Hands Of Magnets

Have you ever found yourself coming to as you’re galloping down the street from an unseen foe, the pads of your feet blistering hot, knuckles bone-raw and letting fly the syrup of life? Seldom Landslide’s debut tends to have that affect on you, like a Jekyll and Hyde potion that leaves you alone, clothes ripped [...]

The sight of archaic musical equipment covered in crap is probably something better left to the imagination or the scrap heap - but that’s exactly what the band have been recording on/in during the last few weeks in Flint, Michigan. Formerly entitled “Death by Misadventure”, Credit to the Meter Readers changed their name after learning [...]

I took the CD out of the case, put it in the stereo and pressed play. After a few seconds of The Defective’s musical stirrings, I listlessly slid off the couch onto the floor and lay face-first on my living room carpet. I’ve never actually looked closely at a carpet ever, which seems kind of [...]

What a week! The front door catches fire after being doused in neat vodka - my wife breaks her jaw by crashing her Peugeot 205 in to cow and (to prove that these things come in three’s) I get the blame for my neighbors child drinking the creosote she stole from my shed. Who am [...]

Lakerdale is shown (aged 11) in full Altar gear giving praise to the Lord, although the renowned Satanist is not [...]

New recording from the Boston trio. More laced than poisoned, less paint than dry, these dropouts know how to give your speakers a punch in the kidneys just to make sure you’re listening correctly - that is, bent double in agonising pain while the rest of the world spins around you. Remember that feeling you [...]

It may only be January, but here’s an early candidate for album of the year. If you’ve been living up a Chinese pipe for the last few months you would’ve missed the buzz and excitement that surrounded The Hands Of God on their tour last year. Eclectically choosing to play only in motorway service stations [...]

The lost Dutch physician finally makes his debut after years of rallying behind the banner of the Martineau Syndicate. Shrouded in mystery, even Soulaway weren’t privy to the location of Crash’s first solo swoop of the axe - indeed, all instruments and production duties (even down to the dogsbody tape techs) were undertaken by Locus [...]
