Well, it's a little later than last year but it's time again to turn the music down and put on your art-critic monocles and top hats. Yes, in a year where some heavy hitters came along with some high quality production, I did my best to highlight of few of the lesser known 'other' artists involved in completing the full album package. Just like the last two years ( 2009 , 2010 ), my discriminating eye is looking for quality in a holistic sense when it comes to album artwork. Essentially my main question is whether or not it [...]
5. The Death Set - I Miss You Beau Velasco If you're thinking that our list this year has been noticeably lacking in a particular instrument, you'd be correct. 2011 hasn't been a great year for guitars and little of the music we've listened to has centered around them. One album however which had face-melting frettery very much at it's core was The Death Set 's 'Michel Poiccard'. Our favourite song from the record was 'I Miss You Beau Velasco', a fitting tribute to former bandmate Beau who sadly died from an overdose in 2009. We all know [...]
Welcome to the end of the year. A time for reflection, for resolutions, for binge drinking, and for me telling you what was good in the TBE hood! Kicking things off are my 15 favorite covers spanning all genres and damn near all instruments. Guys! Girls! Guys singing girls' songs! Girls singing guys' songs! It's mayhem! Strap in, rock on, and let me know if I missed your favorite cover of the year. 15. ♫ Jimmy Cliff - Ruby Soho (Rancid cover) / Reggae legend + Punk legends = Legendary. 14. ♫ Sondre [...]
Holidays are so mainstream, no? Forget the commercialization of the fiasco, but the wholesome nature of it all is enough to make a person sick. After a holiday break with the fam, people tend to go back to normal life feeling much less badass, much more creatively stunted. You're getting soft. You need to get your edge back. Here, The Death Set's new video. Life is not about sweaters, PG movies, and the delight of a well-timed sale. It's about masks. Masks, motherfucker, masks.

LOUDER THAN WAR:" Atari Teenage Riot , Anonymous and WIKILEAKS have done EDIT 3 for BLACK FLAGS. The song is the toughest piece of industrial grind and lays down the band's anti corporate manifesto. This is a great use of video as the key statement with the song being [...]

Playing ecstasy infused punk rock that bashes listeners into groovy head banging, The Death Set has raged with audiences worldwide.
New video from The Death Set's 'Michael Poiccard', a record I've gushed over before . One of the stand-out tracks of the record getting the videographic treatment, and thoroughly discomposing my stomach in the process. What's worse is the girl at the end is so damn hot, but I feel too ill in my tummy to get aroused. Confusing :*( In other news, Brisbane band DZ Deathrays are in the process of blowing the fuck up. Word has it the Death Set will be doing a blow-for-blow cover of [...]

(photo by Brock Fetch) The kids of the grind/pop/thrash act The Death Set just finished some US touring with Win Win (Vice Records) aka producer XXXChange, DJ Devlin and visual wiz DJ Ghostdad. They also took a ton of photos and iPhone weirdo footage and compiled it all into two very disturbing but ultimately rewarding and hilarious bit of fun. Ok, lots of fun. If you like laser cats, snoring, graffiti, live shows, trumpets, food, laughs and maybe a dick shot or two or three, have a blast with Part 1 and Part [...]
