Empty Streets Go Old School New Wave And Synth In A Modern Electro And Darkwave World On Age of Regret

4 August 2021 By jesse Leave a Comment

I can’t really think of another artist out there today that sounds quite like Depeche Mode’s resident iconic voice box Dave Gahan. That is, until I heard Aaron Thompson belt out some verses during the opening track off the latest EP from Empty Streets! Modern Electro and Darkwave combined with Old School New Wave and Synth-driven Pop, Age Of Regret is a blast from the past made in the present that’s resilient, rowdy, and immediately resonates.

The Brains Celebrate Psychobilly In Style With Outstanding Satana Tarantula

8 April 2020 By jesse Leave a Comment

If you were ever curious, I listen to EVERYTHING that comes across my virtual desk. Doesn’t matter if it’s a genre I’m particularly invested in because in the interest of remaining objective to all, I say “What the hell!” and give it a shot. That said, I think I like Psychobilly??? I really dug the latest offering from BAT! last year and damn if the eighth record from Canadian trio The Brains doesn’t give me the feels as it delivers the solid goods. It also helps that both The Brains and BAT! share members.

3 Paragraph Reviews: BAT! Bat Music for Bat People

4 June 2019 By jesse Leave a Comment

I don’t do Rockabilly or, more accurately here, Psychobilly. Actually, scratch that. I tend to gravitate towards sounds that move me in some sort of way regardless of genre. That said, and to clarify, I do not have an abundance of Rocka/Psychobilly in my current physical or digital collection of music. But being an Industrial/Goth kid, BAT! speaks to me. And considering they’re listed as “Gothabilly” with a sound like Misfits meeting Oingo Boingo, this outfit is the perfect blend for me. And you!

3TEETH Present Your Industrial Album Of 2017: shutdown.exe

1 June 2017 By jesse Leave a Comment

Never mind 2017, <shutdown.exe> might be the most important Industrial album of the last decade. When people look back at which bands were an integral part of the Industrial resurgence, they will look at 3TEETH in awe. And in a year that is producing new offerings from KMFDM, ohGr, potentially Front Line Assembly, and Ministry (Not just any Ministry album either. Trump administration Ministry. Let that swirl in your headspace for a few…), 3TEETH threaten to overshadow them all. [Read more…]
