Mysterious and experimental, Canadian wackadoos ANGINE DE POITRINE
(French for angina pectoris. A severe pain in the chest and left arm, caused
by heart disease) featuring (cuckoo aliases) Khn de Poitrine (guitar/bass) and Klek de Poitrine (drums) became a stunning sensation overnight with the
release of their 2nd jaw-dropping LP, Vol. II, last April.
Suddenly, all their tour dates sold out in no time.
And everybody – press, social media, TV – wants
a piece of them.
2027 looks like it will be their year too.
They just announced new tour dates.
Erick Lee Purkhiser aka Lux Interior (October 21, 1946 – February 4, 2009) would have
turned 80 today. He and his future wife, Kristy Marlana Wallace aka Poison Ivy (73 now), formed The Cramps in 1976. They were married for 37 years.

LAMBRINI GIRLS, the two riotous razorblade girrrrlzz – vox/guitarist Phoebe Lunny and bassist Lilly Macieira – from Brighton (UK) with an insatiable appetite for mass moshpits and kicking political, right-wing asses, rose to fame like a crazed comet in the past few years.
Following, last year’s ferocious punk debut LP, Who Let The Dogs Out,
they went from dusty clubs to big venues, all over the Western world.
Now they have announced their follow-up longplayer.
It’s named NO REFUNDS and will hit the streets on
January 15, 2027.
Press info: The follow-up to their acclaimed 2025 debut Lambrini Girls return with
a darker and increasingly more urgent record for a world that, in their own words,
“got even worse”. The band are keeping up an undeniable momentum with their
potent strain of scathing social commentary and barbed humour.
‘No Refunds’ confronts a litany of modern horrors, from genocide and fascism to the rise
of AI, reproductive rights, and the descent into the grubby basement of the ‘manosphere’,
all whilst expanding the sonic world that made Lambrini Girls’ debut so memorable.
Industrial punk sits alongside moments of pop-adjacent immediacy, angular basslines
and unexpected vulnerability, with the duo pairing their most confrontational material
with the dark humour and wit that has become synonymous with the duo.”
– SPILT –
LG go acoustic and mellow.
No kidding!
– THE BASEMENT –
Industrial sledgehammer.
No kidding!
Band: THE AVALANCHES Who: Synth-dance-pop
veterans from down under.
Active: Since 1997
Album: BAD MEMORIES
Their 4th in 29 years.
Lazy bastards.
TUTV: The album sounds quite passé. It’s overcrowded with samples,
crazy little voices, and kickstars. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.
Artwork: The cover features a cartoon-like, futuristic, and nostalgic illustration
including an anthropomorphized iPod and a floppy disk. It aligns with the album’s
themes, which revolve around memories, nostalgia, and the influence of the modern world of technology and consumer culture.
It was designed by Australian artist Jonathan Zawada.
Legendary country & rock star GRAM PARSONS (1946-1973), who passed away
at only 26, following a drug and alcohol overdose, will be inducted, posthumously,
into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 14th.
Ahead of it, November 11, a cast of big names such as Elvis Costello, The Black Crowes,
and Emmylou Harris will pay tribute to Parsons at the by-now historic Troubadour club
in West Hollywood, CA. The evening is announced as ‘A Song For Gram Parsons’.
Who: The moniker of hip-hop-pop singer-songwriter/guitarist Yinka Oyewole, son of Nigerian immigrants born in Essex/East London,
brought up in the north of Scotland, and who became an adult
in southeast London.
Track: FOREIGN MUCK
Piece from his upcoming EP, named ‘Anomaly Part 1’,
scheduled for release 13th November.
The inspiration for the song struck Yinka during a walk down a bustling London High Street. Observing his surroundings, he noticed how seamlessly international influences have shaped the British everyday experience, particularly through the ubiquitous food outlets many now consider homegrown staples, from major fast-food chains to local kebab and pizza shops.
TUTV: Foreign Muck is a sarcastic swipe at the UK’s current conversation around immigration and racism. Sabbata‘s mix of his 6-string take on the British national
anthem and his semi-rapping rant are aimed at the greedy and hypocritical Brits
who can’t get enough of all sorts of expensive foreign products and at the same
time look down on foreign people.
Sabbata sets your pelvis in motion. You will not get enough of this quick-witted jam
that hits bullseye on reality. I see Tom Morello enjoying himself over there in the corner.
“You got Gucci shades, Prada shoes
Diesel jeans, scarf’s Louis , you
Gotta a girl who likes Chanel and Dior
She’s worth that and so much more
As you open the door of your Benz or your Bima
Bugatti is the next car you dream of
Get Enough! No, you can’t get enough!
Get Enough! Enough Foreign Muck
Get Enough! No, you can’t get enough!
Enough Foreign Muck!
“We met New Order for the first time at the NME Awards
in 2005. We were starstruck. And then I was in the bathroom,
I was at the urinal and their singer Bernard Sumner steps up
next to me and he started singing our song ‘Somebody Told Me’ in my ear. I was 23, it was surreal. That’s so out of this world to have that happen. It was incredible.”
The Killers actually got their name from a fictional band called The Killers, with their
name emblazoned on the drum kit in the video clip of New Order‘s songChrystal from 2001. When a young Brandon Flowers saw the clip, he decided to baptize his new band The Killers.
Lot van Teylingen (vocalist) about the album: “It’s like coming up from
the basement and entering the first floor. You have matured, you know each
other better: it’s all happened very organically. In many aspects, it’s been a
transformative process.”
TUTV: These Dutchmen do not waste time on Breakfast Of Champions.
They race and rush with nerve-wracking dash from the get-go, proppeled
by a stormy bass/drum tandem provoke head-spinning dizziness. Add
pungent vocals, eager guitars and a razzle-dazzle chorus and you know
we have a roaring post-pop-punk winner.
