New York shoegazers DIIV are a few years on from their last studio record, 2019’s Deceiver, but have had a very busy 2022 with a months-long European tour this Summer following on from a handful of North American festivals in the Spring. But for those of us who weren’t anywhere near those shows, they’ve got […]
Yesterday brought the first appreciable snowfall of the season here in Toronto, and while it’s actually rolling over into Summer down in New Zealand, Fazerdaze’s Amelia Murray must have known. Why else would she choose the day to release the new video for “Winter”, taken from last month’s comeback EP Break!? Or maybe she knew […]
It’s been a rough Autumn to be a Chameleons fan in North America, or Canada at least. Toronto, for sure. First, the band – less the “Vox” moniker on account of the return of guitarist Reg Smithies – was supposed to embark on a North American tour with The Mission, but that whole tour was […]
Tragically, there is a dearth of live Cocteau Twins footage only – certainly no complete shows from Rockpalast or the BBC archives – so while it’s grainy and the audio is not fantastic, this 20-minute clip taken from a Swedish television broadcast of a mini-gig at a small tavern called Lord Nelson in Örebro, Sweden […]
A tremendous loss for music and humanity this weekend, as Mimi Parker of Duluth’s Low passed away from ovarian cancer. My tenure as a fan of Low began around 2001, circa Things We Lost In The Fire and Trust, when the band got just louder and faster to appeal to my rock-tuned ears. And while […]
Even though this is only the second Hallowe’en I’ve been doing this blog, I have not been judicious about keeping content aside for the holiday because I’ve already gone through the lowest of hanging fruit. Thankfully, you don’t have to dig too deep into the Bauhaus catalog to find something suitably spooky and seasonal, so […]
When Ladytron wrapped their Light & Magic 20th anniversary reminiscences by tweeting, “The next message you get from us will be from the future. We promise”, they meant it quite literally. A couple weeks ago, they revealed their plans for their seventh album – Time’s Arrow will be out on January 20 of next year […]
There’s not a wealth of live Catherine Wheel material out there – barely any, really – so stumbling across this complete, almost two hours-long show from New York in the Summer of 2000 feels like a pretty sweet, unexpected gift. Okay, first the downside – it’s from the Wishville tour, the band’s swan song and […]
Like all good, reasonable legacy acts, Echo & The Bunnymen have been doing some archive-diving the last little while and been posting live shows and performances on their YouTube channel (the one that says “Official”, the other one is apparently not official, hence it doesn’t say official). I’ll probably be raiding that for a while […]
Though not one of my favourite Siouxsie & The Banshees singles – it was the lead single and closing track from 1982’s A Kiss In The Dreamhouse – “Slowdive” gets respect for not only being the namesake for one of my favourite bands ever1, but for producing this video which forces Budgie, Steven Severin, and […]
