From Killing Joke’s very own Bandcamp site: “16 years on from its deliverance, Killing Joke release the deluxe version of arguably one of their darkest albums to date, ‘Hosannas From The Basements of Hell’. In addition to the 9 bludgeoning tracks featured on the original incarnation of ‘Hosannas…’ the deluxe Continue Reading

Mother Mother – Hayloft I (Official Video)
It’s been years since I watched a relatively new music video. As someone old enough to remember when MTV first started (“Video Killed The Radio Star,” indeed…), I used to love the cheesiness of the early videos. Filmmakers, however, caught on to how great a new medium the music video Continue Reading
The Alarm – Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)
For those of us who celebrate Christmas according to the Julian Calendar, may you all have a wonderful Christmas!
Ken Clinger – KC.60
Ken Clinger is one of those Bandcamp artists who release a ton of stuff, but he has quite a few gems in this catalog. This one reminds me of artists like Visage and Gary Numan.

A Continue Reading
Gwatta – Out Of Body
Living in a new country allows me to explore and immerse myself in the local music scene. On top of that, the legendary Steve Layton recommended this hidden gem to me, which is why I’m excited to share my latest discovery from the Tbilisi dream pop scene: Gwatta. Her sound Continue Reading
Bloemfontein – Improvisational Sessions Volume Three
Unfortunately, the Canadian band Bloemfontein is no longer active, as they appear to be on a permanent hiatus. Still, the band produced several albums of excellent post-rock music—not the metal variety, but rather the atmospheric instrumental style that I personally prefer much more.
