Reviews: The Now Deads demo tape & The Spectres Visions of a New World 7

2008-06-05 07:58:15 by Oliver / Cult Punk in Cult Punk
...music deliciously on the punk side of the fence. The vocals are hollow, desolate, even cold; and although the cassette is a demo, the production feels appropriate, lending the songs an atmosphere of intense isolation and dread. If you can get hold of a cassette, do so as soon as you can; if not, write the band at the address above and maybe...

Microsoft is all set to start selling its Joy Division line of Zune mp3 players on June 17, 2008. Yep, no joke. Below is a screenshot from Pitchfork of the gloomy little thing. Pitchfork also has an accompanying article about it Its hard to believe it was over a year ago when I wrote about a culture shift in the US after I witnessed a Fall song...

...music vehicle do so, unlike Born Against , MDC , the Crass label bands, etc., all of whose sentiments are similar though they chose punk as their medium. An IWW member til his death, Utah Phillips will be sorely missed for singing rebel music like this little gem from the IWWs Little Red Songbook The workers flag is deepest red It shrouded...

Penny Rimbaud letter on eBay for $70, superb musical content

...musical content. So, is it like a musical Hallmark card? You open the letter up, and it plays Big A Little A? Or For all I know some desperate punk is trying to find a way to pay his rent and this is his shot in the dark to do so. If that is the case, I am sympathetic. Sort of. Or, s/he could just be an opportunistic, vulture of a scumbag Not...

...music media of the time. In the meantime, the New York hardcore scene was moving further away from its punk roots and into uncharted and downright tacky rap-metal territory. Hardcore to a lot of East Coast bands in the 90s meant paying slow, moshy, tough guy metal, singing about their crews, getting stabbed in the back, and adopting a lot of...

...music and lyrics that had some very primeval and archetypal forces running through it. In that respect Amebix were very different to anyone else at the time, or in many respects, since PIH : After being a fan of Amebix for several years, I actually took the time the other day to try and find out a few things in the lyrics (perhaps this is...

Review of Rudimentary Penis No More Pain EP

The Article has images
2008-05-29 17:31:43 by Oliver / Cult Punk in Cult Punk
...Musically, No More Pain is a heavy and menacing affair. The guitars are crushing, staying abrasively and stubbornly at the low end of the spectrum. A Handful of Dust, the first track, comes galloping out of the gates at a fast clip and Blinko begins to snarl in a genuinely creepy way equal parts spitting contempt, feral growl, and well, angry...

...music. The impression conveyed is more of someone howling darkly out of a slowly spinning gray and black vortex. If that sounds like your kind of thing, and you have never heard Amebix, then check this disc out. Not recommended if youre in a depressive funk, though On Arise! Amebix would perfectly hone their special hybrid of evil metal and...
