What Matt said on both counts. I see Ty Segall is playing in June actually, I really should grab a ticket.

Been going down a major Cardiacs family tree rabbit hole this year so far (I thought there was a Cardiacs thread already but there isnt), and Katherine In A Cupboard are ticking all the boxes for me. Very little online by them bar a few demos and stuff on youtube. This song is particularly great

On a very different buzz the last Czarface album is on repeat

Been listening to Andy Stott all morning
Discogs has the style of one of his albums down as: Dark Ambient, House, Drone, Techno, Experimental

I have 'Luxury Problems' and 'Faith In Strangers' on vinyl a fair few years, & rate them highly

Streaming 'We Stay Together' atm, which is sounding great

Tempted to buy on vinyl to get more out of it

Any recommendations?



Faith In Strangers is the only one I know well, great album, but yeah, can't recommend anything further though.

Listening to A Lethal Black Ooze a fair bit the last month or so. Not sure where in the country they're from. Dublin maybe?

It's a Dubliner living in  Waterford I believe, yeah I like the EP. Im of a mind to see if we can do something together gig wise in the Deise at some point, the Luca boys turned me on to them.

Can't say I hear Fontaines in there but then I'd rather eat my own arms than listen to that fucking terrible band.Or that Murder Capital bullshit for that matter.

Fair enough.

Their track "I Like To Feel Alright" reminds me of "Hurricane Laughter" and "Big" by Fontaines DC.

For what it's worth - I really like the debut Fontaines record a lot. And I saw The Murder Capital in Cyprus Avenue before Christmas and they were absolutely lethal. Much better than the first couple of times that I saw them before their first album came out.

Luxury Problems and Faith In Strangers are the two I know best. Both amazing and quite different. LP is just like slow techno. Love it. Never checked out anything earlier than that but had "Never The Right Time" on yesterday as it happens, and really enjoyed it. Will have to give it more time. Same for the one before.

Gang of Four - Entertainment on this morning. Great album that I always overlooked for whatever reason.

H31R - HeadSpace. I dunno what it is. Electronic female hip hop, I suppose. Enjoyable anyway. Whatever it is.

Do you guys like Scarlxrd? He's one of the heaviest non metal music I listen to I love his vocals and beats I think he'd do awesome in a metal band. If ye havent heard him yet i recommend :]

Quote from: Carnage on January 25, 2024, 08:24:36 PMThere are very few bands I despise more than The Smiths. Morrissey, really. There isn't enough hate in the world for that flute.

Took me a long time to get into them. Decades in fact. Morrissey's voice and Marr's jangle were absolutely the antithesis of what I'm into. One thing I've learned about myself over the years though is that when a band/artist is that beloved and critically acclaimed then it's prob just me that's the issue and at some point down the line I will get it if I keep checking in every few years. One night it was just the night and I got it and now I'm a superfan. Same thing happened with Frank Zappa, The Beatles, The Cure, punk as a genre etc. There are artists like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Who etc that I'm not into at all now, but I still put an album on every few years just to check and at some point I expect I'll be a fan of all them too.

How Soon Is Now and Panic. That's it for me, his insufferable smugness prevents me ever listening to them by choice.


Hey guys check out this band I just discovered them today. They're kinda stoner rock but I really like it the music and vocals are good and the lyrics are pretty funny but they haven't released any music since 2016 and their socials are dead which sucks I'd like to hear more they looked good live too.

Tears For Fears: 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'.

I can't explain it but they hit the spot, even though it isn't music I would ordinarily seek out. Catchy melodies that stick in your head.

Love that album Songs from the Big Chair but haven't really tried out much else from them. I did put on the latest one a couple of times but it's not the same vibe as Songs...

Try The Hurting. It's the album directly before Songs From the Big Chair and is of a similar quality, albeit a tiny bit rougher.

Songs From the Big Chair is amazing. Great pop, but it also has all these great syncopated, instrumental, synth breaks throughout that were really unexpected the first time I listened to it.
