Daily fuel to load your sonic batteries…

 

One of the most exciting gigs I witnessed this year was by Los Angeles electro trash punks SEXTILE when they hit my home country Belgium early February on their first European tour. Check Turn Up The Volume‘s impressions of that night right here. The blistering band led by duo Brady Keehn, a modern-day Richard Hell and Melissa Scaduto, hitting her drums instinctively like The Velvet Undergound‘s Mo Tucker, produce a hot rip-roaring electronic pandemonium with an invigorating power you simply can’t resist. Now, after their stellar 2017 debut album Albeit Living they return with new rousing single PARADOX from their upcoming 5-track EP, entitled 3. An inflammatory firecracker thundering like electronica pioneers Suicide on speed. Mind-stimulating, body-energizing and soul-stirring. Experience the turbulent whirlwind right here…

SEXTILE – Celestial Bodies From Los Angeles Hit Belgium With A Non-Stop Electro Trash Punk Smack…

Posted on by JL

SEXTILE – Wilde Westen, Kortrijk (Belgium) – 2 February 2018

Wow! Wow! Wow! All the way from sunlit Los Angeles electro trash dance punks SEXTILE invaded Belgium, as part of their very first European tour, yesterday and gave us a steamy sauna experience that made us all forget the freezing cold outside, instantly. I discovered this ace squad (= meaning: aspect or position of 60° between two planets or other celestial bodies) only a few weeks ago and what a spectacular find it is. They sound like 80s electro punks D.A.F. (Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft) having the time of their life jamming with legends Suicide while aiming at breaking the decibels rules. Something like this blistering bolide…

Also this 4-headed whirlwind looks utterly cool with frontman Brady Keehn as a mixed reincarnation of James Dean and Richard Hell, with the tremendously hammering drummer Melissa Scaduto reminding me instantly of the fabulous Mo Tucker (the hitting heartbeat of the timeless 70s icons Velvet Undeground) and synths/guitars tandem Eddie Wuebben and Cameron Michel going for the British Romantics look. As well on record as on stage they create a rip-roaring pandemonium and develop an intoxicating potency you simply can’t resist. This is, without a shout of a doubt a must watch/hear/follow gang. They’ll be your new favorite band the very minute you’ll experience their mammoth stroke potential. No time to waste, fellow music junkies, here’s their newest, supersonic jumbo jet LP ALBEIT LIVING…
