Streets Kill Strange Animals. Chinese noise rock influenced by Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, Yo La Tango and the rapid pace of change and modernization in China. „There was less pollution and fewer people in the 80s of my childhood, though you could enjoy less entertainment and there wasn’t such chaos in the cities. So it seems that I’m a passenger on the bus these days.”

Some moments of a Pizzaboy’s life: „I’m gonna wear the same clothes everyday in California just change my undies and socks. That was my plan but apparently I drank too much last night! Pissed the bed and lost a „Z” from my jacket… walking through the airport with a massive pee stain on my pants was pretty tight.”

A MoE egy zenekar Norvégiából, amely ismeri és keveri a minimalista kompozíciókat a kísérleti és alternatív megközelítésekkel. Ez a zene egyáltalán nem próbál illeszkedni a rock műfajába, sőt számtalan esetben lépi át a rock, illetve a zaj határait. Teszi ezt hangosan és hevesen, amíg egyre közelebb kerül a hallgató az egészséges őrültségig.

The Norwegian band MoE is known for mixing their minimalistic compositions with alternative and experimental approaches that fails to fit in the rock genre. With countless collaborations exceeding the borders of rock and noise, MoE seeks the absolute presence in the execution of the music. Loud and violently, they molest their instruments and brings the listener closer to a healthy insanity.

I thought that I know somehow or other about the early French punk scene, because I have some old V/A tapes, but these bands are totally unknown for me.

„The first French incarnations of “Le Punk” (pronounced “paink” in numerous locales) were not carbon copies of their foreign exemplars.(…) There was nothing and no one to forge a connection between the handful of small, isolated groups, fundamentally motivated by a passion for what they deemed true rock ‘n’ roll (the desire to terrorize the neighborhood arrived soon afterward), each in their own little world, trying to provoke their backwater village or their lame metropolis. (…) It was not a movement of any kind, contrary to what was said later. (…) In the photos, we do not see Johnny Rotten’s cousins, but rather an unlikely, haphazard and disorganized bunch.”

Murmurs – cassette EP by Italian Beach Babes

„If you don’t have a tape player, it’s just a fancy box for a download code.”

It’s been more than a year since their last 2-song EP but the waiting is over now – stay tuned until 15th November when the new Fuseism EP is to be released by Go Away Records with 4+2 brand new tracks – Hungarian nerdy noise rock, dark indie punk and that certain guitar sound!

So, here are three short previews from the upcoming EP

The Steam Engine was one of the best Hungarian metal bands. The last EP

The guitarist, Tibi Rebák replied to my questions

What was the first own record in your life? Please write some words about it!

Metallica – St Anger. In contrast with the public opinion, I think it’s one of the best Metallica albums. It’s full of huge riffs and themes. It gives me many more so musically as lyrically. Some years later there was a film, Some Kind of Monster. It helps understand this album, the then chaotic years, and places the full Metallica-phenomenon to another view.

Which record made the biggest influence on you?

I can’t and don’t want go under five albums. Rather see this video; it exercises really great influence on me

If you don’t recognize him, click!

What was the last record that you heard?

The Russian Cirlces’ new album, the Memorial turns round and round nowadays. I have mixed feelings. Unfortunately they made a mistake, previously published the highly best song of the album, Deficit, and compared to this almost perfect track there are few outstanding moments, for example the Burial and the Lebaron. Maybe the sound was never so much metal than now; in some places it is wholly Norwegian. Despite its shortness the album is homogenous throughout. Well, it’s one of the best things of this year smoothly. Moreover I can see them on November 14 in Budapest with the Pozvakowski. Perfect.

All of Steam Engine records are free!

YOU OUGHT TO JUST BUY A GOOD GUITAR” or

Two important albums of alternative country
will be reissued on Nov 19 by Bloodshot Records

The Bottle Rockets’ debut from 1993,
and their next album, The Brooklyn Side from 1994.

The Bottle Rockets are pioneers of alt-country. The roots of this subgenre go back to the 80s. There were two bands in the Midwest, The Primitives played rockabilly, then punk, finally blues oriented fast garage rock; the Chicken Truck played outlaw country music. The two bands occasionally played together. The first band changed his name into Uncle Tupelo, and released his debut album in 1990. The ’No Depression’ would be the first „alternative country” labelled record. In same year the Chicken Truck split up, and the singer and guitarist, Brian Henneman became a roadie and guitar technician of Uncle Tupelo, but he also played on shows and records as a permanent guest. Furthermore a country cover band, the Coffee Creek was founded by U.T. and Brian, who after a successful solo single (backed by U.T. men and ex-Chicken Truck drummer) founded his own band with ex-C. T. members in 1992. The Bottle Rockets’ first album was released in the following year. And the end of beginning of alt-country in 1994 the Uncle Tupelo split into two part: Wilco and Son Volt.

But the pioneers of alt-country dispute that they discovered any singular thing: „we were just picking up the ball, starting with Woody Guthrie and on to the early ’60s and the Flying Burrito Brothers that we were influenced by. We didn’t start a genre. We contributed to a long line of fairly good music.” – said Mike Heidorn, the ex-drummer of Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt. Never mind, the alt-country is flourishing.

In one hand, the phrase shows the opposition to the Nashville dominated corporate country, in other hand marks the difference from traditional country style. There are various elements of rock and roll, rockabilly, punk, rock and blues mixing with country, like in the music of Bottle Rockets:

Stories about the blue-collar side of America on remastered two-CD reissue set with 19 previously unreleased tracks: Chicken Truck and acoustic demo versions, songs with Uncle Tupelo members from the pre-Bottle Rockets era, live and radio performances. The package consists of an 40-page booklet.
