EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE: The Color Blew – “The Man”

Posted on by

Alternative Rock band The Color Blew just released their new album Light Switch, last week, November 1st. The Johannesburg-based quartet just dropped a new video for their single ‘The Man’ and Ghost Cult is gonna bring it to ya! Frustrated with a system that has let everyone done, ‘The Man’ is as political and topical as you can get for 2019, reflecting the angst many feel. The video was shot by renowned videographer and director Dizzy Khaki during the band’s performance at Speedofest. Check it out!Continue reading →


Killing Joke – RDF Live at KK’s Steel Mill, Wolverhampton

Posted on by

A single support in RDF (Radical Dance Faction) are in store for the hundred or so that are here with me by the time they come on stage, the numbers a touch disappointing for a gig that is sold out for the full tour. Against their name, their music is actually more eclectic Dub, making little sense at first in terms of who they are supporting, though this notion changes as they get further into their set, with a bit more of their stated Punk side coming out to play. While not awful, the audience around me doesn’t seem particularly engaged, with plenty of chatting going on, though there is some polite applause at the end of each track, while a few people do seem to genuinely enjoy some tracks. They occasionally bring on another vocalist to help out, though not to any particularly great effect. In all, a fairly forgettable support act, which is a shame given they have existed for over three decades at this point, as they just don’t feel right for the act they are supporting.Continue reading →

A Storm Of Light – Anthroscene

Posted on by

Josh Graham has long been a leading light in underground art and music. Highly influential as a musician, graphic designer, and live show art designer, when you are able to walk in this many wolds and do so with authority, you are bound to make as many champions as you are detractors. Josh’s talent is not up for debate, however, as his body of work already is admirable and lasting. With A Storm of Light, most of these releases are noteworthy, but none of the previous albums may make an impact the way the new album Anthroscene (Consouling Sounds/Translation Loss) will.Continue reading →
