We here at NeuFutur do not get many Australian bands sending us material for coverage; despite possessing millions upon millions of citizens, this continent seems to be particularly barren when it comes to bands that possess the fire to become something bigger than mainstays at their local bar or venue.
Edited by Fredrik’s O. Lindefelt, the camera lens softly follows a wolf figurine into the woodsy terrain of the band’s scenic hometown of Malmö. This is the link for the full album stream.
“I Won’t Remember Much!” is the first track on the iParty EP, and it immediately will hook listeners of individuals like Jay Sean, Taio Cruz, or even Owl City. With a blend of electronic and pop sounds present, “Remember Much” will ensure that listeners stick with Jay Aura through all of the four tracks on this EP. At a svelte three minutes, this track opens the iParty EP nicely and…
Since the release of their debut album In Hatreds Flame during July 2008, EXMORTUS have kept busy touring and gigging relentlessly with bands such as label mates Vektor and LA black thrashers Witchaven. After suffering a temporary setback with the departure of former frontman Balmore during early 2010, the band rebounded quickly with lead guitar shredder Conan taking over on vocals and the addition of new guitarist Sean Redline. The…
Crisscrossing through multiple layers of the punk genre like a couple of girls playing double-dutch, Brooklynites Man the Change tackle their first full-length Weather the Storm with an energy that only exists in bands that truly love what they’re doing. Hooky and riff ridden, Man the Change encompasses the melodic qualities of pop-punk while pairing them with nitty-gritty vocals that growl and grind their way through every verse. A more…
Neutral Uke Hotel, along with Golden Bloom and Michael J Epstein Memorial Library (members of which also make up Neutral Uke Hotel) who took the world by storm last summer with their live performances of Neutral Milk Hotel’s In the Aeroplane Over The Sea will bring their ukuleles, melodicas and trumpets to Cleveland’s Grog Shop on April 22nd for a fun, yet reverential take on the classic album. The Cleveland…
This latest Final Fantasy title takes place before the events that occurred in 2009’s Dissidia. The gameplay is based on solo (1v1) battles, which have players deciding between a buff (Bravery attacks) and an HP-reducing attack. This strategy is further varied with the inclusion of EX Cores on the battle field, which further buff characters’ attacks. What represents a new addition to the Dissidia line with Dissidia 012 is the…
We were able to get our Nintendo 3DS fired up and active, and were able to pretty immediately get our copy of Samurai Warriors: Chronicles ready to go. One of the numerous launch titles for the new console, Samurai Warriors: Chronicles absolutely sparkles with a number of different additions and fun new features previously not present in the Samurai Warriors line. Of key importance has to be the sheer amount…

A great many of the different companies that release childrens’ films try to release them with as few bells and whistles are is humanely possible. It is thus refreshing to see Paramount bundle together two different Peanuts titles – A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Snoopy, Come Home – in a value-priced ($15.49 currently at Amazon) title. The video prints are stellar considering the former was released in 1969 and…
It seems almost as if a number of musicians and bands take a few tracks to introduce themselves and come to the creation of a hit, but Kiseleff’s first effort on “A Sound Seal” is downright jaw-dropping. This track, “Quicksilver Universe”, builds off of the work of bands like New Order and Depeche Mode even while possessing a tempo that would make acts like Tiesto and Daft Punk jealous. “Savannah”…
World music has a number of distinct sounds and styles that comprise the overall genre, but Daniel Masson stands tall as one of the most unique musicians in the format. This is particularly true in his new album, “Frequencies”. From the first track, “Bluecolor” all the way out to the disc’s concluding cut, “The Backwaters”, there is no limitation to the different approaches and overall styles broached by Masson. “Jam…
“Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.” It’s not that hard of a concept. But for Donwill, these acts take on a much bigger role in his new single, “Breathe,” off of Donwill’s concept album, Don Cusack in High Fidelity. The Cincinnatian turned Brooklynite released his debut solo album a little over a year ago, and continues to embrace the infamously heartbroken Rob Gordon character from the cult classic film High Fidelity. He…

Blurring the boundary between art-metal and neo-classical, Japanese post-rockers MONO hailing from Tokyo, have long established themselves as the leading voice of epic majestic noise. For over 12 years in fact. Their instrumental compositions are powerful, sweeping studies in the limits of the musical spectrum; from rumbling subsonic lows to dizzying harmonic highs. Over the years, they have developed their vast and beautiful noise into something entirely majestic. Their colossal…

In support of their critically-hailed debut BODILESS, Connecticut’s own genre-bending electronic band TWITCH THE RIPPER (TTR) will be hitting the road this Spring and Summer with dark luminaries such as Ego Likeness with The Ludovico Technique, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult with 16 Volt, and a one-off with current buzz band The Funeral Party (tour dates below). “For our first US tour, we couldn’t be more excited,” says…
When Leonard Cohen speaks, people that know anything about music listen. So it’s little wonder that Canadian siren NEeMA is on a sharp ascent. Cohen recently had this to say about the Montreal-based, Lebanese songstress: “in the midst of all the static, a voice of true feeling arises – a rare event!” Hard to argue with, especially once the music reveals itself. An effortless blend of folk, world, jazz and…
