Since last year’s Cartoon Darkness, their 3th album, the out-of-their-heads
rocking Aussies AMYL AND SNIFFERS went on the road and they have clearly
no intention to go home yet.
Last weekend they steamed-up the crowd at Reading Leeds Festival.
Never a dull moment with roisterous front Amazone Amyl Taylor. FACT!

Irish heroes FONTAINES D.C. were all over Europe and the UK this summer to

Delirious!

Join the 80,000.
We the people fight for our existence
We don’t claim to be perfect but we’re free
We dream our dreams alone with no resistance
Fading like the stars we wish to be
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
True perfection has to be imperfect
I know that that sounds foolish but it’s true
Day has come, now you’ll have to accept
Life inside your head we give to you
You know I didn’t mean what I just said
But my God woke up on the wrong side of his bed
And it just don’t matter now
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
As little by little we gave you everything you ever dreamed of
Little by little the wheels of your life have slowly fallen off
Little by little you have to give it all in all your life
And all the time I just ask myself why you’re really here?
Why am I really here?
Why am I really here?

Band: BLACKOUT PROBLEMS
Who: German act, making emo noizz rock since
2005. So far they fabricated 5 longplayers.
Track: MURDERER
With a title like that, problems
are definitely in the air.
SOULWAX, the brothers David and Stephen Dewaele‘ band for 30 years now,
is only one of the siblings’ diverse projects. They DJed the world around as
2manydjs, had their own Radio Soulwax, and produced/remixed countless
other artists.
They are quite active this summer playing multiple
festivals. Last June they did their techno thing at
Best Kept Secret – The Netherlands .
And a couple of weeks ago they announced birth details of their
6th LP. It’s baptized All Systems Are Lying and will see the day
of light on October 17th.

Along with the news
they shared two tasters.

Rock ‘n’ synth banger
– ALL SYSTEMS ARE LYING –

GETDOWN SERVICES is a wacky, snappy and catchy disco-rap-punk tandem from
Bristol, UK, who made a pronto impression in their home country with titillating
2023 debut LP Crisps.
Last year, they followed it with a rapturous 6-track EP, named Crumbs and
last June they launched another 6-track EP, called Primordial Slot Machine.
Slowly but surely, the madcap tandem’s tunes found their way into Europe‘s
indie scene too. They started touring the continent non-stop (as I witnessed myself
in Brugge, Belgium last January) and they’re still hanging around for a series of gigs.
Last June, they stopped for a short set at London‘s State51 Conspiracy studios,
the home of a multifaceted indie music company. Of course, they played their
biggest hit so far, DOG DRIBBLE (almost 4 million streams on Spotify).
If your limbs do not respond to this hyperkinetic dribble,
you need to change your meds or consult your shrink.

After a wild run between 2000 and 2012 (with 4 albums and several hit
singles), New York‘s flamboyant synth pop sensation SCISSOR SISTERS
announced an indefinite hiatus.
Last October, the news came in that they would be back on stage in 2025.
And so happened. One of their biggest gigs was last June at Glastonbury
Festival.
One of the show’s standout thrills occurred when they performed
2006 hit I Don’t Feel like Dancin’ (more than 120 million streams
on Spotify).
The impact was the inverse. Everybody was dancing.
