(gig report)BITPART(France)+BETTER OFF DEAD(France)-03.05.2018.-Klub Prostor, Čakovec

Leave a comment

Četvrtak navečer je dan za gig, a ovaj četvrtak naš grad su posjetila dva francuska benda koja muzikom koju sviraju nekako odgovaraju mom ukusu, pa sam posjetio Prostor da poslušam i pogledam te bendove.

Kada sam došao u dvorište Prostora najavljeni početak je malo kasnio, a malobrojna ekipa je kratila vrijeme do giga družeći se i baveći se tekućim pitanjima. Oba benda čine petero ljudi koji dijele jednog člana.

Oko 21:30 na binu prvi stupaju BITPART iz Pariza, tročlani bend kojeg je gitarist/vokal onako nekako stidljivo na engleskom najavio pozdravljajući nas simpatično sa bok! Ovaj bend svira kontrljajući, uglavnom spori emo punk sa dualnim vokalima gitarista i basistice koji se super nadopunjavaju na refrenima lijepim melodijama i refrenima. Meni su taman nekako okej legli, ali u nekim pjesmama su mi bili malo previše noizični i previše grungy i indie, a ja sam ipak seljak koji više voli in your face melodičnu pankčinu.

Oni su otprašili svoj set, a već se dalje spremao drugi bend, a riječ je o BETTER OFF DEAD iz Angersa. Bubnjar prijašnjeg benda je prešao na bas, jedan dečko je sjeo za bubnjeve, a djevojka na gitaru i vokal. Kada su počeli prašiti, nisam mogao vjerovati o kakvom se odličnom bendu radi.

Pružili su nam cirka pola sata odličnog, brzog i energičnog melodičnog punka, na članovima benda se vidjelo koliko uživaju u svirci i koliko su se unijeli u svoj set i bilo mi je jako drago vidjeti bend koji daje sve od sebe bez obzira na prilično malobrojnu publiku koja ih s odobravanjem prati. Poslije kada sam razgovarao sa članovima oba benda saznao sam koliko su problema imali da dođu nama, pošto im se u Italiji pokvario kombi i pokrali su im stvari, uključujući putovnice nekih članova, pa su morali u francusku ambasadu u Ljubljanu i pizdarije su ih pratile po putu. Tim veći respekt i želim im svaku sreću dalje na touru. Okej gig za jedan četvrtak!

COLLAPSE UNDER THE EMPIRE New Single “The Forbidden Spark” Online!

Leave a comment

Collapse Under The Empire are back with an impressive new album! Chris Burda and Martin Grimm once again show their talent for diversity and release a record full of passion and haunting melodies. In the last three years the two musicians mostly concentrated on releasing other artists on their own record label Finaltune. They also prepared for their first live show ever that took place at the renowned DUNK!Festival in May 2016. In the last decade the band from Hamburg established themselves in the international Post-Rock-Scene with the release of five albums and a couple of EPs. Over the years Collapse Under The Empire developed their very own signature of electronic post-rock sound.

Collapse Under The Empire combine Synthwave- and Post-Rock in a very unique way and bring together fans of electronic sounds as well as fans of heavier music. The 9 tracks on The Fallen Ones conjure a dystopian journey that inspires to explore the landscapes of a pessimistic future. Highly interpretive and emotionally charged, The Fallen Ones evokes images of fear, insecurity and yearning. The album offers the listener the opportunity to delve into these emotions. The theme of the record fits quite well into today’s world, but besides anxieties and negativity about the future, the album also paints pictures of hope. It provides moments of being reminded to own inner strength and power.

Leave a comment

inc. no world’s amazing single Living has gotten the ol’ video treatment and it’s beeeautiful. Young Replicant (!!) is behind the camera and E1NEN HAB ICH NOCH has the premiere. The week just got a whole lot sweeter, so watch it here.

Brothers Andrew Aged (lead vocals/ guitar) and Daniel Aged (bass, production, vocals) aka Inc. No World have created a small ripple that is ever enveloping.
Drawing from a place of true introspection, the brothers carry a passion for music that is clear in message, kind in its intention, and backed by a discipled musicianship.

 

Bold, ethereal, soulful, uplifting and tender could describe the sound.

 

Distinguished UK label 4AD released the brothers’ debut album No World in 2013 to critical praise and open ears worldwide. As Light As Light their second album was released in fall 2016 on the brothers’ own label No World Recordings, marking a new iteration of the band while retaining their raw, soulful sound. Fresh off performing their original score of Gulliver’s Travels for LACMA’S Bring The Noise Series, Inc. No World are preparing to release their next effort titled Living in September 2017 across Europe.

 

Living invites new and familiar terrain for the brothers. Gospel, improvisation, instrumental elements cementing their sound as an inspired, uplifting voice in music.
