What a difference five years can make. Akrotheism sprang into action in 2014 with a delicious platter that set out to tear your soul to shreds while casually leaving you skipping and whistling down the road at the same time… Continue Reading →
Being invited to play at the Roadburn festival in the Netherlands is like a badge of honour for interesting and unusual bands. This certainly applies to GOLD, who play at the festival this year. I am familiar with their two… Continue Reading →
Better known for his immersive live solo performances that defy genre, and releases titled ‘Fuck You Morrissey’ and ‘Fuck You Bono’ (just two of the records from his 75 strong back catalogue), Jay Gambit is prolific within the noise scene…. Continue Reading →
