New single: TRUST FUND TREE

Bionca Maldonado: “It’s an ode to putting yourself first, even when it hurts.
It recalls my youth of being trapped by controlling family and crushing expectations
dangled on strings of generational wealth. I chose to break away and carve a path
of my own happiness, even though it meant stripping myself of every hand-out that
comes along with the blood-money-funded cookie-cutter lifestyle. It reminds me that
I fight for passion, self-expression and freedom over capitalist convenience.”

Score: Independence, freedom of speech, struggle for your own life, self-exploration
and self-esteem. This is what this barbed wire garage punk slam dunk is about. It all
starts off with a short parade drum roll and Maldonado raging and blazing in the back.

After 20 seconds all burners inflamen, producing a torching mid-tempo sonic
boom with Maldonado on a fuming rush now. Crackbrained guitars all over
the place while the rumbling thunders on. Holy cow! Fucktastic.

In-your-face. Turned-on. Razor-blade-sharp.

Move your furniture and go ballistic…

The God Of Fuck Is Back – MARILYN MANSON States That ‘WE ARE CHAOS’

Posted on by JL

New sonic impulses…

30 July 2020

The self-declared God of Fuck is ready to wake us all up with his 11th album, entitled
WE ARE CHAOS (indeed, we are). Look out for its 9/11 release. He recorded the fresh
full length before the pandemic hit the world as if he knew what was coming our way.

Manson stated about the new longplayer and its title track “When I listen to ‘We Are Chaos’now, it seems like just yesterday or as if the world repeated itself, as it always does.
This was recorded to its completion without anyone hearing it until it was finished. But just
like an LP, it is a flat circle and it’s up to the listener to put the last piece of the puzzle into
the picture of songs.”

“Making this record, I had to think to myself: “Tame your crazy, stitch your suit. And try to pretend that you are not an animal” but I knew that mankind is the worst of them all.
Making mercy is like making murder. Tears are the human body’s largest export.”

and hurt inside.”

Bristol’s power punks IDLES just announced their third album called ULTRA MONO,
out 25th September. Last month they unleashed riff crazy track Mr. Motivator, a
strong contender for single of the year. And here’s a new firm uppercut.

Frontman Joe Talbot says about GROUNDS: ““We wanted to write a song that embodied self-belief, and gave us self-belief — a counter-punch to all the doubt we build up from all the noise we so easily let in. We wanted to make the sound of our own hearts’ marching band, armed with a jackhammer and a smile. We wanted to make the sound of our engine starting. So we did. Thank you.”

Here’s the brisk banger…
