New EP time! 5 tracks from the Norwegian band Electric High of which 2 were previously unreleased: Go Easy On My Heart and Sexy One. The self titled opener was among the first songs they wrote, but at long last they got everything right recently to immortalize it in the studio. The theme's a classic:... Continue Reading →
Fear The Tides – Home
Today I'd like to show you this track that makes me feel like Home again. In the sense that it makes me feel like an 18 year old metalhead again. It was 2001 and nu metal was going as soon as it came in favour of hardcore and metalcore and this track of the South... Continue Reading →
LULL – Fed Up
LULL got their new single Fed Up out and it's exactly as you'd expect: loud, heartfelt and a bit over 2 minutes long. And while these lads from Newcastle (UK) are heavily influenced by hardcore, it's working fine on a punk mixtape as well. Generally it's a bit slower than hardcore too, but the vocal...

Geo Moon ft. Taylor Mitchell (Not Now Norman) – Run Boy (No Longer)
After the big releases 12 Years of Patience and Prior to the Forest you know you can be sure of 2 things: 1. You won't know what to expect, as Geo Moon is as eclectic as the colour palette of Van Gogh. And 2. Whatever comes out is generally good. Definitely no jack of all... Continue Reading →
Hybrid Kid – Coming Round Again
It feels like it's been only a couple of days since the last time I wrote about Hybrid Kid, but it turned out to be a little over a month. I guess their previous single 1 2 3 was a good friend to spend time with, as it apparently flew by. Their latest outing is... Continue Reading →
Guerilla State – Autonomy : Part One
It's Friday! A new weekly music overdose is upon us, but luckily there's >1000Followers to filter what's good. And this brand new EP of Guerilla State, you guessed it, is exactly that. Half a dozen tracks for your pleasure, so where to start... The first track! Harbinger makes no secret of its early 2000's Muse... Continue Reading →
Madonnatello – You Owe Me Rent
Don't let the Danish group Madonnatello deceive you with You Owe Me Rent. In fact, don't let Madonnatello deceive you with being Madonnatello, thought provoking as they are. If you see their cover art, their band logo in particular, you'd expect metal, grindcore maybe. But instead you get treated with a beautiful steamy indie-shoegaze-pop track... Continue Reading →
Kite Thief – Sweepstake
Kite Thief has already made name in alt rock/prog metal with their previous 3 singles, but with a twist: sugar sweet sounding vocals and right when you've become comfortable with them, a lioness gets unleashed out of nowhere. Sweepstake feels like this is going to be "the ballad" for a whole 15 seconds, but fear... Continue Reading →
Lazer Beam – Sno Burn
Every now and then there's a track that hits me personally right in the gut because it's simply thát confronting. Now this isn't about me, though I have my struggles with self love and self care and that's exactly the dangerous pit this is about. In the words of Lazer Beam: “It’s about having a... Continue Reading →
Moon Museum – Pleasures of Peace
Melancholy is key on this one. On this brand new guitar and vocals driven track of Moon Museum the singer can be heard reminiscing "It's okay, I dream about you anyway" about not very long ago: San Francisco before the tech boom transformed the area completely. And while Moon Museum can normally be found in... Continue Reading →
