Artist: void

As many of you know, I have started a Christmas tradition in Los Angeles that involves costumed critters running rampant around the city, getting insanely drunk and bringing holiday cheer to various watering holes, alehouses and tap rooms. In the inaugural 2007 edition of MouseMas Eve I donned the mouse costume, drank at Little Joy [...]

• Void - Black, Jewish, and Poor

(This is simply my way of justifying a somewhat late album review -but the truth is shot straight and spoken above.) Here's another reason to love honorary Mayor of Washington DC (and Fugazi/Minor Threat guy), the Pope of Punk himself: Mr. Ian MacKaye, He's dug through three decades-plus of the archives to unearth these grimy [...]

Is that enough "insert symbol"-type symbols for ya? I know I'm all set. Sunn O)))'s second album, ØØ Void , originally released in 2000, has been reissued...! Quick, Robin-- to the review! Track one, "Richard" is intestinal rumbling as a mantra, from the bowels of the Earth, using (cause it don't need no drums; in terms of drums, Sunn O))) ain't care!) what may or may not be a synthesizer as what effectively works as a "count," the way a drummer would use a ride symbol or [...]

Hope you ready for listening to late-night trance all week. Makson - Void(Because i sure am).

• Makson - Void

A part of the stunning success of the album "Alive in Us " released on HFN and La Baleine is probably because of the talented producer Trentemøller who remixed one of the tracks of the album called THE VOID . The two tracks "Dawn Will Be Night" and "Josephine" are very clearly the jewel of this disc. With them, Darkness [...]

• Darkness Falls - Alive In Us
• Darkness Falls - The Void

by BBG Void were clearly ahead of their time. Although the Columbia, MD band were short-lived and their output was similarly small, Void's negative blueprint were the catalyst for legions to come, signifying one of the first moments when the chaotic urgency of hardcore mixed with metal. Void's split with The Faith is a certified classic ( get it if you don't have it already), but the band had little other recorded material available for [...]

Did the headline work? Did you read it and immediately think, without logically evaluating anything, "Holy Christ! Why the goddamn hell do I not know the crucial differences in these sub- sub- sub- sub-genres of metal?!?!" [Not sure why I'm making you sound like Hunter Thompson.] Suh-weet. I'm awesome, brosef. [I assumed you said "yes," or "Of course, Master."] Just the fact that hardcore and black metal can both be present in a band means 2011 isn't all bad. Not like 1987, when the mere idea of punk and metal together meant a [...]

One of the fundamental goals of running a music blog is to introduce people to new music. The primary method of doing this is to highlight new releases, either via up and coming bands that show potential or tried-and-true musical mainstays that generally please the masses. Lost in this growing blogging race are the building blocks that got us to where we are, the albums that sounded like the hot new thing before the hot new thing was even a thing. So, in an effort to spotlight some artists or albums that might not have hit Hype Machine lately, Listen [...]

The venue was packed, expectedly I thought; three years ago Klaxons had dominated the indie/dance/electro world with 'nu rave' and became a household name globally, winning the Mercury prize in 2007. Now, a couple of months after the release of their tricky second album 'Surfing the Void', GoldFlakePaint wanted to know if they still had what it takes to wow a crowd and so off I went, to Tripod in Dublin, a great venue that I've never had the pleasure to visit until now. The exposed stone walls and hidden lighting made Tripod look [...]

Mystical American folk band, Blitzen Trapper , have unvelied the video for their new single, The Tree . The song, a duet with Alela Diane , is taken from the bands latest long-player 'The Destroyer Of The Void' , which came out via Subpop ealier this year. If you like what you see then you can catch the band live when they play a few UK dates at the end of November... 21/11 Glasgow King Tuts 22/11 Dublin The Workmans Club [...]

Seekae - Blood Bank I nearly forgot about Aussie group, Seekae, and then fortunately last night I arrived at a brilliant new song of theirs while... (Visit my blog for more!)

The indie darlings and Mercury Prize winning, Klaxons , have unveiled the video to their new single Echoes. The song will be released in the UK on August 16th, a week before the release of their highly anticipated new album Surfing The Void. The trio have also added a shed-load of US dates to commence after their pretty hefty European festival jaunt. Which makes the 2010 tour calendar look something like this; 07-24 Nyon, Switzerland - Paleo Festival 07-27 London, England - Village Underground 07-30 Paredes de Coura, [...]

So, I had some time away from Cincinnati. Most readers of this site will remember this post and in the time since then I have found that my path led bath to this area. And coming back, one of the things I wanted to do most was get to the Southgate House for a live show. Well, it didn't take a week before I got a chance and it was for a band I already enjoy, Blitzen Trapper . Of course the night started with The Moondoggies , who are a force to [...]

Singer/guitarist Eric Earley has been writing songs since a very early age, combining the gentle spirit of his early Oregonian surroundings with his own interpretation of classic and modern rock. Over the last ten years, he's poured some of his best songwriting into Blitzen Trapper . Confidently throwing weirdo guitar rock into intriguing alt-folk/country, the group nudged their own way into the hearts and minds of music fans with three self-released albums, culminating with the breakthrough Wild Mountain Nation. Their Sub Pop debut, Furr earned accolades from everyone from Pitchfork to Rolling Stone. [...]

Ganglians - The Void How I didn't glom onto the Ganglians is beyond. I'm a sucker for lush harmonies and reverb.
