Re-release of the debut album by Re: Aktor

Re: Aktor is definitely one of the most intriguing bands on the entire Portuguese metal scene. Their extremely well-balanced mixture of industrial and thrash metal makes up for a true musical phenomenon, comparable to the style of such acts as Fear Factory or Mnemic. With “Zero Order”, the group gave the world one of the finest releases in the history of modern metal, perfectly joining brutal heaviness with cybernetic melodies.…

Mount Eerie launches massive Fall tour including shows with No Kids, Karl Blau, Tara Jane ONeil, WHY? and more!

What if the sound of wind through trees could be translated into human words? What is it saying? For WIND’S POEM by Mount Eerie, Phil Elverum spent almost two years out behind the house, at the edge of the woods, listening into the night and finding these words. Songs of impermanence, dark change, destruction, temporary blossoming, mortality, and an immense river of air tearing through the world make up the…

EeL – People People (CD)

EeL has an intense opening to their “People People” album that mixes amphetamine with vocal samples to come out with something that sounds like a better Dance Dance Revolution song. Immediately shown as a problem is that EeL uses a mite too much repetition to get their songs home; “EeL START IT UP!’s” 3:09 should have been condensed to make for a more effecting song. “People People” is a retooling…

Bad Veins Teams Up With The Subjects For Daytrotter-Sponsored Tour

Bad Veins’ first radio track, “Gold and Warm,” was singled out in Spin magazine as one of September’s “Songs You Must Hear Now!,” praising the boys for flipping, “Pavement’s slacker racket into mainstream magic.” The band’s non-traditional live set-up of telephones, megaphones and a vintage reel-to-reel player named “Irene,” have garnered them much attention, but it’s their undeniable songwriting chops that have made them truly stand out. Or as MTV…
