Technostress – Technostress — Postfact, 2008

First EP from this trio that consists of Treiops Treyfid (ex-Pitchblende) on bass and vocals, Aimee Soubier on guitar, and Karl Hill on drums (both recently of The Factory Incident). I'm hearing early PiL, some Peter Murphy, and an overall healthy respect for Manchester post-punk from the dawn of the 80's. "All is Styled" crackles and burns with some cool guitar riffage. "Devices Crawl" is another fantastic tune, that may remind some of Bowie when he worked with Eno, not when he was doing lame duets with Mick Jagger. Moody, overpowering, and mind altering. This is Technostress.

Names like The Angelic Process, and of course Low exemplify this strange balance in different ways. A … Read more

Stanzini Can Be Allright
Wild Honey Records (2025)

I believe the first I heard of this album was when Wild Honey released the limited edition It’s All About The Music concept 7” EP back in July. Exclusively released for the Punk Rock Raduno festival, IAATM is a three song 7” but only sort of? The concept: one garage-rock anthem, three versions- one is slowed down, one is regular … Read more
