Brother Dege Shares Another Single From New Album

Hailing from the Cajun swamplands and raging like the mad lovechild of Son House and Faulkner, Brother Dege has burned a crooked trail to the Promised Land. Avoiding traditional career paths, he’s spent decades exploring the backwoods weirdness of the southern U.S, working odd jobs and forging his own brand of southern/psyouthern music. Since the mid 90s, Dege has pushed slide guitar, resonators, and roots … Continue reading Brother Dege Shares Another Single From New Album

Remembering >>> Division Four

Division Four was a band from Perth, Australia that only managed a single six-song cassette demo, released in 1983, and which is now seeing the light of day once more. While their output might be minimal, those six tracks were of menacing, top-notch post-punk that could only have been alien sounds at the time. It is re-released later this month – pre-order from Bandcamp here. … Continue reading Remembering >>> Division Four
