dianacrawls from Montreal are definitely one of the more interesting and different bands that I have listened in the last couple of weeks. With their new e.p. with No Funeral Records the band definitely broke all the boundaries in about 5 songs bordering in circa ten minutes time. One song being weird synth instrumental, one being screamo noisecore, one being a mixture of noise and nervous punkrock ending with screaming hardcore and even one country song. Can you do any better? Definitely one of the more interesting bands and these guys are not afraid to venture into unrest and they fly above all genre normatives which is great.

Sweden´s Voith released the new 2 track single “Wir Sind Die Roboter” from the upcoming album “Le Photographe” scheduled out on 20th April.

On this new single the two songs match the direction Lars Voith, the mastermind of the project wanted it to go. This means dark and electronic synthpop with a lot of ambient and experimental parts with a nod to the classics of the genre Kraftwerk, whose work influenced so many that came after them. As far as I am concerned, I like this stuff. As a lifelong Depeche Mode fan since I was a kid, I can listen to such darker side of synthpop and learn to love it. I cant wait how the whole album will sound like. Here is the little teaser:

(record review)CRNI DANI U VATIKANU-“S/T e.p.”

Leave a comment

With a name like this, in Croatian language meaning Black Days in Vatican, this Croatian band hailing from Virovitica could be easily mistaken for some wicked black metal or death metal band.

Well, wicked they are, but the music this band plays is total avantgarde and experimental kind of punkrock mixed with pop and some subtle indierock and death metal elements. If I should compare their music with someone, Dekubitus and Schmrtz Teatar come to mind, only this guys handle their instruments and have song structures way better than aforementioned bands.

The ep contains 8 songs with lyrics in Croatian language. The vocals are done in a weird way with singer singing the lines in some bizarre upper regions, shouting but also kinda chanting. Throw in some disturbing keyboard backgrounds and you get an original and memorable piece of music. I would really like to hear and see this live, because I am sure that would be an awesome experience.
