Review of FALL CITY FALL’s Victus album; Dropping 1/22/13 on Victory Records
Here’s one from Lord Covey before he hit the road with Shai Hulud. VICTUS is dropping on 1/22 via Victory Records, so cop it when it hits, or go pre-order it NOW for special deals and packages. Kudos, Calgary!
Fall City Fall – Victus (Victory Records)
The first full-length album from Calgary-based Fall City Fall, Victus, is billed by Victory Records as a truly boundary-pushing hardcore record. So, I was a bit skeptical when the record opens with a kinda standard-issue slowmotional hardcore intro song. But by the time the second tune, “Dissentipede,” gets going, it’s clear there is a bigger plan at work in FCF’s writing. In the first couple minutes, they slickly pull off a plot that feels distinctly like the layered reveal of a “monster next door” villain in a murder mystery…and you’ve realized just a little too late.
Interview with Sandro Schiena from UK’s TURNPIKE GLOW, who’re making Indie Pop fun again! @thesyndotcom @turnpikeglow
London, England quartet Turnpike Glow are every indie-popper’s dream… Fun, bouncy, energy-laden tunes to rile up the audience and put a smile on your face. Catchy and infectious, Turnpike Glow already are what every band in Williamsburg band wishes they could be… Worthy of that solid 5.5 write up from those pretentious and never-happy-unless-it’s-Kanye types over at P’fork. Punch up, folks.
Great interview with Tommy Benedetti from John Brown’s Body; Playing #Syracuse, NY TONIGHT 1/18/13!!! @johnbrownsbody
You’d be hard pressed to find a current roots-reggae band with more drive, innovation, and straight up talent than Ithaca, NY’s John Brown’s Body. If you have ever been to one of their performances, you know what I’m talking about. If you call yourself a reggae fan and haven’t seen them yet, you should either hustle up and get to one, or drop the “fan” moniker from your self-description. These guys wail!
Aleister X new video for “LAX” dropped today; @Andrewwk knows how to pick ’em!

As we will always support AWK and his endeavors, we wanted to bring this to you for a bit of evening entertainment. It’s pretty tripped out; Give a listen and let us know what you think!

ALEISTER X“LAX” VIDEO PREMIERE ON NOISEY!
HALF-SPEED MASTERED ALBUM OUT FEB.19th, 2013Noisey has the world video premiere for the song “LAX” by artist, Aleister X. Taking complete control in the director’s chair, the video depicts Hollywood’s voyeuristic excess as seen through the psychedelic and manic eyes of Aleister X. Layering live instrumentation, harmony vocals, and a dazzling array of skewed samples, the song’s sunshine-pop sound is infused with bouncy electronic beats and Aleister’s cockney tinged emceeing. The video’s combination of menace, glamour, humor, and absurdity welcomes the viewer deep into the Aleister X universe.
