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

Echoberyl – Dark Embrace Me

Tom

Apparition is released at the end of July on SwissDarkNights. Pre-order it from here. Homepage Continue reading Echoberyl – Dark Embrace Me

TRIT95 – Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel is the follow up to last December’s Forever single. Like its predecessor it’s like listening to a forgotten coldwave gem from the 1980s on Les Disques du Crépuscule and is sadly over before it begins. However, it’s the flip side New Surroundings that needs to be heard. Imagine if you will that before the tragic death of Ian Curtis and after progressing with tracks that eventually became the b-sides of Komakino Joy Division morphed into New Order. Then, with Curtis on vocals, this could well have what they would have sounded like. Dance to the radio! Guardian Angel … Continue reading TRIT95 – Guardian Angel

Sunflower – The Spiders We Caught

Tom

We stay in Belgium today but with a band from Bruges rather than Brussels! Their label is however based in the Belgian capital. Building on their 2017 track Heroin, which has been re-recorded for this EP, Sunflower deliver a modern twist on post-punk. The band’s music has that epic, stadia feel to it and the afore mentioned Heroin is very catchy indeed. However, when they deliver a poppier take on tunes that are soaked in psychedelia, Sunflower get very good indeed especially on the dreamy and trippy Monica Electronica. Interesting stuff. The Spiders We Caught EP is out now on … Continue reading Sunflower – The Spiders We Caught
