A FIST IN THE FACE OF GOD - SALUTE
Salute are one of England’s best metal acts. They play that real metal sound I know you all love. I caught up with frontman Tom Swine for an interview, partly because they are playing at the Old Blue Last next weekend (details below) but mostly because I wanted a chat. Here’s a little of what we spoke about.
A FIST IN THE FACE OF GOD - BLACK BREATH
Taking their name from a Repulsion track and hailing out of Seattle, Black Breath play something as close to real metal as it gets these days. Touching on black, death, thrash, hardcore, d-beat, and influenced by the likes of Bathory, Poison Idea, Celtic Frost, Sacrilege, Anti-Cimex and Discharge, it’s a sound worth getting excited about. I caught up with master of battery, Jamie Byrum, and asked him a few brief questions.
HAIRCUTS ARE THE NEW JOURNALISM
What is it with hairdressing at the moment? Firstly Spike Jonze cut Shane’s hair and now we’ve stuck The So So Glos in a barber’s chair to talk to them and filmed it. We better be careful or its going to get totally played out, we’ll need to think of a new hook, like talking to people while they shop for pets or while they visit their ex-wives. Either would be good. Clicky clicky to watch the movie. Read more »
A Swedish Jazz-Improv Singer Who Sings All Crazy
Our new favorite singer is Lindha Kallerdahl, a Swedish chanteuse who combines pretty, quiet singing with these improvisational vocal stylings that, honestly, we’re having a hard time describing. It’s like a little bit of every kind of sound that a person can make. Shrieking, wailing, hiccupping, yodeling, warbling, chirping, burping, sneezing, panting, grunting, etc., etc. If you tried to transcribe it, it would be like: “Goo-ree! Goo-ree! Hup! Heeee! Lalalalala-leeeeee-aaaaah-ooooooh-eeeee, heep-hoop! Sha la la lup dup dup DOOP! Bleega bleega kooweep!” Stuff like that.
