Alors que la plupart des artistes pop cherchent à plaire au plus grand nombre sans jamais faire la moindre vague, Morrissey a toujours manié l'art de la provocation, de l'ambiguïté et du paradoxe avec brio réussissant ainsi au fil des années à attirer autant de fans que de détracteurs. Il existe même un club d'... Continue Reading →
Hard Times “Little Satan” EP
Members of SUICIDE GENERATION, SICK BAGS and DESPERATE FÜN have united to bing us four songs out of Covid lockdown boredom. As you can guess, this is not a jazz record. "Little Satan" opens in a DEAD BOYS way, young, loud and snotty! Then "Oh Let It Go" brings us some trashy glam à la... Continue Reading →

Mr. Wolf (drums) and Mr. Wolf (guitar) decided to go on a Balkan trip with a few Mexican spirits. They brought a couple of friends with them and here they are...

The Roxies “Don’t Wanna Dance Because I’m Told To”
This punk rock band from Berlin is definitely influenced by the '77 scene but you'll also get an indie vibe when listening to these songs. A bit of PIXIES in "Underdog" or even a little ARCTIC MONKEYS in "Scapegoat." The vocals are snotty enough to please any PISTOLS/BUZZCOCKS fan and you'll find enough guitar melodies...

Fast Eddy “Take A Look”
First album by FAST EDDY from Denver who flew to Atlanta during the pandemic to record 10 songs with Tuk Smith and Dan Dixon.

Too Sophisticated “Like It Or Not”
TOO SOHISTICATED is a hard rock band from Finland. They started back in the 90s so they have released a few records but this is their first full-length album.

Star Park “S/T” EP
If you've been following the glam trash glitter bubblegum and power pop subculture this zine celebrates for a long enough time, you might remember the O'Donnal Brothers, of Bang Bang Satellite fame, who always write catchy, memorable, and deeply heartfelt songs about smalltown melancholy and day job disappointments, modern heartbreak, and existential despair. If you're... Continue Reading →
