“As if the angry music you listened to in high school grew up and started listening to NPR”
Riding the psychotic Americana rails: Dino DiMuro delivers a raw, note-chasing Beefheart resurrection on Old Fart At Play, while Beatle Bones 'n Smokin' Stones and Mirror Man dress the Captain's bones in bold new clothes. I Ya Toyah reaches through the invisible wall with the haunting, charity-driven WHITE WALLS, and Unquiet Nights conjures stirring synths and fret wizardry on Last Days of Rome. Chalice Sect closes their first chapter with pulsating EBM-charged darkwave on Finis Initii, while Avery Friedman glistens on her return single ahead of her first UK/EU tour.

“Where nostalgia and melancholy collide in an explosion of 90s alternative, shoegaze and grunge.”
“Recorded in Chiang Mai, Thailand - an unpolished, widescreen journey through raw garage rock and restless introspection.”
“A-side: a satirical look at a right wing grifter; B-side: an earnest call to stand again all the bad -isms on the rise in the world.”
“‘Lost Treasures’: lead track on this Christmas-themed EP from Irish combo the Sentimental Tourists. Featuring Dave Long (Into Paradise) and Paul Page (Whipping Boy).”
