Everyone has that band that got them into music, or into a genre. And no matter how mediocre or revolutionary that band is, you'll always hold them as one of the greatest things ever recorded. Personally speaking, my first real dose of underground hardcore, thrash, crust, and pure wreckage is also a completely unsung band ...

Ruben & Ra son un pretencioso dúo británico que a lo largo del tiempo ha extendido su rol de productores buceando en la música hasta volverse adictos a ella, coleccionando decenas de discos, hablando de decenas de lanzamientos con amigos, en pubs, en bares. Es más, previamente a optar por lanzar tracks de su autoría eran críticos musicales, reviewers de géneros que hoy los definen como lo son el soul, funk o disco, sin apartarse de su versión electrónica (Nü Disco). Después de lanzar un puñado de [...]

Spanish house DJ/producer Dynamicron (a.k.a. Roberto Marrero) has been mixing records since 1996. Known for his releases on Groove Democracy, Silhouette Music and Los Grandes (Dynamicron's own label), he's been making a global name for himself on the slow house scene from his headquarters in Maxdrid. With his deep and lovely remix featured on Heion's This Time EP released yesterday on vinyl via Retrospective, Dynamicron has crafted a smooth DJ mix showing his funky skills, featuring his remix of Heion's "This Time" as well as other choice head-nodders. "Here's a bunch [...]

by Bill Pearis The Three O'Clock circa 1983 For me, the most suprising name on this year's Coachella line-up was The Three O'Clock . With farfisa-fueled songs like "With a Cantaloupe Girlfriend" and "Spun Gold," they were perhaps the quintessential band from LA's early-'80s "paisley underground" scene that included The Bangles, Rain Parade and The Dream Syndicate. After 1985's terrific Arrive Without Traveling , the band got swept out of mushroom tea-land and into the world of Bad '80s [...]

There are thousands upon thousands of forgotten bands buried and rotting in the coffin of time. And while the heap is often justifiable hill of similarly marked graves that did nothing but play idol worship [insert any Hatebreed rip-off band here], some are truly remarkable units that just didn't get the respect they deserved. If ... The post Up the VOMITÜS appeared first on Metal Injection .
Missed part 1 of this amazing retrospective on Suede by our Martin? Right this way, folks. Sixteen months after their gloriously successful debut, and by way of a taster for the second album, Suede released their career pinnacle: the faultless trifecta of 'We Are the Pigs', 'Killing of a Flash Boy' and 'Whipsnade'. The portentiously-tolling minor-chord intro of 'We Are The Pigs’ gives way to Brett Anderson in full, finely-fettled flow: flouncing around the soundscape, a figurehead for the dispossessed, disenchanted victims of urban decay, empathising, encouraging, [...]

Savemoney has been on a tear lately, and that won't change anytime soon. Today we get a new track from Sterling Hayes, titled "Retrospect" feat. D2G and Kembe X.

Since Maison Kitsuné clothes line exists, its emblematic mascot fox metamorphosed in all its furry forms. We counted every of them and compiled them in a non-exhaustive pictorial retrospective, so you can discover each embroidered character in details below. A fancy farandole of flossy friends, to tame and to love! The ginger embroidered seated fox. [...]
On the 11th of May this year, anyone born on the day Suede released their debut single will be celebrating their 21st birthday. Widely credited as being one of the earliest and most influential practitioners of Britpop, in truth the Suede story is more complex and enigmatic than that, and the eve of adulthood of their debut release seems as good a time as any to revisit the Suede story. In this retrospective we reassess Suede’s catalogue, critically assessing how their music stands up to the cold light of hindsight, and how [...]

"I was just trying to rip off The Pixies." -Kurt Cobain on "Smells Like Teen Spirit" "The one that made me go, 'Holy shit.' It was so fresh. It rocked without being lame." -Billy Corgan Whether you first heard Frank Black's trademark snarl somewhere in a Farrelly Bros. comedy, your cousin's beat up Volvo, or on your college radio, odds are it stuck with you. While Cobain's often credited for bringing alternative rock 'n' roll to the masses with 19912s Nevermind , most rock scholars will credit Black's [...]
If you were to make a list of the most influential U.K. hardcore/punk and metal bands, you could not avoid putting Heresy on the list. Those that know the band know that they're were a force to be reckoned with. Known for their breakneck speed songs and unparalleled live energy, Heresy set out to destroy ...

The top mp3s have gone through many incarnations since the beginning of Consequence of Sound in 2007. What used to be an exhaustive roundup of all the singles, remixes, covers, and undiscovered gems emailed to us any given week evolved into a compilation whittled down to our 10 favorite new songs. For 2013, we’re again changing up the format with the hope of giving our selections some added weight. We’re still posting about our 10 favorite songs, but they’ll be ordered in quality from 10-1.

![[Video] Retrospect: “Can I” (feat. Chandler London, J Arthur, Dot Kom & ShowYouSuck)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4831259_lg.jpg)
Chicago’s own, Retrospect, initially came under my radar due to their impressive videos for the songs “Abella” & “We Came Last”, thanks two both being visually appealing and very welcoming of their sound and style. Nonetheless, yesterday the duo set their standards even higher with the release of the short-film for their local posse-cut “Can I”, which features Chandler London, J Arthur, DotKom & ShowYouSuck. Inspired by Spike Lee’s classic Do The Right Thing , this is by far the most entertaining video Quotes and Def Poet have put out and also one of the best video’s [...]

When you think of blast beats you're mind probably goes to something like Napalm Death or Rotten Sound nowadays. Perhaps Pig Destroyer's Prowler in the Yard? While some speculate that Napalm Death was the originator of the blast beat, they were not the only band famous for the method at the time. Perhaps one of ...

Disappointed by the Oscars James Bond retrospective? Yeah, we all mostly were. Thankfully, we can thank Kees van Dijkhuizen jr. for his stupendous efforts. Sure, it seems to lean heavily in favor of the Daniel Craig-era and shortfalls the rest, but still, this is a great retrospective. [ Thanks, Tommy! ]
