Girl Band are one of the best live bands we’ve seen in recent times, creating propulsive, and almost terrifyingly energetic noise-rock that pulls as much influence from classic techno as from their more obvious post-punk, noise and industrial predecessors. Their debut album Holding Hands with Jamie, is out on 25th September on Rough Trade. This is the video for new single Paul. . Continue reading New Video: Girl Band – Paul

Sun Moon Stars is the second single from their debut album Let Sleeping Dogs Lie (available on a name-your-price deal on Bandcamp here) and if the boys are to be believed, they just want to make enough cash from music to “be able … Continue reading New Single From Junkyard Choir
James Leg (aka John Wesley Myers of the Black Diamond Heavies) is set to release his second proper solo album, Below The Belt, later this summer. It is more blisteringly fierce and sleazy blues distinguished by his trademark gruff howl, mixed with equal measures of bourbon, butane and nicotine. On his new album, the ghosts of Leg’s past haunt these ten tracks. From the rafter-raising gospel cover … Continue reading James Leg – Below The Belt
