Whispering Sons – “Endless Party” album review

Whispering Sons – “Endless Party” album review

  Even though Whispering Sons are a fairly young band, it really means nothing when it comes to their music making. From the first song on the album, I got a feel they have been around for much longer. It may have to do with the sound they are really devoted to, a sound that was influenced by some of the genres we thought were indeed a forgotten story. But yet, this band is reinventing…

ChameleonsVox live at O2 Academy, Oxford, UK, 1/5/2016

ChameleonsVox live at O2 Academy, Oxford, UK, 1/5/2016

Just a week apart from their Kortrijk gig in Belgium, I really wanted to see ChameleonsVox again, this time in UK and with no camera, so I can enjoy the experience to the fullest. I arrived pretty early and took a stroll on the streets of Oxford, but hey, who did I find there at 5 pm? Mark was already at the venue doors and not to disturb that kind man, I just passed him…

BeYond Soul

BeYond Soul

  BeYond Soul were born at the beginning of 2014 in Catania (Italy) from the idea of Kurten (Guitar), Gordon (Bass) and Lux (Synth). They began to consolidate the basis of BeYond Soul, intending to rely on claustrophobic sounds that draw heavily from the Goth/New Wave /Post Punk genres, trying to mix them with their own style. After a few months of working on their music ideas, they met Mark (Vox) , and BeYond Soul…

Reptilians From Andromeda – “Sonic Rabbit Hole” EP review

Reptilians From Andromeda – “Sonic Rabbit Hole” EP review

  A new release from this alternative treat from Istanbul, Turkey named “Sonic Rabbit Hole” is a five track EP released on April the 5th 2016. It was surely interesting enough to listen to and write a few lines about. Even though I don’t really know much about the band itself and this is the first thing I hear from them, the EP caught my attention. They draw their inspiration from alternative and garage rock,…

DaGeist – “40” album review

DaGeist – “40” album review

  Coming from Lille, France, another French band is on my menu. Their debut album “40” was released very recently, in December 2015, and I was wondering what was cooking in the French scene pot. The band label themselves as electro dark wave, I would not go much further than that description and there is a clear influence of the post punk and new wave here. The first track “Lake of Love” is indeed a…

Wild Roses For The Exit – “Wild Roses For The Exit” album review

Wild Roses For The Exit – “Wild Roses For The Exit” album review

  So, what’s new in UK? A fresh new project which started in 2014 but did not take long for the debut album released in November 2015. So what can we expect from this productive solo artist? In its core this project is a pure gothic rock with an extensive use of the synths that really combines well with the guitar riffs and all that gothic rock is characterised by. It is dark, it is…

Rodney Orpheus: The Cassandra Complex – 30 years in retrospective

Rodney Orpheus: The Cassandra Complex – 30 years in retrospective

  It’s been a long ride for The Cassandra Complex since the first album released in 1986 up until now. Only 30 years later, I am having a chat with Rodney Orpheus, who I think needs no further introduction. 1. On your web site you say about Grenade, and I cite “some of it sounds kinda naive over twenty years later“. Is that really how you feel about it? It surly does not sound naive…

Tame Impala – “Currents” album review

Tame Impala – “Currents” album review

  It is not easy to write a few words even about what I consider the best 2015. release. It was a great year for the music industry indeed, but between other great “mainstream” releases, this one should absolutely be named as a winner. They have been described as a psychedelic rock, and they label themselves funnily as epiphany pop, and epiphany it really is, at least as their last album is concerned. Even though…
