EYES AND EARS


KONG myspace

I went to see KONG for the second time last friday at the Brudenell Social Club. I find it really hard to describe them to anyone. The best I can come up with is "like Shellac but a LOT darker", but even still that's not quite right. Their records are angular and a bit scary and heavy on the riff, but the live show is just so creepy and amazing, it's the best introduction. I love it and idiots instantly dont get it.. I also hear you can download one of their tunes via http://www.conversemusic.com/ , but that's your descision.

Edit - I found the video I wanted to show you.


Scope on that.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO NO.

This is HYPNOWAVE.
The music covered here will be from the unsung heroes of hip no wave, noise rock, broken hardcore and any other interesting noises.

I make no money from this. I do it because not enough people have heard these bands, and I think they are the future. Dont sue me, it's not worth your while.

Sorry this blog was previously so shit. I'm making more effort now.

With that out of the way, BANDS.





AN EXPERIMENT ON A BIRD IN THE AIR PUMP myspace

Three London goth girls swapping vocals, fuzz-bass and tribal drums to stir up some tense bad-trip lady punk. They have a new single, Lights Out, which is one minute eight seconds of exciting.

Lights Out MP3

They also write a blog, available right here.




AIDS WOLF myspace

Third reprise.
AIDS Wolf is music to listen to on your own, it's alienating bedroom noise. But it's everything punk rock should be. Fuck Gallows, this is real hardcore. I had a little conversation with Chloe, and she's really nice. Get the Lovvers LP first, then ease yourself into their new slice, Cities Of Glass.
I can't reccomend them for everyone, but if you like this then I like you. I want to be Chloe Lum. She's awesome. Also, they have awesome artwork, courtesy of their own screenprinting business, Seripop. I fucking love this band.

PRE myspace


Speaking of which, Skingraft are my new favourite record label. This band are new and from London and have put out some records with them. I could vaguely compare their sound to Melt Banana, but that's mainly to do with singer Exeedingly Good Keex, and the fact that they rock out in a noisy way. I also know they have two bass players, and that they contain members of bands like Seafood and Comanechi. I wish my band was on Skingraft :(

Drool MP3





DEATH SENTENCE PANDA myspace

I've been talking about this band since I saw them by accident at the Cardigan Arms a few years ago. They play rhythm-heavy no wave hardcore with no guitars at all. Instead they use pitchshifted clarinet, sax, flute, glockenspiels, pounding punk drums and Kim West's urgent scream. But sometimes it's really pretty too. I recommend their Insects Awaken album to everyone I meet. It's equivalent to the last Les Savy Fav LP in terms of consistant quality. It's that good. Get on it. God bless you, pandas.

INFANTS myspace

The final band I give you is Infants. They hail from Tokyo, Oslo and the UK, and they make spazzy no rave with noise guitars, effects pedals, synths, crazy drums and lots of shouting. Apparently they have an album coming out one of these days. They also play in Gum Takes Tooth, Real Feal, Cuntray, DJ Spudboy,and Agaskodo Televerik. No mp3 from them because they have eff all released, but you can buy their 7" Friend Paste, and scope four tunes on their myspace.
