En los ultimos meses he estado escuchando un poco del trabajo de Religious To Damn y la verdad, es que no esta tan mal e incluso para los que han estado encantados con los proyectos que les he venido poniendo dentro de este circuito que ha traido de vuelta la mas pura escencia de lo que era el new wave de los 80 con un poco de oscuridad (al igual que en los 80), seguramente este proyecto les llamara la atencion y cabe resaltar, que en lo personal, en este nuevo sencillo que acaban de estrenar titulado "Lovely Day" las [...]

Live This Month: January 2012 (Podcast #268) In Live This Month , we sample some of the great local and out-of-town bands performing in the coming month in the San Francisco Bay Area. If the beginning of January feels a little slim on the live music front, things should ramp back up into the usual overwhelming number of interesting shows by the month's end. Several young local bands recently came onto our radar - including Churches, Poor Sons, and Primitive Hearts - and they're all partaking in locals-heavy bills in the next [...]

www.religioustodamn.com/ / Facebook Sometimes when you trail through Rough Trade and see " a must hear for fans of zola jesus, siouxise and fever ray " you expect it to be too good to be true, though in the case of Religious to Damn it perhaps is not. The moniker of Afghan-American Zohra Atash, whose breathy vocal recalls Kate Bush and Siouxsie, the former in the fragile, alluring voice that encapsulates so much of 'Glass Prayer', the later on the ferocious moments where Zohra releases herself from the [...]

Acha que eles deveriam criar o seu próprio ritmo? Se prepara pra ficar confuso agora com o Religious to Damn . De descendência afegã, mas criada no meio de toda a bagunça sonora que um pai músico pode oferecer em Nova York, Zohra Atash, vocalista e líder do grupo, não nega suas [...]

Keath's Best of February Okay, so I've been doing my "Only Listen to Music Released in 2011 in 20113 experiment for a full month (though I've only been blogging about it for 2 weeks), and I thought it would be nice to recap the month. Best Album of February Dynamite Steps by The Twilight Singers . What I said : While not as vicious an exorcism as 1965 was, Dulli hasn't lost his knack [...]
In New York City, you can wear a turban, cloak and ritual paint in the shadow of your home subway stop NO PROBLEM. But when you have to get out of your mind/here, and also have a job and/or social life, the quick trip options are limited. Metropolis gypsies Religious to Damn shot the [...]

Predominantly consigned to the realms of 'gypsy-rock' or 'gypsy-psych', the Zohra Atash fronted Religious To Damn could better be described as goth-Americana. Debut album Glass Prayer relentlessly pays homage to the grand ole U.S of A, evoking boundless desert-scapes, snakeskin boots grinding cigarette stubs into flame-red dusty roads, antiquated motel rooms and sturdily shod cowboys roaming the plains. Mournful lament and album opener 'Love The Machine' hovers on the brink of engaging, its acoustic cadence and understated vocals crying out for the rhythmic punch of following track 'Drifter' – a haunting pop [...]
