Cloud Control Release “There’s Nothing In The Water We Can’t Fight” Single & Video Bliss Release Out On Turnout November 22nd With Bonus EP

Hey, we’re Cloud Control. We met in High School. We grew up in the Blue Mountains and we always get asked about that. It might influence us a little bit being from there, maybe it just makes us more chilled. We got together to enter a band competition and we weren’t that great but somehow there was always something that kept us going – community radio, local clubs, friends we…

Secret Agent Bill – S/T (CD)

The music that one encounters on Secret Agent Bill’s disc is hard-hitting, to say the least. The swirling guitars may not be the most exciting, but the political message that winds its way throughout the track is something to behold. The harmony that the band creates during “Gentrify or Die” just through the vocals present is topped off by the ever-changing time signatures on the track. “Thought I Knew” mixes…

Screw Jack – Shock Value (CD)

Screwjack, formerly The Freedumb Fries, formerly The Freedom Fries, and even before that S.B.C., have been at the top of their game since their first EP, Dicktad, came out in 2001. While I can go back and listen to it now and see the solid songwriting for what it is on these early tracks, there is no denying that the members of Screwjack have came a long way in originality,…

The Juche Idea (DVD)

There have been no limits to the amount of films that look to parody or otherwise attack (either seriously or jocularly) Kim Jong-Il. A number of these titles paint the despot as a pitiable creature, and The Juche Idea adds a bit more to this style of film. For those that are not familiar, The Juche Idea is a blend of different religions and philosophies. This belief system was originally…

The Boxer and The Bombshell (DVD)

Hugo Weaving may just be the most versatile actor currently in Hollywood today. In The Boxer and The Bombshell, Weaving is a mobster that has control of a seedy underground set of businesses during the interwar years (teens/twenties). Paired alongside Matt le Nevez and Rose Byrne, Weaving is able to lead the film to a surprising compelling tenor. However, it is not only the performances that are turned in by…

Jack Yarber has pretty much done it all. Ey has spent tours in The Compulsive Gamblers, Jack O and the Tennessee Tearjerkers and The Oblivians. Rat City drops all the extra musicians and hangers-on and showcases Oblivian at eir most honest. What results with Rat City is a tremendously touching and emotionally intense album, with tracks that run the range of styles and feelings that listeners have came to expect…

W’s Guru Organic Full-Zip Hoodie | W’s Cottonwood Cord Pant

We have reviewed singular clothing products in NeuFutur in the past, but I believe that Mountain Khakis has provided an amazing outfit for the autumn and winter months. This outfit combines the W’s Guru Organic Full-Zip Hoodie and W’s Cottonwood Cord Pant; both of these products have a contemporary but not overly flashy look. This translates well to whichever event one finds themselves in; our reviewer was able to rock…

This means that Sleep Essentials has Valerian, Chamomile, Hops, L-Taurine,…
