Mykki Blanco - Wavvy - Directed by Francesco Carrozzini. Agrimonia: "Talion" Ex-Workers' Collective : Ümlaut. Hear this and fear this, mothers and fuckers!
Ever since they burst into the hardcore scene on the biggest, loudest, dirtiest stolen motorcycles ever smuggled into Scandinavia, Umlaut—the most feral, furious, and above all Finnish band in the history of punk rock blast beat destruction—has represented the epitome of nihilistic, transgressive energy. This 38-song CD collects their complete works in under half an hour of music, including such hits as "Thrill of the Open Road," "Hell Bent on Destruction," and "Nuclear Annihilation. " It comes in an 80-page book that gathers all their lyrics ("I want to ride a sonic boom across a land with no borders, I'll be the crash test dummy of the No World Order!
Yeah! "), crazed manifestos ("We hail the highway with speedometer needles in our eyes! ") Low-fi MP3 Samples: We Don't Give A Fuck | Brothers In Arms | Thrill of the Open Road CD is $9ppd and $5 wholesale at our online store. We Don’t Give a Fück (mp3) Systems of Romance. Some of you readers may know that I have moonlight as a DJ in NYC for over ten years.
During my tenure, I’ve DJed post-punk, shoegaze, coldwave, minimal synth, and everything in between. However, these days I’ve been leaning heavily on the new beat side of things, tapping into the Belgian subculture. For those unfamiliar with the genre (for shame!) , new beat is a hyrbid of EBM, acid house and the Chicago/Detroit dance scene, and some of the best tracks walk a fine line between all three. Tempos are slow, lyrics and samples are usually sexually charged, and acid squelches are plentiful.
History lesson aside, many new beat records are affordable, and like any insular dance movement, there was a flood of songs on the market. Iconoclass is yet another project from these dudes, and quite possibly the best.

Beautiful Eulogy Live at Portland Underground Recording. Evening Bell - "Restless Angel" Mo-Dettes - WHITE MICE - RARE VIDEO. Yes Homo! by Emily Nokes and Bree McKenna - Seattle Music. Hello and welcome to our Seattle queer band roundup!
"Queer bands," as we are using the term, are like other bands, only they have queer members. Just like when a "girl band" has all women in it, or like the rare "dude band," full of dudes. For some bands, sexuality and LGBT issues play a prominent role in their music, while other bands of queer persuasion simply play music and happen to not be straight. We gaylords, fag hags, and glitter-encrusted allies over here at The Stranger make efforts to ALWAYS include queer musicians in our coverage (unless they suck), so this queer-band presentation is less like a "token list of things we never care about until there's a holiday based on it" and more like "SWEET!
In honor of this being The Stranger's Queer Issue, here are six great queer bands we'd like you to check out, regardless of whether or not they are playing a show in the next seven days, which is usually the first thing we base music coverage on! " How long have you been a band? Yes Homo! by Emily Nokes and Bree McKenna - Seattle Music. Bish Bosch Ambisymphonic. Damero feat. Zander VT "Capricorn Saltlick" Watch Autre Ne Veut Perform "Counting" and New Song "World War" on Pitchfork.tv. Women Of Punk. DOOM x Clams Casino – BOOKFIEND – Lex Projects. Boards of Canada's New Album: Tomorrow's Harvest. Resurrecting the Prophet by Emily Nokes - Seattle Music. Behead the Prophet No Lord Shall Live were a fantastically spastic Northwest hardcore band whose chaotic energy and intense live shows carved them a place in the Olympia/Bellingham DIY heyday of the 1990s.
While they're often associated with the "queercore" genre, they prefer the term "schrag" to define their teeth-melting sound, made extra-special with the inclusion of an itchy white-noise violin (the dissonant instrument was played by the remarkable Michael Griffen who, sadly, passed away in 2008). In a much-anticipated Magma Festival finale that also includes Olympia's freshly united the Need, current Oly band Hysterics, and Seattle's Body Betrayal, BTP are playing the Vera Project after 15 years of dormancy, for no real reason other than someone asked them to.
It's been a while! What year did BTP officially call it quits? JP: We never did call it quits, but we played our last show in 1998 in Seattle, at someone's warehouse/apartment across from the Moore called the Blue Door. DH: Ha!
