Suffering For Kisses – Culture

Tom

As the sun finally comes out and shines down on old London town the music I am listening too gets a tad gloomier! I have been enjoying Suffering For Kisses music for a while now and I am not sure why I haven’t mentioned them before. Their music, well one Tony D’Oporto’s, is Gothic tinged post-punk driven by both guitars and synths. The vocal style is deadpan, almost spoken whilst the words are despairing, dejected. Even in the sun Culture gets me thinking of pouring rain and graveyards. And do you know what? That’s just how I like it. Facebook Continue reading Suffering For Kisses – Culture

Kill Shelter – In Decay/Bodies

Tom

Following on from last years debut album Damage released on French Label Unknown Pleasures Records Kill Shelter, aka Edinburgh based Pete Burns, has now released two tracks lifted from said album on Dutch label Burning World Records as a double-sided 7″ single. Both tracks are collaborations. In Decay features American outfit Delphine Coma whilst Bodies feature Australians Buzz Kull. These two songs, according to the label, explore death from different perspectives. But, that’s not all they have in common. Both are gloomy affairs mixing gothic rock and darkwave to great effect. The scowling vocals especially so. If, depressingly dark music … Continue reading Kill Shelter – In Decay/Bodies

The EP is out soon on 7″ vinyl via London based label Inflammable Material. Facebook Continue reading Pawns – Monuments Of Faith

Current Affairs – Breeding Feeling

Tom

We hear and read about a lot of bands being influenced and/or replicating the C86 sound. Here is a band, who draw (ex) members of acts like The Royal We, Rose McDowall’s band, Anxiety, Kaspar Hauser and Shopping in their ranks, that go back further to the sounds found during the era of the C81 tape. Their sound draws inspiration from the shadowy and gothic elements of post punk bands – think The Cure and thanks to the vocals the likes of Siouxsie and The Banshees and early Altered Images. That’s not to say this is a carbon copy of … Continue reading Current Affairs – Breeding Feeling
