 NOTHING TO DO WITH ROYJoy Orbison Made the Tune of the Year Without TryingBack in 2005 when we featured Skream in the Horror Issue of Vice, no one gave a crap about dubstep. If you went to FWD>> at Plastic People on a Thursday there would be 20 people nodding their heads in a corner next to the speakers.... | |

 TOOT! PARP! GGGHHZZZNN MMMSSSCCCK!Inventor Claims the Eigenharp Is the Future of All MusicThe Eigenharp is the ultimate synth-geek fantasy made real. It resembles what Rick Wakeman might’ve ended up playing if JG Ballard had directed one of his Journey to the Centre of the Earth -era promo videos. But in its capabilities, there is no doubt that it far outstrips any electronic instrument that’s gone before... | |

So many echoes. So many goddamn echoes. Was this recorded in a cave? That is actually a good question. I just looked it up and according to Wikipedia, it was recorded in a... | |

 LEMMYI thought about trying to make the intro to this interview sound like an impartial journalist wrote it. But fuck that. Lemmy is my hero and I’m not going to try and hide it because that’d be no fun. When I was meeting, photographing, and interviewing Lemmy backstage at a recent New York show, I felt like a young boy sidling up to the kitchen table with my grandfather when the houseful of relatives had finally gone silent and he decided that... | |

 THE DUCHESS OF YORKOn the Town With Bloody WoundsBloody Wounds is a strange person, and she makes strange music that is so undefined by conventional genre, you end up finding yourself in it. I hear a helpless, distorted-thinking, ambitious little person up against a vicious town with nothing but music as a shield, because that’s who I was as a kid. The photographer I took with me to Bloody Wounds’s hometown of York, Pennsylvania, noted her... | |

 THE NEW NOISEWithout a single release to their name and only a handful of shows under their belts, a brand-spanking new trio from Providence, Rhode Island have been creating a crazy frenzy in the North East. Their shows are like anarchist induced guerilla warfare and their blend of sonic punk is quite literally like shock treatment. Seriously, it’s brutal. Who is this band... | |

 THE FRENTE! BACKLASHIt wasn’t long ago that Angie Hart was a sixteen year-old regular at our favourite Fitzroy live-music venue, the Punters Club. That was just prior to one of the bar tenders asking her to join his band, Frente!, at which very moment they began making a bunch of memorable pop songs that’ve pervaded the airwaves over the last few years. Along... | |

 THIS IS UKHC, NOT LAThe British hardcore scene is so exciting at the moment… and weird. A few years ago, the concept of major label A&Rs at hardcore shows was unthinkable, but now, probably thanks to things like Nirvana and Green Day getting signed, bands with their roots in DIY culture are being taken out to fancy pizza restaurants by people who work for huge labels... | |
