Damn Teeth - Real Control
Album Review: Thank - Thankology
Album Review: Thank – Thankology
Words: Nate Holdren Thank play a skeezy and demented skronk-rock that’s weirdly toe-tapping. Dissonant layers of sandpaper guitar and broken glass synths grate and stab over a throbbing, staggering rhythm section who just want to dance, but, like, in an aggressively drunken and leering sort of way. Meanwhile the vocalist spits the ugliest of feelings – all the bile and anti-social self-loathing…

Words: Andy Hughes
One thing that has done my nut in during this pandemic (other than the incompetence of our government and seemingly most governing bodies around the world) is these badly produced videos being put out that ape zoom/skype video calls. I get it – times are tough and budgets have evaporated, but ideas too? A little bit of effort goes a long way.

Exclusive: Watch the hypnotising new video for 'Broken Glass' from MASKS
Exclusive: Watch the hypnotising new video for ‘Broken Glass’ from MASKS
Words: Andy Hughes
Having watched ‘Videodrome’ the other night (the ’83 Cronenberg cult-hit), I must admit to being mildly unnerved by the latest video from MASKS. It’s a great video no doubt, but calls to mind video nasties of old. Produced by Australian experimental video artist Greg Hodgson, it’s unnerving but mingles expertly with the track ‘Broken Glass‘ for hypnotic results. Find out for…

Single Review: MASKS - Our Weekend Starts Tomorrow/Broken Glass
Single Review: MASKS – Our Weekend Starts Tomorrow/Broken Glass
Words: Nate Holdren
The debut single from MASKS is high-intensity post-punk, moody and atmospheric. The a-side, ‘Our Weekend Starts Tomorrow’,opens with a ringing that could be feedback, could be a synthesizer, with ominous and lightly overdriven drums booming menacingly. Then there’s a big guitar riff – chords sustained for days – with talk-sung vocals and tense beat, bass drums lurching and…

Anyway, in no particular order and with no mucking about, here’s my list (Editor note: Originally titled ‘If You Only Have Time To Listen To Five…
