We are hacktivist We hack to let people know our message Online crusaders and vigilante group Anonymous have been on a rampage in India taking down the Big Cinemas website and other Reliance-affiliated and owned company websites, after the ISP blocked sites like The Pirate Bay and Vimeo and many more (take a look at this compilation of all the sites blocked by Reliance here ) on the back of a Madras High Court order (read the order here ) issued in response to a John Doe complaint regarding the [...]

The time was the early 2000s and the venue was Razzberry Rhinoceros. Metal bands got together and played their music at Razz ("Rhinoceros" is just too inconvenient to say) in Mumbai, and more often than not you would see a band that would completely confound you and your notion of metal. Bands such as Naked Earth, Pin Drop Violence, and Demonic Resurrection would take the stage and the audience would impatiently wait for the next moshpit to appear. Finding new metal was a limited experience and, at the time, it was almost always confined to specific locations such as Razz. [...]

Located at the heart of Bangalore, Palace Grounds has always been a special venue for Bangaloreans, and fans from around the country so inclined, to watch all the biggest musicians that come to India. Scenesters could be facing some tough times ahead though with news that the Karanatka state government might ban any musical performances from taking place at the Palace Grounds by refusing to grant organizers licenses for live performances. Although the decision has yet to be taken, the causes that are rumoured include traffic jams that take place in the arterial roads around Palace Grounds and [...]

Imagine a typical Atlas bicycle darting across Mumbai, chasing every crack in the crowd, working its way through endless clouds of smoke and chaos. And now imagine it having electric guitar strings in place of spokes, and a single playing card jammed between the strings. The result - a 'sonic bicycle' that leaves behind a trail of sound as it steers through the city. French artist and filmmaker Ceacilia Tripp went on to film the journey of the bicycle as it outlined several of the city's historical and political landmarks from Cross Maidan, to Sewri and finally to the cotton [...]
Vorige week deden de The Voice UK juryleden (Tom Jones, Will.I.Am, Jessie J en Danny O'Huppeldepup van die ene band) samen een liedje aan het begin van de live show. Daar moeten we het even over hebben. De jury koos voor Beautiful Day van U2. Dat ging niet zo goed. Laten we de video er even bij pakken, dat praat een stuk makkelijker.

Sin duda uno de los releases más sorprendentes e interesantes de éste Record Store Day será el split entre Feist y Mastodon, Feistodon. En éste 7" Feist le puso Feist a "Black Tongue" de Mastodon, y Mastodon le puso mucho Mastodon a "A Commotion" de Feist. Enjoy.

Starting at midnight tonight and continuing all day tomorrow, it's the 5th annual Record Store Day! What started in 2008 as a way to celebrate brick & mortar, mom & pop, independently-run record stores has grown into ... well, the very same celebration but on a much larger scale. Tons of labels and bands are sharing exclusive releases and vinyl reissues, and music lovers-like us here at DUL-will be out and about to support our local shops. We suggest you do the same, so we're sharing some info here about how to get involved. Read on for a list of [...]

The rumors are true! Even if you haven't heard them! On May 11, we are teaming up with exfm for a night of vivid sounds and fierce emotion, all going down at Pianos in good ol' NYC. This is Knox Road's first-ever show, so I don't think I need to say how excited we are. Think super-duper. Especially because two of the four bands aren't even NY-based, and exfm is one of our favorite music sites (check out the bottom right corner of this page). We've been strong advocates on KR for Warm [...]
As the Mumbai Fire Brigade approaches its 125th anniversary, NH7 finds out what the firemen of Mumbai do on a daily basis and what their lives are like when there are no fires in the city. Read our two-part story here (part one) and here (part two, duh). TL;DR? Here's a handy infographic (click to enlarge). Click to enlarge Designed by Ishan Rathod

This is the second part of a two-part look at the Mumbai Fire Brigade and what firemen do when there aren't any fires in the city. Check out part one here . It is a few days later and we have returned to the 'E' Ward in Byculla with the paperwork required to write the story, and after explaining the nature of the story to Mr. Rahangdale, another deputy chief fire officer, we are taken to an air-conditioned room where he speaks to his senior officer about our request. We wait for a while as [...]

The first return a Google search offers me for the word 'photobooth' is a Wikipedia link to Apple's signature photo software , built specifically to shoot with the iSight camera. Google eventually helps redirect me to the meaning of the good ol' photobooth . A fairly rare concept in India, restricted to festivals, carnivals and weddings, photobooths are not really the coolest thing around now; more hipster and old-school as Sheena Dabholkar likes to believe. Dabholkar wished to take the idea and make it more contemporary, interactive and memorable, as against the general pose-and-make-awkward-face-and -go photographs that the booths were [...]

When we were children, we would often look at smoke in the air and shout with joy. The cause of this excitement lay in the often unrealised dream of watching a flashy, red fire engine come up the street to put out the fire. It may sound horrible now, but in an age where the idea of 'hurt' was limited to scraped knees and elbows, and death wasn't understood, the idea of an inferno in the vicinity was always welcomed with great enthusiasm. Though fire trucks were quite exciting, there was almost no excitement when we considered firemen. Childish games [...]

Hace unos días, Creative Review publicó Under The Covers - Volume 3 , otra edición de los maravillosos mixes que publica Soulwax en su aplicación para iOS, Radio Soulwax . Pero es hasta hoy que liberaron el video para compartirlo con todos ustedes. En sí, se supone que la versión oficial de este mix de una hora saldrá en la aplicación el lunes, pero los dioses de la música nos concedieron el deseo de un preview (que termina siendo más que suficiente) vía Vimeo, [...]

The start of this week was quite an unlikely one. Waking up from fatigue-induced slumber on a Monday afternoon, post Eristoff Invasion festival madness, all I knew was I wanted food. Once that was out of the way, I bumped into Gaurav Vaz of The Raghu Dixit Project on Brigade Road, Bangalore and learnt that the band was playing a gig at MS Ramaiah Institue of Technology, Bangalore. Considering I had time before my flight back to Mumbai, I decided to hang around with the band till soundcheck and see what it would be like to [...]

Sono gli Offspring gli headliner della prima delle due gionate di Rock In Idrho 2012 . Il Festival decisamente a sorpresa infatti si sdoppia con quindici band internazionali e due italiane che si divideranno tra Rock in Idrho Preview, il 13 giugno al Carroponte di Sesto S. Giovanni, con Headliner The Offspring (per l'occasione suoneranno brani del nuovo cd di cui è prevista l'uscita in primavera), e quella che sarà poi la giornata clou del Festival annunciata per il 21 luglio all'Arena Rho Fiera, [...]

But, how much do [...]
