See: Christian Death reveal new video for ‘Forgiven’
I have a long-standing but distant relationship with Christian Death. One dark 80s night, I found myself alone at Goth Night. My bleached perm was a beacon of light among the sea of jet black weave. I asked John the Goth what music he liked, and he declared his love for Christian Death. Intrigued, I …
Track: Diesel Park West – Suki / Scared of Time
Growing up as a bored teenager, I was always slightly disappointed that (from the little I knew) only Shawaddywaddy came from the city of my birth, Leicester. Oh, and Englebert Humperdink, who my Mum claimed she once saw in a cafe. That was until I was watching the Chart Show, and suddenly these leather-trousered, Rickenbacker-toting …
Album Review : Stray Cats – 40

See : Thumper release video for “Down”
Dublin based pop punks THUMPER (always in capitals) are back with a track; (You’re Bringing Me) Down, and have released this video – At 7 minutes, it ‘s both a gleeful lo-fi pop nugget and an over the top extravaganza in riffage. There’s a 3 minute radio version as well, but you’ll probably only want …
Track : Autoramas – Ding Dong
Brazilian garage legends Autoramas are back with a new track “Ding Dong”, ahead of their new album celebrating 20 years of fuzzy garage rock.
