Ed preformed solo for 3 years traveling the country with his voice and a drum. He was asked to play a rave in Baltimore. Looking to expand his performance, he asked Devlin to join him onstage with his bass. Since then the two have been making minimal post punk rock. And it’s so strange than pairing of David Bowie and King Diamond, because they’re their favourite artists. Ed Schrader’s Music Beat

Two young Slovenian keyboard enthusiasts produce great electro-industrial-noise-core-metal with only two keyboards and some samples. I have invited them to play at RNR666 Party and made this very short IT’S EVERYONE ELSE interview.

RNR666 – I think it’s not your first band. What were there before?
Luci – Pika (the female part of IEE) was a singer in a few bands during her high school years but she never found the right people to complete her musical visions. I myself had a little noise project going on, but for the both of us the first „serious” band was (and still is) IT’S EVERYONE ELSE. We played our first gig under the name „Hold Your Horses” but as soon as we found our sound, we changed the name to IT’S EVERYONE ELSE, because we thought it was more appropriate.

How IT’S EVERYONE ELSE started?
– It started after we exchanged some demos and realized that our ideas are pretty compatible. We started rehearsing and we just clicked. A few months later we player our first concert and after that we just kept going and going.

What are your inspirations?
– Our biggest inspiration is life itself. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoy a lot of music, movies, books, paintings etc. and we get a lot of ideas out of that, but there is nothing as inspiring as people, emotions and social interactions. We are the soundtrack to the rainbow of human emotions.

Sirens + Nirvana – Stay Away cover

Can you play other instruments beside keyboards?
– We have no formal music education and we can barely play keyboards:) We don’t really care about notes, scales or chords, we just play what sounds good to our ears. I think we developed our own way of playing synths, which is much more similar to playing riffs on a guitar rather than playing piano in the traditional sense.

Their second album is released on vinyl by Noise Appeal Records (Austria).

Free Alt-Country from the Big Prairie of London

„Phil’s primary influences are the alt-country of Wilco, the surrealist melancholia of Sparklehorse and experimental rock of Califone, though more than a hint of Captain Beefheart’s magisterial influence can be detected in the lyrics and song titles. Ian brings bluegrass chops and punk sensibilities in equal measure, whilst Barney’s slide and fingerstyle guitar reveal a love of the pre-war splendor of Mississippi John Hurt and Blind Willie McTell”, but the time of the description Louisa wasn’t in the Cat Meat yet.

Black Ice Cream Experience

Peculiar experimental tropical music from electro-noise tunes to danceable pop melodies by Helado Negro. Son of Ecuadorian immigrants, who has grown in the Latin-American bustle of South-Florida. His interest was arouse by the sounds of tropical nature and environment: subwoofers in the cars, howling music of portable stereos, uproars of night parties and more. Since then he looks on every device as musical instruments. I’m glad to hear about him again, because
