Viva Belgrado

Cancionero De Los Cielos
Fueled By Salmorejo (2024)

Somehow I never reviewed Viva Belgrado before, even though I have followed them since their debut album Flores, Carne. Somehow I was always a bit late to the show and thought: ok, this time I am too late, but next time I will catch this release on time! Well, the band just released their fourth full length and guess what? I found out … Read more

Every Face Becomes A Skull

Every Face Becomes A Skull
Independent (2023)

Confession time: I was going to burn this record to the ground. I wasn’t writing a review yet, just listening to the album, but I had some really not nice things to say. And then everything changed. Why? Well, I decided to see if my problems with the album could be solved by playing it from another source. I thought … Read more

The Manikins

Swedish Woods
Lövely (2023)

The Manikins previous album, 2019s Bad Times, was my encounter with The Manikins. We started off a bit weird, as I read their name as The Mankinis for a while. I expect different music from a band with a name like that. I did like that album after I ditched my assumptions and stopped messing up the band name. It gave … Read more

Nobro

Set Your Pussy Free
Dine Alone (2023)

Last year I discovered Nobro through their EP Live Your Truth, Shred Some Gnar. I cheated a bit and included this EP on my (albums only) yearlist. I still return to that EP (and the one before that) often. So you can imagine, my expectations were sky high. And that made me afraid: was I expecting too much from this young band? … Read more

Table Talk #16 – New Year's Resolutions?

Regular Columns / Table Talk • February 26, 2024

Last year was a strange year. A lot happened in my private life which led to me not doing as much as I wanted to do. Some negative, but mostly positive. However, no matter how positive the events were, it cost me a lot of energy. With my energy and attention drained at other places, I did not have a … Read more

Perennial

Interviews • February 12, 2024

Earlier this year I reviewed The Leaves Of Autumn Symmetry. I really enjoyed the EP. So, when the band contacted us if I wanted to do an interview my first thought was it could be awesome to catch a glimpse behind the creative process of this band. You can read the end result of our short and pleasant exchange here. Scene … Read more

Table Talk #15 – Changes

Regular Columns / Table Talk • October 18, 2023

It is that time of the year again, that time of changes. The seasons change. For some reason I am much more aware of this when summer transitions into autumn than when winter becomes spring for example. It is like saying goodbye to warmer weather and saying hello to yellow and red leaves (and halloween decorations) is so much more … Read more

The Crimson Ghosts

Interviews • September 25, 2023

It should not be a secret I like horrorpunk. The Crimson Ghosts are one of the bands that I've loved since I first heard their debut soon after it was released. After reading my review of Forevermore, their latest album, their guitar player Jackal reached out asking if I would be interested in doing an interview with him. I had to … Read more

A Carvels Christmas

Posted in MP3s on December 20, 2020

The Carvels NYC might not be enjoying the fact that playing live in 2020 was not possible. However, you will not hear any complaints from my side when it means they are this productive. Earlier this year they made the best of the situation releasing their debut full-length. And now … Read more
