the first ever Dallas performance of Brenna Manzare & The Proper Husbands, another super group of sorts, that contains former members of Oso Closo, and The Rocket Summer helping [...]

Artist : younghusband Title : Crystal EP Label : Sonic Cathedral Release Date : November 21st Words by Mel Reeve Woozy yet rhythmic, echoing surf-pop but with a darker edge – there is definitely a lo-fi feel to this EP, perhaps not surprising once you're aware that younghusband began as a bedroom recording project by Euan Hinshelwood, who's also a member of Emmy The Great. It's [...]

HUSBAND is a duo made of Gianlorenzo and Chiara from Bologna, Italy. I got into the band through the Soft Metals remix of their first cut "Love Song." I dug how catchy it was, so I sought out the original. Plus, any band with such dark sensibilities are bold for taking on such a title, one to me that will always be associated with the Disintegration album and R. Smith. But Husband takes it in a whole other direction with steady, reliable microKorg and a drummer who pounds on the floor toms standing up, tranced out, and just fucking feeling [...]

While their meaning and significance seemingly reduces with every passing day, there is still something a little bit special about a bands debut single . Despite there no longer being the market there was once was for them in terms of sales and revenue, a bands first single can still be used in the same way as it always has been; not just as an introduction to the band but also a statement of their intent. Next week sees the release of Carousel , the debut single from London four-piece Younghusband and, as statements of [...]
