Livitz Livitz plays an interesting brand of rock that bounces around quite a few styles on “Footlong”. While there is some kernel of party, Sublime-ish type rock throughout, songs like “Dirty Kelly” push on the hardcore choruses lad forth by Minor Threat. It is only a matter of time before the band is into “Livitz Dub”, a reggae-influenced track that also throws in a country influence to things. If individuals…

The debut single from My Jerusalem ‘Love You When You Leave’ is already receiving airplay on both BBC2 and BBC6 radio. ‘Love You When You Leave’ is a wonderfully knowing, bittersweet love song of sorts in which bassist Ashley Dzerigian plays Nancy Sinatra to Jeff’s Lee Hazelwood, the affair clocking in at a succinct 2.15. ‘It was one of the first songs we recorded as a band”, Jeff enthuses, “Everyone…

THIS DRAMA hails from the Canary Islands, but these aren’t sunshine-soaked tourist tunes. Produced by The Bronx guitarist Joby Ford, who is known for his proficiency at translating ferocity to tape, Tarantula Mata is a relentless yet slitheringly seductive presentation of pure punk rock. Glorious. Furious. Uncompromising. Laced with hardcore tinges and a hint of late 80’s gutter, it’s the type of music you see described as Punk ‘n’ Roll…
Kiss of Death Records comes out with some interesting bands that are not on the radar in the slightest. Light Yourself on Fire is one of those bands, and it is surprising that the band has not gotten more in the way of press at the time, given its pedigree.

Last month via YouTube, the country music legends debuted their new controversial video, ‘Jalapenos’ and have since racked up over 400,000…
