Dirge, named after a song performed at a funeral, are a long-standing French band from Paris. Formed in 1994, the band can look back on quite a few releases, some of them highly praised by critics, and appearances at important… Continue Reading →
I think it is fair to say that I have been enjoying the dark, delicious delights of Welsh band Tor Marrock pretty much since inception. They have now delivered three albums and I have caught them at a few shows,… Continue Reading →
