DZ Deathrays share new video featuring Matt Caughthran of The Bronx - Soundblab - Soundblab
Ahead of the release of their forthcoming album, Positive Rising: Part 1, due for release August 30th, DZ Deathrays have shared a brand new video featuring Matt Caughthran of The Bronx. Check out the video for Year of The Dog below. Shane Parsons had this to say: “Matt from The Bronx—one of our all-time favourite bands—drove an hour from his house, came into the vocal booth and nailed his part on, like, the first go. I felt bad for making him drive so far.
Perry Farrell - Kind Heaven - Soundblab - Soundblab
There are few voices as iconic as that of Perry Farrell. Since the singer first burst onto the alt-rock scene with Jane’s Addiction some thirty years ago, Farrell has been a fixture of the genre, spearheading festivals (like Lollapalooza) and doing loads of humanitarian work along the way. And while the artist has continued to remain active in recent years, the music projects have become fewer and farther between.
Band of Skulls - Love Is All You Love - Soundblab - Soundblab
It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Well, with their fifth studio album, British rock band Band of Skulls certainly seem to have their hearts in the right place. Love Is All You Love is meant to stand as an "anti-war cry for our turbulent times," according to the band: “All the energy we spend fighting amongst ourselves can be used to do something positive, something real.
The Strange - Echo Chamber - Soundblab - Soundblab
The aesthetic of the Tom Waits albums “Heartattack and Vine” or “Blue Valentine” is a rare one. Tales of destitution, wretchedness and flimsy love set to mournful jazz that, in spite of a downbeat tenor, still brings nostalgia for a bygone era. Astute observations of small-town phenomena. ‘Broken Town Blues’, on the album Echo Chamber by The Strange, accompanied dolorously by trumpet, is a track that holds a kinship with those albums.
The Lemonheads - University Stylus, Leeds - Soundblab - Soundblab
I’ve been listening to The Lemonheads for a long time, the likes of It’s a Shame About Ray and Come On Feel have been on fairly heavy rotation since I first heard them. The melodic indie stylings held within having provided something of a personal soundtrack for, give or take, the last 20 years. With that in mind, it would be fair to say that I’ve got pretty high hopes for tonight’s gig. No pressure then, Mr. Dando. Before Evan and Co take to the stage it’s time for South Carolina’s Heyrocco.
White Denim announce new album 'Side Effects' and share tracks - Soundblab - Soundblab
White Denim have revealed details of their forthcoming eighth album. Side Effects will be released March 29th via City Slang and comes less than a year since their last album, Performance. The band have shared two new tracks, Shanalala and NY Money, which can both be streamed below.
The Lemonheads - Varshons 2 - Soundblab - Soundblab
If there ever was an artist for whom the term slacker rock was designed for, then it is Even Dando, the man behind The Lemonheads, quite a few of their remarkable albums and no less remarkable two solo albums (one live). You see, Dando is a man of incredible talent that simply doesn’t care to explore it to its full potential. Impeccable songwriting and great vocals have been enough to carry him through, and that seems to have always been enough for him.
Killing Joke - O2 Academy, Bristol - Soundblab - Soundblab
To watch Killing Joke take to the stage is like seeing the Mount Rushmore of post punk assemble before your eyes. Masterful drummer who can switch from tribal power to fluid subtlety on a dime, or a penny if you prefer, guitarist carving arcs of controlled noise from the air, always precise never gratuitous, bassist driving beneath it all with just the right amount of space around the notes, and a singer for whom the term is woefully inadequate.
BEAK> - >>> - Albums - Reviews - Soundblab
Often tagged as Krautrock, or "out-rock" by the band's current record label, BEAK> return with their third album, the aptly titled >>>. Continuing with the live recording method they've stuck to on their last couple albums, >>> sounds unmistakably like BEAK>, but with clearer vocals and a sharper focus on melody. It's still full of the quirky oddness that makes BEAK> a band that can't really be compared to many artists working today.
